Weakness For Sweetness

She actually was from Venus

Recently relocated to Mars

She likes to criticize the gutter

Hate on the stars

Sexually she’s a tiger

And I’m a few strokes over par

Her best friends her security

But she loves my avatar

She’s a big Rob Thomas fan

Likes that I’m a little unwell

She forgive my insecurities

As long as I’ve got stories to tell

She’s a murderer, if looks could kill

I’d show up to pay her bail

I invited her into the twilight

But love her enough

To hold hands in hell

The 5 People Who Make Life Heaven

They listen when you need to talk Talk when you need to listen They know your darkness Let you know theirs Without judgement and expectation You can talk to them about how you see things They don't get angry or anxious when you disagree Trust you enough to say what they really think Read tweets and novels Never make you beg or grovel Won't allow it Remind you that you're better than that Lay some of their burden on you Let you behind their wall Feel welcome behind yours You feel each other with heart and mind Even if you don't explain yourself They get you You get them These are the ones that make life worth living Make you love to be alive Reflect you to you Teach and learn Some days the lead singer Some days the band These are the ones You can count on one hand (c) Ron Kennedy

Poetry Tree

I saw no birds grieve No fallen leaves No branches on the ground None made a sound It wasn’t rotten It didn’t die in a storm Capitalism came In its progress form To take one of my last Best refuges from me I may be the only one who noticed The death of my poetry tree.
