Lament

Fallen leaves are 
Battered but not bowed after
The siege of the frost
I blame my long lament
You really wanted to stay

By Her Grace

She lays siege to pawns across the board
Graceful yet armed with a swift sword

Wind howls
And storms lay siege
Beyond my reach

Wednesday will surely come
Preparations dissolve fear
Rooted in the aftermath

Come In Your Darkness

Drag me away with
hooded lids
      to the dark of you.

Give axe to gates
protecting cheerless
     spirit under siege.

Swallow me in haste
lest I discover
     we cannot.

Point Bonita Lighthouse

Near San Francisco’s Golden Gate
First to have foghorn that was great
Army siege gun first in the state
Gold rush years many boats aground 
With light and gun no loss of freight
New lighthouse time wonderful date

Unrevealed Barrier

Unrevealed Barrier

Supposed to love
Supposed to laugh
But why does it not show.
Confused inside
Broken alone
Sorrow is all I know.

Cannot explain 
Under this pain
Why does it linger so.
I need to leave
Under this siege
Still it will go unknown.

Listen to poem:
Mine's bigger than yours
I shout louder and longer
Jump-in interuptus
deterent be damned
I'm gonna have my say.
Mutual self-destruction
is on the cards.
Attrition balition,
siege swarming,
your flanks are weak.
You're not listening, are you?

Tanka Too

Tanka

NATO…is 
A mean military machine 
Looking for a war 
It found one in Libya 
A monster’s sweet taste of blood 

Tanka 

Hurricane Irene 
Poured rain on Manhattan 
The world press aghast 
A coast guard shack damaged 
U.S. under siege again

Not Good Enough

Dimmissed, defective, unimportant,
Discounted, unworthy,
Unnoticed, undervalued,
Guilt-ridden, under-employed,
Underpaid, misunderstanding,
Unempathetic, overwhelmed,
Under duress, under siege,
Over-whelmed,
Over-dose, undertaker, underground

An indentation of innocence


               Lay siege to my vulnerability,  
        D i s a r m my chastity,  
    Indent my innocence 
         with your capability,  
      Pierce my supple skin and.......
              drink my bittersweet 
                      vermilion essence

C’mon Papa
The gauntlet tossed
The challenge…

Ten rounds
With a 2 year old

Speed vs stealth
Experience vs enthusiasm
Age vs agility

Castle builder vs the siege
Best two out of three cookies
Co-Co melon is not a fruit

C’mon Papa
Let’s go OUTSIDE…..

umbrella unicorn underling understood utilizing Utopia
unless uncle Ulrich urged Uranus to undercut unicorn’s union
Union’s underground ugly units united umbrella unicorns
Unitarianism under siege, undercoated Uncle Ulrich,
undetermined units urged umbrella unicorn to unionize.

Berry Pomeroy Castle

Two brothers leapt off from the walls,
The castle under siege one night;
An evil place, it boasts two ghosts,
The ladies dressed in blue and white:
A sister slowly starved to death,
Her pretty looks her only crime;
Abusive father killed his girl,
And then her children, too, in time.

Premium Member The Siege of Vicksburg

Acoustic shadows haunted hills
and crawled within a sleepless cave
where peace was whispered in a wish 
and silence was an endless prayer.
The sound of tears dripped in the wind
that carried din until it bled
the last of life from hungry lips,
the last of love from hopeless hearts...

The Rock

Strong on the outside,
breaking on the inside.
I'm the shoulder you cry on, 
the wisdom you depend on.
Strong and wise, 
it's all on the outside.
If you could really see,
how the world takes a toll on me.
Only then will you see,
I'm a hero to you 
but I'm a victim of discord's siege.

Under Siege

constant reminder
the failure I am...

I can stand here and I
hear your ongoing demands...

your disappoints...

your total dissatisfaction
this realism-

your life you criticize...

back off!..

I've heard enough
my only disappoint met
is for you...

...I never was enough...

Premium Member Thunderstorm

Cooler air stream rides
On back of thundering storm
Wicked this way comes

Pounding rain and hail
Weather clash of the titans
Lightning cleaves the sky

Thunder quakes the land
Animals flee fast in flight
Humans seek cover

Dark siege slowly ends
Battle clouds exhaust their rage
Scattered by the sun

The Lights of the O-R

Dodging a bullet,
the PET Scan loomed large…
results both good and bad

“Nothing today
to worry about,”
but tomorrow left unclad

The moment secure,
the future unsure…
prognosis under siege

The lights of the O.R.
 calling his name
—with hope the last reprieve

Doom's Siege

Here I stand
in this arena of lost souls
My feet forced me here


My breath fails me
I smell dry tears
Soon,i'll be drunk from it


Tragedy has been here
Pain,a visitor this august
a stranger turned owner


Disaster's home lies here


Family of sorrow,you birthed
its agony fills a book
this houshold despairs


Doom thrives here

The Lights Of The O-R

Dodging a bullet 
the Pet Scan loomed large… 
results both good and bad 

"Nothing today 
to panic about " 
 tomorrow left unclad 

The moment secure 
the future unsure… 
prognosis under siege 

The lights of the O.R. 
calling his name 
— with hope the last reprieve

The Hostage

Under siege,
tied to a bomb- 
you were talking to yourself.

The violence inside you 
had beaten you mercilessly.

The text has dried up. 
Steal a glance-

and find out the blood spots 
on the Mars, the god of war.

The sound in the vase, was becoming louder 
of coins.

Now you will walk-
on my dead body.

Society Under Siege

New Age Freedom; I baulk at that
Remembering & keeping Gods laws is what will keep us all in tact
Independence is keeping His laws & maintaining family bonds
Societies are under siege, countries threatened & being bombed
Our liberties lie at the edge as we knock on Sodom’s door 
Oh let us be wise & put back the Lord at our head once more
