You pushed me over the cliff’s edge,
eager to watch me fall.
Instead I flew
and you
were never filled
with such regret.

dim sun searching for a smile
cold wind biting cheeks

Captain America
And Independence Day
And in the fall/winter
Star wars
And in the
Dredges of winter

The fabric has torn
all beds are unmade
The sheets have been soiled,
—the bugs to invade
(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2017)
i knew the tears would come
didn't know exactly when
it happened when I saw the american flag
flopping flaccidly in the hate filled wind

arise, stir the sediment
renew faded dreams

Again has come Valentine's Day,
To all my loves I have to say
Thanks for all you add to life,
From Daughters, Brothers, & Sisters & Wife.
To that add the Grandkids Three
And may all our Hearts be free.
Allow this
let this
be this...
...then
well, then
this'll be that
which then'll be
a new this.
just this
allow
be
breathe
see
just this

cache extra cuteness
courting field of coneflowers
purple purity
cute as button upturned smile
stirs boy’s long hair and wild grass

How have
you been
I have
traveled
for miles
just to
meet you
and then
I have to
move on
to meet
my new
friends
2017
And more
are waitiing
for me
at the bend
And
I'm planning
to meet them
before
this life
ends

take one
Winds merry-go-round
chasing the dreams of clouds
stirring the pot

Winds merry-go-round
chasing the dreams of clouds

The men are not made by war,
But our Kingdom is always tore.
Why must we always hate?
Can we not have a different fate?
Revolution of the young,
Will bring about change - sure to come.
O where is the next silver tongue?
When they be found beat the drum-
Philip Sembert II
It is so sad that many a young ones has to go
Reminding us so much of our ancient pasts
Emigrating to build a better future themselves
Leaving behind those whom they love for now
Accepting they don't know how the future fare
Never a day goes without them in our thought
Days are hard without them being near to us

Petty soon I will be year 2016
New poem total will be 2016
Which all of them were written
While I was thinking and sitting.
If record I were to really set
For my poems will be a big debt
And what up to am I leading

For free you can be reading.
there are no heroes anymore,
no one with that dream.
it has become a weapon
that kills when charisma ends.
there are no malcolm x's,
for we have found ourselves.
no johns or roberts to kill,
no kings to praise.
where are the people
in a world that sees no wrong,
in a candidate opening pandora's box,
to win his throne?
The clock strikes twelve
We all shout our wishes
For a Happy New Year
With no more hurting issues
The time has come to wish all well
Happiness lurks in the sound of the bell
2016 has finally come
With whistles and horns and the sound of a drum
We have a new year
To let everyone know
The feelings we have
That we never show
