You really made love to and with someone?
Not just ***
Passion and music
No rushing
Nothing stopping you or getting in the way
The last time you held hands walking
Sometimes that look that lasts a little longer
When was the last time?
C@rainbowchaser2022

You had the look
You had the smile
You had it all
Not mine
Not mine
No matter what I did
No matter what I tried
Platonic is a stop sign
Don't go any further
Telling you for the very last time
Can't be had
Tough too bad
Not even a one night stand?
Not mine
Not mine
Not mine
The sun will never shine

C@rainbowchaser2021

No more tears
Cried too many
Made myself so ill that blood pressure went sky high
You are not worth my health
There is no worth left
No words left to be said
Moving forward because to all of you
I am dead
No repairs
No apologies
Scars and wounds way too deep
No fixes just goodbyes

C@rainbowchaser2018

Bravo, curtain calls, eating in a restaurant near Time Square
Going out at night
Packing for a flight
Hawaii waits until 2021, sigh
Bubble baths and iced tea in pretty glasses
Sorry, I don't drink
Dreading some video chats
Hoping some special ones will come
Parks of all kinds and Arcades
Boardwalks and the smells of Summer
Thermometers, baby wipes, and cleaning way too much of that
Until then whatever Andy Cuomo says, we do.
I am not a member of Cuomogasm,love my husband way too much to be involved.

C@rainbowchaser2020

Football is for him and the hers that enjoy it
Enjoy other sports
This one not for me
Fed the squirrels
Watched them play
Awaiting the raindrops on their way
Researching the recipes and planning their adaptation so we can enjoy them with no worries
Remembering places we visited and wish to return to
Hoping to travel no new places with new tastes and faces
Hating that SNL today is not SNL yesterday
Though hold out hope since 1975 was long ago
There is no place to go
No friends to visit today
It's a cloudy Sunday

Poor philanthropist
Definitely take issue with this
You don't have to be fabulously rich to volunteer or help
A little here and there does go along way
Time and effort make a huge difference
If you are so consumed with yourself
Selfish and cruel
It is your issue
If it a burden, that is different avenue to walk on
But don't call a human being that cares a Do Gooder
They are in great company and we need more in the world
Rather be selfless and caring

C2rainbowchaser2020

No reason
No rhyme
May not come tomorrow
May not come today
You"re on your way
So much for you to do
Not too much to say
Alot more than trying
It's living completely not dying

@rainbowchaser 2023

The door was slammed shut
No ceremony or party
An email after many years of devotion and dedication
That said,please don’t say stay in touch
You don’t mean it
The your way or the Highway speech has gotten old
An incomplete pass is more like it
This is not about baby steps
It is about control
One door shuts and another opens
Farewell, Adios,Goodbye
Severed and cast away

C@rainbowchaser2021

42 degrees with high winds and humidity to boot
Staying in doors doesn't cut it any longer
See there is a rainbow waiting to greet me as it always finds me
Faded or bright it doesn't really matter
No matter where I roam
It is my beloved daddy saying hello
He passed long ago but he always comes to call
The Rain walker awaits for the special visit

C@rainbowchaser2020

Looking for a home
Please don't pass me by
A place to belong
Where food and love surround me
Where hugs and head pats are my companions
Where I dream and awake to find you returning to me
Looking forward to greet you and welcoming you when you come into a room
I dream of this when nobody chooses me at the end of the day
It is always an almost and then they don't return
I dream that the nice people that pay a visit or donate things could take me home with them
I dream of this when the volunteer tells me tomorrow girl
Looking for a forever home

C@rainbowchaser2021

You were beaten and abused
Left with a scar for life and *****
They told you no company and lock doors
They never said strangers in elevators are nit to happen
When parties and growing up should have mattered
Nobody to tell or help so back to school you go
Your parent dies upon and on you and the guilt seems to linger still
Two major traumas you kept locked inside
But you wore your key on your neck
Did as you were told
No friends
Clean the house
Do your homework by five
Cook dinner pre microwave days
This is our house and we do as we **** please
Talk back and the strap comes out
One look made that unnecessary but it, still looms
Have they done a study about those kids
Lonely kids with nothing but rules and regulations
Have become artists in many walks of life
That for them was the only thing to come out, from under
Living and loving life
Did that lanyard cord with a key around your neck make it wrong or right?

