Bombarded by myriads of daily data without cease,
I suggest a forthright discourse on this topic,
carousel of trend and sound adherence  merely looming?
some unwitting sentiment  an aspirational diction,
reverberation or innuendo pending aftermath augur,

I dwelt once in a dreamy town, my land was alongside the border,
In a region of natural beauty, next to a crystalline body of water.

From the jade hills of my land, I could clearly see...

NO FREEDOM FOUND FOR  FOOLS

The three of us knew what we were doing
We also knew what we were doing was wrong
What we didn’t know was that trouble was brewing
But numbers made us all feel...

Dump Artificial Goals, Live a Purposeful Life!

Do your goals disappoint you, like verse without rhyme,
There's an urgency missing; all go overtime,
Are you jealous of others whose goals play a part
In much larger endeavors that border...

I have traveled the world over but like the United States best
From Maine to California, north and south, east, and west.
Born in West Virginia, I live in the Commonwealth of Kentucky
Have visited Vermont, New Hampshire...

I.

Conversation comes in polite manners
And natural tones.
We talk;
You of your early mornings
While I of scattering
Thoughts that border on nonsense
Debating with myself on a mind divided.
I babble, distraught;
Should I or should I not
Complement such aspect reserved
For...

These are the people that voted for our president
And these are the people that buy all the tabloids
And these are the people that wouldn’t notice talent
If it hit them over the head repeatedly

Last picked at...

And so I sat thinking of something I couldn't live without....
As if my house was on fire and I had 5 seconds to grab one thing. 

A very hard decision to make. Or is it?
I'm...

As I lay listening to the steady thumping of his heart,
I can't even begin to explain how much he has become a part
Of me of my life of my heart
It began at the very start

There was an eagerly keen schoolboy,
Who when used the Greek term ‘hoi polloi’,
His teacher, a pedant--
A kind of stinging ant,
Corrected it to ‘the hoi polloi’;
Sir, my apology,
Ain't it tautology?
No, use grammar, boys as would a...

Hej and Shej made everyone cry, and they did not care.
It was fun for them; for they were a mean god and goddess.
The sun observed their meanness during the day.
The moon rolled his eyes at...

There lies before my eyes a soaring mountain,
For certain at the top there is a view,
A sight I’ve seen before the falling curtain,
Of chapter and of life that I once knew.

Perhaps I long to see...

Hold out arms, hands and fingertips,
spread shoulders…shake loose.
If you’re not clouded by flesh
you’ll feel it - your verge shifts, 
sometimes an inch, 
sometimes a million miles.
A bright brim begins to look at the stars 
as...

It wasn't easy to see you
As the enemy.
  A lot of love replays
In my memory.

  I live in the valley of
The Damned.
  You ran off with a
One-legged man.

  What happened?
Not easy...

Daydreams need to be housed in a safe environment.
Whilst relaxing, meditating , bathing and pottering about....
A daydream raises and floats out like a thought cloud...
Comfortable, secure surroundings nurture these  bubbles
of dreams , hopes ,wishes...

Impressed by its color I went to chase it,
Taking small steps towards the direction it flew.

Those white stripes on its wings seem to reflect the sun rays,
The yellow border on its body was the color...

I looked at my Mom in her 60’s and mused
I have 30 more years that’s unused
Before those wrinkles start to show
In this smooth face gazing from the mirror
Smug in my sureness 
Yet also showing my...

She danced with Josiah as the band played Mariah
And the children did hide and go seek
The fireflies were dancing the young folks romancing
And the moon now and then took a peek

When love seemed forever and...

Diabolique!

It's so tragic, in poetry!
There is no safe place to be.
Knives come at you with your
poetry, if political.

I do understand people 
now border on the hysterical.
Anyone on the right, in danger
of poetic execution.
Unjustifiably, diabolical!

But as in life, poetry is just
personal...

Some are born into a house
With no love.
  Some learn quickly how to
Push when they shove.

  Some are born with a
Silver spoon in hand.
  Some live off the 
Fat of the land.

She needs a separation, you can understand,
it involves subjugation, you can understand.

Her boss at work chooses only female colleagues, 
some may be a temptation, you can understand.

On break, his frequent jokes border on harassment,...

Does God Care Who Wins a Football Game?

There are just a few words I'd like to say
As to things for which it's proper to pray

But some words...
