A paint-less frame hung on display, over ruled and control its domain.
Stop and snare is what one would do, when passing by this bare perfect square.
It pierced their hearts, eyes and ears with hated faded distributing thoughts.
Questioning their “if’s” “but’s” & “why not’s” ?
Silently privately each one’s thoughts ran through their mind beginning to grind.
AMAZING
Animated illusions became their intrusion as they watched the empty frame.
Colors sprung on and off with thoughts on what was once an empty frame.
Stand back or you’ll get struck with conversation colorful thoughts.
Purples, Reds, Blues, Greens, and Yellows began taking forms of those who fetched past thoughts.
Purples – He loved me, he loved me not, hell… I got tired of figuring it out.
Reds– She promised, lied and didn’t stop. Some nerve, I deserved much better then that.
Blues – I gave it my all, sacrificed and prayed, still I wasn’t enough. What a schmuck!
Green – All I ever wanted was peace and harmony why was he driven by greed and self proclaiming needs.
Yellow – I needed to be free couldn’t be tied down not without living, and she had needs?
An empty frameis a crazy thing,defaming becameits blaming game.

How can it be a man like Robin who seemed full of life with money, friends and family yet he is gone? : (
Why his blue eyes alone were so warm he could transform any frown into a smile with a glance of his own.
He had a gift efficiently instantly volá, you’re reform.
It’s just not right a man like that would be so sad to want to die and leave it all behind?
National Institute Of Mental health says more than 38,000 die by suicide each year? Why that’s more then war or murder and natural disasters combined?
Why such a closet case?
“BECAUSE OF THE STIGMA ATTACHED TO IT” ~~shouts thee person who just now read this.
Perhaps in time once again in his own special way his final act continues to shine a spotlight that will bring back smiles,hope and in many ways awareness to those that suffer silently.
Awareness is everything you see and doesn’t that mean something to thee?
You will be missed but never forgotten.

I do not now recall how we got on this subject all those years ago, but mother shared this advice early one morning, while we were driving home from one of my gigs. She confided, “In order to be interesting you must first be interested in others”. I chewed this over for a few days and decided to give it a try. I began applying her theory and saw that it produced results and gave me a relaxed entrance into conversations. I found that it was a win-win formula for any person to try.
Should you find you want to truly connect at the next meeting, dinner party, convention, or the grocery store, it’s time to build those people skills. The simplest way to do this is to figure out what they’re interested in, by asking leading questions. Ask ones that require more than a yes or no response. Word…
A few weeks ago I went to see the movie Les Miserables, young Cosette the little girl who dreams of a better life sings a song “Castle On A Cloud”
Lyrics are:
There is a castle on a cloud,
I like to go there in my sleep,
Aren’t any floors for me to sweep,
Not in my castle on a cloud.
There is a room that’s full of toys,
There are a hundred boys and girls,
Nobody shouts or talks too loud,
Not in my castle on a cloud.
There is a lady all in white,
Holds me and sings a lullaby,
She’s nice to see and she’s soft to touch,
She says “Cosette, I love you very much.”
I know a place where no one’s lost,
I know a place where no one cries,
Crying at all is not allowed,
Not in my castle on a cloud.
I later thought how most of us as a child must have at one time or another dreamed about living in a castle or playing in one or even getting married in one.
I personally dreamed about playing inside one usually finding some unknown secret passageway no one ever knew existed. Yet, it was I who had found it and it of course lead to an under ground tunnel, to an unknown entrance that opened up to an entire new world of wonders.
What kind of wonders you might ask?
For some reason in my dreams there was always a grand white stallion horse with wings I could ride and fly with. A few unicorns and a few huge very loving Snow Leopards that could communicate with me.
Today there are wonderful Castles all over the world and even today if I could, I would love to go and play in each and every one of them and explore each and every crack and turn any stone and brick to see if there are any secret passageways that would lead me to new and exciting adventure. It would be fun indeed.
Castles I’d love to explore today.
1. On the South Coast of Cornwall (St. Michael’s Mount) in England.
That’s St. Michaels as in the great heavenly Archangel worrier.
He was known for strength and victory over dragons is an expression of the struggle of the newly-arrived Christian faith against native paganism in this area.
Take a closer look and tell me why there couldn’t be any secret passageways here?
There simply has to be!
2. The Edinburgh Castle
Most of these buildings date back to the 16th century. St Margaret’s Chapel is the oldest and dates back to the 12th century.
Now tell me if there wouldn’t be any hidden room at this place?
3. The Spis Castle, and one of the biggest in Central Europe.
Also dates back to the 12th century but the area was inhabited at least 7000 years.
If this place looks a bit familiar it’s because it was used as a location for films, such as Dragonheart (1996), Phoenix, Kull the Conqueror (1997), The Lion in Winter (2003), The Last Legion (2006).
4. The Alcázar of Segovia (literally, Segovia Castle) is a stone fortification,
located in the old city of Segovia, Spain. Rising out on a rocky crag above the confluence of the rivers Eresma and Clamores near the Guadarrama mountains, it is one of the most distinctive castle-palaces in Spain by virtue of its shape – like the bow of a ship.
The Alcázar was originally built as a fortress but has served as a royal palace, a state prison, a Royal Artillery College and a military academy since then.
