History's Greatest Miracle Play
History’s Greatest Miracle Play
Let me tell you a story - Prologue
Actors gather to play their parts
To set the stage – backdrops and props –
In history’s greatest miracle play
Called to speak their lines
On redemption’s stage
In a...

Somewhere On Foot Part Two
“Oh please don’t worry.
I haven’t a heightened sixth sense… about the mint infused lilt here.”
There must be a compass without a point surrounding me
“Looking for directions.
The town you’re seeking is a few winding roads and...

Great Shakespearean Stage
It has been said
by Shakespearean wit
All the world's a stage.
And so it is, I actively and fluidly suppose,
One Great Transitioning Stage
of diverse seasons
and eons of becoming cooperatively larger
and, especially under climates of crisis,
competitively smaller, too...

Political Verse
Put Them Out of Sight Now
Lay down your old ink pen...
Rise from the table...
Push back your chair.
Gather them all up...
Put them out of sight now...
Place them safely in the cupboard
Bare.
Wrapped in stiff brown paper,
Strung tightly together
With thin white string;
Turn...

~ the Meadow ~
The meadows clearing....
Surrounded by the forest, afore the mountains sculpted by time
Majestic splendors, rising, beneath the blueish skies
With cascading waters, of virgins white melting snow
Heavens unveilings, before all of our eyes
These gifts unto the living,...

Predictable
Crocheting needles waved her fingers from a self-disclosed mind
Texture and pattern set lines like predictive text and autocorrect
Wool over her eyes would know how to stitch up her soul-scape
No matter whether blanket or poncho woollen...

Spectrums, Tints and Shades
Spectrums, Tints and Shades
Like the painter’s palette awash with hues and tones – white to tint and black to shade, greys scattered in between:
What risks we run:
Shaving a little too close that we get...

Apostrophe In Time
water weeps wildly
whilst washing away your
jesting foolery.
I saw the sun annihilated
Against backdrops of liturgy
Lethargic activity that earns
It’s title as the Earth’s endearing child
Against backdrops of monogamy,
Pedestrian thinking,
Accelerated usage,
Lapping up mentalities from bowls of pulled poultry,
Doing...

You'Re Never Alone
Reflected in the tender skies, azure dreams,
Compared to the joys that inspire light,
Rustling quietly in the rushing streams,
Promising laughter that restores the insight.
Rising across the morning’s smile, songs
Silencing the darkness with such a stirring
Only...

Lover Named Night
She stumbles over wish-less objections,
frozen times, out of rotation
silent quotations of words never said.
Rightful wrongdoings/cotton candy-flavored lies
hide beneath black hazed shadows.
Still stanzas whisper secret
hopes/misgivings/dreams/realities
bleed crescent scars...

The Train Tramps
Bedraggled and grimy they hike from the tracks,
Fleeing the urban centers to the south.
Unsteady gaits and sun worn skin glow.
A young couple with a thin mutt,
Ramble towards a local store.
The lively grin of the underfed...

Don'T Let Them Cast Ceilings!
A piece of me, forged from molten memories..
of patchwork stability
Changes of scenery....haggard, humble backdrops
Questionable casts of characters...

An old soul removed from a separate...

Charm-Laden February
Velvet heart romantics sensual bounce,
embolden relish despite an North Pole
shiver amid the snowfall prism awning.
Love-in-a-mist, synonym on damp Earth
ground clay akin to scented daybreak
usher sown wistfully underneath a
picturesque garden card...

The Stars At Night
The Stars at Night
Gazing at the stars at night I marvel at their divine beauty,
Knowing that God created them as reflections of His Light.
The stars in a sense serve as light markers to mankind’s
Very existence...

Empty coral sheets

Lingers longer and longer
My beach house girl
Always breaks away before the dawn
But, ocean breezes seem to whisper back
Her nightgown trails
Are spilling carelessly across...

Falls Walk
As I walk among drifted leaves
watching as a few more fly
One by chance clings to my sleeve
and I'm reminded of years gone by
Where I am deep with in a fall leaf pile
that Grandpa was raking...

Tomorrow Is Too Late
Tomorrow will be too late to pen the imminent
Hold onto the moment and sketch the future
Backdrops must be moved for change

Wrest the quill from the bottle, seize your moment…

Parasite Alley
The moon sunk her teeth in a sky of black,
Over city backdrops and the scent of crack,
Neon spilled burning through traffic veins,
Dead man's handles on subway trains.
I tasted of acid in the end of night,
Snow...

unfocused
Our land of stars and stripes, now glows,
with screens that flicker in hallowed halls.
Entranced humans shuffle, with eyes fixed below,
on small gadgets that have us enthralled.
Should the Statue of Liberty, our symbolic girl,
