When Morning arrives
on wings of dawn
the sky melts into
a cloud
and the sacred design
of a shroud
becomes a mystery
disavowed
A better critic
than writer…
Your tongue sharpens,
as your pen hacks
Bastardized on the altar
of cold description
Disavowed by the jilted Muse,
—ink bleeding red
(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2017)
He, always alone in a crowd
she, always the centre of it;
they always arrived together
then part, he so quick disavowed
she traipsed to the men, in a flit;
he ever held on a tether.
And when they withdrew, he and she
there was no longer two, but three.
Neither left wing nor right
conservative or liberal,
he goes about his day
Living outside the parameters
of deception,
hell in heavens way
While living as dead
he vanquishes time,
each moment present now
Defying your judgment
refusing to choose
—all limits disavowed
(Dreamsleep: August, 2019)
The edge of eternity
often obscured
lost in plain sight
just beyond
Until cutting through
a moments grief
immortalized
in song
Leonard Cohen and
Bob Dylan as one
freeing new spaces
inside
Where lost in
the maelstrom
alone disavowed
— the best of ourselves tries to hide
(The New Room: January, 2026)
As the quiet night awakes me
Catching my shallow breath
My heart cries lonesome sorrow’s plea
As tears roll silent death
You are gone away now
To wars and soldier’s vows
My heart lies disavowed
Come home in dreams so tenderly
As the quiet night awakes me

If your gas tank is empty,
Unless you're inept,
You can fill it yourself
In all places except...
Oregon and New Jersey
Where you're not allowed.
If you tried, you would certainly
Be disavowed.
It's a mystery why
Such a law's on the books.
Likely some politician's
In debt to some crooks.
So when I'm in New Jersey,
In gas lines I'm stuck.
Though the prices are better,
It's not worth the buck.
The sky is grey, as dark as the soles of shoes
Crows fly beyond the moon’s glow this evil night
The moon has lost its power, paying its dues
Surrounding the darkest house without its light
Pumpkins that are carved light a pathway upwards
Leads to a door cast with spells of evil wards
Halloween’s tonight, trick or treating allowed
Nothing left is good, safety is disavowed
Russell Sivey
The mind was old before it came upon you,
it took your shoes
made you walk upside down
in an inverse eye.
Pray tell, is all well?
Now expostulate your lip tripe
and see if any much broken soul
cares.
Keep your trapdoor mind,
your garmented flapping pockets
so full of the disavowed,
the cancelled out widow weeds
of fake sorrow.
Be not evermore, be not even now.
As always there is much to be taken back.
Do you spend twenty percent of your time
acquiring your beliefs
And eighty percent of your time
in defense
Do you have blinders on
about what you conceive
In fear of the critics
pretense
Are your views narrow focused
and then watered down
As the truth disavowed
slips away
Is your memory tainted
in times left to waste
As your efforts
—retreat in dismay
(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2019)
I am
Weak
No more will I be
Able to walk straight
With my head held high, I am
Living a lie
I cannot continue on by
Rehearsing perfection to mask flaws
Under your shelter I reside to stop
The destruction of my esteem
I will not feed
The fire within
As my insecurities grow, so too does
My apathy
I have disavowed
My dreams of success
I can clearly see
My failure
I will overcome
Nothing
I will cease to be
And...
This I am
If really getting high, is just your thing…..
Just get some white powder at the West Wing.
I mean, after all,why the heck not?
And one granddaughter of the POTUS may not come in?
Is disavowed his name as if she committed mortal sin.
At Christmas, when the White House is decorated,
Her presence as on ALL days is strictly forbidden.
But laws favoring Communist China will be written!
