Tend Thy Orchard, Its Bad Limbs Prune

Shall thee let hope hold firmest sway,
Live life well now, without delay;
Enjoy the beach and its cool nights
Walk under moon's soft beaming lights.
Remember sorrow comes with grey,
Relief shall come if one but prays:
Yet thy heart must seek, stay in...

Private Joshua Bronson wrote this letter by the camp fire where he lay,
Nigh a place called Gettysburg where a great battle loomed next day.
He'd bid farewell to Jenny and his children at their humble cabin door,
Nearly two years ago to join his regiment to do...

Oh when I was a child I loved Popeye cartoons,
Guess there’s no real accounting for any kid’s taste,
But you always knew spinach was up Popeye’s sleeve,
And that bullies like Brutus would soon be disgraced.

“Just deserts!” to all thugs what the world hungers for,
“In the kisser!”...

Doctors told the old farmer his soul was soon to be his Makers!
"Spare me, Lord", he pled, "I must farm these hundred-forty acres!
My wife ain't able to hoe or mow or handle the old John Deere!
The place will go to hell (er, 'scuse me, Lord),...

Tend your garden
the seeds for planting a lot in Africa
you roast and eat in comfort
planting time you are filled up
as you wait for other gardeners

The seeds you get from good will
go to your hot ovens
you plant them in the garden
of your  hot and dry...

Things get done
With grace and virtue beyond
The usual dregs camping out
Virtuosity ceases to be priority
As it yields to tone-setting and methodical fleecing
Of the willing patrons searching for
Deeds and reasons to come their way
A warm stare is launched
Caught by gazes more magical than they need to...

A broken heat tends to mend itself back together.
It won’t take forever, only a while.
Leaving you is like walking the mile.
Didn’t think that this would happen…
Just take that sharp needle, along with the thin thread
And mend…

My heart is delicate, just like fabric.
It’s easy to tear,...

Manifestation,
a glimpse into the future; 
Just like deja vu;

Pen pulling moments, 
spelling them out on paper 
charged with blood red ink; 

Fireworks exploding  
light my words up as they fall;
Stardust interlude; 

It starts with a smile, 
hope becomes reality;
Abracadabra!

My poems tend to come true,
it’s...

I only want to be noticed "maybe" a little bit everyday,
To be told I'm beautiful without my words having to say.
I only ask for less than enough to brighten my path that i walk,
and I only say just enough to conceal my troubles in talk.
I...

Things tend to have a deeper meaning 
But, we see selectively 
The direction is there 
It is not used completely 
We are often confused 
As a result of the ambiguity 
Pain and darkness walk in 
Nothing but a clouded scenery...

Tend your lad with kindness and love,
For he is as innocent as a turtle dove,
Afford him toys though he does break,
But keep bottles, blades high or above.

He must be bold, and he must be told,
That an honest character is the real gold,
He must learn to...

Sleep washes ere and yore in sands
as Lands of Kip unfold before
and tear the seams of old demands.
I trust my soul to me once more.

Who can I charge to nurse the sores
when living fades to weary sighs
if I reject my dream-tide chores,
who'll see my soul...

The flower bed needs weeding -
Before it is overgrown.
The tree branches have fallen -
Rotting, as they lie in the sun.
The grass is growing brown before our very eyes -
As we watch silently and do not move.
Too soon come the crabgrass and dandelions
The only color on...

tend to lean towards a
negatively influenced
mind set seemed 
to have been 
hard wired from
youth to perceive 
life within the most 
negative terms possible 
rewiring seems to be an
impossible task to undertake
it has proven to be a life long 
journey towards the unknown 
with no end...

Christians should really believe that God first created first the heavens and than the earth. The very first man God created, was out of the dust of the earth. When God breathed into his nos tiles, Adam became the very first living soul.

The very first...
