Baby burlap
caught under the rock
don’t squirm and panic,
logic dictates
calm will resolve
your problematic situation.
When ego dictates
What you do for how you feel,
You set restrictions,
Chasing your love's fulfillment
You're shocked when theirs spills away
Some are gentle, wouldn't hurt a fly
Others would simply punch you in the eye
What dictates
The road you take
A flip of a coin as to which would apply
Without Warning
'Beyond the dictates of mortals... death does not wait outside the gate'

On board cruise ship:
"Vision Of the Seas"
"Don't sass me"
Conscience will justify you in it
In all ages of the world fiction has lured the obtuse
Afterward act accordingly to the dictates of your best judgment

Nightfall and daytime,
Dusk and dawn,
Sunshine and night gloom,
He calls them to order,
He dictates their timeline.

It blows the sails
of ships from afar;
carries everything
in its path;
dictates where clouds
are to move,
and when to separate;
it continually blows
without getting exhausted....
It's beddy-byes time in the old coral
Age dictates the length of the day in hours
If your eyes start closing
Having “it” while dozing
You know it's time to kick up the flowers
Mania dictates my natural response.
Your answers throw stones in my pond.
The ripple effect goes on forever.
Never will I stop loving you ...
Never.
Sleep?
Okay...
What-
ever ...
Never
Art deco dictates a strong womanly arrogance
Her orange hair accented her headdress true
I saw her in a vision dream, of course only once
She parades herself in a painting, looking haughty and new.
A random walk, yet
entropy dictates my course
forever downward.
Others may curse
this inexorable decline
yet I embrace it.
For in my passing
the seeds of new life are sown
the cycle goes on.
Strike a match
that distracts
but dictates
a reflective gaze.
Eyes, witness
something profound
as the candle melts
pooling, cooling
until the wick
is no longer sustained.
Its flame flickers
then fades.
President Donald Trump
He’s a bombastic chump
Who dictates to others using twitter
His sanctions make some feel bitter

tasks that need attention
we embrace and release
as flow of life so dictates
erasing it from our focus
leaving behind no residue
that pristinity of the now
reveals its wondrous hues
to delight our childlike heart
Power
Over life
Gives
Power
Over death
One
Dictates
The other
In joy
And regret
Each
Beginning
And ending
Brings
More of the same
Our
Destiny
Married
To both

(The New Room: January, 2024)
Pastor sermonized,
one fine Sunday years ago
about gossiping.
No one ever forgot it.
“Gossip hurts. Shut your big mouths!”
for John Freeman's "Sayings of Wisdom" Contest.
Pure, simplistic and easy to understand. : ) 8/4/11
The tower’s high with striking chime
its clangor resonates.
With face of time now widely seen
clock’s scene thus viewed dictates.
Its dial white looks free of grime
new cleaning time awaits .
Loud presence yea with polished sheen
our day it regulates

To God, we sometimes,
may question why me?
Then we wonder if God,
has heard our plea.
When faith has grown weak,
and we’ve missed God’s plot.
Strong faith always dictates,
not why me, but why not.
You shimmer much the same
As the waning moon behind me.
You glow, but not for long
And not for me.
You will last,
Until the night dictates another shape,
For her you'll bend,
Then I must break.
Your light is full, then half, then none,
A world apart from the constant Sun.
going through the motions as fate dictates
we remain at all times in witness mode
enlivened by bliss that never abates
in time stretched peace paying to God an ode
the vast, empty space being our abode
fully ignited is mind-body prism
with the elixir of God’s magnetism
Seeking wisdom
shall we find
the dictates of
a shattered mind
written wildly
on the run
scribble everything
you've done
suck the wind
right through
your spine
the hollow tune's
a haunted rhyme
blast of passion
mixed with power
written in the
witching hour
When you only sing
what they
teach you..
just clothes,
what fashion
dictates ...
you are not living
your life...
But the life that
the world orders
you to live...!
Three pedal pushers, pushed past,
mom, daughter, grand
icons of fashions.
Forms formed by the dictates of passion.
Hair cropped, brows plucked,
rural New England’s answer to
Dolly Parton.
Scooped necked and corseted
varying little from teen-queen to matriarch;
only the wrinkles told the tale.
She withdraws again
Her temperamental tide
Her wavering retreat
Her natural divide.
He must wait again
The patient one, he lies.
And all that she had sated
He slowly leaves to dry.
Both know she'll return
But she's sure she won't stay.
For Mother's hand dictates:
From the land, sea moves away.
