Ace Poems

The race
It's fast paced
The race makes me an ace
Like cat and mice in one day
Sugar and tea on another day
Temples shudder and mosques cry out in pain
Make peace or life will never mend...Read More

There once was a place that was very entertaining 
That used chance as a form of gaming 
Inside the hall that was run by a deck of cards 
There were rings featuring talent who wanted to be stars 
On these...Read More

Truth wears a face as grace brings light,
Hope flings a trace with space for sight;


Ink stains now style fond smiles in place,
Sense feel worthwhile that piles brisk pace.


Live thus true fest with zest that glows,
Etch touch of jest as quest...Read More

We all had fun here dealing with Jack Queen and Mother dear
A full deck she had but it was that discard that was bad 
Filled with heart the six was sent packing as a start 
Leaving the pictures on the...Read More

If I died today March 2nd, 2020...?

No matter unfulfilled dreams never came true,
nevertheless yours truly doth gladly bid adieu,
where repurposed afterlife (mine) atomic brew
reconfigured, reconstituted, and reconsolidated
out maws of madness, no matter any blues clue
(yea undoubtedly, hypothetically, and admittedly

handy dandy)...Read More

Go, run, hurry, chase,
Every jack, king queen and ace!
Crazy social race!!
Fate deals cards never the same!
Many playing a losing game!

There was a young man named Dennis
Who thought he was an ace at tennis
He missed every shot
An ace he was not
He is now a Gondolier in Venice...Read More

B-e sure of spiritual safety, 
R-efrain from being deceived; 
E-vade the zone of lies, 
N-ever accept nor receive.
N-ow that you have spiritual safety, 
E-arnestly learn to complete; 
R-ace set by the Almighty must be run by your feet.

The barrel is oiled and it’s ready to go,
ammo’s in the magazine ready to flow
Universal cover mode, unsure who will show
Finger on the trigger now, I’m ready to blow

True to my sights so don’t show your face
I see you in...Read More

In a back room in downtrodden and sleazy Manila

On the table cards money and a bottle of Tequila

Fortune lay in the hands of Jose the crooked dealer

Had piercing eyes and a nose like a broken tortilla

As if he had been...Read More

Watch wise wit
Frame fond fit
Bit by bit


Feel fine face
True touch trace
Glimpse good grace


Sculpt scope sure
Prize peak pure
Choice crafts cure


Daze dreams dwell
Work words well
Touch that tells


Apt art ace
Tough times trace
Graft grand grace


Quit quaint quest
Reach ripe rest
Zeal zips zest


Craft creams choice

I'm a bird with wings.
I'm a man who sings.
I'm a cowboy desperado.
I'm snow in Colorado.
I'm a Texas ranger.
I laugh in the face of danger.
I'm an astronaut in outer space.
I'm an Olympic gold medalist in a 24k race.
I'm a stoke broker.

Blackness occupied blackness.
Like it was the world.
Yet there was more.

A chink of light.
As bright as creation.
It grew till it had form.
A line that grew into a rectangle.
Bright as life.

Bigger and bigger till things could be seen.
Banished blackness.
Replaced by light.
Daylight.

The opening...Read More

His Russian escapade was over.
In that time he became a man.

'Panic, panic. Where am I? Misread my compass. I went north and not south. Mother... Help me! Mutti, mutti!'

He learnt at 17.
Right now he was scared.

His fear sprouted from his toes.

'I don't want to burn...'

Otto flew onwards.
It was a joyous flight. 
Then trouble hit again. 
His other worst fear. 
Engine failure!
	
Must land.
Where where where?
Altitude has gone.

Trees are so close.
Wrong place to crash!
Touching close.

Want to close my eyes.
But I must to...Read More

Most days writing filler,
the Muse to appease

The words poorly chosen,
no ace up my sleeve

Each phrase a fulfillment,
old promises made

With feelings in Limbo
—my pen to enslave

E-nd of life is just a rest
F-rom temporary journey; 
R-ace is finally finished, 
E-ndorsing crown in
N-obility.

A-s man breathes his last, 
S-oul, like body, also dies; 
U-ntil the day of judgment, 
N-o dead will ever rise.

In confidence, at three-card Monte when I'd choose,
A complete mark, I found myself destined to lose.
Pulling rabbits out of hats I was just a twit;
As a rank amateur whose hand always got bit.

Many times, I stacked poker decks to force...Read More
