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.

Wounded, woeful woman.
Hostage of hindered hope.
Yowling, yearning, for you.

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.

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-

I do not know?
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?

Blank verse
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

My parents, on a sudden whim,
(apparently?) decided to bring me
into the world as a helpless victim
of their boredom and indifference
without first seeking my permission
and about whom I knew absolutely
nothing. Now I ask you, was that selfish
omission an auspicious start to life?

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

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.~

DUST LOVE
Awake at once and dismissing affection
Your adulation, my crush-delight
Idolatry, inclination, unfettered rapture
I’m wild for worship
Your light lashes move me, pull me in
Anticipation, key
Knots of wills and kiss me please
Omission of echoes, inhale the ocean breeze
Masked in bliss laced with vicious
Black steel with harsh hot thrills and the
Two barstools, waiting idly by
