    Nothing but a fading memory

    I saw the first tree, 

    I was in, 

    Into the woods, 

    I could hear him, 

    Coming behind me, 

    I could hear dad say, 

    I'm going to catch you, 

    He caught me that day, 

    And the next, 

    And the next, 

    Until he was not there, 

    Until he was no more than a memory

    Uncertain guesswork


      
        
      


    I see as an accomplice, have you ever been able to listen? you thought to yourself overwhelmingly, proudly, “What can this worthless willow cub want? Even that immortal kisses and the nectars of idyllic laurels? What nonsense is that again ?! ” "I didn't dare take my lips to magical, complimenting words," he was afraid I knew, I'd scare you for good!

    The bewitched Moment of Fate gifted me, and then he was suddenly captivated, he took me far: Maybe if we became the cuddly grandmothers and grandfathers of the School of Life, we might still run into each other in the great abundance! "I couldn't even say one last word to you: And now it's not just the usual 'how am I?' - bagatell's question rides in my head, why did I collect misguided minutes, idyllic gazes

    shreds? I already know: The determined will boasted in me that would h...

    JFG

    You didn't hurt me 
    I hurt me!
    You didn't break me
    I broke me!
    I spent every  love penny 
    It's not your fault you couldn't handle me
    it's neither your fault that I was too mature and womanly 
    boys play and men stay 
    that's just the reality 
    I am not upset just disappointed in you honey :)

    Ripples

    Bluish whirling clean water

    Cool Sierra Nevada Mountains in the rear view

    Majestically holding fort as we gaze at their  grandeur

    Ripples of what we may lose

    At what cost

    What a price to pay?

    Ripples

    6 Alcott Lane

      6 Alcott Lane

    I'm a worn out old man.
    I want to go back to Alcott
    where the world was in a jar
    and we were masters of the
    woods. We knew the creeks and
    lake and swung on vines Tarzan
    like and ran home to supper and
    homework and TV and slumber
    and dad off to work at 5am hacking
    in the bushes and off he went in
    the flesh colored rocket ship that
    was a a '57 Chevorlet Bel Air.

    Houdini

           Houdini

    I wanted to make you proud.
    Your first born boy namesake.
    March 23,1949. You were back
    from war nerves on edge and
    work was scarce and you kept
    exploding in rage and we all
    vibrated with fear and felt
    your pain and war's hell and
    pitied and loved you always.
    Mom closed the windows in
    summer so the neighbors
    wouldn't hear and we went
    to our rooms and mastered
    the art of disappearing.

    The Tale of Gold

    In those times of old

    I was told

    There was a tale of gold

     

     

    People say

    Once a day

    You could see Heaven’s ray

     

     

    In the rain

    Dirt and grain

    They fought from Heaven’s rein

     

     

    People bold

    Looking for gold

    Went to the time of old

     

     

    All who died

    Wept and cried

    And in the end, sighed

     

     

    There was gold

    I was told

    In those times of old

    The prosperity of Existence


      
        
      


    I have survived the full steady pace of my life! The treasures of smells, wonders, and emotions evaporated behind me — doing nothing as it would have seemed through the eyes of others: The tiny cells of the unknown existence were influenced by molecules. My swarm-toddler's turn of the century was watched by women, as they later leveled my school-lesson career — I was able to go to their safety once and for all: my spirit could finally be aware of and marvel at the formula of the anthill of the world,

    however, the remaining order is like the molasses tutyimutyism! I hid among the shadows unnoticed, unmoved. With my inner eye, I measured the bizarre message exchanges of immortal kisses: every tangled, exhausted tiny coal challenge generated real emergency challenges, like when nuclear nuclei split.

    I am ashamed of a lot of my mistakes and mistakes for so much - tha...

    Desire

    if I could trim lines 
    texture words 
    savor each syllable 
    perhaps 
    all the passion that erupts 
    from my breasts would subside 
    waves would cease their capsizing 
    sunsets wouldn't hurt my eyes 
    with their unmistakable beauty 

     

    if I could taste the ink-bed
    beforehand would sensations 
    arouse this page instead of my hips 
    and mind with midnight lips that kiss 
    each pondering in unbearable sighs
     I want to expel this tempest 
    in gaslit pages 
    that burn and burn and   
    BURN inside 


    til your hands clutch
    these feelings
    enmeshed in ecstasy 
    the splendorous ache of 
    wanting craving 
    love's euphoric madness
    so much 
    that only words 
    cup your face

    Love Evermore

    A beautiful Angel from above
    And his smile is so bright 
    His eyes are full of love 
    He fits perfectly in my heart
    My heart were made to hold him
    And I was made to love him
    He's truly beautiful an Angel from above
    His warm kisses are from heaven
    And he's safe in my heart
    And sheltered inside my heart
    Smiling with me every day 
    Feeling his love every moment 

    Every day spent with him
    Is the best part of my life
    He always make me feel like a woman
    Because I love him, my beautiful hubby
    And sweetheart,
    Me without him in my life is like
    The sky without stars
    Your face without your beautiful smile
    Or a rainbow without colors

    And sweetheart may our days be filled
    With forever happiness and joy
    Because every day is a dream come true
    Because sweetheart I'm
    Forever in love with you..<...
