Reunion for me and you
What else could we do?
reconnect in every way
enjoying time together…

Freezing time’s embrace
Seizing moments in the mind
Preserving memories
Revisiting moments, gone
Rebuilding all the lost ones…

Action takes the stage
Drama unfolding in life
Stories coming alive
Fantasy is all too real
And realities, unreal…
-MAD/AAA 09/13/2024
Forceful impact’s sound
Resonating through the air
Strength and power shown
Reeling back from the hard blow
Falling on cold hard asphalt…
-MAD/AAA 09/13/2024
Time cannot stand still
It is always in motion
Serendipitous
Nature’s rhythm moves us all,
in a dance of endless time…

Sweet lilacs beckon.
As soft tall grasses call me
The trees wave welcome
wanting them to calm you down
enjoy, peace and solitude…

Sit quiet alone
Do not speak a single word
Not a syllable.
Breathe in positivity
Breathe out negativity…
-AAA/MAD 9/13/24
The time is right now.
And the correct place is here.
Great to be alive.
So many experiences
Live each day to the fullest
AAA/MAD 9/12/24
Efforts never cease,
Striving towards what’s yet to come,
Trying to succeed.
Takes a lot of your gumption,
and sheer determination…
-MAD/AAA08/25/2024
Knowing without thought,
Instinct guiding the actions,
Intuitive feel.
Have faith and trust in your gut.
It hasn’t let you down yet…
-MAD/AAA08/25/2024
Cursing in anger,
Expletive of frustration,
Goddamn it all now.
Son of a biscuit eater
Make harsh moments easier…

Comrade and buddy,
Friend and confidant in one,
Pal for life’s journey.
Helps with your rougher times
And the blissful times as well…

Reaching the highest,
Goal achieved and sought after,
Attainment fulfilled.
Now time for the next challenge.
Soaring higher and higher…
-MAD/AAA08/25/2024
Repetition found,
Overflowing with surplus
Redundancy shown.
Vestigial in nature,
but never quite obsolete…
-MAD/AAA08/25/2024
Price paid in full worth,
Sacrifice to attain much,
Costly but of value.
Truly, quite rare and unique
Hence all of the expenses…
-MAD/AAA08/25/2024
Tilted towards an end
Inclined by nature’s design
Predisposed to sway
If contortion can create
Then a strong will can shape things…

Learning on the job
Growth through experience gained
Internship’s steep climb
As you pay all of your dues
Moving slowly, surely, up…
-MAD/AAA 08/22/2024
Drowning in sorrow
Wrapped in self-indulgent woe
Self-pity’s dark hold
Brings me down even lower
As I try to stay afloat…
-MAD/AAA 08/22/2024
Stretched to the limit
Pressure pulling tight and taut
Strained and stressed within,
Pressed as hard as one can be
Any further, and I’ll snap…
-MAD/AAA 08/22/2024
Precise, holding fast,
Stitching fabric and story,
Securing our world
Making some sense of it all
Can seem like a fool’s errand…

Nature’s sharp embrace,
Talons grasp with fierce control,
Survival’s strong hold
Grips quite tightly as they hunt
All hinges in their success…

Softly touching the earth’s floor,
Dancers’ silent grace
Like swans in a glassy lake
Gentle movements as they glide…

Grasping time and dreams with ease,
Victory in hand
In every step I take
Dreams become realities…

Notes intertwined tight,
Harmony in every strum,
Heartstrings resonate
Forming fragile melodies
And many delicate chords…

Digits reach and touch,
Graceful in their delicate dance,
Embracing life’s path.
Tracing the entire journey
From the start to the present…
-MAD/AAA 08/20/2024
Inhuman snarls, growl
Hungering for flesh and blood
Who will it strike next
Darkness falls, fear fills the air
Eyes gleam in the night’s embrace…

Hungry hawk circles
Looking for some smaller prey
All rodents, beware
Danger is lurking nearby
Protect others and yourself…

Crack up and fall around you
As the earth trembles
Nature’s power on display
Shaking everything it holds…

Lest you all be turned to stone
Dwelling is danger
Watching me you’ll turn to stone
Beware the eyes that follow…

Rather than compete
Proud of their accomplishments
Support them rather than attack…

Hit the brakes, no more mistakes
Manifest good things
Let positivity take hold
In stillness, find peace within…

Just do as I say
But, not at all what I do
Avoid my mistakes
Always trust yourself to shine
Believe in your own sunshine…
-AAA/MAD 08/16/2024
Support your best friends
They would do the same for you
In the very least
Together as one we stand
In times of need, unite now…

When words don’t come out
Never try and force them all
Or you’ll lose your mind
Silence can sometimes bring peace
To bring back the words that we need…
-AAA/MAD 08/12/2024
Out of ideas
I don’t know what I can write
Maybe just a loon.
In the bright light of the moon
Oh, whatever will I do
-AAA/MAD 08/12/2024
I am so hungry
But I do not want to cook
Find me some takeout
Pizza, sushi, or maybe
Some spicy noodles will do

Buffoons keep jumping
In the pool like idiots
Doing cannon-balls.
Trying as hard as they can
To soak every animal…
-AAA/MAD 08/12/2024
The magician scoffed
And she disappeared in smoke
Never seen again.
Magic words never said again
To live in peace and not mocked.

Joining in laughter
Is the most fun we can have
We’re all sharing joy
experiencing pleasure
to help deal with what may come

Please be quite silent
Do not speak a single word
Or a syllable.
All you say are lies anyways
Only speak when it is the truth

Day ends and night falls
Twilight gives way to darkness
Hints of day are gone.
Painting beauty in the sky
A pure vision of perfection…

Oh heavenly cow
Where have you been all my life
With glorious milk.
With each mouthwatering drink
A lost memory appears…

We all must be loved
Sometime within all our lives
In the very least
Kindness and warmth we seek here
Embracing love we find peace
-AAA/MAD 08/11/2024
I lived by a lake
With waters as clear as crystal
Surrounded by trees
Birds chirping their sweet songs
And fish splashing in the lake…
-AAA/MAD 08/11/2024
I can hear her screams
Punctuating the darkness
I think she needs help
In this night so deep and dark
There is hope for her, I feel…

Remove shoes and socks
Then walk on the ground barefoot
The earth holds your feet
Feel the connection to earth
Nature’s energy flows deep…

I live in pineapple street
A pleasure to meet
The sun’s warmth on my head feels sweet,
Nature’s embrace is so complete…

Bright color essence
My world is technicolor
Blues, reds, and yellows
Vivid hues paint my story
In every shade, I find glory…
