Evolution
Evolution Not God
It is the case that there is no God,
He does not exist, he is not the one,
He is not there, he’s not everyone’s invisible puppet,
It is not personal, he is not the Son.

Philosophical Rhythmic Duality
Philosophical Rhymthmic Duality
Imminent calamity collides with structured debate
Virulent profanity confides with punctured ingrates
An insolent generation of insanity resides with a debunked hate
The innocent audacity presides over the opinions that rank and rate

Gone
In a glimpse of darkness it can all slip away .
So perfectly knit,
And so well- written.
A flawless sculpture, a masterpiece in itself.
So beautifully orchestrated, and remarkably simple.
Yet
So deep and complex in a way that perplexed,...

Dead, Demented Yet Presides
Over two hundred million people sleeps and wake without a leader,
A cloned effigy in a rock called "Aso"
too old to lead or long dead to be,
demented or dead, they cannot tell,
old age has come but...

As the moonlight reflected on a lake
Whomever you choose to be or make,
Your mind and heart can have a choice,
Add my consent if fair according voice.
Ether happiness is just a state of mind
Like joyful clouds...

Patrick Henry, the Call To Arms
To shield ourselves from the painful truth;
Illusions of hope we often see.
But, this is not for wise men's eyes,
Engaged in a struggle for liberty.
And as for me, I wish to know,
Though anguish the spirit may...

The Truth Captures Too-
You’ve captured me with your words and I’ve captured you with my love,
You are captured within the wound while I’m captured within the blood.
You’ve captured me with lies and I’ve captured you with the...

Honest Sonnets Trio, and a Couplet
Honesty presides in these fresh sonnets
Where breathing seeks to set example
For future generations on thresholds
Of honest wit staying apt and ample
Poets questioning meaning in long life
While judging and evoking honesty
They hold themselves above impending strife
And...

For her loss of strength and glow that's faded thin
And has exiled the strength of her rightful throne
To convey the sunset in the demise of...

The Human Seasons: Elements At W r and Peace, Part Ii
2
Bourne loosely through the chill gusts,
Disordered fragments of summer's life go hurried by,
Harried to their last resting places
Into piles of brittle, browning drifts
Scattered on stiffening ground.
A cold sun, coursing ever more briefly
Across these hard, blue-white...

Fields
Sleepy thoughts loiter,
Dreamy images disappear...
Sun stabs sudden focus.
Subconscious thoughts come
Abrupt as light streams,
No time to think.
Senses aware one by one:
Like octopus tentacles
Twisting and curling to touch.
Edgy promontory here:
Eyes scan the cityscape fringes,
Twenty-storey window view
Far below...

6:00 Am
The alarm rings at 6:00 am
I'm still wrapped up in my sheets
I'm floating aimlessly in my world
A subtle world no-one can see
Let me stay
In my bed
Amid my sheets
In my head
I'm eaten up by harmless...

Seclusion
The summer men are standing, alone upon a wretched stone,
Contorted, bent and torn. Dressed in paper-like ragged clothing,
The ashes of the universe, they are brother less bone,
Forming declarations from hearts made barren by their loathing.

Imagination
Hence, I plunge into imagination to encumber suffering,
Athwart are the horizons wider than my pride,
I, one but three, such a symbolic trope, the Trinity,
A gorgeous exaltation gorged into voracity, itself.
The good is near me! The...

Fine ample grass;

Splurge fond refrain;

Fishing trip moments
Offshore boat ride
