So it happens
So it goes
Walking down
All these 
Different roads...

Wind howls.
Gulls cry.

Tides turn.
Seas sigh.

The moon pulls.
Light tricks.

You go.
The clock ticks....

So it comes
So it goes
Holding on that’s
That’s the real trick
And not losing
Yourself in the mix
But carrying on
A poem a song...

wishes keep us dreaming
dreaming keeps us hoping
hoping keeps us living..
living keeps us dreaming

    and so it goes...

He'll store your loot
he'll bank your money
hoard it
so when he goes
so it goes
so the story goes
15 by 7
under buss wheel's
the family goes
it wouldn't matter
a scary will when he goes
to the next Mein Kamph your money goes...

So it goes 
I once read
One day you live
The next your dead
Tomorrow comes
Today is gone
Night time parts
More evils spawn
I see you there
You wicked lie
It is not now
That you will die
But soon in time
Will be the day
That You Will part
And go away...

Read More

And so it goes 
Why are we here
You can't walk away free and clear
So sad of a day this price we pay
So many hurts have come from this
To think it began with something so beautiful as a Kiss
 God will decide come what may
An get us through this very tough day...

Annother place, annother time
Annother ode to you in rhyme 
Annother word, annother line
Annother poem from the mine
Annd so it goes, the things sublime 
About you, things that are so fine 
About you, things that come to mind 
About you, flow from my pen in grand design...

       ‘Hold on’
         ‘To what?’
       ‘Your horses’
         ‘What horses?’ 

       ‘Don’t get technical’
          ‘Who’s getting technical?’
       ‘You are, friend’
          ‘Who you calling friend?’

       ‘Can I ask YOU a question?’
          ‘You just did…’

Kingness 
    gives birth 
        to thankfulness ~

Thankfulness is
    the filling for the empty places
        pain leaves when 
            we finally 
               let it go!

Thankfulness 
    that grows 
        ~ overflows ~

    into kindness to others. 
        (and so it goes...)...

And so it goes
from cradle to grave
From baby’s wail
to funeral laid

We reason, ponder,
dissent, and cry
As time repeats
and years go by

Sages offer
their grand excuse
In what’s left wanting
to feed the muse

But one thing’s certain
to never change
Death recycles
— the same old game

(The New Room: May, 2024)

Joseph Stalin had webbed toes
On his left foot or so it goes
He was embarrassed by this so bad
When a doctor examined him, he was sad
Covering his whole body with a blanket
So he wouldn’t have to face the fact of it
In those days it was a sign of the devil
This fact seemed a self-fulfilling prophecy ill.

Too many rules,
Too many regulations,
Too much loss 
Of self worth,
Pushing us into
Personal vendettas.

You said this, 
No I said that. 
You talking
To me?
If the shoe fits..
You're no Cinderella.
Well, you're no
Prince Charming!

Let bygones
Be bygones,
Agree to disagree.
No way!
No way!
And so it goes on
With no happy endings.

Now is always now.
that now is now gone;
here comes a new now
(and so it goes.)

My Italian Aunt
once told me:
'"Allen, whatever you do,
don't grow old."

She was in her eighties then;
bad back, eyes gone dim,
kidneys in serious lack.

Like a withered tree
she shriveled up
and blew away.

I took her words to wisdom
always knowing that
it can't be done....

one more small entry to get started
have a wonderful night
thank you

"unexplainable"

why does life halt when I see you
why have you chased me so
and why have our hearts begun to beat

you stand with me
I walk with you
and so it goes

the sight of you hypnotizes me
the pursuit of us ignites you
and love is unexplainable

She just went out for a snack.

With those giat black wings upon her back.

Her victums screams 

while she sings.

Her song of refuge and pride, to bad they couldnt listen to all of the song.

It's also to bad they died.

The mighty beast 

devouers her feast. 

And so it goes the life story,

Of the mighty crow who put on a silent show surely written with glory....

So it goes, this lover’s fate
Now left alone to contemplate
How begot this moment, dark
No longer to rekindle spark

Where once a love he surely knew
Days of sunshine come to view
Happy times and smiles wide
But darkness came, now light’s inside

So, left to ponder this for now
He sits and wonders, oh, just how
He lost his one, his true soul mate
To be alone, tormenting fate...

We move through the hollows of everyday life,
Shaking and quaking and searching for spice.

Round and round a day we make,
To some we give, others we take.

Mouldering, soldiering, passing ways,
Folded pieces hidden for remembered days.

Solid state and filled with cracks,
All full things have a point which lacks.

Truth is a truth, a lie is a lie,
So it goes 'til the day you die....

And so it goes
Life moves on.....
The shadows dissipate into the cool air.....
How they struggled to steal my Breath.....
The Power of Love has replaced their presence......
With Grace this Heart Shines.....
This Journey into the Heavens....
I could Not have made Alone....
Many have held me Dear....
Consoled my Tear....
Their Gentle Care..Is Now Mine to Share...
And So It Goes............

A time ago,
After it snowed,
My friend forebode,
A certain road,
The shortest way to go.

Yet I was slowed,
So on this night,
The moon was bright,
I took a right,
And went on down the road.

And to my sight,
I could defend,
Against my friend,
But would depend,
On if the end was bright.

But at the bend,
I saw it close,
And so it goes,
The road I chose,
Was dead upon the end....

Bits and bites, that’s how it goes,
I make the steps, the rest to follow
I make them right, and so it goes,
I make them crooked, and dark it goes,
The wrath of a lead, then will follow,

Bits and bites, they got to be right,
To get to the light, of each step taken,
And what’s born, of those that follow,
It’s the curse of a lead, it got to be right,
It got to be right, and so it should go...

Yes, I like the sweet air
But I cannot embrace
Irresistible is the face
I am led into the prayer

Stories galore at the door
I would like to read all
But then there is the wall
Many mores and more

While into the prayer
Comes the strange view
God turns into you
And sweetens the air


And so it goes on
In my happy meditation 
As I reach the station
In a  blue intoxication
