         We chose
         heroes

         based on
         sheer brawn

         but now
         avowed ~

         brains too
         rescue

As her own rare find, now seen
Of your avowed 'queen'
You'll need to protect it more
This your own person.

As some costly made sculpture
Likely to fracture
Safe wrap it, in sending out
To where days rage on....

Its special indifference
and weathering smile,
reminds every passer
 —its strength and its guile

It stands in the desert
alone and unbowed,
to flower in protest
—its nature avowed

The Hound dissed the Princess,
With a dour scowl.
He hid his little mistress,
Quickly to be avowed.
The inquest was listless,
with nothing much found.
Now the Bonnie Prince,
will wear a Kings Crown.

All power in the caliber,
not the number or the count

Its penetration deeper,
when focused and avowed

The wound well placed is mortal,
its shot not heard till then

But a gun’s not half as lethal
 —as what’s fired from your pen

(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2017)...

Apart from you I'am nothing but at the helm of catastrophe; wayward, in a clouded storm that's avowed to sojourn the opaque sea robed in the disregard that drowns in its tumultuous waters, where many have sank in its despairing courtesy, despite its many warnings.

The leaves are falling,
birds in song

Memory lingers,
tomorrow gone

A promise spoken,
solemn vow

The present honored,
faith avowed

Years enlighten,
age sets in

Youth remembered,
deep within

Gates now beckon,
pearl’s endear

Hearts unburdened
—time is near

“Today we will practice
medicine and cure the flu.”
The clown announced it twice,
just as a fun thing to do.

He went into the laughing crowd,
and found an unhealthy fellow.
Took him by his hand and avowed,
“By humor, health will grow!”

The clown was right, although,
the ill man was embarrassed.
But they all took their bow,
after his cough was suppressed....

The leaves have fallen,
  the birds did sing

Memory lingers,
  tomorrow brings

A promise spoken,
  a solemn vow

The present honored,
 —all faith avowed

The years enlighten,
  as age sets in

While youth remembered,
   still burns within

The gates now beckon,
  their pearl’s endear

My heart unburdened,
 —the time is near

So soothing,
     relieving and
     relaxing
During evening
And dusk in walking
Near the bay and in the shoreline.

I am happy you are with me
Together we walk holding hands
In sweet reverie
We sat on a cut trunk of a tree.

Talking and murmuring
Sometimes kissing
Those words expressing 
Our faith in avowed devotion.

And as we continue 
More than our promises
Muttering a gospel of love
On this promenade....

"One" kiss
so fervent
surely the

universe
shook-
Aroused

as
sexual pleasures
of man, woman,

scents - touch,
elevate to ecstacy -
Comparable 

to none!
Like stars
fall from sky

ignites into
atoms-a-flame!
One-time

passion
avowed
Ne'er

to unveil -
tete-a-tete
contained

within ones
heart -
Nevermore

to be
savored
Like

taste
of caviar - 
lingers forevermore -

that "One" kiss!...

The one who fails.
I who falls.
The one that bails, within my walls.

You tell me when. 
I turn away. 
Search within, delay my way.

Cut off my yoke.
I stand in wait.
Another loke, always my fate.

I bend the knee.
I cry aloud. 
My demons flee, I've been avowed.

I see my Lord.
He is my bread. 
I've been restored, by He who bled.

He bear the cross.
I bear no shame. 
No longer a loss, I bear His name.

Two halves of imperfection--
kaleidoscope emotions and traits
fractured and tumbled as
sea glass on the shore--
amalgamated into symmetry
by the Master’s hands 
with the pulchritude of stained glass.
A perfection of cohesiveness 
despite the flawed edges, cracks,
and inelegance of life.
The cohesive nexus of family,
sustained through inadequacies, and deficiencies,
avowed by the broken that fit
according to His plan
in a splendor of imperfect completeness....
