Short Samson Poems

Joe Samson couldn't stand racket
he told his five boys to sack it.
They refused to comply
today they wonder why
their dad was driven to crack it....

When Orpheus sang on his flute
All Nature listened falling mute
But when Samson sang
It sounded like a bang
That sleeping babies woke up with a jolt...

Samson had some gorgeous hair
Everyone assumed he had flair
Until she took his pride
Hair was cut, he broke then cried
With no hair, they didn't care...

Delilah was hoping for pearls
But Samson thought she'd love his curls
Come on!   Be fair!
Who wants dead hair?
So Samson got snipped like the girls....

   Hercules peered out on the dance floor
     spotted beautiful Delilah holding court

   Scanned the room for Samson but 
     saw a chair where hair'd been cut...

SAMSON


There was a young man named Samson
Who was strong, rugged and handsome
He had hair curly and long 
That  made him exceedingly strong
But a haircut was the demise of Samson...

Past original lethal practice
         today modernly assumed
         and legalized     
        as hairdressers, Delilah
         still Cuts the hair of  
          her lover Samson...!...

Samson had Delilah,
I married a pariah...

She'd bedded the
entire city,
And was really not that pretty,

But dumb is dumb,
And genitals think,
Led to a marriage,
Which really did stink....

Courage

There once was a man who was fearless
Confronting a fear he could care less
His courage was there
Like Samson with hair
Except on his head he was hairless

You clipped my wings
You cured my flirt
You blinded my sight
From bevy of beauties.

I'm a toy in your palm
Administered unto your wish
And, like powerful Samson
I'm doomed!

Love,
Sweet bait
Covering a naked hook
The cemetary of my life....

The Philistines wanted the source of Samson's power
Delilah tried,nagged and then to her love,lied
In weakness,this Judge was soon to cower-
Samson' strength was never self-reliant,
The Spirit of the Lord had made him a giant

See more at Judges 15 & 16...

Samson slapping feet of passion
on the warming asphalt passing-
by my seedlings, hardy lasting
can't help feel my youth is passing.
On the treetops, time elapsing,
photos of the flowers hatching.
Spring is coming, Samson running-
feet are planted and are lasting....

SAMSON 2

Samson killed a thousand men
With the jawbone of an ass
There was no other man alive
In mighty Samson's class

But his strength departed from him
After all was done and said
Because a lady named Delilah
Shaved mighty Samson's head

Samson was known for strength and flowing mane

   He loved Delilah who became his bane

      Through many a bedroom schmooze

         She found the key to his ruse

            She barbered him bald in a coup de main

I want the dripping edge 
of my words
to be raw,
like wind in a hurricane
like creation’s power before it acted
like anger before attack
or lust before love
Intuition before reason
Samson before Delilah
Meaning before definition
Epiphany,
—before the letters form 

(Train To New York: August, 1999)...

May the beneficent and infinitely omnipotent
Name of Jesus Christ the Son of God
Eternally impute blessings lofty and  abundant
Upon the blessed memory and legacy so bold,
Of my beloved dad, revered and eminent,
Reverend Samson  Singi who when seventy years old
Was called to be with his Master still humble and repentant!...

THE AFFAIR OF DELILAH’S BARBER

Delilah’s decadence was hard to bare.
Barbarous Philistines, they’d cut his hair.
His new growth wrought with chillers.
They had chained him to pillars.
Samson fell house in an awful affair.

Samson slew a thousand men with the jawbone of an ass!

   The Lord said, "You done good, boy!  You've got a lot of brass!"

      "Thank you, Lord!", as he surveyed the carnage he did that day.

         "I must say, I sure made donkeys out of them Philistines today!"

If I must sing...
I will sing about you.
If I must dream...
I will dream of you,  angel.
If I must go to the moon...
I will pray we go together, alone.
If I must be in the ocean...
Your company will make us titanic love. 
If I must go for an adventure in the forest of Lions,...
You with me dear,  will make me a Samson.

I LOVE YOU....

I love you…
More than Elmer loves glue
More than Bruce loves Kung Fu
More than Sara loves pie
You’re the apple of my eye

More than Samson loves Delilah
More than smoke loves fire
More than Adam loves Eve
You're the only one I need

More than needle loves thread
More than Wilma loves Fred
More than peaches loves cream
More than I’d ever dare to dream

I love you......
