Erring Soul
Is He watching?
When my tongue thirsts for sin,
Gamble my faith with filth,
When my tongue spills its worst,
My ears long to be filled with corruption,
When my fingers linger to steal,
My feet tread over and along faults?

Is He watching,
My unrepentant soul thrive?
Growing more in strength and glory?
Hardening...

Far away in the distance I see a light and suddenly 
I want to follow 
those inkling stars of beauty,  in the gallow of my wishes 
I hear a little voice inside that says,  
Take me, take me, to unknown lands of mystery...

We Are a Family of One
I don't need to judge I hear there is a higher thrown for that.
I don't feed the sludge because I'm better than to brat about what's not me.
I don't fleet to the flood of the mud because the water I wait to meet
To greet it...

The Noose
It's the noose that is waiting for me.
   Now the law is for all to abide.
   I will hang from the old gallow tree.

   It is murder they say, first degree.
   So the judge summing up, will...

A Gravitational Pull
Stone upon the water front/
Next to the cashmere pillow,
The pier near the gallow shore/
A man began to speak,

Within this land there shall be no way out accept I tax,
This gravitational pull may bring some down,
Yet if you stay and listen very carefully/
You will live through...

Ode To Rita and Maddie
Wade through the lake’s water so shallow,
A woman & a man hands entwined like a gallow.
Wade did she,
Wade did he.

Above their necks the furious waters rose,
Trod they together steps softly with no morose,
Spellbound they moved without a care,
Deeper and deeper where no one would dare.

Trod...

Love
My love is a practicing ascetic
So humble beyond imagination
Many view his beliefs as pathetic
He, as a duty, determination
 
A man filled with incredible knowledge
His selfless offerings far from shallow
Studied at a prestigious college
For his beliefs, he faces the gallow

People often ridicule, nonchalant
Some furtive in manner,...

The Convict Part 1
Life behind these bars
My recidivistic chained lounge;
I bonded with loneliness
At will - My frail wrist
Scarred by the bangle of guilt -
Chaste from birth but now guilty

"Death by the rope" - is 
My price for dis-innocence
I embraced it well like wraith
Of though fear might flee
Justice will...

Hey, Heaven Is a Place On Earth: Happy New Year
Bringing yes a close, another year gone by; thinking unto myself
How she wanted me to sing her a love song ? As I was standing atop
This gallow better known as planet earth or more precisely, the noose about
Our necks well, unless your a rock star...

Government Gimps
Delusions of grandeur of being superior, definitive lines drawn and hacked up on a mirror. The Earth trembles and all the ghosts have left. 

Gov't Gimps, 
Unnerving social locusts. 

Human livestock and their fodder. No artistic merit, can't hold their weight in dirty water. 
Gripping...

Premium Member The Dreamin' Tree
The Ash has died, bare-branched 
Throughout this summer. 
Odin's gallows, Dreamin' Tree,
Died back like every other.

Though autumn leaves begin their fall
Bare Ash stands like a Christmas tree
Embraced, entwined, adorned 
With greening from another. 

Wisteria's bine has jumped the gap 
Between the gardens at the back
To...

Disciple Shadow
Though live ,no one cares to see.
 For I am the shadow to be . 
  Always around . 
   Never in sky, just on ground . 
    A light shade .
     Ready to vanish...
