jealousy and pettiness
gossiping and blaming
incohesive with a satisfied life
shallowness, sneakiness and lying
anger and meanness
square corners that do not fit into a world of joy
live your truths
honor your dreams
be your best self
let God take care of the others
My squirrel is
sneaking up the bark
of the mulberry tree,
trying to remain
hidden as he
steals giant
paw fulls of
bird seed out
of my red bird feeder.
I smile at his smartness.
And his sneakiness at
not being seen.
Lover: gives you, Ring-Pop,
and asks for your hand in
holy matrimony.
Heartbreaker, gave you,
sneakiness snickers'
and lies,Through their
teeth.
Lover: gives you, house on
5th avenue as A we'd ding,
Gift.
Heartbreaker: gave you, A
10,000 grand Debt.
Lover: gives you,
A Baby Ruth,
To start your Family
Tree.
Heartbreaker: gave you,
countless, sour lemon-heads,
That poured out in endless,
tears.
Lover: gives you,
A pay day,
Shopping spree,
just because.
Heartbreaker: gave you,a
Whatchamacallit head-
Ache in return, for the
Jaw-breaker.
Lover: gives you, a
Nutrageous/Nut-roll,
On good behavior.
