To The Victor Goes The Spoils

With a dark hand, deadly cut gashing deep
No longer man- Now, sought he only peace.
Once fallen foe, his life he could not keep
Battle slain, soul flew upon its release.

Victor took his victim's great sword and shield
Rightful treasure he had so...

placid ice castle
strong swift attacking currents
strewn rocky remnant...

A tattered, ragged leather bag
hides faded photos wrapped inside;
both black and white and kodachrome
reveal lost dreams once held with pride.

An older, colder man made weak,
by sojourns made so long ago,
has paid with shame a painful price
for bitter seeds he chose to sow.

Consumed by youthful avarice,
success...

Be not late which may lead to defeat
Be in time to meet the arising occasion
At the right time if you take your seat
You will be admired in your profession
All your duties, if you punctually complete
You will get congratulation and promotion
That one who is always in...

I never thought that I could be
In love, In France, In June
Or ever hear a woman's voice
Sound like a gentle tune
Or eyes that gaze at me
That make me feel complete
Or the gentle fragrance of her hair
Surrounding something sweet
I shall never not remember 
The days that...

Avails oil under the soil,

It boils when sails over the soil,

Then Spoils the soil!...

nothing spoils a man faster than money
God made man 
man made money 
and replaced the God 
to it 
and now it spoils a man 
faster than it God 

God made man 
man made money 
placed power on it 
place value on it 
and now to...

Such a toil, to get oil
Plans to draw, win a war
Kill a kid, faith to rid
Use a rod, feign from God 
Get some more, corporate whore
What next now, who when how?...

It overwhelms us
Passion is impulsive and possessing
Passion is reckless, yet it's benevolent at the same time
When passion ripens like sweet fruit it's love; but, when it's like bitter poison it's hate

Between love and hate
There appears to be a big difference 
But, there's no difference they're...

Covered with green wigs.
They are ebony like me.

I saw barely through it,
The forest shields her nakedness.
By disputing others.

An infinite haven of music.
From the sluggish rivers;
I could see Narcissus.

Who would pluck that elegant flower? 
Daffodils taste like ice cream in summer.
The sun swims through youth.
We would...

I
Don't work for food that spoil; anoint with oil

II
John 6:27 compares food Jesus offers, versus natural food that spoil. The second part of the above monoku is based in psalm 51. King David sinned against God, he says, when he seduced Uriah's wife, when he...

The Spoils

A long battle fought hard and lost
The spoils of war to the beaten
An eternity in heaven

To those left behind
Emptiness and solace
A lifetime of memories

Was listening to the 23d Psalm as we read it at St. James Episcopal Church in Shallotte, NC.
Went to Arbor Landing and attended Poetry Revisited that afternoon. I could detect a sense
of depression present there. Wrote following poem based on these actions.

Spoils of the Victor

When I saw your eyes I knew you were special
I knew you were that you were the friend I needed
It would be a privilege to lose you
Just as it was to befriend you
Your worries are mine
Your pain is mine
Your my best friend 
Though times may...
