when a close one dies, we realise
we are looking at waves, not the ocean
light of our true Self, delusion decries
eye of wisdom calming commotion
A moment of truth
a century of lies
The left hand deflects
what the right hand decries
A little bit pregnant
the ending begins
A monster gestating
—and living within
(The New Room: December, 2023)
as trickles hum to glossy oaks and skies---
come waltz me in the symphony of rain
enshrining charms adored .... though moon decries
love gone: just let night’s movement whirl again.
Taken from the poem 'Final Dance'
Lustful eyes, feral their intent
Base instincts holding sway
Until we grant God’s love consent
Wantonness is our way
We may choose path of life
What avail, needless strife
Be a child, with bliss rife
Soul decries
Lustful eyes

Quietus
The ghosts of fear are nesting
glaring clouds that are driven
A procession of baying donkeys
The ponds reflection loudly decries
as gulls shriek for attention
Nighttimes plumage banishes bluish
A torrent of rain flatters
the receiving river
painted by the sunshine
in the days of gold
As a walker,
I like pavement
As a traveler,
open space
As a thinker,
I prefer logic
As a mystic,
only grace
A conflict sure,
all age foretells
My soul,
this state decries
The answer dearest
to the one
To the other
—always lies
(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2018)
Lust
Over burns
Lovers in turn
Full of disdain
Wrath
Feeds fire
Gluttony
Death, and despair
Greed
Just breeds
Raw rampant
Inequity
Sloth
Negates
Energies place
Wastefully spaced
Envy
Decries
Ego’s dark side
Truths, never lies
Pride
Hard hide
Unearned burn
Circle soon turned
Lust
I saw him standing in the street
he so vacant eyed and weak,
refused to see me as I passed
For I recall the summer last,
when fireflies shimmered in the stream
and he had promised me a dream
before he set his soul on fire
with mistresses of white desire
and now his ashen face decries
the way a burning passion dies.
Wet Shoes and Kisses
beneath its rain soaked blush
lust’s seething humid crush
hides beneath this cone of lies
stolen moments love decries
no happy ending to this tryst
wet shoed squish of fading kiss
sad red umbrella
no Cinderella

The world collectively
lost its mind
When fires burned
our vision blind
From East to West
and North to South
Insanity
from mouth to mouth
The world has finally
woken up
Pundits quartered
their lies corrupt
Mobbed together
they screamed on high
But run for cover
—as truth decries
(Dreamsleep: December, 2023)
A proprietary hold on God,
religion does proclaim
Defining what we know inside
our souls will they reclaim
The Cross or Torah, Buddhist lore
each ritual decries
What can’t be owned or scripted pure
through centuries of lies
Divinity a birthright deigned
for those who search to find
What God embeds in every soul
—that structure can’t define
(The New Room: May, 2022)
My song is sad and badly sung
It catches in my throat and dies
No matter what the day decries
The bells of truth are sadly rung
To cry for a heart that doesn't care
Futile is the life that lives in vain
Crying with such delicious pain
Lest you keep love alive, beware
Tomorrow dawns as I know it will
Still , hope raises its determined head
And after all is done and tearfully said
My God, forgive me..I love you still..
as trickles hum to glossy oaks and skies---
come waltz me in the symphony of rain
enshrining charms adored .... though moon decries
love gone: just let night’s movement whirl again.
in love’s tempo as beats far roll to sigh
of final dance-steps drenching our goodbye.
Contest: A Rhyme In 60 for Laura Loo 1/25/2017
Checked with howmanysyllables
and pure-rhyme counter
When distance circles the shoreline
Painfully , a numb breeze decries
How our lackluster glance mirrors
Frail changing of hesitant eyes.
Across night’s starkly blunt edges
Fondness dangles like threadbare reeds;
Knowing warmth is not forever
When moonless summer’s rapture bleeds.
~
My spirit homeless now admits,
This fleeting affair… love resists.

Listen to poem:
And Now is Not When Not is Now
David J Walker
If everything must happen Now
And Now is now and not is not
And Now is then and Thin is Got
And one is When and win is lost
Wind will wend its way past Lest
(And sleep is never fraught with cost)
And evening east and morning west
And truth is lies unless its tossed
And everything has died in jest
The sun decries the midday frost
Now is not and not is now
And not will never cost a lot
The gelid wind is a knife, ice to bone
As Demeter decries Persephone's moan
I too shed a tear, crystalline nature
In the pallid winter of my discontent.
Downy flakes fly in my woods, this glacier
melts slowly, apart from everyone ashore
I die a little more each day I bore
Holes, In this winter of my discontent.
No ode to my urn shall abide tragedy
Created in frolic architecture, majesty
Denied grace in art, I cry a little more
In the frigid winter of my discontent.
Smell of onion rouses I room
I brain sizzles on
blood soiled fat of I pimples
In this matchbox
a lone rattling stick
decries the clinging dark
Out these windows faint lights call
Within I box,the shadows grow
I hand trembles at the knot
I dream dangles in the void
Silent,the walls stare now
their ears are full
with frizzling omelet sounds
Hear them sniffing so
I must go before they speak
...to meet the sunrise while it sets
...to meet the sunrise while it sets
Through eyes of today they're seeing different surrounds
Hell for leather fanatics with no care for whom's grounds
Where religion decries that it's their credence to kill
With no care what so ever, it's no matter whom spills
Yet the big boys of this world can only attack each other
Yet it's their innocents whom have to continually suffer
Where will this all end, is this our self oblivion mapped
Or are we just an experiment, our time soon capped
