I can’t help but chuckle when I see
dashboards cluttered with statuary –
the virgin Mary, Jesus, St. Christopher,
and dangling from the rearview mirror

I learned what I fear today:
Intimacy. I can’t seem to face
my raw emotions bluntly; in fact
I despise them for being unpoetic 
Why be vulgar and direct
when I can hide behind my

Look For Dominance

...

It's always seems cool to be fair;
If YES isn't going to be a NO,
Before it gets so unaware-
How possible NO could twist YES to  grow!

Look for dominance,
Doesn't define relevance 
But st...

Though you may be fit and kind

Life of a soldier

...It was the eleventh hour of the midnight,                              He stood single on the border line,                                 
 Drones and missiles moved like light,                    ...

I don’t do somebody’s actions
Neither the Commons, nor the Lords

Help the pretty flowers grow 
Babbling bluntly my mystical muse 
Is easily confused 
Pretty smells I do inhale

...She looks at me over her spectacles
Wondering what I am going to say.

Megaphone is needed since she can't hear.
She is always asking, "What did you say?"

Embarrassed to take her out anyplace

As a man of half knowledge,...

I had a premonition when you started to slip away
Into the quiet distances, choking off any possible growth.

To this feeling I must cling
Then from the heavens descended
A window on a string...

By soul sucking muntins.
Perhaps it is a prank d...

Could it be Forever and always a rose?
Aah a rose? Ooh my rose of roses.
Mysteries mystically they be extreme
I think it be a rose...
