The Sex Diet

I was hungry all the time.
Not for food, but to make you mine.
I craved you more than a hot fudge Sunday.
I could eat you up. You’re just as yummy.

Then things changed. We got together.
I thought things would be better.
I had all of you I wanted.
Seconds and thirds. I wasn’t taunted.

Time went by, like it always does.
I wasn’t so happy. Just because.
Have you ever bit off more than you could chew?
I think that happened with me and you.

We both needed to go on a diet.
So we abstained. Just try it.
On rare occasions we gave in.
Just a little. It wasn’t a sin.

Let me tell you, it was out of this world.
Absence made our desires whirl.
We reached levels of ecstasy we couldn’t believe.
Such pleasure is hard to achieve.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
We found this true. We didn’t flounder.
Now we diet with anticipation.
For the occasional slip, or vacation.

Our ‘diet’ has motivated us.
We are closer than dirt is to dust.
We recommend it to others, if it fits.
But, never, never call it quits.

What Is The Answer?

Are you a person who lives in the past?
Are you interested in ‘old things’ that last?
Do you imitate the lifestyle back then?
Do you wish you could relive it again?

Or are you one who knows what future means?
Do you live with tomorrow’s dreams?
Do you wish you were born a little later?
Do you think tomorrow there will be no haters?

Or do you live and thrive in the here and now?
Do you manage to live a day at a time, somehow?
Yesterday is a goodbye, tomorrow isn’t here.
All is the here and now; that you make very clear.

Whichever way you tend to be.
Will it make a difference between you and me?
Can we still be, as one, together?
Can we cling to one another, whatever the weather?

Does time and place rule over all?
Is that the announcement before the fall?
Or is it ‘whatever will be will be?’
You are still you and I am me.

Words Of Wisdom From Uncle John

I looked around and you were gone.
I had no idea what came over you?
Its happened before, I thought with a yawn.
I always figured you couldn’t be true.

And then along came Uncle John.
He said: “Why is she gone?”
I told him I didn’t have a clue.
He said: “That’s because you are a fool.”

Sometime later, I met another.
She was sweeter than apple pie.
She wanted me to meet her mother.
I turned her down because I was shy.

And then along came Uncle John.
He said: “Why has she gone?”
I told him I didn’t have a clue.
He said: “That’s because you are a fool.”

I tried after that, but couldn’t score.
Things just never went my way.
They seemed to know what I was looking for.
Yet, not one of them would ever stay.

And then along came Uncle John.
He said: “Hasn’t one come along?”
I said I didn’t have a magic wand.
He said: “ It’s because you are a ding dong!!”

A Change Coming On

I don’t want to let you down.
But, I know I am hell bound.
I wear my jeans too tight.
I often get into fights.

The demons drive me on.
Look around & I am gone.
I run with the wrong crowd.
I would never make you proud.

I doubt I can change my ways.
I’m bad to the bone every day.
I smoke drink, & do any drugs.
I punch cops in the mug.

I’ve been in and out of jail.
Just remember; I am a male.
I talk tough & walk the line.
I never back down. Not one time.

Am I to take this off, like a dirty shirt?
Change my ways, despite the hurt?
Straighten up and fly right.
Don’t be the stranger in the night?

I can only do it for a cause.
A belief that is strong, without pause.
That belief could be you.
I believe you could be true.

Your love is worth the effort.
Knowing I would no longer get hurt.
Achieving a love once thought a dream.
You and I as one is what I mean.

If you are there, I will not be square.
I am the one who will always be there.
I will be honest, faithful and true.
I would do this and more for you.

I knew you when
you were a girl all alone without love.
I took you in.
I wooed you , & showered you with love.
We had a love.
A love like no other that I had known.
Sent from above.
It was wondrous, & lovely. Had I known,
It would end.
When someone much better came along.
So why pretend.
It seemed right, but it was so wrong.
I’m all alone.
Alone in a world without love.
I wish I’d known.
It would end with you killing the dove.
What can I do?
I feel shattered beyond all repair.
If I had you.
I would no longer be in such despair.
I have to go.
My collar turned up against the wind.
I feel so low.
I feel I will never love again.
You will never know
That I miss you more than I can bare.
It is time for me to go.
My life is over. It’s not going anywhere.

Change Of Plans

I got $80 and change in my pocket.
I will soon be outta here, like a rocket.
I will hit the road & just knock around.
I have no idea just where I am bound.
I check my phone. I have a message.
I am surprised. It is from Jessie.
She says she wants to see me.
Things had never gotten that far, you see.
I was interested, but she wasn’t sure.
She mainly wanted to keep things pure.
Now, this puts me in a bind.
Do I go and leave her behind?
Or, do I stick around and answer her?
I have no idea what would occur?
I finally think: I have nothing in mind.
I will return her message this time.
I call to ask her what’s up?
She won’t answer, would be my luck.
She acted surprised & relieved too.
But, said “I wanted to meet with you.”
“I have something I want to say.”
“It would be better if it was today.”
I said “O.K., I’ll be right over.”
She lived across town on Dover.
I was there in about 10 minutes.
She came out to meet me with finesse.
She hopped in and snuggled close.
Said she missed me more than most.
Said she was ‘involved’ in the past.
But, all that was behind her, at last.
She felt she wasn’t being fair to me.
She did really like me, as I should now see.
I was surprised to hear all this.
But, I was glad I was here to enjoy the bliss.
She said she hoped I wouldn’t put her down.
I guess you know I stayed around.

All Of The Time

When I first decided you were the one.
I knew I’d made the right choice for life.
You’ve often kept me from becoming undone.
You have been my guiding light.

You’ve kept me from the stupid things I do.
You’ve guided me to the right path.
Without you with me to see it through.
My life would be a great big laugh.

From the very beginning,
its been you, sweetheart, all of the time.

I have come to depend on you.
You’ve been there in my darkest hours.
You have helped me to see it through.
I’m glad this kind of love is ours.

This is my way of telling you every day.
You are the one who made me who I am.
Without you there would be no other way.
Without you I wouldn’t be the man.

Its been your wisdom that has guided us.
I cannot make it on my own.
There is no one else that I would trust.
I belong with you, it has been shown.

From the beginning,
its been you, sweetheart, all of the time.

A Short Look At Health

I decided it is time to get healthy.
So I did a bunch of research to see.
I found I needed moderate exercise.
7-8 hours of sleep before I arise.
Major changes to my eating habits.
I would have to eat more like a rabbit.
If it came from God, it is okay.
If processed, discard, without delay.
Eat only grass fed dairy products.
Go organic is part of the process.
Most meats are perfectly fine.
Always keep ‘grass fed’ in mind.
Eggs from ‘free range’ chickens.
Wrong oil is worse than the dickens.
No trans fat. No vegetable oil.
Nothing rancid or that will spoil.
Coconut, olive, macadamia nut oils.
All are good. Less likely to spoil.
Forbid wheat, gluten, or grains.
They will cause you Arthritic pain.
Not to mention celiac disease.
Play it safe, if you please.
Avoid all types of sugar at all cost.
Use of honey or Stevia is not lost.
Artificial sweeteners are not worth it.
Don’t take the chance. Don’t take the risk.
Look into all of this on your own.
In time, your knowledge will have grown.
You will see the wisdom in all this.
Then do likewise. Start feeling really fit.

Camdon: The Place To Be

The city is a busy place.
Filled with people of every race.
There is crime and pollution too.
But, there is also love for you.
