The lady is no fool

She saw a chance to rekindle
He saw his chance to swindle
But when they finally jammed
He was profoundly scammed

The cunning lady stole his trust
But eyed him with full mistrust
So when they got together last
She stiffed him and had a blast

I love your sweet music

That music from your house

Soothes and my spirit rouse

Nourishing my sleep at night

Singing my days oh so bright

I would abandon life’s basics

For sweetness of your music

Day and night you wow I bow

Play it again for I want it now

To love and love not

You have once lived with love

And did regret and wanted off

Was it because another heart

Did sail in your lover’s yacht

If such is why you did regret

You're not alone, never forget

A natural universal human trait

Is to leave and not to stay in hate

Countryside Couple

For memories he’d remember
In the heart of mid September
He escaped with his new bride
To the allure of the countryside

They saw warm natural brooks
In authentic countryside looks
There in warm waters sublime
They lay in true waters of time

College Degree that Cooks

This big college degree
Displayed for all to see
I love the way it shines
In glowing wordy lines

Master of college books
Get a degree that cooks
My fat belly more agrees
Around cooking degrees

Sunshine of my grapevine

In you I’ve found sunshine
That fills grapes with wine
I am drunk of wine joyfully
Sunshine wine so tenderly

There is no other sunshine
Distilling in finer grapevine
No sweeter smoother wine
Drips into these lips of mine

Water and Fire

I saw a child play with water
I saw him run away from fire
The very same friendly water
Does make the fire to expire

Such is gentle water’s power
So strong yet mild like flower
If water quenches fire’s anger
You need no guns for your ire

She will make my whiskey right

That whiskey was not right

So I soaked myself in sprite

But what I wanted so much

Was sit down on her couch

Now I sit down on the couch

Whose comfort is not much

I am drinking no more sprite

She’ll make my whiskey right

One Last Kiss

One last chance for your kiss
Is top among the things I miss
Memories fresh still as before
Only your kiss my pain'll cure

You love him with all your heart
I will not tread on forbidden part
But give me a gift of one last kiss
I will live in memories and in bliss

River of Peace

The river of positive life
Washed away her strife
It sent the waters ashore
For her warmth to ensure

I stood by the river to watch
Watch her swim, also march
Swim, march into river of life
Smiled, finally let go of strife

Silver and Gold

You may choose to litigate
Even mediate and stipulate
But grieve you not over silver and gold
Those thieves of souls do make us old

Giggling Heart

Last night I heard you chuckle
The way you used to cackle
But then I heard some giggle
Giggles that made me wiggle

The chatter and hearty prattle
Remind me of moments gentle
But the nervous giggling part
Did someone steal your heart

Cowgirl Mary

She was known as Cowgirl Mary
Fast on mountain and on prairie
Cowboys threw ropes to ring her
But none caught her wedding finger

So many boys tried to tie the ropes
On Mary's finger of slippery slopes
All the Cowboys she would not wed
And now we hear that Mary is dead

Sitting and Watching Passersby

I sit at the corner, watch them pass
All shapes and sizes of human mass
Each shape and size is part of me
Grateful I'm blessed with eyes to see

I see each one as a moving poem
Like automobile's shinny chromes
Every passing one a unique being
Like secret poems yet to be seen

Trouble in a bottle of rum

A flea once fell in a bottle of rum
In the rum was a drunken worm
Worm chased flea out and about
Both ran into the chicken's mouth

Rum in worm made chicken drunk
He flapped about like crazy skunk
The noisy flapping reached the sky
Eagle flew down made chicken cry

A light for two

That torchlight you hold for only me
That shinning light that makes me see
It really makes me see my way to you
May I shine for you my torchlight too

If you should walk in the light I shine
Come rain or shine you will be fine
Our torchlights no more shall be two
They'll merge in one for me and you

This side of wilderness

Right here in natural wilderness
Raw nature frowns on tenderness
I installed tents I brought with me
That I might be with nature free

I've left behind my dollars and cents
And chose to dwell within my tents
Do not be in a hurry to join with me
In sweet wilderness where I'm free

Rise

Rise now and all fears dethrone
Discard all that chills the bones
Resolve to march with fearless gait
And free yourself of useless regrets


Today will be the day you will start
A road from which you won't depart
Resolve your powers enthrone today
Rise and waive goodbye to yesterday

Close Always

That those close to your heart
You never really leave or part
That is the most stubborn truth
A solid tree of affection's root

Euphoria is a bad country

Now we’ve reached euphoria

No sight of expected madonna

Heaven forgive me if I’m vulgar

But I will feel better if I slap ya

Have You Laughed Today

I say have you laughed today
Will you float above the fray
Then listen now, then replay
I say have you laughed today

Saw you sing, saw you pray
Even dance with feet of clay
Here’s a must and not a may
Say have you laughed today

Exorcise that ghost

I heard you cry out in the night
Did you fall from dreamy flight
Or was it again that ugly ghost
Ugly ghost that riles you most

I hate to wake you when you cry
Crying  never makes anyone die
But if a cry comes from a ghost
Exorcise him so he will be toast

Gifts for Friends

One day when I join the rich

I will use my money to teach

I will give them to my friends

To teach them how to amend
 

One day when I join the poor

I will have nothing to explore

But  I will contact my friends

To give them all my nothings
 

But neither rich nor poor am I

Between the rich and poor I lie

I’ve nothing to give my friends

With poor and rich I will blend

Lifting rocks all day

Raised and lowered rocks all day

Evening took my legs to the bay

Swam in calm waters all evening

Proves the logic of my reasoning

Proves that muscles lifting rocks

Which some ascribe to only luck

And lean bodies shaped in waters

Will make you hot or even hotter

The Magnificent Madman

Mad Charlie’s grandiose delusions

Manifest in impeccable dimensions

This imposing monumental tornado

Is mammoth in his majestic bravado



Stuck in his exaggerated self-worth

He royally scoffs as he strides forth

Imperial insanity in regal mega dose

He loves the verbosity of his cosmos

Laura, the vampire bat

Laura dared her senses to take a hike

Four of Laura’s senses went  on strike

The sense of touch was the first to go

She was next  blind that’s two in a row

Her sense of smell did escape like hell

Then her hearing  quickly bid farewell

She has only sense that blood desires

The only good sense for a bad vampire

Her welcome back song

In memory I crossed the old path

The path where you normally sat

I saw neither you nor your grace

Not even your scent in that place

Although none shall you replace

Your image was etched in space

In memory’s path I lost you dear

Now I’m happy you’re back here

Fine

My chest was up and I was proud

To see you stand out in the crowd

There is a word I never use in vain

A word with height that few attain

You fit that word with beguiling care

A eulogizer of your enchanting flare

That powerful word is known as fine

A word that henceforth will be mine

Here lies shinny head

She did  fall in love with Fred
When he had his shinny head
She didn't like his fancy dreads
His fancy shinny head she wed

We used to call him shinny Fred
Then his head she would dread
One day we heard  he was dead
From his house the girl had fled

Memories are Stubborn

Memories yield double-edged swords

Like some hybrid good and bad words

Such stubborn bits of irreverent truths

Just like all-year sweet and sour fruits

The archives of memories yield to none

Filled as soon as our experience is done

Had we but the power to fill the storage

Memories would be only happy footage

A Wonderful New Year

Oh, what a wonderful New Year!
A beautiful, happy and joyful day
I woke up among all people dear
My head, mind, and soul are clear
I shall march through without fear
