Sara was so mad,
her pencil snapped in two halves,
now she holds one half.

This is my Hell
Frigid and frozen
No furnaces to light my way
A dark, drab den
One half of this lonely loveseat
I occupy incessantly
Join me for a jump into this
Quiet quarantine...

old kindredships between twos     took a violent turn

just one half armed     to pierce firing burn

falling down lifeless
the first one half grined with charm
but it's all his mind...

My apple contained half a worm
This really made my tummy churn
I’d devoured one half
It sure made me barf
In future an apple I’ll spurn

Need a charge
for my flux cap
a city or
the future 
won't fix itself
Wonder if the thing
before time
is still 
there
smile
as the frogs
seem to hold hands
In death one half
of true love
will never change...

The bride-to-be set the time and the date.
Now she is a whole hour and one half late
The wedding guests are curious.
The bride’s father is furious.
The wedding is now on overtime rate.

There once was a small young man from Flagstaff

Whose girl said he was too short by one half.

He devised plan giving others great laugh

For with big grin

His stilts did win

The hand of this beautiful blond distaff...

Rondelet: Cliff hangers

In the name of 
Our party let other half cry
In the name of
Our safety sever one half off
For mere two per cents let's all die
The chosen people never lie
In the name of

On an autumn day a pig
Digging hardly in the ground,
Suddenly  found a big fig
Weighting about one half pound.

"What a lucky pig I am "
The fat pig said in his mind,
"Of course, I will make it jam
And share it, because I''m kind."...

My past is inevitable
As a good friend

My past is my shadow, 
My tail
My home, 
My land, 
My moon, 
My ocean
My river
My clean water, 
My character, and 
My dream.

My past is two halves: 
One half is me, 
The other half is Eileen....

After a bath, i feel clean.
but there remains other unwashable things.
Spots and stains by many kinds of sin.
After a bath and a prayer,
inside and out, It is like being ,
one half clean and the other half 
marred and soiled by sin!

Once my dog humped the rug (yes, a shag!)
A new species was born. I could gag!
It is half carpet but
It is one half a mutt.
Shaggy rug dog has tails that can wag!


Happy April Fools Day, Everyone!!!

watching a sunset
on the beach at the ocean
touching the skyline

one quarter, one half
bright, blazing red-orange clouds
our star slowly sinks

I am observing
mighty Mother Earth spinning
my mind blows gently...

The chimera of 
yours, the only unextinct 
creature in your bleak

bestiary; that's 
what I really am:
formed from one-half love 

and one-half throe by
you. But I recognized my
borders by learning 

your limits for I
wish to forge my own path out
from your false mythology....

My love's always with you  
One half of a heart  
When they are together 
My mind's blown apart  
  
Our love is as certain  
As night is to dark  
As clear as Romeo's
Ear for the lark
  
I'll be with you always  
And always will be here
I'm one half of you  
With hearts halved to share...

And I drew a dotted line
Down my heart in graphite
One half for me
The other for the stars at night
And every drop in the sea
Because I couldn't give it to a person
(They always leave)
So if I gave it to the world
All the stormy clouds in the sky
My love would never wither 
My love would never die...

I've picked the scabs until they bleed,
And then wonder why they never heal
Is it just a compulsive need
For pain to be what I mostly feel?

A Masochist- Antagonist!
Perfect Punch-drunk Pragmatist!
The Hypnotist who slits his wrists-
And I shall suffer in the midst

The Agony cuts one half of me
(I'll bear the brunt of all of this...)...

On this day mine Morning Prayer
While I was in my prayer closet
There was a bird outside before dawn light
Outside my house talking/singing to God
The whole duration of my praying over one and one half-hour
Tweeting and chirping beautiful
His bird was singing

A sailboat floats without a sail.
It’s like a shovel minus pail
Or else a hammer sans a nail,
One half of what is needed.

A tennis court without a net,
An error made with no regret;
A workout lacking any sweat,
A rye bread that’s unseeded.

A birthday passing with no cake,
A pile of leaves without a rake.
In every case, a true mistake
If no one interceded....

I watched a sunset
on the beach at the ocean
The sun touched the horizon
one quarter, one half
Bright, blazing red-orange clouds
Almost down; the sky now pink

Then it dawned on me
I was really observing
our mighty planet spinning
My mind blew gently
in the eternal present
the day I saw the earth move

*The rotation speed of the earth is 1038 mph at the equator...

A bird has landed 
On my porch.
Say it a thousand times,
You may be one- half step 
Closer to the Miracle.
We look for pain 
And find it
We look for joy 
And find it
We learn 
We can find anything
If we open our eyes
Love looks for you now
It will find you because 
Like trees in a forest
Flowers in a field
we all stand together, 
Alone.
 
Waiting to be found....

One-half of me seems right
    the other half feels wrong
  The next half is unsure
    the fourth just sings a song

  We live in troubled times
    the world is upside down
  It happens when both poles
    trade their smiles for two frowns

  You may think that I am dreaming 
    but I've seen these words before
  I recall that they were written  
    by the world's first troubador...

I believe there are no happy endings
Just the honeymoon of happy beginnings

Ultimately we end up losing
While they collect our hard fought winnings

Eventually everything ends and everything dies
Sadness then spreads with following cries

Is true love real when it’s destined die
When one half grows apart spouting devious lies

I believe there are no happy endings
Just the honeymoon of happy beginnings...
