Short Collaborators Poems

Father Christ called apostles
Be His collaborators
They were His eye witnesses
Apostles are priests and teachers

Holds fast their tradition
Governed by their successors
Successor was first pope, St. Peter
To now 2013, Pope Francis,

slowly crept the familiar warmth of fetid fallacy
a tidal wave of stealthy lies
oozing its vile variations of truthfulness
immobilizing the wit and wisdom of intelligence

silencing within a dismal darkness 
all resistance to its expanding greed
pandering to the pathetic pathos
of crumb collecting collaborators

My hearts been saved, a lovely end
Hats off to you my merry friend
Your ears and shoulders are now full
You warm my soul like fresh spun wool
I see your smile and feel your hand
My life with you is never bland
You are my life, let’s never part
I love you friend with all my heart

Mate




Vir and famina partners in time,
Evolving together as surf and sand.
Distinctive styles, views, merits,
They compliment each other.

Lifetime collaborators bound as one,
Enduring life's struggles and accomplishments.
Withstanding the face of difficulties and difference,
Learning, loving, together.

Recognizably exceptional as snowflakes,
Mars and Venus embrace their universe as partners.
They may not see eye to eye,
Yet walk strongly and united hand in hand....
