The Moon became quietly jealous
One night when I surveyed Venus.
The usual glory reserved for her
Went to the dancer with Perseus.
At first, she passed for a star
Sparkling high above a church roof
But as she moved down further -
Her ample speed gave proof.
Outgoing clouds didn't shroud
The evening sky of cerulean blue.
Enchanted, I stayed around
To observe her quick rendezvous.
Fair Venus shined like a jewel -
Like one worthy to be set in a ring.
Because she was so beautiful -
She sent a jaded Moon waning.
The wide net of the Milky Way
Was cast and failed to pull her in.
She outshined the Dog Star
And evaded sly Orion
And as the Sun moved below -
He teased her with stealing her glory.
She lusted for that power
And disappeared after him shortly.
Tho' I know her general stream
And her light is brilliant and dense -
She's been gone. I haven't seen
The Elusive Lady since.
~ A Lighthearted Look at Cheating on Keeping Kosher ~
Pick my poison, shrimp or pork
closed my eyes, lowered my fork
I’d hankered for that suckling pig
but I tasted shrimp, and couldn’t renege
Lightning didn’t strike me, I did a jig
of the (shrimp) cocktail, I took a swig
Upon awakening, my stomach was rent asunder
Hmm. I'd evaded the lightning ~ but not the thunder

Sometimes older Jews tell young'uns that if they eat
pork, they'll be struck by lightning... Seems they
should mention shrimp and other non-kosher fare too!
Predator from my past
A predator form my past is here
Watching my every single move
Since police spoke to her, to stay away
Doing everything she can to have control
Of my voice, my words, my writing
After already committing infringement
She is not writing poems here yet, venomous lies
No, she is just watching from my follower list
Thinking she has the power, as always
From having cops in her pockets years ago
When she evaded justice, to go on to more atrocities
This is her way of having a view into my life!
But, time is running out, for accountability by law
The arm of the law is long and the others are gone
Her mentality has her thinking she is invincible
- She is not -
And, when she steps away from the computer
My words will continue to ring loud and clear,
You will not stop my words, you will not stop my writing!
You stole my voice once as a child - never again!

I have lived under towering skies, in the shadow of cold, silent laws,
Never bowing beneath their absolute powers and their flaws,
I sought not the blazing storms in their crystal goblets of might,
For they feed on our turmoil, our ancestral plight.
Authority, a heavy phantom, hidden control in the shade,
A player on the world’s stage, a game of masks cleverly laid,
It must be mocked, like a magician who hides his trick from view,
Deceived and evaded like a river changing its course anew.
If peace flows in your veins like a gentle river of living silver,
Let it settle in your soul like morning dew on a tender shiver,
If love burns in your heart like a fire lit in the night,
Live it like an echo of falling stars, whispering light.
If you believe in all the winds, like the breeze through the wheat field,
Live freely and fearlessly, like a river that will not yield,
For you may end up contradicting yourself, a shadow on time’s wall,
If you wish to change the world, start with yourself, heed the call.
Just as the ocean shapes the rocks with patience and time’s grace,
Let time be your ally, find your strength, embrace your place,
Dance with shadows, sing with the echo of the high and solemn mount,
Laugh with the stars in the endless night, shine like a lighthouse to count.
This is the art of living outside the law, without losing your path in the run,
Be the protagonist of your dreams, sculptor of your fate, heart of the sun,
A traveler in search of self, on the eternal road to becoming,
Painting your dreams on the morning sky, with desires brightly humming.
I am One Woman
by Lori Maria Walton
Dedicated to women who have suffered abuse around the globe who need hope after the tragedies in everyday life, the disappointments we encounter along the way, and the beauty that remains inside, but we so often fail to see.
Left alone to die in a cell that is limited to your command
Why do women leave their only self
To join as a slave to the one who laughs at their weakness
Deems them unworthy through all tasks
In spite of all the hard work
I stand here amazed at my own naivety
Chasing a dream of what I’m supposed to be
Leaving the love and freedom of who I really am
To begin a life with someone who cares less
Than I ever could
A baby is what I was hoping for
A baby has evaded me
Leaving me only with your spirit of criticism
Whispering to me that somehow, I am really not ok
Even for a moment
Doubt beyond doubt
Piles up to the ceiling
Along with all the initials that stand behind my name
Mocking me that I could only enjoy a false sense
Of victory over anything
Everything I have failed
Nothing have I succeeded in or feel as though I have
Made a mark beyond a small tainted coloring
On the glimpse of life that meets my eyes
In every dawn
Shall I continue this nonsensical dance
Waiting for someone to acknowledge my ability
To provide something valuable to my family, society, and self?
Or shall I retreat into the secrecy of the spirit
That haunts my being
I am one woman
One spirit that wakes every morning
A brief moment do I savor the morning prayer
The burgeoning flowered tree bowing to me and opening its door
To come in and dine
I cannot open my soul again
I cannot be all that I want to be for you as I was
I can only sit beneath this old maple and dream of days
When I fully saw light, hope, and love within each soul
And lifted myself to new heights through a window
That never existed.
Form:
Of all the gin joints,
and pool halls,
on bar stools,
and in the shallows of oceans, the Siren calls.
It calls us men back.
If only men can bust that Jack!
Oh, for years you evaded all men like me,
and kept hidden in the darkest of corners.
But while drunk or flat busted you were the best friend of me,
while I groveled and trashed all that was the "bless-ed be."
If only then I busted you, Jack!
Yeah, Christ came and saved my soul and gave me a purpose for living.
But you, you damn bastard of Babylon!
You knew when to come and go; when to hide and show what's missing!
You damn demon with no name, telling lies, casting shame... and blaming.
But now I got you, Jack!
You are done, you miserable scum!
I got you by the tail and you're not welcomed back.
Squeel for me pig! I got your number, and I got your name.
You were sent from hell, and you have sent many to the rack.
But now I identified you, and I call you out, "Jack!"
With God by my side, and you in my sights,
I call you out Jack, the rat.
Brace yourself, you son of a fatherless whore... here comes a fight
I sing "Pirate over 40" no more!
I'm about to punch out your lights.
Are you ready, Freddy!? Here it comes; now it's time to say "good night!"
I simply turn... and walk away.
Goodbye, Jack... now I am living life... MY way!

