Change

The hour suggests me,
the day re-forms.
No need to talk to the bathroom mirror,
new skin and a new nakedness of features
are obvious.
Time tested
I live out-of-myself,
just a breath away from any former reality.
Though I am changed and still changing,
the light in these eyes are the same.


The Fruit of Wisdom Is Often Bitter

the surface it shimmers
& sparks in the sun
but as i'm picturing depths,
walls of protections & flesh
undone
i wonder,
to toss aside the time tested knowledge
in favor of a newer, 
seeming sweeter 
flavor
would i find the truth of it,
the heart, the flesh, the pit
to be the same
as in all things that carry a seed?

Premium Member As the Photograph Dims

Listen to poem:
As the Photograph Dim 
David J Walker

There was more color 
At one time
Within the wooden frame

Time tested, time faded 
Now a struggle with 
Each name

And even though the 
Dates remain the same 
Written in pencil on the back

She lacks enough memory to 
Remain within the context 
Of the lens 
As the photograph dims

Scapegoat

A time tested honor
to be branded a goner,
just stand in the middle
of their circle of blame.
In this sex-crazed society
still obsessed with propriety,
it is you they'll belittle
to protect their good name.





*Inspired by the spot-on gorgeous frowny faces anchoring the Fox News Network. 
  Keep pointin' dem fingers boys!

Sunday School

Smug little faces
Oily little faces
Sunday best clad
Little children
Listen to the old
Time tested
Tired preacher
Accepting it all
They have trouble
Thou swallowing
Accepting he had
To be nailed for
Their petty little sin











(teach a child of my ways and when they mature they shall never depart from it ~the good book~)


Four Fifths of Fortitude

Drink all night,
And next day,
Time tested method,
To keep fear away

Of course sanity
Goes as well,
Lucidity, oh what the hell,

Hasn't done 
That much good for me
As I suppose,
You plainly see,

Charge the trenches
Bayonnet gleams
In a field
Of horrid screams

And if you make it
To tomorrow,
All that is guaranteed,
Is lots more sorrow.

Raking Leaves

A bunch of dead leaves.  
They cling on the eaves,
verging on falling
killed by frost.
Coating the earth.

Sweaty brow that furrows in
thought as the wind pushes.
Leaving them only to fly 
back--can’t get them all–

the fruits of this labor
eternal and constant
as the dead petals

Back and forth.
Cold, crisp rhythm
sweeping out the old.
Time tested,
true auburn harmony.

Premium Member The Soul Is Immortal

The Soul Is Immortal - - -
can't be killed
will live on
in infamy
through eternity
if you have lived
a good, clean life.
It's an energy source
that transcends death,
moves through dimensions
with a heavenly flow
that has you questioning
time tested theories
based upon suppositions
that delve into
supernatural science fiction
with a twist
of earthly components
rummaging through
time.

Suburban Mom

Weather tested
     Time worn
     Annoyed because
     It is not yours.

     Seasons change
     Must adjust.
     Pull your weight,
     And didn't trust.

     Kids have needs.
     Goats get cross.
     Toss them "eats",
     Now where's he gone?

     The whole day's spent,
     Then breakfast's on.
     It's what to think
     As the day begins.

        [(Weather beaten
          Mud stained
          Time tested.
          Once again. . .)]
