Ashore

margins stimulate and juxtapose
  edges greet with troubled, disturbing friction
  faraway forces exert influence and combine relentlessly
  how the Sun and Moon dance together about the planet Earth
  their grasping hands...

One generic baby boomer, a garden variety sexagenarian

One generic baby boomer, (a garden variety sexagenarian)...
offers his interpretation of critical race theory

I, (an articulate, charming, domesticated, 
erudite, friendly, genteel, humorous, intelligent,
kind, learned, male, albeit modest – married) 
with freshly clipped formerly gnarly toenails

Into a Dark Raging Storm, Tempest and Hail

Into A Dark Raging Storm, Tempest And Hail


Into a dark raging storm, tempest and hail
alas, sadly all was to be to no avail.
Twelve pounders broke loose crashing about
some over the wind praying in a shout.

Prisoners...

Ireland - a Divided Island Part Three

kaisers, kings, emperors fight for territory
  dispensable bodies left in the ground on foreign soil, unreturned
  militarisation of memory and folly
  an Irish nation half-wrenched from a bloodied and wearied empire

The Rescue

Children toil with their buckets and spades sculpt castles into the sand

In joy and in innocence they build towers gates draw bridges and moats

Know deep in their hearts that the tides are stronger than fortifications

Nothing...

True Power


There is power in His word
A power beyond comprehension
He strengthens hearts
And blesses souls with His fortifications
He reinforces armies
Those who know His grace
He increases the very angels 
With His kindness and mercy
He is far better than...

Psychology of Self

PSYCHOLOGY OF SELF

You fear what you fail to understand,
The many versions of love portrayed;
The depth of distrust, disloyalty and pain,
Causing a freeze at the mere thought of it;
To live in fear of being vulnerable,
Having another...

Great Wall

Stone elongated nearly 4 thousand miles,
across the country of china, smiles.
The 16th century would see many small,
fortifications become a great wall.
The long wall's surface area is massive,
thus far, nothing man made has surpassed it.
Born of...

Fortifications and Apple Squash

10 parsnip street, thought carrot. Elongated places in wisdom curves. Aromatic spices on compounds and a dramatic twirl from a very energetic spoon whose primary existence is to perform backward flips at many dinner parties....

Lady of My Life

Her heartbeat echoes like a love moan in my mind,
summoning centuries of refined romanticism soulfully enshrined,
the contralto of her voice a fillatio upon the cock of my consciousness,
through her eyes I see that mystery is...

The Rising Cost 2020

People are starving
prices are rising
people are dying
tariffs are mounting
children are suffering
as predicted
life is worth nothing
and the expenses keep on mounting

Land is eroded
the forests are felled
while food mountains are built
the price in the process of disjunctive
it’s...

Physiology of a Dust Particle

At the crossroads of time, where April flinches in buds parted

At the crossroads of time, where April flinches in buds parted,
Spring dwells in the temple, a priestess in a procession of timid lights.
A gentle breeze blows, carrying dreams stormy on the orbit of the stars,
Through...

More Snow Coming From West Carolina

Side streets, avenues and boulevards
seem fortifications of past civil wars
with piles of ice glistening, and the grime
and dirt from passing cars splash them with slime..


The meteorologist from Eyewitness News grins as he tracks down the...

The Siege of Strasbourg

Prussia and the other states are moving like a juggernaut.
Each day, our forces are falling to the onslaught.
The German states and cities are united as one.
We have been no match for them since the fighting...

Francisco

Build the towers you want,
this and that; green, red, and black,
Who defends you, that’s your business, but
Franciska is mine, my freedom.
Don’t pretend you don’t hear,
Neither prophets nor sorcerers will pass you by.
They will not help...

Affection Antedotes

Resistance is futile
I know this well, even as
self wrought fortifications fall
by way of your velvet touch,
disarming every suspicious sensibility.

That recoiled voice within
reminds 
to bristle at your touch
distrust this sweet advancement
coldly
despise the caress you brandish
Gently you...

Kaolin ceramics shelved for display
A framed mirror suggests a window into time
Fortifications in a continuum surround this fortress

Inside a Southwestern style is secured
Bulldozing nature for architectural delight
Rich in warm tones and textures of stucco
Baroque oval...

Boundless- a Poet's Worth

Some might say speech is silver, but silence golden
But my tongue as a poet is resigned to speech,
Speech which bears not triviality of common silence
No, it bears not the triviality of the banter of the...
