A Haunting Wooded Tale

That's handed down through time
But couldn't be, as you will see
For this strange tale is mine.
I chose to take a country road
I do from time to time

The Ghost of Edgar Allan Poe
Accosted many years ago
By the ghost of Edgar Allan Poe
I'm now obliged to come forthright
About that dark eye-opening night.
It's only fair to let you know
I've held a torch for Mr. Poe
It's all because of the...

A Man of Few Words
(woman)"Just cause I didn't smile at you
Just cause I didn't wave
I'll not wear feelings on my sleeve
That's no way to behave.
But it could be, that I like you
Maybe like you quite a lot
You won't...

O Que O Consumidor Quer E Linha Da Vida
O que o consumidor quer
A economia da experiência comprova:
Fazer negócios
é um ato de amor.
Antes, a questão era descobrir se
o consumidor precisava consumir.
Agora, ao contrário,
é saber qual experiência
o consumidor quer viver.
Êxito no...

Words of a Born Again Man
When I began to be born again
I no longer saw with the eyes of man
I began to see with spiritual eyes
I began to hear with a spiritual ear
My tongue formed words that my 'father'...

A Questing Eulogy
It is nearing 09/11
I feel the years roll back
And what I wish was just a dream
Consumes me with the coldest fact.
That unwary citizens that day
About their daily task
Came face to face with hateful death
And...

The Vamp Who Chickened Out
Soft fingered winds caressed my neck
Kissed my breast supine
Brushed the tip of my nose
Rolled my hair like twine.
Tickled up and down my thigh
Lightly touched my feet
As I lay on my neighbor's hammock
We share back...

The Seventh Day
It started out so peaceful
It was God's Sabbath's rest
No work to be done in it
Just to keep it Holy, blessed.
But someone picked forbidden fruit
And ate of it; a mortal sin
Much to their shame and...

The Greatest Mathmatician and His Devine Recipe
A great and Devine recipe
Alas He brew one day
The Gospel worked great wonders
Precious blood did make a way.
Hebrew vessels, chosen jewels
Their descendants were the prick
That Paul before conversion
Against the same did kick.
Many calculated numbers
Of ingredients...

Eternal Life, I Know Thee
Eternal life, I know thee
I now see what you are
You've never been a stranger
Or a potion in a jar.
You've been a patient waiter
Ever serving when you're called
Many pass you in the shadows
Never seeing you...

Solomon and the Seven Gifts
Solomon possessed a gift
'Wisdom' was her name
He courted her most graciously
And soon her sisters came.
When 'understanding' raised her head
Solomon was there
And wisely let her lead the way
To things both rich and rare.
'Knowledge' seemed...

The Toothache
I wish that I had choked and died
On those chocolate candy bars.
I wish my mom had tanned my hide
About those tempting cookie jars.
I wish that I'd been tarred and feathered
For the dinners that I skipped
Because...

America, the Center Did Not Hold
AMERICA, THE CENTER DID NOT HOLD
The center, woe the center
Are we surprised it did not hold
Not even in America
And if the truth be told
When the two twin towers toppled

I Need Not Seek the Praise of Men
I need not seek the praise of men
My Lord has shown me who I am;
Way back when I was pretty young
He was the friend that I leaned on.
I didn't understand it then;
Didn't really know...

Just Stick It To Me, Please
Wednesday night, hard at work
We strove to get the paper out;
Our goal to met the deadline
And secure the daily routes.
But then an accident occurred,
A case of slice and dice and dread.
A finger slipped, now padded...

Just Like the Way It Was
I believe that when the world was young
When everything was new;
Before sin had touched the earth
And still God's face we knew
Before the sun, before the moon
Before the deep and dark
When God was the light...

Sentimento
Sentimentos
As emoções,
na vida ou nos negócios
nunca viajem em linha reta.
Nossos sentimentos
As emoções
escorrem por rachaduras e fendas,
buscando os bolsões de carência e negligência,
geralmente
escondidas da vista do público.

America, Where Are You
I don't digress, my search is true
Land that I love, where are you?
The freedoms that so richly rang
From every mountain top

Still I can hear them not.

No Thin Line Between Real Love and Hate
I drank of true love today
In it's pure undiluted state,
And all that I once thought was love
I now revile and hate.
The glow and glory of real love
Can best be felt and...

Wake Up and Smell the Tea
(This poem is a lightly satirical look back in history at what
was known as the Boston Tea Party)
Something's brewing on the Dartmouth
"Are those Mohawks that we see."
No, but over-taxed colonists crying

In Search of Love
In search of love, through shadow gone
Caught 'up', then faraway
Cross galaxies, losing no time
On worlds eons away
Blazing a trail no meteor
Could ever hope to match
Pass through the timeless doors of om
That never knew a latch,
Outdistancing...

According To the Constellations
The only stars that fall at night
Are those which cease to share their light
Their light was just for selfish sake
The glow they gave was bright but fake
And the constellations bear witness.
Stardust writes their epitaph

A member of a chosen few.

And understand the mystery

There Is An Anwser To the Whys
All things begin and end with God
That's why no 'why' is really hard
And all the whys that ever were
And all that ever be
Were answered before we thought to ask
By God and his divinity.
