bitter cold is the heart
that harbors hellish hatred...

Where is the birthplace
Of the unholy and corrupt
The place of the lost
Where evil stems and harbors
Final home of the undead

MOON ISLAND

seaside bumbershoot
harbors
the marooned moon
keeping her all
to himself.

cloudy nights ~
on the mainland.

One
Island
In the sun
Unusual
It has no sandy beach or umbrella
Yet it harbors sweet life for I can see
Lush verdant growth
A hillock
Innate

The soul
 that harbors
the ghost
 that haunts me
must be tired
 of hearing
me whine
 of the love to be
spoiled
 by the ghost
of love past
 and the passion
to be gained
 by love lost...

it looks humble 
but harbors trouble. 
a pregnant silence 
nurtures violence. 
it is threatening, 
it is frightening... 
a silent silence whispers vengeance 
it is worse than an out-spoken uproar....

a scourge across the land of the free
  darkness brooding in Mar-a-Lago
    and brewing in Chesapeake Bay

fear surrounds the man who
  would be our President again
    a stench from the one in office 'til then...

Wilderness harbors many secrets;
Cryptids among the others there;
Big Foot’s seen there by many.
It could be half human;
Some want to kill and 
Study Big Foot.
What if it’s
One of 
Us?

when the night bleeds
and harbors trepidation
I reach for you
my light
to shepherd away the fear
to engulf me in your inner beauty
enveloped in every heartfelt kiss 
and maybe for just one minute 
the world might seem alright...

Flattering words in drown of wine 
Caring voice like divine 
Harmless look in charming eyes 
Harbors the fury and the lies. 

All for one, one for all 
Silent shadows beneath the wall 
Casting bane from the back 
For the price of a buck...

Words of hope
Help me to cope

Inspiration knows
Happiness glows

Heaven brings delight
With colors of insight

Growing old and wise
Harbors no flaming guise

Music to the gloomy soul
Often makes one whole

The early morning
harbors our secrets

I am lifted
by her love

Surrounded and fed
embraced by her love

Late at night
I compare
the moon to her face

But the moon
does not have
her ruby sweet lips

Sex was the seed
her kisses the flower
passion is our fragrance......

Wisdom is of greater weight
than valor, pride, or name
It harbors in my deepest thoughts
to rule my souls’ domain

 Choices made my kingdom saved
though others yet to see
My heart and mind ensconced as one
—the future mine to free

The brain mass of the human mind
Harbors iq’s you won’t believe
But still leaves one thing undefined
Much simpler than technology
With only three percent in use
Will we one day transcend this grip 
And exercise control when juice
Mingle with blood from a bitten lip...

It appears undaunted, unstrainably
By duties dictated exclusively
To provide protection unfeignfully
For needed traveling unharmfully.

It safely furnishes luminescence
As proven effective unfailingly
In guiding seafarers efficiently
To harbors constructed judiciously....

success
harbors joy
and brings confidence,
it takes time and endurance,
you must strive to survive storms,sorrows and pains;
when it is achieved,new songs are sung and books written.

*The size of a man does not matter but the size of his mind.

as a lighthouse
is to tell ships
it's alright

sail towards me
reach safety
in my arms

but light travels faster
than the speed
of sound so

by now you've found
you've run aground
without wax

in your ears
as fear harbors
you blind and soon 

deaf knowing now
how the sirens
have evolved...

Letting Go

Today, my heart, you sail away. 
May your seas be calm and constant.
Plot your life’s course wisely.
Let your ports be safe havens.
And then, when your heart is in need,
Hold your course homeward.
In known harbors will you find comfort.
Loving faces will meet you.

I’ll  stand awaiting the tide....

Listen to poem:

in the far distance
serenity on the surface
his strength precarious
he harbors within more
questions than answers
as he ponders the intricacies
of his balancing act
of the silence deep within
of the roar of this silence
he can no longer subdue

Don't think I've stopped loving you
It's not true
My days are sparks from the fire 
Started in my life by you

With open sails I'm drifting
From one sea to another 
And back again 
Like a ship to its harbor

But there are no harbors without sea
You mustn't forget that
Don't think I've stopped loving you
It's not true...
