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

Holiday

Holiday
Christmas
Will not decay
With an accomplice

Always fresh
With a happy companion
Flesh to flesh
And much affection

Life is fun
Life is exciting
Life is a blast
Life is exhilarating

A special person
Makes all the difference
Affection and cooperation
Tolerance and reverence

Honor and cherish
Give all you can
Romance will not perish
With many parties over your lifespan

Birthdays
Halloween
Anniversaries
Weddings

Many occasions to share
Arm and arm
Under loving care
And mesmerizing charm

Sing with joy
For this grand opportunity
Only we can destroy
Our loving community

And I will guard and protect
This one in a lifetime chance
Allowing no disrespect
During this lifelong dance

She found me
She chose me
I have claimed her
And I will keep her

Forever and ever
To death do us part
And I will never
Lose my sweetheart

I Never Dreamed


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

Revelation

  I do not know who you are
 You talk three hours through a screen
 We did debate and spar
 Not ugly or mean
  
 We played with each other
 And talked and talked
 We enjoyed one another
 Our emotions not locked
  
 But what happened that very day
 You did not respond or communicate 
 You replied with nothing to say
 Causing me much frustration
  
 You sent a positive message 
 You missed me as a companion
 I thought we had a shot
 My plight was not a deep canyon
  
 I raced to see you
 To talk to you in person
 So much hope to renew
 Only to worsen
  
 You would not see me
 You would not talk
 Address my plea
 What a shock
  
 You did not want to come out
 And tell me your troubles
 And what this was about
 My apprehension doubles
  
 Why did you call the night before
 Why did we flirt and play
 Why did you spend 3 hours on the phone
 Why did you act like the good old days
  
 But I learned reality
 You came outside
 And said you were free
 And your position was clarified
  
 You did not see us long term
 You did not want to lead me on
 You were very definite and firm
 You did not want me as a pawn
  
 It was hard for me to listen
 I was denied and rejected
 Your tears did glisten
 I pleaded and objected
  
 Holding you tight
 You were so frail
 It was the end of the night
 And I took flight
  
 As I drove away
 I realized so much
 And knew it his way
 Our life would be dutch
  
 No more togetherness
 No more reliance
 No more dependence
 No more shared memories
  
 Two lives afloat
 In our own little ships
 Circling in a moat
 On our own trips
  
 The next day I realized
 We are good friends
 My memories prized
 And I wanted to make amends
  
 We can be pals and mates
 Open to conversation
 Definitely no romantic dates
 And no long term relations
  
 We can be kind
 And we can be heartfelt
 All a matter of the mind
 And the cards we are dealt
  
 Friends for life
 What does that mean
 Not husband and wife
 A future unseen 

People in Your Life

People in Your Life
 
People come and go
Part of our life
And it is so
Some through strife
 
Harder for some
To keep it together
Always so dumb
Bad or fair weather
 
Prideful
Arrogant
Selfish
Belligerent
 
To name a few
But more to ask for
If you care to view
Here are more
 
Life circumstances
Life traumas
Life illnesses
Life mysteries
 
All kinds of reasons
To be a jerk
In all seasons
To go berserk
 
How you act
Is how you are framed
Try to use tact
Or you get blamed
 
You cannot hide
For exceptionally long
Sooner or later you slide
You are not that strong
 
To keep it at bay
To keep it hidden
To keep it suppressed
To keep it smothered
 
Useless effort
Try to isolate
To be better
Is one trait
 
Force others away
So be by yourself
No one to play
Just pictures on the shelf
 
A lonely crutch
To protect your outbursts
People are too much
These are not unique firsts
 
Social distancing
Endless therapy
Countless medicines
Retreats and asylums
 
Doctors galore
Psychobabble
What a bore
Good for the rabble
 
But the worse cases
Must be dumbed down
See it in their faces
The emotionless frowns
 
Pump them with drugs
To make them acceptable
No longer thugs
Almost respectable
 
They might be slow
They might drool
They might be lazy
They might be dim
 
But they are tamed
They can be presented
And beautifully framed
Sat in the corner ornamented
 
I do not want to be dampened
I do not want to be unnoticed
I do not want to be a simpleton
I do not want to be devalued
 
But to live in peace
To live with immunity
To live it must cease
To live in unity
 
Cease the anger
Cease the explosion
Cease the banter
Cease the implosion
 
Make a choice
Or stay in a cave
And listen to your own voice
And be your own slave
