whenever crossing the room
it is an existence that bends light
into an aura capturing my every breath 
a plasma that penetrates every atom within
with memories of long ago

having to somnambulate to lectures
for endless hours every day

(Webster’s Ninth)

Money trail reveals factor
To assemble humans follow layout
Swat down charges with linguistic racket
Sticks more effective than carrot dangle
Arguments sustained by pundits' jangle
Beached on shallow force Fed truths we paddle

Pedantic pets get paddle

Cradle of Life
The days started and life began
The streams took their place and mountains their stand
The trees grew and the grasses squatted,
The shrubs and the mangroves
All took their shape and made life beautiful.

Everything set 
All put in...

Premium Member The Gulf Oil Spill Tragedy
Nature consists of balances ever so delicate
Eco systems and life hanging on the edge
Man oversteps boundaries in his desire to develop it
Leaving death and destruction in the wake of his dredge.

From deep underneath waters supporting...

Heaven
Heaven is a magical place
A home for all ethereal beings.
A place where the big picture
is finally seen in all its glory.
Heavens beauty is so great that

When Calculating Distant Stars
Rain with blue sky commingles daylight into sun
Signals to the weather which way the wind climbs high
North is a birds favorite direction when singing with intent
Tiny brains are smart enough to find the south when...

A Distance to Overcome

A time to contemplate repercussions is intense
And for me to start making plausible decisions.
The distance from here to eternity is immense
In derision of my contemptuous revisions.

Sum
Injustice is not ended without wear,
and if it is to you, that it must come,
despite the provocation, or the bear,
consider self, as ransom for its sum.

That placing of thy life upon the strum,
of mind-sets rank,...

I love thee more today as all be spent
to look away in wretched discontent.
As whence all hope, is but to circumvent -

Writhing with some validation's meant
I love thee...

To conquer fear -- Let speakers speak.

If helpful hearts are sensitive
To others' needs -- Let givers give.

If poets' words can minds excite
And free a soul -- Let writers...

No longer will I
Exhaust any allotment 
On contingencies that have 
No potential

The association of love 
Must be of great significance 
And his fondness...

None of us know what the future brings
Some of us may face unwanted setbacks
Before the proverbial "fat lady sings."
