That lie in wait below
Destroying any fertile seed
Of flowers that might grow...

Scared and full of rain
you are pushed 
to the final room

Yet you are
forever the breathwing
the light over Munich....

Sophie dog’s teeth are showing.
She is baring them.
Who is this strange man who dares slam a car door?
She runs out there, to snarl, to snip to….
Stopping in her tracks to  jump in the
Arms of Daddy!...

we look like bunnies

we went to the store but had no money
went for a jog but ended up running

for breakfast we eat our eggs side up sunny
embree looked at savannah and said hey hunny...

Sophie
Fell from heaven 
Hated and abandoned 
Trodden under by everyone
Trapped in the cracks of the earth by her roots 
A lamb came to the lonely sun 
And lifted the flower
Who is known as  
Sophie...

A world only meant for perfection
Sophie can Hardly Breathe
Have you ever thought about Imperfection's Beauty?
Don't Look to the east, stay here with me

We are The Sick
We Are The Chosen
Just to see--Just to be
Imperfection's beauty...

When plunging into a task headlong
always fear of  failure comes along
Restricting us ,for fulfillment we long.

and dance with them in dreams of bliss
dark anxious whispers will remind
that dangers lurk in hiddenness

Your dreams can be achieved, 
but ambitions are at times deceived 
by fear, that like an ophidian rust,
can turn your aspirations into dust

He loved a lady,twice his age
In his heart a passion raged
He added her nam to his-
A young talent sadly cut short
Dying in WW1,as he so bravely fought

Tribute to Henri Gaudier-Brzeska (1891-1915) & his platonic love affair with Sophie Brzeska...

With her parents, Sophie played the make-believe game.
They believed all of her stories, which was her slippery aim.
They bought into her fabrications, taking them as gospel truth.
This did not work in the summer when she stayed with her aunt Ruth....

The opposite of love is not hate
It is fear of change, difference, or mood
It sidles with a serpentine gait
Hiding, gathering ammo like it’s food..

Fear lies effortlessly in portending wait
to bare the intrinsic risk of chance.
View it not just as impending fate
nor play its victim by circumstance...

Hidden away in the portals of my mind,
Fearful thoughts lift their silver heads,
Peering out in wonder at the ways of mankind,
Happy to stay engulfed by happiness,  not dread.

Fear stalks indiscriminate thoughts 
camouflaged by beauty's sweet scent.

And from safe shadows, schemes and plots,
leaving no clue, where the fear went.

Brittle.

Composure is a fragile thing
That should allow my heart to sing
So why when all is hearts and kisses
Do I suspect a viper’s hisses

Empathy plays my poet’s heart
Most of my doubts concealed artfully
Worries play such a minor part,
As my poems are created heart-fully.
