Sensing You
Winter, tasting snowflakes fall upon my face
Summer, watching the sun’s wonder and its grace
Spring, smelling the red sweet rose in the breeze
Fall, hearing the swaying of falling leaves
Touching Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall
You are my constant love throughout it all
Carisa Adrienne
Beautiful.

It’s so hard to watch someone we love have so many challenges. It’s especially difficult when they didn’t do anything to cause them. Those are the most inspiring people of all. How they rise from the depths of hell with courage and determination. Thank you for telling me.
I truly mean that. I’m grateful you share her progress with me. I think about her often. I don’t know if I’ve ever told you about my boy? He reminds me of your sister with courage.

Status Quo
FEBRUARY 4, 2015 / DOUGSTUBER / EDIT
Untitled We are all humans .
There is no doubt, even though this poem is 16 years old, the this type of problem
is now a lot worse than back then.
Status Quo
For now the streets are cluttered:
The poor kill off the poor,
But this wonโt last forever
If the โQuoโ keeps getting worse.
Guns for sale in neighborhoods
Where crime is the only living
Quarts and vials and bullets
Take without ever giving.
โInnocentโ bystanders
Are the ones to blame.
Standing by in times like these
Leaves everything the same.
The quo goes โliving standards
Will be on the decline.โ
While multi-national barons
Continue their money climb.
No chums around a fireplace
When you canโt pay the bills.
While money-man is traveling
In search of bigger thrills.
Sooner rather than later
The poor will raise their arms.
Replacing all the suited men
Regardless of the harm.
The system as we know itโ
Is fading thanks to this:
The greedy havenโt realized
Their life ainโt worth a piss.
The ticking clock inside the bomb
Has passed the witching hour.
There is little hope for most,
So when will freedom flower?
It will when people with the time
Turn to lend a hand,
It will when greedy governors
Give back a hunk of land
The quo has made it possible
For us to live like rats.
Your life to them means nothing
You could end up a stat.
As the status quo gets worse
Violence rules the day.
We better help each other now.
Let us pray.

Your passion makes me want to leave another poem for this exact post.
So here you go, and more on theme this time I hope.
Bright eyes dig up a question from generations ago:
You want to know why the wind blew us
Together, how our sons will grow, when we will
Meet again, where will we be as one again?
Training gives you the desire to examine cause and
Effect. Experiences about as wide apart as possible
Come at us, yet we harmonize, learn each otherโs secrets,
Give what we know the other will love, provide
Sanctuary in a world spinning out of control for so
Many. This I offer to distinguish myself from regular
Men, be they handsome or young: a complete heart
With continued support, undying gratitude, massage
Therapy, attempts at cooking, quite a way with words.
I expect you to smile when we chat, remain a solid
Force, a muse for my art, the reason I will always
Yearn for more, forever the target of happy life,
Memories (plans?) and a fresh heart, made whole
By the time we spent sincerely swirled, sufficiently
Molded to continually receive jolts of good news,
Connected forever by this love, complex, alive, strong.
And to answer the question, no I don’t leave poems willy-nilly, but only in the case of affectionate connection. Usually are close philosophical match is required. An emotional match also can trigger the “Send-a-poem” response.
