Seeing Spirits
For years, Tim had the visions
Seeing things that no one could
If he spoke of them, he's crazy
He kept quiet, like he should
Just normal, little, visions
Of people who were dead
Just wandering in places
He knew weren't...

Mine Slovenly Unkempt Appearance Spelled Embarrassment
Mine slovenly unkempt appearance spelled embarrassment
spurred by most recent therapy session
with Renee Cardone
whereby thematic thread
stitched how yours truly sewed

Light On the Devil's Chord - Day 9

As a heart-wrenched spirit of truth caresses your comrades
They are perturbed as you are by the magnificent light,

A Way Back To the North Pole

Be still my heart 1391
Flutter dear heart
Let this mystery start
Of entwined lace
And God’s holy grace
With scented chiffon flowing
Smoke from the chimney blowing
And stifled salted tears
From memories through the years.
Melancholy laments
What my love represents.
Indispensable betrothed vows
That soft emotions arouse.
Paradox wandering...

but an eagle’s call
heard.
A life joy-filled
sorrow
I feel every...

And not so much as a mouse could be found,
The children had hung their stockings on the hearth,
As a quiet, peacefulness gently fell upon the Earth,

Porcelain skin, eyes of deep blue

In the wicked wind, fluttering away like herself
She clasps to her neck the silvery heart-locket
Before looking down from her shady alcove
She has no more time to waste, and, deciding...
