One Last Walk
Falling, falling faster as my world comes crashing in
Shattered into pieces, a fragmented puzzled man
Blind sided catastrophically, recovery seems so rare
Wide eyed, open mouthed, jaw dropped into nowhere
What I thought so perfect, you thought the other way around
Cardiac arrest, dead chest, breath of no air, voice without sound
The pain in me categorically a level 10 on a disastrous scale
Falling through open space, a hopeless Jack A$$ with no tail
I thought that we were happy, I thought you were my best friend
Was it that easy to forget me, is he that much better of a man
If I die I'll go peacefully if true happiness is what you've found
This I thought you had with me as I smile teeth first into the ground
Please, please just remember me, look to the stars I'll be right there
My love for you is unconditionally, your Guardian Angel of despair
You have infected my entire Being, every part of me loves you so
One last time please hold my hand and walk with me before I go...

SHOW FAITH TO TRUST WITH,
EYES CLOSED; FINGERS CROSSED.
AMONG THE LIVING ARE THE DEAD
IN THE LAND OF THE LOST.
BURY YOURSELF IN WORDS,
WRITING AND READING.
KEEP YOURSELF BUSY,
KEEPS THE HEART BEATING.
MAKE TIME FOR THE ONES YOU
LOVE, NOW AND LATER.
IF YOU’RE A BELIEVER,
THEN THANK THE CREATOR.
BE KIND, SAY WHAT YOU
NEED TO SAY.
DON'T PUT IT OFF, NOT EVERYONE
HAS ANOTHER DAY.
TAKE RISKS, VULNERABILITY
CAN BE BEAUTIFUL.
WHEN YOUR OLD YOUR SPIRIT
CAN BE YOUTHFUL.
FILL YOUR FISSURES AND CRACKS
WITH PATIENCE.
SET AN ATTAINABLE LEVEL FOR
GREAT EXPECTATIONS.
DRINK SOME TEA, SPEND QUIET
MOMENTS IN THOUGHT.
STAY LOYAL, BE PROUD OF YOU
CAN'T BE PERSUADED OR BOUGHT.
TRY HAVING A CONVERSATION WITH
A COMPLETE STRANGER.
BE ON GUARD YOU CAN RECOGNIZE
INCOMING DANGER.
ALLOW YOURSELF TO LET GO,
DON'T WORRY ABOUT BEING STUCK.
BELIEVING IN YOURSELF IS THE SAME
AS A STROKE OF LUCK.
SOMETIMES IT'S BETTER,
TO NOT ASK WHY.
LEARN TO SMILE WHEN YOU
WANT TO CRY?

Covid 19
Covid 19
Pandemonium erupts
Toilet paper is king
Churches are cancelling
The choirs cannot sing
Covid 19
Covid 19
The last known hand sanitizer
Has been stolen out of the hands of a dead woman
A woman who was alive when she picked it up
But the man had an ax and was not afraid to use it
Covid 19
Covid 19
Schools are closing down fast and hard.
People are buying all the peanut butter they can carry
Family reunions are being cancelled
And brides and grooms are not allowed to marry
Covid 19
Covid 19
Such a pandemic of thoughtlessness
I had previously never seen
The level of angst and fear so high
The atmosphere quite mean
Covid 19
Covid 19
My heart is heavy today for the children so young
Who have no idea that celebrating no school is eventually going to be no fun
For one day they will have to make up what they miss today
Most likely their summer vacation they will have to pay
Last Stroke of Midnight
The last stroke of midnight chimes –
All plans stand at attention, start here,
Perfect prophecy inhales the first breath
Of winnowing starlight foretold
As you draw up to step into your blemished creation
With new lungs filled with crisp fulfillment.
Torrents of roaring grace
Smash narrow portals of garden betrayal
Eras, ages and eons of sneering dominion
Turned sideways
Genesis false victory turned upside down
Smug visages fade into imploding ego
The missing piece of the heart
Readies to vibrate again in unison
With the tenor of timeless oblations
Heaven’s plan of trembling preparation
Explodes with triumph
Through the breathless comma of anticipation
Before the simpering wraiths of wilderness
Gorges prepare to shatter, valleys get ready to level
Avalanches of obliteration make way to raze
Buttes, crumbling cliffs and ridges of desolation
Midnight’s last stroke of domination
Turns a beastly reign into a flailing whine
Eden’s new age strides into time
In beauty’s signature crossing mountaintops
Leaving incense where insolent decay
Leaves ashes of deluded victory
Sweet scented leaves overpower putrid
Advent conceived, gird in reality, released!

