Damned, you’ll be
for loving
and living
and choosing
and hoping.
Eternal flames
will warm
my soul
while yours
awaits judgment
at the heavenly
toll.

Snowfall

Light snow falls in dark

landing quietly on ground,

a blanket of white.

Blink

Blink
and it’s changed,
your world
in flames,
your life
in ruins,
your heart
in pain.
Blink
and it’s gone,
all that was wrong,
the world,
is clear,
the path
is right,
the day
gives way
to night.

Things

Things are all they were
and memories all they are
and moments pass
but from our hearts never far.

Time is what we need
and what we never get
but spent wisely
makes time we won’t forget.

My Love

It’s not that I don’t like you,
I just love myself too much.
The thought of loving another
gets my fur all in a bunch.
I’ll love you when there’s time
and when it’s best for me
just to keep you hanging
on thoughts of what may be.
Don’t be offended
by what is simply true;
my love for me is greater
than my love for you.

Rally

My time
is not yours to waste
and my blood,
not yours to taste.

My mind
belongs only to me
and my heart
longs only to be free.

My words
are the weapon I choose
so your fight
is one you will lose.

$5

I sold the last of you
just today at our old school.
Some memory still remained
of the boy you once portrayed.
Was it that you changed
or was my young brain to blame?
Perhaps you were never you
and all your sides are the same.

#tbt

Those eyes
could be the death of me.
Do I fall in
or stay safely
by the edge?
Those eyes
could breathe new life in me.
If only I dared
to play a little
closer to the ledge.

Fairest of Them All

Food from a stranger,
how do you like them apples?
Fairest not smartest

Greeting Cards for Impeachment

There have been whispers since our current president took office. There was even a meager attempt to bring impeachment upon the commander in chief. Regardless of where you stand politically, it seems that the possibility of impeachment just won’t lay down and die. If that happens, I just don’t think the fragile ego of said president could survive. Here are some ideas for helpful cards to send President Trump should he fall from his self-made pedestal.
