Sad violin tunes echo gloom reminding me of gripping woe I must conquer with faith's fresh bloom for divine strength to make me glow. Seeking for help like babe who cries I beseech God to heal my soul midst needs yon light for grievous eyes... oh, so longing to be made whole. In praying to the Almighty my heart wrestles for earnest...

I hear faraway thunder as I soak in the rain. It was never my intention to trigger pain. Still, here I am, waiting for the storm to hit. I scribbled memories on a fragile paper split. Aiming to seize the spirit of a lightning bolt. But it was never intended to be mine,  in short. Due to lack of caution,...

This high, half-hidden, churchyard Where coldness and rain find a home And the nightfall is welcomed at twilight's end. The lament of the deafened, defining the dusk, And complecting its blanket, a chilled shielding shroud ~ A poet lies sleeping alone in her cot. But verses are silently wrested away Brilliantly noiseless not rhyming nor free: And how the wind whistles here all...

Hanging out with my acorn friends, Riding wild winds on writhing limbs As round capped surfers without boards I laughed loud when I watched them fall. Looking up with faces of despair They could but see my derriere. As a swinger without a care I felt loved by the rushing air. My oak looked haggard when I fell Its arthritic limbs beseeching Each passing cloud...

Complaining with bitterness My heart mourns over selfishness-caused angst Grieving because of pride-bruised infirmity… Oh, God… correct me, I beg As I submit to You, humbly broken Thanking You for chastening me with Your love For my virtuous transformation… …never impossible through faith’s strength! Immersing in failure’s frustration My soul wallows in futile blame-game Afflicted with vanity ailment… Oh, God… Your mercy* I beseech While I yearn...

Denouement, I beseech you, take your time. I see you lurking closely by my gate. I want to live and love and write my rhyme. Go finish someone else’s tale. I’ll wait! I need no resolutions in my life. One moment to the next I’m glad to live. I’ll take - along with good times- all the strife along my path. Denouement,...

Beseech the wooden hip and eye To paddle off and caper. Beseech the Maxfold cat and stye Forlorn with hairy Gator. Bring not thy chesticle to bear, Thy open arms to boot. Beseeching here and everywhere To hear old Amos flute. 'You can but not cumcumber me!' He gummed in chitter-chatter, And passing water from his knee Knew something was the matter. Alas! Alak! A Ladybird- A lullaby...

( A sequel to my poem “The Lady of Whitelace Castle” ) Are ye, my lady, an apparition or perchance a fair servant frail? The ruddiness of pinks touching neither your cheeks as you wander about so pale My lips turn blue from winter’s cold under this arch of elm sentinels growing quickly despondent not knowing the truth of your present presence tale Speak,...

As I was washing the dishes last week I looked outside my windowpane. Snow-filled land and winter bleak, I see a moose—how inane! Thinking I must be going insane, Or perhaps something of a retard, I asked many but the answer was the same Please get the moose out of my yard One day within that crazy week My husband was working in...

Oh, death malevolent! The taker of us all before our time, you grimly reap a myriad of souls, cruelly stealing many in their prime, and countless young and innocent have you whisked ruthlessly away! Oh, death Malevolent! Why this utter heartlessness that you display? Oh, horrifying death! When young, I read of you in Revelations. Your nature so atrocious filled my tender heart with trepidation - thinking...

Oh, the agony of love! It takes courage to give your heart away Knowing feelings might not be reciprocated Tortured souls keep others at bay For fear of being hurt Don’t know if I’ll ever love another Oh, the agony of love! Why must every spark smother? Oh, the envy of love! See the happy couples hand-in-hand Jealousy is overwhelming For one whose heart is...

Within the weighty door, weary souls went; as did I as a child of eight, to the silent sentience within… Upon the stoutest oak they sat, worrying beads. “Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee,” The penitants, the prayerfull, the pitiful, rock. The innocent observations of childhood. Inward stares, upcaste eyes, open hearts, rock. “Blessed art thou amongst women...

Can you not hear my word? Albeit… If what I say fails to hold your interest They are still of importance These words are a lifetime defined My joys and lamentations They are a brush stroke shadowing What I was…and am now They are the songs of my children The silence of standing graveside Softly fading with times passing Always of my voice whispering Perhaps these...
