That there is fraternal love
Here, there, everywhere
Until the ends of the world...

Christians killing Christians,
politics trumping God

The Axis dared, the Allies fared
—shared lineage facade

To the half witted and handsome prince
Was born a pair of fraternal twins
All through that fateful night
Glum and sleepless he sat
Confused who fathered one of the twins!...

All my friends are 
virtual online
Arms-length fraternal,
 distance sublime
Safe in my cave,
 with cursor in hand
Downloading affection
—beyond all demand

Inside each,ever on call
Helping us when we fall;
In our ministry fraternal
A protecting presence eternal;
Many fears,sometimes tears
in tomorrow's timeless years
Revealing thoughts so deep inside
Ready always to come alongside...

One, two
Spirits
Entwined
Side by side
Alone
Yet together
Not identical
Fraternal
Reflections
Images floating
Starry skies
Pond leaves
Debris
Covers
Bright colors
Masking Intentions
Rain falling
Uncovering
Veins of love
Stem to tip
Floating
Stopping
Pond's edge
Embracing...

Diametric …
art and commerce
Twining symbols
colors adverse
 Yin & Yang
divergent segues 
Each stigmatic
 bloddy payday
Fraternal image
Louvre / Montmartre
Black tie bidding
cobbled heart
A poor man sings
a rich man vies 
On bartered canvas
 —truth defies

Ten siblings
though an only child
Divorced fraternal
 bastardis wild 

Ten reminders
of what I’m not
Isolated
 dropped not caught

Ten siblings
that share my name
Whose backs have turned
with eyes that blame

Regret incessant
to live outside
This name a prison
—wherein I hide

N.B.: Four Kingdoms to represent four types of heart: Parental, Conjugal, filial piety 
(children’s love) and fraternal love.
My first try at this form,  inspired by Brian Strand....

Being a poet,
           is to be a firefly that
           shine and grow brighter all
           moments... and every
           instant hover its light...
           And at each fiat lux signal
           pour its gift
           fortuitous,
           fraternal...
           And always being a firefly...
           to donate its light , a miracle
             for magic to happen... !...

An expanded infinity
       there is in a clod of earth...
       An unrevealed but conscious sky
       in the sweet smile of a flower...
      A whole universe of love,
      in the palm of a friendly hand...
      And for those who notice,
      a total harmony in one
      fraternal hug,
      flawless conformation
      given freely both
      of the maximum
      and from minor.. !...

For the lost they lead
On the path set by their lord
For the oppressed they bleed
Modern masons marching forward
For the hungry they feed


Brave crusading knights 
Templar invaders
Entrance through Masonic rites
European crusaders
Selfless attitude ignites


Fraternal in one accord 
Brave crusading knights
On the path set by their lord
Constructing gothic sites
From the west marching forward...

- Breaking Habits
A journey begins,
Over the bridge from the South...
It is not to late.

- Pain
Such exquisite pain,
Wanting, there is no pity...
In the depths of hell.

- Brother in arms
Fraternal embrace,
Each one is for the other...
For the love of life.

- Lessons learned
Old remedies told,
Lubricating body and mind...
True strength from within.

UNLIMITED

You provide me
Love
Unlimited care
Everything you gave.

My efforts undaunted
My mind unthinkable
Fathom the unknown
This fraternal endearment.

Would the love subside
Hate
Unbounded presumes
Nothing less could collapse.

The heaven, the air, and the rains 
Immeasurable, eternal
Mile and miles
Windmill powers volume.

Faith in Thee
God
Hearty really unlimited
He extends doesn’t deny you and me!...

Rhyme…
 the alcohol in your cocktail
 the octane in your gas
 the connection in the words you speak
 fraternal sounds that last

Rhythm…
  the tempo of your heartbeat
  the joy that slows you down
  the shuffle in the words you speak
  that dance among the crowd

Song…
  the phrase that carries upward
  the music so inspired
  the love it brings that heaven sings
    —as Angels join your choir

I woke, icicles frozen to the window pane
melting as I looked out; Snow, drifts deep
on the lawn. Still crunching my toast

chilled toes wriggled into damp wellies,
school cap askew, I slam the back door-
Sinking to my bare knees, I stumble to the gate.

Along the school lane, boys snowballed
shouted and slid. At Auntie’s house I stopped,
my eyes seeking the upstairs window-

In that room, last night, another sister
new born, lay. Encore, no fraternal
frolics for’ dained, for me to play....

Freedom, equality and brotherhood
In the french revolution had happen should
But led simply to build a guillotine.
Not even Robespierre his head save could.

Newborn people of world has a bloodline
Which marks her/him to be ugly or fine
No equality or brotherhood are acting now
No real freedom or Justice can destine.

It’s time to change and reach a splendid glow
The hateful racism outlaw to throw
We are all equal, free and fraternal too
It’s time for mankind a spiritual grow....
