THE NIGHT STORM

The howling wind  …. rattles the doors
The windows quiver, it’s starting to pour
It’s dark and eerie, I pull down the shades
I feel somewhat nervous, and somewhat afraid.

A flash of light with each bolt of lightening 
The roar of thunder …. so loud, it’s frightening 
The rhythmic taps on each window pane
Down it comes … the sleet and  the rain. 

The curtains ….. a shield, a layer, a mask
Cover each window, no pullbacks or sash
Hoping the rain does not flood the street
The lake is rising…. as well as, the creek. 

Creatures now burrowed deep in the woods
Would help them find shelter, if only I could
It’s going to be scary, a dark, windy night
Hope it stops raining, before morning light. 

My flannels, my  blanket and a hot cup of tea
All that I want or currently need
Praying the storm will quickly pass by
I await the return of the clear, mountain sky. 

Hoping the creek does not overflow
And, the sleet and the rain ….. don’t turn into snow
The wind will die down, eventually 
It soon will pass by, I have faith … I believe.

MOVING ON

Out in the cold
She’ll leave you there
She’ll never look back
Cause she doesn’t care. 

Status and class
A wrung on the ladder
Always  looking for something 
Something else that is better.

Money, desire
A car that she  wants
A seat at the table
A new restaurant. 

Out with the old
In with the new
Once she gets bored
She’ll grow tired of you.

Time to move on
She’ll  find someone else
She’ll turn on the charm
Doesn’t need any help.

Hard to keep up
She has A D D 
You’ll do your best
But, she’ll want to be free.

Don’t blame yourself
If she’s somewhat distracted
She won’t sit and wait
She is very proactive.

She gets what she wants
Whatever it takes
Her interest is money
How much do you make?

Could buy you some time
A month maybe two
Once, she is ready
She’ll get rid of you.

CLOSED MINDED

I’m sad and I’m frustrated
I can’t get through to you 
You’ve crossed the line, you’ve closed your mind 
Don’t want to hear the truth.

Once a faithful, devout Catholic
Now following TV evangelists
The programs that you’re watching
Promote White Christian Nationalists. 

You’ve become a willing participant 
You refuse to see the light
Convinced by TV preachers 
What they say is always right.

Were you not a fan of Charlie Kirk?
He himself warned you about Netanyahu 
He is considered by most a war criminal
But, you  believe only what you want to.

The obliteration of hospitals , apartments and schools
Was not at the hands of the terrorists…Hamas 
Bibi Netanyahu was the one responsible 
He wanted Palestine… at any cost. 

He’s used the conflict with Hamas as a reason
Convinced you and others, but it was him all along
He’s attacked the people of Palestine 
What he is doing is ethically wrong. 

Long before the kidnappings by Hamas
He and Trump had made a pact
Trump supplied money and weapons
They wanted the land and that’s a fact. 

In war there are rules of engagement
It’s known what can or cannot be touched
Bibi Netanyahu ignored those rules
and regulations 
Because he wanted their land so much. 

Bibi will step over anyone
For power, money and position
He is not a man of God or faith
Please stop what you’re doing and listen. 

The heart of the Palestinian Nation
Is under the rubble, being left for dead
Bibi withheld food, water and medical supplies
That’s what your own Charlie Kirk had said.

It’s believed the Israelis killed Charlie
He was killed for telling the truth
Money funneled between the U.S. and Israel
Is being supported by people like you. 

The plan is to take over Palestine
The holy land will become a resort
Nothing is going to stop them 
No magistrate or criminal court. 

The plan was conceived  over two years ago
Just ask Jared Kushner, Trump’s son in law
Stop fantasizing about your religIon 
It has nothing to do with it all. 

The Palestinians have a right to their own land 
They’ve been uprooted because of money and greed
The land that  Jesus once walked upon  
Will become a golf course, wait and see.

A note about the small boats out of Venezuela
Trump has given the order to blow them to bits 
No Legal “Search and Seizure”
No…. Trump wants no part of this.

Blood’s on his hands and in his heart
Are you also on board with this?
God did not condone cold blooded murder
Which, my friend ….is just what this is!

You’re told it’s about drugs and drug dealers
I say it’s about oil on their land
Trump wants to invade and conquer
He has an ulterior plan.

Don’t fixate on simple explanations
Don’t believe what they want you to
Just look at what they are doing
Is this really what Jesus would do?

THE PSYCHIC

Say…. what’s your spirit animal?
Are you a Capricorn?
Got a hunch, a feeling
Think I  know … where you were born. 

Some say that I’m a  psychic
I have visions in my mind
Could be hallucinations 
Of a very special kind. 

I see you with a woman
She has long, red, wavy hair
Standing in the garden
Do you remember being there?

She was planting purple crocuses 
While you played in the dirt
You had on …your overalls
She wore a crimson skirt.

Your dog sat right beside you
His name I can’t recall
Was it “Rex” or maybe “Buster”? 
Yes, I think you called him, “Paul”. 

The young girl turned and looked surprised
Yes, she called her dog…. “Sir Paul”
How could the woman know this?
Was she psychic, after all?

“But, I am not a Capricorn
You didn’t get that right”
Could be …. you’re on the cusp, my dear
But, I’m not here to fight. 

You called the woman, “Memaw”
I can see … she has your eyes
She was tall and thin just like you
She sang you lullaby’s. 

The young woman took my hand in hers
Please, please …. please tell me more
Is she up in heaven?
Do you know she’s safe, for sure?

Yes, she’s happy , but she misses you
She didn’t get to say … goodbye
Wants you to know that she’s alright
And, was at peace the day she died. 

