Short Effecting Poems

Serenity on the river bank
Setting sun reflecting
Mirrored golden lake
Rays and angles effecting

Birds serenading
Bathing ducks splash
Daylight fading
Starry sky in a flash...

dark places find me
as a result of myself
dark places bind me
i give them all the wealth
dark places grind me
the unpredictability stirs my stealth
dark places remind me
modern stressful times are really effecting my health...

And this body ink has stained my skin
I coulda been
Im beautiful 
All these ideas 
Scarred in detail
Its getting dull there starting to fade
All the bright colours effecting my brain
So much judgement
I feel peace
This art makes me at ease
Im beautiful...

In silence I listen,
To hear a song,
One I carry within,
Playing all day long.
Felt by all you let in,
It's loud and singing,
Symphonies of emotion,
Silently playing along.
Effecting everything around,
With it's powerful sound,
Now Making hearts pound,
With the signal i've found....

The political gain
A four year reign
Legislation denied
The citizen cried

A steady race
Challenges to face
A heated debate
An opponent took the bait

Issues to change 
Effecting an age range
Campaign funding
Candidates confronting

Victory impending
For one, campaign is ending...

A person humble,
A person kind,
Fear may flood mind,
Bravery stands dry,
Help brakes from the crowd,
Bravery withstands the storm,
When you stand out,
Your works remembered,
Your love shines,
Effecting many,
Hurting few,
When you stand out,
Good men are watching,
Good men chase you,
One will capture you....

A great genius named Albert Einstein
At the physicist's ball had too much wine
Effecting a photo-electrical stance,
Energetically emcee'd the square dance

May 26,2014

NB: Einstein received the Nobel Prize for
discovering the photoelectric effect. His
Special Theory of Relativity is famous for
the formula E=mc². Puns intended....

A change has come ‘for better or worse 
‘effecting every level including your purse .

The hounds of conflict quite’n their howl , as silence prevails and the media’s scowl.

The morning chorus can now be heard from our singing cousins those wondrous birds  

A time of reflection from without ‘and within,
this is not the end ‘but a chance to begin ....

When my heart beats
It pumps black ink
Flowing to my brain
Effecting how I think

I start to weep
Black tears of rage
A pool of darkness 
Soaking my page

Your injected words
Have filled my veins
A heart colored black
Covered with stains

My life re-imagined
With love energized
The beat changes
New blood supplied

Color now returned
My heart fully fed
Now when I cry
My tears will be red...

The Eternals Wake

Afterlifer's believes consciousness dabbles, effecting furtherance,
gainsayers, henceforth, interjects jocularity,
knowledgeable limits mortality nonbeing ... obliviates predominating, quasistationary,
relinquishes significance tasked ultrafamiliar,
vaticinators wanderings xenial,
yearning zen.

Those cowboys chased him ’cross the land
What a shame they hadn't planned
The man accused of rape and pillage 
Made it to a distant village
Leather boots effecting entry
Every shack discovered empty
Save for one where ‘mum’ was cooking
Cowboys moved on, elsewhere looking
Who could know Geronimo
Would ever wear a kimono
And stand there cooking chicken dippers
Wearing bright pink fluffy slippers...

Should I give up?
Trying her best, but it isn't enough.
Giving it her all, but it isn't enough.
"Is that all?"
"Can't you try harder?"
"Do more!"
All these meaningless opinions 
effecting me, barging in.
When will it go away?
Sleepless nights, silently crying. 
When will someone listen and not judge me?
Can't they let me be ?
Can't stop my thoughts from being clouded by such things.
Should I give up?...

The pearl, so white and beautiful,
at rest beneath the sea,
stands still as time passes by,
effecting only you and me.

For with each day,
each month, each year,
I long to stop this endless fear
the fear of growing old and gray,
of life quickly passing by my way.

The pearl is locked inside its shell,
living eternally, safe and well,
while I am doomed a painful death,
the pearl lives on, without a threat....

You can not regain lost time
for it is spent
Past
forever gone
The moment to hesitate is through
No way to turn those hands back
Retreat return – no, never
Seconds tick by
onwardly marching
For time it stops for no one

And yet the future
now is time 
for change
for remembering
for recollecting
effecting what may be
doing things for the now
living life with no regrets
move on 
for life time is precious...

Listen to poem:

Radio Ghosts Soundtrack
David J Walker

Can you fine-tune the voice of the
Ghosts in your radio?

The choice, the ones you used to know
Who entertained 
Between the records and the fame of 
The famous

Can you recall the names
Of those now nameless

And places and faces of those
Who shared the experiences
Effecting your life

The echoes tuned to another 
Time and place

Creating the soundtrack 
For your life...

The Lone Coyote Calls


Hearing the call of the lone coyote on hot desert night
 hot breeze effecting everything in it's swirling path
Eagle sailing lonely across still melting blue skies
 gophers scurrying in and out of tight little holes
Sun resting it's shining authority over desolate land
 every creature hot and battling in a survival fight
Rolling over in my steaming hot little tent
 wondering where the hell that damn coyote went!

Innocence blown like chaff away
Her defenses linen thin
Finding nothing within her grasp
As he lies upon the skin

Silent screams as loud as air
Shame and horror fill her lungs
Pain as sharp as skin is bare
Crumbling value of one so young

Though not at fault, left to blame
Self worth melting like wax
Nightmares expand every inch of the brain
Replaying the scene of haunted attacks

The effecting outcome of molestation
Is damaging the souls of this great nation...

Wind circulates, lifting and flattening
an otherwise, benign, breathless world, 
relying also on deeper, slowly moving
tectonics, belching foully, scattering
seas...effecting change.  Seasons like Sun
rejoice and fold. An occasional comet or 
meteor perhaps a compassionate
God-sent, heaven rethinking the dawdling 
pace of destiny….  Man a defiant offspring,
rejecting patterns seemingly not of his own 
making – good angels know better, dutifully 
soothingly serving....
