Writers Bloque

AnthonyLeave a comment

Originally Published 04/26/2024

Don’t worry the words will come

Keep writing them all down

Using all fingers and thumbs

This isn’t your first go around.

🤯

Exercises and brainstorms

Still, they do not come

Stretching your brain clear it of worms

You’re still brilliant, not dumb.

🤯

Yet the paper is empty devoid of prose

Lonely and sad and without content

The right thoughts are just under your nose

Yeah, each one is crooked and bent.

🤯

The hours get later and later

And still, nothing arrives

Your frustration leaves a deeper crater

But your perseverance survives.

🤯

Now a mere trickle

Things start to come together

The block and mental pickle

Hopefully gone forever.

🤯

Your work is nearly complete

You never thought it would arrive

Writers block is never discreet

As some works, never survive.

🤯

The end at last, the time is now

You’re written work is finished

And You make a silent vow

Thank God your talent has not diminished…

Live and Learn As Long As I Can

AnthonyLeave a comment

Oh me oh my

Don’t want to die

Else I would cry

Life is too short.

–

Not time to go

I surely know

Still need to grow

Twist and contort.

–

Evolution

Revolution

Constitution

My last resort.

–

Learn more lessons

Make concessions

No regressions

That I’ll report.

–

Since in the end

My own best friend

Self care, my trend

Love is my fort…

Ocean Warmth

Originally Published 03/28/2024

soft beckoning fingers translucent blue greet me in the bright sunlight

–

cooling hot feet and instantly refreshing an overtaxed weary soul

–

gulls squeal overhead looking for something yummy or unguarded

–

opaque shapes don’t hide the sun as the warm breezes gently kiss

–

suddenly I inhale an entire grove of coconuts and she’s there

–

laying on a blanket bikini laden dark soft skin drinking up the sunlight

–

refreshment of her design in hand complete with umbrella and ice

–

sporting Jackie-O sunglasses and enjoying all life has to offer

–

legs trim and long and strong and beautiful bringing my mind to a place where pain doesn’t exist

–

she smiles a wry smile at me and as usual challenges me, I feel the shock as the cold water laps up my ankles

–

stepping ever forward I am washed in the spray of soft white foam the smoothly caresses my arms and legs as I enter

–

I duck and dodge a behemoth of a wave just as an airplane flies overhead affixed to the back, car insurance ads

–

it’s up to my neck now, be careful, many drown here that are younger and fresher

–

a helicopter juts by and I wave that I am ok as a wave slaps my face with its cold fingers

–

that slapped burned as the salt water swirls in my mouth and I spit it out

–

kelp, seaweed, aliens I am unsure what this stuff is but it entangles me just as the woman on the shore did

–

I grab a handful and chuck it away and await its magic re-emergence

–

I turn to shore and head in the direction of the woman as her coconut essence calls out to me

–

a warm smile greets me and warm lips as well just as a gentle ocean wind catches us both enveloping us

–

contentedness without limit, warmth without cold and desire without rejection…

–

The beach calls us all into her soft sensual arms.

Genesis of Creativity

AnthonyLeave a comment

Rhyme me a word

Neat, not absurd

Ones, never heard

Glorious work.

–

Using a form

Maybe not norm

Never conform

I never shirk.

–

Make something new

Much fun to do

Writing from truth

Ideas work.

–

Create magic

It’s not tragic

Style not static

It is my quirk.

–

All good tings end

Like this, my friend

My will can’t bend

As new thoughts lurk…

Poolside Refuge

AnthonyLeave a comment

Scorching hot day

A hot sun bakes everything

Cooking us all.

–

Pool, an oasis

Cool clean crisp waters

Combat the heat.

–

Sweat refreshing beverages

In tall glass’s with umbrellas

Fruit and rum.

–

Soft shady cabanas

Refuge from the hot day

And quite comfortable…

Married and Divorced to Ms Cruelty

Anthony1 Comment

She wouldn’t inflate his ego.

It just wasn’t her to be that kind.

She’d rather see him fall down.

As flat on his face as possible.

–

She wouldn’t let a single soul talk down to him

At the first word, she was a furious defender.

He mistook this for love and care.

In reality, putting him down was only her indulgence, and no one else’s.

–

She wouldn’t be intimate with him, ever.

She’d give every excuse from fibromyalgia to menopause.

He felt she was simply only attracted to his money.

He was right because she saved all her intimacy for her ex husband.

–

She’d instigate many fights at the expense of his dignity.

She’d mercilessly push him to his tipping point.

Then get mad at him for his reaction to her barrage of incendiary statements.

