What Would I Do?

What Would I Do?

***

If you were the sky 
What would I do?
I would be a bird 
Fly away with you 

If you were the ocean 
What would I do?
Build me a boat 
Sail away with you 

If you were the moon 
What would I do?
Run naked and wild 
I would howl 
Up at you

If you were lonely
What would I do?
Introduce you to 
My best friend 
Winnie the Pooh

If you needed to 
Laugh 
What would I do? 
Make Chicken 
Sounds and hop
Like a kangaroo 
In front of you 

If you were down 
What would I do?
Remind you I'm 
Your dear friend 
Who will always 
Be there for 
You 

If you were sick 
What would I do?
Keep you warm 
Loved and fed
I would offer 
Up my health
For you

If you were a kiss 
What would I do? 
I would be 
Damn scared 
I would do 
All in my 
Power to 
Not
Kiss you 

If you tried to 
Seduce me 
What would I do?
Run for the hills 
In fear, I would 
Touch you 

If I fell in 
Love with you 
What would I do?
I would buy a 
Plane ticket 
To Kathmandu 

If you loved a man 
What would I do 
Give you both 
My blessings 
Pray he took 
Good care of you 

If a man hurt you  
What would I do 
Blow his balls off 
With a shotgun 
Tear him in two 

If a judge 
Did you wrong 
What would I do?
Stick his head 
In water until 
He turned blue 

If I had one wish 
What would it be?
You'd be friends 
Forever with me 

If you asked me 
For anything 
What would I do?
You know damn 
Well I would 
Give anything 
To you

I confess 
I love you 
I can't help it 
I'm a man 
To feel 
Otherwise 
Would be an
Unnatural 
Thing
To do 

Fear not 
I promise 
No 
Worries
I would
Never do 
Anything 
That 
Would 
Hurt
My 
Precious
Friendship 
With 
You 

*** 

Seriously 
My words 
Are true 
I'm not 
making 
No 
Stickaroo 
If I felt in 
Danger of 
Being 
Super 
Naughty 
With you
I would 
Banish 
Myself to 
Timbuktu 

*** 

I love you!

Missing Self

Missing Self *** Yikes, my family has become concerned by my inability to find any solid fixed self, what to do? Best to keep quiet about my suspicion of their lack of inherent self. And who or what has been doing this searching and looking anyhow, like a gerbil spinning on a wheel? Those Buddhists,  I tell you, they appear so peaceful  (sometimes ) but are secretly a radical group of self deniers, how wonderfully subversive.  Maybe I have been a Buddhist all along and just realized it. But then I look for the Buddhist and Bam!  Same problem, there's nothing there. I must confess enjoying my nonexistent self today, uh oh, that could mean trouble. Now that I have realized my life is just a dream am wondering what comes next, or if there is a "next." Maybe I will keep looking a little more to be sure no self is to be found. The way things are going I might end up a Buddhist. Now not only can I not find myself, I can't find anyone else either.  I close ...

Springs Healing *** I’m down and I’m low You won’t let me know What you’re really feeling I opened up my heart As I did from the start Now I think you’re leaving You say it’s not the end That I am your true friend Yet I know your lying So why don’t you just go Before the winter snow I can taste this dying I don’t want your blood Or the coming flood Of the tears you’re crying Because only in our end Will our hearts mend And wake up in springs healing *** David Penn Arndt 2022 *** Artwork Cynthia Re Robbins

Lead me gently to your enchanted lands

Lead me gently to your enchanted lands 🕊️ Oh in our dreams how we hold each other close I whisper in your ear of all the women in the world It's you I love most. A woman like you I believe it not possible, It could not be, but then I found myself drowning, so joyfully, blissfully within your inner seas I fell upon my knees It's you babe In all in every way I wish to please My love's real baby It's not something That will vanish Disappear Leave Blowing out Space and time Loves pure Holding each other Verse meter rhyme Would you take my hand Lead me to your me Enchanted Promised Land Because then my dear How vast My love For you abides You would fully Completely Understand 🕊️ David Arndt  Sirens Of Titan  Down on the Horizon  Line (c) 2022 🌹 Gustav Klimt
