Dreaming's Art

He could see
that she loved him;

no, more like Idol Worship.

'You' she said
'are the Man of my Dreams
my Prince Charming.

Everything you touch
turns to gold
including me.

I laid down my heart for you
hand pressed my soul for you,
danced round your Maypole
like a young girl in spring.

You populated my every dream;
you in my eyes-

Get Him Back

One man, he'd disappoint me
He'd give me the gouge and he take my glee
Now every other man I see
Remind me of the
One man who disappointed me
Wait 'til I get him back
He won't have a back to scratch
Yeah, keep turning that chin
And you will see my face
As I figure how to kill what I cannot catch
So I say "and on I go"
To another one who disappoint me so, oh oh
The next one up
A contemptible snob
He lived to put things in their place
He did a commendable job
He put himself so low
He can hardly even look me in the face
Wait 'til I get him back
He won't have a back to scratch

The World Does Not Need My Poem

The world does not need my poem
Soon it will not need me-
A few people need me,
They will need me when I am not here-
I will disappoint them by not being here-
It is the last thing in the world I want to do
To disappoint the few who really matter-
But what to do?

I am just another human being
Another mortal on this earth
It is not given to me,
What is not given to anyone else
Even though I so much want it.

With Amenities Unexpected

Catch me as if...
You have awaited,
For someone to deliver...
Reasons for your heart to beat.

And I will not disappoint,
With amenities unexpected.

Fresh is the air I supply.
With morning Sunrises,
To captivate your dancing eyes.
And with each Sunset...
You will know each one comes,
Created just for you.

I will be all that you need,
Want...
And kept to feel desired!

Catch me as if...

Great God, I Ask for no Meaner Pelf

Great God, I ask for no meaner pelf
Than that I may not disappoint myself,
That in my action I may soar as high
As I can now discern with this clear eye.

And next in value, which thy kindness lends,
That I may greatly disappoint my friends,
Howe'er they think or hope that it may be,
They may not dream how thou'st distinguished me.

That my weak hand may equal my firm faith
And my life practice what my tongue saith
That my low conduct may not show
Nor my relenting lines
That I thy purpose did not know
Or overrated thy designs.

Prayer

Great God, I ask for no meaner pelf
Than that I may not disappoint myself,
That in my action I may soar as high
As I can now discern with this clear eye.
And next in value, which thy kindness lends,
That I may greatly disappoint my friends,
Howe'er they think or hope that it may be,
They may not dream how thou'st distinguished me.

That my weak hand may equal my firm faith
And my life practice what my tongue saith
That my low conduct may not show
Nor my relenting lines
That I thy purpose did not know
Or overrated thy designs.

Lonông Moan-Groanahs

You had requested,
Something short and sweet.
I am told I can leave a bitter aftertaste!
Thick and long on sweat.
And I do regret,
I am not a teamplayer...yet!
However,
I know I can deliver...
With a prolonged gratification.
May I still have an application?
Just in case the others disappoint.
And my 'joint' you wish to inspect,
For on location activities.
As a prospective client...
Of course.
My aim is to thrill.
And I am open to a six month trial.
Just in case the others disappoint.
And you'd like to see how things with me,
Work out!

Sometimes....All the Time Joy

Sometimes things go smooth and merry
Sometimes things go uncertain and scary
All the Time…Day and Night
All the Time…Joy is in Sight

Sometimes people disappoint and cuss
Sometimes we disappoint and fuss
All the Time…Day and Night
All the Time…Joy is in Sight

Sometimes answers are hard to find
Sometimes words are not so kind
All the Time…Day and Night
All the Time...Joy is in Sight

Sometimes life is a mystery
Sometimes life releases history
All the Time…Day and Night
All the Time…Joy is in Sight

“Finalist”… what NEXT?

This is the time we’ve all waited for
Now it’s here, standing before us all
What have you got to offer it?
How much have you acquired?
How much have you got to deliver?
The expectation is high; and your audience
You can’t disappoint, they‘re all you’ve got.

We all celebrate
It’s the time we’ve all waited for
Four years has come and gone
Sacrificing a lot to make it a reality.
But, it’s not all about now…
What about the future?

What next?
What will you do with all you have gained?
That wealth of knowledge should not be wasted
Come on, don’t be a part of the wasteful generation…
Now a GRADUATE, what next?

Some Trot Out From...

Some trot out from...
Bad relationships they're feeling.
Some trot out from...
Hints of misery.
And some trot out from...
The ones who disappoint them daily,
Bringing every ache and pain.
And everything that happens to them,
They wish you the same.
Taking up your time and patience,
Leaving nothing gained.
And wanting everything around them to remain the same.

Some trot out from...
Bad relationships they're feeling.
Some trot out from...
Hints of misery.
And some trot out from...
The ones who disappoint them daily,
Bringing every ache and pain.
