Light On the Devil's Chord - Day 16
The vision of his apocalyptic age 
And the rise of the terrible Queen of Stone
Imprinted a harping chord upon my mind

I stood at the balcony,
Overlooking the depthless, darkening maelstrom
I stood weakly,
As if by accursed flesh I had been banished here for years

“What light travails
Against such...

ANGEL IN THE RAIN

Last eve heard my prayer that I would awake to a rainbow
And only the mistiness would know how it would go                     ...

Premium Member Homage To the Osage
Where the Osages'  God  almighty once reigned
The almighty dollar their proud life- blood drained
As man- made arteries pumped out the rich black oil
Making a mockery of their sacred soil
Their native American dream withered and died
A bounty built on bodies the thieves satisfied
Slick concords...

Treasured Untold Shenanigans of Santa, His Elves and Reindeer
only by a fluke did I manage 
   to worm winning trust 
   among Christmas elves and reindeer
confident this generic guy, 

   would never breach scandalous 
   tidbits, into a an underground impregnable

Greyfriars, Edinburgh
The children went there once again
With food for those dismayed
They watched as love relieved their lot
And listened as they prayed
For these were simple country folk
Who raised the Bishop's ire
By spurning worship run amok
For hillside faith and fire.
Their preachers would not take the oath
No other shepherds...

A Crime Scene
Police lines,
Flashing lights,
its a crime scene.

That is our beloved mother earth,
criminals cremated her morals,
her beauty they tarnished with their evil deeds,
turning her into a crime scene.

Lo! The heroes of yesterday are today's criminals,
criminals of today are heroes,
in this fallen land of ours.

Lies are carrying the...

'Dirty Laundry!'

Tell me why hearts compose when all poems are born
in a world full of wastrels (where weakest get slain?)
There are bloodstains besmirching blank sheets we would use
for bleached pulp comes from trees that won't filter man's air 
till seed's twigs grow again to tall...

Premium Member When I Think of You
when i think of you

i think of your needs
or is it my needs?
... if you are alone or fulfilled 
or is it my fulfillment i'm after?
your river of life,
turbulent ... as they are
yet waterfalls
of hope and promise
yet with banks of hardness
knots to unravel
mysteries to uncover
but...

Premium Member Be Not
Be not becalmed, but busy, buzzy, bustling; 
bedazzling but not bedraggled;
beloved, bewitched but be not besotted.
Be bewitching, but not belittling nor besmirching.

Begin to be -
become, belong, befriend, beseech, beget
Bewilder, befuddle, bedazzle, 
Make bequests - beguile, beseech, bestow, bequeath,
to belay fate bedeviled with
what is not to...

You Can Be the Light of the World
I see the world and I see the light,
And what I see you shall see,
The world is changing as time goes on,

I hear the exertion and twinge of the leaders,
I smell the invigorate and besmirching of the outside world

My heart melted like ice at the...

I Think It Snows
Flakes as silent satin
Sail down salubriously 
Dissipating into stupefaction
Hitherto ramming clay
They were the forlorn harbingers
Before a cataclysm of sposh
Burst through the firmament
Like a derailed locomotive 
Besmirching any implement in ambit
The innocuous sniff of sposh 
Vilifying my cranium
As with a burst of gore
Revivifying to the hub
After...

What is Truth?
2/1/2018

Of late, many use the media to establish a claim,
After retroactive years, I question, is revenge their game?
On harassment claims, some that happened years ago,
Is it publicity, a book deal, or settlement dough?
Some have flaunted assets to reach the ladders top,
And once successful...
