Linda-Marie


Angelic force,
draping over me, her canopy. 
Unmasking the wonder of this youngster,
her spirits alive within me

You helped erect my "secret window"
Ambitiously chasing what I hunger!
Her spirits alive...

Cry to the Lord with a real passion
make sure you mean it by heart
believe in prayer that God hears
for if you don't no point to start

Prayer is a spiritual mystery
how God hears you in heaven
no matter where you're on earth
oh Lord hear me before it's...

Triangle of death
    UFOs- maybe reptiles of space ?
    Unexplained powers

    A story well told
    Questionable assumptions
    Who knows the answer ?

You have no idea if you’ll reach its ivory towers.
If you’re lucky to be born into a house of wealth.
Chances are, you’ll go far, have money for yourself.

And even if you aren’t a stiff, who got a lucky...

Today I woke up
And realized that I was 61 years’ old
Felt that I had lived 
And almost died 

So many times 
I have challenged life
And faced my fate

And yet

I am still here

I am still here 
And that means something

Something to me
And something...

winter sun
 shines on snow drift
 deep footprints
     ~~~
 freezing rain
 upon the sidewalk
 slippery slopes
     ~~~
 frozen ice
 upon the pond

Villanelle: The Dilemma of the Non-Violent – 61

Evil-doers at heart are the worst cowards
Since the war-path pullulates in their numbers
They conceal their greed in faces turned backwards

The Yi Jing’s strategy compels turning inwards
Do big power foreign policies discount dollars
Aren’t evil-doers at heart the worst cowards

Prayer poem ..
my call out 61

I who in long hour ..
low down in despair
I who need repair
And confidence
I who mourn
In struggle
I who tremble
Who is lost
I who hurt
And in pain
I who cry
For hope
I who is rejected
And failed
I who pray 
For redemption
On my knees
For rescue ..

Show your...

Oh! wind those windows down!
Gitchigumi, race your breath through my soul!

fill me with the strength your sons
Hubert and Walter gave us!

Oh Highway 61...bring me to your cliff tops,
let me feel the passion for justice
your brothers, Humphrey and Mondale gave us!

Pray I help just one unfortunate...

There is a desperate bent in Men who lose,
A silent howl that seeks the lie to prove,
That She Loved Him, who otherwise did choose,
And shunned him! Seek with teaspoon seas to move,
And you, my friend, my silent fool, my boy
Will suffer for your faith, for...

The radio announcer lady on 91.9 FM
sounds about thirty-five years old. I wonder
how many hearts she’s broken in her time
and, for that matter, how about you?
Try to count them all up,
Two? Twenty? Two hundred thousand?, then 
give yourself forty lashes,
because it’s all the same....
