Whisper Sweet Nothings

Whisper some sweet nothings to me was heard.

Come over here, near, I want your embrace.

I want so badly, please start with a hug.

He came with a sigh, he'd been there before.

In this fog it's hard to discern who cares,

cares so very much for one of his kind.

I want to hear your longing for love, feel

your quivering body's message for me. 

 

 

Draw under this light my love, tell me now.

Tell of your love and wanting that I crave.

Oh yes, oh oh, oh yes, whisper once more.

Close your eyes dear, can you feel my steel?

  

Another Jack the Ripper foggy night,
.

one more body count her stiletto tolled.

Eating -- Baked Potato with Texas BBQ

 

Had a BBQ

'stuffed' potato yesterday

cheese, butter, and chives

On the side dills and onions

Healthy onion rings not fried

When I'd had enough

was to the restroom I went

pretty, clean, unique

Mind the sign, "Please Wait" it said

"Wait to sit" not in my plans

Our New School

A big dream, little poem, for you today:

 

I'm gonna love our new school
It's a school for learnin' how
Learnin' how to dance a pole

I've seen it done on TV
It's what I've wanted to be
Learnin' to be a pole dancer

I'll buy a pretty new suit
It's like a Speedo with stripes
Learnin' I'll do, in this school

............................................................................... Pole dancer's what
............................................................................... I always wanted to be

Angels on the clouds -- Blog4Peace

.Dona Nobis Pacem (Latin for Grant us Peace)


Angels sitting on their clouds;
(two poems)

Peaceful scene up here,
with the angels sitting on their clouds

Wringing their hands,
will there be peace today, could they help

Remembering that day sublime,
"Peace on earth, good will towards man"

and:

Floating clouds galore
An angel sits on each one
Waiting for an earthly task to do
Or perhaps get called up to Heaven
For her God there to serve

Mom's jumped down
that day. We were coming into Omaha
I missed her dying about the time I saw the clouds
Her angel had gone down on assignment
Escort my Mom to see her Lord

Lou Reed; a tribute

 

Songs with words I could never write.
Songs written and sung by Lou Reed.

Punk-poet of Rock'n Roll they called him. Singer of the seventies,
many called it "just noise."

But gradually they all, we all, learned a new vocabulary. That was like Lee would say,
"truly, truly a sin."

Things have changed, we have changed.
Like a lie that isn't malicious nor does it 
hurt a soul,
maybe it isn't a sin?

.

Things have changed, we have changed.
Words of .s e x .and. d r u g s. are in all the songs of the 2000's now. 
Our generation's 1960's and 70's were just a bit ahead of their time. But that made it what it was, a new Bible for song.

So let's all hear it for Lou Reed.
For you, Lou, we will

"Take a Ride on the Wild Side."

                     - - - - - -

 

...."Walk On The Wild Side"

Holly came from Miami, Florida

Hitch-hiked her way across the U.S.A.

Plucked her eyebrows on the way

Shaved her legs and then he was a she

She says, "Hey, babe

Take a walk on the wild side"

She said, "Hey, honey

Take a walk on the wild side"

Candy came from out on the Island

In the back room she was everybody's darling

But she never lost her head

Even when she was giving head

She says, "Hey, babe

Take a walk on the wild side"

Said, "Hey, babe

Take a walk on the wild side"

And the colored girls go

"Doo do doo do doo do do doo ..."

Little Joe never once gave it away

Everybody had to pay and pay

A hussle here and a hussle there

New York City's the place

Where they said, "Hey, babe

Take a walk on the wild side"

I said, "Hey, Joe

Take a walk on the wild side"

Sugar Plum Fairy came and hit the streets

Looking for soul food and a place to eat

Went to the Apollo

You should've seen them go, go, go

They said, "Hey, sugar

Take a walk on the wild side"

I said, "Hey, babe

Take a walk on the wild side"

All right, huh

Jackie is just speeding away

Thought she was James Dean for a day

Then I guess she had to crash

Valium would have helped that bash

Said, "Hey, babe

Take a walk on the wild side"

I said, "Hey, honey

Take a walk on the wild side"

And the colored girls say

"Doo do doo do doo do do doo ..."

