Forever with you
Is how I thought it’d be
I love you always
Is how I thought it’d be
~
A pot of gold
At the end of the rainbow
A rainbow,
At the end of a storm
Is how I thought it’d be
~
We said our vows
‘Til death do us part
Death as in you and me
Not our love for each other
~
I thought it’d be
wonderful
a dream come true
~
I thought it’d be
magical
a fairy tale come true
~
I thought it’d be
forever
you and me

Going through the throes of divorce
Have you ever thought of us?
Us being you and me together,
Not, you and me alone.
~
Us as a couple,
Us joined hand-in-hand,
Us side-by-side,
Us as one.
~
I think of us as two.
Not, two together,
But two separate.
Two going their own ways.
Opposite ways. Alone.
~
As us –
we were joined together by marriage
Not by love, not by friendship.
~
Us – You and me severed,
Not connected
Not by any means or ways.
~
You live. I live. Us is dying.
Us is dead.
We are dead.
We are UN-US.

Lysergic acid diethylamide
And
Life sucking drug
~
The drug that masks reality
For all its victims
Making them blind
~
NO!
~
Pain and suffering
Instability
DEATH
~
LSD is not your friend, but your
Enemy
Thrives from your pain and your
Misery
~
Impairing your judgement
Increasing your blood pressure
Hearing colors
Seeing sounds
~
Crossing over to a world all your own
PARANOIA
~
Lost in this world you call your own,
MISCONCEPTION, DENIAL
~
Drug free?
LIAR!
~
Love and support from family & friends
Who needs them, when you have
LSD?
~
Life sucking drug
DEATH

To the family member this was dedicated to; he did get off this drug before it was too late. I did lose a friend to this drug though… he was riding his motorcycle, flying high, crashed and died. Rest in peace my sweet Alex.
Ruby red lips
Sun spun hair
Green eyes

Go
~
Lights aglow
Flashing of purple,
Magenta and gold
~
Slip into
Black velvet
Sequined gown
~
Loose change
Folded bills
Plastic
~
Heels of coal
Mind on fire
Hunger
~
Another chip added
Cards flipping
Dice rolling
~
Heart pounding
Lost in a shuffle
Dazed and blinded
~
Eyes; olive drab
Hair of wheat
Rosy lips, pale
~
Stop

I hope all of you have a safe and wonderful Christmas! I hope Santa Claus 🎅🏼 brings you everything you desire and I hope Jesus brings you everything you need.
I hope and pray the homeless get houses, something more than just shelter from the cold. To be in a house with a kitchen to cook food, a bathroom with running water to take hot showers, and a bed to sleep in is what many take for granted. I, too, took this for granted. But now, after being homeless for almost two years… not any more. Just last night, as I was walking my dogs to my 4runner, I saw a person sitting up against the outside of a church wall. It was freezing outside, and I said a little prayer that Lord keep this person and all of the homeless who don’t have any shelter from the cold, please keep them warm.
I hope and pray the children that don’t have any toys 🧸 are given a surprise tomorrow morning… that they will be able to open a present and receive a gift of joy.
I hope for those who don’t have anything to eat are offered food, or a prepared meal. Or for those who are isolated will be able to have a friendly visit.
Christmas is about giving not receiving. Christmas is about the birth of Jesus, our Savior, not about the beautiful lights on houses. Christmas is about sharing with family and friends, about charity, about faith, and love.
May God bless each and every one of you!
