The Last Laugh
One of Life’s indisputable facts:
Government reserves the right to tax;
And tho’ they waste far more than they should,
It’s supposedly done “for the common good.”
Economists use the word “propensity,”
Just a fancy word for “odds”, you see:
The...

Recollections From the Golden Cree I
I know of a river of more than average
Sorts...
Meandering, when not dallying to maunder,
Between many differing contours
And unruly contorts;
Where a privileged youth once
Happily sought -
Pursuing about his passions
In the traditional methods
By which...

Fantastic Flight - Chapter 4 - In the Long Run
*chorus*
The mountain winds are howling its stormy resentment
The snow glitters on the triumphant mountains…
I’ve tried to conceal these feelings of discontent
My eyes are spraying with tears of sorrow – weep no more, sad fountains
Don’t push...

It Grew On Me
I was a fashionable horticulturist, for elegant flowers keep eternally in style,
Like the saffron sun, coming and going, always causing dark skies to smile.
Plants were a jade preoccupation, long before glad days of my rosy...

Ruins
It's about time we talk of ruins.
So, let us talk, for you never know,
How long ears of hope will remain receptive.
Your lips are missing, and your kisses fall,
Like ripe plums and tint my confession,
Like coffee...

Sunshine On a Rainy Day
I lie,
on my large comfort bed..
counting seconds,
syncing my heartbeat,
with the tick of the great white clock,
above my head.
What I'm thinking,
even I do not know..
Clouds have formed on my thoughts...
Fogs have scathed...

He Cured Infection
The hardships of my life
Are like a clump of maggots digging through my skin
They are deep within...
How do I inspect them? Where do I begin
When I am in profound distress and sin?
I’m infected…but yet You...

Skylarks and I
Enchanted by skylarks I surrender my time.
Day's sun unabated riveted me to broiling heat,
I stew in my skin. Every toxic thought
Pollutes my surface as is intended,
But corrodes and cankers their patron's heart.
The statue has a...

She Is On Her Way
She'll be rather willing to be burnt
on the stakes forgotten
than sleep and wake in the jailers chains
watching her purpose gather up dust.
Rake her charred remains
heap upon heap among others
that died trying
She'll smile till the last,...

Double Ration.
In that old dorm,
Mates were like they in bleak hostility.
At home we tried lies for fatter baggage
And we were happier when we'd got
Infrated purses. But no much
Was so much for starving bowels;
And limbs...

No More In Chain
The naïve life possessed by the power of desire,
turns into an inanimate object, utterly inert.
The buoyant being, unsuspecting and unblemished,
if captured by the vicious clutch of cunning lust,
rolls...

Always
An errant wind ruffles the
surface of the lake,
disrupting the satin sheen,
quicksilver becomes watered silk.
The breeze caresses the old man
and he looks up in wonder
as he sees the spirit of God
moving across the face of the...

Again.......
I’ve been all wrong
watching it all disappear
Whispers in your ears
vibrations seeping through
with all my lost years
Lost in my mind
thinking of you
trying to get out

Old Barns, Old Folks and Old Wine
Old barns, old folks and old wine - an unlikely trio upon which to muse,
But the analogies will become manifest as upon each I proffer my views.
Though the vicissitudes of life have taken their toll...

FarmerJohn took Tractor Weekly
Sat and avidly read it all
Even cut out tractor pictures
And hung them on his wall

Prized possession of his life
Some said he loved it more
Than He loved his...

Things that my own heart caged.

A Man Uproar
The man when born
and die,
In ruefully and
spiritless sigh,
And in middle of his
youth, he uproar,
Again and again
loath, with roar,
In this fiery
arrogant ways he
astonish,
His vitality and
humanity of mannish,
In this mid of
couple years he

And made a blast of
hatred...

When the last golden sun streak is vanishing
into clouds under the darken canopy of night.
The shivering dust settles behind the evening,

And all my tasks turn out wrong,
And I wish the things I had not said
And feels like turning over and play dead...
Ha, I sit down ruefully and I write.

Peg and Gimpy
When Reggie was in the army
He lost a leg
His fellow soldiers
Renamed him Peg
He was extremely brave
Soon forgot the pain
Although without this limb
He would never be the same again
Jake was a friend
Peg met in the local...
