Lord, Hear our prayers as we intercede,
on behalf of our troubled world today.
Disobedient people good thoughts impede,
and each day brings some new affray.

Today we are living in those perilous times,*
that you said the last days would bring.
The media reports...

We yearn for peace in perilous days
We lift our heads and look in the sky
It will not be found in violent ways

It will not rise from smoke passing by
Screaming drowns the wise words to be heard
We lift our heads and look in the sky

Looking for...

Those years were freshened years but the sea
Was filled with stomach cramps, and with burning tips
	Against the psychosis on essential truthful belly
Vibrating of dying fishes
As they were jumping angry over the sun's rim
as if they were a kind of greener monsters.

	A toxic light as the...

Your touch is
an electric shock
good thing I am not
in a bucket full of water
 
Your kiss is
a roaring flame
my mouth is filled
with flammable liquid
 
Your love is
a shaky ladder
I climb to the top
and invite gravity’s
inevitable seduction

Dark is the place where life begins.
A raging river, a perilous swim.

You cling to the bank with all your might
and soon make a connection that lessens your plight.

This lifeline supplies all of your needs, 
the food to nourish you and oxygen to breathe.

Larger and stronger...

Perilous Fire
Written By Brett Somers
On 3-17-16

Is it not clear 
That fire which you fear
Will burn you when it is near
So why do you throw
Fire?
With each blow 
You must certainly know
That your critical voice
Your vengeance choice
Has burnt ten fold 
The very hand which you hold
That fire...

Oh Lord, I know this empty terrain…
I recognize this grassland; I’ve tread this ground
Long ago, I used to roam in it time and time again…and touch the Rain
I let the Rain… wash away my insecurities with soft sound
I was homeward bound…and I fretfully frowned
I was...

For a moonshine, 
there was no moon.
There was no moon
for a moonshine.

It starts a tenuous
soliloquy, raising a –
slew of questions.

Slew of questions will
evoke a mixed response. 

Were you ready for 
a sleepover at the shrine 
to watch the St. Vitus’s dance.

It was leaking at night
from...

It's strange to me,
to find myself smitten
with a man 

who hesitates
on even the most inapt situations
that need not urgency

yet I adore him
for all the stars he ate
and words his tongue forgot to savor

when did love become so distasteful
for you, dear

I've relished in your zest
of aimless...

Even on the darkest days when the odds are stacked heavily against us, we should never give up on hope.
Quote By Poet.


We were heading for better life to the new world on the sailing ship 'Athlone',  
After about five weeks disaster struck, and the main...

From “The Last Land”


The years were fresh but the sea
Was filled with stomach cramps, and burning tips
	Against a psychic belly
The vibration of fishes
As they were jumping angrily over the sun's rim.

	A toxic light as a procession
With its own measure fled over all these scattering shadows
	And...

Midnight Perils,
Crushing Dreams,
Says the man inside who screams.
Desperation to survive,
Screams the brain as it dies.
The fear of death
It is within,
Closer it draws, with every sin.
The fear of death will reside, inside.
Some believe that there's more after.
Some believe that your light goes out.
Some believe you're born...

A perilous flight

I do so want to take wing and fly so high with you.
At every attempt, you took the opportunity, clipped my wings
until not a feather – nothing but flesh on pinions that do 
not give flight to dreams, – no feathers – on...

This is your watch woman on the wall informing you that a joint Democratic/Republican
Federal Trade Commission is in the name of 'digital equity' going to be policing our
internet and thus eliminating free speech.

Q: Why is the FCC doing this?

A:  Because the public has been...
