Hi and thanks for posting here,
I'm glad to bring some laughs and cheer,
Some insights too from my warped head,
And some things better left unsaid,...
But in this season warm and fun,
I hope to share a little sun,
And wish you all the very best,
Stay strong and healthy, live with zest!
- Erik -

Ever see profiles with multiple gals?
Where three to six women are shown?
Ever wonder which one might be her
Since she has no pictures alone?
You read the descriptions
She posts with a cheery grand voice
"It's me with some of my friends!"
Unless you're a psychic, what choice?
Then the description in "About me"
"I'm the one in every photo!"
The only problem is all of your friends
Are there in each pic so we don't know!

Posted: 12/27/2008 4:51:56 PM | - THE STONE -
The old stone sits so firm and so strong
They shelter beneath it when weather goes wrong
They rest agains't it when life makes them tired
Or climb to the summit when they just feel wired
The stone they have carved on and left it to stand
It's textures and form so worn and yet grand
The stone sits alone without any more
An icon supportless before what's in store

Posted: 12/28/2008 12:24:32 AM | - THE RIGHT SPOT! -
Oh how I wonder and ponder deep
While talking to Dianne deprived of sleep
If I had myself a pheasant feather
Where is the tender point altogether?
Could she be ticklish beneath her feet?
And would she tell me? Or share deciet?
How can I find out the very best spot?
Oh Goodness sake, what a problem I've got!
But not to worry for I am a thinker
Broaching the subject I play and I tinker
Then to my liking the spot meant to please
Oh yes Dianne, it's the back of her knees!
Will I forget this long before the cruise?
Will my mind fade out as if it's confused?
Even though written down here in this poem,
I'de still remember where ever I roam!

Posted: 12/28/2008 8:35:59 AM | That was a fast write as a test of how fast I could come up with a poem. Odd subject but it was just a few minutes to get it done.
At any rate;
- ENJOY THE DAY -
The sun has risen, so have I
A day to smile and view the sky
A time to live and get outside
So no more comp, it's time to ride!

Posted: 12/28/2008 9:29:53 PM | Happy Holidays viking...muaah...
I wanted to leave this silliness in here but you were gettin' so serious...
goggles
and onto the sidewalks of the One of a Kind…
they stumble so weary, so bleary, half blind
they bellow in voices that carry outside
and pee anywhere there's a doorway to hide
bidding goodnight they depart the saloon
and lurch toward their homes where they'll sleep until noon
wearing beer goggles they won't sleep alone
but the hookups they form might turn them to stone
when they hit the snooze button and roll into that face
they'll cover it up with an old pillowcase
all steathy attempts to escape will be met
with renewed affection from their erstwhile pet
and so they depart from last evenings floozy
with stomach and legs that are feeling quite woozy
their pick-o-meter's left them flabbergasted
they wish that their fishing pole slumbered uncasted
and so my suessels an end to this fable
just leave your beer goggles at home on the table
and take your wing man or wing woman with you
before you wind up with thing one and thing two

Posted: 12/31/2008 3:08:51 PM | ERIK'S TIDES IN THE BRACKISH WATERS -
The Serpent's in the attic
The Norseman on the beach
The wolves pace is fanatic
The eyes so out of reach
The women they can see him
The men can feel his will
Some think he lurks in dark whim
While others bent on ill
A sword lies in the closet
His artwork in the Hall
And memory's deposit
It tries to forge a wall
His car is old and cluttered
The mind is fresh and strong
Before him those who shuddered
See where the Gods went wrong
The animals will side him
And children close in too
Alone with art and music
His counsel strong but few
The omnipresent matter
Is shifting by his wake
Before him fame will scatter
To win but still mistake
To nurture Halls of Giants
A poem for Queens and Kings
A genius still defiant
Who set his will in rings

Posted: 1/4/2009 10:47:50 AM | - SILENT GIANT -
Silent the giant in the cold sea
Swimming with grace so easy and free
Straining the krill from the polar flow
Plankton and richness from deep below
Oh how the giant is long and sleek
Powerful beauty yet gentle meek
The wanderer vast in the ocean pods
Just trying to live and defy the odds
Silent it seems but not if you listen
So grand is the song that mankind is missin'
What songs will be sung if the giant is gone?
How long will the chain of life go on?

