Best Efface Poems

The month of August brings with it memories of the Beirut blast. Beirut is once again under attack. I wrote this poem as a tribute. 

The Rape of Lebanon

My darling, Lebanon, do not be fooled
What they feel for you is lust and not love
You're scented...

September meets with warm embrace,
 quickening the harvest pace,
though looming autumn can't efface 
 what's left of summer's arid grace.

The linen hanging on the line 
 dances with the gust and shine,
while maypops heavy on the vine, 
 with honeysuckle, twist and twine.

The cool grass...

I watch a coral glow of sky
and see it mirrored by the sea;
I wish for eagle wings to fly -
away from you, away from me,
away from what has come to be.

The sun ship rode pale aqua waves
the first day that I saw your face;
today take...

Dirt Roads

Hello ole friend, I’ve visited you before.
What can you tell me, what news is in store?
You read like a book, imprinted and deep.
I know there are secrets, you like to keep.

Let’s see what’s gone by, and traveled your way.
Unusual footprints or tracks I might...

With a heavy heart I embrace 
Willingness to come forth efface
All my many unspoken crimes 
In the name of our Jesus Christ.

Beneath the breath of my still tongue
They stay struggling to flit among
Memories of stained sinful deeds.
In the name of our Jesus Christ.

To completely wholeheartedly...

Wingful Whispers of Wisdom

Wingful whispers thru portals spread,
as wisdom softly speaks above our head
Limitless bursts of Love thru needles thread,
Angelic ambiance lies straight ahead
Scurrying starlit sparkles full of grace, 
when their work is done they will efface
Illuminations of both time and space,
laboring luminaries of eternal...

Come all you children 

Day is braking , how all the birds are singing,

Glory to the Lord;

His peace on earth, and mercy He has,

God has blessed us with His love

Joyful we rise and great our Lord,

Join the birds in the sky;

The Universal nature says,

We are...

Because I have been let down
Because I have been hurt
Because I have walked empty streets in my town
Because to me he’s been curt

I’ve made up my mind to move on
To save my face
To switch off my phone
His memories to efface

Starting all over again
Washing away the...

Like an aerial butterfly flutter 
The same your lips are caressing my face 
And so my mind is lost in a clutter.

As a storm produced by butterfly grace
On environment acts out of control
So the sweet contact of lips can efface

My brain completely as a Champagne...

O~n occasion, the mind accretes to, "the hurt," when facing
V~icissitudes; blinded by, "the better nature," causing to
E~fface the focus from the Architect while simultaneously
R~aising questions why. Impatience encourages the 
C~ollaboration of misery to consult with those of the same mind.
O~nly then to find temporary pleasure...

Then I saw thousand grim faces because
Cold distorted; thus I get much disgust
And always is so, any frost pond does.

And while we went to the middle just
Where any heavy fault and pain is found,
And in the endless cold I tremble must;

If will it was or...

We passed over, where was held in frost state
Harshly contained people of the next band,
Not down bent, but all lying in quite strait.

Weeping itself  the tears does not disband,
And pain which finds in eyes of hitch so much,
Rebounds inside to grow and pain expand;

Since...

UNFORGETTABLE 

What has it been?
The many, many years flock together
And she’s never been out of mind

Her gentle femininity
That almost apologetic smile
Blend eternally with the multitude

Nor had I tried to efface that opaque vision
No    I kept it close upon my awareness
In a cherished...

If I were an angel, I'd grant 
the Asian infant freedom 
and a halcyon wind,

infuse the Native American
papoose with ancestral pride,

give the African baby nuru,
the light of understanding,
a potent shield in a harsh world,

and bring the Hispanic infante 
respect and peace of heart.

If I were...

SONG OF ANALOG MAN

Don't blog. 
Sing in analog.
Log-off in space. 

Wasted time! 
In machine rhyme.
Holding data in your face.

Past, heart shaped locket.
Present, gear and shinny sprocket.
Pendulum stops in place.

Time machine,speaks tick-tock.
Strings and loops, in quantum flick-flock.
Trying to save the human race.

What's the pattern,
what's the fear?
To...
