The magic word is “choice”.

Wombs muffle their voice....

Strike me with the minor chord, 
From condescending, cutting word me spare.

Capital punishment

When a state
Kills a convicted murderer
The state
Becomes like the killer 
Murdering the defenseless 
In the toxic word 
Of justice...

The legions, of her irresistible charms,
 
Marched on

And

Unopposed conquered, my defenseless 

Heart!

Herd immunity, herd immunity,
corona viruses hence have absurd impunity,
multiply free and spread in spree over triumphant glee, 
along effortless thoroughfare to every defenseless community....

your love is
mosquito swarm
the sweet nectar of
shame pouring down
the throat clogs
stops up senses
defenseless
i am a tree
down on my knees
my limbs snap&break
don't take your time
take mine...

W What slithers in the mind, gnaws at my peace
O Other people's words, to which I assign a motive
R Rather dwell on verses of Scripture, sonnet or verse
D Deliberating on sounds cast awind, torture me alive...

A voice silenced, speak no more
Hold, my tongue in obedience
Words to neither deny nor defy
Defenseless without credence


Verbal insanity, senseless score
Spewed as mindless nonsense
Words to neither elate nor clarify
Ignorance creating only impedance...

We cannot cower in fear or hide in the shadows.
We should not be silent and speak no words.
The foolishness of a few, should be futile.
We need to be warriors of understanding.
Compassion and empathy the weapons.
Hatred will be defenseless against our heart....

The grass in not green on the other side
they'll tell you that to make you greedy it's a lie
they'll try to get you to turn on all your convictions
so you can become defenseless only to be controlled
by those who only know darkness the heartless claiming to be victims....

Misbegotten pair, 
two-faced condemnation, 
the seduction of sweet solace 
or the inarticulation of despair. 

Uneasy 'neath the spell of peerless rapture, 
false respite from the ravages of fear,
or defenseless and imperilled 
by a sadness that is too extreme to bear....

In a moment of weakest surrender
 I relinquished mine heart to thee
for nothing less doth love demand!
Its nectar sweetness draweth me 
What a strange effect on mine heart
For love hath over ruled mine senses
and left me defenseless.
I am without one plea for I am at 
Its mercy...

row and glide,
but do not hide,
		for millions lie hidden
in cold pockets,
who will warm by reflection
of we who see,
grasping the secret power 
of the present.

- peek around the corner
from the quiet shores of 
sentimental memories.

- come out and be defenseless....

Misbegotten pair, 
two-faced accusation,

Either uneasy 'neath the spell of peerless rapture, 
false respite from the ravages of fear,
or defenseless and imperilled 
by a sadness that is too extreme to bear....

They stand in pack of a thousand. Defenseless and speechless. Yet their silent ords are of great power as they tell the story, of their life.
     If you listen closely,you;ll hear the secrets, that which they hold. They are not bound by rules or restrictions; but simply by, the way of life....

I scream 
This night vision
Too many miles without you
Like dissonance craves its resolution 
I covet you
My Peace
With shattered dreams and frozen tears
I stand here naked
My soul pierced by eyes of fire
Desperately defenseless
Consume me
This heart in desolation
Love gives way to thorns...

New Life


New life

hangs by a thread

alone and defenseless

nourished by its mother’s rich blood

and love.

I fly across a lively splendid hallway over to the cross side. 
Stirringly, my body is as yet stored on the acrid, cold ground. 
My weights are lowered, relieving a large burden off my gear.
Alike a shouting newborn,  entirely bare and defenseless.

Contained in what’s so fragile, could break, 
     And soaked to preserve its state.
But why prevent its being defaced? 
     It was wanted dead, in the first place.
Defenseless, it was so deprived 
     The right to choose, to live, to die; 
Borne, by fate, by whose heart was stone, 
     And dead before it was born....
