Stomping

       Stomping 
Stop,

No control, 
Vehicle lurches 
But I’m just a
Passenger on this
Road of life...

Three pigeons in flight
One morning so bright
The wine bottle swallowed its cork
A stein of root beer
Lead crystal is clear
He purchased a farm in New York....

Her aroma
Is like 
The fragrance 
Of a
Crimson glory - 
Sweet Damask
A Heady Scent
Her body
Opens 
Like it’s 
Deep, velvety red
Petals
Blooming 
For him, 
And only him…...

  No one ever asked him out to dine,
 Dracula said, " You can come with me,
I know where some good neck might be,"

     Scaring little kids in their bed,
Setting off metal detectors with his head,
     He just might need a redesign....

Take a seat
Any seat
Twiddle your thumbs
And
Don’t wait on me
My life
Is full,
Not revolving around you
Are you surprised?
Shouldn’t be, because
I live my life
Not waiting 
On you...

Meet me 
Under my umbrella,  
A protection 
Against the coldness
Of the #rain
But not,
Against you who
Hold my heart
Your palm, full
As my organ 
Is cradled, 
Cared for,
And held dearly...

thinking like Stein but
drinking beer from a stein
remembering German days
not Paris

contradicting and refuting 
Gertrude's flowery words 
for

my Musa...

Wine
is fine
when I dine.
Some in the stein
can be very fine.
It is time to resign
when I can’t walk a straight line.
It comes from the Rhone or the Rhine.
The California stuff is most fine.

He said what he had to say
to tell the story
He did what he had to do
to rescue time
He paid what he had to pay
to bribe the jailers
He gave what he had to give

To soothe the soul
To vent
A release
An escape
To share my words
To create stories
Learning myself
And the characters I build
I write because
Its who I am
A writer
A worldbuilder
A character creator
An author...

hidden
and kept 
from others
like skeletons 
inside of 
a closet
a conundrum 
tears down 
relationships
burden on minds
emotional pain
stress and anxiety 
physical consequences
trust 
and honestly
relieves you of 
the deepest, darkest of
SECRETS...

Here's a man who is so kind ;
So straight he walks a straight line;
From his first job he has his first dollar his first dime ;
And a gold watch to tell time;
The life and times, of Kevin Stein;

A Man Called Piano Miceal---

There once was a man who liked writing.
He said, "See the lovely siting!"
It was rather fine,
But not very Stein,
And he couldn't resist the inciting

   Hamas and Jill Stein
   perpetrate great crimes
     co-promote genocide, these two
     against all Christians and Jews...

     to let herself by Jew-hating terrorists be used
