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
Tag: Life
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
My Old Friend
I missed you
My good friend
We can share a pew
And transcend
Transcend my feelings
My feelings of obscurity
In all routine dealings
Reducing my security
Fall left to right
Shift backwards
The sun so bright
Unable to say words
Where do you hide
In the summertime
Where do you reside
Rushing back time after time
To disrupt my life
Bewitching me
Causing such strife
Not letting me flee
Fleeing the troubles
Fleeing the nuisance
Fleeing the intangibles
Fleeing the assurance
Assurances of stability
Assurances of normality
Assurances of survivability
Assurances of congeniality
I become tired
I become annoyed
I become angered
I become destroyed
Hard to accept
This reoccurring crap
Not well kept
In this sinister trap
Trap of denial
Trap of betrayal
Trap of carnal
Trap of abnormal
This is not just
Give me relief
Can you adjust
And reduce your grief
You must
No other choice
Or you will rust
And lose your voice
Stay steady
Bulk up
Reduce your anxiety
Accept your cup
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
