Under the MakeupWhat I saw didn't match what I thought I knew,
To be you....
It scared me for a moment because you really had me fooled,
Standing for something for the world to see,
Is it for show or in your heart what you believe,
Sorcery at it's best, all that glitters isn't gold,
And underneath the makeup is a lost and...

Crossing Linesvroom…vroom
Toot-toot
near miss
stay tuned
I say
highways are not
not hard
takes a Bard
to park this poem
vroom…vroom
make room
I’m here to stay
not ruin
someone else’s poem
near miss
stay tuned
takes a Bard
to take a part
in this traffic
easy go
when it’s light
but when it’s heavy
write…right…write…left
crossing lines
make sure they’re not double
seeing reality
toot-toot
vroom-vroom
have to cross the line
so I don’t hit
the accident
don’t do a bang up job
back at it
write...

No Tutelage Needed-humorfiddling with a magnanimous tootling - no tutelage needed
anonymity of the artful dodger - blaming innocent bystander
widespread whisper and stare, waving away any hospitality
scent swept under the rug - stinker with a wink and a toodle loo

FLEASI think that I shall never see
A bug as ugly as a flea
.
A flea whose chewing mouth is prest
against the doggie’s hairy chest.
A flea that bites the beast all day,
And lifts its bristled legs to prey.
A flea that will in summer tear
A bloody hole where doggie’s bare.
Upon whose body germs abound
And parasites throughout are found.
Pets...

Wind Of Chance
Wind Of Chance
The billowing wind
rendered alluring melodies
luring many men
thirsty for his fate
each beholding his cup
full of frothing lager
concealing the lethal dregs
making the jolly man
a hollow being

In His ArmsWhen everything becomes quiet and your heart can breathe,
You realize how much more important it is to just sit with me,
That everything else is moving at a faster pace now,
And distractions are on purpose all around,
To keep your heart from progressing and remaining focused,
To keep your mind busy but you will see through this,
As you...

The Humorist and the Alchemist
The humorist compares to the alchemist of old
except his humor he transmutes into laughter
not the precious metal the alchemist is after,
though humor is often worth its price in gold.
And whereas no alchemist, we’re told,
ever transmuted a speck of anything into gold,
he did achieve more than a measure of laughter –
not exactly the result he...

RevealAll the things I wish to say,
The very real issues that caused me pain,
The things that I need to see,
That are contrary to my faith and what I believe,
I speak here...I bare my soul,
So I can see to pray and let go,
To know in my heart what's really going on,
The things that you think about...

Empty instructionsTwisting and turning words as if I'm unsure,
Because your experiencing your own internal hurt, immediately relating others stories to your own without knowing,
Everything that happened within the story,
Bits n pieces without compassion of any kind,
How can you speak love without that fruit on your vine,
Who will listen or take heed to words without compassion,
If it's...

My Doctor
My doctor is a man of charm and wit.
Smiling, he told me I was dying
and just to prove he wasn’t lying
cancelled my next day’s visit....

Harder to seeLord, you see...
Everything...
When I don't understand or my heart is too heavy to speak,
When my compassion overrides my logic,
Or when I still give beyond people's ill judgement,
When I close my ears and block out opinions,
Because I know many can be shallow without knowing the reasons,
I have fought for underdogs many times,
And when I have seen...

Emily Dickinsons Burial
It may seem a cruel tragedy
that Amherst’s greatest poet Emily
Dickinson never got to marry
though she burned ardently to be.
And yet in Death (if you’ll allow)
she did eventually get laid –
not in a man’s bed but a pine box
and (if you’ll allow) this paradox
she still remains a chaste old maid.

NightmareIn my dream the deception was deep,
This girl was healed through the enemy,
And everyone believed that this healing came from God,
She was showing proof that her sickness was gone,
She was passing around a rope that was plated in the middle with gold,
But the rest of the rope looked rugged and old,
I knew it looked strange...
