was an emperor named Honorius.
Though Rome's plight was alarming
he spent his time chicken farming,

Be careful when you follow the masses
The “M” can be silent, but you take your chances
A clever wee bloke
Strange facts I evoke
Even experienced within the sexual annals...

Dusty trails leading to nowhere
Through the annals of a wasted life
Bring to mind the cold vacant stare
Of poverty, want, and nagging strife.

In the annals of Rock History
  The Beatles' pedigree --
    Their decree
       Let it Be

While the Stones
   Are Rolling
   Right off the track
   They made the choice
     To paint it black...

Great work by hands
Walks the annals of history:
Painting, sculpture, writing 
Carving, masonry, pottery 
Jewelry, carpentry and others
Passed the test of time
Nothing is more beautiful 
Than things made by our own hands....

When mind-blowing poverty is rife, 
People no longer have reason to care
Or rise above self-perpetuating strife,
Dusty trails often lead to nowhere
Through the annals of a wasted life.

A treasure trove of history contained in the walls
A collection of man's endeavors throughout life's squalls
Celebrating ancient battles
Throughout history's annals
A journey through man's evolution, through strife and wars...

greater horror tale
may not be found in
tomes of fractured minds
as bloodied annals
of our history

Is human flesh
fully worthless
that on command
it's turned to dust

hopes and dreams
squelched midst screams
for glory

thus is
spoils of

war

The technological era we live in

As

The "Blasphemous One" will be recorded in the annals

Of human history

Because Man,

Instead of acting as the custodian of life on earth that

God intended him to be,

Unwisely, 

Was transformed into life's merciless annihilator!

How swiftly the seasons change
Years like rivers flow unencumbered
Towards eternity’s vast and opened arms
And engulfed are these compelling streams
Forever to recline in the annals of time

Autumn’s leaves of burnt orange and red
Now lay beneath purest first snow
And merge with the color of earth
As silence hovers amidst brisk air
Nature, worn and weary, slumbers

rare birds in 
view 
    amongst the reeds 
a site which onlookers 
have waited 
   long to see
It will be noted 
    in their annals 
a dream come true 
     for some 
Don't be put off 
   by the difficulties
   the bird takes flight 
and it's soon out of sight 
Yesterday a memory 
  Tomorrow a wispy cloud of hope 
Such as seldom 
    seen in this land
Take note of it before 
  it disappears into the mist...

I hope to grace this page today 
With  musings from my soul
And write between the lines
The greatest story every told
In trails of crimson etchings 
Bleeding from an open heart
As line by line  my inhibitions
Simply fall apart

A spirit free from earthly bonds
Oblivious to  time
Whilst drifting through the annals
Of something so sublime
As daylight turns again to night
To break another dawn
As I and my muse 
Write... on and on and on...

The wispy trees roll by
row by row.
The gentle breeze of the air conditioning 
brushes against my cheeks
In the bright blue sky swallows sing freely

A meadow lies in peace.
Pure and holy.
Beautiful beyond belief
only nature can nurture such peace
away from our motions of metal.

But as they become increasingly distant
lost in the annals of time; not even a flower shall remain.
With only one goal in mind.
We look onward into the future....

When love came, it came so fast.
Was I mature enough to decide?
I hadn’t annals from my past.

Friends said my time I should bide.
I believed I knew what I wanted.
I wanted to be your bride.

By their doubts I was daunted.
How could they know much better than I?
By my doubts I was haunted.

What to do, I voiced a sigh.
Follow my true heart was the reply.
I couldn’t bear to say goodbye.

After all these years I can say
I have no regrets of my choice that day....

Slaying selflessly at the warfront's edge,  
Guarding the land with an indomitable pledge.

Faces etched with patience and pride,  
Military spouses and children brave the tide.

Salute to the matriarch that cradles our fighters,
Teary farewells rest on their shoulders. 

Immortal spirits slumber in their graves,
Back to the ancestral womb where tribute paves. 

Their unyielding valor marks the annals of time,  
Inspiring future generations with courage sublime....

Do annals violate incarnate divinity?
Justifying a man’s inner repentance,
Wisdom cannot cry from lips of insincerity,
Yet what a sham, becomes this penance,
If temple anointing flows through dross,
And faithless arms is moved by pulse,
Then what O man is the message of the cross?
As madness reigns within these skulls.
A separation of ties from mindless covenants,
Blatant words from a broken heart,
And bloodline flow those whispering seductions,
To cut deep, to shed, to tear apart....
