Don't let them crush your soul,
For the things that make you broken,
Are the things that make you whole...

Samson had Delilah,
I married a pariah...

She'd bedded the
entire city,
And was really not that pretty,

But dumb is dumb,
And genitals think,
Led to a marriage,
Which really did stink....

To make this wine

I am a Tree

Go into the Woods and stare at me

Then tell your Children about me

Because touch wood i have no Ikea

The Philistines wanted the source of Samson's power
Delilah tried,nagged and then to her love,lied
In weakness,this Judge was soon to cower-
Samson' strength was never self-reliant,
The Spirit of the Lord had made him a giant

How many Poems must I write,
to set my spirit free

How many sunsets must I watch,
to win my souls reprieve

How many women must I love,
to make Delilah cry

How many visions must I chase
—to catch the last goodbye

SAMSON 2

Samson killed a thousand men
With the jawbone of an ass
There was no other man alive
In mighty Samson's class

But his strength departed from him
After all was done and said
Because a lady named Delilah
Shaved mighty Samson's head

Samson was known for strength and flowing mane

   He loved Delilah who became his bane

      Through many a bedroom schmooze

         She found the key to his ruse

            She barbered him bald in a coup de main

I want the dripping edge 
of my words
to be raw,
like wind in a hurricane
like creation’s power before it acted
like anger before attack
or lust before love
Intuition before reason
Samson before Delilah
Meaning before definition
Epiphany,
—before the letters form 

(Train To New York: August, 1999)...

Though Sampson was known for his hair
Delilah quite fancied him bare
She thought he'd look cute
Not quite so hirsute
And shaved him where no one would dare

Alas, when Mother Nature called
The whole world seemed to be appalled
With no hair to hide
Sampson's bouncing pride
His battering ram was blackballed...

Woman, you fan the fading flame of my mortality.
Nestled here in your warmth, blissful, soft serenity

that soothes and hushes down all hurt rememberings
of triumphs lost, of losses gained, of untold sufferings.

The spell of your charm seduces, to treachery leads,
as I grope, as I fumble about, as my lifeblood bleeds !...

how
goosebumps
up  and  down
they  shiver  up
shiver down my skin
how the mere thought of you
raises  my  pulse  and  heartbeat
I love most goosebumps that broadcast
there's no better place than in your heart

Nature looks weary abut the boom gate
Like a faithful prostitute dun for her pay
With hand on cheek, the other wave way

By ageless sky con beloving gaze
And Sam to Delilah, a giant betrayed
 In boneless bliss, made Achilles to heel

What fate the peep to me had brought? 
When time..., yet permits me to decide  
To crisscross between heaven and earth.

A n attempt to bamboozle him.

D irecting  the abomination
I nto my inner soul.
S corn, in the flame of passion,
A ffection going nowhere.
G iving way to struggle, looking for a
R eason to cherish
E very yearning.
E nding this bitter taste,
M aking this relationship
E stranged.
N ever will it bloom 
T o a tender love.

Captured, bamboozle and victimized, by fear

Trapped in your night-mare

Killed, in your hands

Your weapon twisted in my soul

Captured in this murder

Bamboozle for love

Victimized in words

Poor soul, muddled

Due to our crime

Life-blood, scatter in dirty hearts

Flooding our laziness

Have nothing to say

Murder on my hands

So sad, I cry

It's your life, not mine

Hellbent
   free fall
unsynchronized tumble
   Helter-skelter
   feet first
   head first
Arms akimbo
   screaming, holding my breath
   into a cold inferno
   beyond the stars, shivering
jackals howling
   Echoes of the end of time...
   startled awake
   throat hoarse
   covered with gooseflesh

By Valerie D. Staton


I love you…
More than Elmer loves glue
More than Bruce loves Kung Fu
More than Sara loves pie
You’re the apple of my eye

More than Samson loves Delilah
More than smoke loves fire
More than Adam loves Eve
You're the only one I need

More than needle loves thread
More than Wilma loves Fred
More than peaches loves cream
More than I’d ever dare to dream

I love you......

I’m going to comprehend my rhyme

Breakwater below your feet

Psalms I scream

For his brainless thoughts, are not his fault

So please absorb, guzzle or swallow, this free verse

For I speak to a ghost

Each second, I see your eyes

Philosophize the beat to my heart

Has I scream out your blood

Hoping you’ll disappear

Before I finish breaking water below your feet

And, no you may not have a seat
