Ceiling riffage

Happy Birthday Seth!

I got a special memory 
of which to think today
It's an anniversary of 
of sorts, you could say
It marks a big transition
that I had when 33
the years of age
I had to pay
to reach epiphany
some reach it decades earlier
for me I had to wait
the waiting though was worth it much
I had to celebrate!
I called and rang my friends
and fam and everyone I knew
I felt the proudest man alive
My face in beaming grew
As on this day
I gave away 
the selfishness I knew
not by intent, by accident
by loving one that's new.
A brand new soul
Came to my door
And love I knew I did
in ways that were
insoluable
in ways that can't be hid
Here was my metamorphosis
Not merely human small
But another one transformed
in ways beyond recall
The single life
I once embraced
and swore I'd never leave
my attitude now turned around
a full reversery
or to say another way
1-8-O degrees
sorry if I've beaten down 
the horse of metaphor
the drift you get
I'm sure by yet
in words from me to yours
I was no longer self-possessed
I guess I'm tryin' to say
in such a long, turny
and extropolated way {? : ) }
The thing of all
I'd like to say
I can't forget to add:
the day I boast 
I grew the most:
when I became a dad.

To my firstborn:
Happy 12th birthday, big guy!  

The Monday Suckage Blues

Once upon a time
in the land of darn-it-all
After picking up my ass
from an unrewarding fall
the weekend that was mine
on the back of vino rouge
or seemed so at the time
there was nothing else to do...

Now the better part of me
will at another goal take aim
and down the bowl of porcelain
I'll now flush out the shame
As really, I be jazzin' ya
I never had a drop
Not so last night anyway
But I remember lots
of times that such was true
and always seeming close
those memories relived anew
are like a shadow ghost
reminding me
that all I have
or every can attain
can only happen if I stay alive
and keep it sane.

And so I say goodbye
to the follies of my past
to rearrange the scenery
and cut another path
and maybe on the way
are other habits taking form
while sheltering oneself
from an unsuspected storm
and waking from the slumber
of a cyber-chloroform

And curious for other things
I'm off to make new friends
ideas and forthcomings
to a new plateau ascend
excuting firm desire
by using what you got
instead of whining on the wire
or refusing to be taught
and now I find
a new collapse
of jittery demise
when I walk
with imagination as my eyes
and think of what
I wish that were
as if it now be here
banishing empty desire
fullfillment now sincere
Dyer said "don't wish for want,
as wanting more you'll get,
and if you want,
you didn't get
what you want....not yet"
Of course I paraphrase for verse
and for the verse's sake
I'll make this footnote
of the rules of which
these rhymes do take  : )
And so I guess
my point thus made
(if was there such a thing),
I'll make that thoughtful
escapade
to future wishes bring
into my thought reality
as if already true
and in this way
I'll make each day
a promise firm renewed
to never sway
and not delay
The dreams I now persue.

My love letter to Tumbler

This is it: my humble blog, 
indeed, the entry late
this I say just in case 
you cannot see a date
It follows from my blogger page
steveharleyremedy
and here I post 
so do not rage
in blogger rivalry
It wasn’t fair
If I not share
what on other sites was found, 
so here it be more properly
as data here and now
and not the redirected type
these words will meet your eyes
with happiness and peaceful warmth
I impart a lullaby
wishing you verdant dreams
and may you be adored
and sheltered 
if reprieve you need
from a sudden storm  : )

Sat am wailin'
