there comes a time when
people you once respected
reveal
or you discover
the real
person behind the mask

face facts
people who never wanted you
to do better
than them
are now wishing
that you would 
shut your mouth
stop your tweeting
delete your facebook
get out of...

We are indebted seriously 
To all free spouts covered 
Whose nozzles hardly suspire
And hanged up to rest in subsequent sighs 
But keep hoping the wait be over soon 

We are indebted seriously 
To all hands...

Isn't it about time that the West and NATO stepped in
To put a stop to brutal aggression by Vladimar Putin
Men bound and shot, with their hands tied behind their backs
Enough is enough civilised world, it's...

I took  a trip to Paris, France and of course I wanted to see all the attractions,
walk the boulevards, see the museums and art galleries, linger at an outdoor
cafe watching people stroll while ...

This frail age-ed woman who stands before you		
was once someone vital with life to live too.			
						
I was once young and pretty, a new bride to be,			
not always trembling as life slipped from me.			
						
A mother of...

6am she's been up all night long
Filling more and more pages with each hour that passes
Her heart has been broken, she's been head over heels
And yet each time she finds a way to heal
Her writing...

Many moons ago the island was born
spewed up in a volcanic eruption
it was perfectly formed out of rock
five nautical miles from the mainland

A barren isle with no life on it
visited sometimes by birds and seals

Stonehenge is a famous monument in Britain
a prehistoric mystery, architecturally sophisticated
built in stages, the first part built 5000 years ago

At the foot of the unknown soldier
I heard them speak about the past
The generation born after the war
I heard them sing of warfare
Like children recite rhymes 
I heard their threats of war 
Even from lands...

The light aglow does shine, within the wagon train,
Many voices sing, to the tambourine's enchanted beat,
Playing along the fire warmth, of their encampment.
All together their rations share, with one another, breaking
Bread with an evening prayer,...

A place of sorrow that brings such comfort,
One of death yet cherished by the living,
The lines of tombs and ancient burials mean naught,
Compared to the hidden glories beneath the covering,
Tree of stately age and unerring...

I've never visited my grandparents' grave 
not since their burials 
many moons ago 
when I was young 
and didn't understand why people die 

I was apprehensive about it 
would they be mad at me for...

Signs
Of 
Science
Geometry
Geomancy
Dots connect
Ensuing forms
Enclosing spaces
The dimensionalities
Carved or drawn on sands
Or written by melting of snows
We are enclosed by this geometry
The geometry contains us in fact cradles us

Art from the heart, a religion of ritual,
where One summons God and glory to center stage,
your spirit enriched by the self confidence that ensues
as inspiration smells like cedar and feels like sanctity,
the physics of mystics...

A Fork in the Road

In everyone’s life, sooner or later,
Comes the day to face a fork in the road.
Ready or not, the chances are greater
To encounter this daunting, heavy load.

First, a state of stark confusion...

Friends,
Trumpians,
EcoFeminists

We gather here
to no longer hear divisions
across a win/lose 
zero-sum aisle
so we can see revisions
within a win/win
nonzero-exponential
future free of buried guile.

Green flowing fullness
no longer mourned
for lost love of deep theistic
preculturing wealth
buried in steep 
sacred indigenous

Release your look away at the horizon.
And notice the people straining on the stoves.
Arranging the days and the routes.
Bereaved, surrounded by total silence. 
The waves slammed against their feet. 
In front of the smoldering sun, their...

All regrets, in every backward flashback
leave bitter tastes like remorseful morsels
  left drowning in your tear welled eyes
    each day was longer and lower

The Forgotten ?

To live with this conscious contusion
and forget how babies cry

Become so untouched by horror
commonplace a communion with nothing

Care less for hunger
and wish the lacerations pestilent

Abjure the reminder
and seek instead disjunction so cognitive

Every scream...

The naked truth sprinkles holy water
at curfew hours with touch of morbidity.
I'm on the brink of shortages -- of food and faith,
parading before my eyes the endless stream of bodies
dispatched to crematorium and the more...

Blacked Heart


Within the blackness blissed lies the love that has been missed
For within the miasma mist a darkish deprived heart does resist
Of the silenced sounds heard escapes a lonely wounded word
Of the slumbered souls spurred...

I am everything - though, unevenly so - that I need to be,
It is with that realization that I can begin to move forward,
That all the pieces are there just waiting to be sorted,
Picked up...

The living to themselves gossip attract,
but at death eulogies mitigate lies.
Love and care from he who breathes is withdrawn,
but his slumber does attract parties.

Fake mourners with feigned tears in burials act.
They rip off and use...
