In his seething silence, I spoke, softly to him,
“Did I desire once to be higher than you, oh seething heart?
Could I, in my human flesh, sympathize for your imminent demise?
Cradling you in my sorrows, as an embryo not yet grown
Yes, I had resented my place,...

Summer’s sweetest natural dessert
Presented itself to me in the form of a
Large seeded watermelon that
I found by chance at a local food stand.
Thrilled was I to see such a perfect specimen!

Wide, round, and green,
It had a yellowish underside and those “bee stings”

The hours grows late and so the night bodes ill,
Another man falls, he did drink his fill.
And what fate do the streets take,
When the night cracks with a dawn break?
The rotten and unwanted fate,
Resented and repelled too late.
When the breath of man became disgrace,
Habitual of...

A hive of activity, twenty four hours,
The centre was where they controlled,
All the technicians, in all of our vans,
Delivering the service we sold.

But in the small hours, those there at night,
Would tell a strange story to all.
About a small woman who looked very sad,

All Hallows Eve - 1846
The festival, to all the saints now underway
as dark a night has fallen from an autumn day
and if you listen to the rustled breeze

Two lovers in...

Life's different now, everything's strange.
Remember when,
life was easy, everyone was contented.
Many struggle now to survive, feel resented.
Kid's played outside, without any fear,
Now they don't leave, unless mom and...

Saul’s twinkling eyes took it all in – the platinum hair framing a first-class face, the silvery sheath dress wrapped around a figure that was out of sight, but in plain view. She was definitely the classiest thing in the joint -- Bannister’s by name,...

You had access to all the world’s resources,
Over nature, you had sway;
With newly acquired prosperity,
You had your own way;
Of green forests – industrial land acquisition;
Of all good sense – contraception,
Upon us, you have brought the apocalypse!
You rode gas guzzling cars,
Burned oil barrel after barrel;
Didn’t care...

I remember 
    as a  kid 
that my mother gave my copy of Frank Waldman's "Bonus Pitcher" to the book fair
   I had to buy it back for a quarter 
   The book told the tale

ON A SPRINGTIME EVE - 1846
The festival, to all the saints now underway
as dark a night has fallen from an autumn day

you may hear voices somewhere in the trees

Your presence is requested.

Sometimes giving presents is complicated.

When giving presents your presence is usually expected.

But sometimes you can´t be present when giving presents.

So when giving presents, presents such a problem,

it is always better to be present

or

your presence will be missed

and

perhaps be resented.

That complicates matters 

because...
