Short Standeth Poems

The rain, It is a rainy day
Lots of rain this way
In the south
The trees standeth tall
The breeze come through
Overlooking the scenery
The woods and hills in the view
Lands all around
Downtown, uptown
Busy highways abroad
Mountains and Valleys
Tall buildings, new construction
Jobs with production
All types of activities
Rain, rain, rain
The storm passes through....

What manner of an angel be
my love, who standeth here?
Such beauty did I never see
in any Earthly year.
What mighty magic has she cast
to make me love her so,
that if I should for aeons last,
still with her I shall go?
What wonders lay beneath her breast
and weigh my heart like stones?
These eyes of mine did never rest
on any sweeter bones.
What better end have I to meet
than ‘fore my Lady break me
to lift me in her embrace sweet
and to her darkness take me?...

Claiming Territory 



Amongst blades of grass
Stubborn weeds 
Spread adamant seed
standeth  proudly 
In its glory 
From its lips it utterth 
A song
Several generations strong 

A mirror of the sun 
Yanked from the earth
The mother birthed 
It , too, bleeds 
At its core
Where it’s heart beats 
It breaks  free through concrete
Making its presence known 
Navigating terrain 
Claiming  territory