C@rainbowchaser2021

Raised in solidarity
Changes long overdue
But not acted upon or met
Tears falling and not understood like feelings wiped away
and locked in time
Believe what you need to care about
Respect others differences and rights
Religion and politics are left and checked at the door
When you take your shoes off
Make sure that you read and ask pertinent questions
Listen and think before you speak so you are understood
Look very carefully at the prisms
Colors are bright,bold,subtle and beautiful
When you open your eyes and your heart
Prisms of voices appear

C@rainbowchaser2021

You would not be here without it
There is no cause to doubt it
Everything old is new again through the eyes of Boomers
It is about more than age and place
So let me get into your face
Stop judging and meet all kinds of people
Age is a number that is all it is
By the way I like Dua Lipa too

C#rainbowchaser2021

When Mother Nature dazzles us with her children and vistas
Reminds us that she is gracious and notbe be abused or messed with
When you are lived beyond neasure and continue to climb a rung  as you venture forward.
Something reminds you that your heart never completely minded from what was and what is
Even now as you venture wanting to do good in tne world
Even now you are still unsure because you never stop learning
It is a process and as it should be

C@rainbowchaser202o

Tuning in
Tuning out
Not out of interest but for health and heart
The emotional girl and poet needs to care about herself more
When you are very caring and loving
Sometimes you get lost along the way
Useless to loved ones and friends
So learning balance and even keel
Second and thitd best is a not good idea
Focus changed
Quieter and listening
Debbie and Donny Downers stay away please
Just have no time for you and those like you
Your process does not compute
Listen carefully extraordinary people like the poets
Here

Pieces of artist's souls.
Buying LPs,45es,cassettes,amd Cds
Cassettes are back
People learning to repair the
I can hear ny father singing The Impossible Dream
All the shows and concerts he missed and missing since his passing long ago
So his children and grandchildren are musical
No matter what you listen to
Performers you enjoy
Live music is still with us
Enjoy the music

Apologized to the Tiger-colored feral cat crossing a path spooking her
Crows and pelicans  were having a call contest
You have to deal
Going with the flow doesn't suit everybody
It really isnt a one size fits all world even though some want it to be
You get comfortable in uour own skin
Fly as high as your wings and spirit can take you
Enjoy space and time trying to find out who you are
We spend so much time that we dont stop and smell the roses
Listen very carefully
Stop the world and embrace the quiet when you need to get off of it
Staying the same isn^t sane
It is just easier but life isnt about easier- simple process
Remember,it is a four letter word like sane
You can't even

C@rainbowchaser2020

September 14 ,1979 was long ago but not to me
See going down a one -way street to a dead end
You lose yourself and your heart
Never coming back again
You never say never because the unexpected came my way
Might not have fulfilled the requirements of yesterday but what was made up was more than ever imagined
When you least expect it and stop looking
Prince or Princess charming appears
The second time around the love of my life and very best friend
created my happily ever after
My wish is the same for all of you

C@rainbowchaser2019

Soul mates and best friends living our adventures
Some routine and some pristine
Others wonderful surprises that others might take for granted
There is nothing I would not do for you to help you or make your days more pleasant
That goes for how you treat me
You gave me your heart and name decades ago
We are very different
We agree to disagree
The respect and joy shared is the greatest gift
So the next time you want to utter those two words, remember We are long past Thank you

C@rainbowchaser2020

Lots to be said for open doors
Great metaphor for life
One door shuts another one opens
Let's examine the opposite
Be happy for the people and places that have come and gone
Close the door
If somebody moved on and left you behind
Lock the door and don't look back
It is,it was,overdue,expired,not Today or Tomorrow
Sleepless nights and worry like chicken little on warp speed
Go for a walk or do something that requires effort and positivity
No matter the situation
Shut the door
C@rainbowchaser2022

Our angels are around us
Human and canine
Some days are simply glorious while others are just harder than others
Imagine if we didn't remember and just said goodbye
When you least expect it they appear in unexpected and magical ways
Keep them alive in your hearts and members

C@rainbowchaser2019

We don't seek an audience
Though having one is nice
People who write are a very special breed of talent and sensitivity that others don't seek
Others are thrilled and enjoy the craft we polish and try to perfect
The muses seek you when you least expect it
When they choose you, you have to continue to master writing
Listen more carefully and probably feel life differently and more  completely than others do or care to do
Highly sensitive and intelligent lot that seek a life others can't define That is our mission or one of many
Writing is beyond a gift and sometimes a frenemy
Without it, I believe I would never be the same

C@rainbowchaser2021

A sweet stuffed toy bear with soulful eyes
People were ignoring him
He didn’t want to be at this amusement park
He wanted hugs and a home
He has that and more
He is a beloved friend who still gets to me with those beautiful eyes
Hugging him makes the worst days so much better.