Matthew 19:26 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
John 14:16 "And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever" [spoken by Jesus Christ]
The realities of life so hard
you want simply to run away
any evasion to just avoid
for your mood's just so grey
Responsibilities are a real pain
why do we have them to do?
cause someone thought it good idea
well some of us think it's not true
These awful tasks drain us through
we'd love to chuck them all out
could we not just do as we like
now that would be good no doubt
But we would just be putting it off
our judgement day would come around
it can't be avoided nor evaded
so stand up and stand your ground
Whatever it is that holds you back
throw it off and forward you go
evade it no longer and be brave
it's never as bad so don't say no
Thank you to everyone who has been visiting my motivational series. I am grateful.

Two Friends in Heaven
I have two friends in heaven who have something to say:
You can hide behind curtains like veils of snow
You can lie like swells in the stormy sea
But, exposure will come when the snow melts
And the wind gusts the sand across the beach
While their footprints remain to be seen
I have two friends in heaven, who say speak!
As they wait, I speak for them everything they can’t!
My words will be carried and moved by the tides
Carried with the wind, waves and snow that falls
Accountability will not be evaded forever
There will be a time when the trumpets play
The world will hear and my friends will smile!

Let me be the first
to have the audacity to translate,
This piece of mystery molded
in a magical meadow of mistakes,
The reckless subject, there,
just standing still like a landscape of order,
Disfiguring a flow of ridged ribbons
in shapes of unheard names,
Carelessly manipulating my optical
constructors to articulate promises
from paper wings,
Bewitched by the light warm
slash of sun laid upon the raging tides
within trembling silence,
How far charms can go to seduce their
way into a destructive satisfaction,
Might it'd been too kind to dry brush
around the edges of your shadows,
When the basement of your
intentions homed disturbing dreams,
Hunting for the tremors from
freezing nightmares that pray to
bury my ocean and all it's devotion,
Where do the ones who
seek the sins of lost words hide?
While half of the living cling
onto the drifting light,
This shrewd figure that clasps on
the thousand synonyms of shallow tears,
Whisking a bath of blades for
my pane of glass that hold scads of scars,
The pace of time, travels differently
when I try to captivate you through my sketches,
I am told by the tones of my pencil,
that your armor shields a menacing maniac,
Too cowardly to battle for your own persistence,
So hold on to what's left of your timid thoughts,
Sadly strength has long evaded you.
Aloof brother concedes duty evaded...