Posted: 1/4/2009 11:30:39 AM | always they seemed to me
the guardians of this earth
the gentlest gods
the Gawains of honor and might
whose eyes haunt me ceaselessly
pleading, pleading
for the insanity to stop
and if you never saw that
how could you not hear it
in their mournful songs
the plaintive wail
underscoring the truth
that seas are merely
all their tears
trying to teach us
humanity | |

Posted: 1/4/2009 1:09:56 PM | no thanks ever needed
for you are the gift
that returned to us
the balm easing past
wounds and terrors
i marvel at the men amassed here
the sheer number, depth of them
who truly have souls
knowing how to heal
hollow out a cave of permanent strength
the weakest can find refuge in
for too many years
"men" was a four letter word
fraught with pain and terror
shrapnel to be wrenched from my flesh
excoriated from the caverns of loss
heavy and weighting me to fogs of misery
flamethrowers torching holes in my heart
bullets breaking through the viscera and bone of me
but those men are now ghosts floating past these men
into the hell they created and deserve
these men, here, like you
surrounded by an aura of gentleness
gracing this space where no shadow
will ever be allowed to threaten me again | |

Posted: 1/5/2009 12:49:21 PM | Apparently the Norwegian and the Japanese are jealous of whales, as they persist in poaching endangered whale species such as Minke and Fin whales. There is an international moratorium on commercial whaling, but the Japanese and Norwegian governments and private interests don't care. As long as there is a yen or a kroner to be made, these greedy @#!&^%!@#'s will continue to deprive the world of Cetaceans.
There's more about it on my website, under eco news.

Or more to the point,

The beach at night is ever strong
The waves that share an endless song
The moon that glows while clouds move on
The tide that sweeps the shells then gone

Posted: 1/6/2009 7:49:33 AM | - WHAT IF? -
What if you opened the cereal box
But found it full of cheetos?
What if all that made the stocks
Were blank and incognito?
What if you woke up in a pool
With a gator staring?
What if you set aside the race
Not competion sharing?
What if the folks you thought were weak
Were friends in times of need?
What if you could not see the goal
Or your soul was not freed?
What if the toxin from above
Was seeping into you?
What if you chose to lend a hand
To enemies untrue?
What if the crisis in your heart
Was nothing more than fear?
What if you stood when counted out
And made your mind so clear?
What would you do if you just changed
And all your world seemed strange?
Would you withdraw and hide away
Or jump now rearranged?

Posted: 1/6/2009 4:48:24 PM | - WATER VOID -
As the winds blow strong
Across the endless sea
I need to stear my boat
To where that land may be
I need to clear the storm
Before the wave give rise
Beneath the calm of sun
I know the tempest lies
I follow gulls across
To where the promise rests
I paddle hard and strong
Can I withstand the tests
The Mako looks at me
As if to say "Hi Lunch!"
But I am not that weak
I pack a mighty punch
If only I keep strong
And push beyond the pain
There's got to be some land
Surely I'm not insane
I know the thirst so well
The sea I cannot drink
This is a living Hell
As I bake to the brink
The night is dark and soft
When I can't take much more
But then the crunch of sand
In dark I've struck the shore
There are no words quite right
There is no way to state
The relief with the light
The fade of gloomy fate

Posted: 1/7/2009 7:42:40 AM | - THE HAND OF A STRANGER -
The hand of a stranger writing a note
While seated at Borders book store
And my in an aisle looking at books
My mind seeking out to explore
A movement just in my periphery
A sight from my angle so grand
No view of the woman to which it belongs
Just a ledge and her beautiful hand
I'm not a fetish person obsessed
With anyone's hands or their feet
But I can admire an elegant form
Like the hand that I saw from my seat
I glanced and I noted the long slender nails
Painted and then glossed to a sheen
The way that she held the pen as she wrote
A note to my eyes just unseen
The pause as she thought and tapped her nails
Like the drumming of some tiny being
The way that her fingers moved once again
And I thought of the hand I was seeing
I wondered a moment at her soft skin
And what her fine hand may have known?
I wondered if it was well held?
Or if her hand was her's alone?
I wondered if it was an artistic hand?
That painted or drew oh so well?
I wondered if it was an athletic hand?
From where I thought it's hard to tell
I thought of that hand gripped soft in mine
I thought of that hand stroking face
Of what her nails would feel like in hair?
Of what things her hand could erase?
How odd that a hand so perfect and nice
Should carry such thoughts in this place
I got up and left not wanting to spoil
The thoughts with a person or face

Posted: 1/7/2009 8:01:16 AM |  Erik, you remind me of me~ lol...that poem about those "Strangers hands" , I often get caught up in those kind of things...lmao~! Hey babes , its a Good thing~
I have met a couple sweet men in the Border cafe/ bookstore~ lol :)
You never noticed me checkin
you
while you lingered in fantasy poetry
true
I had already noticed you
your jeans so tight
Your eyes all aglue
to the books
Eyebrows raising , here
there
I had to go sit in a chair
just gazing off
In your direction
the perfection of a man
with a fantasy thought~!
Only wish I could have
guided that hand
to another place...
another time!
:) lol hugs jules