Sorrow or Surprise Day

Today was sorrow or surprise day for Jakey. 
That was what the horoscope said it might be. 
Poor Jakey, he didn't know what to do. 
How do you conjure up a surprise? 
Or how does one avoid his sorrow?

His hands were of no use to him, 
neither was his mind. 
His destiny was in the stars. 
The decision was not his to make,
it would be come what may. 

If only he could get up, stand,
and then run away from it all.
But that would not be happening for a bit. 
His mother, mother nature, would see to that. 
Jakey is a six months old little boy.

- - - - - -

Jakey here is only six months old.  But this happens to many.  The babies in the process of growing of course.  For some children it is temporary.  Others, in various stages of life, from birth through death, suffer defects or trauma.  That might come from birth, accident, abuse, war, disease and sickness, stroke, aging, or other. 

I could not write about the latter, just think about them.  I could not emphasize enough to write.  At least not now. So I chose Jakey.  For him there is exuberant hope and expectation.

Missed the Mail;
a her and him piece

Post carrier has come and gone
Just a little bit late today
I missed it big, nothing for you
May I e-mail my note of love

I will still love you when you're late
There's nothing witty I can say
Pining away, I miss you so
This is my e-mailed note with love

Note:  I'm not late a lot, at least for the important things.  Most of them.  I'm most infamous for being an hour late for Mrs. Jim's and my wedding.  That was unfortunate and not very much my fault.  It happened over forty years ago so I think the marriage took. (Read more about all that here)

Think Sleep

.

 

Thinking tonight

 

Tonight as I lay here and cannot sleep

I think of what my mother has taught me

I tried to get to sleep by counting sheep

My trouble is there are no sheep to see

 

When the sandman is saying no sleep yet
 And I'm so tired, I take my mom's advice

She taught me a trick I will not forget

If I really want to sleep shut my eyes

Note: We have a couple's marriage story about this. I don't ever remember my mother teaching me but once when I could not sleep Mrs. Jim told me to close my eyes. I acted as if I had never heard or known of this help before. It has been a joke between us for many, many years now. "Oh yes, I must close my eyes."

My Friend

.

My Friend

 

 I have a friend, his name is Jim

We have been friends since man knew time

My friend lives in a fine small house

He has a wife--lives there with him

 

He is retired and does not work

All work no play is not for him
No dull boy is he. He's at peace
with himself, church he will not shirk.

 

Ne'er a cross word between us two
Drive each other to the doctor
And we play some golf when we can

It's because we are friends, thank you

The Big Change

.

The Big Change

I called you all together

some changes are to be made

For eons you guys coasted

never much energy spent

Pull up your sleeves, boots go on

please don't blame it on the tilt

Winter, ice and snow won't do

greening in, Spring, share your wealth

Autumn, stop blaming the Fall

Summer, spread your heat around

(The seasons have a new boss

who was high up in the banks)

And don't blame it on the moon

Notes: 

1.  I remember when cabinet members were appointed from business cronies and political campaign contributors when technical savvy, people caring, and other knowledge bases were important and different for each position (i.e. a banker guru for NASA's administrator, etc).

2.  Snow scenes I photographed are from Main Street of Tekamah, Nebraska.  That is the town where I graduated from high school.

Little Lies -- Monday Toads -- Two Shoes Tuesday

.
Little White Lies

It's a little fib I tell
sure it won't send me to Hell

Santa comes in the middle
of the night--to bed, be quick

It won't hurt, nurse's needle
not even a little bit

I am fit as a fiddle
everyone falls--I'm not sick

Hello Satan sir. Yes sir,
there will be no lying here
