Your future needs you...

 

Some
anonymous
somebodies
may have
already said
"it" better than
the rest of us
who've been
trying to be
the next
brilliant
someone to
amaze us all.

Advice from Jack London...

Via the generous mind of Rob F.  

Selective understanding...

pick and choose
easy, hard
here, gone
today, yesterday
loud, quiet
solo, with
mine, yours
give, take
growing, old
build, destroy
disrupt, contribute
satisfied, not
begin, end
tomorrow

Just because...

 

Be your
own kind
of
beautiful.

Make a liar outta me...

I say
you don't love
me.
I say
it doesn't matter. 
not
now or ever.

 

 

Gesundheit...

may you continue
getting older
wiser
happier.
content
in yourself
who you know
where you are
why you are.

 

wise words...

"Don't let your struggle become your identity."   Unknown

 
 

rumble and flash...

 

thunder growls
in between blinding sheets
of lightning.
they tussle with
each other to see
which one will
get the last word
this time.
Rumble me timbers,
matey!

It seems...

time goes faster
every year.
Is it trying
to catch up
to make up
for lost time?
Wouldn't it be
better
to have time stand still?
Take a breather.
Look around.
Gather itself
to ponder the moment.
Who's in charge
of the current process?
Let's set up a committee.
Can we take a vote?

 

Since you said "Please"...

 

 

*do you know what I like about you?*

**I can't imagine.**

*Everything.*

Vincent van Gogh (Dutch 1853-1890), Cypresses, 1889, Oil on canvas - “It is good to love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is well done.” Vincent Van Gogh

K.I.S.S. ...

write
the way you speak.
makes sense
don't you think?
writers
want readers
to understand
not have to guess
what's
being said.
speak clearly
the first time
then there's
no need to repeat. explain. define. stammer.
or wonder.

Keep it simple, sweetheart.

ripe old age...

there are times
when remembering
the few fine yesterdays
makes me smile
because they were. 

gimme a reason...

 

 

A little levity, please...

 

 

New American Digest is kind enough to post some of my "stuff"
sometimes. Today DT picked one of my own favorites. Go see.

 

Let me look...

sit still now
so I can
memorize
your beautiful
handsome face.
then I can
see you
even when
you're not here.
for a moment,
It'll feel like
you never left.
