Insurrection

There once was a king who told lies, 
like a moth chasing gaslight they rise, 
ever drawn to the flame, 
unaffected by shame, 
true democracy labors and sighs.

New Mystery

In the un-engraven word
Muddling tensions persist.
Joy labors not,
But joy can be found through labor.
The grays are shining at night.
The grays are shining at night.

Ah, but there is hope - put a cork in volcanoes - analyze the rest

And the golden dawn appeared as the bright

Blessed to be perpendicular, to labors of love,

Wild Horses

beauty in motion
wild horses roaming freely
galloping across the plains
not meant to saddle
for mans’ labors or pleasures
nor whispers of promises
man cannot fulfill 
the call of the wild
like a shout from the heavens

Even in quietness we

Sometimes it’s just a

Our life in eternity.

Maturity


Rosebud so compressed

impatiently, your fullness

labors to unfold . . .

How short the ripened glory

before your tired petals fall.

May

. for public domain

May memories of our time together
last longer than the flowers' bloom.

May the labors of our work together
last far beyond our destined tomb.

May stories of our lives together
weave well onto Heaven's Loom.

it’s in the nature of life:
seasons come and go:-

Seek a saintly life,

Labors of Love As You Wait

Labor and perform your duties as you patiently wait
to enter that Divine , Heavenly, and Pearly Gate.
Continually be clothed in your Spiritual Armor,
knowing that Satan is tricky and quite a charmer!

Hercules

Hercules
Hero mortal of Greek Mythology
Hera his mother jealous of him 
Had left him in the woods to expire
Hidden and fed from Minerva’s nipple
He is imbued with strength
Hence “The Strongest of all Gods”
His twelve labors a penance fulfilled

Moment

Gentle tempest blows

Lapping waves crest

Sand flows from the sloping shore

Pray thee content in thine slumber

Protest not morning-stars resolute gaze

See now tempest sated

Rest now your labors complete.

A Tear

I surrender sorrow
welcoming the grief
of your touch
my heart beats erratic
breath labors aching sides
and yet discomfort
is intoxicating
in simplicity
too incredible to deny
let eyes swell
burst in reverence
there is no shame 
to shed a tear

The Selfish Poet

I hope it gains for me a kiss
or some other kindliest bliss;
for labors done with poetry,
a reward for word chivalry.
Coins not needed for the lines,
that’s not what an old heart pines;
some say there is another reason,
to seek again a magic season.

Strength of a Nymph

It is very strong I presume
I see it at work self motivated
Carrying elephants on the head
Yet it is just a nymph creature

It is very strong I can believe
I see it happily lost in its work 
When I ask why such it labors so
It tells me, “life is a mystery”

Evening

Lights in windows come alive
Children go indoors for supper
Shadows stretch, sun slowly hides
Birds are winging home
Labors called inside
And the dark side of our valley welcomes the evening star
