is fair as fair can be.  a
kiss on the mouth, and
it might become love or just
an endearment casualty.

Every day was dark as night
Then Jesus came and spoke my name
And healed me with his light

We are not at War

As the DOW doth soar

Thus bide your time

And you may find

At your door!

Paned In Shame

The arrogance 
of ignorance
Where narcissism
hides

A hall of mirrors
paned in shame
Reflecting
— only lies

though I spend half my time going pee

Now his hair has disappeared
It concerns him that's a fact.

Dreamily, merrily, seemingly so.
Like an Echo
Or a Mirror with a handle. 

She wandered and wandered
And came back the same.. 

No shame. 
No wonder. 
No shame.

Racial Bias Became A Shame

We had realized racial bias became,
Unworthy and now  is a total same;
Those white,
Did invite,
And be ones who we should blame.

I Didnt Want To

I didn't want to
I didn't want to
Do those things with you
But you persisted
Crushed my soul
Then enlisted
Now your off fighting a war
While I'm here feeling like a whore

Sid now realized her suit was all wrong
but she'd hid in this stall for too long

So, she stuck out her gut
to distract from her butt

and snuck back to the pool in her thong

Drinking infidelity

Stunning beauty her face really was!
She was shaped more like a lovely vase.
Never for a one night stand!
Booze brewed my sins in bare hands!
Beer dragged my shame under my wife's claws.

SCREAM

Shame is not loud.
A forest torn like paper
Like the spine of a child’s book.
He remembers the fire,
The silence of bees.
Hears cries of nature,
Shame is not loud.
Its a SCREAM!

Shame

Gem is gem though there is no lustrous
Stone is stone though glittering express
Love becomes lust
When mind kills trust
Shame is backed loaf veil in gentle dress

Bucket of Shame

BUCKET OF SHAME
They made it easier
Standing in a bucket of shame
To be washed of all their negativity
And born anew to a
Trowel of meaning
Sharing in a group
Our insides
Made complete and safe

No Dishonor Or Shame

A warrior lives
like he’s already dead

Honor intact,
his last mission ahead

Destiny called
by an enemy name

All glory to God
—no dishonor or shame
