Deep inside
The wound is deep
Can’t stop the pain
Or get to sleep.
Hit the wall
Hit it hard
Devastated
Torn apart.
Told myself
You’d see the light
That you’d want
To make it right.
Foolishly
I believed
You were the one
The one I need.
Secrets shared
So intimate
Now you shrug
You say, “So what?”
How could I
Have been so wrong?
You used me up
Strung me along.
Memories
A mere charade
Makes me cautious
And afraid.

I was merely temporary
There to fill a void
Someone to be close to
To help drown out the noise.
Said that you were lonely
Said we were meant to be
Said fate brought us together
Said you would marry me.
Told you all my secrets
My deepest darkest thoughts
Then I found her number
Guess you wanted to get caught.
Said that you were sorry
Said you made a big mistake
Said you’d always love me
But, then sent me away.
I was so in love with you
Gave up everything
Did the things you wanted to
Then gave back your ring.
True love’s not temporary
It’s meant to last forever
I was used, then cast aside
Cause you found someone better.
Don’t believe this was a lesson
Not what was meant for me
I believe I dodged a bullet
The day you set me free.

Nothing but a pot head
A stoner always high
Come on man , give it up
Gotta do it, gotta try.
Anytime day or night
You just wanna smoke
I find you dazed , eyes are glazed
You’re always high on dope.
Can’t have a conversation
Can’t get too close to you
Too relaxed, sitting back
You’ve smoked a joint or two.
Plowing through the Cheetos
You’ve had too many chips
When you gonna realize
Something’s wrong with this?
No true aspirations
You’d rather roll a joint
You ain’t going nowhere
You’ll never quit…. you won’t.
You play the same, familiar tunes
Comes easy every time
Nothing new, nothing from you
You’re lagging far behind.
With talent one could envy
Wasted…. nothing new
Tired of expectations
Nothing more that I can do.
Everyday …. it’s the same
The same …. year after year
Every time I look for you
I find you sitting here.

Candy and cake
Afternoon tea
Why don’t we meet
At quarter past three?
Truffles and mints
A pot of hot tea
An afternoon treat
As good as can be.
Let’s sit by the window
Too cold near the door
The seats are all cushioned
There’s tile on the floor.
Watching the people
Those passing by
Some look , awfully friendly
They wave and say, “Hi!”.
Gentle soft music
“SEND IN THE CLOWNS”
The mood is established
A lovely sweet sound.
A raspberry tart
Some hot apple pie
A pot of Earl Grey
And a cool autumn sky.
So glad we could meet
Let’s do it again
So happy to be
Such very good friends.

What’s on the agenda
A walk to the park?
We don’t have much time
It soon will be dark.
The boats on the river
Kayaks coming in
The sun’s going down
This day will soon end.
The leaves on the ground
Fall is upon us
My favorite season
I’ve loved it the longest.
The browns and the yellows
The crimson and rust
An array of patterns
Arranged just for us.
We sit on the bench
The cool Autumn breeze
A strong sense of peace
Comes over me.
My corduroy jacket
Hands in my pocket
The muskrat alone
Is making a racket.
The acorns have fallen
The squirrels scurry about
Stuffing their faces
Acorns in their mouths.
Preparing for winter
Now on its way
No time for kibitzingi
For fun or for play.
A ten minute walk
In the brisk cool night air
Heading back home
We soon will be there.

Oh my lord, what should I do?
I can’t bend down, put on my shoes
Pain in my hip, pain in my knee
Please tell me what is wrong with me.
Call the doctor, call the nurse
The number’s there, it’s in my purse
What could have caused this injury?
What in the world, has happened to me?
Throbbing pain from my hip
I didn’t fall, I didn’t trip
I’ve spent my days just like before
Nothing less and nothing more.
Doctor says, it’s just old age
Soon they’ll put me in the grave
What am I supposed to do?
I’m feeling sad, I’m feeling blue.
Painful joints, pain in my bones
I can’t help but whine and moan
There’s got to be a pill or shot
It’s killing me, it hurts a lot.
I think I need some therapy
Some exercise, not surgery
Looking for my heating pad
It’s just too much, I’m feeling sad.
Hope I’m feeling better soon
Lunch with a friend today at noon
Feeling old before my time
Will bring my cane, will drink some wine.
Can’t believe the pain I have
Waking up and feeling bad
Maybe it’s just temporary
Aging is so Stinking Scary!

Out of control
Circling the drain
Can’t make it stop
The fear and the pain.
“This too shall pass”
But, just don’t know when
It keeps right on coming
Again and again.
Over the top
Out of my mind
I need some relief
So tired of crying.
Nowhere to go
No sanction
My burden’s too much
Too heavy to carry.
Gotta lay down
Put up my shield
I’m overwhelmed
Need time to heal.
Looking for peace
Got to step away
Need time alone
To reflect and to pray.

You truly have a heart of gold
Never thinking of yourself
Always there to lend a hand
Always there to help.
Now angels wait beside the gate
To welcome you with love
It brings us peace… knowing you’re
Looking down from up above.
Free of pain and suffering
Loved by everyone
Two daughters who love and cherish you
Your husband and your son.
Your grandchildren send their love
They always will remember
The love you gave, your thoughtfulness
Your hugs so warm and tender.
No better aunt or mother
Cousin or a friend
Always there to love us all
Right to the very end.
Trinkets, treasures, paper dolls
You gave us everything
Anything to make us smile
You surly earned your wings
You’re an angel now in heaven
We’ll think of you each day
Bow our heads, close our eyes
As we knell to pray.
Blessings, our sweet NeeNee
We send you our deepest love
Among the stars, the sky, the clouds
In heaven up above.

It was something special
The chemistry felt right
I wanted to be near you
Get close to you that night.
I followed you…. so willingly
No caution lights appeared
Blindly giving into you
You said the coast was clear.
Nothing else could matter
I was bewitched, drawn to your charm
Consumed with being next to you
Being held tight in you arms.
Feathers, teeth and broken bones
All that was left of me
When you finally said, “ Goodbye.
You told me to go…. to leave.
Devastated, hurt, confused
Felt a stab right thru my heart
Would not survive this fatal blow
My world now torn apart.
She was tall, thin and attractive
Her key, opened your door
I stood alone across the street
I was replaced, that much was sure.
It was all too good to be true
A hard lesson to be learned
I played with fire until the end
Eventually got burned.
She drove a Maserati
She had a certain style
Had to be your beneficiary
Wondered if….she’d stay awhile.
Money, class and status
You were always wanting more
Someone who could buy your love
That’s all that you wished for.
“Money talks, nobody walks”
I’ve heard this phrase before
Had no idea you felt this way
Till you showed me the door.

The sun, a fiery globe, slips slowly into the horizon
The clouds part, darkness now imminent
The ending of this day …. marks the beginning of a welcomed revitalization
The ground hog burrows, as birds settle into their nests.
The day is done, a new day dawns.
Deadlines met, ideas reborn
The dogs, the cats ….. lie comfortably in their beds
Bring down the curtain, turn down the sheets… night has fallen.
Awaken, renew …. the sun begins to rise.
A glimpse of a fiery storm …. peeking out from the horizon
Where will this new day eventually lead?
No clouds in the sky …. alas, pure perfection.
The orange of the globe, against the waves of blue
Violet & indigo …. a mix of hues
The ideal of wonderment …. of reflection
Mother Nature offers a universe filled with miracles.
In astonishment, we look upon her radiance
With delight, we bathe in the heat of her rays
The rings of a tree, the ebb and flow of the tides, as well
Leave us enchanted, nearly hysterical.
