Kill a love
There are times when I feel like just leaving you alone,
But there are times I don’t want to be here all on my own;
But I know if we keep on, keep going on,
I can be right there with you when things go right
And when things go wrong.
I hang out with the losers and the freaks;
I love those people, they are just like me.
Why are you so cruel?
Why did you treat me like a fool?
Why do I care about anybody in this world?
I’m going to see you as a star and pick you apart;
I love you with all my heart, but to destroy is to create art.
To kill a love is to tear apart a connection.
One plus one equals love; this is what they call a misconception.
One plus one equals the possibility of two equaling love,
But it is not a definite answer to the question.
What happens when you put two people who love each other together?
I’m sorry the answer is not they stay together forever.
Kill me please; my life is a tragic comedy,
Written by the Devil and acted out by Jim Henson.
Love was my all, now it is just another word,
I have become the killer of love, I have become another version.
Version 2.0, the new me I became;
I have changed from lover of love to the death of hearts.
I live in a hole of endless pain,
I must kill love; I must banish it to the stars.

A humble tribute to a favorite movie
a tall story by director Jim Henson
who later created the Muppets
While most people struggle to create
and save their best works for last
this was not the case for this superstar
On the surface maybe a movie for kids
but no one is fooled by this masterpiece
young and old there are layers for all
Hansen's movie is pure genius
and touched me to my very core
in a haunting surreal way
It deals with innocence in the midst of
the balance of good and evil in the world
definitely a must see movie
This classic dates back to 1982
but its subtle spiritual aspects
stayed with me through life

~Lord, You Are My Strength~
(The Devil's Echo)
All my strength from Lord come, come, come
Thank You for all Your grace, grace, grace
To You stick like glue
In You trust I know
With You I have a home, home, home
And in Your love glow
You help pursue love, peace, peace, peace
Joy is knowing You
To You Lord come in prayer, prayer, prayer
Help me when get tense
Without You I can't bear, bear, bear
Come in my defense.

So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

"Necropoleis"
Naked and invisible
strange weather
has transported
me through the
dark violet
Necropoleis
towards the
eternity that
is You
Floating like a
leaf, cold-veined
To another life
Fire, that is You
I am falling
into You
Naked and invisible
strange weather
has transported
me through the
dark violet
Necropoleis
towards the
eternity that
is You
Awaking slowly
I am falling
into You
Floating like a
leaf, cold-veined
naked and invisible
transported through the
dark violet
Necropoleis
Falling
into another life,
FIRE
towards the
eternity that
is You

David can often be seen hot on the trail,
Of Richard Whitehead, sprinter, runner,
And was reported in Rio de Janero’s mail,
As the 200m bronze medalist, stunner.
He went to St George Catholic College,
Located in Southhampton, that busy port,
Attended Hertfordshire Uni on the page
Of mechanical engineering, to his purport.
But having joined the Army, made officer,
One day he stepped on a hidden IED,
So both his legs were amputated, better,
But he walked in no time, sports to see.
During his rehab at MOD Headley Court,
David found himself by sports enthused,
And got into swimming, basketball’s court,
Also sitting volleyball did find him amused.
After rehabilitation David did a Masters,
In biomedical engineering, at Imperial,
He inquired into an amputee’s masters -
Their prosthetics - he had opinions vocal.
At the Invictus Games he did many sports,
To win the gold in the 200 metres sprint,
And so made the 2015 IPC Euro consorts,
In Doha, Qatar, to bear the UK flag, flint.
The next year in 2016, Euros in Grosseto,
He was clipped to the line by Whitehead,
And so ran in Rio to entertain with gusto,
When he almost fell, but recovered dead.
~Her Gentle Love~
(The Devil's Echo)
Mother's love is the best,best,best
Sweetest one I know
She cares more than the rest,rest, rest
Mother's love just glow
For you she truly cares,cares,cares
Today and each day
She takes more than she bears,bears,bears
Do that then just pray
Mothers thru hard test go,go,go
So much for you do
They're best friends and that's so,so,so
They love you each day.

