Prelude

After banishing my foe off to hell
The Lord took pity on my soul 
And returned it to my undead shell
Again, I was alive and whole

But the consequences of a second chance
Meant that I would have...

To wrestle the American State President intellectually

To ridicule the financial dry seasons I went through to this...

That turned out badly, he met a bloody end
A State Department cabal thought he denied human rights
They pulled the plug and turned off the lights
JFK agreed he had...

Lady Liberty Cries

I could be wrong, but I’m alarmed.

"Stop those refugees at the border,
They are poisoning our society.
They are cruel and such a bother.
How dare they corrupt our civility."

It seems these thoughts are alive,
Upon the...

Time and tide again waits for no man
tempest-tossed upon life’s billow
The hull or the dinghy
Serves as a fortress
Though steady on its keel
Knocked his wits and sense
As he vacillates between levity and despair
Caused by his unbridled...

Fear is the very pearl from which love is crafted.
It's only a natural gesture to fear,
The fleeting moment when we might lose all we hold dear,
Even as we relish their presence by our side,
Loving every...

In shadows deep, where burdens dwell,
A mother's heart, a timeless spell,
Her journey etched in tears and pain,
A testament of love's refrain.

Through sleepless nights and weary days,
She walks a path, an endless maze,
Her spirit sturdy, never...

The empty cross up on the hill
The veil in two, the blood was spilled…arise
The heavy stone, now rolled away
The vacant tomb where His body laid
 “He is not here,”...

A generation’s first, this lovely boy,
my nephew, held us all in total sway.
His every word and antic brought us joy.
I must confess we spoiled him day by day.

He grew up happy, strong, well-liked, and smart.

Silver spoons, white silk, and china,
Her world of luxury defines her.
So ignorant, and so naive,
Too comfortable, and so she leaves

And comes to rest, though tempest tossed,
Too far away to call her lost.
A wilderness, to her...

The sea captain's weathered house still stands above the shore.
'Tis said that the old place is a century old or more.
Its long-shuttered windows face out t'ward the restless sea.
From the widow's walk his bride yet...

Buzzing rail buggies 
spinning paddled tires beating
out a gritty wake feather
on sand dune
deliberation over alcohol burning
engines being better than gas
everyone with lit cigarette in hand
aroma of tobacco with salt launching
forth from frothy waves
forms low misty...

Heart! My consciousness! My compassion! My reality!
Broken by grief, stress, strain, wrath, and pain; now fails to be free!
From that fatal moment, we lost our melodic rhythm,
I have lost my Physique-psyche coherence and lissome...!

Equilibrium like...

Here I go again
Dancing the Monster’s fancy
Until the curtain

Final curtain call
Chancing all my sanity
Final curtain fall

I went off my meds
Let the Monster out instead
To control my head

Daemon’s back as well
He tells me drinking is swell

A friend in a pinch is seldom a cinch
to be found in a world uncaring.
Some might offer aid, then want to be paid,
with an attitude overbearing.

Friends made from the heart will never depart
though the way...

I'll write of things lamentable like poor shipwrecked loves,
Tempest-tossed by bestial winds behind unfeeling storms;
Ripped apart by the furious middles of swift-gusting winds,
Voyaging to dream-born shores away from boring homes. 

I'll tell of the Fate-shattered...

In the arid grasp of a withered plant,
The hive appears forlorn, its dryness stark,
Yet within lies the nectar all relish and want,
Nourishing sustenance, a feast to embark.

A facade of chaff and wax, so unassuming,
A fragrant...

Tempest tossed along lost dreams
Salted wounds in these tears stream
Flood gates washed about
Drowning amid dimensions latent, further
Within whirlpool, a limbo 
Of languages ancient yet, not unknown

Aligning streaks
In saddening ire
Off a cleft
Symbolizing
A drop of broken life
Retire
