Battle for the Atlantic II

if obstinance you let these wolves deny.
As tonnage sinks beneath the torrid crest
your struggles for survival magnify.
Each flailing ship that ferries surety
is fodder for the fathoms of abyss.

Moscow I

when war becomes a method of despite.

as segregation separates is corps.

‘tis ego that consumes the despot mind.

A Prayer For Any Moment
Obstinance, indifference, blind tendentiousness towards one's own self. These are all the shattering of my scattered thoughts of myself and you today.
Just as I woke up to these conditions that I am placing upon this...

Resurrection
I rise from deep within the earth
out of pressured lavas
I rise above the level into
breathable realms
I rise following the risen
He who set my path and
monitors my lift lovingly
tenderly, yet such pinions
given of steeliness unpluckable
I rise...

The Nature of Poetic Change
I aspire for a flight of magnificence
though the words at times reek of innocence.
Yet striving to create a renaissance
in form which will not require penitence.

The Flipside
"The Flipside"
We write
our hearts out
we pull
the catch back in
slowly,
they read,
we think,
too fast
swallowed
in the hollowed out
hallowed hearts measured
ounce per ounce
we write
our hearts out
stamping footprints
obstinance turning
ourselves
inside, out
stone washing

Unrestrained Hatred
I have often seen perfidious faces
wandering through dark hallways
without showing any human resemblance:
ah, is it envy, ah is it jealousy;
or an unquenchable absurdity
that doesn't admit their open obstinance?
Unrestrained hate can turn us into unrecognizable...

The Imprisoned Soul
In the castle of flesh and bones,
Held by the chains of antagonism,
She dreamt of freedom,
For he was who she was yearning.

She denied...

Conflicting Beliefs
We never engaged in the pleasure of love-making,
they banned us from giving embraces and kisses:
how belief shaped the naiveness of our minds...
making us fear and keep us from sweet giving!
We longed to tremble, giving...

Poet took a high-falutin' leap of faith,

Fully Equipped
I’ve already packed
Everything you need
For your trip, Little One.
“Yes,” she said,
“But I’ve never been
To Chicago before,
And I just might need
My old hairbrush
And this book I used to like,
And…” it all went
Into her backpack
I smiled...

The Loneliness of Together
This life has become unbearable
Two ships passing in the night
For there is no greater loneliness
Than the loneliness of together
How two people can desecrate
Each other with such brutality
Two lives torn into tatters
Addicted as we, both to...

Overgrown Weeds
Spring is here as well as the weeds,
they are growing profusely all over,
thinking about weeding the front garden,
it means bending down and yanking,
as they scream and are chanting.
Determination is my mood as I pull,
