More About Me and My World
Married for a long long time, and I'm too tired for any affair-been writing for years and have made a lot of friends. I am reaching my golden years tho the odd pain in my joints make me wonder what is so great about the golden years? Also as my wife has said to me before:

"I don't mind you being on the net but it's like any stray cats or dogs that try to follow you home because they like you, don't let any woman try to follow you home!" ( Yes Dear)

A quote I like to use--" The liar forgets but gmail recalls everything"

Deserted Cities of my heart

There are places that can take you
where you didn't plan to go
bars and streets with odd names
where even Angels fear to show

Places which hold bitter memories
of women with their agendas too
who seem to get really pissed
when there isn't desire from you

I've been around the block sometimes
I've got deserted cities of my heart
been so long playing my tune
don't care to copy another's art

Been a lover of a lot of women
only know what interests me
is being creative with a pen
writing my own ver… Continue

Friendships

SOME DAYS WITHOUT WARNING AN OLD FACE WILL POP UP IN MY MEMORY BANK. SOMEONE I HAVE LOST TOUCH WITH OVER THE YEARS, EITHER DUE TO MY NEGLECT OR OTHER FACTORS I HAD NO CONTROL OVER. ADDRESSES HAD CHANGED, JOBS DOWNSIZED. IT'S NOT LIKE A LIBRARY WHERE YOU CAN GO AND FIND THAT POPULAR BOOK ON A SHELF BECAUSE OF A FILING SYSTEM. FRIENDS CAN DISAPPEAR ALL TOO QUICKLY. WHAT YOU ARE LEFT WITH IS A FOREST OF MEMORIES. NOW MEMORIES ARE GOOD BUT WHEN YOU LOSE THE VOICE, ADDRESS AND CLOSE CONTACT WITH SOME… Continue

Living with a Poetess

AMBROSIA FOR MY SOUL
GRAIN FIELDS WAVING TO ME
MOUNTAINS IN THE BLUE DISTANCE
TWINKLING OF HIDDEN BROOKS I SEE

CALMNESS OF GOLDEN KISSED LAKES
REPINING VOICE OF A FOREST'S SOUL
SIGHING OF THE NIGHT WIND
SURF COMPLAINING TO THE SHORE

FRESH BREATH OF SILENT VIOLETS
EROTIC PERFUME OF HYACINTH DEW
IN THE BEAUTY OF MY LOVE'S TOUCH
THE GRACE OF HER GENTLE STEP TOO

IN THE MAGIC OF HER EYES
HER LAUGHTER AND SWEET CHARM
I WORSHIP THE BEAUTY OF HER LOVE
HER PURITY KEEPS ME FROM ALL HARM

SHE HAS NEVER… Continue

Old Books

Silence was in the room that lonely day

as his books like sentinels stared down at me

longing to be held close, but I heard the preacher

through the open window say " Dust to Dust"

he was being returned to his maker

to be retouched and refitted by nail scarred love.

Leaving his books to me, one who didn't like to read!

I opened a book and felt an August wind as it blew the leaf notebook away

a song was sung as the coffin was lowered and a melody beyond

the universe stirred hope among th… Continue

Been wondering about Poetry

I REALIZE THE ARGUMENTS FOR AND AGAINST A PERSONAL GOD WHO CREATED HUMANS OUT OF NOTHING, BUT SOMETIMES I WONDER IF THE SIMPLE ACT OF WRITING A POEM-YOUR UNSPOKEN SOUL THOUGHTS-MAKE ME FEEL AT TIMES IF I'VE BECOME A CREATOR WITH VERY LIMITED SKILLS, BY THE ULTIMATE DESIGNER, TO ALLOW HIS CREATION TO SPEAK AND CREATE BEAUTY IN WORDS?

EVERY DAY I WRITE SOMETHING, A FEW WORDS, SENTENCES, PARAGRAPHS, A BLOG? IS THAT WHAT THIS IS??AND IS POETRY NEXT? AND BEING A POET-HOW DOES ONE KNOW THEY HAVE BECO… Continue
