Victim of passion,
purveyor of lies

Betrayer of talent,
bending the I

Captive obsession,
perspective now gone

Fear self-indicts
—when right turns to wrong

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2017)...

A peerless purveyor
pared pears on a pier.
Pierre, his au pair,
peered on, it appears.
Not payers, both players
prayed pious petitions;
For the nonce, no pence brought,
naught came to fruition.

gilded servant
hyperbolic purveyor
sculpting truth

liberal spender
filthy lucre
licentious gain

No prisoner of faith was he

No member of religious ties

No hypocrite for all to see

No purveyor of ancient lies

No prayers spouted forth day by day

No sheep to be branded a fool

No collector of tithes to pay

No credo but the golden rule...

Striking colors of bloom
all consuming flowers of beauty are out on display
Mother Nature wordless world of interplay
what warm affection you hear her say in your day's passageway
Her glorious world of eye art of elegance and eloquence
flowering purveyor of love, peace for all your day's...

And the praying mantis is baying
for an excursion to sunnier chimes
The Sun goes down
bored casting shadows
Have you heard this one?
obscene said the Minister for good taste.
And the Moon wishes it was somewhere else
as our sprawling vows break up
like the crumbling of rocks
Fortitude dear one
said the purveyor
never to raise again...

Interpretation ?

Or

Revelation ?

Let me be the judge

It's me selling this story

I embody the power and the glory

This is my show

I alone know

Don't you know 

This is my pulpit 

This is my version of the book

I am a Lion

Hear me roar

Place your faith in me

God has entrusted me

I am the purveyor of all I see

This is what I studied to be

The pious of the masses

With rose tinted glasses...

ensnared I submitted to prayer
impaired, tho I shared
unfair to the slayer
I had my faith
That allows me grace
In placed I played solitaire with the soothsayer
My choice, my voice…
Get thee behind me Satan
You naysayer, purveyor I shall not entertain your questionnaire;
For whether on my knees, laying down or standing  (I  forswear )  
 
I shall ALWAYS be in PRAYER

10/23/19

Mind tormented with stresses of the day.
Misled truths and thoughts in disarray.

A purveyor of lies, they are to me.
Unfairly treated, their so-called bribery.

Against a wall, repeatedly my head pounds.
Nothing is played out right, revenge on rebound.

Just let me go to collect my dignity.
Your fibs just keep adding up the ante.

I am spent and somber, from your wrong dealings.
Please just let me go from your mental beatings....

Often people ask me
What it is I do
Poet of the times
Purveyor of the truth

Peeling back the onion skin
Carving at the rhyme
Pouring drinks of imagery
Squeezing out the line

Taking out the sickle
Knocking down the weeds
Till I uncover the beauty of
Hidden treasures underneath

Often people ask me
What it is I see
In the ink of illusion
Known as poetry

I say the line of work I'm in
Suits this poet fine
Where so often I catch myself
Working overtime...

An unavoidable state is the disorder 
of entropy 
Cosmic matter is hurtling there with 
unseemly velocity
All heavenly bodies seen in the galaxy
Have a date with entropy historically
Entropy is working even for you
When the mirror confirms lines more 
than a few 
Entropy has a place for each cosmic 
speck
The horse called Gravity is the purveyor 
on the trek
In time all will be tossed in a black hole, 
atoms to rearrange
Where endless recycling begins 
into another Big Bang...
