If lies are told to save,
Will sin be judged at the grave?
Smile darling! The winsome homely,
You never change; your hair needs no tatting,
So in penury, your short smile you gave.

A massive, arch-shaped hearth of stone,
old shiplap walls of weathered oak,
warm, woolen rugs of corded make,
ancient rocker, it creaks a lot.
Fire consumes thick maple logs,
perched low on a wrought iron gate,
cast shadows flicker on the wall,
on the dog snoozing by the chair.
All his fur must be decorative
since he always hogs the fire,
a brindle-mutt with gray muzzle,
might just lick intruders to death.
Round window reveals falling snow,
and frosted pasture beyond it,
safe within this homely cottage,
hear the sounds of owls at night.
Such a place I will imagine,
sanctuary, my escape,
but deep down know, if I had it
I’d be bored within two hours.
…I guess some aren’t meant for peace.

My new born son is as ugly as he can be.
I'm offended when people say he looks like me.
I wanted a son, that is every man's dream.
But when people see him, they always scream.
Last week, a saleslady came to my house to sell a vacuum cleaner.
She started running when she saw my baby, you should've seen her.
I have to get dog drunk before I'm able to kiss him good night.
If you have a bad heart, my baby will cause you to die of fright.
My wife was offended when I said our baby has the face of a horse.
She's so angry at me that she's threatening to get a divorce.
I'll sign the divorce papers but only if she agrees to take the baby.
I want that homely infant out of my sight and I don't mean maybe.

CELBEBRATION OF THE HOMELY NEWLYWEDS
Reflection in each others eyes
was all they needed –raptures charms
and lived they so with outstretched arms.

I am home,i can smell the loud roses standing in a hand made vase.
I am home, my whereabouts no longer seems a maze.
I am home, on familiar and fertilized soil i stand. rooted therein .
Nets tossed out by my eyes,capturing the gaze, of the one eyed sun flowers.
The suns heated stare they devour.
On the emanation of my homely appreciation,my neighbors feed.
From a distance they break a frown, with with a smile, running forth, running wild.
They screamed we noticed you were gone all the while.
I replied:Oh yes only but for a week. A greeting kiss placed upon my cheek.
Don't be worried now i am home.A homely feeling home fades in absence.
I am home now, all homely brilliance ,homely essence revived and adorn.
In binding homely potency,i am home.

The waves carry it on
And as it swims with the current,
It drifts to unknown seas
Where danger surfaces with the surf.
But when it swims against the current,
It’s thrashed and smashed
And broken.
But it finds the way home.
It’s you.
Though castles on homely shores
Have been washed away.
Yet castles can be built again
And wooden logs can decay
Trees can shed their leaves and burn
While stones change shapes.
Home will be calm still
And soak you with peace that the waves washed away.
Home will calm you
I promise.

'Twas my decision to depart,
Delude myself I can't.
No flagrant town or cedar horse,
Scourged at heels to hasten.
No burnished son of Amon-Ra,
Embossed his seal upon my cheek.
Chased through channels I was not,
Beneath the Sea I went.
Prospect, guiling motivation,
Subtle was thy goading stick.
Naive were my intentions,
Quixotic thoughts of mastery.
If will could spur this planet back,
Would I my own extend?
The answer is uncertain,
for time we cannot bend.
A lover's mouth, firmly closed,
'Tis like the verdant grass I miss,
Or long dead friend, I'll never hug,
Amnesic our companionship.
Mortal lustre loses shine,
Flesh depleted by and by.
Revoked is our replenishment,
But landscape shall endure.
Though many shades of green exist,
Only one I yearn to view.
Others are the same as mist,
Compared to thee my homely hue.

Elrond lives there
His memory
goes bak for eons
His daughter"Arwen Evenstar"
resides in Rivendell
She is as beautiful as the evening stars
Soon the elvish folk
must leave Middle - Earth
for the gray havens
But first they must
must face the depredations of Sauron
A
company
was
formed
there
Nine walkers representing
Elves, dwarves, men and halflings
were sent out
in juxtaposistion to
the Nine Riders - Sauron's malevolent wraiths
Driven to madness by
the Rings of Power
Sauron desires it
with a fierce love
The homes of the
Elves, Men, Dwarves and
Hobbits
are in peril
Resting and refreshing themselves
at the Last Homely House in Rivendell
The company girds
itself for a long, wearisome
journey
through fire - and great danger
