Know Love
You only know what you have,
You only know what you’ve touched
Heard -- Seen -- Tasted -- Smelled
Loved

Joy Springs Eternal
Like the Spring Sun rising in the North
Your tireless mirth
Melts the frozen shackles of melancholy
Releasing our hearts to the warmth of eternal joy

McCain
He was a War Hero you know,
this true red, white and blue American boy.
Like his father and grandfather before him,
he would grow to serve his country.
This true red, white and blue American boy
He went into the Navy to serve his country
Like his father and grandfather before him,
He would carry that service into war.
He went into the Navy to serve his country
His true character showed in how he helped his comrades
He would carry that service into war,
Staking life and limb to save another aviator on the U.S.S. Forrestal
His true character showed in how he helped his comrades
With bomb bursting and fires raging
Staking life and limb to save another aviator on the U.S.S. Forrestal
He was wounded in the legs and chest
With bomb bursting and fires raging
He was shot down as he flew over Hanoi
He was wounded in the legs and chest
He was beaten for serving his country
He was shot down as he flew over Hanoi
And he would suffer for it
He was beaten for serving his country
This made him an American Hero.
And he would suffer for it
Like his father and grandfather before him,
he would grow to serve his country
He was a War Hero you know

Love Is
Why do people think they know what Love is?
Writers muse for endless eternities,
describing all of the conduits
Yet rarely scrape the surface of
Love’s resolute nature.
Love is recognition of
that of yourself that you worship
Measured in another soul.
Love is someone who kisses as good as you do
And yet you could learn a few tricks from.
Love is afternoons swinging in a hammock
Playing with your lover’s hair.
Love is touching them just SO
And watching them gasp with excitement.
Love is getting up, to make them a cup of coffee,
At 530am, when its your day off.
Love is the warm tongue of
“thank you” kissing your ear before
They depart, leaving you wanting them more.
Love is a quickie in the shower
Before heading off to work
And at lunch
And while driving home after work
And before making dinner
And while watching TV
And just before you pass out for the night
And thinking your dreaming only to wake up
Wrapped in each other’s arms.
|
Love is holding their hair while they puke
Cleaning up the mess
Never complaining about it
Even after they try to kiss you
Before brushing their teeth.
Love is never measuring their faults
According to your gauges
Because you know you are as broken as they.
Love is being wicked together
Philanthropic together
Rebellious together
Complacent together
Together.
Love is never having to say you’re sorry
But doing it anyway, right or wrong!
Love is a Demi and Patrick moment
A Jennifer and Patrick moment
An Ellen and Patrick moment
A Gates McFadden and Patrick moment
An Alice and Patrick moment
A David and Neil Patrick moment.
Love is not revealing the losers
Of the next Game of Thrones Death Match
Love is sticking it out for three more months
To let that emotion Pass
And finding the Passion
To Renew the Love that is.

Lost Words
like a Sea Turtle choking on the plastic
bags of human Selfishness,
my wealth of words
is Submerged
under the dubious Constraints
of Self-Appointed judges.
Perfection of thought
seems no longer Attainable
when Supposition is
presumed Evil
Purely as a Consequence
of its Origin.
like Frenzied scavengers
feeding on the Bloated carcasses
of Majestic blue giants,
Addle minded cretins
tear away the Fleshy
Conjugations swimming in
the Lagoons of my mind.
Fragmented narratives
drift hapless, useless
into a Murky abyss,
the Hell of lost aspirations.
like Screaming sea nymphs,
Purposeless souls lure
Wretched wandering pundits
into Deadly shoals
made more Dangerous
by infinite Whirlpools
of circular Reasoning,
I am therefore
i am Wrong.
Like playful Denizens
dancing through the Waves,
my Mind should be free
to spin Yarns
of fleeting Wanderlust
or unceasing Lamentations.
but like an ocean of Jelly Fish
Stinging my psyche,
good Intentions become
floating Obstructions
to my unique Candor.
Thoughts are
the Heart of words,
real or imagined.
I cannot make Vocabulary useful
once Appropriated.
Thoughtless, frayed minds
build parapets of Hate,
Obscuring my Convictions.
