Long Eternal flame Poems

Each flame 
elegantly weaves in waves
flowing up from resources red cinder hot,
similar in warm color
temperature decrees
of beauty as integrity's truth
trust each surrounding flame.

Each flame 
unique in point of origin below
as ubiquitously flickering fading destinations above.

How could this possibly be a anything fake 
For that would be true if you were Rod 
Or Todd 
Or Harry 
Or drake ...
But no, you seem to arrive at just the right pace
Perhaps anyone...

Who wrote the book of love
Why do fools fall in love
You Can't Hurry Love
You can if you're making it
Does Blondie's Sunday 
I Don't Know What Love Is
Ask someone who knows
Love Me Like A Hurrcane
And bow...

Hidden beauty resides not in the grace like charms
Of coy smiles 
Painted across a gentle Madonnas face.
Nor is she vested within the chastened vows
Of saintly knights; encased Great-Helm:
Thus maketh the pale maidens meek pulse
To so...

freedom day 
(april the 27th 1994)


far too many brave compatriots died

and

flooding rivers of tears were cried

with

daggers cutting into their heart

the pain is felt still deep today
on this glorious sun-splashed South...

At twilight’s ease of dusk the autumn leaves do flutter in the
Evening breeze, trickling downwards across inspirations canvas,
Creating a multicolored cascade at sunset, a leafy rainbow clasping
From the tree tops heights, than blowing wildly astray...

I've always 
wandered in 
venus' orbs, 
searching for
the star-seed 
of my spirit that
has forsaken
it spiritual 
sanguinary and 
caged every 
fluorescent flicker 
in a sculptured
sanctuary of 
materialistic
metamorphosis. 

Wondering - 
what am I, 
in the camouflaging
shades of...

In the tapestry of time, a story is spun,
Of hearts entwined beneath the sun.
It began in the halls of youth's embrace,
Where two souls met, face to face.

In the halls of Primary, their eyes did meet,
A...

It’s not even lyrics that I’m writing 
It’s the feelings that I’m fighting 
When they striking like lightning 
Nightmares so realistically frightening 
I’m struggling to wake up
I can’t wake up!
Oh God I can’t wake up!
I’m...

Your ropes are a fuzzy memory
It resonated deeply in my heart
with eyes as calm as the moon
Shepherd of the endless mix
White and glistening wilderness
Vast clouds kneel before your desuetude.
A thin smile that conceals deceit
A halcyon...

Shadows seeming to come alive
Light playing trick’s in minds eye
Sound so soft it is barely heard
And .. Nobody anywhere utters a word ..


Silence reigns with no soul
Pavement sweats and seems as glass
Cloaking mist flows through...

When you return home after many years,
stepping onto familiar soil,
your heart stirs with bittersweet anticipation.
The sun-tinted house that once witnessed your dreams
now stands a stranger, with cold eyes afar,
overgrown vines clinging to its weathered walls.

“Let your light shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father
in heaven”

There is an eternal sight that lights the lives of men,
She is wondrous, full of rage and fury.

Poetic Ode to Mother



In the realm of love, she reigns supreme,
A guiding light, a nurturing dream.
With tender touch and caring embrace,
She weaves a tapestry of love and grace.

Her voice, a melody that soothes the soul,

I lay awake in my soft silk 
staring into the empty space
that seemed to fill in my pounding heart.
what eyes hath the power 
to seep through the brick of skin
and cup my emptiness,
to live, to...

Whispers of Legacy

In the hushed silence of my heart's deep chasm,
Lies the ache of a bond severed, a cataclysm.
For I lost a guiding star, a beacon bright,
A parent's love snuffed out, swallowed by night.

Oh, how...

When love has gone sour and sour as a burning wound
That is left to heal on its own dear lord

And rhythm has eluded me to the point of utter shame oh lord
Your songs of praise...

All youth have a lust for the obscene;

Our bodies, no longer temples, are unclean;

You are why I keep trying to persevere

From the moment I met you
 My life was never the same
 I think about you of the time
 And I didn’t even know your name

 Deep in my heart you light a fire

It was a summer day dressed in boredom
For four suburban Ohio boys
Looking for some excitement
In their banal lives from their banal toys

We took some old models of Navy ships
To a distant wooded stream
Armed with a...

Would I ever have him?
She weighed with a heavy sigh
Underneath that shadowy brim
Is a pair of benevolent eyes
Eyes full with memories of
A past that remains unspoken
If I were ever to lose his love
My heart would...
