Falling Roses

The time for falling roses;

Are when you are knitted in your shroud-

A simple family man;

Who has no attraction to the crowd-


Who has no desire for being famous;

No desire for company-

But knows his worth upon this earth-

Betrothed

Spin your heart;

Sweet ember of mine;

To conquer me with love divine.

A sweet jewel of heaven;

We are deeply entwined;

First by using a firm foundation.

In order to build that foundation;

One must build it on a level of moderation.

This level of moderation usually comes from family elders;

The Screwdriver

Loose screws;

Follow the screwdriver;

It’s the only thing they have known.

Loose screws know heartache;

So they are always alone.

An Alcoholic Marries

Always a derelict and a drunkard;
Three sheets to the wind-
If I had a forever home;
