They said his wife was ugly
Fools, they didn’t see her beauty
and expected him to have a
shallow, superficial trophy wife
because he was a famous actor.
But she was with him for him
and not for his fame and money.
And was more beautiful than
all of the cookie-cut beauties
who valued gold more than love
and were superficial and bland
compared to her sense of humor,
her intellect and her genuine love.

The days grow much warmer.
His body keeps growing colder.
Death is nagging him to die.
He keeps resisting the knell
for fear of eternal damnation
He takes more and more pills
to try to prolong the inevitable.
But the red-tailed evil one has
his eye on him and he knows
he’ll soon get his rightful due.

Bob Boyd

Crazy dreams, what do they mean?
Often don’t make any sense
as if on recreational drug trips
and Wizard of Oz meanderings.
I wake up and forget most of them.
A few of them sometimes stick.
Some people think we astral
travel when we have these dreams.
I don’t believe I’m leaving my body.
I just think I’m having crazy dreams.

Bob Boyd
