No, I forthwith forgiven you as I held the door open to my heart you ripped up
My arms and hands released you from the embracement
For thou I have so forgiven you for what I’ve done and we do
In the truth of the matters we are both sadden by the view
Of the empty room one entering another moves I run forthwith unto you
I applies all is forgiven come here my dear lets reside
you've been forgiven and excused

A hope that I’m now clinging to…
when it comes to individuals, state or nations….
is that:
Sometimes the most difficult roads
can lead to the most beautiful destinations
For me…when times are rough…I think back to Fairy Tales….
How evil wins its share of battles…but in the end…how good prevails.
Whenever I fight evil…sometimes I lose…sometimes I win…
and oftentimes I’m in need of mending….
but I truly believe for every Once Upon a Time
there should be a happy ending.
I also know life in not always a Fairy Tale…
filled with joy and love…and laughter…
I know there is pain and suffering and heartache in our world
and that everyone does not life Happily Ever After.
But…having been influenced by Fairy Tales all my life…
my mission is a simple one:
To enter into the fairy tale of everyone I meet…
so when their story’s done…
I may not have been able to come to their rescue
riding a white horse…like a knight…
but their lives will end a little happier…
because of the pages I helped write.
May we be blessed to understand and enjoy the diversity of art
whether in a museum
or on a nature walk….
from the artists who work on the canvases of today
to the artists whose canvases were rocks.
"As furry as sheep’s clothing;
It’s thick, fluffy, and profuse.
As timid as a white woolly.
I think it all fits you.
The greener the pasture,
The greener the opportunities await.
But friends don’t compete for one blade of grass,
For meadows are as vast as fates.
As evergreen as mountains,
Beautiful friendships grow eternal.
But there are leaves that shed too fast.
This, we have, seems ephemeral.
Picket fences are built for comfort,
They stand still and sturdy like your intentions.
But soon, they'll collapse,
There’ll be no room for circumventions.
MY HEART WITHOUT YOU .......
YOUR LONG HAIR STILL LINGERS UPON MY COLD FACE
TOUCHING MY FINGERS SKIN AND SOULS
CANNOT FORGET YOUR OPEN HAIR ON MY MIRRORS FRONT
FORMING THE MOST STUNNING PORTRAIT
THE ODOUR OF ATTIRE ON MY ROOM
ROAMS IN STILL AIR OF MY ROOM
TELLING ME TO CALL YOU AGAIN
TELLING ME TO MEET YOU AGAIN
COME BACK LIKE THE OLD FRIEND WHO HAS FORGOTTEN ME
TAKEN ALL THE SWEET MEMORIES OF OLDER TIMES
MEET ME PRIAVTE AGAIN TO REVIVE OUR LOVE
MEET ME IN MY SOUL IN MY DREME
MY ROOM IS EMPTY NOW NOR MY SOUL EXISTS WITHOUT YOU
FORGET THE PAST NOW COME BACK NOW
LET THE VOID BE FILLED WITH HAPPINESS AGAIN
LET THE BIRDS TO SING SONGS OF OUR LOVE AGAIN
TAKE ME AGAIN NOW
COME BACK NOW
TAKE ME AGAIN IN YOUR ARMS NOW
COME BACK NOW
COME BACK NOW
COME BACK NOW
If we believe life is a circle
where the end of one journey
is the beginning of the next
Today I’m thankful for donuts
because…
Nothing epitomizes that belief
more than a donut does
Today I’m thankful for the sea…
When you first experience it…
no matter where you are..or when…
once you’ve looked out on the ocean
and been mesmerized by her tides
you’ll never be the same again
Darling I forgive you yet I must part, so my love I am sorely displeased
Even in my forgiveness you have tarnished and dulled mine heart
I forgive yet still I must part, in your untruth displeasure you’ve called me out
Even in my forgiveness you are a lair a cheating doth
But to core values and heart of the matter
My heart matters in this I’m leaving you
For your unfaithful and lawlessness has finally stalled me out,
Darling I forgive you yet I must part

"FORGIVENESS"
"Implied?" ... "Theorized!"
"Her fate has already been decided ..."
"... and what of me ...?"
"Your fate will be defined."
The House of Bernadotte.
Oh my, what have you got?
It's been more than a year,
Swede reporter made clear,
adultery in the land of Moose,
high up the ladder may vamoose.
Yet after all, he's just a commoner,
until he married, King Gustav's daughter,
the heir apparent to Sweden's throne,
wedded tryst to the roamer of Stockholm
poor Crown Princess Victoria speaks true
Princess Estelle, Prince Oscar, & grandpapa too,
The alleged, Prince Daniel, publically denies it, soon all forgotten!
Regal, Crown Princess Victoria, "Reconcile, House of Bernadotte."
Today I’m thankful for simplicity….
for how often do we discover
in love
in life
in everything we do…
as each day goes by…
how much happier we are…
when we learn to simplify.
May we be blessed to acknowledge all the wonders in our life
that have, for us, thus far accrued…
and to begin each day with a word of thanks…
and thoughts of gratitude.
Today I’m thankful for the falling leaves of Autumn
a feast…a celebration for our eyes…
the only time throughout the year…
I see rainbows tumble from the sky
thee hour of the mind the hour the soul
masters the hearts need for growth
bestowed between the cunny desires
where the muses dance the sun shadows
the moon creating a warm sensual glow
sending out hints of knowledge designed
so perfectly solely for allowing the mind
to soar throughout the universe abruptly
alerting the stars to ignite illuminating
signals relaxing all melancholy findings
beholding masterpieces gathering truth
throughout the galaxy giving birth to a
brilliant orchestra performing between
the finite hours connecting night and day
dawn sings a mental ballad of pleasure
captivating the mind soul and heart together
harmonically cultivating this brilliant symphony
dazzling thoughts within thee untimely hour
I TRULY LOVE YOU BEYOND MY BREATH BEYOND YOURSELF
I so care for you; I truly love you
You care not what you do to you
How can I care for you
When you won’t care for you
Apathy got you though you care about nothing false nor truth true
Self-destructions your horizon dew
Raining down self-hate you doubt you love your self
I so care for you; I truly love you beyond my breath
