Premium MemberEveryone Needs Someone Sometime

Taunted by luxury, a life of ease.
I struggled to utter the words, “sir, please”?
I’d become distraught by my circumstance.
I saw no way alone; I could advance.

I knew the time in my life had now come,
To lose my ego, ask help from someone.
With all my money, I’d still have to ask,
Or accept my failure at this

Autobiography of John Sidney McCain III, Sometime Senator of Arizona

1. To Fly
My father was an admiral, and so
I joined the Navy. Back in fifty-eight
to be a pilot seemed the way to go:
ship-sailors were committed to a crate.
Scrub decks? Paint rusting gunwales? That’s a ‘no’.
The Skyhawk was my weapon (and my fate!)

2. Rubicon Crossing

Some nations follow rainbows, I am told:
we thought, in Vietnam, ‘search and

Premium MemberSee You Sometime

Your bedroom with a garden view
Includes a view to the field
Here we are, looking through
Leaning on the window sill
It’s calm, the early dusk hour
My favorite time has come
I sense the smell of every flower
I breathe the tune you hum
Down in the sitting room 
Comes Pippa to lick your face
She’s jealous, you say, and the fume
Of

Premium MemberSometime Ago

Sometimes I listen to my lofi on low.
Sometimes I listen to phonk on high.
Most of the time I bask in a moonlit glow.
Most of the time I bask in the midnight sky.

Some days I just wanna really die.
Some days I just want people to know.
Most days I actually just want to cry.
Most days I actually

Premium MemberWould You Meet Me Sometime

Would you meet me sometime
   At the space in between
The corner of reckless schism
   And the street of broken dreams?

I just covet a good word or two –
   So long as we break silence –
And I will collect an echo
   Then leave and recommence.

Sometime Hope

SOMETIME HOPE

Sometime in an epoch not too distant from here
Where seas are calmer and people care about each other
And not their pocketbooks or bank accounts
We will have peace 

Somewhere in time there may be absolution
but not if it is dreamt of by misanthropes 
who begin wars and make victims of us all
yet, even then, the

Premium MemberYou Have To Come Out Sometime

She was the envy of the other roaches, for her marvelous house.
They were jealous of her pink high heeled shoe, especially a louse.
He was angry because he could not slide into his own soft little bed.
She was thrilled he was jealous, for he was arrogant and not well-bred.

Can we visit? The lady bugs asked for

Premium MemberSometime Such a Blinded Eye

Though we live in "high society"
You may not see real things in your blinded sobriety;
Subliminal messages are all around us
Out of the box thinkers are ones who found us.
Life should be all about morals an beloved things that are true; 
The blindfold around our minds grew and grew 
They make fake theory's claiming that they

Premium MemberSometime the Mind Wanders

I love to let my mind wander in the morning…while I walk the streets alone…
I never know where it will lead me…you might say my mind has a mind of its own.

Sometimes it leads to my friends, my children, my grandchildren…my wife.
other times it leads to God, love, war, hate or other mysteries of life.

Then

Premium MemberLife's Sometime Like a Clock On the Wall Not Moving At All

There’s a clock on the wall
And it’s not moving
The sun rains the clouds are moved
A non-moving clock doesn’t mean times standing still
Sweats running off my face I’m perspiring
Daylight turns dark, it’s it is now night
Waters toils rivers flow
Just because the clock on the wall
Stalls and the hands are not moving
I do be believing
Though! The hands

Believing

I believe in everything.

But then again, 

sometimes I cannot fathom

believing the beliefs, gets bewildering.

Someday Sometime 
David J Walker

If my dreams pretend 
to have seen you
in a then before we are us

then who was it I was looking for
unless I knew the
faceless you

when we were 
Much younger
Living apart as children do 

Every day in
The same city
And certainly we 
Crossed paths on a
Silent street 
seeing each other

Reminded of a someone

Premium MemberHappiness Nightmare Sometime-

Dawn tangerine dream;
Make shift altar;
Domineering sceams;

While yet afar off;
Antique lace racket space;
Dreams afar lost;
Leagues of amazing grace;

Happiness is...
Not always clear nor fair
Sometimes it's a nightmare
