Made for the healing of
maladies of the flesh.
May also help the mind.
Marketed by greedy
manufacturers who
maybe value dollars
more than human beings.

A Stone Therapy Cure
Heat application

Ocean rocks are balanced
smooth and round.

From thousands of years
of swirling sea water.

Likewise our bodies yearn
for such harmony.

Cool or heat the sea stones
to tone our maladies....

HEAVY

when the greatness of life
feels arduous under mass
weight of onerous days
we pray in tunes
of blue to blank
	out the blaze
		of vehement
			maladies
				that 
                                     plague

2am

In a lost world
vineyards doze
	      fatigued anticipation
of the next poem
or next breath

Until then
I breathe for you
my brother

I breathe and dream
as best one can
for maladies to fly away

and poets to soar in skies
of imaginations
where we are formerly introduced
	by Nuwas

us two...

Listen to poem:

Storms of Normalcy 
David J Walker

Choose your form of
Insanity and
Embrace it

Lace it up like
High-top boots
Lose your view of 
Normality 

And the maladies 
Of societal norms
There will be 
Storms

There will be visions
Of a different future 

That only you can see
When you weather the 
Storms of normalcy...

Keep everything clean and clear
When you see that is very near
As all small details judge the big
May make all to take a deep dig
Premise without dust and clutter 
Lets colourful butterflies to flutter
Wherever we traverse let’s not
Release the CO2 and sneeze shot
We will have no more maladies such
When verse manifold melodies much..!...

How am I to know
What’s wrong with my own mind
The moodiest madmen can’t go
And understand my kind

Just exist is all I do
My maladies stay unnamed
And as the wildest creatures too
My thoughts remain untamed

I write nonsense words and crazy scrawlings
Only I can decode
But through all the madness and sudden bawling
My mind will never unload...

The Show


alone
          living room dark
 pensive


                                                maladies
                         naked death
the devils dancers


images flash
           bright
blindness grips the stage


there is no show
                           sorry
I can not tell you that


            I do not know her...

What is a Poet?

A singer of songs, a caller of warnings;
A crier of tears, a laugher, a weeper.
Lover of life; of nature, of God;
One set apart; scoffed at and shunned.
Sufferer of numberless maladies.
A poet spreads his soul;
Rampant over white paper;

To be wondered at and mocked.
To incite passion, tears, and smiles.

To expound truth and create beauty....

she took a breath thinking of her child self
the lights compelled her to begin
she danced as well as any prima donna
appreciative applause for her troupe well-earned

her daddy was finally getting to watch
his baby girl show off her intense prowess
for angels do not have maladies like blindness right?
She danced in his honor, loving the nod she received from heaven....

lout tout clout
pout mouth shout
draped zeal drooled
pruning punctured pool
hoity hankers hoisted
callous crescendos clothed

eerie passion pulsed
gaunt gifts gulped
tempestuous tongue touched

mystic rhythm moaning
busted, blitzkrieg cloning
muffled maladies glowing

dark dribbles damped
taunted thrills trashed.

Listen to poem:

The gulf between us
is such a yawn.
It's boredom 
drawn out 
in endless re-runs.
Opposites are meant to
attract like magnets,
north and south. 
Right!
But our chasm is abysmal.
It's a melody of maladies
and sick jokes bespoken
by a stand-up
with yawning incompetence
standing on a cliff,
shouting into the distance
while peering into the gulf
of what might have been.
No one's listening.
Right!...

Incurable maladies surround us all 
heavy it is to bear ones or else's fall

why then interfere's distracting faith
the fact of now places impossible case

Miracles phenomena fades in blaze 
Alas soul,
remains in thy kingdoms maze
urging to believe anew relief

put aside all sadness an grief
bethink of joy an pray for glory

never doubt nor worry
an be a part for evermore 
in thy greatness an call...

I   WILL   SAIL.

Today I will sail away
Through dark seas
Out of tiny consciousness
Engulfed in clouded gale
Relying on my fragile sails.

Hemmed in by sterile body & mind
Within thousands woes & despair
With no help to cure my maladies
Except myself and the unknown.

Concept upon concept to de-create
Mystifying an inconceivability code
 Worldly goods gone in sour mood
In search of destiny of no abode....

Do flower essences cure
maladies?

Flower essences made from
Edible flowers are safer.
Rose,lavender,rosemary.
Cover in a glass with pure 
water and position in direct
sunlight for a few hours.
The warmth of the sun extracts
the essence from the flowers
into the water.
Wella,you have flower essence!

Unless preserved,this essence 
stays fresh for only a day.
Dr. Edward Bach's research
was the inspiration....

Sanitation and Health

The Sanitation Department merely manages our waste
It will not teach us to reduce the output (advising, “Eat less!”)
The Health system manages our obesity & diseases;
It will not teach us to prevent diseases, prevent obesity -
(unless it can start another symptoms-managing scheme)
So there is a similarity with health and waste (O crap!)
They are managed by experts, who won’t cure our maladies!

Here they partake                     
Here they undertake                                                        
The populace for claimed change
But no valuable range
         
The undertakers often masquerade
The masquerades parade
In-advance will in will
          
The will unveils self-interests
For youth no job invests
For populace no dining table

For Gerinians maladies incurable  
V.I.P Gerinians are equal
In Gerinian all are not equal...

When this life is over, whatever be my fate,
I have a few God questions I'd like answered at heaven's gate.
Why do some live long lives while others leave so quickly?
Why let children suffer with maladies, so sickly?
Does a soul choose its birth family?
Will mankind ever live together peacefully?
Is there truly a hell where bad people go to fry?
What happens to animals when they die?
I'll hold my thoughts for eternity if God would only answer, mercifully....
