Dedication To Alex Braes

Each anchor had a level of education

During the Eve
2/14/17


At similar and different degrees
Animals, humans, and objects proceed
At lower and higher speeds
By the land and sea
Near many trees
Bearing fruit, or mainly leaves

Far too many display greed
Being naive, with intentions that deceive
And mislead

I believe
Indeed
I'll succeed
And...

A Pharoah had sent them, afraid of an oncoming war

Astonished at what they saw that morn.

If Old Men Fought
An old man looking out his door,
gaze fixed on a distant shore,
reminiscing to a time, not of happiness,

The Wretched of the Earth (For the Katrina Hurricane Victims)

Accosted by volcanic ceaseless water 
Stuck and struck endlessly
It held grip to all that ever
Existed in New Orleans

It reminded me of the 
Beginning when...

Premium Member Muse Speaks
When trauma lurks
with upper hand,
To know loss
is to fear death
of much-loved reputation
and taxing self-respect.

When therapy
lends Her feminist sway
to know
and co-invest in life
is to predict
and cherish waxing love.

For both these reasons,
we send a significantly wrong message
of...

Idioms Part 1
1/18/17



Among so many rocks and leafs
As well as animals that squawk or squeak
Talk is cheap

Many things considered a dime a dozen
Like limes and onions

You're either with or against the clock
Whether it is continually making sense...

Hope: a Worthless Virtue
Wherever you find Mankind, two plagues follow Him: War and poverty, both preventable but
impossible to eradicate. The reason: greed. The sorrier of the two is poverty; war

Pictures of babies and license plates,
are you asking a criminal to find you? 
The internet is NOT benevolent.

Keep your life out of reach and private.
