Every time I've said I Love You
It just doesn't last...
why I try to forgive too,
always, put our troubles past
When will I learn you will be you,
you didn't think, I didn't think so
for what you put me through
now where should I go...
I am getting colder - Colder...
here without you
I'm tired too, shrug a shoulder
Now what should I do...
tell me my mind isn't clear
I wouldn't want to lose you
bring me through this dear
I need a reason to be true,
mine me pleasing you there
why not, I try to forgive too
It just doesn't last my dear
Every time I've said I Love You

It's Been 4 yrs Mike,what can I say,
I've Missed you so much everyday.
I was just 17 when I became your bride,
From then you Were always by my side.
Everything we did,we did together,
You saw me Through the Stormy weather.
We made a home filled with love,
Raised the children sent from heaven above.
But our time together never came,
Because an Angel Called your name.
I know you were tired of the fight,
It took It's toll both day and night.
But we fought it together for 16 years,
Through the good times and the tears.
You always smiled,you were Never Sad,
You took the good times with the bad.
I know you're still here with me,
What I would give if I could see,
Your smiling face and loving eyes,
Your tender touch when you said goodbye.
To hold you just one time more,
To see you walk in through the door.
I love you Darling with all my heart,
And even though we are apart,
My love for you will never die,
I'll say Hello and not Goodbye.
One day we'll be together again,
Then sunny skies will block out The rain.

Her birthday.
She awoke before her husband, who was the early riser
she was 80 yrs. old it was her birthday and preparing
a great lunch of filet steak with baked potatoes and salat
A lot of food, her husband said, yes, she lied, I have made
food for several days, and can’t cook every day.
She carried the phone in her apron pocket, but it didn’t ring.
After a long delay, she decided it was time for luncheon
Lovely food; she had even opened up a bottle of wine.
No, she wasn’t hungry; her husband knew why and waited,
she cried.
No one had remembered her birthday; he knew why but
cleared the table, cleaned the dishes and packed the food
away for another day
He couldn’t tell her when one gets to be eighty, the living
relatives are so much younger, the distance between the
aged and the younger people is like a vast ocean of years
it is easy to forget.
When he was 84, no one rang, he didn’t expect any calls
but for him, being cynical about this matter, he didn’t care
about this, but he felt deeply sorry for his wife.

Note:
The poem was inspired by my most unforgettable and most treasured childhood memory with my playmates. I was 7 to 8 years old that time. My playmates and neighbors were Sis Gem (10 yrs old; role: mom), Bro. Edgar (9yrs. old; role: father), Blessie (6 yrs old;role: child ) and my younger bro. Jess (6yrs old; role: child). My role was one of the siblings. My dad was our watcher. This moment was so precious having him watching my safety. Sometimes, he helped us find some materials for building our playhouse. The materials were coconut leaves, coco-midribs, large and small, coconut husks, coconut shells etc.

Calling In Favors
Written: by Miracle Man
New Years Eve 2021
Do you recall the first person in life
who gave you a chance?
After you had jumped through hoops,
for a song and dance.
At eighteen I searched for a job,
two years experience everyone wanted.
Question was, which comes first,
I was made to feel daunted.
I was 18 and in a new place (San Diego California)
and a new acquaintance ask if I’d found a job, and where I’d looked.
He told me to go to Rohr Aircraft and I told him I’d already been there and they required 2 yrs recent experience. Being young, I wondered how do I get this experience without first having a job. He wrote a note on a piece of paper and sent me back to see this person. I did, and was immediately hired. This man’s name on a piece of paper was all it took. I worked there for 5 years (was a great employee) before returning to my roots. Though this man is gone now, I often think of him and his giving me my first chance. I’ve always wondered what the note said and if he was
“calling in favors.”

by putting on clips of running giraffes
once called him an inside out fart
hes a jug (a jack russell pug mix)
i'm sure the outside of his eyes could see each other
in 3 yrs i have taught him to ignore
everyone
usual sore after nightly game
of fit myself round the dog Tetris
Awaking to lapping
at the back of my head
personally i think
hes checking to see
if i'm dead

41 yrs have past since I last saw your face
why is our family so out of place
if only you knew I was not like the rest
you and I would have been connected more than the others
I wish I had you as a partner throughout the years
maybe my life would have felt like a breeze
I miss you every day, and I pray one day
we will finally get to say G'day
I have spent years searching for you
but the siblings I was left with couldn't stay away
as your father and I were connecting
their need to be the center of everything, pushed him to disconnect
so I do wish you were the one I was left with
but, I do think how lucky you were to have left
they are a selfish lot, and can't see beyond themselves
I am glad you had a better life than if you were here
but every now and then, I wish it was me
so I shall still dream that one day, you and I will find each other
but, till then I am on my own
for this family couldn't give a toss about me
I will no longer go out of my way to see them either
Ricky Trevor Treloar, you were blessed the day she walked out that door

