love is silly blind
When it sees and not...
the mulatto is pale
To white says cotton
to Black, coal color...

Notorious for empty rhythm
Spring befalls a season’s time
A writer lost in euphemism...

Colors of Prism in My Catechism

Was like something else and a euphemism;
That I could read about in my catechism,
Not knowing,
Or going,
And had appeared like colors in a prism.

Euphemisms collateral damage 
children died and you smiled
at the flashes of light
bombs make at night
casualties counted  
casualties filed
television is making us numb
its sound we march to like a drum...

Valley of despair,
eager, burns eternal flames,
delivering souls.

Loathsome lake of fire,
choking forth ash and sulfur,
swallowing the damned.

Cursed, unholy ground,
biblical euphemism,
forge of wickedness....

jockeying for position
requires a motive
which is a euphemism 
for egocentric desire

yet if our heart
be playful and childlike 
there is no bondage
for spontaneous spirit

save man
all life forms live
as such
in the now continuum...

reversing polarity totally 
we become the bliss flame
delighting in piercing form
meticulously cleansing sins*
(*a euphemism for ignorance)
illuminating decaying body
and igniting toroidal heart

we see deluded ego identity
apprehensive feeling bliss
being magnetism unknown
and so we comfort the ego
by taking it up Jacob’s ladder
step by step till it recognises
that all that is is Self alone...

Listen to poem:

The Coming of Summer The Fear of Fall
David J Walker

Half-past every euphemism defining 
The truthfulness of youthful youth 
		or
The youthfulness of truthful truth 

Crumbling behind the chime of clocks 
And locks of hair lopped off along the way

Today is 
	Today is
Today

Listen for the pitter-patter of
Little feet 

Catching up 
Spinning calendars

Faster
	Faster

Summer is calling
	A fearful Fall
Is all 
one can count on...

This is the hub of Angels; by which I call a city
A concrete jungle of building that's never been pretty:

Culture in place for the unappealing disparity at its center
Come! And waver off on years of aimless wandering when you enter

The Angels must’ve failed; their endowments left unfilled
Our authenticity is a euphemism; a place by where dreams are killed

We follow the hoods of lavish cars that lead us to the sea
Must be that it’s an easy place to douse in our vanity...
