Goodness knows
I have enough
Material that is
For a book
A book with poems
All about my time
And thoughts of him.
It happens when
I am emotionally invested.
And then of course
Emotionally devastated.
But would it be worth it?
To share this with the world
And not just my blog?
To have folks see
How my heart
And mind react
And reside.
Once upon a time
Happy and near delirious
Waxing poetic about
So many things of his.
Then to switch to sadness
As he found someone else
More suitable and to his liking.
I already have one book
Dedicated to an infatuation
And rejection.
Would this be just
Another episode
Just another instance?
Should I just add
The word Another
To the title?
That seems appropriate.
So how about some feedback
What would you do?
John Quinones and his show
On ABC is interviewing you.
You can tell the truth
That it would be a waste
Of time for a reader
Or it might be of interest
Perhaps the words
Will have meaning
To some lovelorn soul
Someone with heartache
Taking it's toll
Can relate to my foibles.

Piece Of Work And Character A Poem

If someone is called
A piece of work.
What exactly does that mean?
The phrase conjuring up
A kind of labor whereby
One is by the piece
Not so much the hour.
But it's meaning has changed
Over the centuries
Having originated
In Shakespeare's Time.
Now it can mean
Someone who is difficult
Maybe eccentric
Maybe complex
Or it could be derogatory
And have a connotation
That is negative.
I prefer the term character
With maybe a qualifier.
"What a character!"
Is how we described my uncle
In his case it was
A whole host of things
Like that he was incorrigible
And a hustler.

No Kismet Moment A Poem

Perhaps I have already passed
Like a ship in the night
My other half
In other words
My soulmate.
It was a brief
And fleeting glance
At a grocery store
Or restaurant.
Would fate
And the universe
Be so cruel
To make it so random?
Do they get a thrill
Out of a kismet moment?
If it passes they
Are mad like Lucy
Taking the ball
To show their displeasure
Making up for her impotence
By denying the success of another?
They are showing you
That you will be denied
For the time for them to shine
In their actions divine
You dwindled away
Making them failures
In their attempts
To be matchmakers.
Yes, that could be it.
No kismet moments.
No serendipity encountered
It didn't take place then
So now it may never.

Gloves A Poem

With gloves,
Not that they were literal
But that is how
I need a man to
Treat me now.
This particular man
Got the memo
He adhered it
And I will tell you how.
We were supposed to have a date.
But I had some kind of headache.
We were going to go to the movies
To see the movie Yesterday.
But my vision was blurry
So I said would he mind
A rain check?
He made the suggestion
Of coming to see me
Bringing something
All natural for my headache
Instead of the medication
Which has nasty side effects.
He also thought of Ginger Brandy
As it would relax me
As well as be a little aromatherapy.
I might also say
That he offered to get me
Something to eat
As in my state I had little energy
To make a meal for myself.
He asked me what I wanted
Suggesting Pizza first
I said how about subs?
To which he replied sure
What kind?
I had thought of the Subway
Turkey and Guacamole.
I hadn't had one in a long time.
To which he replied, "fine."
He arrived about an hour later
With all the things in hand
He had said he was going to bring.
We sat at the kitchen table
And asked about the pain
In my head.
He made the comment
That it could be the weather
As there was a change
In the barometric pressure.
He fixed me a glass with
Brandy on ice.
He got me to relax.
He asked if I was hungry yet.
I said yes so I proceeded eat
Half of the sub.
Then he got up and put
The oil on my face
Massaging in where
I indicated was the pain.
We sat and talked
And the time passed
The time to go to the movies
Having gone by.
Then he said he wanted
To give me a facial massage.
But for that I had stand up
As he does it from behind.
It works wonders with
Facial pressure.
We did as he mentioned.
His hands working in
The oil from before.
It did seem like
The pressure was leaving.
Good bye! Au Revoir!
He said he could work
Out some kinks in
My lower back
If I would let him
Give me a back rub
With the same oil.
I thought about it
And said yes.
It had been so long
Since I had had such care.
I really appreciated it.
He came along when
I really needed someone.
He provided me with
Kindness, care
And understanding.
Which is the essence of
Treating me with gloves.

With My Finger Up A Poem

I would laugh.
Ha! Yes I will.
Laugh Ha Ha Ha.
A big hearty one.
A big guffaw!
As I tell myself.
It is all good.
The universe has a plan
Does it not?
Or is that Karma
Or some such philosophical thought.
But I may also seem
Demented to those
Who know me not.
You know what they can do?
I will be polite and say
Find a bridge and jump off.
Ooohhh that might actually
Be too harsh
Than simply telling them
To fuck off
With my finger up.

