for the sake of love alone,
disappears transformed as bliss....

It Seems To MeHistory unfolds reflective evolution
as culture nutrition values inform economic health.
Just as currency only carries values humans supply
as a society of economic transactors
so my own paltry sums can only carry those values
I am willing to re-invest in us,
composting together
more than colonizing apart.
Money does not grow...

Wearing WoundsIt takes a spine spun of steel
To forgive a hateful infliction.
Many are wont to let it fester
Mining malignity of malediction.
For them `tis a wound to wear
With self-righteous indignation.
They herald the hurt as if a gift
And announce it in celebration.
The soul though is not deceived,
It chides...

Cleaning HouseIf cleanliness
thrives next to godliness,
could wealthy White Houses,
slick and in their capital-sucking groove,
survive when paired with homelessness?
This question presupposes
perhaps a radical view
that divine powers are more homeless
than secured behind military-industrialized,
greed capitalized,
plutocratic White Houses.
Is your god's aspirations
toward Earth's homeless sustainable revolution,
where outside is benign inside
and inside...

Leaves, Leaves, LeavesLEAVES, LEAVES, LEAVES
Leaves of life
Maybe swaying and it maybe drying
Leaves when green are with life
But leaves on ground can be gone and done.
Leaves presupposes lives
It’s counted like calendar days
Days, months, and into a year
For every drop of leaves
Means constant change.
Leaves, leaves, leaves
Official leaves...

Mortal SinMortal sin requires full knowledge
Complete consent
Presupposes knowledge
The sinful character of the act
Oppose to Eternal God’s law
Implies a consent
Sufficiently deliberate
A personal choice
Feigned ignorance
Hardiness of heart
Not diminish
Increase
Character of sin

A Poem Upon My Nose
As noses go, I’d say mine is okay
if it is viewed by someone from the front.
But if you look at it another way,
it’s not so wonderful; let me be blunt.
My nose is long, and if you’re in a place
where other women are along with me,
take...

Trust and Betrayal" ...betrayal begins with trust."
~ Quote_ Phish
Our trust presupposes expectation,
based on a script, being but delusion,
which is the root cause of our frustration;
betrayal plunging mind in confusion.
Love that’s true seeks no reciprocation
and so the fault...

Simple Simon SaysThe fact that we ensoul this body-mind
presupposes bondage to feeble form,
thus senses five, gender and habits bind,
self-blocking the flow of bliss currents warm.
Fear of freedom keeps us bound in a cage
of conditioning imposed by belief,
veiling the clear truth that this world's a stage,
where cessation alone...

AspirationAt last my secret's out – now I can sit and write a spell.
An author fashions means of flight for dormant clientele.
Away to lofty heights of thought...an album, shall I write,
an album crowded full of poems, senses to incite?
An aspiration presupposes gutsy derring-do
and any dreamer...

First Poem Written To Vs At the TableThe lioness stares at the world with rigid eyes
Vacuous emotions replaced by terror in me rise
This is a picture of probable consequence
That lures and destroy us outside the rule of sense
When I was younger deep dangers lured me
Always to the brink where chaos...

Israel ZolliYours was the crown of the Synagogue
after you converted to Catholicism
for living Christianity
is the fulfillment of the promise.
Christianity presupposes the Synagogue
and a vision of Jesus you had
opened your mind and your heart.
Yours was the wisdom and smartness
as you became the doctorate professor of philosophy -

FestivalLife is happiness embodied;
Happiness evolves from celebration;
Celebration presupposes glory;
Glory is an epitome of hard work;
Hard work is foundation of human life;
Encompassing these, Life becomes a
FESTIVAL
Yeah…
Life is a Festival—
Rejoice and celebrate
Toil and earn
Achieve and accomplish—
Certainly NOT an Occasion to be elapsed.
Every day is ceremonious;
Go with a...

Thanksgiving LeftoversThe 20-pound butterball turkey rests
On a table laden with condiments;
We bow our heads, reach out our hands and bless
And say grace which presupposes our content.
But as we eat, the elephant harrumphs
To lead our banter and wordplay astray,
We assert on Gaza or butterball Trump
Or...
