Let’s get together for coffee
What do you think? Is that okay?
We’ll meet up when you get off from work
I’ve got tickets to Saturday night’s play?

I’ll order you a Caramel Macchiato
You won’t have to wait on line
I’ll order coffee for the two of us
It will save us both some time.

You walked in shortly after I got there
Your hair was windblown and long
I saw the smile that you gave me
I knew then that I wasn’t wrong.

I had a feeling that you felt the same way
I was glad we were on the same page
I was happy you agreed to meet me
And that our seats were so close to the stage.

The evening that I planned was perfect
Perfect because I was there with you
Sitting there with you beside me
My dream had at last … come true.

THE OLD PORCH SWING

Sitting together out on the porch
Sitting on the old porch swing
Makes me remember days gone by
The smell of honeysuckle in the spring.

Fresh baked bread sitting on the counter
The kitchen always toasty warm
Sweet memories of days gone by
Days spent out on the farm.

Fresh eggs straight from the hen house
The chickens running free range
The pigs, the goats, the critters
We gave them each a name.

The kitchen table was built by hand
The kitchen, the place for our gatherings
My baby brother in my mother’s arms
All the children happily found clamoring.

Daddy’s plate the first to be served
Mama’s homemade berry jam
The milk being poured straight from the cow
And my sister petting her baby lamb.

The screen door slamming all day long
We’d all sit down to eat together
When it was time for the family blessing
I knew that things couldn’t get any better.

The Zombies are coming
They’re chasing me
I need a newstart
I know you’ll agree.

A new town to live in
Far, far away
Where zombies and monsters
Aren’t looking to stay.

Gas up the car
Get ready to go
They’re on their way
They can walk thru the snow.

Nothing will stop them
Not snow and not ice
Don’t try to get close
Don’t think they are nice.

They’re half dead and hardy
They’re looking for food.
They want to eat us
They’re relentless and crude.

You’ll never outrun them
They keep on a coming
They never give up
They’re persistent and cunning.

So get into the car
Let’s get out of here
I think I can smell them
I think they are near.

Their bodies have rotted
You can smell the decay
We have to escape them
We must drive away.

Hurry don’t linger
There isn’t much time
They’re on our trail
And, not far behind.

Restart

A newstart, a new beginning
Going to get away from you
A new town, a new job
I plan to start anew.

Leaving all the noise behind
Your negative remarks
Going to protect myself
And mend my broken heart.

New friends, new adventures
I can turn my life around
I should have done it sooner
Should have left this half-baked town.

I’ll pack my bags tomorrow
Going to get an early start
Heading out, I won’t look back
I’ll drive till it gets dark.

Riding down the highway
Every town that I pass by
Helps me to forget you
And all your cheating lies.

Looking thru the rearview mirror
Puts a small upon my face
Your memory won’t linger long
It will be easily erased.

Dim

REPOST from my blog…… from February 1, 2018

Why must we do it with the lights on?
Can’t you see it hurts my eyes?
Perhaps I’m photosensitive
I know I’m not just shy.

Why I have done it on a table top
On the beach and in the back of a car.
I bet if you’d just dim those lights,
You’d be impressed with me, by far.

Maybe we should try it in the bathtub
With some candles burning bright
Perhaps you’d think it was midday
And the mood would be just right.

For me, I might prefer a blindfold
A little prop to induce the mood
Maybe then I’d think it was midnight
As you gazed upon me nude.

Why must we do it with the lights on?
Because it’s your bed, your house, your way.
And me? I’m too submissive,
Have to do just what you say.

Battered and bruised
So stressed and anxious
Unsure of myself
Seething with anguish.

Frightened and unsure
Just can’t let go
Coming apart
So little ego.

Brought to my knees
Stripped of my pride
Doubting my worth
Broken inside.

Bullied and hazed
Being put down
Made to feel worthless
When you are around.

But, it’s time to change
I’ve had enough
Going to fight back
Going to stand up.

Pushing back
Hard as I can
Going to keep at it
Till you understand.

Not going to take it
The bashing, the stress
I’m telling you now
I want out of this mess.

Stay where you are
Far away from me
You need to stand down
That’s how it will be.

I’ve found my center
I’ve found my core
I have no use for you
Anymore.

I’ll be there
I told you I would
I’ll be there after work
My word is good.

I’ll be there at seven
I’ll take a cab
Please stop crying
Please don’t be mad.

You know  I’m coming
If I say it, it’s true
I wouldn’t say it
Wouldn’t do that to you.

What are you drinking?
What can I get you?
Let’s order something.
We really need to.

How about a macchiato?
It’s your favorite, right?
Let’s try to be civil
I don’t want to fight.

We can talk it over
Though nothing’s changed
It’s just not working
It’s not the same.

We’re on different paths
I want  more
You’re not even trying
It’s the same as before.

The sex is great, yes
But that isn’t all
I need a partner
Who won’t drop the ball.

I’m running ahead now
You’re two steps behind
The pace is too slow
And, I’ve changed my mind.

You don’t see it
I’m not casting blame
But our purpose and goals
Just aren’t the same.

Please let me go now
It’s the end of the line.
It’s time to move on
We’ve run out of time.

Premonition

I had a feeling
A premonition
Call it a hunch
An intuition.

She was a girl
Someone at work
I saw her there
I saw her first.

She had a way
She seemed so kind
I just knew
That she’d be mine.

We met for coffee
On our first date
I was excited
I couldn’t wait.

We saw a movie
Or maybe two
Before I said
“I love you”.

Now we are married
We have three kids
I don’t regret
Just what we did.

I was right
And she’d agree
She was the one
The one for me.

Beyond the clearing, there in the woods
Walking through, I tried as I could
Not to disturb the hidden creature
I knew he was one hell of a screecher.

I saw him peeking from inside the thicket
I heard a sound, I thought was a cricket
His eyes were glassy, his teeth were green
He was the strangest creature, I’d ever seen.

Pointy ears and upturned nose
Legs like a deer with funny orange toes.
He watched from afar throughout the day
Never getting too close, always staying away.

My secret desire was to see a unicorn
Rumor had spread that one had been born.
Could it really be? I thought curiously
I really hoped that I’d get to see.

As darkness approached, we knew we should go
It was getting colder and it started to snow
A light jacket was all that I’d been wearing
We had to walk back, to get to the clearing.

We headed out, no reason to run
The day was ending the night had begun
The creature wanted to be on his own
He wouldn’t attack if we left him alone.

Planned to return the very next day
Hoping that he would not run away
As long as we’re quiet, he would be too
He was afraid, afraid of us two.

Imagination

Was it your imagination
Or did you just see a gnome?
While walking thru the forest
On your way back home?

Did you see the fairy?
Did you see the unicorn?
The forest is enchanted
Did you see her golden horn?

There are creatures everywhere
In the shrubs and in the trees
They are all so friendly
It’s so easy to believe.

The creatures are all magical
They can make your dreams come true
They can turn your hair from brown
Into a shade of blue.

Candy is their specialty
JuJubees or sticks of gum
Chocolate covered peanuts
Enough for everyone.

Meet the princess of the forest
She’ll invite you in for tea
She’ll serve periwinkle sandwiches
She’ll treat you graciously.

No need for you to be afraid
No need to be withdrawn
If you’ve no imagination
All the creatures will be gone.

Suspension of reality
Imagining and make pretend
Are the actions that are needed
To bring them back again.
