The Broken ColumnBroken Column
wrapped in female form
split down the centre
more than femininity exposed
Breasts capture the eye
Her softness
Confusing
Arousing
head held high
Her long black hair flows
cascades across decades
immortalized
Tears streaming down a saddened face
Doves crying to be understood
cheerful colors confuse the minds eye
What thoughts lie beneath that unibrow
Beauty within...

looking out the window behind the glare,
so while I'm cutting the grass

At one point - both realized there was no escape
"I'll turn you into a "Bird", "A Silent Muse"and a "Kiss"
and so many...

Lonely Heart ColumnIs it too late to go on dates
with ladies, fat or thin?
An ad I place to find embrace;
replies come flooding in
The first is brash and has a 'tache;
the second, very gruff;
the third decrees she'd like to see
me standing in the buff.
I pay for drinks...

My Broken ColumnI have wore myself ragged
Giving myself to my children,
my husband,
and into the work force
Piece by piece I break away
Giving to anyone in need
Leaving my body as an open door
For all to see
My inner beauty
The broken column...

Phoenix ColumnThe Phoenix Column was invented
And patented in 1862 by Samuel Reeves,
Vice President of Phoenix Iron Works.
It consisted of sections of rolled,
Flanged wrought iron, riveted together,
Creating a hollow structural column
That was lightweight, but strong.
It enabled the Phoenix Bridge Company,
An affiliate of Phoenix...

Nelson's On His ColumnThere will always be an England:
roast beef and Yorkshire pud
assure the most fainthearted
that all is for the good.
Is anyone still doubtful?
This thought our hopes restore:
Marmite, baked beans and crumpets
provision us galore.
Coffee at eleven, at five o'clock high tea,
banishing the terrors that met us at the...

White Column Ressurrection‘WHITE COLUMN RESSURRECTION’
Even now you stand poised with memories of a corned cobbed pipe in one hand-tight gripped lapel in the other-perched against thick southern charmed columns positioned on a once so powerful veranda .
Peering across your fields at the silhouettes of a people once...

Column Left MarchThe sheriff at high noon cries out in lonely solitude not to forsake him;
But no one comes, and the vocal majority makes their plans to protect personal wealth
Standing alone against all odds, the sheriff in defense of law and order fears;

Central Column
Central column, energised void
It’s no in-form nadi
Staff of Hermes, is by love buoyed
Vibrant serenity
Blissful caress divine
All nodes within align
Under the oneness sign
Sensorium
