Stone for stone, this raised grandeur
With the mountain's contends.
Beauty, austere. With both hiding
Terror's own face within!
One's stormy past of fierce-struck
Outcries, most barbarous
Wolf-sharp, flashingly echoed
Afar stormed; elked and roed.
Blossoming
flowers
growth.
Growth
contends and assures
life.
Life
via water and sun is
nurtured.
Orchard
acts
likewise.
Allies
like forests and all living
things.
Things
that nature supports like other
species.
Entities
from sea and land, like a woman and
man.
Human
life, like all others, is blessed with its
beginning.
Entered in “relevance”
Exit by consequence….
To the measure of temporary.. and unequal flaws,
While passions “unknown” court an unseizeable throne,
Ignite the cerebral and insight in emerging stages,
As the “wise” of life contends and contests,
Amid turbulent changes and far ranging rage!
On such signs ends an age...

Magdalena,
your beauty known
Magdalena,
your wisdom shown
Magdalena,
firm and steadfast
Magdalena,
communed repast
Magdalena,
so loved a man
Magdalena,
his blood in hand
Magdalena,
though history scolds
Magdalena,
your heart withholds
Magdalena,
much more than friend
Magdalena,
—the truth contends
(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2019)
Definitions strain contends defensively
no obligation of restraint ~ creativity
lures its object, beauty, to the mind
and leaves insipidness behind, behind!
Nor desecrate as if alone
reactions tempered my unknown,
insolvent only as to loan
does liquify its purpose own!
Then dissipates as if my prone
were self existing, ne'er by sown ~
To live my art, I must condone
needs deprivation . . . for my poem!

Cape Cod Boy
A warring feat
expands beneath
petite and huge contends,
a unique line
tugging the brine
taunting as it suspends,
a juvenile
bear naught a smile
a glimpse enigma lends,
too close to shore
new hopes implore
that cod and haddock wends,
true tasty meats
fresh scene unseats
entreaties pleased extends,
aspect well made
fulfilled persuade
the wait, the catch godsends.
The law authorities apprehended a man named Antonio.
I have never met him before as he is someone I don't know.
He contends that a while ago, he gave me some money.
Now he wants it back to pay for bail that would set him free.
Antonio kept calling me "Sebastian"; this seemed like an oddity.
This action suddenly got my mind to be thinking.
Is it possible my brother survived the ship sinking?
Based on the play "Twelfth Night" by William Shakespeare.
The Peacemaker
Your innocent eyes
Mask the wisdom behind them
Sweet tenderness
Layered by bricks
You never falter
Your longing heart
Contends with a bridled spirit
Innocent dreams
Thickened by fog
You never know freedom
Your never-ending patience
Shields the frustration within
Calm acceptance
Surrounded by thorns
You never judge
Your unfailing kindness
Cascades over rocks and stones
Pure loyalty
Encompassed by bitter truth
You never forsake us
