Pondering The Sad And Fateful Decision

there he sat
his brain peddling along
heart fluttering in space
and that bright summer sky kissing his face
mind recalling trouble
her face appears
she that ripped his flesh and smashed his world
there is no reprieve
certainly is no hope
he ponders the unthinkable
a sharp knife in...

 Moth
 seeks light
 as night falls
 Finds glowing bulb
 Flying in circles round its new found orb
 Then going into a fateful spiral
 A gleaming lure
 invites it
 to its
 doom

Lingering, we watch the quays
Rambling by the old seaside,
On brisk yet fluid August days
While gazes caught waves on a ride;
To mirror our bewitched displays
Like sighs, whispered low the tide.

Held by the light of moon’s flare
Compelled to cite, expose a trance;
You pinned a rose along my...

Although we struggle helplessly
Inside of fateful dreams
When you believe in fate like me
How wonderful it seems

Something surely meant to be
Yet far beyond our reach
Cannot resist the driving force
Of fate within us each

An age of virtuality
Might seem a bit far fetched
Somewhere in our hearts and minds
Reality...

Doris called, "Caleb has another earache
all night he has cried in terrible pain."
Doris asked me to assist for her sake.
Sat down to rest, watch TV once again.
Now in permanent memory~places...

That Fateful Day, Lost




That fateful day all was shattered and lost
Lost! Pride saved but at what eternal cost!
Soon a wandering mist , sailing all alone
born of lies cutting so deeply into the bone

Months and years crashed forward within a rage
walking dead, eyes blinded upon a...

Ambition, ambition, it killed a man.
O, beware the fateful ides.
The Senate, the last place in March he’d stand
as “they” were not on his side.

Rome’s sole conqueror of so many lands,
his exploits were known near and far.
But now he fell to his countryman’s hands
as with daggers...

That Fateful Night……
The nightfall makes my mind to shudder with fear,
I remember that night crystal clear,
I was approaching to attend a knock on the door,
I did not stop until I heard a loud roar.

All of a sudden the hall became dark
But I could see an...

Black poison mist overrides
mystery moonbeams in misery,
the howling of beast and worms
swallow the remnants of your hollow
sphere. Do the parts of our end
qualify the price of your beginnings?
Are you a worthless apostle, sinner
sadist or saint? Which side of a human 
canvas reveals your paint? We'd...

For those who have paid ultimately for FREEDOM 

As I stood and watched the towers burn 
I thought when will those who hate us learn 
America isnt measured by its tallest steeple 
but by the dignity and courage of its people 
America is a concept,...

Oh how I try to understand
The chaos clinging to my hand
Past mistakes made
Slowly the memories fade
Wondering where now will I land

Will it be smacked flat on my face
Or strong, proud and full of Grace
Only the higher power knows
What in life comes and goes
Yet, I continue...

How did i find you, i cannot believe on my fate
you descended upon life's placid lake, like the moon descends sometimes, 
slowly and quietly
like the gleaming sunshine in a warm melody, 
you have passed away by touching me as such
you are my peace, you are...

The Date ,before that fateful day
- 3rd Month, 13th Day ,1973 –
so long ago, 30 years .

Time, in its passing, has eroded life into grains of sand.
From its former, mountainous self, soon upon this land,
in a short while, those grains will become dust in the...

From across the room our eyes first met;
You were talking to the party’s host.
Immediately I knew I would never forget
This beauty who enticed me the most.
An arrow pierced me from cupid’s ghost.

Upon my approach, your smile encouraged me;
Yet, robbed me of my well rehearsed words.
Your...

The missus shrieked
with horror watching
and hearing in
disbelief and shock
catastrophe costing
three precious lives,
Macbook Pro laptop
wallpaper agonizing reminder

(though poem previously written
subsequently mailed to
immediate family relations),
I still...
