Death Was a Nice Idea

Death was A Nice Idea,
So, Chief became “My Dear”:
Suicide for Breathless State
Straight to Satan’s Estate;
There to my case restate
Boss with Heat rewrite fate…

Death was the Fine Idea:
With Lifelessness no fear,
I wouldn’t for Nurse wait,
The Steroids hold as Great,
A Doctor like God rate
And start comparing Weight…

Death was the Crisp Idea:
Life has proved Another Spear:
Always Airways leave clean
To off hold Shaming Scene!

Faith In the Wind

I said it all long ago
once in a poem
Nothing to restate,
 no words to explain
The waters have traveled,
my ship has long sailed
Your curious intention
brings only refrain

All thoughts into memory
whose feelings have gone
The property of others
my words now belong
Wishing and hoping
the spirit disowns
All wisdom diverted
—to skip that last stone

Pandamonium

Between the pandemic and the politics,
It seems the truth won't reach out to all.
Since some will peddle only fear,
Seeking leadership they can recall.

Just like a virus, the false narratives have 
Spread, where the rule of law seeks to restate.
Finding uncommon fertile soil, stained red by
Ignorance, and blinded to discriminate.

The tragic fraud continues its story, flawed
Only by reason & history to observe.
With hopes that the few powerful, look beyond
Their privilege, & do what's right, for those they serve.

Active Listening

Listen to my voice; I will be your God and you shall be my people. Walk exactly in the way I command you, so that you may prosper. But they did not listen to me, or did they pay attention. 
Jerimiah 7:23-24

God the Father sent instructions to His children-His chosen people
For their own good
 Yet their poor choices led to heart breaking consequences
Too often

That has described me too
So now
One of my life’s goals is to shorten the distance between what God asks of me
My actual doing it

God’s first counsel here is: Listen
Active listening is something we all can practice
By offering a concerted effort to hear what is being communicated
Before adding new thoughts to the conversation

The hearer carefully repeats back what was said
Try it
What I heard you say is…
Active listening allows the speaker to restate their part
 
If not yet fully understood 
While offering the receiver a chance to get it right

Dark Ivory Tower

Hey Academic,
throw me some facts
Explain to me clearly
each thought you attack

Dear Intellectual,
restate and rephrase
Your version of truth,
empty words in the fray

Hello Professor,
is the poison pill done
Refilled with your venom
to spread to the young

And lastly the Critic
who stands by the wall,
Humpty Dumpty awaiting
your push to then fall

While open minds sit
in the cold and the rain,
Your cowardly torrents
bring nothing but pain

To all those so cloistered,
divorced from what’s real
Perdition your tenure
—inflamed to repeal

A Future Heaven Loaned

The only way to cross eternity
is in a poem

As words fly silent and words fly deep,
beyond a future heaven loaned

The light speed meteor trails forever
the verses timeless wake

Distance not measured in miles or years
—epic ballads to restate

Gemoirs

Memories often come to mind
     through anything that we may find
perhaps, collected in a box
          stowed away as time tick tocks

A jewelry box to be exact
              is what exemplifies this fact
and as I muse in reverie
        I see how much it means to me

A tiny , simple band of gold
     bestowed when I was one year old
enclosed in my first birthday card
   still lovely now, though a bit scarred

My first initial ring is there
            on Onyx, Silver has such flair
the perfect thing I speculate
       for any well dressed boy of eight

And then for graduation day
         a lovely diamond came my way
it sparkled so to maximize 
 the gleam of pride in grandma’s eyes

I”ll not forget that Tiger’s Eye
     a Christmas gift, the last goodbye
For grandma left us all that year
              a sad reminder resting here

So many gems commemorate 
          the years of love that I restate
they shine as if to speak to me
                    reflections of my history

The box is full of thoughts renewed
                but mostly full of gratitude 
with one to add when I retire 
          I think I’ll buy a Star Sapphire

Unscented Flowers

Interesting talk
Restate again and again
It's okay to hear 
 
Rise many issues
Forecasting hundred matters
But nothing realized
 
Fascinating tone
Wish to see the rain from clouds
But the ground stills dry  

Appealing slogans 
People notice and witness
Such a fun talk show  
 
Colorful flowers
Viewers take a deep inhale
The unscented outcome

This Year

This is year I shall have love divine
My heart from sin will be set free
I will abolish vices especially wine
My heart I shall only offer it to she
The wife, who gave me children one two three.

