I'd risen from my bed quite early, in the pale silent sunshine,
And I thought to have a day out, and not waste summer's prime.

The world still was sleeping, but the bluebirds sang a tune,
And blooms...

Like the twelfth
juror in the play
I must say I am not
convinced
For I know a recipe
for trouble 
I have seen the
double standards
And I do not approve
this for Kenya
I will never approve
it, and neither
Would you, dear
friend of...

Pastor Warren’s church in Orange County, Unity of Tustin too
There’s hardly anyone not affected; it’s sad but it’s true

More people out of work, homes in foreclosure

You refuse, refusing the salvant call,
laying there in fetal position,
enthralled by my hex of vinegar and scrawl of liquids release that just seem to pour out of me organically.
Hissing in Wormwood's frequency dwelling, Hollywood "your...

Therewithal, profluent life ettles it's while.
Thitherward, from Death's bleak campanile
Grim antiphonals serenade.

A capriccio, the slashing swipe of the reaper's scythe
 will serenade.
Stringent Death forthwith anoints the mithridate to
Life's cantankerous and rankling ado

Hither now come, anon...

MOTHER NATURE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ladyship, mother nature, in her prime,
observed where ever one looks in summer.
woodland glades, wildflower meadows in time
explode with life, sound, song, buzzing, colour!
meadow grasses, sway to her scented breath.
pollen, lifted as directed, in depth!

Wistful is the heart, silent the walls
    where the gambols of youth echoed.
A return tale’s sentimental journey
  inside the gates of Sweet Briar Road

Long it behoves me my thanksgiving

To aerate, babble and procrastinate

once upon a time

The quiet heart departs rudimentary tasks, idle-fast in what it asks
   content as a former-charlatan, like leaf and bough,
   tree, root and earth, joined to wisdom at birth;

Based on Psalms Chapter 19

The Heavens Declare God’s Glory;
The skies declare the works of his hands.
They whisper to us night after night;

Coming to grips with this temporary fix,
Has shook up and burned my life's annex.
Forgetting all the words you spoke and the lies you told,
Makes me move forward, and you become the friend(s) of old.

A tiny little surgery garden so charming and attractive
with its shrubs rooted by garments, gold, timber and fish.
Lush tropical Islands, stretched by
lengthy, sweeping fluffy white sand beaches,

A very loyal woman was Miep Jan Gies,
Brave, caring, and really very wise -
She was confident and daring - On her some lives depended
Now, following her story, so many minds have mended.

Somewhere in sand 'n stone,
This beach lays open 'n wide 'n cold.
Not from the standpoint of emptiness found in it's ocean,
But in the form of purified space and beauty's isolation.

And seen the Pyrmaids for

The touch of imperfectionality on some naked truth.
It burns deep into the flesh of happiness,
Yet stands smiling at the laxity of frailty.
A drop of legality would have seared the ice.
Some degree of excess consciousness couldn't...

LOVE AND THE PRUDENT MIND

How can passion nab a prudent mind
Heartless and unrelenting sorrow
Passion which
Haunts across seas 
Crazes uncharted through widow making mountains

Shadows its prey
day by day from scent of soap to toothpaste caps
Sleepless nights...

Moortje was left behind
(Anne Frank's poor sweet feline)

It'd be hard to keep her
plus without her, cheaper
--to take care of the folks
but she'd miss Anne's soft strokes
--and all her loving care
though they were not aware...

...They'd never...
