Ireland - a Divided Island Part Twochieftains trade their loyalty behind the clouds
high mountain king Carrantouhil commanding his Macgillycuddy Reeks
men of begotten rank, scheming skulduggery
secrets hide out of sight, Comeragh mystery shrouds Coumshingaun
flighty earls flee from the Lough Swilly shore
priests conspire,...

Your TouchYOUR TOUCH
is a gift swelled inside my nape-
wrapped up in words of
love that suffice my desire
for you ignite my body’s fire
i tie myself snug with ruby red ribbons,
gentle whispers enveloped inside-
make sure the silver bow is in its
place so you may open with blown
kisses and...

Noah and the FloodA practical man with a talent for wood
viewed each morning as an omen for good
He tilled the land wisely
and preached the goodness of God
but as each day passed there was much to portend
his land had grown evil and God was displeased
one day God called...

Nor composition be;

The image of Jesus Christ;
The transporter of my sin
To Calvary's tree;...

Eutrophication of Golden PondFebruary 28th, 1968 marked the date
Boyce Brandon Harris
(my octogenarian widower father)
purchased a small tract of land
Pooh would Winnie
constituting shadowed sliver
once hailing, hallmarking, harkening,
glorious vast "Glen Elm" estate,
which circa 1910 encompassed
a hundred plus acres of woodland
(including a pond frequented...

NocturneInspired by Nocturne in e minor (opus 72, no 1) by Chopin
The sorrow of a harmony
Never heard by it's intended
The tears I shed cascade
In torrents
I can't bring myself to look
Into the starless expanse
The blanket of night weighing heavy
I could lay there
With an...

Mixed Culture StreamThe impetuosity of inanities
Life spills, deals and fills
In tones and zones of vanities
Raised to a crescendo on hills and bills
On the beleaguered bottom
Society sinks into new perspectives
Derived from the atom
Devoid of subjective directives
Issued at the behest of power corridors
In lumps and stumps of mispronounced announcements
Trembling...

The Time Is NowThe water's getting wild, rough around the edges.
And yet so peaceful underneath, the overlaying surface.
With the rugged colored water, and the storm starts a brewing;
the wildest fish are only caught, when the darest of them all,
start the search, before nightfall.

AppreciationThe gratitude of this lifetime
what isn’t there to appreciate?
my gazes reach for the sky
and bring a bit of heaven to earth
sprinkling the dark with love kindness
and overlaying the gray with radiant joy.
I tread amiably and dearly
leaving marked foot- trails of hope
and realized...

Light Verse
Goes Without Saying3/27/22
It all goes without saying
At times it's mentally draining
Physically straining
In my head and heart constantly raining
Still in training
In order to reach great things
Can't get it done by waiting
Give it all your best attempt before chance is fading
From bad choices, still paying
Couldn't fix it by praying
Or...
