He thought the unthinkable
He saw the unseeable
He spoke the unspeakable
His face was illusion
And his name was Lies.
If you feel bad for others
If it makes you depressed
Think of how much you have
But beware
a deeper tug in your chest.g
It’s when out the bottom drops
that life falters, halts and stops.
All before is now lesser,
dreams slip into the never.
Humility and discernment lead
Knowledge and wisdom follow
Use them as an example to succeed
And you will be them tomorrow
Longing to thrust my hand
Through this wall of glass that divides us,
I pull away; afraid the shards
Will pierce my armor.
Ask me to do for you
Ask me yes, yes…yes.
But if you screwed a friend or two
I’d say bite me! Fits you best!
Chew on that?
A podium medal now pending,
honourable mention of sorts,
or another NA in a contest,
NA-DIR of a writer’s naive expectation
Great ideas have gone untold
Until one day when they unfold
Through the minds of plagiary
Comes great ideas- dishonestly
When feeding a family of four
From a 16-inch terrarium
The secret is to eat less, not more
Or build a seafood aquarium
History is an open book
If we would just turn the pages.
Perhaps it is fear that prevents a look
At life throughout the ages?
"Every living thing
upon this earth
has a right to exist"
claims the species
who made it through
survival of the fittest.
A tender kiss upon the brow
has precious little meaning now.
When fornication simply states
a need for pleasure without delay.
You said I wasn't worth a plug nickel
But you offered a penny for my thoughts,
So I gave you my two cents
And turned on a dime
Men don’t cry
not in pain
not in rain
Men are strong
they hold on
they have brawn
Just one time
a man tear
a love fear
Focus fickle, energy leaks;
dark thought clouds are released.
If we be he our presence seeks,
which demon needs to be appeased?
a lot of ratatat when you hammer
but ill-fated by design
you nail the buffeting clamour
but slow news filler not main headline
Is everything coming together?
Are things still flying apart?
Are we any less lost when we're born
Than when we finally lose heart?
The notion of life after death is ludricous...
they are dead,
and can't communicate;
whoever believes they can is superstitious.
Learning to smile
whilst turning the knife
in one’s subordinates anatomy.
A life, so rife for strife.

I took one look
It died before it spoke
No reason to read the book
The play she played was a joke.
4-24-12
Asked for a beurre, I berate;
a croissant so flaky and straight.
I got ordinaire; what a nerve;
The dumb waiter threw me a curve!
A playful toddler- made to sit
when it's time to eat
may then assume that inborn fit-
to wiggle, squirm right off his seat!
We dropped mind to search for God
by plugging energy leak
and when in time our heart thawed
we discovered we are he who we seek.
Life is a journey,
with a destination
deeply embedded;
the smell of the roses,
all the sweeter,
if you know where you're headed.
Since corporate gain
is all that matters,
thick oil is fouling
ocean waters.
