I lift you to my lips taking a simple sip, 
I pour you from the bottle I’ve enclosed you within, 
Without fail,
Another day,
Another dri...

Loving is a Drug

...I’m on a nasty drug
Disguised as kindly beauty
You’d never find my dealer;
I’m the one who sells it to me

Yes, I’m the dealer of my love
Spilled those pills straight down my heart
I never fee...

MY TOOTH

   Crunch, crunch say my teeth as they devour,
That freshly baked warm crusty cob made from flour
   Oh bother say I, that does not feel right,
As my tongue explores the cause of my plight

just an ordinary primate from the human zoo,
who while ambling along

...I am feeling fraught,
And, stupid too,
I don't know what to do.
I need to open a screw-top bottle,
Which I am about to throttle.

Bottle tops and lids on things
Also, those with tin pull rings...

...Romance for me went full throttle
with the appearance of a handsome gent
when I was on the verge of womanhood.
Nothing on earth could match the shine
of romance when it is at its finest.

Premium MemberSo Screwed

...It is so much easier 
                                      to screw
                                          something up
                               than it is to unscrew it

Ketchup came in a glass bottle
with a small cap that you unscrew.

I had four birdfeeders, but white tail deer slammed into them
Until they broke into bits, for they were plastic and did not survive

to keep them from taking apart my bird feeders.

With xylophonic fingers they lift the lids and unscrew until the feeders ...

His Meaningless Life

Statements are the treats
To the spoken,
But to the intended;
They still might ill-treat.

The Dreamer still dreams-day dreams
To find his passion
In his day,
But realizes at  ...

And appeal to simple

Align my self with heavenly points of light
To cleanse my words of wrong intention 
Unscrew meaning, untwist perception
Incite delight
