Best Reprise Poems

Before I scarred the page
Raging what your letters cannot invent
Let me invite you to other books
I wrote before you owed me wage
For all maladjustment and discontent
Tettering on tentacles on hooks
Invite you to an open age
Of change and discourse transfigurment.

In a quiet moment read again
Shards of...

When I say: "Love and more love" to you,
What I’m also saying is,
I bestow a brotherly double blessing upon your soul
so faithful and true
When I say: "Love and more love" to you
What I’m spiritually saying is,
I send a Resurrection greeting kiss unto you,
delivered always faithful...

Hot passion ties hearts in tight knots
Its heat roasts with thousands of watts
Instead of the norm
Drop this love and feel warm
Consumed with lust for chocolàtes...

Simple to fall apart,
the dry broken skin.

The sunken eyes will tell you lies,
you can't hide that kind of fire,
once its blazing, its blazing.

manic panic,
pressure, pulsing, pounding, pain,
you can only pray for rain.
If your lucky you'll go numb,
before your face turns to dust.
Hope your legs...

George Washington chopped down a tree as a lad
   Then told his dad that he'd been bad

With the stroke of a pen, Thomas Jefferson kick-started a nation
   Touting revolution every so often with his Declaration

Andrew Jackson had a penchant for whiskey...

In cooler time the sun still slept,
The clock stood still, an angel wept,
The covers stirred, then breath no more,
The man was gone, the silence roared,

Now calm the rain this summer's day,
Let hidden light break sodden gray,
Oh, why, we ask do some go, some stay?
Are human...

Wounded Sacred Dementia: Part Two

Dementia's derelict WinLose SocialWorker
suboptimizingly hesitates
when I tell her
I have not changed my mind
about not adopting Fetal Alcohol Syndrome
into my vulnerable home
with a seven-year-old AfricanAmerican boy
blind
and unable to defend himself,
or even run paraplegically away,
in the likely event of predative attack
by a jealous...

The dawn is near
The sun is almost setting  
And darkness, soon be scattered
No matter how you try to stop it, it will come to pass

The colorful world we once knew
No matter how colorful it is
Will soon be gray
And we forget 

Day after day
Will make...

Green fields of grass and black boys in white
Sir Lancelot and round table and frolic sights
The children of slaves so bedecked as knights
Spectators shadeless sizzling in fusion of light
O come let us play upon the green, cricket lads
O take the ball at its seam, break...

Winter 
Out there
Again 

Cold hearts
Rulers
Setting hearts
Afire

Cold out there
Night rules
The sun

And 
dark 
You must rest
Caged birds sing...

The first time I lost my mind,
I was standing in the rain.
The second time the song remained the same.
My brother told me all you’ll ever need is family,
Then he walked away and was never seen again.
And that old record always skip the exact same place,
33...

I didn't have any reason to love her,
I just loved her.
But ispite of my true and pure love,
Today I have countless reasons to 
leave her....

The sword is the pen,
that cuts the page open wide,
the ink that is spread,
is the wisdom of the life....

I hear her calling to me softly 
Her gentle voice is like a spring breeze
Wafting on the scent of fresh lilac,
A lifetime of memories in a reprise

Her gentle voice is like a spring breeze
Whispering my name from heaven’s portal
A lifetime of memories in a reprise
Assuring...

Now Autumn
————————-

I can see beyond 
the open ivory curtains,
the trees being 
    blessed, dressed
in the laced edges
of this day’s dawn:
a beauty-gift,
a heaven-graced lift,
a scene with a slight 
magic mist
as if stars were 
still flaring in sight
as in the mid-night,
with their tails adorning...
