hits to the core of everyone who has felt the emptiness of being left alone.....expressed very well....

fairy tales seldom come true, that damn tooth fairy still owes me three dollars....

yes "true" mothers do, where have they all disappeared to......seems like that responsibility continues to be shifted around far too much these days, and what of the fathers......someday we'll get back to the basics, here's hoping.....God Bless those who continue doing it right or at least attempting to.....

nice stuff, welcome back

It's hard to drink when the sun is here
The nightmare hits home so does the fear
I sit and write, just another poem wrote
The blood pours long, right from my throat

^interesting, I've always wondered what makes people drink excessively, the guilt or the fear or maybe both.....enjoyed.

I have two favorite songs of all time

Zoom, by the Commodores
Deja vu' by Teena Marie

an awesome singer, her and rick James did the damn thing with Fire and desire

Our enemies are not several hundred thousand miles away. They are right here in front of us."

^now there's a great truth.....

always one of them holding me tighter..and I force myself to turn away...

^ahh those built in defense mechanisms, we cling to them far tighter then anyone could ever hold us, and yet for some odd reason they give us strength and make us even weaker at the same time....Hoping the New year brings you more joyful times....

some things belong on a hallmark Plaque.....I'd seriously consider this one of those....nice

a great message to always leave behind a positive influence in all those you come in contact with, the world would be a much better place if we all held such a sentiment dearly.....enjoyed.

something Muhammed Ali used to make sing......something Mike Tyson had no tolerance for, and something Bruse Lee used to kick with his feet insted of hit with his hands.....It's a great exercise and helps relieve frustration, but I'll take the heavy bag any day.


The Greatest

the pain, multiplied by "two"....harp on the memories you made and shared, though they can never be compared...cyber hug

sad that most things in our life time end up in boxes, including us...I think I'm gonna go see a taxidermist:)...I hate closure.

as usual, gripping thoughts

Frosty The Snowman

Stark bitter cold
windblown emptiness
chilly smile, a child's facade
a carrot that never breathed
branching arms never to hold
the warmth of summer

every winter he watches
from blackened eyes of stone
abuse from another life
seasonal thoughts of Remembrance
haunting echoes from long ago
his suit made from frozen tears

Night has fallen
and as the world sleeps
he dreams of a heart
a compassionate embrace
sadly he weeps
for the sun has shown......

I so love your style, the two line stanza's work well for you and your topics always have that continual flow......Nice

what is it that people do that gets you annoyed???

^racism materialism and people who think they are better than others. Greediness and vanity.

nope what you see is what you get I'm the same a.s.s in person as I am on here a no bull approach to life and living it....you see I have to be that way, my earlier years were spent being someone I wasn't and I lost myself and it took forever to get back to who I should have been, never again....

I would speak to them about it....but these days you don't know what kind of reaction you will get

^true story, went into a donut store once, there was a child in a stroller sitting out on the curb facing the street where the bus pulls in, I walked in the store and asked who the child belonged to, a woman said me, why?..."don't you think you should keep him with you, I said your back is to him, his wheels aren't locked, he could be snatched or roll inot the streets, she went beserk, f-u such and such, don't tell me what to do with my child, I should call my boyfriend and have him whip your a--...I gave her my phone and said call him, he'll probably whip your a-- for treating his son that way.....but that's mild compared to some of the way these kids are treated.

yes a huge problem today, the inner cities are even worse, kids going to the chinese stores at all hours of the night alone....Speaking of neighbors, remember when everyone on the block knew everyone on a first name basis and all the kids were invited to each others birthday parties...Good luck with ever seeing that again.

what's to disagree with, yes we must allow them to cradle their youth, but rear them to grasp what they will face upon becoming adults.....it's all part of the nurturing process, they may disagree with it, but being prepared is essential to Being

One of the main problems in society today is people are no longer held accountable which includes the children as well.....Giving them some responsibilty is not only a learning tool, but also helps them understand and grasp a work ethic.....Sometimes I wonder if the child obesity problem within society could be lessened by going back to the "old school" ways, where children had things to do instead of playing video games and being in front of the TV and computer all day. We tend to give them what they want, when they want it, it stems from the guilt of not spending quality time with them, or we can't be bothered.....Good post.....

go to the bar and dance on the pool table...., but remember to keep your clothes on, you're not there to work...lmao
