Trying to find a nugget of truth
in the forest of lies....

A nugget of wisdom to possess

A billion in gold bars he to

Amass!

Rain is on the way, with cool damp air and cloud cover of gray
    A large golden nugget of sunshine is held in the mind with warmth
  To endure the storm brought by weather’s sudden decision to change

The gold diggers of this world search for their fortunes
in all the wrong places. Because the richest treasures
can only be found in the Holy Bible where God's wealth
waits to be discovered. Every word a gold nugget
enriching the Soul....

There once was a young girl from Nantucket
Who's charms overflowed by the bucket
If you ever saw her nude
You'd try not to be rude
But you'd try to cover up your large nugget

You were expecting something else perhaps???...

A
Vault
In the
Attic holds
Photos and keepsakes
Treasured as a golden nugget
Holding the far memories that persist over time
Yearning secretly that a time machine would exist to bring back the past left behind

Cleaning out this closet is a chore
Not only time consuming, but also a bore
This collection of rocks, I sold some for a dime
I only kept the ones with a beautiful shine
Placing them one by one in the bucket
I jumped up and shouted Yes! for I found a gold nugget...

forgot to ask for honey 
what's a chicken nugget to do?
maybe marshmallow creme
A-1 or ranch dressing
caramel or chocolate drizzle
leftover guacamole
cheese queso beats plain ketchup
just off the top of my head
on the tip of my tongue

Do Leprechauns Exist
Want to know if Leprechauns do exist?
Put out a trap to attract them like this
On Saint Patrick’s Eve
Bake dozens of these 
Biscuits that look like gold nugget snippets.

inspiration burns
turns a spark
from the tinder
     of imagination
into a flame..
          a flame
that gathers up
          experience
burnishes and
             refines
a nugget of emotion
into an image, then
crystallize as a phrase
to become
      a spoken word,
a voice
from
the seeing eye...

Does anyone have an Easter chick?
We have four, a rooster and three hens
Named Junior, nugget, chirpy and twin
These bitties love to snuggle and watch TV
They have taken me for their mom
The rooster likes to be a daredevil
He will run right up to the dog and tempt his fate

The KFC commercials make them cry!...

Hope no longer spreads its wings
and belief is a small nugget of faith
I want to be so restful
and live in your spare room
with rug candles and books
and in the darkness hope against hope
yet I've been lying to myself
I don't want lose threads
to bother me
and now I jumped headlong
one should have really cared...

Golden nugget of wisdom

Listen, harken to me

In all my humble kingdom

The greatest treasure is thee

To watch our love grow and blossom

Everything is golden for me

Richness is your loved ones bosom

So keep your diamonds, loves free...

Las Vegas 1967
Harrah’s, free drinks
Circus Circus, bring the kids
Frontier, win a Chevy

Golden Nugget, best slots
Flamingo Capri, Elvis impersonator
Caesar’s Palace, world’s best buffet

Tropicana, win big
Sahara, all day breakfast
Dunes, best shrimp cocktail thirty cents
Golden Nugget, live girls
I would certainly hope so....

Film Noir

 
They had to operate
remove the one
and from the other
take a nugget.
Later in the hall
they said they got it all.
They said how well
she’d be with rest.
Her first night home,
as we prepared for bed,
she turned to show me.
In my mind the cinema of fleet
but fecund years
ran through another time.

I've been here for so long
trying to soften the dullest words
digging madly inside of me
in search of the prettiest nugget
but when I finally gave up
recognizing to be made of pure gravel
I heard the beautiful cracking sound
of certainties shattering
attesting that maybe
what i believed was horrible in me
could be the best thing I ever had...

Insomnia- the madman napping in the attic.
Alarm clock set for a second past the ogre's hour...
His greasy head resting on a burlap bag. 
Filling with ferrets and rats-firecrackers for teeth.

The alarm goes off-he opens the bag.
Laughing while injecting with red bull and meth..
He lives to plant a sluice box into your mind.
Washing the last nugget from your tired life....

I postulate ocelots
as proselytes for chocolate:
they’d get word out on the dot;
they’re easy to spot.

And I’d tell a parable 
or something comparable,
with a nugget of caramel
to be retold a lot.

Earth brown exterior:
clearly superior;
heavenly interior,
delicious and gold.

Here comes Sir Lancelot,
riding his ocelot.
Yeah, sure, it costs a lot,
but aren’t you sold?...

I thought I’d been given
something of value
a nugget of truth
that I’d been enlightened
had a moment
had the scales
torn from my eyes
the fog 
driven from my thoughts
I felt lighter
my step less weary 
my heart freer 
the world less daunting
not as troubling 
but
it was a lie
a con
a ruse
and so
I laughed
loud and long and deep
had I cried
I would never
have stopped.

Genuine love adds value to lives that cherish, welcome, water, nurture, nourish it and furnish a conducive environment for its germination, growth and its development into a nugget that both lives require for its fuller realization and deployment in two hearts on fire, imbued with the right chemistry at the right time and in the right place. 

Sublime love caresses
kisses, blesses, elevates
edifies, magnifies....

I told a great lie in my time
Should I tell the truth to be free
Politicans lie all the time when in a bind
When truth comes out are they free?
Tell a lie and then the truth
If you are free we will see

What set me free in this sinful world?
It was knowledge 
A nugget of gold not found in the ground
The truth is not about a lie
It's knowing the true God by and by
A world filled with god's to the brim
The truth set me free
When I found him you see...
