The landing gear sounded faulty
Wondered when this plane was built
Probably thirty years ago
Need to tighten my seat belt.

Heard a screeching sound below
Had to pray we’d make it home
There was too much turbulence
I wish that I had known.

Budget flight, yes…. now I know
Next time I’ll fly UNITED
Their tickets were expensive
But for sure… I’m going to try it.

No movie shown, no special treats
Just a bag of old stale chips
Offered with a beverage of choice
That’s all that came with it.

The plane was bouncing all around
My soda can was spilling
Hoped that we could make it back
As long as God was willing.

Bumpity bump, the screech of the brakes
Reversing thrust and motion
Thankful we didn’t all end up
At the bottom of the ocean.

So much to be grateful for
I hugged the flight attendant
Thanked the pilot graciously
So glad this flight had ended.

Feeling so unhappy
Can’t control myself
Feeling so alone
Calling out for help.

Everyone’s too busy
No one takes the time
No one really cares about
This broken heart of mine.

Sitting here all by myself
Nothing I can do
I’m here day after day
Feeling sad and oh so blue.

Totally dependent
Can’t drive… I’m stuck inside
Can’t walk without my cane
Can’t catch a lift or ride.

Always have to ask
Like a beggar on the street
Too much for them to do
Someday they’ll be like me.

Painful bones and joints
So hard to get around 
Need to use my walker
If I ever get to town.

I’m bitter and resentful
No one  here to comfort me
No one for me to talk to
No friends or company.

Never thought I’d be alone 
I’ve been left out in the cold
Cast aside, and yes …. forgotten
It’s not easy getting old.

I can’t believe it
I’m sick inside
Though he’s convicted
He’ll do no time.

He is a felon
He broke the law
He should be punished
Was Merchan’s call.

Like all the others
He was afraid
He let him walk
He has it made.

Could have held him
Accountable
Instead he freed him
Incredible.

No rhyme or reason
Trump won again
He is a criminal
Among free men.

It’s the beginning
Of our demise
We cannot trust him
He always lies.

What kind of President 
Seeks revenge
He has no honor
He’s back again.

He is a felon
Should be in jail
The system’s broken
The system failed.

Horrific, insane
The fire raging through
Nothing can stop it
Not much they can do.

Houses destroyed
Family treasures are lost
Those in its path
Are intensely distraught.

Drought plays a  role
The landscape is dry
Some couldn’t escape
Some were hurt, some have died. 

The firefighters doing 
The best that they can
Fighting a blaze
Taking over the land.

A roaring inferno
Engulfing houses and cars
There’s smoke in the air
Clouds are dark, black as tar. 

Hot embers and soot
The crackling sounds
The heat so intense
It’s burning the ground.

Residents warned
Take all you can carry
This fire is destructive
Unimaginably scary.

Years to rebuild
What took years to acquire
Such destruction and damage
From a massive, fierce fire.

Prayers being said
Going to be a long night
The fire is still raging
It’s a battle .… a fight. 

Hoping by morning 
It hits the chill zone
Though the fire has a life
A will of its own.

Crushed and defeated 
Extinguished and squelched 
Send it back where it started
Send it straight back to hell.

At the club
Till 2 a.m.
Hanging out
With my best friend.

Danced all night
To Billie Eilish
She’s got moves
So sleek & stylish.

Hooking up
Intoxicated
One night stands
So overrated.

Met a girl
We had a drink
Said to me
What do you think?

Here’s my number
Here’s my name
Not into kink
Not into pain.

If this sounds
At all like you 
Then you know
Just what to do. 

Send a text
Make a call
Don’t get up
No need at all

Heading out
Heading home
Put my number
In your phone.

Adios 
Arrrivederci
You’ll be glad
So glad you met me.

Pure passion and lust
Don’t dare call it love
You want what you want
You can’t get enough. 

His gun’s on the table
He was a Marine
You’re poking the bear
He’ll come after me. 

Pathetic, unnerved
I always give in
The lure of the flesh
The weakness of men.

No guardrails or safety 
You come on so strong
I’m gonna get hurt
I know this is wrong.

Need to head west 
California .… LA
Maybe tomorrow 
Maybe today.

You’re always hot
I’m always cold
This same old story
Has been told.

They say that
Opposites attract
Some like dogs
Some like cats.

One is hungry
One is full
One is stubborn
As a mule.

Makes it hard 
To get along
When one is sure
The other’s wrong.

Fill the basket
Empty it
In awhile
Please let me sit. 

One is active
One is not
One is sober
One likes pot.

Once in bed
They kiss good night
Cuddle up
Till morning light.

So angry
Won’t forgive … forget
Been angry, since
The day we met.
 
Never been
One thing or two
Surfaces
Out of the blue.

Pricks and stings
Prods and pries
Like bumblebees
And, large horse flies.

Biting,  gnawing
All day long
You can’t escape it
Things go wrong.

Aggravated
Off the wall
You get so mad
Police are called.

Swearing, cursing
Hollering
Finger gestures
Quarreling.
 
No peace on earth
For you, my friend
Till you reset
And …. start again.

She walks away
Nothing to say
She rolls her eyes
Then looks away. 

Up and about
She’s getting dressed
Wondering why
She’s out of bed.

Combing her hair
Washing her face
Another drive-by
An unsolved case.

The thrill ….  the elation
The passion, the lust
Those carefree emotions
That used to be us.

Hit from behind 
No advanced warning
Broken, disabled
A sudden disarming.

No rhyme or reason
No cry for help
A needed diversion
With somebody else.

You’ve been down this road before 
Nothing new to you 
You’ll give in to what she wants
And yes ….. she knows it, too.

Promises, apologies
We both know they’ll come later
She’ll turn on you, she always does
That’s when you’ll start to hate her.

Don’t know just what you see in her
It’s never going to last
She leaves a trail of damaged souls
She has a sorted past.

She’s lying to her husband
She’s lying to you, too
She’s never going to leave him
But, still wants sex with you.

A physical attraction 
The perfect chemistry 
You know it’s an obsession 
Pure and simple, honestly. 

Excited and elated 
A well planned rendezvous 
But, when the night is over
Honey, she’ll be done with you.
