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.

TIME TO MOVE ON

It’s hard being without you
Nothing feels quite the same
I can’t help but wonder
Was it me …. was I to blame?

Things sometimes just happen
They’re not meant to be
Though I tried and I tried
You had stopped loving me.

Every secret we shared 
In the night, in the dark
Those intimate moments
Left such a deep scar.

The candlelight dinners
Your alluring, sweet charm
The wine and the music
Being held in your arms. 

The memories …. painful
Wish I knew what went wrong 
I sit here and replay
Our favorite song.

The nuance, the newness
When two people first meet
That energy surge
Feels so good, it’s so sweet. 

But, that dopamine high
Lasts for only so long
And, when it’s over
Things start to go wrong.

Time for a new hit
You look for that fix
Somebody new
Who can supply it. 

Some call it love
But, it never lasts
Once it’s all over
Off comes the mask.

What you thought was true love
Has vanished, it’s gone
You have to accept it
It’s time to move on.

MAGICAL

The butterfly’s wings 
So fragile, so meek
The image surreal
Breathtakingly sweet. 

I watch from the window
A moment in time 
I believe she is magical
A message, a sign. 

I stop what I’m doing
Fixating my gaze
Watching, admiring
Completely amazed.

Her journey …. astounding
One place to another
She often encounters
The rain and the thunder.

Under a leaf
A safe, brief respite
Waiting and hoping
That she’ll be alright. 

The new day is dawning
The sky…. a bit gray
While in the garden 
I watch her fly away.

STOP HIM

How dark and cold could he be?
Who actually fired the missiles?
Who got the order to explode
The island fishing vessel?

If drugs were being smuggled 
Why not move in, make an arrest
Approach their boats, search and seize
Instead they are now dead. 

Unlawful and immoral
The actions of a psychopath
Cold blooded murder, without knowing
Not aware of all the facts. 

The taste of blood and power
Has ignited his hormones
He thrives on hurting others
He’s evil to the bone. 

No threat to our nation
Nothing there for him to see
Wants to provoke Maduro
He’s got something up his sleeve.

No matter what he thinks or does
He has their full support
Republicans should be outraged
After hearing these reports.

He’s off the leash, running wild
No barricades, no safeguards
Congress needs to reign him in
Can’t tell what side they play for.

He’s demolishing the Whitehouse
Causing panic in our streets
He’s giving millions to other nations
While our country is in need. 

Pull yourselves together
Stand up to this madman
You have the full authority 
You can stop him, yes you can.

HOW DARE YOU

How dare you tear down the east wing
Build a ballroom in its place
You’re destroying years of tradition
You have no right, no class, or taste.

Ordering the demolition
Of part of the people’s house
If it’s not a crime, it should be
Wish that you would just move out.

No required building permits?
Exempt from the Preservation Act
No federal laws to stop you
Someone’s always got your back.

The rules and regulations 
Just don’t apply to you
The court gave you immunity
A crazy thing to do!

Million dollar donors
Throwing money at your feet
For a  90,000 square foot
Obscene monstrosity.

Have they read the Constitution?
Have they heard of emoluments?
You’re not supposed to accept gifts
Not while you’re president.

What’s with Apple and with Google?
What in turn do they expect?
Why would they give you money
To advance this vile project?

They are guilty, they’re enablers
Empowered by money and greed
Their goal to acquire your favor
While destroying our democracy.

So the rich will have their ballroom
Their tuxedos and evening gowns
They’ll be served expensive dinners
More than enough to go around.

In the image of Mar- a – Lago
The Whitehouse will soon be changed
It’s character and purpose
Will no longer be the same.
