Lose ‘High Hopes’, Gain A Sister

Lose ‘High Hopes’, Gain A Sister

When I first saw you, I was thunder struck.
You were driving by in a flat bed truck.
Sun burst blonde hair falling free.
The prettiest sight I could ever see.
You pulled into a restaurant parking lot.
You got out and you were looking hot.
I pulled in and parked there too.
No, I wasn’t really following you.
I was only going in for a bite to eat.
It seemed my heart was following my feet.
When I got in, you were at the counter.
I sat next to you. My heart did flounder.
You said “Good morning.” I almost passed out.
I stammered a reply, trying not to shout.
You had eyes so blue I almost drowned.
How did I live without you around.
We started talking, one to another.
You said you were looking for your brother.
You both were adopted by others when young.
You traced him to here, Licking your lips with your tongue.
You said “Maybe you might know him?”
You told me his name.—- I was frozen.
You had said my name. I fell through the floor.
How can this be? It cut to my core.
“That, that is my name. Are you sure?”
I just sat and stared at her.
She did have my color hair and eyes.
She smiled like me.—- No surprise.
She said “Holy cow!! Can it really be you?”
I sheepishly said “Your mama was no fool.”
In a matter of seconds, there was a change.
My ‘high hopes’ suddenly shared my last name.
Don’t get me wrong. I love her dearly now.
But, I still wish it had worked out somehow.

A Mystery In Everything

A Mystery In Everything

I have learned a special thing.
There is a mystery in everything.
It doesn’t matter what it may be.
It is something you can’t quite see.
The answer isn’t quite there.
The answer could be anywhere.
Pick a topic or subject now.
Something that censors will allow.
Something you know all about.
I know all this, you want to shout.
Take a second look right now.
Is there something that is not foul.
Something you didn’t notice before.
A mystery perhaps, a hidden door.
A different way to look at things.
Maybe all is not what it seems.
It doesn’t have to be a cover up.
It doesn’t have to really disrupt.
Just a different way to think.
Pushing it down the kitchen sink
will not change what you may think.
It does not mean you need a shrink.
You’re outside the box & in the pink.
Nothing is what it really seems.
There is a mystery in everything.

The Chronicles Of Kronos Volume Two (Epilog)

The Chronicles Of Kronos Volume Two (Epilog)

It seems all of them ended up in heaven.
They all made it without any leaven.
They couldn’t believe the wonderful sights.
It raised their excitement to new heights.
Kronos & Zela had a beautiful mansion.
Next door was Asglow & Farrah’s mansion.
They got to eat from the tree of life.
Zela now became Kronos’s wife.
Farrah became Asglow’s wife too.
I will leave what it was like up to you.
Kronos was happier than he had ever been on earth.
He thinks back now about what it was worth.
He lost nothing and gained everything.
He had so much more than what money could bring.
Then, one day, he met Anika and friends.
He loved her dearly, why pretend.
She could never be his enemy here.
He hugged her and kissed her through his tears.
He told her about how he became The Great Deceiver.
She said she knew. “All heaven was watching.” Believe her.
“There is no limit to what God can do.”
“Imagine me, being here with you.”
Then, the question of ‘The Shadow’ came up.
“Did someone mention me?”— quite abrupt.
They all jumped and looked around.
‘The Shadow’ was an angel, flying around.
“What?? Were you an angel the whole time? Holy cow!!”
“Let’s just say,—- I am an angel now.”
So, ‘The Shadow’ continued his mysterious ways.
It seems to be the way he likes it, so it will stay.
Anika gave Kronos a gift.
Her two pet panthers. He almost shit.
But, the panthers loved him and licked him all over.
He loved rolling around with them in the clover.
Now, you may ask ‘How can this be?’
Satan & demons are still around to harass me.
Have you forgotten, there are many futures.
Kronos is in a different one than our past, or future.
There is a lot of similarities between the two.
So, his story is simply entertaining for you.
No connection to our frame of reference.
Yet, Kronos is a legend, here or there, no difference.
So what happened to the imposter Kronos?
The one created by Igor to replace Kronos?
He was cast into the realm of outer darkness by God.
He would have remained there, except for something odd.
When phase III was activated, it created
A vacuum in the magnetic flux, which terminated
At the place phase III was activated.
This vacuum drew the imposter Kronos, elated,
back to his home at the castle.
He was still nasty as hell and still a hassle.
He has no soul, so he cannot be saved.
He is an abomination that will rant and rave.
So, is the Kronos story over yet?
Take a guess.—– The stage is set.

