Renders me still.
The feeling of his lips
Makes my stomach flip.
With every little brush of skin
A fire is lit....

A Truism

No apology,
Ever renders invalid anothers threat.
Nor does our saying we forgive, mean we’ll forget.

thanks to that turncoat, Kucinich,
selling that socialist streak
that renders everyone weak
like Popeye without his spinach....

  renders each one completely unfit
To make sense of our time here on earth
  link them together from the day of your birth...

in the air I breath.
A smile plays on his face,
and I stand there,
starstruck.
The light of his halo
renders me helpless
and I surrender to him....

The warm, gentle touch of his hands on my cheek,
renders me speechless, under the spell of his gaze,
as if peering into my soul were of a simple matter,
slowly overtaking every doubt, I once held within....

If a man caresses a woman's body he gives her pleasure

If he touches her heart he offers her happiness

If he elates her soul he renders her blissful!

who is this shadow
who haunts my fitful sleep?
who renders me awake at night
and brings my heart to weep...

who is this forsaken
who's exiled from my life? 
who bears bitter memories
creates nothing but strife...

cloud calling rock range
nimble footed hideaway--
climbers cold mistress

stony faced beauty
brilliantly immutable--
renders me breathless

hawks moon-shadow leap
glacial peak to sky unscathed--
cannot hide from me...

A woman's beauty renders men disarmed,
and opens their hearts to great harm,
and their voluptuous nature enchants them from afar.

Women the enslavers of mankind
seduce us with their beautiful forms.
What can we do but love?...

i watch you
through a palette
of my thoughts
gently caressing
the edges
of dreams

your stroke
tender
like fingertips
across flesh
renders me
in tones
of dusk
as you outline
my soul
through
a sketch
of mind...

Astronomy renders
Alluring views from Earth.
Astral constellations 
Aloft in cosmic skies.
Astrology readers
Arrange karmic charts that
Affirm celestial force.

Missing You
The repeated song of my heart...
Year in!
Year out!
The melody gets stuck in my brain
Like a stratched LP
I have made up my own words with
The refraim, "Come back to me!"
Ah! The silence of death renders
No answer!

Forgive us oh, mighty Time,

For

We, thoughtless humans,

Constantly

Complain of your passing that renders us older

Instead of

Thanking you for letting us live a year longer!

If we account
compulsion renders us
tame
A haze engulfs unwitting
thoughts
Of seers our mazy lives
tire

If we speak
our crude torment ensues
Corrected speech and
chains resume
Of grief a woven tale
will craft

If not
we must this day retract......

Listen to poem:

fog and rain at the beach
until the sunshine returns

sand crystals soak up
each ray and twinkle

and soon the breeze
renders its warm caress

sands shift almost giddy
without a care in the world

Poetry in its essence, 
—renders itself obsolete

Transporting the reader, 
  beyond words though profound

Casting off its burden
  of expressive supplication

Pure thought and pure feeling,
—symbiotic abound

A consignment on foreign soil, arrogated from house and home
Introduction in the blindness of night, freedom lost and spirit alone
Evil now renders its hand, survival consumes the affected
Divergent from fear and pain, escape becomes inspected

A man who has two loves
Is as a man who serves two masters.
When he is loving the first one,
The other is hated and despised.
Then when he loves the other,
The first one is betrayed with lies.
Thus!  the labor force renders disasters
To him who serves two loves....

Listen to poem:

Heavy hearts, ripped apart, lie scattered, splattered.
Fledgling feelings failed to bring blossom blooms.
Longing love left lingering
on the vine, fraught fruit, wrinkling withered.
No noble rot renders,
to save savor in wasted wine.
Fate faded, flame flicked down to off....