C@rainbowchaser2019

There will be books ,documentaries, discussions and songs written about 2020
What it is doing and what it will continue to do to the lives of people
Many sentences starting with do you remember
You are one of Mother Nature's children now
Heard you during a thunderstorm and asked you to quiet down last night
Loud enough that it was booming and deafening
I have forgiven many things since last Monday when you were taken from us
There is one issue that forgiveness cannot be granted
You hated the love of my life when a parent should welcome and love them with open arms because they chose your child
He gave me his name and more love than a lifetime can hold
Yet, your other child's love was loved from the very moment he met you
He bought me a wedding dress never had a gown
The reception you denied me was a small restaurant that he paid for
His parents were ready to give us that party but we declined for all parents should chip in
She got the reception and the gown?
First born crushed again.
Even my wedding album was a gift from his cousin
October will bring our 40th wedding anniversary celebrated differently than we originally planned
Witnessed by many spoken about by very few unless confidentially
This I cannot forgive because the pain and heartache it caused and still causes makes for a suffering wished on nobody else

C@rainbowchaser2020

He somehow knew
You were the one
World's largest Christmas tree and chestnuts
Talking after graduate school til one am
Work beckoned later that day but he listened
His blue eyes always do
The beautiful Teddy Bear in the big box that told you more than you could imagine
The key to the future and he is still with you
Dealt with a parent that never wanted him in your life
And Yet
What he did for love

C@rainbowchaser2021

Long ago and far away they flanked everybody in school
They had it and if you didn't you were scorned
Ridiculed and made to sit alone
Never picked for a play game
The day of reckoning has arrived
She never got a promotion and never knew why
Seems the boss was married to someone she bullied

C@rainbowchaser2021

The Holiday tree and Rockerfeller Center
Eating chestnuts while walking and looking at the Fifth avenue December windows
Seeing a Broadway a show in person and walking to the Theater marquees
Hugging and seeing friends
Attending Television tapings and enjoying restaurants while sitting indoors with no fear or consequences
Many truths are becoming evident and we must move forward and get out of the past befote it destroys us further

Shopping at Farmers markets outdoors
My sweetheart's birthday is paused like our great city but we will celebrate him as best we can
We have great photographs and memories of trips to enjoy but looking forward to more of these and gathering with those we love

C@rainbowchaser2020

You are wished a happy and healthy life filled with joy and adventure
Keep those you love close to you
Be gracious and kind
It is not all and always about you
Whatever pleases you doesn't please others
So know that and move on
Family is defined many different ways
Sometimes relatives take their leave because they know that they only belong under certain prescribed ways
It is not a MEMBERSHIP
You don"t have to renew
Breathing fresh air for the first time
Everybody is going through something
Choose what works nest for you and pay others no mind
It is your time
Dont waste it

C@rainbowchaser2018

Been there
The floor is not for me
Persistence helps
You need to work on it and through it
Everyday and you must see be patient
Let somebody that knows how to help , help you
You never give up on yourself then you deal with others
You have to come first even though you have to learn to see that
Let's say I know
You are worthy

C@rainbowchaser2021

This is how we rock the mike
Sketch a narrative on a a rainbow
Create characters and a storyline on a star
Give words life
Give words pleasure and pain
For all the writers and especially the Poets
This is how we rock the mike
This is how we rock the mike

C@rainbowchaser2022

Where you saying Hello yesterday?
He’s not here
Guess he us everywhere you go
Sitting at a publishing meeting
Ironically the book in the Great Wall of all the books published from 1900- 2014
Right behind of shoulder read”Manuel”
Didn’t catch the author
The title struck me
Of all the places and spaces before me
How did that particular title. Show up?
Coincidence
Hi Daddy!
I miss you
It is August again
He’s not here
He’s everywhere
As long as we remember

C@rainbowchaser2021

Your importance has waned
Still important but not like it used to be
Sad to say just don't recognize you at all
Want every possible magic to surround you
My life is not defined by streaming services and people who refuse to seek help because they don't recognize the need
They might not know
Not a friend's job to tell anybody but be a support system if needed and called upon to do so
Like it is

The 2am talk that is sweet and quiet
More gentle than a summer breeze
The 4am back and knee rub with Mr.Sandman shoveling your eyes almost closed
Somebody to talk to and hug when the world is less than kind
It is love and loving
It is us
Your blue eyes are the most beautiful thing these brown eyes have ever seen
c@rainbowchaser2019

Children should be seen and not heard
This is my house and I do as I **** pkease
Cliches from another time and place
It depends and transcends
What was accepted yesterday has a different value today
A world with converging generations colliding
Where you come from is as it should be
Just keep learning and dont find yourself stuck on this khaki coil
You adapt,accept,and change
You can reject but move forward as it depends and transcends
Be true to yourself and what dictates your heart to beat better for you

