 The tiniest egg
Sanctuary for new life;
Dinner for many.

I roll the dice one more time
One more poker card I ask.
I search for one last dime
Train my face to be a mask.

Luck be a lady tonight
Sinatra singing in my mind.
I clutch the rabbit foot real tight,
Love and happiness I will find.

For life's a roller...

No torrid steel rod cauterized my wounds
I could not lick the festering gashes clean
Your sharp-bladed tongue bit too deep
fangs plunged with each vile cursed scene

No mere prick or scratch did you inflict
as thorns draw drops from a finger laid bare
You severed our dangling cord with...

There once was a girl
and she loved to draw
She started to get really good
so the people around her couldn't tell 
if what she had drawn 
was real or fake

Everyday
she would look in the mirror
and draw a smile on her face
she'd add the twinkle in her...

God and The Devil sat counter
over whiskey at the boardroom table,
to negotiate the terms of her surrender;
no real surrender materialised,
but the battle-lines were re-drawn,
albeit imperceptibly so.
The value of the chattel
will not be agreed,
the meaning of defeat
almost as meaningless as winning,
but for the stroking of the...

Close the mouth, open the mind
and let the pen draw the line.

Raise the eyes, lower the fist
and let all wars go unmissed.

Winners of foolish battles gain no prize
nor any admiration from the wise.

Let peace reign, let conflicts resolve
the heart shall then grow and evolve.

Close the...

Is it her calling?
I was just drawling
pictures of my feelings.

All these killers and retards 
we should be healing,
Insted we are keeping 
them from the world.

Tis it was the greatest story ever told
until our memories were sold.

Help us, lord
ashes to ashes 
and dust to dust
are the...

Your presence is thick
Like honey, dripping and sweet
I find myself waiting
And hear You beckoning

I see You with arms stretched wide
Wrapping me in gentle embrace
A memory of salvation
Redemption — mirrored in Your frame

I whisper softly
“I don’t want to leave.”

You smile and say,
“Draw close, dear one.
You can...

DRAW A LINE
By: William S. Labtis

To draw a line there must be a justification
As to divide takes a distinction/ qualification from
Like a demarcation line - what is yours not mine
Just be this line drawn with eloquence and purpose
From  post  to  post ,...

You will find God when you seek
 him with all of your heart.
Getting on your knees in prayer 
is a good place to start!

Remember... A double-minded man is 
unstable in his ways.
He has no true direction in 
life when he prays.

Draw near to God and...

She wanders in darkest Night
Bathed in incandescent Light
Her pathway is all aglow
His dwelling lies in Shadow

A gentle rustling he hears
He is consumed by his fears
Beyond, he sees dazzling Light
This lone dweller of the Night

As he peers betwixt the trees
He knows not that she sees
She undresses...

At times when life seems full of ****
and you are growing tired of it,
when joy's been torn from out your soul
and left you feeling far from whole.

It's then that you, and you alone
can find another pathway home,
forget the hand that you've been dealt
and all life's...

With the challenge of writing a poem in the now
I reach for my pen, a lightning quick draw
Gun slinging the page with a six shooter of words
Letters ricocheting off of the page, escaping the poems claw
 
Defeating all who dare to challenge my ink shooter
Walking...

What civilization you do draw, man! 
Enlightening some too little candles, 
Beneath centuries' deep darkness is seen
Which is engulfing your own existence; 
Humans degrade humans loosing devils
And sins of lust, murder, crimes, corruptions
Wars, violence, greed, hatred, all evils
Are enough to finish all perfections; 
Leave me...
