Listen to poem:

tic toc
the ticking 
of the clock

steel blue
resounding
thru and thru

roll call
the long walk
down the hall

white coats
dispensing
antidotes

I am the god of mercy, grace, pleasance presence.
I am here under your cloak, under your antidotes.
I am the god of mercy.
The one in the sand between your toes
and the salt on your lips.
I am the god of mercy showing you things
 you may not want to see but 

must transcend.
I am the god of mercy answering all your prayers
under my sun...

Listen to poem:

On the Other Side
David J Walker

Incantations dealt
Beneath a silent breath

Claiming life
	Dealing death

Subscribe to unseen 
Magazines

Opened only at the first 
Stroke of Wednesdays midnight

Antidotes offered at
First light

Work on faith and faith alone
Tell me when we are home

And I will open my eyes again
On the other side...

Fades strong air away
Nose counts memories
It's an ice-cream sundae
Normally full of calories
Hope that's hiding itself
Resistance of sorrows
Woos that very thief
Clinging new morrows.
Virus that itself clones
Loves its own antidotes.
Melody of seven strings
Just a joining of rings.
A broken sole fellow
Searches for the hollow
Touching every wounds
Those are not healing 
That desired sounds
Me nd you counting
Feeling of togetherness
In eternity encompasses....

Scattered, or joined
                 maddened by
                 pandemic...
                 Introverts,
                 suffocated and
                 masked ...
                 We experience
                 our paralyzers
                 neurosis...
                 Without antidotes
                 without shelters ...
                 only poetry comforts us
                 as in hypnosis
                with body and soul
                 in symbiosis ... ......

                 stragglers,

                 introverts,

                 no shelters...
                 only poetry in us
                 comforts like hypnosis
                 the body and soul
                 in symbiosis......

A word in phrase has laid him low

From Milton, Keats, and Longfellow

He tried alas to make a stand 

Upon this shore, a foreign land

He fired back a thousand quotes 

With soliloquies and antidotes 

But the fight had wore him thin

Becoming clear he could not win

And as he laid his body down

Among dead words all scattered round

His eyes then, skyward looked

As he clutch His precious book.

And the Saints who saw his smile

Sent to retrive him, Oscar Wilde...
