Why am I still addicted to You?
Mountain Lions Harbinger of Doom
Coffee Time
The Last Baby on Earth
The Last Light House
Why am I still addicted to you?
There is a mystery that has haunted me
For almost 45 years
45 years ago
I met you in a dream
And 38 years ago
You walked off a bus
And into my life
And nothing was the same
Since the day we met
In the very beginning
I was addicted to you
Why Did I fall for you
Why did I become so hopelessly
madly in love with you
Why was it love at first sight
And why can I know
Then I had met you before
All these are questions
that still haunt me to this day
All I know is
After 45 years
I am still Addicted to you
Mountain lion of doom
throughout the West
mountain Lions are on the move
Coyotes too
The lions and coyottes feast on deer
Dogs, cats and other animals
And other animals
Driven by spread of suburbia into the mountain fastness
That was their home
The mountain lions and coyottes
are are spreading east and south
Not just in the wild west anymore
And somehow it seems
That the mountain Lions
Are not just out for the deer
The mountain Lions
are coming after humanity
While attacks are few and far between
The mountain Lions have been known
To attack dogs, cats and the occasional human child
And even the occasional unwary hiker in the mountains
And one can see these mountain lion
In the mountain parks
And they are scary indeed
It seems that nature
Is on the move
and that nature
May not be nice
To mankind
As we continue to despoil the land
Pollute the world
And overpopulated the world
Tomorrow Perhaps Our time will come
The Mountain Lions Will be hunting
As humans become prey
After The end of civilization
The mountain Lions therefore
Are a harbinger of future down
The last baby on earth
The last baby on earth
Lies in a manger
hidden by his mother
The last baby on earth
maybe be the last man on earth
As mankind has become infertile
As mankind can no longer reproduce
Alas the last baby on earth
Is celebrated
As a hero
In hopes
that there will be other babies
yet to be born
But the last baby on earth f
Knows he may be the last man on earth
Coffee Time
I love the smell of coffee
First thing in the morning
I start my day day inhaling the aroma of the freshlly brewing coffee
Anticipating the taste and feel of the coffee soon to be consumed
I love the taste of coffee
First thing in the morning
I eagerly anticipate
The taste of coffee
I love the feel of coffee
Dark Liquid flowing into my system
I love the color of coffee
Dark Black as hell
And yet
There is a hint
Of the sweetness of heaven
I love the effects of coffee
It Picks me up
Gets me going
Kicks my ass into gear
It gets me hyper
It gets me through the darkest morning
And yes I love
The nightmares that coffee produces
As I tried to sleep
Fighting the coffee
I tossed and turned
delicious nightmares
Turn into stories
and turns into poems
and even turns into a novel or two
All of this is because of my daily cup of coffee
I love my coffee
And always will
The Last Light House
The last man on earth
Is walking along the coast
Heading to the lighthouse in the distance
That has Inexplicably turned on the lights
The last man on earth
Is suspicious that this this might be
Just an automated machinery
He walks towards the light house
in darkening night
And sees the light
Piercing the night
And dreams
That perhaps there may
be someone at home
He says Hello
As he enters the lighthouse
Only to meet death
He walks into the lighthouse
And sees what he has seen
In every house
on every corner
In the entire Land
Nothing but death sitting there
Death
As the plague took another victim
The last man on earth
Made himself A steak dinner
In the last lighthouse On earth
And played the light Out on the water
Hoping Hoping hoping
There will be ship
in the ocean
and that perhaps
he might be saved
