A Partridge perched upon a tree
entices him to throw something!
When songbirds sing and flap their wings
two turtle doves, cause headache pain.
Those mocking words, thread-worn with wear.
remind him of the dollars spent.
Defeat caves in, ... the thought of debt!
He bends his head to shield his face,
and steps upon the curb, to brace
against the mob, against the throng,
against long lines in shopping malls
He watches herds with purses out,
who attack the narrow aisles and park.
Chagrins at purpose, poised, embarked
They're mad! They charge like Joans of Arc!
No one pays him time of day
He feels the sting of frostbit cheer
and leans beneath the canopy
The sales are lit, with half-price tease
and gaggled geese attack with glee!
Pure instinct guides, their goal is keen
Gifts supreme, they seek and find!
He wonders, as they claim their prize,
if what they buy, and dollars leaked
will gratify their kin, divined?
With weighty burdens in their hands
and dollars spent from sun to sun,
he waits until his wife is done.
This madness took her far away
within the glass enclosed array
of Jingle Bells and money spilled,
of trinkets, socks and Visa bills
His feet are sore, a wrinkled coat,
unruly hair,... it glistens now,
With cheeks of red, he steels his breath.
Forefathers did, before their death!
Entrenched in snow beneath his feet,
his stomach growls, he begs to quit
He watches from the window glass.
A check-out line!! She's close!!! ...... At last!!
She's almost done, her purchase won!!
She grins as if she's fetched the best!
The smile she wears, he catches fast
And makes it worth the weary quest!
She was his pillion on the bicycle
The trees were bare and calm
Fallen leaves carpeted beaten path
Her golden locks dangled in breeze.
He handed her a fresh crimson flower
Fragrant long stemmed single Rose
She held it abreast , a balancing act
She smiled and was so glad....
They Reached the church yard fast
He took it back , to her dismay
Oh ! It was just a hand change
Her eyes sadly followed his steps.
He disappeared to the cemetery
His return was unsteady and slow
Again he handed over her a Rose
Almost dried and petals breaking
With a request to throw it over
Into the river , on way back home.
Only words he spoke , pedalling.
But she kept it for a long - long time
Inside a jewel box found in the attic
Time glued them to a lovely pair
On wedding night she opened the box
To gift him, his moms blessings.
Sacred sheen swaddles soul made of serene,
soul sun-lit, lifts sinless, into saints midst;
eternal, everlasting evergreen,
essence exits Earth’s exist; white-light kissed.
Soul sun-lit, lifts sinless into saint's midst,
guardian’s wings whispering soul above;
essence exits Earth’s exist white-light kissed,
blue blessing petals dressing soul with love.
Guardian's wings whispering soul above
where fragrant is God. Pure frankincense awed
blue blessing petals dressing soul with love,
spirit freed from seedpod no longer flawed.
Where fragrant is God pure frankincense awed,
eternal, everlasting evergreen,
spirit freed from seedpod, no longer flawed;
sacred - sheen swaddles soul made of serene.

My glory, oh Lord, so great and grand,
A gift so bright, a light that stands.
Like the sun it shines, a light so pure,
My glory, oh Lord, I seek Your cure.
For without You I'm nothing, a shell so hollow,
But with You I'm filled, like a cup that's full, so.
Your glory, oh Lord, is more than gold,
It's worth more than jewels, it can't be sold.
A gift so precious, beyond compare,
My glory, oh Lord, my love and care.
I kneel before You, in humble prayer,
To thank You, my Lord, for this gift so rare.
Like a beacon it shines, a light so clear,
My glory, oh Lord, Your love I hear.
I raise my voice in song and praise,
My glory, oh Lord, for all my days.
I'll sing Your glory to the world,
Your love, Your light, it's oh so unfurled.
A gift so great, so pure and true,
My glory, oh Lord, is all for You.
If you go down to the woods some day
you'd better beware better take care on the way
look where you walk mind how you go
one thing's for certain you never know
what's waiting none-too-patiently there
guaranteed it's no teddy bear
you may be on the receiving end of a grizzly
if bitten by such it's ghastly if not grisly
so keep a look out with both eyes
or you’re certainly sure of a big surprise
yet should an aroma waft your way on the breeze
from up ahead between the trees
no shades of grey but black and white
roving about throughout the twilight
watch them roam yet rarely in pairs
don't let them catch you unawares
but one misconception I must debunk
tomato juice won't neutralise
the pure pervasive essence of skunk
Some of us live and die,
never leaving a trace or trail
for others to follow.
At best, they have left a trail of tears, and any trace of a model is shallow.
There are others who are exceptional and seem to be of a different breed.
Pleasing God and loving people
seem to permeate the very air they breathe.
I learn from them and being in their presence is delightful and pure pleasure. I have been blessed with a few of them,
and I tell you, they are treasured.

