A monsignor from 'la belle France'
Split the Scriptures into chapters,by chance,
A colleague in fair  Erin's isle
Introduced verse,within a short while-
Take care,when said.. quotes can mislead,by a mile....

Out of Context

Into hole themselves many people have dug
Somewhere along the line pulled the plug
Many things to some may be beneficial
And to others are always inconsequential.

So why should you go to a convenience store?
All is easily obtainable and can find more
To me what might be...

Witty Will from London town
With his art acted the clown
They said he could not paint flesh or blood-
His 'Shrimp Girl' disproves this lie
When he gave portraiture a try.

A thousand miles from where I live,
In front of my hotel,
I was amazed to see a face
From home, that I know well.

We aren’t super-close, and so
We didn’t have a clue
Our travel plans would overlap
In time and ocean view.

An out of context meeting
Is a joy and...

It was an antiseptic space. The doctor said
   something I couldn't quite hear because the
   clock over her right shoulder had a second
   hand that sounded like firecrackers each tick!

   I heard stage 4, in your blood,...

Somnolescent crystals fade into my consciousness
Effervescent, all elixir drains down into this
So have I felt the pouring down
Of stream on stream of empty soul
So have I heard the hollow sound
Of what was once a whole

Tear on tear drops down to seas
Of surcease, empty memories
All I've...

Context and intention
made to add dimension
To give arguments balance and a view
 
For its where we are coming from
that determine where we go
and determine how we treat people too
 
No one hears an argument
that's meant to hurt
and few validate intentions that are mean
 
Life is...

Taken Out of Context

To a conclusion came to I must admit
Have never lived or been in Connecticut
Is some state known to be in Northeast
With yelling swelled heads caused by yeast.

Infection on selves causes them to be stuck
Trying to get biggest bang for their buck
For all...

I write what I write
No Fear No Reason
I write what I write
to fit the season

I don't know genre
so don't have a fit
Knowing the form 
doesn't make it legit

I never studied 
to learn structure or form
so all that I write
may be labeled free form

I know this...

Through Sleep’s Veils 

through sleep’s veils
my feet battle blankets
as comets streak the bleak night

When you are little like you…
Everything is exciting,
Everything is brand new.

When you are little like you…
The world stretches out before you,
Creating a glorious view.

When you are little like you…
Everything seems possible,
There is nothing you cannot do.

When you are little like you…
Enjoy all of your childhood,
Don’t...
