Light On the Devil's Chord - Day 23
I conversed with the lone demon,
Who had asked for redemption on an earlier day
On this day her voice was mightier,
More brave, and powerful
She dared not sing in the presence of the Dark Prince,
But spoke freely...

My Spiritual Expeditions
Forty-Five years ago, it was, then
I held my Bible, as a close friend
Yelled loudly and thumped my finger
If you don’t believe like me; a sinner
In my self righteous indignation
Looked upon folks as heathen

However, I’ve mellowed...

The World Is Dark
I often think my world is doomed
evil seems to thrive so easily
Can my bloodied heart be saved?
Will the church help, will anybody?
News discourages my outlook  
orations from politicians do not inspire 
nor do prayers...

Plastic figures, disaster lurking

Minds In a Morass

Minds awash with dreams and aspirations
Eyes wishing from normal life to retire
Ears primed to hear inspirational orations 

Delivered at a pacey rate
To a receptive audience
Minds desperate 
To get with mischief in silence

Ignorance By Osmosis
Standing next to stupid,
pale tone idiocy 
can’t even proximity spell
moral illiteracy

Ignorant feelings blinded by color;
stunted neural moles moving backwards
behind a non-lucid, Luddite veil

Vacuous thoughts unruly did
beta wave at the cloth
Amidst the mindless mob mentality,
moronic orations...

Obsession with "O's"

Oh, obsession’s obfuscating oligarchy
Oceans of oblivion
Outrage in ostentatious obsession
Overrun in hurricanes named obdurate and obstinate
Overtures of oxidized compulsive orchestration in
Obbligatos overflowing obituaries -
Overbearing octaves of the obsequious –
Orations of overt objections
Objectivity overpopulated by...

Premium Member Ramblings Inside a Door
Somehow in the late of nighttime,
a wooden door's front lantern brings
me to a table where strangers 
from a distant tavern grow more animated 
with a litany of stories
and ramblings inscribed on their life’s hinges.

Varied tones...

Have you seen the Fat-white, would-be Samurai that lives 'round these parts?

On Poetry and Prose
A bridge from colloquial to courtly

A span where idealism and fantasy 
pair
A railway to the existential realm; 
celestial lair 
A conduit through which rational

He'severythingiwant
His warm breath like milk,
Dark eyes that glow
Sharp yet fulfilling presence
Provides sense of comfort-
I adore his appealing character

Of proper influence
Both in the streets 
And in the office-
Enticing are his orations

His delectabe...

Surrenderings
I've watched a lover's dying breath
Fly homeward to the sky...
Was tutored by orations
Of the dusky forest's sigh.

Brave, touched the face of madness,
There tried to soothe its pain-
Watched children weep at gravestones
In dark, pain-shadowed rain...

I compose this short poem to express my sadness with no end.
In vain I sigh over the diminishing of our friends in this world,
