In my old age
I have become bitter,
and disinclined
to hear pleadings from my sage..
It's only winter's cold curse,
how I long for summer's rays
to warm my soul
and slay my heart's malaise.

Angel of the streets
demon in the fortress
Darkness hides the garden
Grace a fallen wish
Voices in the alley
pleadings last communion
Wings that fight to open
— fire on the wind

Obsessed by my obsessions
to point of being swept away
If only I were capable
of living a different way
Despite all of my pleadings
seems no matter how hard I pray
This driving force of focus
still define’s my life today.

A battered child I am;
Bruised all over my frail body;
I have longed to be cared for
And yet they choose to ignore.
My pleadings are useless;
My cries won’t help.
Be quiet, heart!
Let silence be your drug.

Hiding between imprisoned lines,
a fugitive of verse
turning my back on pleadings made,
musings that amerce
The lengthy sentence of my mind,
fleeing my recall
to leave the spoken word confined
—released to scale the wall

Wrapped inside a moment,
reasons tied the bow
Excuses thrown into the trash,
where wasted pleadings go
The gift of time majestic,
when given free of tense
A present there beneath your tree
—its treasure heaven sent

GARAGE SALE
Things
They are staring at me
Pleading to please use me!
One year, two years, three years
Had passed
Things, they are still ogling at me.
Garage sale today
Things, I listen to your pleadings
Yes, I will take you out
Give you away with a heavy heart!

Your pleadings vanquished in thin air
From the clamor of conflicts long ago
O’ to be the victor over death
Yet the grief inside; yours to know
You sacrificed for freedom sake
Stood your ground most resolute
Your splendor set before the dawn
The suffering now yours to rebuke

My heart bled
and writing
was an open wound
As words
poured out
in hemorrhaged pleadings
No suture
or hemostat
clotting their flow
The nearer
the end
the harder it pumped
In gushing
pulsations of
finality
Bleeding out
what time
— could never give back

What would i ask my soul
What words would plaster over cracks and cuts
that binds it together
Where can i find it
for when i look inside
echoes of my sight rebound
And if it could be found
would it turn around
Ignore my pleadings
to be healed
Soulless creature
forced to watch
with empty jealous eyes

Where are you
my sweet, sweet friend?
my life is void without you
oh! Summer rose, I need you
It doesn't matter if I'm grey
and you are in your prime
i'm falling to my kneels
where are you my friend?
Don't you hear my pleadings
I don't care what people feel
I'm falling to my kneels
where are you my summer rose?

Verse
A haunting melody plays on and on in my head,
Is it a message or a phrase I should know or had said.
Words of a song keep repeating over and over to me,
Is it just a song or are those words trying to reach out to me.
Is it the pleadings of a lost song crying out to be set free.
Is it all real or just a fantasy

Mesmerized by his own success,
swimming naked and alone in the dark
Drowning in what he forever professed,
he rose and fell with each critic’s remark
Hypnotized while diving for fame,
he sank while caught in the tide
His pleadings washed up, divested and bare,
exposed—with nowhere to hide

My heart is filled with real thankfulness
bowing before you Lord majestic and great
every breath breathed comes from your hand
all of our pleadings never answered too late
you're so kind gracious merciful full of love
thank you my Lord truly my head of state
(Six line prayer thanking the Lord for everything I have received from him.)

Diverse people come in and out
Things in life they want to find out
In the prayer room so silent
They talk to God so resilient
There they can kneel down as they pray
Ask the Holy Spirit to stay
Pleadings they release in such cry
In faith they do it in great try
Some come in to sing and worship
Praise God for beating the hardship

Through Tin Hearts,
shallow pleadings
wander unwillingly with time,
in concert with
a melancholy spectre
of Love's past.
Surely, it must not
be too late
to borrow these moments
nor to clear
the hollowness
that echoes from
the smithery of despair.
Empty of it's consortion ,
Hope desires respite.
Loneliness,
on the other hand,
always has
an eager
companion.

Free verse
I heard a gentle voice within
Its politeness stood apart,
It urged me that I listen close
To the pleadings of my heart.
The din around had long stifled
What my fate had in its store,
But the voice inside knew it all
And it knew so ever more.
I chose the wisdom of this world
But ignored the Zen within,
Spent endless years to know this truth
Oh what a grievous sin!

Verse
O Jesus, my Lord, and today, here I am
Seeking mercy, only, in your holy name
Please, hear me, O hear me, when I call
And to thee, I pray, lift me, from my fall
O Jesus, my Lord, my spirits unyielding
To the Father, mediate all my pleadings
In my sufferings and pains, comfort me
Embrace me, once again, I will be free
Tell me…O tell me, that, I am not alone
Lead me…O lead me, so, I’ll be home
Amen

Lyric
In the Song Of The Muses,
the Prince heard his Queen
Now locked in a convent,
her beauty unseen
The tower lay distant,
its ramparts on guard
Just one point of entry
a hero’s reward
The mist in the valley
its prison to free
Through clouds in the distance
her pleadings, her screams
Two miles before him
all love waits abed
The future unfolding
—his destiny wed

In the song of the antelope,
the Prince heard his Queen
Now locked in a convent,
her beauty unseen
The tower still distant,
its ramparts on guard
Just one point of entry
a hero’s reward
The mist in the valley
her prison unseen
Through clouds in the distance
her pleadings, her screams
The miles before him
twin antlers ahead
His future unfolding
—his destiny wed

O life !
What expresses you?
Tears or joy, death or brightness,
slavery or freedom, blood or sand.
I find you or not,
situations, circumstances,
pleadings before cruel death.
The heart of a child or hidden in the smile of my beloved.
I search you,
For time and time to come,
dawns, days, twilights,
even when dreams in the deserted night touch my unconscious eyes.
O life !
What expresses you?
Winning or losing,
darkness or colors,
or you yourself.

Blank verse
There’s a voice deep inside me
still trying to get out
Ignoring my pleadings,
it screams and it shouts
Its call is the loudest
on those darkest of nights
When my mind seeks new refuge
from Seraph’s delight
I toss and I turn,
but it speaks louder still
As its words start to age
from new vision distilled
No barter or denial
will turn back its call
The Muse is on fire
—my pen not to stall
