When Linda Hand met Peter Hyde
Friends believed she would be his bride
Without any dough
Love melted like snow
And then - brokenhearted - they died....

I read an old story I wrote in a note book,
it was from fourth grade,
I think,
and it was like reading dome foriegn script.
Have I really changed that much?...

Everyone, surely knows,
after the war, 
over the lost blood will the peace be restored 
even though it is an enormous pain
it will be shown a great reward and gain...

A blank page...
                                                     
Fill it with tears...

Age old story...

Who cares?

Only the crier,....

The reader quickly turns the page....

Once knew this fellow named Fred
But sadly poor Fred is now dead
His devious wife
Stabbed Fred with a knife
Preferred a stud with a new weapon instead

Nearly everyday, the 
     nascency of new lives 
         never fails to inspire;
Nature's numinous blush 
     narrates an old story -
Nightingale or nacre, 
     noble designs of God.

which window looks from the moon
far away desert
cycle of different approaches
light breaking speed
a bee buzz
now an old story
among the galaxies
non-abandoned orbits
senseless noise
one more star is drifting

the world is not to care...

Carbohydrates, caffeine and chocolate

Crave, create and crash
The season of darkness upon us
Time for a hundred yard dash

To the food mart
Fill up the cart
With stimulants and cheer

Same old story, 
same solution
Just a different year...

Happy New Year..!!

The old story:

Out with the old

In with the new..

Illusory time

Provides the

Apparent

Separation of years

And scenes and colors

And seems as

Inexpressible

Joy dressing as 

What is happening

In exhilaration and

Shadow......

Christ Jesus is His name,
Changing lives is His game!

His story on my heart do tell,
Obeying His Spirit to do well!

The Jews of the day expected Him on a white horse.
The temple leaders did not approve of His course.

He came to live, but lived to die
A Savior to the world for you and I....

It is an old story,
love and money.
Many want it so bad,
but cannot afford its honey.
Often they say,
one can go without the other.
Once the journey gone,
it begins to show kits borders.
Naive we exchange the blames,
as they stroll pass the corner.
Staying true good pals.
love and money.

I still hear your name in the silent night…
It drifts away from my teary sight…
I couldn’t stand or breathe on my own…
The same old story with the pages torn…
But you went away leaving me to be strong…
A masking smile and a tearful song…
My strength sits in my words…
All through the day it screams to be heard…...

Sometimes we pray so that 
The Kitchen God
Will not tell some of our mischievous acts
When back to heaven end of the year
It is not an old story
As a bribery is a comman way of life 
Nowadays
To soothe the anger
To satisfy the greeds
To zip the mouths
To blind the eyes
To stuck the ears
Of the authorities
The stony hearts of mankind...

Three sheets in the wind
And rubbed the wrong way
By a fair weather friend
You must seize the day

Let your hair down 
And lay down the law
Be the talk of the town
With your last hurrah

With all your high hopes
Few and far in between
Up against the ropes
Taking one for the team

Play your cards right
No guts no glory
Still High as a kite
The same old story...

DEATH SCRIPTS #3


Yes death only dictates end game,
Purge old story of cause and blame.


Guardian of loss in sure repose,
Fling final toss in fatal dose.


Note swift release from pain and woe,
Relief floods ease not like before.


Body shuts down without a fight,
Loss gathers frown in failing light.

I congratulate
the icicles on their serenity.
They have courage and backbone;
their hard hearts will never give way.

Mid-morning I hear drops of water steadily falling. 
I look up at the eaves. I see 
the enactment of the same old story.

The icicles are weeping away their inborn tears
and if they only knew it, their true identity....

Shining down into the mauve shadows path
It blinds some in justified wrath
Neither ore picks it up in the glory
Iron nor bronze can tell his old story
In truth it shines the brightest only when
A foolish sinner skips the lions den
Gave into saving, his heart now on fire
The light shone in, heavens desire
Stand there awhile, take a deep breath, and rest
This light puts us all to the test....

The same old love story


It's the same old story in a different light.
It's the same old story of time going by, 
But who can say what will come of you and I.
Let's not just be the same old story they tell to pass the time.


When are we waking up to how much this will cause us pain? 
Why are we breaking up?  Why can we not just…stay?

I am thankful for all things,
That God has given me,
For all the beautiful sights he sends
before my eyes to see.
I am thankful for his love,
And the hope of his glory.
Glory of the things up above,
As told in that grand old story.
I am thankful for His promise of eternal life,
There in that land of peace and rest,
Where there will be no more strife.

Sitting on the lawn
Is the lanky pumpkin man
Looking across street
At the large haunted mansion
The scary devilish building

An old story told
Of a rich couple that lived
He killed her in rage
Then later he killed himself
You can still hear her loud screams

Beware of this house
Being boarded doesn’t stop
The terror within
Every year at Halloween
Screams terrorize passersby

No bitterness, better than me
No measurement of sour, nor apple pulled off
No old man on a corner talking to himself
No old story
No hurt that hadn’t hurt already
No cause for sounding off
No worse than you
No reason for all the things said
No worry, when no one worries, when I’m dead
No reason
No reasonable rhyme
No worries while I’m
No wonder. . . out of time, with
No bitter. . . less. . . than what I left behind...

Wishes and Whiskey

As the couple left the pub
they spied a Leprechaun,
very stealthily trapped him.
Says the Leprechaun: “I’ll grant ye three wishes.”
“Three wishes!” “Three Wishes!’
“Ye will grant us Three Wishes!”
“I wish I had a hat!” - says she
“I wish it were in yer arse!” - says he
“I wish it wasn’t!” - says she
