Remembering Women I Was Romantically Involved With

Woman-less now for years, sometimes I remember
women I was romantically involved with in my life

and damn! for better or for worse, they
sure made my life more interesting

through, laughter, joys, heartaches and tears
they brought fascinating times to my years

and despite the disappointments, the heartaches,
the risks and uncertainties

sometimes, though rarely, I think I’d like to experience
some of those times again

as I remember how wonderful it was to feel a woman’s
tender touch, to see her eyes looking lovingly at me.

An Elk Sucked Up Into a UFO

In 1999, forestry workers claimed to have seen
a UFO hovering over a herd of elk

supposedly one elk got separated from the herd
with the UFO silently, purposely, following it

moments later, the elk got sucked up into the UFO
without any signs of sliding doors or apertures

skeptics believe the forestry workers made the story up
maybe to spoof people who would believe them

I am one of those people who believe them
based on what I read about the sighting

based on all I’ve learned about aliens and many
UFO sightings all over the world.

Dead Women on My YouTube Page

My YouTube page is full of videos of dead women
young women murdered by evil, soulless men
my heart breaks for all these young women
who were often happy in their photos enjoying life
before they were brutally robbed of their precious lives
because all these women being murdered
outrages and saddens me so much
I’ll probably write a hundred more poems about it
I’ll never stop wondering why we have to have
rampant, unrestrained evil in this passing existence
and why young women in nearly incalculable numbers
have to have their lives ended by bloodthirsty monsters
instead of lives free from the horrors inflicted upon them
and I also often wonder hundreds of times or more
where’s the God of love in all of this?