Human hearts cleave so quickly
Their spirit longs with ardent hate
Jealousy and spite lies thickly
This year I hope they become straight
The heart full of love they must restate.

This year we shall hear God’s true voice
Concentrate and listen all shall be revealed
Love thy neighbour and you shall rejoice
No more killings in the street in the field
Like Christ on the cross you will be healed.

Inside

The façade of a deeply thought out
reply
and crafted remembrance,
seems to have invited a
shuddersome crush inside of me
Only indulges the edges of
my wayward memories,
best left behind
The rest stays inside
where swirls of rested reviews
restart my innocence anew,
and calls your name
…as if I’ve never known

A gamely consideration…
cast this side of love
measures and invites
my neglected best
to create a new pattern of trust…
that I simply cannot fathom

For us to see inside
and drive a lasting vow
requires of me to tie a new bow
inside out
Restate your questions
before they’re known
Reply to ponderances that
you may ask
And look inside
before I lose myself to answers
that you wouldn’t pose
 
Shine the beads that lose their
spark inside your shadow
And soundly stack the shiny
beads
Till they only beam inside
of me

Fate

Life right now is a sorry state
But at times its been great
I'd be okay except for Fate
Upon my nerves she does grate

Don't like her but I wouldn't sat hate
If I do she'll add more freight
Trust me boys, no good blind date
If I say more she'll be irate

Out the door running late
The car I drive it's a crate
Hope it starts without debate
I'll be lucky if it goes straight

Down the road at a terrible rate
Missing a kid, a car, a gate
Don't slow down I will tailgate
Cop on my tail my plans deflate

Steps from his car at six-foot-eight
Badge on his chest shining gold plate
Walking up with his steady gate
Thank you sir here's your court date

 Before the courtroom I'm prostrate
Judge got mad chopped me as bait
Now stuck in jail, thought I'd skate
Ten more days until I pass that gate

One more time I will restate
Understand I won't translate
No matter what you think of Fate
You don't want her for your soulmate

Stacked Rhyme: Try To Create a Stacked Rhyme

Try to create a stacked rhyme;
My new elate! Play whacked chimes
High. Few relate! Days lacked time's
Eyes too. Restate ways facts climb.
Guys, who debate paid back dimes,
Buy dues we hate. Stay! Track crimes
By clues. See fate lay tact primes.

Can I Be?

I want to be open enough 
To receive all that you have to offer 
To make love to your entire being 
Until even your soul is like 
A molten ball of euphoric flesh 
Mixing every flavor of you 
Savoring your essence 
Leaving an aroma akin to worship 
Even creation pays attention 
FEAR – false evidence appearing real 
I recite it over and over 
Mentally feeling my past hurt 
Disappointment, mistrust 
Stabbing at my present 
Longing for your touch 
Craving your kisses 
Pushing the idea of your femininity 
Wrapped around my masculinity 
Back into Pandora’s Box 
“Don’t think that! Don’t be in a hurry!” 
The Rules of Love twist and turn in my head! 
Repeat Replay Rephrase Restate 
Why is love always a GAME? 
Why can’t I just be who I am? 
Eager to love 
Eager to please 
Venereal, erotic, funny, passionate 
Easily read, easily attached 
Easy to love, spoiled to the core 
Maybe...I’m just in love with the idea of being in love?

Destroy Your Soul, Kill An Enemy, I Congradulate You On Your Damnation!

Who's the one you hate, With all your heart
Want to see Him/Her Drop dead? Would you give your soul?
Anynight, 12:00 to 3:00 A.M., Consult your demons...
On paper w/ Red Sharpie draw a pentagon, leaev a smoke trail.

Want to kill an Enemy would you sell your soul?
Gather Negitive Energy, Gather the Forgotten Horrors
Simple direction, Just restate the resurection
Pray your hardest, mean it deeply and true...

"Oh Satan My Lord, Please destroy my soul....
Destroy any and any chance of light from my life!"
Repeat if nessasary... Pray your leigon hard and true....
Keep your head down, Ignore the crashing, Don't Look in the Mirror.

His Voice is strong, but don't be scared....
Don't look in the mirror, Disrespect isn't taken kindly..
Would you destroy your soul, TO Destroy an Enemy?
Say the name of the victim six times, after the "events" happen/

Remember, Respect, Dont look into the mirrors...
