A pretty colleen from Kilrea,
Went dancing on St. Patrick's Day.
Not asking permission
Was grievous omission.
Dad broke the dance up straight away....

Insult by omission, oozed from her remark
When by chance they happened to pass in the park
Some steps beyond
On him it dawned
That what she said was, "Hello there tall and dark!"...

A day without crisis
without trauma
without upset
without panic
A day without confusion
depression
omission
A day without sadness
catastrophe, 
mistaken identity....
an ordinary day is a blessed event...

Odd character that smacks God’s right hand.
Miserable wretches - the media
Is underhanded.
Spits in the wind; truth is
Suspect…fallacious videos, omissions
Itinerant…on the cutting floor.
Obama speaks —
No one hears his piece.

    Translation is a fine art
      wreaks havoc with volition       

    Errors of commission
      divulging those of omission

A Disciple puts'
           His 
Attributes' into action
     And his things'
Into a power of commission'
       But, a
Missing disciple
    A plain man
Of God persistently
Turn's to a life of omission
      And turn things' too
           And FRO

Looking back, 
my mistakes,
if such they were,
were of omission 
rather than commission.
My caution
and lack of nerve
leaving me
with naught but
a basket full of
might have beens.

Which is why
I must now, 
seize this day
with you.

Sin is committed in thoughts
Words and actions
By the omission of the good that we are obliged to do
Can be committed in three ways
Ignorance
Weakness
Set of Purpose
Cimmitted in weakness is more grave than ignorance
Set of Purpose is more grave than weakness

In the beauty of his obit, (this 
soulful man), there was one omission: 
His soul was purloined in a world 
of privilege, too much permission.
Freddie, where were you when
I was ready.  Now, only your 
music plays in my mind.
There's no rewind.

      for Freddie Mercury w/ love...

Promises shift like
windblown sand skids over the truth
[omission doesn’t count?]
     unspoken untruths rearrange rippled dunes,
chafe cheeks, bloody chins.

A place is saved for you, oh thief of honor,
at the end of a long line
     of perjurers.
You are in just company....

false confessions
toppling earth
stretching lines
of false freedom
about to be broken
expressions sliding onto
waiting red
unhurriedly
dogs meditating
on the long winding
roads
illusions of space
confessions
of the sins of
omission
our grey hairs
are turning
black again-...

Across the bridge


a carriage pulled by two horses.
master and slave
linked in a common
destiny.
One was an icon
held up for us to see
equality
among the two
what should have been done
didn´t happen
guilty by omission.
So hopeless
burning vast bin in the street
is that all?...

In the grey world
You left me a star
I'm no shadow, a silhouette but
Until you breathed colours
Afraid I was gonna disappear 
Like I was blind to me
Now I see you
The way you see me
Across times with no omission
Black was past
White is my dreams
Colours filling in, 
as we connect...

Not bringing along my tool
Has me made a fool:
A gross violator of workers’ first rule,
A copyist of the stubborn mule
And one to again lend time to some school… 
And here I am, seated, “Very Cool”,
Unrestrainedly gazing at a purplish pool, 
Though I’d deserved all but a viewing stool....

We turn a blind eye as she weeps
As she sways and churns in disgust 
We let others harm her

She is engulfed in foreign filth
And we loathe her for it
She is damned to suffer 

All due to our own omission
Our negligent nature

We devour her
And bleed her dry

We need her

The river...

Heating is off this Winter
Future Taxes increase lisp
Release your Criminals early
You're like porridge
were serving your time early

Are you on omission ?
Isms aren't working
Social Democracy has had its day
So much for this spending hole
when you squander it on the Unions

A disciple put's 
       His attributes'
Into action and
    His thing's
Into a power

       And turn's things'

Not bringing along my tool
Has me made a Big fool:
A breaker of workers First Rule
And copyist of The Empty Mue
That should back turn to school…

So unprofessional an omission
That I be quick about its admission
But here I am rather cool,
Placidly surveying a greenish pool
While I had all deserved but a stool
And time to over spirogyra drool....

Shakespeare found nothing esthetic about peripatetic
   Kazantzakis and Joyce found it maudlin, bathetic

Dickens and Dickinson thought it alarmingly phrenetic
   I’d use the word in my poems,     frankly it’s asyndetic*

~Parallel strands of blonde silk hide her vulnerable eyes.
If only to foresee what shall lye ahead.
Surrender to my embrace Ophelia.
Judgement nor prejudice dispel a hearts' affection.
Lay now bound journal.
Rippled with twill,tell your jaded past.
May lips sealed try to speak.
Solace crests upon a subdued soul.
I rest at feet for truth.
Our love lead not for despair.~...