His Talent And Practice At Writing. A Poem

Is it okay to admit
That I am jealous of his wit?
That I think he is extraordinary
In fact I think it a gift
Bestowed upon him
By the Gods in Heaven.
But I also know that he
Works hard at his craft
That he has had much practice
In fact he had been
Doing it for the last
Few decades.
So yes a God given talent
Along with decades of practice
Make for the most brilliant
Items of writing.
He would brush aside
A compliment
As he is a humble guy
Which to me makes
The jealousy subside.
I can only marvel and appreciate
That he shares his writing
With the rest of us.
An ever thankful audience.

Wishing For A Duet Of Sensuality. A Poem

It's been wonderful
To share with him
Share thoughts
And feelings
And confidences.
He is so reasonable
And kind and caring
The advice he gives
Worthy of doctors prescription.
Without the fees inherent
In a doctor's visit.
How can I not wish
For more with him?
How can I not wish
For the greatest of intmacy
For our communication skills
Would make that a certainty.
We are two honest players
In a duet
Of sensuality..
How can I not wish
That he wishes the same of me?

A Glide Path To Sleep. A Poem

He told to get some sleep
He knew hard it had been for me.
Sleep has been among the missing
It was nearing the time
To send for a search party.
The scenario he mentioned
Of how when we would
Be spooning
How he would lightly
Touch and caress my back
He said it would be so relaxing
It would rival the effect
Of melatonin or Ativan.
But this would be preferred
As the side effects were less.
Ah yes! He talked me into it!
When we ever get together
I am looking forward
To his relaxation method.
I am also thinking
Of the before
How we became to
This spooning juncture.
I bet that provides relief as well
Putting me at ease.
Thereby providing
A glide path to sleep.

Big Big Changes A Poem

Big big changes coming down the road.
Big big changes in what I am going to do.
I have finally found the solution
To a few of my problems.
Now I can get back to work
On me and my progress.
You see when you don't feel well
When you are seemingly always
Feeling uncomfortable
Actually near to miserable
It is hard to keep a positive outlook
To keep going
In a forward motion.
In fact you are often stuck
And standing still.
So a solution has been found
I am feeling better
Day by day in fact
It seems I am improving
Like the summer weather.
Soon I will be back to normal
Which truthfully is not like most
As I dance to the beat
Of a different drummer
Than most folks.
I am telling you all this
So you may want
To wish me well
Give me encouragement
That I succeed
Where prior to
I had failed.
It was all about
That comfortable feeling
Being missing.
Since I am now nearer
To normal.
I can even picture myself
Achieving many more
Of my goals.

Burping A Poem

Burping Written in 2015
This is going to sound gross
To most folks
But I just cannot help
Burping when I drink
Certain beverages.
Seltzer water being
The biggest culprit.
I try to fight it
But it seems to have
A life of it's own.
It works like a charm
In bringing gas
To the surface.
Kind of like fracking
But in the human form.
I would like to say
Pardon me
Excuse my burping
In advance.
As I do like the feeling
That getting rid of
Can do to my stomach
I will say good riddance
To that!
And the old joke
Of it taking the elevator
Still applies.
For burps are seen
In a better light
That an emission
From the nether region.

I Guess A Poem

I guess my kisses
Were nothing special
I guess my caresses
Were not either.
I guess your entrances
And rhythm inside me
Were not at all
Remarkable.
I guess when you looked
Down on my face
And said I was beautiful.
I guess when you said
Just looking at my face
Turned you on.
It was something that
Could have been said
To anyone.
Any warm blooded woman.
I guess that is why
You found someone else
You thought more to
Your liking
I am not sure what she has
That I don't
But I will try to wish
You well.
But God almighty
Rejection hurts like hell
Especially when you thought
The person you were with
Was Mr. Wonderful.

My Friend's New Found Happiness. A Poem

Posted:Jul 5, 2019 1:03 am

My friend may soon
Find some happiness
A new woman
Is in pursuit of him.
Soon she will have
The lion share
Of his attention.
I have to admit
I will be somewhat jealous.
He has so much to give.
Less time will be
In the offing
For our wonderful chats.
But I know how
He has longed
For female companionship.
Someone with his heart
More than deserves it.
Which makes me admit
I wish I lived closer
So that I would be
The one providing it.

His Pros And Cons. A Poem
|
Posted:Jul 5, 2019 12:52 am

I need to make a list
Of pros and cons of his
It is hard because
I have to admit
Some of our problems
Were my fault
But even more
Is that I was wrong
To go so blindly
Be so head strong
And not see sooner
His discontent with me
But to be fair
It came out of nowhere.
That is why it was
Like being hit
With a ton of bricks.
His pros why mention them?
It is like torture
His cons
I can't even see them
I was in love
And when that happens
I am enthralled
And blind to his faults.
It might take someone else
Who is objective
To help me out.
I hope that help
Comes before too long
I am doing
A bang up job
Of beating up myself.
Self inflicted wounds
And bruises
While he
Doesn't have
A scratch on him.
