His romantic renditions

Touch the very soul.

starting new traditions
without any renditions
or horrible superstitions
after much cogitation
not fallacy or fiction
just our inclination
and this fascination
based on laws of attraction...

The taste of tangerines
coloring open draught
a delectable, yet sensual
snatch of beauty
running in the deep,
chasing timeless renditions
of nature's parade

Insanity drawing in on us,
measured by our lives in hell.
millions in an omnibus,
order, sinking, entropy.
renditions of a crumbling soul,
tumbling in to the abyss.
always taking draining tolls,
lingering for but a moment....

As swift behooves,
In challenging quest,
Competitive hearts,
Race their best,
A treasure to win,
One measurable test,
For equine ones,
The World's Best.

The words we use
	are never really ours.
Always part and pieces of someone else
	who passed through our lives;
and although we seek to be original
	those images and personage 
encircle us
	rewording to new renditions
of the message and the meanings 
        still the same....

I see your smile
It embraces me
Tender earlobes listening
~
Holy-Wholly sweet lips speaking
Life
God’s mouth speaks life
~
His breaths in us
God listens graces us eyes vison
His Holy renditions

I sit here pandering
among the crowds.

loud renditions of
my relatives who may
join with me in set.

singing

steely eyed blindness
accompany us.
 
banjo displays
it's well tuned melodies.
violin always is with me.
 
I have my spot between
a rock and a hard place.

To once again hear the renditions of the
songbird’s morning trill as leaves upon the
trees tremble in triad tones within the
moorside tempest; and lyrical waves in unsung
meadows symbolically crash against limestone walls
and telephone wires in viola whines
an archaic symphony.

endless

Waking nightmares
singing lullaby's
inside of my head

A demented, Gothic opera
Broadway renditions
propagates death

Quantum variations of sadness
Spotlight from starlight upon the stage
Opening for the tango of his soliloquy

Fragmented perceptions
Heart-beats like violin strings
To the tragic vocals of...

A single life...

A role is fashioned for each of us homosapiens to portray
Though what if such a role ‘twas fashioned
by a fallacious organization of fabulists
Who decode billions of renditions of one monograph
for narcissistic purpose of monetary gain?
Naked fidelity shan’t be placed upon a hollow existence
Nor should verses be fibbed
Why can’t religion be real again?...

this page is bare in memory
you can write from abditory
a sonnet, lyrics, a poem of life
I read it all, reflecting

yes, I think you write for me
interpretation, of what I believe
I like to think I left a mark
tearing across your heart

renditions that I know aren't true
I've never meant that much to you
and still I read and what it seems
is all imagination...

Raspberries and Lilacs

Wanting to go back,
heart snags on reality...
wanting to unravel time,
pluck the years off
one by one
Better times paint
pictures in the mind,
but they are air-brushed
renditions

Wanting to bathe
in the perfume of lilacs
Raspberry essence
No choice now

Walk to knock 
on Death's black door
Denied entrance
No gilded invitation
No crashing this party...

I met a man, forever wishin' 
Who could not align of his condition
His head , he knew, was in his mouth
Which certainly hurt his health

He found a friend on the roof
Whose shoe, exactly, fit his tooth,
Together, they found a prognostician
To advise of their conditions

“Lucky, both, I will paint your perditions
Toes in mouths, with arty renditions,
Perhaps, you’ve heard of me, 
I’m Dali from Paree”...

I do not like you,
I could write a thousand words,
But then I'd be inviting you,
To stir in my thoughts

I'd rather root for the underdog,
That cares about others,
That doesn't discriminate,
Seeks peace, not war, that frowns on hate

When election day arrives,
As an American citizen I'll abide,
To voting on rules and policies and politicians,
I want the future to break ground,
I don't want another one of histories renditions....

Saw the fireworks on TV
Exploding o'er the city;
The river and the bridges
Made the scene look extra-pretty.

Yet it was not at all the same
As watching it outside,
When every boom that thunders
Makes the crowd electrified.

The television played some songs
With patriotic flair,
Renditions so pathetic
It was hard for us to bear.

I guess I can't complain too much - 
At least I saw the show,
But seeing it in person
Is the better way to go....

days of fasting overlap
prayers offered to fill a gap
in lives surrounded by a wrap
of tradition and modern seditions

today, Lent and Ramadan bring
times of reflection and for some, to sing
folks set aside the mundane, for a better thing
to live special days, mingled with cherished conditions

like ships passing in the night
sojourners waiting for the morning light
take time to reflect on another’s might
seeking the Divine with community renditions...

In the midst of all this chaos
When frustration’s only grown, 
Let us pause to stop and listen
To the lovely saxophone.

Adolphe Sax was its inventor
Back in 1846
And his instrument remains
One of musicians’ favorite picks.

Charlie Parker, Clarence Clemons,
John Coltrane and Kenny G
Are a few whose sax renditions 
Have made music history.

So forget this doomed election.
Take a breath and clear your head
With the melancholy musings
Of a saxophone instead....