5. The Bodiam Castle a 14th-century near Robertsbridge in England.
It was built in 1385 by Sir Edward Dalyngrigge, a former knight of Edward III, with the permission of Richard II, ostensibly to defend the area against French invasion during the Hundred Years’ War. AMAZING>>>>>no?
Standing at a colossal 35 feet, the towers of Bodiam Castle, provide a 360 degree view of the surrounding grounds, allowing for superior optical advantages.
6. Lets not forget The Magic Castle of Sleeping Beauty
These are just a few but a good start to begin an adventure.
How can something so plain and simple be so misunderstood? She said I didn’t care? What the hell was she thinking? Again he took her side? Why are my words being made to seem so dehumanize? In fact I swear I didn’t say much at all? Yet was over-ruled to seem nasty, offensive and cruel? Got lectured on how she’s had it so rough? I’m so tough?
Get real you fool! She’s got you wrapped underneath her pitiful stool. She’ll step on you as soon as she’s in need of getting high. Why? Oh why? Do you choose to wear those scales on your eyes? Lies I tell you lies and I am tired of feeling wicked in your eyes. She better get smart she better wise up. She thinking there’s trouble? She’s got no clue!
IT’S A TERRIBLE INJUSTICE when you love someone so much! Don’t let it happen to you. Love and giving only breaks you in two. Kisses and slaps you at the same time. Be dehumanizing and look like a fool, its better then being accused of what’s not true.!!!
So lately I’ve been thinking about King Solomon quite a bit. As He was the wisest man who ever lived on the face of the earth as G_d Himself gave him the gift of wisdom.
Probably because I find myself troubled lately as my daughter whom I love more than life seems to suddenly not give two cents about anything I have to say. Granted she is 24 years of age and yes I understand she’s an adult.
I’d even go so far as to say she doesn’t have to take any of my advice at this age. However what has me troubled is that she doesn’t even care to hear what I say because she claims she already knows what I am going to say before I say it. Which I doubt. – Might come close to it but even so, she hushes me up with her actions before I even speak a word.
Then later sends me a text saying she didn’t mean to be rude to me, it’s just that my words hurt her feelings so she rather not listen to them.
Troubled and looking for some kind of guidance my thoughts therefore are those towards King Solomon since he was granted a heart of understanding and has many words of wisdom that included wealth, and power.
For those of you who aren’t familiar with the story; Solomon was the son of King David, of Israel. Solomon was appointed King right before his father died when he was only 12 years old. Shortly after that, God appeared to him in a dream as the boy was troubled thinking he couldn’t live up to his father’s greatness.
In his dream God tells the boy he will grant him a wish and he could ask for anything he wants.
To which Solomon say’s: “I am but a small child … Give therefore your servant an understanding heart to judge your people.
His request pleases God so much that he tells him,”Because you have not requested riches and honor but only that which would benefit all the people, I will give you not only an
understanding heart like none other before or after you … but also
riches and honor like no other king in your days.” (1 Kings 3:7-13)
And He did, he became the wisest of all men, not just Torah “wisdom” but secular knowledge of science and more.
Solomon also built the Temple in Jerusalem and reigned over Israel’s golden age.
THEN the idea came to me.
If she won’t listen to anything I have to say and is big on texting, then what I am going to do is text her one of King Solomon’s Proverbs each day.
And so the texting begins, one Proverb daily at a time…
The way of fools seems right to them,
but the wise listen to advice.
Fools show their annoyance at once,
but the prudent overlook an insult.
The wise in heart accept commands,
but a chattering fool comes to ruin.
Whoever heeds discipline shows the way to life,
but whoever ignores correction leads others astray.
Where there is strife, there is pride, but wisdom is found in those who take advice.
Why do some people get high on making others look bad?
If that wasn’t enough, some even continue to go on and on about the same old thing when in fact its pretty obvious these x-groupies have nothing better to do then to troll around in hopes of making themselves the center of attention.
OK?….I’ll give them that.
I guess some people just really need to do that?
Or maybe its sheer ignorance; like when someone makes fun of someone with a disability? The drama must make them feel strong?
At first I was annoyed because I happen to know the facts of this particular event and their so call wanta-be story of theirs. But, I found myself becoming amused with the fabrications of their facts as they did indeed get juicier and juicier. So my thoughts were “oh, who cares, let them have their fun”.
However, months later I have to write:
Oh please, underwriter, it’s become your disease.
I know of a groupie that’s displeased. You’ve become a tease with no guarantee.
Proceeding with gossip and rumors foresees ill will a skill that kills only you.
In fact I’m melancholy you have too much folly.
Literati you’re not.
Poor little Crystal Sharp, fury can’t be much fun being known as a writer scorned overly done.
Poor little Crystal Sharp unskillful and cripple belittles and believes its beneficial and fun.
Rejected, feels dejected, I’m sorry that isn’t fun.
Writing things that are ulterior to you makes you seem anything but superior, its desperate and dumb.
Yes I confess I too was amused with your writing skewed.
Watching swing-dig-in of rhythms of rambling canning messy at first was fun.
But I took a polled, now stale and old.
What was once fun now overrun.
Even your animals aren’t having fun.
Silencing can be enlightening; you’re reporting it’s become disquieting.
Sometimes you can’t help looking stupid and dumb.
One may have been a fool, but there’s nothing more foolish then continually being angry and bitter, GET OVER IT ALREADY!
