Sandpiper Pausing...Again

What times are these
where hearts run hot and cold
ceaseless conscience alerts
remind us of steel girders fallen prone
entombments sealed
their distant voice remembered well

Compassion's lens peers through
this fallen metropolis of micro-flesh
this glass transparency
engulfed by forsaken smoke
knowing...

Since there was no stone to close Jesus’ death tomb
According to modern Christian myth, it had vanished,
But as of the Gospel version of this story, boom,
In Luke 24:2 the stone was rolled away - astonished?

The herb
A plant of richness 
To  understand 
the mystery of the herb
Is the source of good health
Oh I love the herb
Give me the herb and 
let me dance with a long life

When freedom defers its justice,
    A fearful republic becomes
        Impotent to expedite.

Its own house of worship
It has its own dialect,
It is bounded by 
its own rites and rituals

It has its own justice system 
Its distinct way of...

It's time to get the tinsel down
and put the Christmas wreaths away.
Bright decorations I so love
must not stay up another day.

So many feasts, behind us now,
were smorgasbords of great delight.
The cards, the shiny bags and...

Pleasure primes pain,
Wit wonders why?
Glimpse gutsy gain,
Style sanguine sigh.


Fancy feels faint,
Big blossoms bulge;
Queer questions quaint,
Ideas indulge.


Prompt payment plays,
Ask apt award;
Death delays day,
Reap real reward.


Action aids arm,
Buzzy blooms bounce;
Cherry cheeks charm,
Pretty play pounce.


Wanting woos wealth,
Migraine mulls...

Sometimes at night, in the soft twilight 
when the full moon hangs low in the sky
I’ll hear your voice sing, from long ago
and listen before its tune takes flight. 

As I shiver with the fading...

Stimulating her Emperor's savage
Aquisece defers demand of regal constraint
Furtive festivities provide passage
Into fecund gracing gait Autocracy ordained

His thought voiding thaumaturge 
Covers strident intellectual with molasses 
Cater of paramour calms...

Languages so many spoken by we species
We interpret more than said and also unsaid
Words really matter but to an extent
Those who do not say still do comprehend.
We are engrossed to hear what satisfies us
Fill our...

creep dark alley swamps;
hanging jungle themes invade
quiet dens perpetuated by
creation’s wet glory...croaking:

Alien Kree race
Soldier warrior
A spy
Yet humble
Defers a rumble
Done his native Kree warrior
Military uniform
To sometime protect earthlings
Found of treason for protecting humans
Humanity

Later paired molecules with Rick Jones
Temporary logged in the negative...

Oh yes! Poetry is still alive and well,
And in these modern times a poet may tell
By picking up any near-by pen
To express the beauty felt with-in.
Of these often troubled times, 
A quiet place to compose...

Her skin is like a manuscript 
Gone fragile with old age 
That crumbles at the slightest touch 
Each time you turn the page.

But if you delve below her skin 
Prepare to shed a tear

Work warm wonder
Observe offer
Rouse richer realms
Dream dazzle dreamt


Welcome wise way
Outline obey
Reach restive room
Defer death's doom


Weary words wane
Ordain obtain
Restore refrain
Denounce detain


Willing works wrest
Obscure obsess
Rescue real rest
Describe depress


Winsome words win
Obvious obscene
Ripe random rates
Denounce deflate


Willing worth weaves
Oozing offers
Reaping...

Dark cumulous clouds contain
the filtered sunlight in a strange
monochromatic sunrise
where birds seen in silhouette
seem to think they can sing color
into this this grey day.
Mountains defined by stark dark shapes
fade into the distance as if swallowed

The Sun 
The nucleus
Of our space radius
A constant, its incandescence
Essence.

Its light
Energy source
Divinely bestowed force
That burst across the Universe
Defers.

Power
Of attraction
In all things and beings
Magnified by the force of love
Above.

Creates
A  huge cocoon
Of warmth like a greenhouse
That...
