The Lay of The Best Man - Part One

I’ve seen men ‘good’, and surely, I’ve seen men ‘bad’

Twisted, fuming with anger, and consumed with rage
Callous and cruel...

It’s Christmas Eve, Babe
In the car pound
It shouldn’t be this way
Should not have been found

But I’m the lucky one
I am the thirteenth one
And when I got a scare
I hi-tailed out of there

But everywhere I went

Ramapo, New York, a small town
Was rural ... to say the least
Where simple folks lived a simple life
And most residents could rest in peace 

But, tonight was prom night and
The summer evening was unusually cool

A poem for my Orion 
Who cowers in the sky
For many years, his faithful hunting dog 
Was always by his side. 

“Orion you are iniquitous, 
You do not shine so bright.” 
The dog's thoughts were...

I'm sitting here with lots to say
But silence most likely is the best way 
Thoughts so dark, even im scared 
A problem halved, but no problem shared

Lots of talk of darkness and light
A history thats...

Fool’s Quest
By Mark Spencer


We all wish to be accepted
For what we say and do.

We should receive our due.

For if we must invade the space,
Of someone’s comfort zone,
Should they respect the...

Run, Girl, Run
She was just eleven, small and spry,
Her father said, “You’re due, oh my…”
A spanking, harsh, the kind she knew,
But this time she thought, “Not today, not you.”

He called her brothers, big and loud,
“Go...

I’m haunted
Taunted
By spirits of the dark
I’m no morning lark
Mournin’ in the mornin’!!!!!!!
So paper-thin…within me…
UNDER my skiN… 
I made a new language – 
Ignored…angered…an opened refridge –
Once cold, now warm
B/C
I forgive……………
You?
Shying away from the fact that...

Girl you know how much I love you,
Your all about everything I do.
Sometimes I am in your dungeon 
For crimes I never did. 
Even when you know its not true.
You still torture me because...

Mind’s serpent illusion, must be brought to a real conclusion,
As the serpent’s mind  illusion is only a fleshly protrusion

Nor can it ever...

Just a normal looking laid back guy

No caution heard no Hazard signs
i'm just passing by
Our eyes meet
In that instant my heart skips a beat

The world around escapes, leaving us this framed exchange
Two people drawn in...

Mother taught me to not kill,
Her holy book forbids it.
Written somewhere in its many pages is
"Killing is the wickedest biblical sin."
My mind holds me prisoner,
A self-judged convict-
For I have murdered men,
Buried them in the catacombs...

Threatens to bring unreasonable hate
A graduate STUDENT some now condemn
With even death threats against him

You didn't have much to offer,
But you offered what you had.
Your life had not been easy,
And sometimes that made you mad.

Common sense was not your wont,
And you made a lot of mistakes;
So you and Daddy...

Do you want to know how the pomegranates tasted?
Oh mother dear, would you like to know how they felt?
Like freedom.
Oh mama, don’t you know?
He didn’t kidnap me.
He didn’t have to.
If we’re being honest here,
I stole...

Teachers were revered, their honor like a throne
Despite meager pay, they earned respect and fame
As bookcraft wise men, guiding learners through life's maze and flame

Parents held them dear,...

No Gays Allowed!

There’s Roscoe, a fine Christian is he
Just as righteous as anybody could be

With his Bible he did like eating a fish
Roscoe picked out only what he did wish

For “love your...

(To Armstrong)
Remember those days when mists of uncertainty
Shrouded our timid hearts.
We never left the hearthstead,
The fire of which burned from our silent prayers
And our hopes blossomed into a fortress
That brimmed with ripples of success.
Remember the...

Her forked tongue could put the poison on a tribesman's dart
All the things she did to drive us apart
She talks so much shit her breath smells of...

A woman in rags with beautiful skin
Rusticity seen all over looking for a job 
To her the village sky was too small to win
She wanted to soar in a city sky to probe.

Breathing silent hope through pain and its fears
Reaching past the sorrow to face the night
Learning to let go of hurt that haunts years
Lifting up one who’s down so they can fight

The places of our past are ingrained
Stop fidgeting, they won’t go away
They long to be placed under lock and key
To bring us more pain for we can see
The power of the presence of their kind

Stopped into an old junk-antique shop, found a favorite
The music collection of famous Ravishanker, the sitarist
Just I was going to walk out as I was short of dollar eight
I felt a tap on my shoulder...
