In Search Of Pleasure
And Freedom From
The Chains Of My

I was tempted
but I resisted
it was easy
when I had no desire
when I had no need
when I had no hunger
I said, “No”
before I met you

The First Sunrise Of January
Always Leaves Me Wondering
What Lies Ahead
Just Out Of Sight
Over The Horizon
In My Tomorrows
And Then It Leads My
Mind Back Over The
Last Year And
Way Back When Too
Recalling
Moments And Memories
And What If’s And
Might Have Beens
Things That Never Were
But Could Have Been
And The Happiness
That Was And
The Blessings
That I Have
Regrets
And Bittersweet
Memories Escape
Their Cell
Deep In My Heart
On The First
Sunrise Of January
Before Being
Escorted Away
Sometimes The Heart
And Soul
Need To Reflect,
Remember And Wonder,
So They Will Be
More Grateful,
And Happy During
The Coming Year
The First Sunrise Of January
Is The Demarcation,
The Ending And Beginning,
One Year Passing Away Into History
As The New Year Is Born
The First Sunrise Of January
Is The “First Time”
You Get To Make An X
On The New Year’s Calendar

I Am A Silly Person

Believing In Things
So Improbable
Yet Hoping
Beyond Hope
That They Shall
Become A Reality

Tens Of Thousands Of Innocent Victims Have Suffered
And Died Of Covid-19, Needlessly, As A Result Of President Trump’s
Intentional Hiding Of The Truth About The Dangers Of The Corona Virus From The American Public, As Proved In His Own Words, On Tape.
The Victims Cry Out From The Grave For Justice, For The Protection Of Others By Voting The Guilty And Their Enablers Out Of Office!!

In a corner dark
Lurks the monster
Trying to rip my soul apart.
