My Hypocritical Confidence Boost?
I’m Good Enough to fool everyone I meet
I’m Smart Enough to deceive all that I tweet
Doggone It, I might even get away with a cheat
Because People Like Me!
I am a worthy human being
… and that’s … okay
I am still sexy enough to grope
Despite all of my grey
I’m in a shame spiral
Yet, I just won’t admit to it
You’re only sick as your secrets
I’ll tell the jury as they acquit
So compare and despair
And begone your stinkin’ thinkin!
I’ve had my checkup from the neckup
So perfect without no kinkin’ shrinkin’
Thank You,
Al Franken

Love is easy to feel yet hard to understand. It is easy to hold in your heart, yet hard to push through your teeth.
...bone is hard to push through.
Instead,
Say it with your arms every time you hold her close.
Say it with your lips every time you kiss her.
Say it with your breath every time you laugh with her.
Love can even be said without using the word Love itself.
Instead say, how are you feeling?
Instead say, you are always so beautiful.
Instead say, you are brilliant.
There are 1,000,000 ways to say I love you.
Only one of them is hard.
Silence
Like glass that encased a room,
Hard
Cold
Clear
Like glass it can be broken.
Silence
Like a flower, blooms.
It looms
Bathes
Grows
Like a flower, it can be picked.
Silence
Like metal it is golden.
Rare
Sought
Held in,
Like metal it can form a shield.
Silence
In my mind
Tight
Intentional
Real
Violence-ceasing silence like the quiet that heals
My tarnished semblance
Of a self.
Red!
Red was just a colour
Till I found it flooding in me
The realisation when I saw you
With sparking smile
Hidden behind your hands
Eyes dripping fervour
And your skin draped
With red raiment of angel
You looked like a soothing drug
Which ran across my veins.
May be world calls it blood
But I feel it to be love!!

Money > Effort
Life's like
An amusement park -
Fun,
Until you run out of
Money.
With it you can buy
Friends,
Experiences,
Everything including
Ease in life.
I was never popular,
No matter how
Hard I tried.
Because
I was poor,
And I always felt
Less than.
I still do, and I
Have nothing,
Except
All my fruitless effort.
Mr. Valentine, Tell Me Your Secrets
"How does one know if they are desired?"
I asked, for the hearts already expired.
He laughed and said, "No such thing as a heart past due,"
As if I wouldn't think that was too good to be true.
"Answer my question," I said with a sneer,
Though admittedly I thought the mind-reading queer.
So very solemn he said, with an overdone shiver,
"Why, that surety's an arrow, as quiet as a whisper..."
"And when does it hit?" I came closer, to be assured,
Eager for the meaning of a mystery so obscure!
"If that answer could be found by any easy measure,
That emotion you crave most would not be a treasure."
His reason calming my fervor, I forced myself away,
Saying "Nevermind, Cupid." And did not hear him say,
"Everyone you meet has such a worthy soul,
By chance, some day, one will make you whole."
The Loss of Princess Leia
Beyond the moon she goes to rest,
A princess sound asleep.
And in the cinematic vest,
Her presence we will will keep.
The warring stars will settle down,
As honoring her place
A million people mark her crown,
And mourn her lovely face.
The empire of the dying torch
Has burned its final flame.
As none alive escape its scorch,
We join and say her name ...
Oh, Leia, born of Jedi blood
On Alderann you grew,
In tune with nature's ebbing flood
A marvel, sound and true.
The presence of the Force is strong
And wills is to unite.
Untimely death has spilled along
A turmoil black as night.
Go be with Yoda, Ben, and Han,
Release into the air,
For now you join with Alderaan;
The angels take you there.
Disturbance in the universe,
For everyone has heard
Another 2016 curse,
Ridiculous, absurd,
Has captured yet another breath;
Removed from us delight.
But Carrie Fisher battled death;
She gave it quite a fight!
And all together, in the course,
We suffer in regret
As Princess Leia joins the Force,
A name we won't forget ...
