  Bitter words linger—
a salty residue dwells on, 
  tongues' discourse....

Planets drifting on their course
All the cares of the day cease
With the angels I discourse...

It was NOT a social affair!
It was insurrection
Attacking my section
How dare RNC not be fair?"...

One sees what one thinks
and will contemplate without
natural discourse
with the common elements
in the diverse universe....

Granted, the Bread of Life's discourse 
in John 6 is mysteriously vague...
Yet, joyfully accepting Him at His Word, 
with open hands-- I still beg! :)...

Stone pillars erected against the gales, 
Silenced in buried secrets deep. 

Hurled discourse from crested toppled waves,
Endless tattle tossed in a heap....

Anger is a child's tool 
Bullies can't be allowed to rule 
Children must become informed 
Develop a discourse for this storm 
Family must teach before they guide

The sound of laughter,
The sound of silence,
The sound of discourse,
The sound of fear,
The sound anger,
The sound of anguish,
And the sound of happiness,
Are all sounds we must hear....

Whatever that actually means
is elusive

discourse helps clarify
clear-mindedness defined by
heart and soul gigs might
help 'splain it some 

but only sum

'cause in the end
it's up for 
grabs...

It's around the corner, of snow I speak
Wouldn't it be nice if it would last just a week
I'd stay indoors
Involve in discourse
Bout the news of the day, with joy I'd shriek...

So disappointing to have a reputation--
Known for argumentative disputation
When we could be known for a gentler tone,
Raising quality of discourse in our generation.

It's around the next corner, of snow I speak
Wouldn't it be nice if it would last just a week

Involve in discourse

My thoughts often meander
from poetry to love to sex to God
seamlessly without punctuation
Unique theories lovers hold as their own
generate discourse about aches
of being with a love
and being alone...

Literary bridge to nowhere
Without compass, pen as guide
O'er rambling discourse, each jagged meter
Freely moving with rythymless strides
Subconsciously retreading again
Until stumbling into idyllic, lyrical retreat....

Literary bridge to nowhere
Without compass, pen as guide
Through rambling discourse
O'er every jagged meter
Free, rhythymless strides
Unconsciously retreading again
Stumbling every step
Into vapid, lyrical retreat....

You’re a peacock amongst sparrows
A swan amongst geese,
An aria amongst discourse,
A sleek schooner amongst a rag-tag fleet
You’re a mighty oak,
In a forest of trees.
You’re the most beautiful person,
That I ever did see....

a random
 discourse of
curiosity
          change
             coincidence,
likes&dislikes
up in the air:

imaginary landscapes
notions of season
all structures in my mind,
my voice
           as poetry
lost for words...

"Much I marveled this ungainly Foul to hear discourse so plainly
Though its answer little meaning;
Bereft of all that I adore."
Further sitting there in English parliament I wondered
What this monstrous Panting "mother"
Meant....

Brave new world 
Reduced to a gossiping village 
Spying on neighbours

Everyone demands a voice

Topsy-turvey and
Not releasing is
This discourse. 

Stale, no - 
Seeping into a 
Cavernous mixture that
Overwhelms the Self. 

Sensing immortality.
An impossible reality. 

Dragging my feet
into puddles of
deaths lost
and pains remembered....

Belligerent and Bold 

What I recently have been told
Is awkward being belligerent and bold
Love won't last when lies are spoken
And love becomes small as a token,
Were caught out somewhere in the cold.

A Discourse in Remorse

I had nearly touched the spire
Wherein reason intervened--
And labeled hope a liar,
So the council then convened.

But the quorum in its meeting
Felt discourse a useless thing,
For hope is always fleeting...
Even with the slightest wing.
