"The Onyx Treasure"

formed of bands 
of chalcedony 
in alternating colors 

parallels embedded
cryptocrystalline 
dimension

bands of light and dark 
a strong contrast
a close union

harmonious love
protector of evil 
Onyx

eyes wide open 
talisman of Leo
Capricorn courage

This is a tribute to those who were themselves
An ode to the incredible minds
Including Hunter S. Thompson and Jim Morrison

Those who punched authority in...

the only tree for a thousand miles 
gave him welcome if temporary shade
a kaleidoscope of mockingbirds filling its branches
it was no longer possible to be blind
but very possible to be jailed
for being unaware of our...

Darkness broke against the
shimmering, bleeding-out sky 
as the sun, descending back 
to its ebony prison. 
We two sitting enjoying 
Nog and Chai, speaking 
pondering of life the 
meaning, the confusion 
of memories molding 
clay upon...

As I look at the pictures of my unborn son,
I can’t help but feel guilty that I’ll miss his birth.
We have two other children, this is our last one.
I love them all equally, for everything...

From beneath foam and spray, where the
Sun light never penetrates, in fathom's chilly forbidden
Realm lies a kingdom of golden coral reefs.
Poseidon’s children of the murky depths dwell, in liberation's
Untamed wilderness of the unknown.
Mermaids and mermen...

Maybe it’s when they are born that their heart shows signs of fault.
That instead of pumping red, they pump blue into the body of steel.
Maybe when they take their first breathes, some specs of evil...

Your word oh God is like unto a lamp
that guides the footsteps of your flock
inscribed upon their hearts like a stamp
and the path of the master they stalk

On the road to Mount Zion they walk
and...

Billy McWhiffy

Billy McWhiffy needed to fart
But there was a lady pushing a cart
Once she’d passed by and he thought he might bust
He readied himself for an almighty gust

But his belly was swollen with gas he’d...

Keep life simple and supple
When aside from your dimples you brush conundrum
For joys to triple or quadruple
To the beat at the feet of laughter’s drum

Whose percussion glorifies and ratifies
Happiness in all her splendor and majesty
As...

Please do not laugh; yes, I am “woke,”
Volumes I’ve cried because ignorance is bliss,
That our social studies are demonstrably broke
When realities of our past we coldly dismiss.

Children won’t understand what’s amiss
For realities of the past...

In this saddest of times there are many who see your pain
Surrounded by people who love you but how to help they can’t attain
Everyone saying they are there for you but even that becomes numbing

We fight boarders, even among ourselves we kill 
Our struggle for life, we defend our decision

Trust,as if a friend a stab of the enemy

The order from above

It's inevitable the momentum of the large headed human ego....
has finally put mankind over the brink.
There's no coming back
the clock says 1 second 'til midnight.
The earthworms have shed their glass slippers
Soon they'll be sliding underground...

Wise men: by jimmy muniks

Without to slug I still not a lesser person
However it is greatly unwise to face raved armies
My sling clings to my every mood
Rejoices in my interactive...

The day flame sputters down to rest,
Its plump import on ebbing crest.
Small rustlings steal with gossamer spark
Around the corners of the dark.

Their song is edged in lavender
And overlaid with sweet herb flavor.
They tap on memory's...

The hawk was flying low: he was the fiercest in the sky.
He bullied all the little birds, and flew off with their lives.
The little birds were peaceful, and didn’t want to fight.
To them it was...

As one from afar, I have watched with compassion
Disaster once more, has come without warning

How often the spirit, in the most dire conditions

Two hawks aloft
crows anxious banding together
Carol Ott comes over to my house, likes the warm weather, November
a California Christmas and maybe species will change places to reflect

Some folks have a stone, a stone for a soul,
A stone for a soul in their mind,
And when they search for their emotional truth
Cold stone is all that they find.

Cold walls, black walls, walls empty...

I’m dining with my cousin Giles
Who disclosed he’d terrible piles
He’s wriggly and twitchy
Cos his butt’s so itchy
His visage is sad, there’s no smiles

He’d  tried using soft margarine
This process had just made him scream
So he...

And with lofty wisdom teach:
Band in brotherhood,

But what do men learn?
Greed, gather, gain— more to earn,
Needless thence to brood!
