the coffers beneath my eyes,
so obscure yet dignified,
treasure the facet 
to me most dearest.
this devouring dejection 
that is, Our esse....

The anti-Darwinian portal
Pass through and your soul's immortal
This fills church coffers
Without refund offers
And that's why priests seem to chortle...

My name is The Law.
My face is stern
Toward transgressors,
But I can use
The fines they pay
Dropping into the coffers!

She just has a little cough cousin says.
I think Covid19 will make you dead.
Come over she offers
I think of the coffers.
Elect to stay sheltered in place, instead....

Coffers by alliances emptied out
By the same abandoned, security failing
Surprised by nature and by man
Falling Eagle will be caught by Bear

The first son inherited by right
The second,off with his king to fight;
Ab third in a rectory might dwell
The youngest was to marr well..
Family coffers...more to swell....

Sumptuous sensual satin surroundings
Treasured plush, palatial, plushy pillows
Upholstered sofas, tasseled tapestries
Valued prized spoils of war
Wealthy coffers of the lucky highborn

Crimson king of freedom
Wise men, fill your coffers with gold
Decorate your crucifixion with diamonds
The sight of sacrifice ordained with sin
Vanity raging rampant

Mad money grubber
Immersed in the throes of a
Skinflint Scrooge syndrome… 
Enriching coffers, and yet
Renouncing to joys of life

Like a buccaneer
Sailing the Spanish main
The vivacious creature
Swept into my life 
And like a pirate
Went for my treasure trove
Pillaging my heart
And stealing it away
Leaving my soul in chains
And my coffers empty...

sun dances on waves // a million gold coins spilling, to fill joy's coffers

It's my prerogative
to be pejorative.
Crass, grumpy,
and boorish to boot.
Like me, or despise me.
I don't really care.
I'll die.
None will cry.
My coffers they'll loot.
Take what they wish.
Every last dish.
Until there's nothing left, 
but the bones....

~     Moonlit caps shimmer,


                            crests spilling silver doubloons ...


                  Neptune's coffers, full.     ~

I would like to think that tomorrow 
will dawn with brilliant possibility.
Fortune has been hiding.  Perhaps, just
perhaps,it will be stopping by.
My coffers are empty..not of lucre
but of hope, of newness...of words.
Soft . so soft the whisper in my ear...
"Tomorrow is just a repeat of today"....

Four from India
coffers filled
with cobwebs
dusty jargon
of their own
wept assunder
by your glances
lost disciples
driven snowflakes
of the 
full grown moon
you taught to dance
once so fluent
by the fireside
flaunting heavens
innocence
love itself will not
commit you to the
desert laureates...

Blue stays true
to our sad hue
while yellow
hangs mellow
in view.

What Gore must ignore
shall store wealth galore
in coffers he proffers
behind trade offers
to floor our soar,

but paying for air
surely isn't fair
if we are free
to see their decree
rare as a scare

to fuel millionaires
keen on green....

 trash
                putrid, unwanted
         wasting, littering, disposing, 
 pickups, accumulations, wealth, coffers
        admiring, cherishing, adoring
                valuable, precious
                       treasure

Sheiks and Sultans kingdom's revolt
Citizens ire and fervour a shocking jolt
Unleashing coffers, promising change they molt
While cleansing their streets with rifle and Colt

Western pots fizzle and stew
Chafing but swallowing the spicy brew
Heartburn follows; the potion they slowly chew
The side effects their sensitive systems do rue...

 UNSUPPORTED CODE RELICS OF GRACE

to have been on this
planet prolonged time
and still discern naught,
distinguish… all the pain,
the ebb of dirt, and the
coffers stronghold pull;
observe no grace relics
of buoyant youth;
where perchance all that
now is fungal was filled with
hopeful hues of honey

fleeting paths of resistance 
have stood guard for far too long 
  
be held tonight 
inside 
the coffers of my weave 
  
gently peel back the lesions 
bade down upon my need 
  
enter my lair 
and entangle in me 
let loose your ribbons   
to the sea   
  
crest each wave 
with fortitude 
encased in a lost embrace...

Who would not desire coffers of gold,
  
Own sapphires and diamonds to wear on a ring.

Have emeralds and rubies and lustrous white pearls

For the pleasure of owning beautiful things.

But gemstones and gold mean nothing to me

For that which I treasure dims all the above,

Richer am I, than any man living

For who could be richer, than he who has love....

Avariciousness of King William B was weird
The restlessness of his marauders feared
His greediness was well-known in his day
Many were dead, so he could collect right away

His coffers were filled up by the blood of others
Corpses on the fields were many fathers and brothers
William’s disregard for the masses and cupidity
Were rivaled by his lack of empathy and stupidity...

On yonder strand
In bridled land
A motley band
With vigor fanned
Across hill, lowland
With self righteous brand
Seeking brigand contraband
From each licentious hand
To forthrightly remand
Every highway spanned
Tolls, tribute to demand
Each pilfering cleric did reprimand
Then every bloated collection was 
panned
Every royal vestige scanned
Gratuitous coffers to expand...

Listen to poem:

when clouds seem at their gloomiest
and your spirits are down and under
let me be the one; the one
to bring back the smile to your face
and the serenity to your heart

i'll do my best to put that ray of sunshine
in your morning coffee cup
and fill your coffers with tons of tokens
of dazzling hope for all the joy to come
