Absence Doesn't Make the Heart Grow Fonder

I didn't go to school yesterday
Didn't feel like it
Absence makes the heart grow fonder, they say
Nobody was very fond
When I was absent from school with no good reason
Whoever "they" is...
You lied to me

Bedazzled In a Opaque Beauty

Bedazzled in a opaque beauty, trapped deep within the colossal caverns of 
senseless agony.
Lie await the nefarious to bestow, conjuring assailing flames.
The hindered habituated set free above all inversely to conquer, retake reality

Reclamation Project

My invasion
Retake the cake
Shifty snake
Answer the bell
Perpetually on the go
Around the edge
Of certainty’s glow
Burn marks you’ll see
Journey is stark
Through shadows deep
And fading sparks
The line is drawn
The path reclaimed
From fractured ground
I rise unchained

Haunted

Music played
 some haunting melody retake
 stirred my soul alert and wide awake
 aching at all my past mistakes;
a moment came
 singular silence and calm swept along
 helping recognize all that was wrong
 given to forgiveness, flight in song;
the big reveal
 I knew your face
 the soft delicate erase
 of life drifting thru time and space.

go be it

Metaphors are of no use;
symbols but offer excuse,
attempting to cage the breeze,
putting our mind in deep freeze.

The thought of love is not love,
head and heart not hand in glove,
aloof in separation,
distanced from God’s creation.

To be in trance yet awake,
presence seeking no retake,
mood and mode embrace-release,
our bliss drenched soul flows with ease.

Snake Rhymes

I did in my garden see a Snake.
Curled calmly around the gardener's rake.
Knowing that my dear life was at stake,
I beckoned in fright to my son Jake.
"Get the matchbox and fuel for God's sake.
Burn him or precious lives he might take.
Recall the curse that came in the wake
of man's sin for which God did forsake
him in a world he couldn't retake."
But swiftly the Snake made for the lake.

An Angels Reprieve

Stealing your thoughts
a crime of dispassion
the penalty fatal
my name stays unknown

A larcenous caper
whose felony looming
authorities chasing
though lost will they roam

Returning your musings
a word to each notion
attached and delivered
through eyes that retake

Enlightened resplendence
unfenced by Jehovah
no borrowers promise 
— this thief ever makes

For a Song

What would it take
  to go back in time and reminisce,
   do a retake of that very first kiss?
What could make the memories sweeter
  focused on the dreams and hopes of youth
   when love was the only truth.
What should we have done
  in times of trouble and sadness overcome
   with the joy and love of being one?
          We should do it,
           I could do it,
           I would do it
 for love's song.

Rewriting the Past

We can try to change it 

like furniture and rearrange it. 

Like a bad picture 

and retake it. 

Like a bad batch of cookies

 and remake it. 

We can act like it never happened 

and repress it.

Hide it with a joke

 and laugh it. 

Like not being sure of your decision 

and second guess it.

Point all your fingers 

and blame it. 

Wish it would leave through the doors of your mind 

you know stage right exit.
