Best Gabriel Poems

The trumpet will play
a sweet prelude, to earth's last tired breath
but Gabriel shall not call me
I shall leave long before his dance of death

The distant drums are what I hear playing
across the sea and through the storm
a calm rumbling surrender
like the two kings that went...

I haven't notice you for so long
You were there, another piece of scenery.
For a while I didn't realize 
How absolutely amazing you are.

I was scared to show my feelings
I was afraid to share my thought.
Then you opened me up to the world
What a different me,...

My heart belongs to providence,
   as I walk that final mile

My footsteps bought and paid for,
   when I clear the last denial

My faith is bold and steadfast,
   a new rain begins to fall

Through the fog a horn is blowing

God must have spilled stars liquid
on His brooding Gabriel Marquez Garcia…
weaving, crushing and shaping words
lacquered with magical realism. But this
is not his only primal appeal; his Latin veins

spread a scenic collage of life pierced by decades
profound…meaningless then meaningful like
a glue of patience in ‘Love in...

Upon watching this series 
How could I not write?
This little boy’s future 
Could have been so bright 
If not exposed on Netflix
We would be none the wiser
Knowing this boy was a fighter
A beautiful little boy Gabriel was born
Not wanted by his mum Pearl– she left
She...

Gabriel -  my autistic nephew 
speaks few word but has a loving face
He has a place in my heart
I try to talk with hm
Even taught him a few songs
A couple of tiby the Lemon Pipers
and one by Nat King Cole 
Let poetry and music...

regrets rise and fall 
chafing at the frayed nerve endings of a finite life,
unfolding like origami cranes around the neck of kamikaze pilots
chewing at the bones of our discontent,
leaving holes in the fabric being.

regrets, like and of, unborn children 
never growing to fruition, never falling...

I gloss over my moods
With a sparkly L’oreal
And lock eyes briefly
With no one in particular

Strangers seem plenty
I’m wary of the city 
Its perversities I distrust
Even its curiosities I spurn--

But even the homeless have homes; well they must
Maybe a pedestal in someone’s heart; Thus 
Give them...

Gabriel, hands clenched in tiny fists:
a boxer's stance,
prepared, in utero, for this cold world
of happenstance,
I see your fuzzy image on the ultrasound
and know: I am already lost,
despite the pain of love and
heartache's cost.

Gabriel, tiny feet kicking:
come out fighting,
prepared for a world that may be
less than...

My nephew 
     has severe autism 
He has a tough time in 
    this world 
I've taught him to sing snatches 
   of Nat Kind Cole's "NatureBoy" and the 
Lemon Piper's "Green Tambourine"
   We...

Do Angels tread on the souls of man?

    Guardian to every soul that is conceived
Enlighten knowledge of Heaven in us he weaves
But at our birth he clips our upper lip
And Heaven's knowledge we all forget
Until our days on earth are done
He gathers...

Gabriel



Enter!   Step across the threshold
unto a haunted house.
There’s tricky, tricky vermin here, 
ssshhh !    Tread carefully like a mouse.

Heathens  satyrs ,
bragging lazy waiters,
filthy filthy rats, large red cats.
A bully or two drunk through and through.

But mark me now all...

Boy the things throughout the centuries that I’ve seen.
I’ve been around a long time watching in the wings acutely aware and keen.
I was there when Nimrod proclaimed to the nations he was God and built the tower.
Ignoring the Father as he abused his nation and...

He can barely talk
   since he was born with severe autism 
I taught him a Lemon Piper and a Nat King Cole song 
He likes music! 
But will never have a girlfriend 
or work for pay 
   Friends, if you feel...

Throttle stop!
You're cryin!
Throttle stop!
You're dyin!
What the hell you doin?
You're  leading to your ruin!
Stop man! Throttle back!
You're  going where you got no slack!
Man, throttle down, you're  going to crash!
There's no riding that dragon with panache!
You pump the breaks to no avail.
As momentum to...
