That has given him fame, perhaps infamy
When he’s mad or chagrined
He’s inclined to break wind 
With a sound like a Beethoven symphony...

We set out on a love spree
For eternity

Blinded by no tear
We will always remain near
Never showing fear

You have not left me
We survive in infamy
Bloody destiny...

Great Nebula
Stellar nursery
Cradle to grave
Clouds of infamy
Entomb Orion

Born of Bulls Hyde
Stung to die

The peaceful sky

Pure as the driven snow, no naughty imagery
Bikinis, not a chance
No extra tight pants
This distorted view of life will go down in infamy...

A day
Yesterday
2400 hours long
didn't talk to my baby
stayed up all night
making her a tape
hoping everything's okay
my mind was just agape
that's all I have to say
today is a virgin day....

The best thing of all …
 a memory treasured
The worst thing of all …
a memory shamed
Blessing the one
cursing the other
To live on beyond us
— in praise or blame

A hot summer afternoon
A news flash around noon
John Lennon shot dead
For infamy instead
Mark Chapman for the kill
For him just the thrill
And we lost a treasure
Gone from the world forever.

Perfidious infamy
Designs derogatory
Promotion of anti-culture
Nomenclatural delinquency
Advance ultimate heresy
Sub-humanic conclave
Intentions for a world grave
Noisesome clutch of vultures.

Colors in the sky
Red dots winged evil
Black stench of flaming fear
Rainbowed path of burning oil
Whistling sting of shrapnel’s stolen lives
A sunny Sunday gone wrong
The tattered flags
RED  WHITE  and  BLUE

Ginger ‘s hair now grey,  bragging
     Impishly, how she  had worn a mini
     Never  short of partners  when
     Going out until small hours dancing
     Enjoying  the infamy of being a rebel  the
     Rosy cheeked lady recalled yesteryear...

infamy

the war to end all wars
did not
thus are the endless battles
ever fought
for we refuse to learn
lessons taught
by empty windows draped
with golden stars
by those who carry still
war’s hidden scars

You've been reckless
like a marsh fever
You've got the infamy
Did you really need
that Hollywood look
Being with you 
makes it hard
Your eyes of blue
are a culpable blame,
You gallivant around
Your furtive dream is over
The Sun is an aside
Solitary you run...

The golden bell clangs and a name, is read aloud.
Like human incense, in the shape of a lovely
heart-cloud.

Many want to forget America's day of infamy.
But to family and friends, each name bears much 
love and eternal dignity.
