Our Midnight the Unseen WithinOur Midnight The Unseen Within
( Collaboration )
Silent unto our sense, yet musical
With eternal harmony, they move
About our darkened vision, the beautiful ones,
Angels of destiny.
Pale with the dawn, sun-golden with the noontide,
They mingle with our moments;
There is no...

The City and the State of Play TodayTHE CITY AND THE STATE OF PLAY TODAY
No one worries about morals today
They follow the rules they create
So to them all is ok
Those on the outside looking in
Are the only ones feeling queasy
As avarice and selfishness triumphs
So easily
Good corporate citizens they...

ElectionsElections are less than a week away
And all the candidates have something to say.
With nervy tenure the ads were on the wing
Tossing the dirt as far and as much as they could fling.
When the signs are all...

No night they are not near.

With Goals In TowI’ve fewer days ahead of me
than those I have been blessed to see.
Though time moves on so rapidly,
my hopes sustain.
God still has plans for me, I know.
He’s guiding me as to and fro
I move through life with goals in tow
that never wane.
Have I implied that...

Love Letterslinger not by the lagoon
where languid legends lie
lost within the labyrinths
of lonely hearts
long laments whispered
atop lofty ladders in lieu
of loyalties mistaken
for lust in moonlight
let us listen you and i
to lazy lush perfumes
borne of lavish lavender
while languishing in longing
let us scribble our letters
both with leaf...

The Politics of Left and RightRepublicans? Immoral! Lord, that's all there is to that!
Like in the song, "Their heads are full of cotton, hay, and rags,"
Though Democrats (not better) hate to stoop so low to win,
They feel Christ's death, seek brotherhood, at times admit to sin.
Republicans are arrogant, love "trickle...

Autumn PathetiqueAutumn 10-2-23
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Autumn Pathetique
God winks with fall in blessedness
A pathetique from a soft breeze,
Silk sonatas, scarlet tresses,
Abundant blessings and jubilees.
Veiled in gold, summer’s parting kiss,
God winks with fall in blessedness,
As amber shadows reminisce
Songs of geese with tender finesse.
Rust tremolos of grace confess
Thankfulness in coral colognes
God...

End of DaysEarly Days
An epic story told of men on earth,
My father’s life, and also mine
Wind planted weeds, we had a humble birth,
Not sprung from rose or grape on vine.
Our whole existence born of charity,
A “gift” of former Indian land,
The “Cherokee Land Run” was spoils of war
White...

Harmoniously dwell
Tangible gnosticism
Catharsis

Darkness, Thy power quells

The Dying Embers of ChivalryDarkness in the world suffocates and prevails
I retrieve plaintively The Canterbury’s Tales
Begin my own pilgrimage to the land of kings and knights
When there were other meanings to the word heights
To the time of true chivalry not outrageous impudence
To the...

Would That Our LoveWould that our love were constant as the Sun,
Who though He needs his daily rest too,
And slips under the cover of earth’s horizon
To find such bliss as He can without us
Always in his sight, still rises to greet us,
With each new dawn, as warm as...

Two Little Squirrels Build Wallstwo little squirrels build walls
two little squirrels
having a quarrel
both talk smack
nuts are crack
heads are spinning
why are they hissing
there's a largess of nuts
right there in the tree
but these two
can you believe it
are hissing over a leftover nut
that fell on the ground
outrageous!
chunks of hair goes...
