She loosened the ribbons
and let the wrapping fall
and showed to me the smile
that really said it all
the gift I gave was laughter
the gift received was love
as I gazed upon her beauty
and breathed in the scent of dove
for her soft skin she had pampered
and moisturised with care
and made of her owb body
a gift we both could share
so long had I forgotten
the pleasure one could find
from a little imagination
and a wild and wicked mind
her gift was given freely
it had only cost her time
and she winked and smiled coyly
as she lay her hand in mine
I don't ask for fortune
and I've no need of fame
when I have such a woman
whom can set my soul aflame
the days may not be rosy
but the nights are always hot
and I can say quite honestly
Im happy with my lot
cups of warm tea
shared together
over dog eared pages
on a cemented bench
covered with leaves
raindrops singing in tandem
to a rhythm known only to frogs
and here we sit
staring into the mist
wrapped in the warm blanket of silence

Imaginary things can be pleasant or destructive
an idea is powerful, ever living
then why so much power given to the wrong side
a piece of paper, a chunk of metal
money
borders are imaginary yet we give them form
to what purpose?
apparently freedom is imaginary too
living within a facade, sheep held within imaginary fences
eating imaginary grasses tainted with poison
keep living in the matrix
I chose to take the pill that hurts
the one where imaginary things are not real
and I am no longer a sheep
keep your money, borders and lies
Dedicated to the corrupt power hungry ******* who feed lies to the people.

What if money didn't exist.....

'tis the season to be sickly
a cough, a choke, the flu
do get well quickly!
though a virus does defeat you
it is only for now
get well soon!
Get well Chuck! rest then keep writing my friend.

She walks into a room like a hurricane of confidence
While others, slump in, afraid of drawing attention to themselves.
Its not like that though.
She doesn’t cry out for attention
Rather her personality demands

She isn’t the kind to waste away
Her laugh demands a reply of a smile
and
Her eyes demand yours

She wants and works and receives

She’s like mother nature, the way she moves
She rooted to the ground, like an old oak tree:
swaying in the wind, with a breeze of a smile

Sometimes I think she most have not been raised like others
Its like fear was never installed into her mind
and
faith was always on her lips, since the day she was born

When other inquire about her:
who she is
and
ask why
and
don’t understand

I reply:

“Though she be but little, she is fierce”
To a college buddy, Merry Christmas!

Were there reason to suspect treachery
I do not know
mind has become lost in an awakening
thus senses dulled
were it normal such a flip flop of the senses
I would think me safe
as it were I find me tossed into the dark
wondering what curveball may my way next come
I am lost in the Amazonian jungle
waiting for venom to strike out
naught in this secluded wood could be serene
or is this my paranoia talking
but I know this game
Jumanji let us dance
it is your turn to roll the dice
I am watching afraid, confused
what intention could be that
of a python stalking a mouse
nimble
footed
reminiscences
skip
away
from
me    
           i
                          run
                                 ­               after
  and
get
hopelessly
                       ­                                                                 ­                                                

               ­                                                                 ­                                                                 ­                                         lost!

                   this

                   where
                    my
                   happiness
                     ( hides ) !

if some day, i did forget
my name
my place
and everything that I did
would I still remember
how to write?
is it like cycling- a skill once learnt
that is never forgotten
or is it a gift
once lost, never to be found?
would I recognize these words I’ve penned
with passion and pain mingled-
would I feel the joyful comfort I’ve felt
in their expression?
