Skate the razors edge
I do so solemnly pledge
Never fear the ledge...

The in-between time
Soul searcher sits solemnly
Soft focus, lost time...

With  the window of the mind opened;
Birds yodel, and solemnly reveal,
 All universal secrets......

in the sweat lodge
black elk solemnly says
welcome stone people and
thanks for sharing heat with us. . .

Sensationally senile sedentary solid senators
solemnly, sincere, seriously self-serving
sanctifying, seconding, seeking senatorial reelection...

A MYTH AGE IS


Old age,
A myth is,
A myth, I solemnly 
Swear, 

FOR

As long as we live the
Dream of love,
Young,
For ever, young,
We stay!

A muse to many
Deprived solemnly
By its brothers forgiver
Taunted by his mind
Closely to touch
Fragile in the mists
Reused tantrums
Trickled tears
False horizon
That's his mothers vow....

Sheep Start To Graze

While the silent will sheep start to graze,
Our heavenly Father we solemnly praise;
One day will be,
Both Him and me;
Where things are bright without a haze.

Troubled thoughts, trickling time,

whispering wishes, wasting wine.

Staring solemnly, sitting still,

persons promise, poisoned pill.

Beyond burdened, beckoning bed,

drunken, dazed, dizzy, dead....

solemnly breathless in behemoth miasma
effect starts playing havoc with my asthma 
dropped in a world of despair, me as well
carrying dark in darkness - more is more
of that, my eyes won't know, my ears may...

Under the national treasures, they scramble for seats,
Selfishness solemnly from the wrinkled faces drips.
Do they speak our words or the words of Japanese Jeeps
When poverty and insecurity on our foreheads firmly sits?...

Old age,

A myth is, my dearest friends,

A myth, I solemnly, swear 


For


As long as we care and love 
 
Forever, young we stay, 

This, I emphatically, declare!

Mom,
And Dad,
For daughter,
She rose alone,
Strong and decisive,
Compassionate giving,
She guided her completely,
Sharing a strength for life and love,
Losing her mother within the years,
She perseveres, solemnly rewarded....

The old clock strikes
Every hour
Solemnly
The new heart throbs
Every beat
Accurately
The new heart 
Following time on the old clock
To work, to eat and to rest
Good planning and abiding obedience
Will make it
Throbs longer...

Crying solemnly in the dark
Alone and no one hears you
Pain and agony are flowing through your veins
A cold, chilly feeling is what you think of
As you carefully open your eyes you see light
You like your head on your pillow and sigh...

To roam freely forward into the sunset 
was not my "happily ever after."
To solemnly splendor in my frivioulous 
thoughts was not to be my nirvana. 

Fate and for feed upon my jubilance. 
Abandoning my presence to the abyss of despair....

I am nothing but a plain pen in the hands of the Great King
A simple sparrow, singled out solely to solemnly sing...
from the rising of the rainbow, to the release of the rainfall ring;
from the setting of the sun and the springing of seeds in Spring...

The reddest rose is invisible in a crowded bloom.
It grows all to soon as wilted matter resumes.
Saddened to harvest, but picked solemnly last, it repeats its self in the past.
No one sees the beauty it weighs or traces of morning mystic dew that stays....

My own self I wish to perjure,
And press the matter none the further
But all the lies I then must conjure!
One right after another...

So help me God, in sacred oath
No false-witness shall I bear
All Lies, all Truths- I tell them both!
I do, I solemnly swear!...

Do the shadows 
talk solemnly, when 
the light goes out ?

        *

Walking  over the 
cobblestones, you return back 
to somber childhood.

        *

It was a sudden assault 
of the wild winds. 
The rusty moon 
starts bleeding.

Embers twinkle 
In distance orbit 
Planets tilt  
In the Cold of Space
Stars Blaze
Singing a distance song
Of ancient Spheres
Music of the heavens
Spin solemnly through
The Darkness of the Void
As odd orbs orbiting 
Old objects
Of oblivion first faded scream...

Your eyes your smile
your heart beats so close to mine
the wind blows the thunder roars
the rain falling
hiding behind your veneer
streets solemnly empty 
in a mere distance I see 
your eyes your smile 
in a mere distance I feel
your heart beats so close to mine...

Memories wept
thru words we felt
as they teetered 
on the ledge,
silence held
hands entwined
sensing morrow 
of frittered edge

Lot had denied
an ageless vow,
as once, 
each vowed the same,
with echoing word,
solemnly heard,
'Our Promise 
Will Ne'er Wane'...

pick up light candle light pick up 
i need your light a moment
to let me see pass this darkness
loudly i hear the bushes screaming
fire, fire, fire
ambushed right in the middle
the flock marches and complain
alongside solemnly helping in the drain

The world quickly dissipates in your hand
and petals droop solemnly without forgiveness.

Here, a woman’s hope is crushed 
Because of one malicious rose
And the lonely dandelion
You plucked at seven 
without heart,
who loved you not,
haunts you threateningly in your gut,
lying....