A taste of sun upon my tongue
a lick of stars inside my maw
a fresh cool drink from rivers pure
mayhap her face, today ?
Before you walk away listen to my plea
I squat to feast and famine everyday
waiting for her Rembrandt smile, sweet perfume ;
A taste of mercy on my spleen, pigeon crumb for a bum
I sit and wait ravenous for peace and bread of life,
oh how I wish those stars could wife;
Anchored in home spun words of beauty and grace
she arrives with two wings offering hope and Faith;
Those two faced coins tossed in my favor
become like spun sugar in the rain, suddenly
gone and out of flavor;
I'm a wolfish man a piping nightingale
hungry for the big feast of heaven
A taste of sun upon my tongue, lick of stars
truth and light,...
I'm an Agnus Dei soft as lamb, a street man
with an angel, by his side.
Early spring rumbles
in its grunge of grey
it's a prelude to the sun
and effervescent life
Its muffled inner gurglings
await the miracle of thaw
and all its bursts of promises
of crocus bulbs and sprouts
Mere faded remembrances
the brittle leaves of yesteryear
a season buried under snow
its pure white coat long gone
Naked branches barely stir
still groggy in their sleep
await the surge of energy
to kickstart their awakening
Relentless rhythm of seasons
under threat of heavy clouds
will wash away winter’s decay
and welcome spring in all its glory

Waking up to a brand-new day with a smile—
A gentle smile.
Remembering school days with friends,
Playing in the mud with pets,
Watering my favorite rose plant,
Hoping to see it bloom... and smile.
A smile on the faces of loved ones
Lights up the path ahead with glow.
A healthy breakfast, a smooth ride—
Fueling joy to face the tasks of the day.
Fine weather promises a sweet beginning,
A smile makes each moment worth living.
With prayers to the Lord for a blessed start,
And greeting others on birthdays—pure joy from the heart.
A neatly dressed soul sparks a smile,
A clean home admired all the while.
Tasty food brings thankful delight,
And timely support earns a grateful smile—so bright.
So many moments, big and small,
Hold the power to brighten all.
In every act of love and grace,
A smile finds its rightful place.
There's racing thoughts spiraling in my head...the moment I watched the sun descend below the hills...below the streets I tread
He drives me insane with his stupidity...my trust towards him is naught...
There's bittersweet emotions brewing in my heart again...I need to bring my thoughts to bed
He makes me mad as a hornet - I lost the depression wars and now I rot...
And the silence has shot me with shame...just turn the wheel
There's doubt crashing my mind...this feeling feels so unreal
I've been
feeling this...x2 shame
Inside me x3
Without a name x2
Shame embraces me
Never leaving my presence...
(But I tell myself:)
Don't give up...
Just keep fighting back tears
Don't erupt...
Just keep on facing your fears
Your countless fears
Stay strong till the end...
Embrace the silence...
Don't fence me in with your morbid luck
Embrace the silence...
Don't fence me in with your careless doubting
I'm sick of your crying...(sick of your whining)
Sick of your lying...(there's no denying)
I won't listen to your lies and I won't trust you with my heart...
Our bond was on its last string of hope and it snipped off
'Cause you didn't keep your promises...
Sick of your mind games...sick of your disease (don't beg to your knees for my forgiveness)
Sick of your dreams and fantasies (I won't save you from your mind's abyss)
Sick of your love...it wears off on me
Sick of your existence... i wish I could live in pure ecstasy
