It is through inner silence, not noise,where chimed joy of Being resides.

My mom -- Let's see --
  How old would she be...

She'd be 39 again, I guess
  Though to you I confess

She's been 39 more times
  Than any clock's every chimed...

My parchment soul song 
Bells bloom from Angel’s pearl wings 
Gardens bow with grace
My heart rings with fire love
Notes lock in legacy Lord

Almost eighty-three and can't remember a time
When peace ruled the Earth when freedom bells chimed
Got ten years or so
Remaining but whoa
The odds are not promising for a different paradigm...

Plump went with Pulchritude
  to try on a dress
The tears in her eyes
  bespoke Plump's distress

Pleasing put in a good word
  Pleasant chimed in too
But all was in vain
            ~ as Pulchritude knew...

Twits
Hanging
Inverted, dumb
listen in, ease dropping.
Chime in with rude chirps when prompted
With presumed relevant authority
Unwelcome interruption peals
Clangers
Rung

Eighty years old and can't remember a time
When peace ruled the Earth and freedom bells chimed
Maybe 10 years or so
Remaining but whoa
The odds are not promising for a different paradigm

I sat under a tree
   in a garden by the sea
Follow me
   said the bumblebee
I can fly
   cried the butterfly
Come visit me
    chimed in both the lily
         and the pansy

A foxy dame passed through a diner
with auburn locks bouncing here and there.
    Dude sighed, “ take the best wine
    but tonight you’re all mine;
chimed she,” hike off; I’m this bar’s owner.”

Bells
are heard
peals, loud and clear
clangs from the church tower
welcome friends to assemble here
for a wedding to take place on the hour
tolls after the vows were spoken
chimes of
joy

How many times can one stare
at the cell, hoping to induce a call?
She promised she’d ring later, but
it hasn’t chimed its siren song,
and I wait here in the dark, melting
into the couch, the stone-cold cipher
a mute testimony to indifference
and a lonely heart....

There was a cute young man
where I worked
Who was buying his
fishing license
And I 
so matter o factly 
asked him if he wanted
his tramp stamp with that
He quickly chimed in
Let's see
I am going camping
and if I catch a tramp
without the stamp
is the DNR 
gonna fine me??...

The article was written
All the critics had chimed in
Not what they had expected
Each one having their own spin

Words taken out of context
Knowing not what they had meant
Accusations unfounded
Hurting wasn't his intent

Apologies to all
Harm wasn't meant
His heart it is breaking
To all he repents...

"Isn’t she a bit odd?" a PTA lady asked me.
I did not know what to say.

She was my cousin, so not odd to me.
The others fell silent.

"I think she came to one of our meetings, " one said.
"I remember that,"  another chimed in. "She didn’t fit in so well."

Probably because you were so welcoming, I thought....

i knelt for his scythe
much to his surprise
bowed my head
nothing said
why don't you beg
his boney teeth sprayed
all fear
when i am near
answer me
i was made to die
now tell me that i lie
raise your eyes to mine
he chimed
head still bowed
just do it i growled
but don't miss
or your name
will make my list...

The cardinal saw the rose
 puff in rosy self praise and pride
It chimed beating its own drums
exultant about its beauty
The cardinal retorted 
Hey, don't blush in vain 
just hush and shush with that vanity 
for I'm just as ruddy red.
Besides I can fly
with my head held high 
The rose never nodded
The cardinal waited for no reply....

In a given day fluctuation chimed 
       drift its space aside of  well-known curve

Surge its ascend as glimpse in twig 
      tail of stars born from ashes sweep

Wipe sparkle in hole maybe illusion in distance
        ascend its glimpse magnet dusty reveal

Loose being state escapes its faithful hood
             crush in pieces vanish in cosmetic...

He took her to a restaurant,
And after that, a play;
A moonlit walk as midnight chimed -
It brought a special day.

They had been married thirty years;
He chose the gifts with care:
Some ear rings and a string of pearls,
And lilies for her hair.

Their hotel wasn’t far away;
What happened next I can not say…

‘ ‘’’’’’’’’      ‘    ‘


In the middle of honeyed cuddling

He whispered a girl’s name while swooning

Through excuses he denied

A final “goodbye” I chimed

While stars set course for true love waiting

I want ice cream cone shoes
You mean like Neapolitan ice cream?
No, I mean like turquoise ice cream.
The color of Daddy’s 1957 Chevy.

But ice cream cones shoes have not been invented yet.
Neither has turquoise ice cream, grandma chimed in.
Then I will invent them, the optimistic girl said.
It took her fifty years, but she created ice cream shoes.
They were turquoise, and they were a hit!...

the happy state, ignoring to flucuate,
the quick fix-it mentality to abbreviate,
in busyness cannot stop,
to take the time to sit down and talk,
with rushed assumptions, turning backs,
wow, ain't nobody got time for that?,
confined in mime, still standing in line,
the comfort of conformity in the song that's chimed,
would you move if it meant to step out of line?,
to prevent yourself from being paralzed?...

There is a soft sound like a silken melody,
So angelic it belies the outside world.
An open fire, crackling with heat;
Set shadowed forms dancing on the walls;
And gave the ballerina on the Christmas tree,
A sense of life and a sense of gaiety.
A fat cat curled on a velvet rug,
Was still purring from a caress a hour ago,
As the big clock chimed to the stroke of time,
Attune to winds threatening at the door....

Are these really victimless
Crimes if no one knows the 
Exact number of times my
Phrases rang mental door
Chimed in feelings one
Verse of rhymed wielding
Theses rhymed dealings 
Create irreversible feelings
Satanic following me into
My hellish verses words
Spinning an evil hex
Casting charming verses
The real intent played 
Subliminally in reverse
Is this really lust
Or love lustfully born

I'm writing wrongs...

Trish Lee was un- apologetically,
 absolutely, completely,
 foundationally, right most of the time.

She was basically,
categorically, mathematically,
able to tell time because her cuckoo clock chimed.


Hypothetically, analytically, 
metaphorically, she understood the cuckoo clock 
better than most.

Because scientifically,
 comprehensively, she could shift-change
 and enter the clock like a small wispy ghost....
