Death First Knocks, Fear Then Enters, Plea Given
Double sonnets, Part Two
Death thy bladed hand, I gladly let pierce
That my end be grand, and my faith be fierce
Hollow words you spoke, what good few days more
For tho' life is brief, beyond...

Instrumental KnocksSurrender to rhythmic initiations,
Moan and groan with accusations,
In foreplay rushes see passion release;
Intoned rumble in her fermented pleas.
Fulcrum strokes in the crazy display,
Freaked-out embedded techniques?
Rapture tunes these percussion beats,
Anticipation bolts in delight of thrill meets.
Love squeals in her ecstasy shrieks,
Quivers torment the resonating geeks, ...

When Opportunity KnocksWhen opportunity knocks don’t hesitate
Open the door and celebrate
It may be what you are looking for
How would you know, if you don’t open the door
When opportunity knocks let it in
It may bring you a bashful grin
But if only on one side of the door you...

Einstein - School of Hard Knocks
We all went to school in the past-
Remember what we learned when asked.
Yet, Einstein's reply
Kiss knowledge goodbye
We're smarter with skills we've amassed!

When Opportunity KnocksUncrowned
kings and queens of madness walk
through halls burning with self confidence.
Nervous incandescent eyes peer down from rafters
unsure how their flesh and bone hosts
will survive visibility.
What do they see
these eyes of ghosts?
In reference frames
made so close
to images of what they...

Major League Hard KnocksPete Rose and Shoeless Joe Jackson are gone
Major League Baseball locked the door with them
now with PEDs ban should be withdrawn
today’s drug use has darken baseball’s gem
in the early days baseball was strong and pure
except for being only for white men
maybe Ty Cobb was a...

Professors of the School of Hard KnocksSome people are of the belief, that teacher come from one place
From a school or university, with degrees all over the wall
Know great big fancy words, recites Shakespeare
With IQ's a mile high, that would put most to a disgrace
When in reality, have no common sense...

Unrelenting Sadness KnocksOnce again unrelenting sadness knocks at my door,
Like the inveterate seeker of my generous charity
Calls on others like me and always demanding more.
Could it be that I am a lone favored mark to score?
And I am deigned to entertain gloom incessantly
Once again, unrelenting sadness knocks...

When War Knocks At Your Neighbor's DoorWHEN WAR KNOCKS AT YOUR NEIGHBOR’S DOOR

When war knocks at your neighbor’s door
Do not play deaf and do not turn to the other side
Cause you might not hear the whistling bombs
Coming straight your home to...

School of Hard KnocksWhen you live on the streets, you
attend the school of hard knocks.
And think you've hit bottom
until you feel the sharp rocks.
You wake to a throbbing pain
pounding away in your head.
And you're filled with dread, Oh God,
you kind of wish you were dead.
This can't be a...

Death First Knocks, Fear Then Enters, Plea Given, Part One(Double sonnets- Part One)
Death First Knocks, Fear Then Enters, Plea Given
(Double sonnets- Part One)
Cold hand of death, thy touch arrives too soon
Weakens my breath, sorrows my tragic tune
Thy blow that hits hard, thy strike will deny
More years to this bard, yet gift saddest skies
Alas!...

Free Cee Am I the Only One Who Knocks Off Half of a Pint Bottle of Vodka At Three a MLASHES TO ASHES IN SLOW MOTION
Might I please present myself as a prologue to death
Because unless I am terribly wrong…….
I can’t have too terribly long
And I’ve been lazy too long
But I don’t have too long to act crazy
Incredibly and indisputably inane
And drive other people institutionally...

Someone Knocks At the Door - 01Someone must be there.
I hear a knock
soft, yet prevailing
a little away,
at this hour of the dawn
when the Sun
is yet to rise
and greet the world
in and around
with its radiant orange
shine with a smile,
and inspiring the traveler
like me
to walk an extra mile....