C@RAINBOWCHASER2020

Down just doesnt work
Take a step back and then forward for up
You will get there
Not when you plan and then again when you are ready
You may or may not know that
Nobody will tell you
Learning continues when school has long been out
Let yourself in
Been there

c@rainbowchaser2019

You should learn something daily
No matter your degrees and education
You don’t know it all and probably never will
As we evolve and move forward
We learn from history but we don’t live there and perhaps should not
Dwell on what was and what might have been
Let it go
No matter how you learn just don’t stop
Age brings wisdom but not all the answers
What is fake are those that are one-sided and set in their ways
You should believe as you wish but judging others based on that ia another story
An old one
Open your mind
Read
Experience things you never gave a second thought to delving into
Give Social Media and AI a rest
You will hopefully be surprised and learning for the next step

C@rainbowchaser2024

Absorb
Listen
Take it in
Let it digest and marinate
Be a  Sponge

C@rainbowchaser2024

Eugenics seems to be what those who live in the past want.
All people deserve care and respect
The oval office and the occupant can't accept change
Many of us are rich in ways he will never know or comprehend
Know what you are talking about
Stop hating people
Accept,understand,and live a genuine life
We can't allow history to repeat itself
Wreak havoc and get revenge
He never should be in any office
Nor should his gang

The eyes of the blind
The ears of the deaf
The joy of those mourning
The memories of the dead
The laughter in tears
The brightness ina pitch black
Room
Animals laughing at human foibles and follies
Echoes in the wind

C@rainbowchaser2021

Lying in a chair and shading from the sun
Don't think so
Not a fan of alcohol
Epicurean not a buffet devotee
Want to go where the Atlantic ocean befriends the Irish Sea
Others places like this are for me
Golden eagles fly above
Majestic creatures soaring safely and free
The coast hears their gentle cries
It needs to be heard and respected
Ginger squirrels are back and thrive
Hooper swans in the waterways
Human and natural History make each other better
This is all precious and few
Extraordinary vistas so vital
We have much to admire and learn from
Journey continues to museums, live performances, and restaurants and joints but with a camera in hand and a grin wider than to be believed

C@rainbowchaser 2021

It's five o'clock somewhere
No, It's not about that
Cheers, if it is for you
Mother Nature here's to your children
Your amazing blue oceans and skies
Spring and Summer breezes
That Summer Wind that finds me no matter where I go
Autumn spice racks that go on forever
Majestic mountains, valleys, and amazing Vistas
Every creature with fins, flippers, paws, fur, and wings
Your children great and small yearn to travel
Those who admire and adore them are challenged right now
As we await yet another Snow storm , my thoughts to turn to you
Proud to be one of your daughters
Take me away

C@rainbowchaser2021

Hugs that last hours on end
Whispers and laughter in tbe wee hours
Enjoying memories and making new ones
Grateful for where we have been and where we may be going
We cherish now and every moment
Whispers and laughter only we share and understand
The Magic continues .....
How lucky can you get

C@rainbowchaser2024

If you can donate to your local PBS station ,please do so.
It is a treasure and a great educational tool
Think Reading Rainbow and Sesame Street
Write your Senator and ask them to save PBS.
Write CBS and tell them to save Stephen Colbert show.
Share with friends and family



Thanks

Was accompanied by a bright blue and navy Blue Jay
Almost military and yet so regal
He seemed to stop and start with me
Then I looked right at him it seemed our eyes met
Was it a signal from heaven?
Somebody above saying Hello
He stayed with me and then went on his sweet and merry way
Bid him farewell and hope he spends time with me again
Blue Jay

Look what they have done to Democracy
Look what and who they took from us
We have lost so much and gained anxiety
Toxic and tyrannical no news is good news
Yet we remain persistent
Derailed
Railroaded
Disconnected
Misconstrued
You can’t put a band-aid on what we continue dealing with
As we await a vaccine
As we await the results of an election that might very well be life changing
Look what they have done to souls and spirits
Waiting to accomplish and rise again
Until then we deal with change
The one constant thing we have
C@rainbowchaser2020

Will post more thos week.
Worki g on book promotions and getting good agent.
Hi,Everybody!

Moment of Nature on CBS Sunday morning needs to be an hour long
Grebes are Aquatic diving birds
Please don’t mistake for ducks
Some fly
Some flightless
Amazing to watch
Similar to flamingoes but smaller
They are stunning dancers
Passionate and dynamic lovers
This moment will stay with me for awhile
Hope to see them and marvel in person one day
Just lovely to admire

Long ago
Feels like yesterday
That is where you live in my heart
Hard to love a one way street
It was hormones overheating
Not interacting or shared
So when I go back there
That other time and place
Knowing what time has taught me
The second time around came to pass
When it was not
all encompassing
The hormones calmed down
Even now, he loves me most of all
As for you,hope you found your most of all
You are guilty of breaking a heart

C@rainbowchaser2019

The best words
They flow and take on a life of their very own
The narrative tells itself and reads well
It stays with you
You want to write it down and perfect it
Polish it and place it
Edit and edit again
Writers strive to be original
They do their best to get there
