So I left her in New Orleans…👿

So I left her in New Orleans…👿

🤢

She treated me bad bad bad
Arising from darkness
Had a mission
Hatred division
She loved one thing
Destruction
She came into people's lives
Appearing in a way
Made you feel
She cared
She loved
Fake self she projected
Soon it became its opposite
She knew everything
There was nothing to say
To one who knows all
Who lies about her past
Has bad intentions

Well in my book

"That dog doesn't hunt, go eat some pickled pig lips, or raw crawfish baby!"

Wanted to say this to her
Never did
Because
She scared living hell out of me

She wore a aluminum foil hat
I was struck by lightning
Multiple times
Whor an rusty pin
On her bathing suit
From the 1964 
Presidential
Election

It said
"Vote for Barry Goldwater"
Funny thing is
She didn't even believe in voting

Our problems boil down to this..
She never opened her heart
Beat me with a broom
Wouldn't wash my underwear
Smelled bad
Slept in the basement
In the dirt
Feces

She ate my underwear..
I have no more underwear

Said I was impotent 
That she looked
Down there 
But couldn't find it

But it's not true
She never 
Looked

On top of that

She said I was horrible in bed to others…
Especially my friends
Ruthlessly
Torture 
Me

Meanwhile I'd never been in bed with her
For the entire 10 years we were married

I would try to talk with her about these issues
I suggested couples counseling

But her fangs would come out
Shed hiss sickly green mist
It starts snapping

I feared I'd lose my foot
She's steel trap
Always shut
If not careful
I'd be trapped
Footless
Not fancy 
Free

Threw my guitar over a Cliff
Burned my poetry
Sold our children
Convicted 
Killing
Our 
Pets

Lighted my hair on fire with a blowtorch

These were small things she did

So I gave up on Betty Lou

She had a sentence in jail

She was about to get out

I realized no matter

How much I loved her

It was hopeless

What was I to do?

So I escaped
While she was in prison
Gave no forwarding address
The boxcar out West 

I finally realized

She would never change 

She would never stop 

Stripping at Big Daddy's

So I left her in New Orleans…

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
