Bleeding Before Rome -2
Yet at this very moment the cathedral was crumbling
down upon the cries of foresaken refugees,
the monastery's walls wobbling from war's wreckage,
and as the black bursts billowed into sun drenched brutality
with the bodies of...

The soldiers are...

For the Love of Lexicon
My Mother taught me
how to see through language,
paper was rare, iron ink wasn't free
so she sold some jewelry for porcelain lettering,
and we clapped and sang the alphabet into life
our life, our joy, our...

Consummate Exemplary Graduate Invites Kudos
Nonetheless suicidal ideations severely

Reconcilation
I sat at the bottom of your
heavenly stair case,
looking at your face that
makes me abase.
Terror and fear runs down
my spine,
making it seems as if our
relationship may be twine.

In Marked Territory
The shadow of his flight swept across the ground.
Always the vigilant hunter at twilight's time of day
No swoosh heard from the hawk's feathered wings.
This swift and silent predator never makes a sound
when soaring through shrubs...

A Lament for Fathers
Who has bewitched thee, thou noble ones?
Chosen to be the head of thy race,
to fulfill thy creator’s will,
through siring, supporting, and securing a clan.
Prophet, priest, prince, and patriarch,
How did you lose your lofty perch?
What sinister...

Body Ails Yet Spirit Soars
Frailty and aging are flaws in bodies of mankind
Viral afflictions are infectious and pose grave danger
Death from new diseases instantly come to mind
making us wary of shaking hands with a stranger
Toxins float in the air...

Roger's Waist
Roger’s waist was the linchpin
when we launched “The Rose”
off Garrison’s Cove on Bailey Island.
He let out the rope around his belt
as she slid off the trailer
at high tide. We weren’t young back
then,...

Holistic Happiness
Hurdles hold the happiness - holistically enshrined
People come to pray and tend to bow,
We all search for it - everywhere, though hardly find
Searches find blind alleys; because we don't know
Some may perceive it as preconditioned;

Destroying the Hypnobox
Torrents of opinion replacing fact
Barons control all that scrolls on that crawl
Silicon graphics--deceitful contract
Prometheus stealing fire from all
Tools of alarm promote profit-sharing
Octopus minds plot for us to keep less
Credulous masses need a good scaring
Agendas provoked...

An Imperfect Union
Where to now, uncharted waters,
Two men vying, two men scheming,
Biden gloating, Trump now reeling,
Storm clouds gathering, eyes aloft.
So much anger, consternation,
A million words spewed every day,
Talking heads intent to sway,
Incessant noise drowning our senses.
Gone all...

Carbuncle Unbidden and Unwelcome
Wounds drained, opened, ingrained, rained, sprained, trained
In the midst of a family loss
Recriminations canned, fanned, planned, tanned
To fight the brute boss
Dressed up as justice cause
Disguised as implementation of lopsided justice
Pursued to discredit the family rose
Oppressed...

Ravenous Rats Capture Our Caverns
Ravenous rats in our lives
Determined to nibble the nipples
Stabbed by knives
Cutting tenuous triples in ripples
Undulating and ululating
In horror
At the humiliating and excruciating
Error and terror
Erstwhile partners and associates
Commit or omit
To implicate affiliates
Whose remit
Captures, raptures and sutures...

God Speaks
But Few Are Heeding His Voice

Many brush off his message while neglecting his command.
From the pulpit we covet substance to tickle our ears,
While remaining...

Weighed And Found Wanting
Written: by Miracle Man

God provided a way for forgiveness of sin,
so we must trust in his sacrifice on our behalf.
For God, on the cross, became our linchpin,
If accepted HE remembers, no longer,...
