Short Maligns Poems

Imagination reads between the lines
And there finds the secret fantasies
The coded meanings, hidden signs,
Imagination reads between the lines,
Discovers the message that maligns
Often writers’ concealed anomalies,
Imagination reads between the lines
And there finds the secret fantasies.

Dreams of Peace 

                         Peace is an illusive, transitory state of mind
                         Equality fiercely sought, for all humankind

Tyranny's voice deflects and maligns 
Propaganda alters the minds
The terms of freedom redefined
Automatons robbed of their souls...

Oh death why are you painted so black
you are white, a relief from hoary age 
and pain wracked days. you are life.

You are  a door another change
a movement on, not black.
Not black as twisted priests would have.
Not dark , not sin, not emptiness.

You are the next stage, the new birthday
show me, guide me, take me when my time comes
but not before, let me have this to the end
Let me love all of this as I love thee....
