Sunny on a Sunday Afternoon

 

Ok! Your turn Nicky J!  😊 smooches  👄

Let Me Lie

Let Me Lie


Though I die of love and it's wanting
Let me lie in it's embrace
Until I perish

For there is no softer, no grander gesture
Than to die in love's arms
Even though the many die underneath it's feet.

Still the few, like me and you
Voluntarily give ourselves to the burning of the light
Knowing we shall be together forever in eternity.

It is an easy choice and the only choice
Hearts like ours may make
For we have died a thousand times, what is one more?

With the rising of the golden dawn
We raise our faces again to the silver sky
There on the other side of forever.

And entwining lips and arms and souls
We find ourselves and who we are
There in the empty spaces that God has made
And we are home. Again.

REMEMBERING TOMORROW

 

Remembering Tomorrow

Remembering tomorrow

And the things not yet to be

Things unspoken, dreams undreamed

The story of you and me.

Forgetting yesterday

And the way the two of us

Fell in the love that fell away

As our hearts forgot to trust.

Thinking of you in my arms

And the light shining from our eyes

In the game of love, declared the winners

With one another's hearts as our prize.

All we could see was tomorrow

Yesterday was just fairytale lore

A dream come to pass with a promise to last

Needs fulfilled but always needing more.

What happened to us, tell me, love

All the joy has drowned in sorrow

Tell me how to let go of yesterday

When I'm still remembering tomorrow.

Being Alone

 

Ode To Women

esday, November 20, 2019

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
ODE TO WOMEN



ENTWINED AROUND AN APPLE TREE
SATAN SAID TO EVE:
"WOULDST THOU LIKE AN APPLE
FROM MY GOLDEN APPLE TREE?"

AND EVER SINCE THE APPLE
WOMANKIND HAS BEEN
BLAMED FOR ALL CALAMITIES
AND EVERY KIND OF SIN.

WHENEVER WE MAKE SMALL MISTAKES
IT'S TAKEN AS AN OMEN
MEN ALL SHAKE THEIR HEADS AND SAY
"NOW, THAT'S JUST LIKE A WOMAN."

AND MEN BELIEVE THAT WE CONCEIVE
CHILDREN JUST BY WISHING
'CAUSE THEY ALL SAY THAT MEN HAD RATHER
BE OFF SOMEWHERE FISHING.

HURRICANES AND SHIPS AND STORMS
ARE CALLED BY FEMALE NAMES
BECAUSE WE ARE SO WILD, THEY SAY
AND DIFFICULT TO TAME.

EVERY TIME YOU STUMBLE ON
A DRUNKARD BY THE WAY
HE'LL TELL YOU 'TWAS A WOMAN
THAT TURNED HIM OUT THAT WAY.

WOMEN MAKE MEN DRINK, THEY SAY
AND GAMBLE, STEAL AND DIE
WOMEN BREAK THEIR HEARTS OF GOLD
AND NEVER EVEN SIGH.

WHEN A BAD BOY GOES TO PRISON
WITH ALL HIS CRIMINAL BROTHERS
HE'S SURE TO SAY WHEN ASKED IN PITY
"IT STARTED WITH MY MOTHER."

POOR WOMANKIND HAS BEEN THROUGH MUCH
SINCE EVE PUT US IN PRISON
BUT AT LEAST SHE HAD THE GUMPTION
TO MAKE THE FIRST DECISION.

THE FEMALE IS THE STRONGER SEX
AND I PROVE MY STATEMENT'S WORTH:
IF MEN WERE MEANT TO BEAR THE CHILDREN
THERE'D BE NO LIFE ON EARTH!

WHAT WOULD MEN DO WITHOUT WOMEN
THOUGH THEY DISDAIN US WITH SCORN
DO NOT THEY REALIZE WE ARE ROSES
AND THEY ARE ONLY THORNS?

OF COURSE, WE NEED OUR COUNTERPARTS
DON'T MISUNDERSTAND THIS SONG
AND WE'LL COMFORT, LOVE AND KEEP THEM
(TILL SOMETHING BETTER COMES ALONG.)
