WORDS ARE HERE TO STAY

I love words, they are my best friends. We have been going steady since I was three and discovered letters in a picture book. A new world of letters opened up, I entered and never left.

I see letters as shapes, as paintings, as letters that logically lock into place like jigsaw puzzles. Words are like a palette holding many colors: They can be descriptive, musical, comedic, colorful, instructive, destructive, thought provoking or mixtures of some or all these. Words can shape the way one think and acts.

So why not be inventive, daring, or colorful by painting sentences with a broad brush. Here are some word paintings I kind of like:
The cold stabbed at me, The tapestry of my life unfolded. I can here the sounds of trees growing. A bunch of ideas percolated in my head. His anger hurried his words along, he spat them out with machine gun speed.Finally, there are limitless word structures that call, nay, scream for your attention. They ensnare, they captivate, they move you to tears or laughter. Enjoy the world of words in blogs, books, newspapers, leaflets and anywhere you can find them. Enjoy the world of words.

JUST SOME ACHES AND PAINS

There's pain in my neck, oh what the heck
My poor back is another story,
no use to give it a worry

My chest is aflame, but who can I blame?
My left knee gives when I walk,
no matter how I give it a talk.

My ankle is not steady, is it amputation ready?
My left leg is the size of two.
Should I get one that's brand new?

My jewels are victims of gravity,
and I say this without any levity.
and so for the sake of brevity
I'll end all this silly debility.

When my sweetheart
smiles at me
When my darling
looks at me
When my beauty
moves close to me
My pains drift away
I am whole again
i am ten feet tall

WHEN I FIRST MET HER

When I first met her
She was a sweet five foot four
My hormones told me
She’d not ever be a bore

It’s now been sixty seven years later
And she’s still five foot four
And we’re still mated
Surely, like it's fated

We’ve learned to do it slowly
Working from the top to the lowly
Every part unrehearsed
A gentle slaking of a thirst

Just the touch of her hand
The sound of her voice
The look that she gives me
Is more than I ever need

ABSENT MINDED?

I'm walking down an avenue
In a city I do not know
I have no idea of where I am
Or where I want to go

Have I reached that awful time
are my senses really going
is a quarter really a dime
Have my brains stopped growing

Wait, I see a woman across the street
possibly someone I'd like to meet
she looks at me and I look at her
and believe it or not I begin to purr

Then it happened, I don't know how
we were together, like in the now
I went to kiss her, and kiss her I did
her lips were like roses, I do not kid

Our bodies met and began to sway
we held on, was it night or day?
I knew this much, I loved her touch
In fact I liked it very much

Suddenly, it dawned on me
I soon began to see
those lips, that voice
that was a you and a me

My darling of some sixty years
stood before me and there were tears
Tears of happiness, of finally knowing
that life again,could be glowing

Hand and hand she led me home
and warned me not to roam
Home sweet home, home sweet home
Life forever, like a honey poem

JE T'ADORE

I adore you
Je t'aime
You are my life
Vous etes ma vie

You are my inspiration
Vous etes mon inspiraton
My reason for living
Ma raison de la vie

I throw you a thousand kisses
Je vous jette mille baisers

Married sixty-two years
More laughter than tears
Let's go to bed,
Something might rise

Miracles happen , don't they
Bonne nuit cherie, good night

YOU SMELL REAL NICE

You smell real nice
from head to toe
You smell real nice
my nose just knows

And when you talk I listen
Wouldn’t want words to be missin’
‘Cause the sounds make love to my ears
I want to listen for a hundred years

My sweetie is past eighty
and I’m older than that
That doesn’t slow us down
though we’re slightly fat

We’re both very retired
And can do as we please
Our good times have not expired
So we play bareback at our ease

You smell real nice
From head to toe
You smell real nice
My nose just knows

BODY I KIND OF KNOW YOU

Baby, you have some wrinkles
Your breasts are somewhat pendulous
You’re arms are, well, a little flabby
But you’re body is still incredulous

I know every cranny
You’re cute saucy fanny
Love your delicious smile
For it I would run a mile

Body, I kind of know you

Darling, I too have wrinkles
That line, my once perfect face
Kind of gives me character
No cream will ever erase

Oh me, oh my
My jewels are falling
Gravity has come calling
It’s just too damn galling

But darling, but darling
I’m forever falling
Head over heels
And I keep calling

Body, I kind of know you.
