Angel Rift Star DustAngel rift star dust
In one hand
The sun
In the other
The moon
In the mind
The earth
In the heart
The space to comprise it all
But I have skimmed the rim of the abyss
Stood on the edge of a ledge and blew it a kiss
Took a dive from so...

Endless RiftThen come'st thou to thine peer,
Pray the fluid from the ear,
Then followeth thy friend to shoreline,
Unless counte thee the bathe wine,
Fie! Forgiveness not come near....

The RiftWe take up arms against one another,
we engage in mass killing of each other,
yet we’re of the same parents, Adam and Eve.
We kill one another in cold-blooded murder
because of politics, enmity, rituals, ..., for mere burger,
yet we’re all descendants of the same couple.
We knowingly cheat...

Dramatic Verse
The Rift of the MagiHe walked in through the main door,
“Unbolted?” he wondered.
An ebbing shade of brown painted layer,
The polish on the door, dulled.
A poor man’s residence,
Deplumed sofa covers,
Sidestepped since the past three years.
The chewed up walls, unrepaired.
Jim heard the church bells chime
Music!
Yes, music was assigned to be his...

The Rift of SacrednessWhen Christ was born
when souls were saved
is it that date
I meditate!
A trampoline of hesitate
all up and down
acoustics rate
consumerism runs irate!
The children whisper
"don't be late"
It's still the please zone
in rebate!
As rhyme to rhyme
configurate
the need for joy within
ones state!
So sorry, I commiserate
go out and just
do...

The RiftThrough the torn surface with edges curled
I writh, through the never ending rift of light.
The torn sheath, its parchment colored white
beckons, surface fears squirm in angst unfurled.
With edges curled, adepts display the night.
I writh, diving inward laughing, almost contrite
through the never ending spiral, I am...

A Rift In TimeDissecting this heart from externals seeping surge; unknowing infiltrations
Betwixt a distant and different shade in time; an enemy's blinding dagger....
Grasped by my very own hands; a reply, to accept this tango; mesmerized
While as the darkness slowly descended unto, an irony's breakage of...

Yours To KeepYours to Keep
I was there, when you were born.
You brought a smile, not a scorn.
I was there, and watched you sleep.
Protecting, your tiny soul to keep.
What do you dream, I did oft ponder.
Made me sigh, my heart grow fonder.
Such innocence upon your face,
Would you always...

After the ElectionI am so glad we all attended –
all were fired up and primed.
Though disagreements flared,
it is apathy that feels a crime.
So I am glad people cared
and had their views shared.
It is most amazing to me
how differently we see.
I must admit it is real,
how differently we...
