Humorous Nonsense of a Cold

I will make my bed On this couch And sink into its Pillowy depths As my nose runs down my face And across the carpet To play with the never-ending hairballs.

It sucks to be sick, Here on the couch Sniffling, sneezing Like a tossed away pouch. My head gets to aching And I feel as I’m breaking Spinning, spinning the room goes round Who put me on this merry-go-round? It could be much worse I could be out in the cold Suffering suffering Surrounded byContinue reading “It Sucks to be Sick”

The Huntress

You watch me through my window I am not aware I think I am free, escaped I am not You are always watching Waiting, you stare down at me Biding your time You have learned to be patient And will pounce when I least expect Mauling Devouring Consuming Ah, but you do not know myContinue reading “The Huntress”

A Dream? A Vision?

How much our pope loves Our Lady! How much Our Lady loves our pope! A blinding flash of light! Falling back Sitting in a chair Praying. Alright, everyone!

Leap!

Did I catch your fancy? Did I turn your head? Did you come for me? Why are you here? Did my song entice you? Did my beauty besot you? Why? The real question here is did you come for nothing? Because maybe, I don’t return. Maybe I no longer want. Maybe I no longer need.Continue reading “Leap!”

At the End of the Day

The packages are opened. The surprises discovered. The day is done as we traverse to bed. Full bellies. Warm beds. Content hearts. Merry Christmas.

It Was Almost

It was almost Christmas It was almost Mass It was almost the happiest time of the year It was almost a dream come true It was almost the fulfillment of so many dreams It was almost real It was almost like my heart never broke It was almost as if someone actually cared It wasContinue reading “It Was Almost”
