Dear Barbara.
Before Fed Ex or UPS delivered rapidly,
There was USPS with Special Delivery.
Before them all, God delivered freely.
There are two treasured gifts most heavenly.
God blessed me with a wife and a family.
There's no one else with whom I'd rather be
Than the one that God clearly gave to me.
All that came before you
Lit a flame that quickly vanished from view.
For 54 years, there's been 'Just Us'.
It will be this way until one of us bites the dust.
Steeped deep within my memory,
I'll always remember the start of our story.
In a college town,
In a church pew,
You turned both my head and heart around.
From that moment on, everything became new.
In very short order,
I knew you were a gift from my heavenly Father.
When tomorrow comes,
let not fear be your friend.
Take every step forward
where the road never ends.
Leave all of yesterday's pain
at a place beyond the dust.
Put your faith in God,
because He knows you suffered enough.
Even when you think you're hurt
and can't go on,
reach deep within your heart
for the strength to be strong.
Because your family will be the light
that will help carry you through,
somewhere deep in your heart,
you know our love is true.
Remember, we'll stand behind you
and always have your back.
Even when your faith is damaged,
we will guide you back on track.
So continue to keep your head up;
don't let the weight hold you down.
In the end, you're going to be okay,
because the strength you thought was lost
has now just been found.
Set sail journey
A getaway like no other
Pulling away from the pier
Nothing but poetry to preserver
Connecting to other Poets
Embracing among the ship passengers
Hearing various Poet works
The Mic being the perk
Ocean breezes that unlock the mind and words
Feeling of assurance interacting the audience
Shore to shore
Island to Island
Spoken words sail
Readings upon readings for passengers to heard
Sharing poetry devotion and creation
Maneuvering through the waves
Acquainting Alph accelerating words
Poet heard to audience listen
Thought after thought
Theory instant
Communicating with other Poets like a family
Cruise ship stops along with the way with the island natives
Poet getaway
Enroute horizon
Big bang
Poetry explosion
Cruising relaxed on the ocean.
I remember as I child
eyeing the Christmas
tree, all lit and broadcasting.
Early-on I realized that Father
was Santa. Mother sensed it
when they married. Father, let go of his
well defined ego, embraced the principal
to secure the family, protect and
serve selflessly onto death.
Never say never, always say "perhaps;" unless it's a
Wedding, a funeral, or your daughter's v-ball game.
Never say never, instead say "maybe."
Never feel forced to use rhyme, tired is the fad despite the ear's need
To smile at the sound of music; rhymes are for the dullard,
Like Dr. Seuss and Mother Hubbard.
Never say never to your kids lest your aim is to model
Human folly & the grace-skill of Forgiveness.
This will all be over soon so please don't cry.
Y'know this whole poem goes way better with chicken stir-fry.

Release the criminal
Even the convicted
So they can offend again.
Teach the child
To doubt everything
Their parents and cultural roots.
Instill the fear
Of a terrorist attack,
Mass shooting or climate change.
Encourage riots, street violence
Race and ethnic and religious conflict
So that there is no trust of others.
Destroy the family unit
Without civility and decency
In absence of the sacred.
Bring on the chaos
In the name of hope and change
‘Till it all falls down.

Over-Dramatic.
Over-Comedic.
Over&Under---Simplified.
Little Tigger Growl...
GRrrr.
Noisy Drama.
Read It's Intents.
Its Intensity...
It WAS
Made 'How You
WISH.
Wee Wishy-Washy...
Nahhhhhh.
*I Lost You In The Flood.*
You Were My Family... My Lust... My Unconditional Grace.
How Long Can Hereafter Wait?
ALLLLL OF THE PAST.

The Gift of Love
Growing up, love was such a foreign language to me
I have never seen it present ever in the house
My parents have never loved each other, I believe
They only got married because of the accident of me
They were legally obligated to take care of me
And they weren't exactly joyful about doing that job
My parents have never given me anything in my life besides a curse:
The ability to never know what love is or how it feels
School was an estranged experience for me with this irritating curse
I made some friends, thankfully, but still, it lacked what I needed
I care for them as much as I do my family
Which will always be none, I suppose
But I have learned to be ok with this as the years passed
Who needs to know how it feels anyway?
The Visitor
He pushed at the open door
no sound
just darkness inside.
Dust filtered his
nostrils,
a mustiness of lost years
inhabited his senses.
A loose floorboard
creaked in the stairwell,
the aroma
of her Chanel provoked memories
of his
living hell.
A tear of self-pity congealed
in the dirt at his feet
He switched on the light
"Hello son
I knew you'd be back;
He's gone..."
There is a poison that has ravaged man
ever since creation
This poison deceived Adam and Eve
The poison pushed Caleb to murder
his brother
This poison was traced in the family of
Israel
I believe you know the story
This same poison pushed Haman to plan
The mass execution of Jews in the days of
Queen Esther and Mordecai
Now coming to recent times
Hitler and his henchmen planned the
extermination
of Jews during the second World War.
This poison is deadlier than that of the
Adder and the Cobra
The poisonous ivy is hate, now check
yourself if you do not have it reserved
There is an antidote for every poison
The antidote for hate is love.
I miss you so much
but you are not in
the fore front of my
mind like you were
when you first
said goodbye, why?
I had to learn to go
on without you!
I had to learn to live in
world that we no longer
occupied together.
Although I don’t cry
every day like I did
when you first left,
I’ll hear a song or recall
a memory and the
tears begin to fall.
I could never forget you!
You’re part of me,
imprinted on my
heart and soul.
Although grief wears
a different face as time
goes by , just know
I live for us both!
I don’t want to win
My dad says I run fast
I don’t know
what that means
in the scheme
of things
If fast could hold a family,
a sandwich, a meaning
together truer
than melting cartoons,
then I promise
I’ll believe in love again
See you tomorrow
Have a good night
Terms of endearment
Say it in a moment of tenderness
Mean a lot to people
Don’t forget to say it
And say it often
How is your day?
What’s up with ya?
What’ve you been up to?
How should I say it?
There are many ways to say it
To reach someone to make a contact
Have we forgotten it already?
Where have you been?
Haven’t seen you lately
I wondered when I get to see you again
That’s a lot of days when I last saw you
What’s happening?
How is your family?
Things are good?
Talk to me
When did I last see you?
You miss me?
Say it play it whisper it
And it would be like brand new
A new contact
Just like you never left
Reconnected
Strengthened
Breathe life into
“Dry bones” - Ezekiel 37
See you tomorrow?
What a hymn,
you leave me,
as warmth
becomes the chills,
You leave me,
All of this was to die,
standardized,
a yellow flame
searing red
becomes blue.
Cold-ish ash,
fingers turn brittle,
crumbling to
blood- soaked
smokey cash.
Our fingers
corrupted
through
the
exchange of
history,
paper,
coins,
built on violence.
I fought
dragons
for treasures,
I did my best
to
tip toe
to the other side
of rainbows,
truth is,
the journey
is wealth
folded Cards,
scattered dice,
fingers pointed...
Alas,
the beauty of
grace,
the divine thoughts of
silk and lace,
bleeden
if inter-weavened,
bloody grips
who seeks the price....
Family,
scolded,
how the cold
inflicts sores
through
entirety
of winter.
