Premium Member Snowflakes

There's a magic in snowflakes, 
yet their majesty is only momentary -

just like you, 
                  just like me...

They fall 
        so...

Premium Member Endless Chorus of Tears - Diana Ross Tribute
Her life turned upside down, endless chorus of tears,
jilted she hoped he would stop in the name of love.
What was once endless love was now songs full of fears.
Her baby love left her lost like a lonesome dove.

Jilted she hoped he would stop in the...

Premium Member Still Un-Answered Universal Question
Is it  a myth that History repeats?
This universal question that time deletes

Is the evidence clear that it occurs?
Through eons and eons it strangely recurs

Is it true that  horrors are dulled by time?
This forever, unchanging paradigm

If wars are to end should it start with...

Spirit of the Navajo (Pantoum)
Spirit of the Navajo
How hard life has become
Reciting prayers of long ago
Alcohol an escape for some

How hard life has become
Water is a scarcity
Alcohol an escape for some
Look at them with pity

Water is a scarcity
Wells will soon run dry
Look at them with pity
How could one not...

Premium Member Someone Like You
I'll find a  remedy for my broken heart.
A round of applause, you've melt my heart to stone.
I couldn't make you feel my love, from the start.
I'll find someone like you, I'll search for a clone.

A round of applause, you've melt my heart to stone.

Premium Member Top of the World
polar ice cap melts
bears cling to floating glaciers...
    world’s top is shifting

north pole relocates
tropical forests are glazed...
     history repeats




*Entry for Skat’s “Top of the World” haiku contest.  Many scientists believe the North Pole is in the process...

How Dim the Stars
"When love fades into the depth of night, stars lose the glimmer of their light."   
Poet's quote.


A star riddled sky recurs in beautiful dreams
We danced and whispered tender words of love
Only Orion overheard
Oh, starry, starry night
how wistful I am when I gaze upon...

Premium Member Mission Impassible - Gross
The river’s running higher than the river’s run before
I knew it was; there’s three feet of it on my kitchen floor
And next doors garden shed came crashing into my front door
But I needed a number two and I could wait no more

I waded to my...

Premium Member In the Dead of Night
By the light of day,
Near the edge of night.
I heard whispered tales,
Of an ethereal sight.

With my muddled vision,
By now spirited head.
Bound for the graveyard,
To walk among the dead.

The air had been cooled,
By an early winter frost.
So I mustered my courage,
Then the threshold I crossed.

The silence...

Hammer On Metal
man kneels in grace
he is hammer for the god's of war
creating his place with a hum and rattle
time is man's finest driven rival
a flash in the sky 
we fall and fly 
lost inside our own battle cry

hammer on metal produces this metallic sound 
agony’s pleasure...

Premium Member When Will It End
When, oh when, when will it end?
The inhumanity that recurs again and again.
Mere mortals true, but true animals too.
Too many with hearts dark, through and through.

History stained with innocent blood drained,
The countless lives lost and nothing gained.
Sad excuses implied are forever justified,
Reasons unreasonable that leaves...

Dead Ballads
Dead Ballads

Written on the pages of time 
read tarnished couplets and 
quatrains 
which corroded pauses are 
leprechauns sat on pots and 
pans 
which melt before and after the 
rain. Yet the lyrics exist, they 
are just a phantom, a semblance- 
in a ghoulish apparition, 
they...

Beautiful
I’m missing you
I’m craving you
Our love is magical 
You’re beautiful

Every time I see your face
I think I’m going to die
I feel a heat attack coming on
‘Cause baby you electrify
Your soul is pure, you’re full of life
When I look in your stormy eyes
I know 
You’re beautiful,...
