Delight in Our Company

Spring blossoms of mimosa tree
may wilt at touch of tardy frost
yet at the merest glance from thee
these withered blooms at once defrost.
For we are young our hearts are free
to celebrate this time not lost.
Come with me love, abide with me
to delight in our company.

With summer's warmth, the honeybees
bustle between flower and hive
from nectar they craft sweet honey
but sweeter still with you to swive.
This priceless time I spend with thee
tis that for which all mortals strive.
Come with me love, abide with me
to delight in our company.

In autumn congregations we
all celebrate at Harvest Fair
the providence of nature free.
We bind entwined with loving care
these precious moments we can share
for now and all eternity.
Come with me love, abide with me
to delight in our company.

With winter comes serenity
refuge from life's wearisome cost.
Though young we now, no longer be
fond memories glow of time not lost
those precious moments we can share
for now and all eternity.
Come with me love, abide with me
to delight in our company.

Manifest Destiny in Eight Lines

There's no place like home
and no business like show
and I think you will find
wherever you go:
That where there's been Westward
for good folks to Ho
what really happened
ain't the story you know.

Somewhere on a very lonely mountain top far from irony

Oh My Goodness, 'vegan' everywhere!
They couldn't stop with flowers, huh!
Vegetables, fruits, trees!
And now, Beer! too. *gulp*
What's next? Ourselves?
Look, at, those, beaches!
Sun and water, all day long!
They'll start photosynthesing, soon.

(apologies for all that punctuation)

I Can't Count on an Alarm...

I can't count on an alarm to wake me
From a night of heroin
As I lay there,
Needle in arm
Slowly bleeding out

Wife & kids in the next room
All excited for Christmas Day
House smelling like candy canes and...
Report Post