The Fact(s)
It started with a poem.
Penned in by mistake.
Then it ended up in a letter,
that later turned into an email.
That was forwarded,
not once but a thousand,
and then ten million times.
Then someone was asked,
what it all meant.
They were floored by the fact,
no one knew.
But some did,
and some took action.
Some gathered,
while others spent.
Some prayed,
will others chose to laugh.
Respectful of no one,
nothing is as it was,
and the old have no bones,
left to gnaw.
Awaken the lazy child,
staying in the basement...
living on the meat sized portion,
of the daily bread,
at the discretion of their
own parents,
busy making a living,
before they die.
A level field of uncommon valor,
that has no heroism in it at all.
One no better the next,
cogs in the wheels...
of a larger machine.
Then broken and left,
beside the road,
rotting...
on their way,
to nowhere.
Be anxious for nothing
Because there is always a way to achieve something
Grace, Courage, and Strength remain by your side
As you collide with the circumstances of life!
Know that darkness will
Spark a level of resistance!
Use it to your advantage
Let the storm not make you a monster
Take any pressure and
See what treasure it offers you
Keep your eyes on the prize and
Know that in difficulty you can rise
Your circumstances can make you wise!
You are courageous
Because you have a level of Grace attached to you
So walk in the beauty of your strength
Therefore, Grace, Courage, and Strength flow through you and
The length of your determination is rooted in your vision

A smashing sound stirs, they “bang the gavel.”
Concessions granted; court begins to unravel.
The eight need votes, an agreement was reached.
Abandoning rightwing values once preached
Tenure, cast it as a repudiation of his failure to lead.
Accusations of advancing policies, this day he’ll heed.
Policies that harm American families and children
What we are really saying is we must stay in power, bewildering.
A twenty first century political leader top level
Thought to have made a deal with the devil.
Backdrop of heckling and mockery from his colleagues
Only good behavior with us, we only hire trusties.
“You’re no martyr!” Shouts from paranoia’s untrusting
Of brokering a “secret” deal, on Ukraine funding
Offered an ominous warning as the House veered toward an ouster.
For broken promises, we shall reckon with the next jouster.
Because he wanted to work for togetherness?
To anyone with a pulse this is senseless
They tabled the vote, why I don’t understand this.
They made no secret of their opinions of this antagonist.
Bemoaned that the House as an institution is broken.
Tears fell and words nevertheless stayed unspoken.
“Elect a speaker that will help us work to pass policies.
That coincide with our beliefs and our monopolies.
That truly support the people of this country!"
Again, spewed so untrue, to help, is elementary.
Ensure we do not come to the brink.
Of another government shutdown I think
Due to disagreement of the budget, it’s greed.
Taking programs away from those in need
Where results are dire, it makes no sense,
Results are disastrous and it is dense.
The Talking Heads request.
Changes inevitable are for the best.
This isn’t a test, "Stop Making Sense!"
Start making corruption end, hence!
A better America will prevail.
Not just another deal with the devil
Puff! Puff! Puff! Gonna get real buff
Working out like a fool every day
Wait till the girlies get a load of this bod
My gorgeous physique on display
Puff! Puff! Puff! Gonna get real buff
Girlies will want to slurp from my bowl
Trying to get in on some of the action
“Hang on now, show some control!”
Puff! Puff! Puff! Gonna get real buff
They'll all get a piece sooner or later
Really can understand their excitement
I'll soon be one pumped up operator
Puff! Puff! Puff! Gonna get real buff
Alway knew I had animal magnetism
But I've taken that to a whole new level
Complimenting charm with witticism
Puff! Puff! Puff! Gonna get real buff
Working with the weights, a real jock
Soon be on the cover of “Muscle Power”
Great physique and abs like a rock!

Myopic muddle
as beauty swirls
hues of heaven
yet bypasses
static statues that
pose as sentient
beings beknighted
dawn’s divine dream
seen as bland mirror
on ebbing eyewash
cathartic colour is
a universal uplift
even for low level
lustrous earth dweller
Immersed in skewed slant
I bandy icicled retort
as though taut timing
ever swayed rigid
stone age postures
elysian echo a speck
in azurite caves
to auditory aloofness
allied to blinkered
whim ‘s wanton
plight with dull
and dim twist
dispersed among
trivial terrains
alienation personified
vessel vacuous and void
rehabilitation of
the wayward faculty
a burst balloon blip
outsider ostracised
from gilded gardens
and sumptuous bloom
of ripe recrudescence
still limp laggard
on hackneyed cue
might yet stumble on
the fig of wakening
