The convicted murders’
Harden smile and 
Reckless eyes
The witness
Testifies,
At his trail...

In waking, tough to swallow
In sleep, liquid pools
to be tasted, drank silver,
only to metal harden....

The cool chill of the winter
Shivers down, the spine of trees
Leaves harden with frost

As sun brings warmth
Helping grass from coming cold...

afraid of dreams cause of fear
betrayal harden

I harden myself
To ease the pain.
To lessen the weight.
The weight that is not mine to carry.
Every tear,
Every sorrow,
Clings to me
As if it were my own....

Ed’s suicide attempts have to harden.
So Ed said to his wife “beg your pardon,
can you give me a cup
to fill up with ‘roundup”.
“Just don’t have your last pee on my garden!”...

A hard block gaping holes harden matters;
Seeping through encased in liquid softens;
This is the reaction of a sponge and water;

Mushy insides tend to harden up 
if all your oxygen is stopped. 
Allow yourself to fall, feel.
All your computations 
are as dry as math.
It’s not a sum 
when it’s a 
pair of 
hearts....

There once was a zealous game warden
Whose tiny heart was very harden
His so clever wife surely said 
At his death would be well fed
Charging for _iss on grave with organ

Just for fun!!...

crumbs fall by the way
  into nostalgia's cracks

brush them aside
  they matter not

the swell of the bread
  aromas waft, mingle

crumbs harden
  sweep them aside
as if the bread matters...

with dark glimpses of mourning
harden arteries

Ground fenced becomes a fall garden
deterring squirrels' and rabbits' play.
Guard the soil that winter will harden
defeating Indiana clay.
Gilded tulips (unsightly bulbs' pardon)
deserve a diadem come May.

his heart is hardened
 rock solid emotionless
 no apathy found 
~
concrete thoughts bottled  
spirits rains in lots distrust 
hardened his heart is

Physical Love Rock Hard Real Love Spiritual and Eternal


love is like a rock
a harden mass of earth stone
solid and lasting
like body ever after
yet the spirit eternal

rain pattering, fogging on the window, 
musing on a gray day.
my soul swimming in mud, dropped
left to harden
when the sun shines.

rocks have the souls
abandoned by tired
seekers and wanderers without
a place to hold to 
themselves....

Once together, now apart,
Harden your heart,
To me, don't come snivelling back,
I don't cut your terms of endearment any slack,
Let's not reunite,
I still sleep with a light,
Once together, now apart,
Nothing colder than an ex-wife's heart!!!!...

what about those truths
hidden in our younger tooth
biting. mouth open

laughter fills my hair
as molars about to crush
harden substances

kneading to be smashed
garnish words of harden facts
open mouth biting

As the ice began to harden
And the bitter breezes blew
In the lady's winter garden
A cold dove whispered 'Coo'
Oh, when will it be summer
The wistful lady cried
Not for ages 
It's a bummer
Said the dove
And promptly died

If you treat others with respect and value their uniqueness,
they will go thru walls for you,
and their hearts will sing.
If you treat others like children, ridiculing their uniqueness,
they will build walls between you,
and their hearts will weep, then harden....

Footprints in the snow or a ripple in the creek-
The wet cement of thoughts begin to harden into feelings.
Feelings on the sidewalk are flooded by words. 

For some reason I have no hesitation.
Affirmation blooms like a rose.
Heat from a flame and the sound of rain....

So I cry
God has given me tears
This is why all men should shed a tear
Good for the soul to survive 
Cleansing of a swollen harden heart  
 Crying eyes do not lie
When you look into them into your soul

Crying
