A Cow's Tale

So here is a "Story as it was told" Of a Cow who strayed across the road! 
on the outskirts of a small country town. Away from the Brown's Dairy Farm, 
and her little Red Barn, and the Pasture where She did Grazed.
and finding a Babbling Brook whereof she did took!
and drink to her fill, some Brew from an Old Moonshine Still?
that flowed into the stream from out of them hills!
until She was drunk and passed out and slump,
and fell there to the grown.
So Upon her Awakening and dismayed by her thinking!
She proposed to make a vow. To tell a Bizarre and most Labyrinth Taller tale!
and never to take a Cow, too a moonshine still,
and Certainly not to drink a whole gallon from a Jug again?
So Being that she was the Daughter of the towns biggest liar.
Know as Farmer Brown!

A Reflection of Love

How I longeth for thee and never have i to have found
for there truly can be none more fairer than thou
thine alone is a beauty to behold
in so hath that it doeth surpasses my sight
for me to look within your radiant eyes 
to sink beneath thy passion into that of your romantic realm 
alas therefore my darling it is the kingdom of the heart 
the place i desire to dwell
as from the moment of our embrace that i will not forsake 
even the memory of a reflection captured thereupon the lake 
by that of a silvery moon
for a warm summer breeze flowed through your hair
as the aroma of your perfume did fill the air
and i kissed you upon the lips and they did taste 
with that of the sweetness of honeydew
and so whispered i in your ear by the breath of my voice
gentle words of sensual pleasure and delight
for you are more delicate than the petals of a flower 
even to the touch of softness upon your neck
therewith blushing roses above on your cheeks
for our lives are like that 
of two turtle doves taken to flight
as we move through the motions to dance through the night                                              
to that of a sonata of a lovers tune
this is how much i cherish you

Heavenly Journey

For God has guided you into his Heavenly Kingdom, 
for it is his promise to all that Believe. 
And so your journey has begun! 
And Jesus will hold you in his Everlasting Loving arms.

A Raven's Tale

Oh mystical raven of the night
wherefore too is it that you do fly
through the clouds upon the wind of the darken sky
with a gleaming gaze in your eye 
thy heart has blacken as thy wings are of darkest satin
In thy Quest to acquire an unfulfilled desire
that of precious stones with silver and gold
fasten and set arrayed which captures lights passage
by the falling down of the moonlit beam
high above the castle wall in a crevice of the tower 
you hath made thy home 
and fashioned it with decorations of all these things
that wherewith you mayest sit 
and cast thy sight upon your own vanity
As for thy rest you seek it shall only come 
when you sleep in the dust of Eternity

A Forgotten Beach

I would like that I walked on a forgotten beach
away from all of what is seen of me

where-as is the sound of peaceful water's upon my feet
 and beneath
the warm softness of the sand therewith to comfort me

as the Enlightenment of a cool tropical breeze
A flowing bouquet of fragrance's dances about me

for there-by the ocean with the beauty of it's coral reefs
and crashing surf she cradles me up-on her golden shores

and by the waves of the motion of the tides
rocks me as a babe singing sweet lullaby's
there forever more

so the day adheres unto the approching night
as a beautiful sunset time has arrived only to recede
like a blazing torch sinks into the sea

only but to unveil the celestial magesty of the heavenly's
Oh what an Inspiration the joyest celebration of a delightful thought

then perhaps what my heart longeth for
has't found 
what it dearly sought

Winter Signs

Howling winter wail
snow covered mountains swell
tis but it's season time to abound
when cold shapes with ice to surround
branches breaking down with twig's 
falling unto the ground
lake water's frozen and crippling stream's that sound
valleys of evergreen forest beneath the moonlit night sky
these are all but winter signs

A Mermaid Sings

The voice over the waves of the sea a call that beckons me                               
come sailor to the deep for I wait for thee to keep                                                      
and so shall ye find thy reward in my arms                                                                   
as a guest In the depths of the deep                                                                               
for a mermaid chooses you see one her heart dearly seeks                                   
over time will you know where a hero may truly go                                                       
Is It not a fishermans dream to find a mermaid but you set me free
and I shall never let thee go                                                                                              
for I made a vow to thee to be yours and thine along
this Is the ending of a mermaids poem

Auschwitz

As an old man sits
in front of the
window pane 
where scratch marks
Have been carved for
each day unto
another year, with
his knees curled up
into his bony Chest,
and his arms wrapped
around his withered
legs . shivering
there from the cold
and fear. In that
old birch wooden
chair ; and with a
tear running down
from his eye upon
his pale distorted
face. Wishing as if
he could be in
another place,
somewhere else
long; away from
here. So with a sigh
of thee anguish,
from his heart his
breath as a ghostly
fog floats across
the icy air,  unto
the etched frosted
glass from which he
stares. There unto
the blacken
snow-covered ground,
where ashes from the
furnaces are
twinkling falling so
Slowly down.
The wind carries in
it you know! The
screams of  women,
children, young, and
old men.  Who once!
Were to Be found,
and now are
ever no more To be
seen.  For even the
ropes of the
gallows,
swing in that 
winter's howling
breeze.  Waiting!
For its next victim
to whom, soon it
will be.  And walls
riddled with bullet
holes of those whose
blood has soaked the
ground . crying out
for Justice!
Waiting to Be found.
And as if the only
escape from this
place it seems, was
when death was 
To be found. 
 " Let us Remember
the Holocaust -
Lamentation of the
Birth of a
Nation called
Israel"

Dear Sister

Oh my dear Sister so precious to my heart,                                                   
 how doeth I ache within to hear your sweet voice once again. 
 to see your beautiful smile abound upon thy lovely and caring face, 
 a memory I shall hold always, and will Embrace.
 for when Tears shall fill my eyes,  then comfort will I take;
 knowing  you dwell in A Heavenly place.
 for in the arms of the Creator God is your Resting place. 
 For a Dear Angel has he Received,  one so wonderful as thee.
 that you may place a Kiss upon his cheeks, and a smile on his face.
 so until the time when he shall gather us all together Once again.  
 Know that we love you always and forever. Amen

A Tear For You

As i beheld your radiant face from a distant place 
i thought i seen a tear in your eye and i wonder why
surely what i had seen ran deeply inside 
beyond the realm of your outer life
from a heart of love and care there a memory did arise
this is what made you cry
for without tears from our eyes
life would become empty vain and dry
let not memories cease to flow
as a river from thy soul
for it is with these we do write
our music poetry and song
