You entered my silence like a violin bow dragged with blood
You entered my silence like a violin bow dragged with blood through shattered stained glass
I sewed your laughter under my eyelids and lungs, and the light transformed into myriads of fragrant wounds
I coughed wild moon petals for weeks, my mouth full of the echo of your ever-burning footsteps
There is no cure for you, you are

THEIR NOT DEAD ENTERED IN OUR FATHER'S EMBRACEMENT-
Fleshly vessel, lay incasket
Upon their death, though
Instantly, they are with the Lord they“soar”
Our God’s embracement ;
Their newencasement ;
Renewed, renew whole body made ;
Now that there in the presence of God saved ;
Hallelujah

In Victory Gloria Entered Euphoria
More Horn Haiku
had been wearing broach
while horses did pull a coach
winter would approach
way we like to live
should always be positive
ourselves to God give
How is this for more of my
Horn Haiku. Just saw Pike
Place Market and Borchart
Gardens in commercials.
Write some poems about
Vancouver and Victoria.
would see Gloria
entering euphoria
while in Victoria

I Entered the Interdicted Land
I entered the interdicted land
Where she lived
I heard the murmur of the silence
And she had had those with endearment
Since those Days
I could not apart myself from her longing servility
I saw her spoke to the mystic sky
I saw her bathing in amidst the greenery
I saw her spoke to herself and cold death
And one day

The Night I Entered a Rainbow
In the dead of night, I finally fell asleep,
Looking back, I'm sure it was much too deep!
For a dream within a dream, opened my eyes,
To being inside a rainbow, of new sunny skies!
It was so vast, with no beginning and no end,
I gazed afar, but failed to see around the bend.
Infinite bands of colors, everywhere

Sue's Popcorn- Re-Entered With Syllable Count
Holding popcorn as Sue watched the show,
she could feel her date’s hand start to go
down her blouse. With a shout,
she cried, “Take your hand OUT.
There’s no popcorn down there, don’t you know??”

Twilight Has Entered My Life
Twilight has entered my life,
realizing that the aging process
is real and not to be shelved
and put away for someone else
to contemplate about.
Twilight has entered my life,
like the sun setting into obscurity,
a decline which is not obvious at first
but gathers momentum until it rises
the next morning after dawn.
Twilight has entered my life,
accepting this as

The Night Jesus Entered the Bar
It was last call, and all, he contemplated
Was should I stay here, or leave this old world
When out of the blue, a stranger he knew
Said Gary go home, to your little girl
Do I know you there mister, what's your name
Please go now, I don't want company
Hey barkeep can you please tell this man
It'd be best

A Team of Doctors Entered My House
A team of doctors entered my house
each one with a syringe on his rear
not one was wearing doctor’s coat
the language they talked were strange
When they began their work by force
I told them I was healthy and strong
the leader shut my mouth with cloth
telling me I was unforgivable vector
They went on with their medical work
I could

Retired as a Buffalo.

Oblivion Once Entered Makes No Sound
Oblivion, Once Entered Makes No Sound
His soul walked streets of oblivion,
banshee wailing for merciful reprieve.
On broken altars, deep cracked pavilions,
pain laden, refused to properly grieve.
Years long past his bright stars had all fallen,
his love had somehow just melted away.
Some long nights he heard her lost love calling
and only then would he for his death pray!
Down

She Entered His Dragon
She entered his dragon
She entered his dragon for passion
It's tail in full rapture to strike
His eyes spitting out fire
For her yields his commands
Buckling his fire
As she let screams
In mercy

Fragile Heart - Re-Entered Poem
full of promise I gave my love,
responded with the flush of youth,
a need to give and to receive
gave my precious heart to you.
in return you gave me hope,
life and love I was entranced,
each day brought happiness in its grasp.
happy thoughts until that day,
each word still rings in my ears,
a light went out in