Stroke Deliverance
When discombobulated, Hit the Restart Button,
Restart...Happened 6 July 2011,
Now the 7th Milestone,
Dr. Cooper rescued my life before we were to Daven,
Unconscious 5 hours, 105* F., was able to say "I was Yidden",
Asked "Did I recognize anyone?",
"Yes, Barbara! My wife Lovin'!",
"Teshukos", God has No needs but Desires to Overflow for Man,
As does Barbara! Who spent Day & Night at Mt. Pleasant,
Who'd have expected? An Earthquake! What's It All Portend?,

This is my true story:
I am a dream
I flow from the depths of Bliss.
Creating schemes and systems without cognition,
cell by cell, I became a numinous zygote,
I'm wonderfully made!
I came through a body, a body.
Then, began the inoculations,
profane verses
dangling from those gifted with mind,
insisting that I was fascinated by them,
but,
they weren't mine,
these hands, my hands.
16 yrs ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 3rd stage. I did a lot of meditation, 3 miles daily walks and wrote a few poems, this is one of them.

I went walking and I wondered.
If her heart like mine had thundered.
As I got near she couldn't speak.
And as I stood my knees got weak.
Every day I hope and pray.
That she will come and want to stay.
And let me know she wants me too.
And take my heart and make it new.
It's hard to navigate sometimes.
To find your way with simple rhymes.
The words in pen begin to flow.
But when she's near, I just don't know.
Deep in my dreams the answer lies.
But when I wake the answer dies.
Another day wondering alone.
It seems that's all this heart has known.
I wait in trust and faith above.
That she will one day be my love.
And want to be here in my arms.
And soothe me with her gentle charms.
Note: This is about a girl I pined for for 35 yrs. Yeah, I know, what? :) But a year or so ago someone else came into my life and replaced that emptiness and pain in my heart. But now her and I are on the outs. So life goes on. :/ ?

Seven is a whole passel Max, not Mid,
But never shirk you did, never asked for a Bid,
Never also, we would not, you be Rid,
One O'Them, Rusty, the third floor Kid,
Lindsey was "Heart & Soul" 'til her digits did Skid,
The Rob, Brave Knave, yet 'neath a shore table Hid,
Kristie the Red "Incred" to Lee lovingly Slid,
Jen the Wren, Rambunctious Doer, her Rick Did,
Hilary, numbered John, even Lamp Lids,
Nori Pooh Bear gymnast, flipped Tom's Id,
Seven is a Duo, and How!, Plus a Quid,
All by Wooden Spoon marched, like navy Mids,
Your Caesars cut us 7 from rough Burlap
"Veni, Vici, Vids"
Written to demonstrate that post-stroke I could still write verse on Mother's Day
that was 7 yrs. ago

You would carry me at 10 years old,
Without doubt,
Even though I could walk.
You would feed me at 30 yrs old,
Without doubt,
Even though I can on my own.
You would clean me at 60 years old,
Without doubt,
Even though I ain't sick.
You would scold me at 90 years old,
without doubt,
Even though I ain't wrong.
Without doubt,
You would love me despite my mistakes.
Without doubt,
You would hold me when everyone lets go.
Without doubt,
You would again and again
Be the person no one else can be.

MYTHS
Good old times
Folded and elapsed in2 wind of times,
Never 2 come back again,
In our present time,
But still moves d clocks of time,
In our memories reading tides.
Embodied believe towards facts, phenomenon of experiences ,
In which often mysteries occurs, the facts of nature and of soul,
Personified and dignified,
Recorded billion yrs facts.
Treasured or untreasured,
Artefacts can never be wiped off,
Such papyrus manuscripts were genre,
Regarded to be trans-generational,
Bt some aspect of it,
Experienced effervescence like a gas,
Because it was untreasured,.
Made manifest by man's emotion,
Provoked to light by imagination,
Upholding a great deal of history,
Ancients wasn't left out in it.
As Zeus captured Aphrodite, Prometheus thought humans d art of making fire,
Poseidon moved d waters,
As Odyssey sails on it,
Medusa slaughtered by Perseus, messenger of d gods flies To warn Zeus of his actions,
Dat was at mountain Olympus,
The home of mythology.

About 9 months ago, a girl came to class with a black eye. I didn't ask any questions. I just cut my potatoes, made the soup, and kept it moving.
Six month mark, young cat stopped cutting his potatoes a little early. Skipped washing dishes and cleaning his area. Started leaving class 30 minutes early. This idiot moved the girl in. I didn't say anything. Cut my potatoes. Made my soup. And minded my business.
Today, she goes ham on ol boy. Using all kinds of unsavory ingredients to describe his ass. Chefs walked around baffled. I just shook my head. Cut my potatoes and finished my soup.
Moral of the story, it takes about 5 yrs for black eyes to heal. Healthy people, stop getting with hurting people until they're fully healed. Y'all better cut those potatoes, mind your mind and focus on finishing your soup.
The younger me would have never seen today coming. But I knew 9 months ago what was about to go down.
