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

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

Ferocious Tide

 Why do I grieve
 Gave it my all
 Rewarded with a reprieve
 To stand alone and tall
  
 Reprieve from stress
 Walking on eggshells
 A game of chess
 With no wedding bells
  
 More money
 To spend everyday
 Milk and honey
 Spend it my way
  
 Travel the world
 Sights to see
 Twirl and whirl
 I am free
  
 Drugless
 My mind works
 I must confess
 These are perks
  
 Write my rhyming verse
 Create and produce thought
 I have beaten the curse
 No more brain rot
  
 Not drugged dumb
 As a mindless ghoul
 I have overcome
 The ceaseless  drool
  
 But is it all that great
 To have all this
 Without a mate
 To hug and kiss
  
 This is why I mourn
 I have lost my buddy
 Our love torn
 My heart muddy
  
 I am so conflicted
 So many upsides
 I am unrestricted
 But a ferocious tide
  
   So may extremes
 A passionate obsession
 I had so many dreams
 And a confession
  
 I miss her
 She was unique
 A sweet liqueur
 An aura of mystique
  
 There will be no one like her
 No one to replace our fun
 I miss being her chauffeur
 But we are done
  
 She sees no need
 For a sidekick
 Independent and freed
 She is her own chick
  
 And this is life
 Not very equitable and fair
 Without a wonderful wife
 And a journey to share
  
 A treacherous fate
 To be alone
 Which I do hate
 Nearing my gravestone
  
 No reason to seek
 Another to share
 I am past my peak
 Along with my wear and tear
  
 Enjoy the positives
 And all their good yields
 Eliminate the negatives
 And their battlefields
  
 Slow down
 Stay true
 Do not frown
 Or turn blue
  
 The easiest way to enjoy
 What time is unexpended
 Be good and a kind boy
 As God intended
