Late at Night

Posted on October 2, 2022 by Mystertim

Three AM and I’m staring at the mirror,

No tears left, my eyes are bone dry.

Searching for meaning and endlessly asking,

Why won’t you let me die?

The Cold Night Air

The seasons are finally changing,

And it’s not just in my head.

The nights are definitely colder because,

I found a kitty in my bed.

Missing You

Winter is coming, would that I could be stronger,

As those desolate nights slowly become longer.

If only you were in my arms and by my side,

The light we create would cause the darkness to hide.

And Sammy Too

People come, people go,

And time keeps slipping by.

Only reason I’m still around,

Is for fresh blueberry pie.

Glad I Woke Up

Fevered delirium late one night,

My blood sugar had dropped so low,

Figure by my bed was tapping my foot,

Saying, “It’s time to go.

Summer Loving

Posted on August 27, 2022 by Mystertim

Warm summer nights are coming to an end,

And some folks don’t know what they are missing.

My partner and I headed out to the lake,

For some long, slow, hot, wet kissing…

Sammy’s POV

Life isn’t easy,

Life isn’t fair.

Why won’t Dad let me,

Kick him out of his chair?

She Would Destroy It

Posted on August 13, 2022 by Mystertim

Something has stirred Sammy’s primal force,

She’s cool, but deadly like James Bond in Prague.

What can I do to soothe this most savage of beasts,

Maybe go to the park and get her a Chicago Dog?

Out of Fried Chicken

Not quite as young as I was once,

Some Sunday traditions with Sammy remain,

Instead of sleeping all morning to recover from the night,

It’s cold pizza for breakfast and watching the rain.

Having Sammy Helps

Posted on July 30, 2022 by Mystertim

If I look a little weathered,

Or perhaps a wee bit scruffy.

Just had a total knee replacement,

And don’t feel as cute as Buffy.
