mother earth's retribution
cool tears sate his rage

She, in looking to sate her desires,
Bade me come to quench her summer fires.
The treat white and dreamy
On her tongue was creamy.
Ice cream man, I’ll come as she requires....

She picked his poetic flowers
Her tender hope a crumbly seed
Each morn, in wait to taste his feed
She craved him till eve’s florid hours
In need to sate her stark bowers

I speak of cash crops, refined 
apothecary powders (staples really) bought to
sate, to feed the scarred artery and the
diseased mind, the lover and the slave.
I speak of madness....

Stout Hearted Men

Alas for the Irish ‘tis fate
to drown in Guinness this date
and “quietly” shout
hoorah for the “stout”
‘Tis an insatiable thirst I must sate

There was a woman from Cincinnati
 
Who'd put up jars of favorite spaghetti

Think not her action was kinda nutty

Flavor was great

Hunger did sate

The hearts of friends did send up confetti....

Oh, strip me naked
Bare my soul….reshape me
Torch my very spirit.
Sate my ashen fields
With riotous rivulets
Seduce my arid beauty
Entice my dormant life
To bloom, to dance upon
Dawn’s fickle wind....

We tell ourselves, 
of rituals and rights,
man made excite,
creating rotten cores,
righteous in wander,
studied still the corpse,
with a thirst as mine,
considered beauty,
would never sate,
my appetite.

Gently, 
the maple's 
veined hydra of a
tounge stretches out 
in fall to taste the midday 
mist, to sate its chronic thirst.
How like a baby in its mother's arms
is this rough-grained senior clothed in bark....

you don't want
a Van Gogh's
ear lobe just

be all
you can
be

then take you to
a nunary but
none of these would

sate or take the
place of what
praise my poetry to

thee that
which you have
breathed into

me...

hot June eventide...


          sweltering clouds perspire - drip...


                    rain to sate the earth

A simpleton mewls.
Streams of martyrdom
sate white porcelain.
Sins and suffering
hover like pumice.

Pruned fingertips
scratch metallic
drain passages
seeking escape.

Dread subsides
as bubbles
vanish and

whimpers
simply

laugh....

She put a stop to his hop

She finally stopped him from crossing her bridge
Always on his terms, as he made his way to her fridge
He cared only about filling his own plate
As he ate her food, got his fill, got sate
She at last closed her doors to his ways to her porridge...

To sate that vague, uneasy need to write

to nurture or to purge 

that thing within, 

that urge, 

to free or end

some nagging thought

that should perhaps have never sought

to ever see the light of day?

Or might it be best

to simply have one whiskey less....

You hid it well---
I couldn't tell
Until it was too late.
I went through Hell.
Resigned to Fate
I tried to sate
Your constant growling need
Or else abate
Your lust.  You feed
On the heartseed
Of my soul.  Dark and fell,
I take no heed.
I'm already dead.
You bled me that way....

Sleek pen welcomes 
the scented stationery
with a gentle kiss, 

coy as a blooming rose 
and of course, on hand
to sate yellow butterfly,

soft petals are teasy 
with salacious aroma, 
proudly advertising--

the unfermented dews of 
morning mountains and my
own imaginative thought....

when we’re placed in life’s test
facing tough alternatives that dilemma heaves
we are blest

good discernment
wisdom asked with faith in God sieves
best’s scent

our fate
with God lives
sate

when we’re placed in life’s test
wisdom asked with faith in God sieves
sate

Ravishing beauty
You've got that  sexy allure
Wishing you were here with me 
My sweetly scented April flower

You are my rose 
It's you my heart sings to
My magic dove My lovely 
You've got everything I want

And more of what I need 
I am sate in my rectitude 
Positively replete because of you...

Spawn of Satan

Behold the demonized beasts, Satan's spawn!

Chained to the gates of Hell for all Eternity

Eyes of fiery coals and drooling mouths agape.

They roar in anger to sate their hunger with

                             YOU!
