AHH!!!  man my parents, don't think
They just don't...

I forgive you mother and father
For your mistakes
Will I be forgiven for mine? 
They say the sins of the parents
Shall be visited upon the children
So they have visited
And I embraced them 
In times of uncertainty

One night about a year ago, we heard whimpering at our door.
One of us had to get up and go, didn’t reckon for what was in store.
A dog, with a note “look after our dog...

I’m not afraid of rejection 
I’m afraid of the phoenix that will rise from my spine with the threat of treason 
Suppress the flame and walk away 
Use your once tempted fingers to point yourself...

The knots of your words have slowly begun opening for me.
Through the sweet scent of your presence.
They have awakened a sleeping bird which rested in my heart.
I don’t know about anyone
All I know is that...

The Weight of Angel Wings
By Rick Rucker


Whenever I see you,
Strange things happen, not a clue
About how they could be,
Far too magical to see!

When you walk down the street,
All the songbirds choose to tweet,
Could this be...

I have written of love and romance someone
passed a comment about being careful of
false idols. This left burning questions within
the mind and heart. Golden crucifixes, ornate

Upon Your Shoulder?
So The World...

The scene – the Garden of Eden.
The characters – Adam and Eve.
The time – the very beginning.
The plot – quite hard to conceive.

For they are the first two people on earth.
Though, where they came...

Bitter and corrosive
Not like lemon juice-or vinegar
Like battery acid

Consumptive
Skin falling off bone
Glass house dreams crunching under haste

Consuming 
Bone evaporating  to ash
Notions of forever lost on the wind 

Anger and dread
All encompassing 
Screams trapped in...

Tell me mummy

baby brother today?
Not yet  honey

he  might fall.
Wait another day.

Comes another day.
Mummy may I play 
with baby brother today?
Stll too young babe
 maybe another day.

A tale of a lady in waiting.....
Emily did speed dating,
For her swain she is waiting,
Emily, anticipating,
Hopes fantasising,
Are her nuptials nearing?
Is today that diamond appearing?
Shall she have a solitaire ring?
Preceding her white wedding?
Now her swain is...

So why do I do what I do?
Do I really have free choice
or am I the product
of social conditioning,
complying with the expected 
conventions and restrictions
placed upon me
by my peers and elders?

Do I live my own...

I decided today
To become a model outright
Not one that walks the runway
But one that walks through life

Someone that others can follow
Not a leader per sa
But one that sets higher standards 
Of morals along the way

My long awaited companion
but fickle and evasive entity 
I do not look forward to our upcoming date

Though long anticipated 
I don’t think I will be ready
My life's essence rebels against you

Our long awaited rendezvous ...

In our youth the sand appeared always to creep,
But because we were young we scarcely paid heed.
It continuously drained in awake hours and sleep,
This unassuming hourglass was performing its deed.

In youth, why time crept was...

I really want to, but then I really don't
My mind says to stop, but somehow I just won't

Why this inhumane suffering
A constant tale of slaughtering
Innocents who die
Forever in the earth to lie.

Do we need to see far more
All that suffering and gore
Lives of children cut so short
Simple targets used for sport.

Cerulean Odyssey, Vol.5, No.12
hollow grams of weightless chatter
boxes full of empty shells
the only seed worth saving
generations of a scarlet thread
I catch myself flying much too high
bleak the landscape of the forgotten

The warm evening breeze 
Caresses my skin as I sit 
Beneath the old garden elm. 

The chatter of birds echoes
 Through the trees as they perform 
Their spring mating ritual. 

Redbirds, mocking-jays, and hummers 
Scurry...
