Sweet Kisses

Been trying to explain just how
she raises my sugar level so high.
I think maybe it might be those kisses
like grandma's sweet potato pie.

When she enters the door
its like she's been gone for so long.
Grabs me like a choking vine
but can't say I can call it wrong.

That woman keeps me smiling
even sitting round resting in a daze.
I look over there at her in my lust
loving all of her passionate ways.

Don't care if she's wearing cut offs
or a big oversized sweat suit.
Just love being in her presence
as if her body was sugar fruit.

My sugar level rises to a high 
that rosy smile never misses.
Drive me just as batty now
since she first gave out her kisses.

All these years haven't dulled
even the slightest of a bit.
Can count on her always to stir
guaranteed to drive me to a fit.

Oh, she can be so rewarding
in all the ways she can tease.
Sitting cross from her, mind fades
thinking, pass the jelly, please.

Some may call me crazy
but they don't know bout this.
Wait till they get a woman
whose got an apple pie kinda kiss.

Time To Taste Heaven

I've tasted enough
of the stars and the moon
I've slurped thru skyways
yet heaven always looms.

Knees are bloodied
bending too far down
Now following the scent
I'm heaven bound.

Should be my turn
weary from the chase
bowing in total submission
Heaven awaits my taste.

Shall I Let the Craving Pass/What If My Prayers Are Finally Heard

Shall I let the craving pass
or reach with more zest
Can I allow the thought its due
if I wish to have the best.
 
What if my prayers are finally heard
and the answers to my plea
appear in the visage of this gentle soul
who speaks of love to me?
 
Might I use the recall
to lay it all in my lap
or let it pass unnoticed
like a fly one just zapped.
 
What if I don't listen this time
and there are no more chances for me?
Living alone has its rewards
but nothing erases "lonely."
 
Should I expend the energy
to even give it a chance
or forget about the event
with its lustful romance.
 
Not all that long ago, I recall,
we swooned to lovers' words.
Shall I forget all that you said,
all that I know I heard?
 
Is it proper to recall
feelings which so pleased
or shove away the mindset
which is sure to be a tease.
 
How do I rectify this desire
when you're so far away?
Should feelings be left to die a slow death?
Is this the price I pay?
 
Shall I let the craving pass
let it wither away on the wind
If so I'll surely have to forget
the love you always send.
 
Can I really let these yearnings fade
without at least letting you know
that the language you speak always touches my heart
even now, as it did long ago?

Being Bombarded By Animal Lovers

Help me to get a grip, please
can't understand this yeoman push.
So many supporting animal rights
as if humans were tossed in the bush.

I can't seem to understand
what is the motivating factor.
This all out fiendish collaboration
with none being the actor.

What is this huge drive
I don't get the reasons at all.
My activities lean toward humans
making sure they can stand tall.

I love animals and treat them nicely
yet still can't grasp what's up today.
Being bombarded by animal lovers
to treat them in a much better way.

The question I can't shake
is where are the people supporters?
Why can't I get that same enthusiasm
for human rights from reporters.

From my view I look in awe
demonstrations and such.
What happened to people's rights
when animals get so much.

Please make me understand
why now animals have the light.
When so many humans suffer
few taking a stand on their plight.

I get emails galore each day
about the killing of horses or a dog.
But never see a stirred up voice
about human rights buried in a fog.

What's up with this mental stab
this feverish support for animal friends
but a loud silence or maybe a thud
signaling a lack of support I contend.

To me there is something sinister
about letting our brethren hang
while so many are gearing up
to help animals with a bang.

Society is falling on its butt
politicians are on a rampage
while we are fighting for animal rights
and can't seem to turn the page.

OK, OK maybe I've missed the boat
or didn't read my bible too close.
I thought humans were supposed to be tops
their rights looked after the most.

What is this obsession with animals
to place them so high up on the chain.
Our rights are being yanked from us
ignoring it while giving animals the reign.

Make me understand this condition
giving animals privileges we've lost.
Am I to expect to walk in the office
to meet my new Bull Dog boss?

Some have gone way too far
without a doubt have crossed the line.
People eating at a sidewalk cafe with dogs
but they want me to feel its fine.

What happened to our senses
when animal abusers get more time
than one who robs and attacks a woman
which to me is a serious crime.

You've got to explain to me
this strange new way to think.
Promoting better care for animals
forgetting humans in a blink.

What happened to considerations
for other country's practices and such.
Lots of people eat horse meat
but to many its too much.

We kill and eat thousands of steer
for beef and the hides and such
but raise holy hell when others
refuse to agree with your touch.

What is this raving defense
so many have for all type of beast
while at the same time ignoring
or treating humans the least?

I am left to scratch my head
trying to get a grip on this condition.
A brand new mind set I must face
a new lessor human rendition.

I want some of that same emotion
directed at humans with as much fervor
giving them the same considerations
when giving animals a life preserver.

Shall I Let the Craving Pass

Shall I let the craving pass

or reach with more zest

Can I allow the thought its do

if I wish to have the best.

 

Might I use the recall

to lay it all in my lap

or let it pass unnoticed

like a fly one just zapped.

 

Should I expend the energy

to even give it a chance

or forget about the event

with its lustful romance.

 

Is it proper to recall

feelings which so pleased

or shove away the mindset

which is sure to be a tease.

 

Shall I let the craving pass

let it wither away on the wind

If so I'll surely have to forget

the love you always send.
