Together

Together

Together again
Twenty four seven
Running a marathon
Not an unusual phenomenon

Many couples enjoy this life
And many do not
There will be strife
Like a blood clot

It can kill you
If you do not dissolve
The nasty brew
Before it can evolve

Evolve to your heart
Where it can hurt or kill
So be smart
And use your skill

Take medicine to thin your blood
Learn to shrug off the attacks
Or you will be stuck in the mud
So know the facts and relax

A good relationship
Is like blood thinner
Works like forgiveness
We are sinners

So enjoy every minute
Laugh a lot
Be compassionate
They are not an afterthought

Fun in the Snow


Snow

Snow is beautiful
It is so calm and reassuring
In the right places it's plentiful
And it can be alluring

Snow holds memories
From my youth
Adding to my life histories
And until I am long in the tooth

Snowman
Snow fights
Snow angels
Snow slushies

The games change
Along come acquaintances
Friends interchange
And so do the experiences

Ski
Sleigh rides
Snowboarding
Snowmobiling

All part of the journey
The journey of life
A grand tourney
Marching to the drum and fife

Cocoa Beach

Cocoa Beach
Coco Beach

The first thing pops in my mind
I Dream of Jeannie
A sit com comedy enshrined
About a beautiful genie

Now I live close
It is more about the beaches
And rocket launch shows
Plus the marinas

My sailboat is docked here
In Cape Canaveral Port
So close to the rocket roar
Sights and sounds to take to heart

It is where we go to the beach
Not far to roam
Easy to reach
So close to home

Great place to ride bicycles
We have a nice circuit
As long as we avoid vehicles
A tourist orbit

Chasing their cruise ships
Cars and buses rushing around
People heading on trips
They are hellbound

To go on vacation
But Cocoa Beach is my place
My fixation
A holiday to chase and embrace

I have many amenities
All in this one city
Including many memories
But most the beaches are pretty

Madrid

Madrid

I wandered Madrid
Enjoying the sights
Believing I am El Cid
A beloved Spanish knight

Fighting not for blood
But time
A tourist stud
Searching and seeking in rhyme

So much to see
For two days of travel
And I was free
At my pace to unravel

All of the great destinations
Sitting in courtyards and plazas
Sipping coffee on vacation
Recalling all Spains mighty causes

Fighting Muslims invaders
Discovering the new world
Subduing the English pirates and raiders
Surviving Fascism as it whirled

Spain had endured
From good times to bad
Unsecured to secured
Moving past the dictatorship fad

Reminding me of Don Quixote escapades
One of my favorite operas and books
He is fighting villains on his crusade
There is more going on than it looks

He is fighting a noble fight
To stay pure and true
A beacon of light
And a strong bond or glue

To the noblest of ideals
For all of the needy and depressed
You must hear his appeals
To be brave and pass the test

True to goodness
True to the humanity
True to the truth
True to God

Anything is possible
If you give it your best
Possible and best is compossible
With a holy quest

A holy quest for what is right
Maybe not popular
Pushing back the blight
As a holy swashbuckler

My mind ran through these thoughts
As I sat at Don Quixotes statue
And I was happy to bear the cross
And I remembered and knew

It should all be for God
The number one thing
And it is hard not to be a fraud
But you must cling to the King

No matter what
Or under any circumstance
You know it in your gut
Take a holy stance

For your friends and neighbors
For the born and unborn
God will reward your labors
And you will be reborn
