Cantor, cantor, cantor,
Allen Ginsberg was a
Cantor, and the song
he sang to you and me
was one that really mattered.
I AM LOST
ALL IS GONE
ANYTHING THAT MATTERED
WASHED AWAY
INTO THE DARK TIDE
TANGLED METAL
SILENCED LOVE
THIS TWISTED HEARTBREAK.
We were BARE FOOT in the grass.
Seasons came. Seasons WANED.
AND over again.
Once more.
Shoes removed.
GIGGLES AND CHATTER
Nothing else MATTERED.
Sad on gloomiest of days
the simple colour crimson makes me smile
~ who knew so little mattered

A ghost we saw on Halloween
Fondled a girl and fled the scene
She said she was flattered
But what really mattered
Was not knowing where it had been . . . .
filled blurry eyes
this embrace
old view prevails
stoical
by recount
shuffling selves
hadn't we known
truth mattered
then it crawled underneath
and died
You wanted more sugar
I preferred stronger tea
It mattered
And it didn't
We couldn't agree
Better spilled
Stained
Insignificant
Heart wasn't what mattered
it was good enough for usage
until it wasn't to their advantage.
Frail trust shattered,
pieces of one life left scattered.
Limp from the sweat
of a sweltering Summer
we staggered into Fall
fanned by cooling breezes ~
Summer never mattered at all
They say it didn't matter
But it rocked your core
You walked on shaky ground
Your feet were in those shoes
So if it rattled you, it mattered
“I wish I could have taken you more places.” he said
as into her eyes he stared…
“Don’t you know it never mattered where I was.” she said,
"as long as you were there.”
The victims' blood is violently splattered,
As his reputation is totally shattered.
Sycophants to the hills have all scattered,
What happened in the past really mattered.
The body remembers...
What the mind politely forgets.
How rain once meant survival
How cold once meant fear.
How being held
Was once the only gold that mattered.
NOT for a contest
If I kept a diary no one would see
all the things that mattered to me
I think most of you might even agree
that's why a diary comes with a key
to begin at the end, on the other side of pretend
we toast all that once was but could never be again
while in the shadows of our merry feast,
lurks all that mattered the least
Trump To Curry Favors
Trump likes to curry many favors;
Never mattered what were flavors;
Owned almost all;
Short, talll or small;
Soem even were Lord and Saviors.

My Heart Is
Stained and the color is pain
My Heart Is
Shattered and to you it never mattered
My Heart Is
Searching and it never discovers
My Heart Is
Aching and it never recovers
Form:
As the bark of fear ascends
callow pages crease
illustrating a youthful doxy
abreast a sheet of smoke
waltzing betwixt velveteen lips
as if tomorrow’s mistakes
mattered yesterday
My soul
was tattered
and easily
shattered~
not that it
mattered
as long
as I was
flattered
by your
scattered
attention;
you left
my heart
battered~
you bastard!
Does my opinion still count at eighty-four
Or am I from the old school to be ignored
Life once positive rated
Now life's been updated
Things once mattered now leave me bored
just for a moment nothing mattered-
in the silence,quietness stirs
impressions of summer-
whisper in the breeze
They say love is like peeing on your uniform
Everyone can see it but only you feel the warmth
It felt so good it did
When you were a kid
Nothing else mattered, not even your warts
As the candidate yammered on
His opponent stood his ground
When the first ran out of time
In a flash the second chimed ~
“I’d always thought a man’s word was his bond”
jasmine petals scattered in a pool
by a broken heart taken for the fool
gentle ripples bathed in golden sunlight
life in pieces taking flight
dreams shattered
when love mattered

What we were, we are no more,
Jesus has come and gone and will return;
this day our soul longs for.
What mattered once, matters no more,
for in eternity we stand;
simply secured in the blood of The Lamb.
