abruptly when his star fell...

White with wonder, I stay locked
When it thunders, I lay shocked!

People all around me flocked,
But everyday I fell mocked!...

Rolling Stones

needed no pheromones.

They rocked

and gals flocked!

Above the moon flocked, steepled pines
     Eternal sky - the hallowed night
      Celestial alms of grand designs
    Sing silent psalms in ancient light...

touch flocked wallpaper
smell pink tulips
scream your absolute joy
taste salt and sugar
be as awake as you can be
every day is a gift
do not squander it...

a snow flocked pine tree . . .  
dozens of bright cardinals
decorate its limbs

Once was a handsome young fellow you know
Girlies flocked round to see my parts down below
Being quite discreet
Charged for each peek
Soon became wealthy with a whole harem to show...

Victorian mirror was extraordinarily romantic
women who discovered her were never disappointed
their wishes came true after her purchase
men flocked to them, for their desirability was heightened
a hundredfold...

Long time ago in town of El Paso 
there's a handsome cowboy named Hunter Joe.
Charming as Buffalo Bill,
his mere looks could even kill; 
Ladies flocked him like a wild Wild West show.

ruby the ram
met larry the lamb
to frolic in the fields 
as they would hop
they came to a stop
because they met some eels
they slithered and scurried
and the two friends hurried
because they didn't want to get shocked
they pounced and ran
screamed as fast as they can
and all of the eels flocked...

the sky is crystal blue
Lake Michigan the same
down the Eagle flew
to catch his game

he dropped his fish dinner 
upon the riverbank
sea gulls flocked near the winner
for any scrap he did not take

as we gort a closer look
he was spooked and flew away
he perched upon the knotty Jackpine 
and watched us play

Embellishment content
is sired not ~ nor is full extent
flocked sternly, the construed resent
is oft the wandering mind's consent!

To view the atrophy's invent
is vague and apprehension's sent
my heart awakening, so alert
looks forward, while all knees are bent ~

with prayers of useless saming's vent
looks forward . . . loving's implement!...

Gullible sheep that flocked to the polls

     Were wooed by promises of lofty goals

          Hope they are happy

               With leaders so sappy

                    Pray next election attracts saner souls

                              a
                      flocked tree
                   white in its color
                golden-ruby ornaments 
             stands profoundly majestic
            loved by a once very small girl
                            me

Dead's he who binds himself in his own cage 
Who lets his love consumed by his own rage 
Like withered pile of leaves in yellow wood 
Where flies flocked to tear its flesh where it stood 

For, deadened heart is as good as the dead 
Like a log that just lies in its own bed 
Like a flesh filled with aches but does not bleed 
But inside, worms of pride gather to feed

he knows what they want
he always figures it out
miguel of the south

as the days went by
the masses grew in number
they tore down the walls

they flocked from the hills
and from the moors in the south
from the regal halls

they saw the whole thing
beheld the proclamation
the solemn promise

then he woke up
hardly a truck to be found
dang me, oh, dang me

A door with a strong key locked
Is a room outrightly blocked!
So, in which space had folks flocked
When darkest eleven clocked?

Not a door at which one knocked,
For stubborn key one has mocked:
The picture: a room with wares stocked
By one who had a ship docked,
All its windows well-shuttered
For a privacy not shattered…

A door with a strong key locked
Is a double-barreled gun cocked....

the seeing child 
exotic and special
an old soul

she had a history
unknown to those unenlightened
understood by the others

she saw well beyond her flesh years
the villagers flocked to her
asking for her advice

she was the shaman of their village
at earth age eight
understanding better than most

sharing a soul past
with those who would listen
more often those who were willing to hear...

The organ that once played
Melodious music is now quiet
The altar, where once the faithful  
Flocked now stands empty
Priests have changed their roles
They referee and judge
The games people play
Dare not defy them!
Vain are such efforts!
Vain are their building projects!
Vain is their property business!
Your identity is in worship
Through worship, you will find
Your true value and identify!...

The twisting reach of my arm
stuck in the sleeve 
shaking like a finch flustering in the marble basin
as if in slow motion 
startled the place into a swift, shifting mess of feathers 
that were flocked and gathered at the water's cemented edge, cracking 
waiting for winter to pass 
which led your snowflake speckled eyeslashes to turn toward me, melting
and in that one, heavy, foggy breath
we met....

People flocked round badly hurt Paul,
Ten minutes ago had a fall
While he was playing rough football...
And they had to a doctor call, 
Then with chess players in a hall, 
Loved more than the card's near a mall
"No! His treatment not in this hall, 
For not being ethical at all...
Some First Aid and then my clinic...
At least, it'll save me one cynic!"
And you with a dislocation:
Get ready for relocation....

What if we had feathers;
Would we just fly away...
Backs arched
Feathers flocked, flapping
Fly toward heavens realms
Would this make me
An Angel
Who am I to say
Have I ever prayed
All I can say is... AMEN
For as the feathers fall away
As those feathers fly
I exercise my right to see my God
Me and I and FEATHERS FLY
Into heavens holy skies
Hallelujah

Eagle-Sea -- Hope, the long Wave--
Slow -- to the Acorn --
From where Million goodbyes
As the best deflowered Drive --
Deep in and out -- 
It's impossible I meet!

I read your long letters --
Breathed --Organic glory --
Sublime ecstasies --they are all your flesh --
Chanted -- the perpetual
Revolution of that Dips!

Let me not to be ashamed
By saying, "They shake me sexually" --
I could not know
How departures I have --
All flocked me away!...
