A Prayer Before Dying
God forgive this sin of mine,
I know how grave it is.
But I promise this will be
The last offense of mine.
I don't know if I'll see you.
Please try to understand,
And help my friends and family
To find true peace of mind.

A Reason For Being
we all have a reason for being
or else we wouldn't be here
even the bum under the bridge
has a purpose for living
though he might beg to differ
if you confronted him
life is a precious gift
and we all have something
that we were put on earth to do
besides loving and pleasing
our Maker we are here
to love one another
to help each other
on this journey of life
set aside yourself
put your ego to rest
and you will see how freedom
truly feels and know the joy
of seeing beauty in everything
you will be inspired to write
from deep within your soul
and feel ecstacy not unlike
an orgasim or a mystic breeze

A Special Wish
i wish you peace of mind
i wish you joy
i wish you all of
the better things
in life which you deserve
above all,
i wish you love
for without it
life holds little
meaning for us all
when confusion comes
and things are chaotic
keep in mind that i love you
and wish you only
what is best for you
without meaning to
i may hurt you
please try to forgive me
and remember-
i love you

A True Story
caught in traffic
in downtown orlando
on our way to meet up
with friends from
out of town
the traffic light
at livingston turns red
we are in the
right hand lane
when i notice a lone male
in the left lane
in a car same make
and model as ours
ogling me from a far
eventually my husband
sees the man stare
asks under his breath
why's this nut
staring at our car
my husbands curiosity
overwhelms him and he
calls out the window
to him asking if
he wants our car
the stranger shakes
his head and grins
'you can have the car'
he calls out and adds
'i'll take your woman'
my husband's face
reveals his shock
as the light turns green
and the guy speeds ahead
laughing his arse off
