Words of warning wasted
on a hasty hell~bent heart
reckless it flies
it's eye on the prize
prudence plays no part

I've never seen the moon
been 2 yrs, maybe 3
he locked me in a dungeon
no satellite TV
tempted me with charm
flicked his ash & grabbed my arm
he said, you're my Sweet Pea
& I'm your lovin' hunk
2nd date he roofied me & shoved me in a trunk

‪Why is Mommy moaning
& where did Daddy go
do you think she hit her head
or maybe stubbed her toe
& why was she so frilly all dressed up in lace
& why was Daddy humming w/ a smile on his face
what is all that creaking r they jumping on the bed?

Shut up, said my Brother
they're fucking, Knucklehead

You're the smoldering ash
of the bridges I have burned

You're the lesson in the quest for love
revisited til learned

You're my melancholy memory
that only time can fade

You're the restless reminiscence
of mistakes my heart has made

I pledge you'll be safe with Junior
no first date dashes or opinion clashes
grant you his looks may not tempt
eyes of an insect
unshaven, unkempt
his odour distinct
halitosis is rank
& his old car
ain't up to par
he starts it with a crank

Will Springtime buds bloom anew
yrs rebirth for we 2
Will Summer’s sun warm r hearts
future bright ne’re tear apart
Will Autumns breeze get behind
October stroll hands entwined
Will winter’s fury find u still
stood by my hearth & side
or be wanderlust heed the call
& see u leave here aft the Fall

've never seen the moon
fail to appear
the power in it's keep
assures it's always here

I've never seen the sun
refuse to share it's heat
rises every dawn
a constant there to greet

I've never seen the trees
greedy with their shade
all above are absolutes
Mother Nature made

I've never seen the moon so bright
as it is tonight
saw a face that resembled
an ex not great
no longer associate
power of smitten
ends when bitten
I don't miss going down with that ship
too old for a broken heart
time for a broken hip

I know you know how
little bend, not quite a bow
now stretch out your arms
and next you steady your feet
then put down the toilet seat

Oh to be a bear
hibernate all Winter, cozy in ur lair
Oh to be rich, cocky with ur worth
ur kids would be set by nature of their birth
Oh to be young w/ yrs still to go
no thoughts of mortality time goes by slow
Oh to be contended happy w/ ur lot
no need to envy the things that u aint got

Your subtle mention
grand oasis by the sea
I'm on a pension
not much income here to see
yet I still live happily

Here are some things you won't know about me
I love to sing, albeit off key
I have a sixth sense I can usually read ya
don't stand still too long or I'll probably feed ya
I need to keep busy I'm rarely lazy
I think sane is boring I much prefer crazy

Dare not we clash
and leave a scar
our web of lies
bears fruit no more
prayed to fate, come sublimate
forgetting just how rough the wait

Monday morning. One hour late
this marriage needs to sublimate
he makes it rough and hard to leave
such an angry web he weaves
a moody bear, won't let me dash
daily squabbles, we curse, we clash
a wasted life as this asshole's wife

Venus asked of Neptune
Why are u so blue
Dare not tell me
tell Mercury, she's innermost to u

I've given Saturn back his rings
his cheatin' caprice is thru
Found he & Mars parked in a car
interstellar whoo hoo
I yelled, It's over, Knucklehead
Then I slapped Mars & she turned red

The weight a handful of fireflies
is akin to a mere few wallets
the effect is nil
that is until
millions bandy as one
such capitalistic fun
then the nasty powers that be
react most greedily
caprice in their fleece
and quickly get our bidding done

He calls up fat pigs
horse face
nasty
Pocahontas
he's groped and grabbed our pussies
says he takes us when he wants us
no it's not a prisoner
or a low life on the street
somehow he's the president
the slimiest you'll meet
