Olympus

not sure If it was a dream or a memory of fear and beauty of a summer from my past

Olympus

I dreamt about the crumbling hills,

of lavender, drenched, scented

Highlights of silver dusty light,

the sound of Cicadas

Gods who gave instruction

My Love

The poem is was written for a guy who dedicated his feeling to a girl he loved. He asked me to write it for her since he was not very good at writing poetry.

My Love 

My love is true,

And it’s all for you.

My heart sees a love,

That was sent from above.

When I look into your eyes,

That makes me never want to say goodbye.

From the start

You had my heart.

Nostril damn mess

i still vividly recall this fear of extricating a rotten egg left to percolate with greater offensive stench. most likely this lingering recollection continued to shoulder air time, thus the force of will to...

The putrid, malodorous and fowl nauseating smell 

   can still be conjured nearly fifty years later wracked

I never forget ineradicable tangy, sulfurous 

   acrid odor rankled olfaction tract

ansley piper dunning

unbeknownst to this papa, the nieces per thy sister two plus years younger than me (her only brother) exude such civility, frivolity, and individuality. 

this stunning lithe oldest teenage niece, daughter of my younger sister, epitomizes a tall drink of water (similar to the mother at same age)

What with her willowy young woman body brimming with budding...

Dusk or Dawn

I suffer from dysthymia and periods of major depression with suicidal thoughts. It has been close to five years since I noticed any symptoms. I do not wish to romanticize suicide by any means....

When shall I commit the act? The one they call damnable The one that will rot my soul, So They say.

But the act is my liberator From this agony, from your condemnation More...

Wednesday morning

This poem basically sums up a working day in my current life. It is a simple poem but I like a simple life to be honest so it makes sense.

Wednesday morning  Time to get up, time to get ready. Have wash, clean teeth. Then must walk Freddie. No bike ride today.  A lift I'll be given. Though must exercise slightly I don't...

Strength of a Survivor

Heaven’s path is paved with good intentions.

Survival is the source of many inventions.

Everything works together for good.

What’s Life?

Seventy years is span of man

That’s three scores and ten

Walking three quarters on his hands

Grandsire sits by the fans

Craving troops ignore no stones

Lame tangled in their wake

Forgetting all springs from the zones

Command to...
