    God Bless Ya! LIVE

    She was sweeping the floor when I crept in. Sharleen: straggly blonde hair, round smiley face, freckly nose, dimples. Looking as sensational as ever in a cropped crimson top and tight skinny jeans slung five inches below her navel....

    • This is different. I like how you build this and have me waiting to find out how but I know it will never be revealed. Very nice.

      • Thanks very much, Fia,
        Sharleen is based on a real-life God-fearing woman (brunette not blonde, though) who works in the dry cleaners at my local high street in Epping, and an encounter that really took place! She could definitely sort the World out given half the chance!

  • State of Mind:

    Dear Danny,
    I sit alone behind these grey concrete walls, wondering if the Police really know it all?
    Craving just a little male affection when all I seem to get is your rejection?
    Write me letters, pick up the phone, need your sweetness, so sick of living here on my own.
    I loved you, baby, you loved me, said I loved ya, it…Read More

    Neither one of us are religious

    We spoke about religion this morning  Neither of us believe  A lot got said Desire  Love Separation  Between church and state  Redemption perhaps  Then silence

    • Church and state should stay separate…It’s not though. Good piece

    • Happy Easter dearest Poet it was really a pagan fertility rite called Ishtar…Nature is where I go to find God…this is well said ❤️

    • I talk to my dog

      Dog is God
      God is Dog

    • Cleverly penned, Speak. As always you deliver my friend. They should always be separate indeed, unfortunately it seems some claim didn’t get the memo. Excellent write. Nicely done. Appreciate you.

    • Hello Gary. I agree with your poem & statement. To the point and you always nail it! Maybe to a cross!!

    • I’ve always said I’d like believe but I’m to pragmatic or stubborn or I don’t like Kool Aid …

    • Dear PS,

      I can always count on a particular dynamic in your poems that lay bare life at its core. And I always appreciate that because it’s raw and always truthful. Long live pragmatism. H🌷

    • Dear H,

      My father was pragmatic and I guess I inherited that trait from him.
      Religion is a something you grow up with or not. I had a religion but I’ve chosen to segregate the good from the allegory. The good part is spiritual and the rest for me is a pragmatic look at the people around me and what we share.

      It’s so good to see you H.
      I don’t come here often but every so often I need a place to put stuff.

      You found me, I’m saved !!!

      💕

    • Totally agree with your stance on religion. But it’s the relationship I see in your poem that makes me dig it. You have a way of saying a lot in a very sideways way. When you can talk religion with someone and then sit in a comfortable silence… that’s gold.
      So great to read your writing.
      ❤️k

    • I’m really glad to see your comment on this entry. Writing it reminded me of our DUP years. When our community would come together and you could write something like this without reprisals…

      Appreciate you Red

      You make me want to write more …

      ❤️

    I can hear my phone buzzing
    on the dresser across the room
    like a fly…dogging my face
    it’s distracting

    as I give myself over
    …in every possible sense…
    to his ferocious ministrations

    his smoky eyes burning holes in my soul
