WANTED…CLOSE COMMUNICATING!

WANTED CLOSE COMMUNICATING!

–

The problem was both had hurts,

Committed by trousers and skirts…

Commitment to trust

Gathered rust,

Both thought the other curt.

–

Walls and grudges build

Despite commitments to yield…

Many a marriage

Is disparaged,

By combat in the field.

–

Obvious one doesn’t understand,

The other’s health demands…

One bends over,

The other takes over

And pushes one into badlands.

–

The verbose one wonders why

The silent one won’t try

to open

As they’re hoping,

To fill them in bye-and-bye.

–

The silent one’s thoughts run sarcastic,

The other one listens to drastic…

And half the time

Is not so inclined,

They both fall into that basket!

HARD-TO-HEAR HAIKU

(Adult Topic)

–

Become impotent

His fading manhood laments…

But what is inside?

-JEC

–

Little feeling left,

No place left to vent the ache…

Must thinking change, too?

–JEC

–

Engorgement all gone,

Being faithful accepts lack…

No one left to love.

–JEC

–

How to love without?

Can a man still be a man”’

His woman knows that!

–JEC

–

Appreciates form,

Less likely liquid lusting…

Why keep the old ways?

–JEC

–

Is safer this way…

For all women that he sees,

Much less threatening!

–JEC

Power lust remains,

That…no non-phallic can cure…

Bad apples near tree.

WHEN TROUBLES COME…by Carl Gooch

When Troubles come

O Lord, it’s in your strength I rejoice,

And in your salvation that I’m blessed.

You have answered my hearts desire,

Your ears have heard my soul’s request.

Precious treasures you have given me;

You have wrapped me in a cloak of love.

I cried out from deaths door and you came,

Grace answered with mercy from above.

O Lord, splendor and majesty you bestow;

In your salvation your mighty glory shines.

You have smiled on me, and I am blessed,

It is upon your holy word this child dines.

My old heart now jumps with in me,

I dance like a young boy giddy and light.

I shall not be moved, I trust the Lord,

His love guards me through the night.

I will sing praises of your love and power;

My heart rejoices and my soul is at peace.

In times of great trial, when troubles come,

I’ll rest assured that your love will never cease.
