Upon His soul leaving the body it once rested in,
a storm of atramentous clouds formed over the mountain top
that we once stood upon like kings.
Loss caused the quaking thunder
to shake the foundation of my heart,

I won’t grieve no more, for I need satisfaction melodically
I won’t receive gratification anymore if I give up so easily
Tonight, I will be happy...
I won’t feel that crappy...

In a snap of a moment,
I will flick...

The Universe's Dance

Transitions of the obstruction of life 
To the peacefulness of the night
Or a new beginning that a rising sun can bring without a fight
And in the late hour when everything becomes quiet

Nature has...

And we must play the stock market
Trading happiness for lies
Believe not in all those politicians who are promising us peace
This peace...

Remember to thank the Lord,
for while you lay sheltered in your warm 
blankets and stable roof,they lay shivering
blanketed by the harsh winds,sheltered by 
what one could ever refer to as home.
As you arise to that...

At the Parisian Ball

wrapped in finest gowns

of virgin-snow, sugar-rose

and washed-out pistachio pastels

The  hour-glass shapes

 with tied narrow waists

waltzed with gallant men

togged up in midnight-dusk tails.

Victorian ladies in frilly petticoats

and gossamer laces

swirled in delicate silks

Lifting...

The wood smoke is rising,
there’s a chill in the air,
the valley’s in shadow,
with the pear tree still bare,
but I know by morning,
what the new day will bring...
It’s the last day of winter;
yes, here comes the...

Some are clearly Buddhist,
they sing not much, but drone
and chant, they do not flaunt.

Some are brightly painted egos,
their songs bootie-calls from empty nests
where they preen melodically rampant.

Others strain both throats and tongues
bend a tune to...

A plush monk’s life was my designation
Before the process of dissolution
Then back to now, fast extrication
From enforced seizure and desecration

A simple life it was for me
Amid fertile land, its fruits aplenty
The chapter house was full...

We have an assortment of clocks collected over the years.
Some chime melodically, others are odious to the ears!
Some rest on mantels, others hang upon the walls,
Each emitting their dings, bongs or ear-splitting squalls!

One squawks John...

Perhaps the way the universe planned it to be
She discovered me randomly
Crossing her path, overdosed on reality
N now I’m stumbling over fantasies
Of her butterscotch skin n cognac eyes
Stealing my sobriety when she showed me that...

“And we are happy”    

Draped in dreams of liquid tides
Shallow waters cool the breeze
Toes drenched of vast believing
From grassy banks, soft and pure
Ripples of time pass slowly
Blue sky desires paint our thoughts
Soothing...

The time is now! A new future event has arrived!
 From where God created the moon the stars the clouds

In a black and white world,
feathered fingertips caress
ebony and ivory keys -
melodically forming a myriad
of vibrant and vivid hues, 
diversifying dulcet emotive reflections.

In a world of spoken falsehood,
expressions that cannot be spoken,
aid each truthful touch...

His mop of hair searching every direction
In the middle of the stage a brash spotlight

Behind a curtain dangled over a hand painted...

Yesterday, a leaf fell from my favorite tree,
In silence, all alone, I watched it slip and slide,
Turning somersaults, drifting, so melodically,
Graceful, with nought other passage than downward
	glide.
For one fleet second, thoughts of revolution grew
And cast...

Rugged mountain peaks are now snow-capped
Wintry weather creeps down with passing days,
The lips on the blossoms are faded and chapped.

Many of the larger critters are sadly trapped,
For they have not adjusted to our urban ways

Wrip my soul apart, tear 
me into a thousand pieces, 
enslave my ind and shackle 
my heart, for that...that
"I love you" once sang has stuck 
beyond the depths of my soul
