If ye benevolent reader count yourself as a wise married man such as me...
(truer words never spoken nor written)
take my word and decline
and absolutely refuse to take masterly crafted bait

seeking to lure, catch
and unwittingly cannibalize
thee unfortunate soul
courtesy dangling eye catching
teasing offer vis a vis friend request.
Analogous to a virtual
faux conscientious fisherwoman,

Wayward Dear Heart Would You Love a Such As Me-
WAYWARD DEAR HEART WOULD YOU LOVE A SUCH AS ME-
1.>I can’t stand it;
Oh, that I love you so much;
Even though you don’t know it;
And yet in the basics of God we trust;
I can’t understand, why I won’t tell you;
That I wonder, love and adorn you so;
if my soul does trust God
If my spirit so does

Why Do I Attract Such As You
Why do I attract thee to me I cannot say.
Do I appear to need a friend or is it clear that you do?
Maybe it is that I believe in you and that you hope I do.
You must peer through my armor
knowing that there is a soft spot for someone like you.
Or you don't

Such As the Tree Is, Such Is the Fruit
Snaking through rocks, flowing on sand
The river sings charm and charity
Infesting the cosmos and the land
The ill-disposed breathe barbarity
Like an orchestra, man’s life may seem
Easy or hard, some keep the accord
For want of goodwill, ethos, or esteem
Playing virtue, some cannot afford
Yet faking and playing, others can fulfill
Masks of goodness they wear only to
Foist on you

Memories Such As These
Memories Such as These
As I look back on the years gone by
there are so many memories
that bring such joy to this heart of mine,
memories such as these;
A little boy with a teddy bear
that he carried with him everywhere,
and two little feet that skipped and ran,
oh I how I loved that little man.
Then three little girls

A Gift Such As Her
Without her-there's no
tellin' where I'd be
I'd be tossed by waves &
forever lost at sea
Self-destructive & barely
clinging to life
My spirits turned ugly
full of envy & strife
Not knowing direction or the
purpose of my course
The highway to hell- my
throttle full force
That light within me-gone-
with my heart

Friends Such As These
There are friends and there are friends, most are casual, but some are true.
Some are nice but when they can, they will take a little bit, out of you.
Maybe I always dreamed, of having a friend, I knew I could really trust.
One that had a knack, of making your day, when it was looking like

What to do about these dull days
When Nimbus clouds sail upon prevailing
Winds? Pains Grey skies weep
And their tears drip into gurgling gutters.
Shadowless days when life lingers, unsheltered,

God's Good Even To the Such As Us
GOD'S GOOD EVEN TO THE SUCH AS US

I will come and rejoice
Truly God is good
Even to such as one of us

Villanelle: If Only the World Were Such As To Be Just - 1
Villanelle: If only the World were such as to be just – 1
If only the World were such as to be just
Then all girls would be born all all beautiful
And men would be the lame laid sex without lust
If only the girls were all all free as dust
And men could pick and choose and ditch

Such As Somebody's Supper
One thing that's puzzled this old duffer
Immediately before the Big Bang was discovered
Was there a big bunch of zip
Or did everything fit
In one tiny atom such as somebody's supper

Never Met a Dream Come True Such As You
never met a dream come true such as you
once again God proved me wrong and proved that His Word is True
you showed me a different way to view this abstract world
you made me be still and look when all i did was trample, flip, fall, and twirl
the passion of your sincerity hit me in the

No Quiet Such As This
There is no quiet such as this,
At least none that I know;
Like moonlight on a downy drift,
So fell those flakes of snow.
In a deep dark wood it happened
As the flurries stirred the air--
And the quiet overwhelmed me
Leaving me a captive there.
Bound by such a peaceful sight
I wandered not a bit,
But tarried in that deep, dark

A Friend Such As Him
A Friend Such as Him
His Love and Friendship I do not doubt
Never have I once seen him distraught
Not his blood brother, not half related,
He grooms another with teeth serrated.
Grudges in his Heart, has he ever kept?
Spirit does not wane; his Eye never wept.
A serene Slave turning another cheek-
In a Dog a Heart of Patience do
