Rain rain come right here
Wash away my salty tears
Clean the air water the ground
Bring life to the greenery around
It’s white noise to perfection
Soft stereo in all directions.
–
Your gentle falls I do endear
Making everything quite clear
To excess you do astound
From great storm clouds abound
From natures wet convection
To all living thing’s affection…

Christopher’s kindness never wears
Soft warm eyes as this tabby stares
Melting my heart as I know he cares
Occasionally catching me unawares
With compassion beyond compare
Precious moments for us to share.

Deep inside
Beyond your pride
There is nothing to hide
Be true to yourself and abide
Answers are on your side
You never ever lied
Just complied…

Reach me, hold me,
touch me, scold me.
–
Tell me I was wrong
Say it or in a song.
–
Let me know how to fix it
and I’ll cook, stir, and mix it.
–
Please don’t leave don’t say goodbye
it will hurt too much to cry.
–
Words “I’m sorry” can’t say enough
take them in before a rebuff.
–
Forgiveness is love’s mere boon
here on earth and beyond the moon.
–
Taking mulligans is hard to do
try taking three, one, or two.
–
Forget not what holds us dear
someone warm and caring near.
–
Pride is razor sharp and slanted
so don’t take lovest ones for granted.
–
Fall deep into the lonliness chasms
Nothing felt but a hear that spasms.
–
Think of the other and not just self,
or end up will you on a shelf,
without love and by yourself…

The dream is over buried and dead
from all things seen and read.
–
Life now a tangled mess
doctors/politicians do their best
alas I confess
its the hardest test.
–
To contain the strain that beats in brains
just insane as money drains.
–
What can we do what can we say
boarded up inside homes drying clay
and at the end of a day
its not a new day.
–
A few more weeks we stay apart
this affair breaks my nimble heart.
–
stabs like steely knife
wondering about the ways of life
at home with kids and wife
humbled nations share true strife.
–
Awake from this nightmare soon
pay and plead and beg for boon.
–
Let it end end today
is for now I pray
nothing left to say
but pure dismay…

What do you say to old you from an earlier day?
What do you say?
–
What do you say to memories that won’t stay away?
What do you say?
–
What do you say the way you used to play?what do you say?
–
What do you say how your exes stray?
What would you say?
–
What would you say if it was you and not they?
What would you say?
–
What would you say if you could forget that day?
What would you say?
–
What would you say for the answers you pray?
What would you say?
–
What would you say if you’d let old dogs lay?
What would you say?
–
What would you say as your hair grows gray?
What would you say?
–
What would you say if she decided to stay?
What would you say?
–
I know what I’d say I want peace today and leave the past so far away.
That’s what I’d say.

Your challenge for the week
Time to Go
It was time to go
Way past time to go
My heart told me so
It had teetered to and fro
But her actions did show
That I didn’t matter long ago
My intuition let me know
My inclination no longer slow
To continued manipulation I said “no”
It was time for me to grow
Take away her control
So I did go…

EARTH DAY BIRTHDAY
Earth Day
Was his birthday
He shared this occasion
With some ovation.
–
Some elation
And celebration
Pomp and circumstance
Some songs and dance.
–
Cake for all
Relatives call
Sharing fun
Under the sun
Until the day is done
And next year, a better one…

Love is the ideal
Playing it all by feel
Satisfaction like a meal
The feelings are real
Almost stronger than steel
Loaded with appeal
The heart, is its seal
Let me turn the wheel
No room at all for zeal.
❤️
Love is not wrong
Hear it in a song
It’s great to belong
Even in a throng
Am I wrong?
❤️
Love is pure and true
Like a sky full of blue
Fun for me and you
And I’m not quite through.
❤️
Love is never cruel
Not played like a fool
Or used like a tool
Or worse yet a mule
–
Love with your passion
Not a passing fashion
With mutual attraction
Not a separate faction
Or reduced like a fraction
That’s at least my reaction❤️❤️❤️

Sitting in place
Grimace on face
The steps I trace
Without a brace
So don’t give chase
Need to replace
In any case
I’ll leave post haste…
-AAA 09/14/2024
Nothing I can do or say
Wink if an eye, you’re far away
I’ll never forget that day
The way you held me at bay
A very dark day that May
After promises you wouldn’t stray
So sad the games you played
You were so afraid
So your decision was made
You couldn’t of stayed
Your self interest cut like a blade
A great thing was completely unmade
I gave up trying to persuade
A love that you forbade…