~Author's Notes:
The "Devil's Echo" is a poetry style created by John Henson.
This is a tribute from my heart to all the mothers in this world.
“There’s not a word yet for old friends who’ve just met.” - Jim Henson
Most people hopefully know that feeling
when things just happen to “click” between two people.
That has happened to me more than a few times in my life,
and often through poetry it occurs, as it did when I met
Caycay!
A tad younger than I and living far from me on the east coast,
Caycay lives in a house filled with kin, cats, and chaos -
bundled all together with love, for Caycay is most kind and generous.
She believes in things like Karma and being true to oneself,
not dwelling on negativity, and trusting things to the universe.
I credit her devotion to this belief system (along with other friends
of mine with similar views) to affecting my own views in these past years-
years which have been fraught with strange new circumstances for me.
In many ways, Caycay and I are quite different.
We have had very different life situations
and very different types of trials heaped on us.
Physically, she is short and petite; I am average in those regards!
She is ruled more by the heart and I by the mind.
She is not fond of writing in meter as I so often do,
but her poetry reverberates the multi-colored songs of her soul.
We both adore playing with words,
but while I often adhere to strict rules of grammar,
Caycay sometimes throws those rules to the wind,
and this wind-tossed creativity cleverly delivers
unique poetry phrasings that waft touchingly to the hearts of her readers.
Yes, Caycay was born to write, and as with all conscientious poets,
she and I share that marvelous passion.
Caycay is special because she never judges me;
she always uplifts me as she uplifts everyone who crosses her path.
We are completely ourselves with one another.
Nothing is held back, concealed, or sugar coated.
My other close friendships are all like this too:
not restricted by rigid conditions or confounded by silly misunderstandings.
How wonderful that I found a friend whose Horoscope chart
is even so compatible with mine!
Not just friends in poetry, we are soul sisters!
Sept. 24, 2019
* Caycay's birthday is coming up Oct. 3. Remember to wish her a happy birthday!
Which ones are my favorites? Who can say?
It changes hour by hour, day by day
Bert and Ernie have a banter so fine
But Oscar is adorable in his garbage grime.
Count Dracula and Cookie Monster are both a fave.
I would have a difficult time choosing which one to save.
Miss Piggy is outrageous, such a handful for Kermit the Frog.
I love it that they are paired up, in their romantic fog.
Sesame Street was one of the best teachers around.
Their word play was spectacular, as was their color and sound.
They taught my children about vowels, and silent E.
Jim Henson was one of my favorite designers on TV.
Which one of the Muppets is the most like me?
I think Big Bird, that yellow walking talking feathered tree.
I can see walking the street and poking my beak everywhere.
And being cherished for my openness, to be totally fair.
(Herald Angel)
If
I call
Him He's
Always
With Me
In Him I do have the best friend that I could ever meet.Without him I'd be lost
Jesus is his name and when I'm blue He lifts my spirit and gives me peace
With Him by my side I should no fear anything 'cause He cares for me
He's the best friend that anyone could ever have in their life
He lifts me up
He protects me
He makes me strong
When things are wrong
With Him I can
Be just myself
With Him pass test
He loves me best
With Him I want
To be each day
Because is my
Best friend for sure
I'm so happy
He's with me each
Day and all night
God's my delight!

'Herald Angel' is a poetry style created by John Henson.
Mein kampf synonymous as a blooper
Writer of these words,
a former Lower Providence inhabitant,
who dwelled within darkest depths
of Dante Alighieri's inferno
for most of his outlandish, impish,
and devilish growing up years
witnessed microscopic scrimmage,
where spermatozoan with most forcefulness
muscled itself handedly,
magnificently, and splendidly
envision unicellular olympic competition,
yours truly swimmingly
begot during the heat
of parents being passionately fruitful

between my then searingly
robust virile father and fecund mother

triggering cell bait multiplication
subsequently yielding male
gendered offspring and sole son
hashtagged as uber twittering, snapchatting,
shutterflying super duper
cute little boy with short strawberry blond hair,
whose solitudinarian nature
became quite evident when he displayed
acute social withdrawal
upon off fish shill commencement
getting schooled as a grouper
by mister Hooper,
who made his debut
appearance on Sesame Street
November 10, 1969
as storied and staple long time resident
on above named television show
until March 18, 1983,
beloved by adults and children alike
within make believe community
(a conglomerate of real and imaginary locales)
peopled with proprietary named characters
for any of a number of humorously grotesque
glove or rod puppets and marionettes,
chiefly representing animals,
first popularized, idolized,
dramatized, capitalized, and actualized
by the children's television programme
Sesame Street (1969-) and more recently
in The Muppet Show (1976-80).
Also: a toy made to resemble one of these
ingenious brainchild of Jim Maury Henson
an American puppeteer, animator, actor,
and filmmaker who achieved worldwide
notability as the creator of the Muppets
which series originated as two pilot episodes
produced by Henson for ABC in 1974 and 1975.
Henson's shocking, sudden death occurred on May 16, 1990 of organ failure resulting from streptococcal toxic shock syndrome. An emotional memorial service was held five days later at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City.
