But retort

Fiery sand of a hot sun 



                    Cool
                   Smoky
               Ruckus minds,
                Sedate torrid
                   Sands.

Life is a joke, of course. 
But everyone will pretend
it is serious.

It is ... serious ... ly hilarious.
Smile at your own humor
even when few will laugh -

For if life is a joke
To laugh is to live.

A Galactic Prose of Words 

Galactic is my sum of life
Voluminous treks without the strife
Didactic how my teacher taught
To use the words that I have sought
In proper syntax to speak right
Continue on the Milky way
a Galaxy of words to say

                               form vast endless

I am in my recliner grasp book in hand-
I live to read my eyes jauntily bound blinks opens shuts.
My thought are on verse.
But what comes first.
A yawn from my inners to my throat.
Witnessing now attempts to yawn, sleep in chair look,  I drop my book...

Galactic fantastic how I cry
Whilst I criss cross the diamonds in the sky
I tend to paint it ghostly white 
Flying the non fly zone 
With fuel or fight 
A mission to another universe's earth
Another galactic fantastic birth
Would you inexplicably go 
Or stay on this planet all alone!

Love,
why is
the wind sad
on my path to
you?

Red
roses
I carry
as my tears drip
blood.

Lost-
alone
in this world
now, that you are
gone.

Sweet,
I wrap
memories
deep inside my
heart.

whisper of lilac in the summer’s day
variety of flowery fragrances wafting
streaming sunbeams warming gray striped tabby
mums and petunias decorating wrap-around porch
wasps and bees collecting butterflies and faeries
country magic adorned with marigolds, tomatoes, and roses

WHEN I LOOK AT MY PAST

I see a stranger looking back at me
As if haunted by bad decisions
Children in the playground
Spinning furiously on the merry-go-round
Old ladies with stern looks
Faces like Cabbage Patch dolls
Where have I been all those lost years
Wandering aimlessly in a sea of alcohol

In the stark semi-private
Shared by rotating hip replacements
Her bed was along the far wall
Boasting a south facing window
With a view of a fallowed field
And the phases of the moon whose light
Set the specks of windshield
Embedded in the helmet
On her bedside table
To sparkle like diamonds

In another time I would’ve picked orange lily and carnation
Sprinkled in some white daisy for a resplendent bouquet 
Some fresh bagels from your favorite bakery by the station
With those,smiling,I would’ve knocked your door on your b'day
Instead,clichéd notes of wishes, I post on social media today
