Dear darling dove--
Dare drinking, dancing
Decisively delaying death's deal......

Thor’s Hammer
Heard Everywhere
Ultra Loud
No One Escapes
Decisively Felt
Eager To Be Heard
Roar Like No Other...

Perpetual delusion, mania ascending threw my mind.

Obtaining peace is inconceivable, constant anguish, dismay.

Shall I be tenacious enough to battle my

addiction, heroin....

To decisively have amity at last???...

Shutting my senses 
Hermetically 
Permanently 
Decisively

for Vanity 
Negativity 
Conceit
Arrogance

Puffiness 
Imagination 
Witticism
Presumption

Crisis 
Judgement 
And while I'm doing this 
I open my senses for love

Raising my mind...

Wind, the Barber,
   shears the trees
   decisively
with naught but
   his own  Fall design
   in mind,
Refusing imaged   glass
   for his reluctant clientele,
insisting    they trust
   his ancient  artistry,
Born of  a driven 
   fate again
   and again.

I'm different, in
private dreams, where there are no
ramifications.

I'm more - adult? I
handle things decisively
- no second guessing.

And I KNOW what I
want - is that because it's all
erased on waking?

Do we practice life,
in our restless dreams - trying
on other selves?...

Iridescent gossamer Dragonfly
Sparkles vividly in a haze of sunlight
Reflecting lucent pools and streams
Dining on frog spider and termite

Colorful transformations glittering
Decisively emerging in lakes or marshes
Zealously protecting her territory
Equilibrium balancing harshness...

Nights torn to shreds
     streams of lava burn my hands
Days tied into Gordian knots
     drops of blood linger in my eyes
A whirlwind of thoughts
     swirls in my mind,
               unable to unravel.
 
Neither I’m able to live lively
    nor able to die decisively.

To give life, and have that life dejected away, within seconds….. Pleading for a precedent, Incapable of escalating.
 Designed second, within spent habits, disqualified from my child. Bitter sentiments of mediocrity and anguish. Powerless to retreat, decisively surrendering. Trusting to lull my droll agony, melancholy. Imploring for my termination....

Why don’t we hastily clean that last room, I hear my traitor side say.
You moron, I’ve already cleaned two inches of kitchen. I need to play.
Now, says the intense voice, unfriendly, and decisively hard.
Forgetting I am no cleaner or cook, now that I am a bard.
Ouch! Yells my right ankle.  Gone is my right foot, thanks to arthritis.
What will you do next to me, voice?  Issue me a bit of bursitis?...

she stalks her prey
a lioness gazes 
presumptuously
searching to unveil 
an unfound weakness
but the prey 
formidable 
a weakness 
he shows not
being aware 
of this stalk
and careful
of each move he makes
but the lioness
is patient up till
the arduous hunt 
ends decisively 
the prey weakened 
lost direction 
the lioness glances 
she turns away 
capture she wants not

Subjective not neglected I am just an old rustic tattered tired soul;
Minted, wounded and bonded and blinded with nowhere place to go;
It’s not to mention whether I am partly adverted decisively divided;
All mine passions passionate has risen and risen helplessly found undecided;

In the distance men at arms
looking to conflict only harm,
What is to be the plight of man?
With the intellect of a woolly ram,
life becoming a complete sham.
Energy etched within the P.C Rom
loving one’s self, blowing one’s horn
this becoming decisively the norm,
so utterly concerned I am
for one’s granddaughter our Sam!


The Title may be slightly ambiguous
but it means,Horsman families concern
for the future.

Panicked tiny footprints, zigzag, sharp;
Each an arrow hungry for direction.
Across them, newer, the fully-fledged
Outlines of boots, strong, deep.

Ahead, the bootprints side by side,
Suddenly, decisively:  imagine the arms.
Further on still, the arrows stagger,
Stop, and fading blood reds the way. 

This is the tale the snow tells,
Along the ugly, thorn-jagged hedge.
Its record is brief, the warmer winds
Of oblivion will sweep in, soon, too soon....

R-un rings around, 
O-vercome the devil decisively; 
S-how marked superiority, 
E-ver strong is the Almighty.
N-o retreat, no surrender, 
D-ay thirty-first of May; 
O-verwhelmingly we'll win over our faith's foe all the way.

G-o run circles around, 
A-bound in hope, love and trust; 
H-ave or possess courage, 
U-ndaunted heart is a
M-ust.

J-ust pray to the Lord God, our enemy we'll dumbfound; 
R-ock, shock and surprise him, let's run rings around....

My country is very strategic in nature
I'm asking for our leaders to act decisively
Make my country to be the center of business
My country is situated in the midst of Asian corridors
Let my country stand politically and economically
Free from foreign intervention and bad influences
My country is predominantly a Christian nation
Let God be the center of our people and nation
Leaders must act on immediate and long term solutions
Let my people love and care for my nation....

Dig, deep inside you might find it
A small fragment of what used to be love
Dig and dig well for you might cause all to collapse
I am decisively lost in the eyes of hope 
The strong tendency of felling hate in the palms of love
The littlest pieces on the floor,
A feeling so small hidden in a vast amount of nothingness
A black point in the white sky feeling nothing but loneliness
Dig where ever you feel it strong, in me the only gold 
present is that with value so insignificant....
