I never dreamed
Someone from my past
Feelings redeemed
So much time has passed
I kept up with her
We would always be friends
She would concurr
Our friendship transcends
We have reconnected
Both being single
We have redirected
For us to mingle
She watched me sail
Commenting along the way
I called her instead of email
Just not any comminique
We talked for hours
Just about everything
She must have superpowers
She was so addicting
We communicated frequently
Four or five times a day
I enjoyed her evidently
Because she was so gay
She was brilliant
She was happy
She was exciting
She was captivating
I wanted more
I wanted that energy
I wanted to explore
I wanted synergy
I asked her out
And she agreed
What a rout
I decreed
Too smooth
Too slick
Too easy
Too sleek
We were so agreeable
I was flabbergasted
Our future is unforeseeable
And it was not forecasted
Now a new journey
Where will we go
A magnificent tourney
Only God will know

Anchor
A critical tool To keep afloat You are a fool If not on your boat Drift into sand bars Run aground Not like a car Earthly bound There are tides And current Waves on all sides So do not get burnt Buy the correct ground tackle Many different types and traits Correct anchoring is the battle To avoid mistakes There is sand Which is the best An anchor will stand When your boat is pressed Grass is the hardest to set An anchor will slip Which is a threat To your ship You need pointy flukes To dig into the ground There will be no rebukes Your boat will be sound Two anchors can be better than one To keep your boat stable Increasing your comfort and fun Do not forget your cable Plenty of chain As far as you can Use your brain Keep to the plan At least a length of five To the depth of the water You want to stay alive And not rely on a spotter Spend the money Chain is expense Or you will be on one knee Begging God when it is tense An anchor is fundamental A way to stay grounded Your life will be more gentle When circumstances compounded But what is your anchor in life What keeps you secure To avoid unnecessary strife An anxiety cure God God is the fix He is no fraud Remember the crucifix Jesus is our foundation He is our security Keeping us on station He is our surety He guarantees Life after death Drop to your knees And take a deep breath Ask for mercy Seek repentance Resolving your controversy In one simple sentence If you declare with your mouth Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead you will be saved Jesus is our salvation And like an anchor is our buffer From ultimate damnation You do not have to suffer
Transition
How do you move From one lifestyle to another way What do you have to prove Or who do you have to betray Leaving your loved ones Moving far away Tired of the reruns Satisfied to exit the fray To most of us The little things do not matter But I cannot handle the fuss All the unnecessary chatter I hate the escalation of the mundane It drives me nuts And it hurts my brain To live continually in a rut So how do you escape From this routine Wanting to create a new shape Without making a scene Pray to God Ask for direction This is not odd A way of injection Create a vision Let people know Helps them envision Your plan so it can grow Grow on their minds Not a great surprise When I chase the winds And say my goodbyes What is success How does that look Write it down to reduce stress Use a one dollar composition book Write your thoughts In this journal Connect the dots A commitment eternal Read it periodically Change it if needed A true methodically Success will be seeded Payoff your debts Have no liabilities Easy as it gets Increasing the possibilities Possibilities to leave With no restrictions A grand reprieve From regular convictions Automate your finances Depositing checks and paying bills No reason to take chances Create and update your wills Fulfill your obligations Tidy up your affairs Mend your relations Expend a few tears Plan a period of months not days To transition to your new world A cautious journey pays Your new life will unfurl Unfurl in bits and pieces Taking systematic actions Success increases Through these transactions Create an exit plan How do I get out If crap hits the fan And I have my doubt Can I do it Living on a boat If I need to quit Just read my notes Follow your instructions Knowing how to leave Removing all obstructions Not hard to unweave Return to drydock on solid land The life forgotten Not what y0u had planned You life will not be rotten Appreciate that you tried To live in a unique fashion You did not backslide Trying to enjoy a childhood passion You took a trek And you gave it a shot What the heck Not what you thought But why this defeatist attitude You have planned and trained So do not unnecessary conclude You will crack under the strain God is in control That is why you prayed He owns your soul So do not be afraid God will communicate If He disagrees God is your mate So be at ease You have ignored God before You know his wrath You understand God more and more You will not stray from His path Go with assurance A grand expedition You have secular insurance And divine permission Enjoy and treasure Toast and celebrate This extraordinary pleasure Sailing is your fate
Sailing Tourist
Sailing Tourist I want to sail and tour The Caribbean and Bahamas With a tourist brochure And no frustrating dramas On the sea or land Enjoying the sights Basking in the sand Or climbing to the heights Snorkeling and swimming Catching a lobster or crap Watching the sunlight dimming Let me summarize and recap Sailing from key to key Anchoring in a safe place Where you feel free Free of the rat race Not chasing time No timetables or plans Life with a simple rhyme Celebrate and clap your hands What an exciting adventure Peaceful and serene A promising venture And a natural dopamine Simply your life Go with the flow Throw away the strife Enjoy God and his show The mesmerizing waves The tranquil blue shades The spectacular underwater caves The local peoples and their trades Plenty to see And things to do Let it all agree Just take a knee Praise our Savior and Lord Thank you for forgiveness and grace We will never be bored Sailing and seeking your face
I am Back on Social Media
Need to Promote My Writing
I have started writing again. I am no longer on my medicine, and I have written a second book of poetry.
https://amzn.to/3kPQZL4
I hope you enjoy my poems. Here is one I wrote the other day:
I Do Not Know
I do not know
I do not understand
I do not accept the status quo
I do not make demands
Lost and alone
Lost and needy
Lost in groans
Very greedy
Selfish
Hurtful
Jealous
Ungrateful
I search
I chase
In church
In your face
I am not fair
I am not emphatic
Not that I do not care
Not to cause static
My every intention
Is to be loved
Not an intervention
Or to be shoved
But in goodwill
Honest and true
Neither a windmill
Nor a zoo
Help me Lord
Settle down
Not with a sword
Or to shutdown
Honest retrospect
Heartfelt transmission
Giving respect
Honest admission
Of my faults
Of my weaknesses
Of my assaults
To my Jesus
Let me bow
Let me repent
Worship thou
End my torment
Restore my heart
According to your will
I need a fresh start
Make my path downhill
Easy to travel
Easy to see
Less prone to unravel
With a skeleton key
Unlock the doors
Make my way
On all fours
So I can pray
Heavenly Father
Forgive me
Bless my sister
Hear my plea
Hear
In Jesus name
My sins disappear
Without shame
I am new
Today everyday
No blame
Without decay
Holy Spirit
Filled
Explicit
Old life killed