The Chronicles Of Kronos Volume Two (Chapter 11)

The Chronicles Of Kronos Volume Two (Chapter 11)

It seems that Kronos was not the only one to pray.
They all had prayed & repented in their own way.
Each keeping their decisions to themselves.
They weren’t organic robitoids, or elves.
They each made the choices for themselves.
Knowing, with what was coming, they needed help.
They all continued to work each day.
Life went on in the usual way.
Until, one day, Asgard said we are almost finished.
All were prepared for the final skirmish.
They had waited for that ill fated day.
When another demon would come their way.
It did not take long for one to pop in.
“What sort of verbal vomit have you been in?”
“You human parasites of a cowardly God.”
“You are almost worthless, which isn’t odd.”
“Maybe you won’t say that when you hear our news. “
“Phase III is finally finished. Try it, if you choose.”
“I will call several others & we’ll check it out.”
“We will quickly find out what this is all about.”
“You seem to have finished years ahead of time.”
“Not to bad for you human slimes.”
Soon, several more demons appeared.
Looking like they expected something weird.
“These humanoid halfwits say they finished phase III”
“We have to carefully check it out and see.”
The demons were carefully going over the matrix formula.
They finally found it complete, without anything wrong. Hurrah.
“You peons have done well. Now, you may go back to hell.”
“Wait a minute. What about phase IV?”
“That concerns us, not you. It is NOT what you’re here for.”
“Exactly when do you intend to use phase III?”
“Not for some time yet. You won’t be here to see.”
“I am afraid I cannot allow such a thing to happen.”
“WHAT!! You are threatening us with some crap then?”
“I am a representative of the one & true God.”
“He draws the line right here. Now that’s not odd.”
If demons could really laugh, they would be now.
“We will send you back to hell right now!!”
They hit Krnos with a beam of red light.
It had zero affect on him that night.
“I am protected by the whole armor of God.”
“You cannot harm me. I carry the rod.”
All demons present hit him with multiple zaps.
He still stood there unharmed. It’s a fact.
The demons couldn’t believe their eyes.
A ruckus started between them, yelling lies.
Suddenly, the room became VERY bright!!
An angelic demon appeared in the light.
All demons prostrated themselves on the floor.
“Praise the Dark Lord” from their very cores.
“What is going on here!!” came a commanding voice.
The demons answered. They had no choice.
“This puny human dares to defy us.” They mumbled.
“He says he is a representative of God.” Humbled.
“I am the only ‘God’ that commands here.”
“You will do as commanded. Is that clear!”
Kronos said “The Lord God says it stops here.”
“Let’s see what he says when you are a smear.”
The Dark Lord hit him with a zap that shook the castle.
Kronos didn’t move, but pulled the Bible out of a satchel.
“Where did you get such a book” The Dark Lord roared.
Kronos held it up & said. “It says you lose.” Was his retort.
“He won’t allow you to activate phase III”
“Oh yeah, well, just watch and see.” Satan screamed.
He started mumbling the correct chant, it would seem.
When he said the final words, ‘The Shadow’ acted next.
Through the in between he sent the awaited text.
All warlocks under demon control,
activated their matrix as a whole.
Each one was to work on the demons only.
Each one did just that. It was unholy.
Then, phase III kicked in.
Each demon started burning from within.
They screamed & thrashed & rolled around.
Making a bloody, gooey mess on the ground.
They burned till every single trace was gone.
Satan burned the longest. Never screaming he was wrong.
When it was over, a loud, loving voice was heard.
“Kronos, you will be in heaven with me. You have my word.”
With that, everyone & everything disappeared.
It was like nothing had ever been there. Weird.
So ends the Chronicles Of Kronos in that day.
The only human to have been in hell, yet, was saved.
Kronos has an eternity ahead for him now.
It will be much better than he ever thought how.
We wish him the best.
He stood his ground & passed the test.
You see, God answered his prayer that night.
Told him how He would end the fight.
Kronos would be His knight in shining armor.
He would end it all with much honor.
