Premium Member The Skeleton Key
Wrought liquid metal, hued in the fire's of hell,
Pored into a castings shell, then hammered well,
By the angry fists of Satan himself, behold the skeleton key.
Accursed by evil's malevolent spell, one size fits all,
No locked doors can resist against its turnings twist,
Opening unto the supernatural's...

Premium Member To the Past Poets
Often when I sit to write
My mind will wander off
And I think of all the poets
The Soup has gain, then lost

I hope for health and happiness 
For each and everyone
And that they keep on writing 
For profit or for fun

I know life keeps one busy
With...

Premium Member Life Is a Highway
Life is a highway of twistings and turnings.
There may be blind corners not anticipated.
There are no roadmaps to aid in our learnings,
No signs by the roadway, no route designated.

We must keep our eyes open, learn as we’re going,
Some folks whom we meet will point the...

Premium Member Great Interfaith Revolutions
Executive Summary:
To optimize Great Faith Revolutions,
combine all toxic ingredients 
of Make America Great Again,

many differences in theologies,
Eastern and Western,
Southern and Northern.

The Truth and Treachery
We are all
with such or other way
have lead, moved himself or drifted out
from eternal Truth.

We are all
lived in Crist
or hidden of him
attracted to him
or betryed him,
escaping from his commandments
for convenient and comforting
existence in lies.
  

We are all

for  dozen  religious...

Premium Member No I Am Not Lying To You
No! I Am Not Lying To You

No! I am not lying to you.
It seems Life’s turnings here and now contain
Inauspicious shapes of endless goings and comings;
It seems Life’s headwaters of the deep waxed well,
the great steward river, of cold sinew and intractability is 
rushing backward...

A Turning of the Season
Just relax,
                  The numbness hits first;
Than an empty mind, followed
By a coughing burst.

Premium Member Burning Balance
Sing standing atop this rolling blue ball
little that we ever hear stays the same.
Spirits of life sound in the wind for all
there is no one else to ignite this flame.

Earth connects with each single living thing
deep within dwells the soylent shaft to strive.
So this truth...

Speak
I look in the mirror and 
I see a girl that's scared to speak 
I see fear and disappointment in every word she speaks 
I see the untold tears 
That nobody wants to speak 
Wrong turnings dead ends 
She weeps 
When alone she screams 
Pushing...

Premium Member Did You Learn Anything
Did You Learn Anything?

Go ahead.
Put your shoes on.
Walk outside and face the nervous day.
Know that your lungs will not resist you.
Know that your heart will still stir.
Put the key in the ignition.
Now turn the crank.

You are back there now.
As if in a dream so ordered....

Distant Thoughts
Time has flown by as the flapping of the wings
But I will wander singing quietly in the rains, 
Hope to lay in the boughs of my creator 
For I will be free from this earthly chains. 


I have seen the turnings of the seasons

All In Good Time
Awakened by a siren
 Aching like a wound 
 We're driven out as we utter 
 The turnings of the womb

 Swelling as we're tutored 
 By the wendings of desire 
 Swept away by water 
 Travestied by fire 

 The vital force of...

Premium Member Train Truth
Try to smile
Through each mile
This life is a free tour on a train…
Takes you here
Takes you there
Tempting to travel again, again…

Turnings you find
Tunnels profound
Train treads on topsy-turvy terrain…
Travel ahead
Turn not behind
Trace, in every cloud, a silver line…

Try to sing
Try to dance
Try to play trifles like...
