Of Byron And A Visit I Once Had

Alas! Youth and its joy away has flown
I wake at the break of day with a groan
the smooth mirror...

Brainstorming until figuratively blue in the gills...,
and finally gung-ho with a poem title
important to yours truly
not disappointing his Facebook fan base,
which electronic affirmation,
and confirmation, breeds gratification
analogous to being
the proud papa begetting offspring
progeny growing up at...

Q:  Why would our US's government want banks to spy
      upon their Bible purchasing customers?

A:  They want to keep tract of Bible believing Christians.

Q:  Should Christians not...

An occasional chance encounter
With a stranger on the street 
Can change life like a tidal wave
And lift us off our feet.
The mystery of wakefulness
Like the dance of rolling dice,
Is filled with rhythm, love and hate
Virtue,...

Relationships are special
Where break ups are rough.
The reasons you loved them
Become why you leave.

A special bond shared,
Destroyed from the roots.
You become haunted
By what you both shared.

Where once lay adoration
Turns to resentment 
Of two souls who
Once...

Dear God
I know you hear my crying
From deep in the night
I really am trying
To make right
I'm awake in my bed just there lieing
To prepare for this battle I must fight
The war best know as my...

Come with us Halloweening.
We’ll frolic in the streets.
We’ll race from house to house to house
Spouting  “Trick-or-Treats.”

And eagerly we’ll each collect 
Confections in a bag.
Fellow ghouls, we’ll abandon you
If you even start to lag!

No slackers...

once
with such a loud voice & so much youthful energy
nothing could stop this seemingly 
unstoppable 
force &
in awe, 
people stood on the sidelines 
watching it take distance in leaps & bounds
as if up ahead
all there...

Whether the Good Lord or Charles Darwin gave Adam his fruit

Regardless of ideology versus faith rules our common pursuit


We need to accept that life is dangerous and fraught with peril

Don’t jump the gun before facing...

christian child molester with “holy” guise #1:

The Shed.

The door creaks open and refracted light creeps in,
A place filled with creation, even in the bin.
Smells of shaven eucalypt and mountain ash fill up all the senses.
Planes, saws and a miriad of tools...

Pain … constant as time
and sharp as the biting wind
	on the coldest peaks
From whence it came
		Ego
		Pressure
		Expectations
		Loss
For why it haunts
will we know?
When we confront the pain and start
the process of healing, does it matter
where or why?

Vain...

Do  you hear what I hear
Getting ready for the holidays, I brought out some Christmas music.
Nothing fancy, just the usual songs from the original artists. 
Bing Crosby,  Irving  Berlin  etc. ...

Being the worlds chief of police
Is so overrated
With all that we do
And they all still hate us

We're only here 
To keep up the peace
Spread our name brand 
Of Democracy

If you don't love us
Then kindly leave...

The thing came green like kale 
I’ve needed to toss out for days–and bought on sale
and removed edges browning 
and bent in with the texture 
like tips of my dead kinky hair. 

The thing came...

True, there is evil in this spinning, world so vast and wide.
But to label, entire groups, shows that humans can be snide.

I am not talking about murder here at all here.
But it’s so easy to...

rambling with eyes wide
cursing oneself again
traveling the tracks of routine &
coming up empty handed 
again,
watching the clock tick the way
that frustrates &
feeling the wrinkles come to the
surface of that face that
is becoming closer to the...

Speeding away in a rocket to Mars to start a colony
The astronaut feels his body is at rest, indeed
But in space, there is no reference frame
To tell him he is moving at an unearthly speed

At least once a month
the stench from my kitchen
sponge gets so bad I refuse 

one more soap saturation
of this primitive sessile. 
Why is it that I can’t toss 

these replicas of marine life, 
amongst the...

I talk to you in my dreams 
The girl with the purest soul 
You would sing to me way off key and tell me I'm so beautiful 
I tried to be your saving grace when...

Our Pictures To Burn
by Cate Rock

A picture to burn,
When I'm done with you.
My picture to trash,
After there was no "I do"

Cloths to shred,
Oh you said it was all a lie how i shouldn't love you.

The Holiday is almost here because:
I hear the sound of bells ringing for needy kids.
Listen at the tussle and bussle in crowded malls.
People cussing and fussing about their so called in-laws.
While the kids is a...

Blessings bring poise in senses clear,
Dare greet bold choice with charming cheer.
Eat then to live with healthy fare,
Check what life gives in dangling cares.


Watch how sweet food can cause unease,
Change of low moods toss out...
