Listen to poem:

sublime hood-winker 
such a master of the con
the press tags along
faked rebellion builds up strength
to allay a real one...

she walks and talks
about this and that
she is a rat
run likes a cat
but loves to chat
hang out no doubt
in the back allay
oh
BIG MOUTH SALLY...

My first time here
Feeling Queer
Perhaps a beer
Will allay the fear
If I see her appear
Will she be my dear
And hold me near
Or disappear...

Cover me please,
with reverent grace
at others’ losses
and allay their pain as well.

I am not the only one.

Eighty-one years old and still going strong
Like I'll live forever, now I know that's wrong
Just twenty more years
Would allay all my fears
Hope P-Soup will remember me after I'm gone...

Like I'll live forever, now I know that's wrong

Hope P-Soup will remember me after I'm gone...

Stones of shape
inscribed with adages
and memories of lives spent.

Sinking lawn
mossy earth surrounding
damp and concave they allay forever.

Dark and deserted
ceasing age they linger
no one concerns to bother anymore....

Quatrain #358:
BUZZ


Bestow each day the certain fate,
Use well fine say to fill this date;
Zest can allay jest without fear,
Zoom then high quest but purge all hate.

     When his end’s very near
        on this earth he holds dear
     For what do his loved ones pray

     Do they try to allay
        the pain that holds sway
     Or do they wish for release
        ~ all suffering cease

To you I profess care,
True or untrue rests in you fair,
What runs inside you I know not rare?
But surely did not come in a moment thread-bare.
At and all times like this,
To allay all shackles,
That, with hope, does not express by pyre....

Save me from the dark:
Make me like a lark,
Show me what is fair
To allay my care!

Take me from the deep:
Show me how to keep
All I have on earth
Fit for my rebirth!

I want you more than you can know
Passion for you in me so
Why must we wait until someday?
Desire wants not to allay
I long to hold you close to me
Experience you with jubilee 
To clutch each other recklessly
Then caress each other lovingly...

They say that history repeats
  and that's a depressing beat
Is there any means to allay
  the inevitable from coming our way

Methinks there is a way out --
  History needs be relived, not 'taught'
Experience the actual event
  ~ You may just want to repent...

don't scare me with darkness
night is my only allay on remaining date
with her, no stars, no moon, no bonfire or one flicker of a candle flame
I am fearless

not my mistake anymore
once I am being mute and deaf to your seduction
your sharp stare itself
melting your wax mask...

The heat is soaring;
No breeze to allay;
Little puff clouds drifting,
Magnolia leaves falling,
No moisture in sight,
A twig lay on the bannister,
Or that’s what it tries to be,
It is a long camouflaged insect
Yearning to be free.

Fly away, twigged bug, 
And message the clouds to rain....

I will not beseech you
stop stuffing yourself near to exploding
even though I feel a need to
take the sunflowers, blossoms eroding
heads bowed in solemn, silent foreboding
save the seeds
ignore the needs 
of one so wild
and bold as he feeds
to allay the memory of freeze on this August day so mild...

Winds allay into an easing breeze
Befriending with earlies eve

This soothing shade
That mends the healing soul,
The light of darkness
A childs un-crying

To all the astray and unattended,
To all the guarded and befriended,
A gesture is given;
Not unlike the softness
Within the evenings breeze...

He wore a mask that smiled all day
With eyes of glass and lips of stone.
His longing heart could not outweigh
The mask he wore that smiled all day.


And death meant peace and would allay,
The endless hours he lived -- alone.
He wore a mask that smiled all day,
With eyes of glass and lips of stone....

Another desolate day
the sun has dipped his face 
No longer will I have to pretend

My mind is astray
lost in a shadowed place
darkness has become my friend

Unable to convey
what I should erase
this heartache I cannot mend

How can I allay
the pains I embrace
when fear forces me to descend...

Conscience our lifeline upon earth 
Gods voice within our heart
Surrender now, knowing it’s worth
Add dear soul, joy to cart

Tranquil stillness holds sway
Sea of calm, night and day
Bliss all fears, does allay

With love throb align
Conscience our lifeline

I can't show you the way
   It's not for me to say
There is more than one way
   For you to pass the day

I hear what you say
   But my fears please allay
Quickly, don't delay
   Show me the way

Alright.  The way is to pray
   For God's mercy every day
No games to play, no fees to pay
   Just bow your head and pray...

I could not find 
A refuge to dissipate 
Anything to comfort my mind, 
Dreams only anticipate 
Which does not exist in humankind, 
The pain does not subside 
It's forever in the mind 
Eternally will it reside, 
Fading, wasting away, 
To who can I confide 
The anguish of today 
Of all record of my time, 
Then, my soul, could it allay?...
