Alive

Alive

You are alive
Animated
A beehive
Exhilarated

Look at your face
You smile shines
Not a trace
Of worldly confines

Exciting
Titillating
Breathtaking
Electrifying

You captivate a room
So bubbly and fresh
A flower in bloom
Beaming outside your flesh

Everyone notices
They are drawn to your energy
Simply dazzling and amazes
Special mysterious alchemy

Your charm
Your power
Your presence
Your attractiveness

Everyone wants you
To steal your vigor
Because they are blue
Playing a fool and poor actor

You are spontaneous
So alive in your spirit
Your harmonious
With this grand merit

I want it too
Since I was fifteen
Constantly trying to renew
Feelings for a girl at fourteen

I have my chance
To suck her marrow
Maybe by happenstance
But I have climbed the plateau

And I am not coming down
To be a mere mortal
I am on here playground
And I too will be adorable

Who Is She

Who Is She

Happy
Gay
Enthusiastic
Optimistic

She is a lightening beam
Her own liturgy
I can only dream
So full.of energy

Why is she alone
No one has claimed her
She is not owned
By a mister or sir

Probably her choice
She is strong
With her own voice
She knows right from wrong

She wants a companion
Just like me
Who will not abandon
An attentive attendee

To life
To grief
To celebration
To sorrow

She wants comfort
So do I
She want to be unhurt
And not cry

She wants gaiety
She wants merriment
She wants playfulness
She wants levity

We all want this
We do much research
Along with a kiss
And we search and search

Giving up hope
This person will never be found
And I am no dope
To catch someone on the rebound

Please God give me a chance
To find love and contentment
Along with romance
And adornment”

Shift

Shift

Left to right
Forward and back
Dark to bright
Run to tack

There are many ways to go
And I must change
Do not go with the flow
I must turn the page

Leave Jackson
Do not be shocked
Viking or saxon
Not land locked

A new journey
Sailing away
Leaving absurdity
A new sunset everyday

My intent
My want
My plan
My desire

At sixty not too late
To transition
A new journey and fate
A grand ambition

But wait
Who is this girl
That I went on a date
Her hair has so much curl

I am smitten
By her beauty and enthusiasm
Maybe sailing is not written
She has to be an addendum

My plan b has crumpled
Moving to plan c
My arrogance humbled
I now can see

I want her in my life
And she makes me laugh
With no crazy strife
I want to be her better half

In this moment
In this time
In this minute
In this space

I will pursue her
Wanting to know if she is real
Not some imaginary blur
And my feelings are real

Sailing will be there
But I can not let this pass
I am chasing that wild hair
And this charming lass

There is so much opportunity
There is so much promise
There is so much compassion
There is so much expectation

Go all in
Do not miss the chance
I can only laugh and grin
A sailboat can not kiss or dance

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

Remember

 I remember
 When I was younger
 I was a member
 And did not hunger
  
 I was strong
 I was healthy and fit
 I sang a happy song
 I had my wit
  
 I did not worry
 For my health
 I was in a hurry
 To make my wealth
  
 This was my affiliation
 Make money and win
 Part of a capitalistic nation
 But this was a sin
  
 To chase money
 Forgetting the rest
 It was not sunny
 Much distress
  
 I wanted it all
 But pursuing wealth
 Created a great brawl
 Lurking with stealth
  
 Destroyed relations
 Forgotten friends
 Missed donations
 Not making amends
  
 Strained relationships
 Desensitized to everyone
 Emotionless trip
 Kindness and empathy none
  
 Emotions scattered
 Health in ruin
 Definitely battered
 Ready to be done in
  
 Life falls apart
 Little by little
 Leading to a bad heart
 So brittle
  
 But I am an associate
 Paying taxes and voting
 A member of our capitalist state
 But I am not gloating
  
  
 I forgot the truth
 I forgot the guidelines
 I forgot the nursery rhymes
 I forgot the wisdom books
  
 A wealth of knowledge
 I learned long ago
 I must acknowledge
 I did know
  
 Charity
 Forgiveness
 Compassion
 Moderation
  
 Why did I not
 Live a life
 That I was taught
 Without conflict and strife
  
 Was I needy
 Was I selfish
 Was I greedy
 Was I foolish
  
 Yes
 I can agree
 I made a mess
 I was privileged and free
  
 Why did I need more
 Why could I not be happy
 Why did I war
 Why was I snappy
  
 Who cares
 All that is gone
 Drop your airs
 Today is a new dawn
  
 Life is here
 And kind
 Listen and hear
 Open your mind
  
 To another earth
 One of jubilation
 Allowing a rebirth
 Out of damnation
  
 To a life of fraternity
 Remembering community
 Now and for eternity
 My new opportunity
