Maple Syrup and Wild Berries
Both Are Delectably Sweet

Both Are of GOD's Plants...

Are we that addicted, compliance with corporate shuffle
Moves consensus across the board
Graveyard pageant on radio muffle

A persistent petulant stuffing with chips to dine
Casino house burning like Babylon 
As the Towers detonate again and again

The past frozen inside the future
It just turned over like flesh across...

SAPPINESS LIKE SYRUP

fire and ice do battle in our nation
politicking in a clash of thought

droughts of desperation
keep our havens burning

shoulder blizzards frozen white,
why can’t our weather get along?

where’s the rain to make us strong?
and warm quilts sewn with wrinkled hands?

if we strive to cross the...

I have caught a bad cold and you are my cough syrup
So my heart becomes stubborn it never gives you up....

“If you don’t understand the purpose of a thing, then abuse is inevitable”

Many learners are going down the wrong road
There is a new song they are singing
All they need is a bottle of cough syrup mixed with soda

A dangerous cocktail is part of their arsenal
Learners...

Dark as departure 
and sweet 
as reunion, it’s a 
romantic 
syrup resembling
an expat’s 
life. A sublime 
state of
sweetness like a 
wife’s wait.  

It’s forbidden to
a diabetic 
patient, but who 
commits an 
ecstatic sin, violating.
Rapture of
now is in a negative 
impulse.

The expat squeezes
dry desert
for sweet...

PANCAKES WITH SYRUP

Apparition of the past
Tending to the future
Future is soaked
Soaked with sorrow
Sorrow tastes blood
Blood of wrathful grapes
Grapes plucked one by
One, tightly squeezed
Squeezed with dry palms
Palms rest on Jerusalem streets
Streets filled with throngs
Throngs of people, restless
Restless for peace, and war
War painted on their feet
Feet that...

Way way back on a kitchen shelf
Was a bottle sitting by itself.
It was Karo syrup, 1 pint size
But to use it now, I would not advise.

For the label, stamped with a “Buy Before”
Had a date no home cook could ignore.
If you took a guess, I...

Autumnal dew is misplaced
Red syrup on the corpse

My great grandpa Ash, such a tall lean man,
would make sorgum syrup, his very own brand.
He grew his own cane, and chopped it too,
he would bring out his equiptment, he knew just what to do.
That tired old mule, that had plowed all day,
was his best...

. for public domain

I scoffed at hearts that writhed with pain,
that fell from broken promises,
for I had naught to do with Love,
it's folly or its gain,

but now I find that not to love
is not to live at all.
The stones on our paths outlast us all,
but...

Darkness surrounds
Mysterious effect
Uncertain unspeakable
Alone and unbarring
More than a season watch
Coldness within
Suspense
Anger full of tears and frustration
Strength has no muster
Gestures no more
No understanding
Eyes seeing nothing
Walked into my own doubt
Expel shout
Lasting pause
Cold heart the cause
Living with no worth
A cloud is a curse
Until into never
Life below and above
Lived...

Sugar Maple was a beautiful tree
Just as pretty as a tree can be
With a solid and straight trunk so strong
And reaching ever up with graceful arms
Sugar Maple was enjoying some little fame
From folks near and far, from everywhere they came
To admire Sugars autumn gown of...

Syrup for your cough 
Before it gets rough
And you judge life 'Rough',
To the next man gruff...

For your cough:syrup
And it shall shut up!
You to again sup
And drink from glad cup

Repeat I: syrup 
What shall you cheer up
Air tract decongest 
Its blocked East and West...

And Septrin don't...
