Last Resort

     Can’t fly, no wings
        no voice, can’t sing

     Can’t act, no passion
         wardrobe's out of fashion

      For music, no ear 	
     

Thought of the day

sing a hymn, conjure a love verse ~
we are one with the universe

Mayhem in the Bread Aisle

Bread hit them like a ton of bricks.
Bread can make one very sick.

Man minding his own business,
Quickly became a mayhem witness.

The teenage four, like the Joker’s core,
destroying aisles in the grocery store.

On a hot eve, they hit my man with a fighting bag.
It’s all a game…received more than a finger wag.

Like all good criminals they

Carnage Voyeurs

   Mother Nature makes little piglets and lambs
      We humans slaughter them for mutton and ham 

   Lest you think mankind unusually cruel
      Ponder what lions and tigers do for their fuel

Flee from Him

    Dissonance in me awakens
       Feelings faint and badly shaken

    by hearts - come clean - that are now achin'
       no thanks to my prevarications …

    Women: Sense a man’s unease 
  

Of Sugar Plums in Frozen Cream

      as embers glow on wintry nights
         candy canes and x-mas lights

      truth gives way to summer’s steam
         carousels and caramel cream

     what fancy leads

At the Casino

     lizardly he slithers in
         nursing his sloe glass of gin

     lightning flashing from his eyes
         functioning to disguise

     who and what he really is
  

So Many Choices, Coincidentally

      By the bye or by the way
        either one I never say 
 
      I choose to use ‘incidentally’ 
        anyway or accidentally

Thought of the day

Self observes waking, dreaming and deep sleep ~
In stillness taking a consciousness leap

Awaken Screaming

     confusion slips into our beds
        games the minds of gentle heads

     twists familiars to never-beens
        personas dark mask every scene

     far away from hearth and home
  

Thought of the day

if we are here but wish to be elsewhere ~
we rest not in awareness self-aware

Helpless

      a ladybug flailing away on her back
        a lad gets a whipping in a shack

     each helpless in his own way…
        to whom and for what do they pray

Umbrage Taken

     Offense not mistaken
       umbrage is taken

     Laxity implanted ~
       pardon lightly granted

Courage, and a Shudder

     A ship requires a captain, and a rudder
          uncharted seas - courage, and a shudder

     Picking up speed, egos unchecked
          tempt fate, shipwreck

Midst Stormy Seasons

     A gentle breeze midst stormy seasons
          soothing words of reason

     No matter the winds blow fierce
          calm the soul ~ frenzies pierce
