Day of days to cry.
Day of reckoning that will be
When we all stand guilty
Before throne of mercy
Our eternal destiny
To decide
Is he....

O Dayton My Dayton
Memorial Day
mother nature’s reckoning
is gain worth such loss
de-constructing life with limb
Collision course toward ourselves

Reckoning
Redolent reverie
Rain-soaked in raspberry
Roses most delicate
Runes woven from star seeds
Refulgent petals swirl
Russet thorns of my heart
Regrets etched in kohl quartz...

Day of Reckoning
The hours they pour
Grains spotlight each moment
That plundered a life
Then lied to deny
The hours pour down
And tides do reveal
The Judge sees the heart
Hidden from men...

Reckoning Storm
With eyes that see and ears that hear,
but hearts that look away
Each child unkept—all life bereft,
to rue these mournful days

Dreamland
find yourself in whispered places,
the way out guarded by your own reckoning.
you bundle yourself in uncharted pleasures; the door is blocked you can't get out.
you don't really want to either....

A Lovely Little Daydream
Floating between the cottony clouds
Perception of the beloved
Lingers in the dreamer mind
Reckoning about sight
Deliriously
Raising the hands
To caress
Simple

Depressed and Stressed
Depressed and Stressed
Whatever I do seem to end up depressed;
Certain things about it must be stressed;
Always beckoning,
Day of reckoning;
Disasters are produced when poorly dressed.

the ponding - a period of deconstruction: A Boketto Poetic Form

moist manna seized in vast rounds
twice arrested sights cascade

a sheltered reckoning breathes
no regrets prepped ascensions

Pirates
Pirates don't roam the open seas anymore
They secretly pirate movies, that's bad to the core
No conscience it seems
They continue to stream
Days of reckoning are coming, that's for damn sure...

Shepherd's Watch
A voice for the voiceless
whose cry still unheard
Alone in the womb
but blessed by the Word
Defending the helpless
as murderers loom
Divinity watching
— a reckoning soon

I refuse to remember
what I can never forget
Words lost to my memory,
lined deep with regret
The faster I write,
the deeper I hide
A reckoning hovers

Hallows Keep
Precipitation, a drop of gold
Water pours down, almost tenfold
Standing in silence at hallows keep
Scarce crowds gather where families sleep
The silent reckoning of murdered smiles
As brave men lay, spread for miles...

in an ocean of jackboots and hate
May there be a reckoning and accounting...

Reckoning
Doors creak
Floors squeak
The heartbeat thuds again
Fingers itch
Mouths twitch
The door swings in the rain
Open gaping
All men calling
Come the judgements passed
One last step
Towards the brink
There is but one last chance...

Haiku For Isidora's Moonlight Smoke:
A stellar pathway:
No rain in the sky to douse
the moons umbrella.
Hoary puffs racing
through glowing rings, while she smokes:
Lunar reckoning.
Coconut palms wave
their sleek fronds in the high wind:
Long midnight goodbyes....

Tick, Tick, Tick
Knowing the answer,
excuses imbue
The right thing for others,
never following through
A feigned double standard,
the past in pursuit
Reckoning scheduled
—payment en route
