Alas
how they suffer
poverty seeds disease 
like a puddle breeds mosquitoes - 
the sickly buzz is everywhere..

the dirge of the drudge 
nowadays damn near everyone in refrain

enough to almost make this heartless
hooded old...

All that I had is gone, and all of my efforts a waste,
When I look around me, there is no more of a familiar place,
without the ringing music of your voice,
I'm so scared, but I...

You who I barely know, unconditionally love.
We are so close, You and I, 
Yet we are too far apart.

What is it that persuades me to envy you?

Disfigured, he remains within his cage
Listening to melodies played onstage

Within the pond of love releasing ripple effect
I breathe your breath as...

I can see you through your hell.
Heaven doth mock you until you spill.
Just like old friends, 
Hand in hand, 
We bled.  

Tame the shrew, 
Untouched by filth
And rob her as she shrills.

DEATH IN LOVE WITH LIFE

Life flows in entrancing river of beauty
The end it carries from the beginning
Through the valley of ecstasy sparkling
To the ordained waiting sea of tranquility.

The nascent petals blooming in flowers
The butterflies bathing...

Cupid Did Me In
by Rick Rucker

Little Cupid did me in! 
His tiny arrow did pierce my skin!

Not much bigger than a gnat,
It changed my Life, from This to That!

I heard wings flapping, then the sting,

Pulsating so via lively beats per;  
Ever caring hearts so tenderly beats...  
Detering not the least, glowing beats per.  

Tender hearts which cannot forego others,

People eating their daily fill
Mothers popping their daily pill

Fathers drinking their daily beer
Hunters shooting their daily deer

Rain pouring on the city
Parents looking for each other’s pity

Children playing very gaily
Tourists visiting the town of Raleigh

It’s these...