Then when he’d walk away to end the argument, she’d fire off another volley, a parting shot, “go pout”.

–

She didn’t care whether he lived or died.

His illnesses and complications from Diabetes were his problem.

Any symptoms or issue he experienced was all in his head.

She had the bedside manner of steel wool and the warmth to match.

–

Even when he left her she refused to be human.

Using the Ex grandchildren as weapons in her arsenal of cruelty.

She fought him tooth and nail for alimony.

Until he relented and paid her, a worthy price at any amount to be put of her life forever.

Beware, Moments Hesitate

AnthonyLeave a comment

Beware of the buggy wall.

Alpha numerics make for great soup.

Spaghetti code reads like stereo installation instructions.

The salty mist of a coastal breeze greets me.

Goats graze and dance in the afternoon breeze.

Moments hesitate more and more creating their own infinities…

Awaiting a Piece of Cake Baked

1:45 am.

Cafe Americano 🍽️.

Having the munchies.

–

It’s the edibles.

Which were consumed earlier 🍬.

Always make me hungry.

–

At the nighttime hours.

Hence this current sustenance 🍱.

Where is my waitress?

–

Sitting at the table.

Awaiting chocolate cake 🧁.

I hope it is worth it.

–

First sweets in a while.

I hope that my mouth won’t hurt 😖.

The struggle is real.

–

Four teeth were just pulled.

My mouth is so empty now 🙄.

I will get it fixed.

–

I made a promise.

That I will eat carefully ⚠️.

Now and forever.

–

My dessert is here.

It is chocolate goodness 🍫.

I now can taste bliss.

–

Or maybe not yet.

Perhaps they just baked it now 😋.

Oh wait it’s here now. 😉

Obsidian Delight

Obsidian beauty of dark delight let me love you and caress your tenderness.

Let me meet your warmth in turn with mine in a union of desire.

Hold me never let go and I’ll the share never-ending passion until the sun goes out.

Soft inviting lips beckoning soft touches with soft scarlet insides.

Tingles, tickle innards as a flock of butterflies fill a stomach.

Breathless, basked in their warmth, figures entangle with one another.

Knowing not where one begins and the other ends.

A rushing gush of pleasure washes over us as well gently collapse.

Into soft inviting surroundings never letting go of one each other.

Sunlight , basks her inviting features as the lucky lover takes her in.

Eyes never blinking for a moment making a mental etch of her stunning features.

Beauty such is this is typically reserved for the Gods, not mortals like I.

Luck is an understatement as the brilliant raven crosses the room cutting the distance between us all.

She’s mine for the moment and a small eternity can last forever.

With each kiss and touch, a piece of crimson narcissus falls away taking all pain and sadness that was in the wake…

Air

Become the wind

Moving and changing everything with a burst of energy

Flowing effortlessly with the breeze

Trees welcomely wave their tendrils

Floating lighter than air

Taking flight high above the earth

Warm updrafts lifting off

A gentle gust among a gale

Nothing is ever truly lost…

E-Dating Disaster

Anthony6 Comments

Originally Published 04/26/2024

Not quite here or there

Not quite anywhere

–

Different than most of the guys

Wishing one was easier on the eyes

–

Moulded out of a cast thrown away

Feeling more and more like it every day

–

Looking for Yang to the yin in the stars

Always coming up short as who we are

–

Dozens of girls chats and dates

Always leaving with empty plates

–

Excuses fakes and stories abound

Can an honest woman be found?

–

Eharmony and Yahoo dating too

Is anyone real looking for you?

–

Cook, pay, wine and dine as we meet

Yet finding a match is more like a fete

–

Frustrations abound eyes water and sog

Maybe just give up and get a dog

–

Most men on these sites just want sex

Leaving dating potentials emotional wrecks

–

Looking for a ‘hookup’ is all they want

A roll in the hay and sexual jaunt

–

So not only just chew the fat

But also prove to be better than that

–

With weary hand to wetted eye

Hands to face the frustrated cry

–

It shouldn’t have to be this hard

Finding love with them on guard

–

But until remain like a frustrated muggle

In a world of magicians, a constant struggle

Words, They Protect Us All

Originally Published 04/25/2024

Words are our defense.

To cruelties of a cold world.

Countering the bad.

–

Providing a shield.

To the harsh realities.

We all must deal with.

–

New words every day.

Arise through inspirations.

Through experience.

–

Many lessons learned.

Through the mistakes of our pasts.

Reap many rewards.

–

They’re a catalyst.

For the words that preserve us.

A creative shield.

–

That blocks future pain.

Blotting out all the darkness.

And giving us, light.