Sends her love and admiration
For the woman you’ve become
She wants you to be happy
To rejoice and to have fun.

A vision doesn’t last too long
The woman politely explained
They come and go , they’ve been
and gone
Bringing sunshine with the rain.

Today…. a celebration
With a  message to convey
You really should be happy
Though your Memaw went away.

She is resting, she feels grateful
For the time she spent with you
Hold tight to all your memories
That’s all you need to do.

CAUGHT….

Thrown under the bus
Turfing the blame
Who is at fault?
The name of the game.

Afraid to come clean
The panic sets in
You’re in denial
Wasn’t me…it was him.

Over the top
Out of control
Nothing you’re selling
Will ever get sold.

Egg on your face
You’re caught in a lie
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide.

Stop what you’re doing
Time to fess up
You should know better
Don’t try and blame us. 

Stop finger pointing
Own up, tell the truth
Admit that you did it
We know it was you.

COMFORT FOOD 

A bowl of soup
To calm your soul
Comfort food
Served hot or cold.

Ice cream, cake
A cup of coffee
A box of candy
Truffles or toffee.

A cup of hot chocolate
With cream or Fluff
Some Mac n cheese
Might be enough.

A tummy full
Eases the mind 
Clears your thoughts
Erases mine. 

A root beer float
French fries, perhaps
Some grease, some sugar
Can make you fat.

Chips on the couch
With TV on
Some onion dip
Your cares…. be gone!

Crumbs on the cushions
Some on the floor
If you feel sad
Just have some more.

Take to the bed
With Cheetos and Coke
Don’t eat too fast
You don’t want to choke.

A sugar coma
 Sadly induced
Too many carbs
Not good for you. 

A breakup, a breakdown
The loss of a job
A bad interview
Or a date with a snob.

You got it covered
Relax, take it slow
Order some pizza
With meatballs to go.

HAPPENSTANCE

A once in a lifetime 
A look, a mere glance
A moment so rare
Was it happenstance?

Your hand in mine
In rhythm, in sync
Captured, conveyed
In a smile, in a blink.

Standing so close
The look in your eyes
The heat of desire
Temperatures rise. 

Your lips upon mine
The longest slow kiss
Nothing so deep
Nothing like this.

Charmed, elated
Brought to my knees
Begging for more
More than a tease. 

Dreams of forever
Hoped it would last
Time passing by 
A little too fast. 

Seizing the day
Holding on tight
Every hour
Of every night. 

A treasure, a blessing
A gift from above
There in the moonlight
We fell in love.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN (A Re-Post)

Happy, Happy Halloween
To scary ghouls, who make us scream
With terrifying sights and sounds.
Such horror lurks, below the ground.

Arise, prepare to shock and scare
The unsuspecting, if they dare
To walk alone from door to door
To beg for candy, treats and more.

The witches wait, beneath the moon
For kiddies who will pass by soon
The cauldron bubbles, the night is young
All Hallow’s Eve has now begun.

Looking for the perfect treat
A small one passes on the street
The smell of candy’s in the air
A traveler yes…. without a care.

Snatch him up, don’t let him go!
The moon shines bright, on those below
The ambers burn, so hot the cauldron
So sweet the flavor…. of little children.

A thankless boy, you best be not
For fear, you’ll end up in the pot
A little boy makes such fine cuisine
For goblins, freaks and other fiends.

Best to learn, to stay in groups
Don’t wonder off, your neighbor’s stoop
Say “thank you”, when a treat is given
By the dead, or those still living.

CONGRESS

57 vessels to date
People indiscriminately killed
No compassion or discretion 
No one’s questioning his will.

Human life of little value
No empathy, no heart
The boats and all its passengers
Completely blown apart.

He ‘s a bully, he’s a madman
He’s evil to the core
He is toying with Venezuela
Cause he wants to start a war.

Anything to stay in office
Another four more years
He has no plan to walk away
His message…. loud and clear.

He’s intent on having his way
He’s a demon, he’s a liar.
He’s tearing down the White House
Building up his own empire.

No regard for laws or values
He is soooo….. out of control
Wants total domination
It’s his focus, it’s his goal.

Other nations are astounded
Can’t believe their very eyes
Why would you let this happened
Can you tell us, tell us why?

You’re in Congress for a reason
What about your constituents?
You’re there to represent us
Not to do just what he wants. 

He’s a felon, he’s a psychopath
A malignant narcissist 
He’s led you down a rabbit hole
Aren’t you tired of this?

You took an oath of honor
To uphold, to tell the truth
To represent the people
So, what are you going to do?

A THREAT TO MANKIND

Pull back the curtain
See for yourself
This man is a monster
In love with himself.

Bent on destruction
Abhorrent misuse
The quest for power
The ongoing abuse.

Thrives on conflict
Seeking revenge
Loves litigation 
It’s all about him.

The money, the power
It’s gone on too long
The killings, the murders
Something’s gone wrong.

The shake downs, the bribes
The collusion, the threats
He’s not going to stop
Don’t ignore what he says.

Withholding files
After Epstein is killed
Bondi protects him
She’s his cover, his shield.

Without approval 
He destroys the east wing
Does whatever he wants
He controls everything. 

Rogue and unbridled 
A threat to mankind
Thinks he’s a king 
He is out of his mind. 

A planned genocide
Don’t you understand?
He and Netanyahu 
Destroyed the holy land.

They bombed hospitals and schools
They  murdered innocent women and
children
They massacred and violated
Yes, in cold blood …. they killed them!

If you have any amount of decency
Respond for heaven’s sake
Put forth  Articles of Impeachment 
Before, it is too late.
