Tapping out pitter patter
Renewing the earth

There is a Poet, named Robert Dufresne,
I laugh at his Poetry until I'm insane
with Brick Townsend, he plays,
a collaborative game
But Bill Lipton's Horse is a pain....

Happy New Year 
2025 is here
Thanking Jesus I'm still alive

At last, another year 
To see 
Thank Jesus for Blessing me.

On a canvas filled with white light,
Bursting with everlasting imagery of nature

He had Aspergers
Low functioning socially
Did age make him odd

Spoke in monotone
Constant annoying babble
This was nothing new

Disliked by many
Starting in kindergarten
Age did not change him

He never had friends
His name was Leeland Townsend
People ran from him...

desperation and solitude 
freedom of self expression 
sent me into modern day 
slavery a victim of plagery 
I began using my slave name 
kinggirlchild I found my way home 
empty and shallow my heart
racing I fell to my knees crawling
with pages in hand in this fair land
oh how grand an American poet survived...

Polished, worth everlasting stones
Surrounded by hidden atmospheres
The river flows from all
In the midst unknown 
Of the blue sky, not a dream
Knowing all worth the while
A precious site
A shiny viewed scene
A keepsake remembrance
A Diamond is found
In silence non-sound.

Blue, violet, and magenta masterpiece
Brushed with mounds like white cotton 
Rainbows streaming down sunbeams 
Intertwining amongst pillows of light
Drifting, spiraling downward
Covering the earth in elegance
Gracing many a mountains face
Illuminating sand and stones
Creating paintings upon the soul

Misty morning of enchantment
Afternoon ablaze with temptation
Beneath a sunset canvas
Your hand intertwined with mine
A moonlit stroll in the dark of night 
A midnight kiss beneath the stars
Tucked safely in for the night
Awakened gently by dawns early light
To find yet another 
Misty morning of enchantment

Falling
Gently
To the earth below
Snowflakes
Freezing
A blanket of snow

Falling
Gently
From Heaven above
Raindrops
Dripping
Rhythm of true love

Falling 
Gently
Ever so slowly
Teardrops
Streaming
Leaving me lonely

Falling 
Gently
My soul yours to take
Wholly
Boldly
My heart please don’t break

In perfect rhythm
A gently flowing ballad
Perfect melody

Tugging at my heart
Softly lifting my spirit
Tickling my senses

A song of beauty
Calling to the universe
To maintain all life

Everlasting tune
Beckoning for all to see
Shimmering with hope


Singing out for peace
In harmony with the wind
Conducted by God

As angels gathered ‘round 
I heard sweet music play
They played this song for you
On this, your special day

I cried a crystal tear
Upon my cheek it did lay
I cried this special tear
As God called you away

I put this tear in my pocket
There is where it will stay
Within a heart shaped locket
Until we meet again one day

I hear the leaves rustling
From behind the trees
Unsure of what I will find there
I peek carefully to see

A family of snakes slithering 
Oh so scared of me
They’ve made their nest there
Just beneath the leaves

Now my porch is invaded 
They just want to be free
These tiny little critters are living
A little too close to me

Floating through the trees
On the current of the wind
Soaring to freedom

Mounting to the sky
Drifting slowly back again
Smoothly descending

Dancing with the leaves
Swirling in a light whirlwind
Spiraling downward

Completely silent
Falling from heaven to earth
Softly lands below

Paused for a moment
Swept up in a gentle breeze
No longer in sight

Filled with maturity 
Shining with laughter
Dancing in the starlight
Sparkling here after

Bold and daring
Like milk chocolate
Youthful and innocent
Extremely passionate

Soft and sexy
Thick lashes of black
Make up perfect
Totally relaxed

Uninhibited charm
Style shining through
Mystery and romance
Candle light hues

Gazing unto love
Maybe just desire
Eyes of the soul
Set hearts afire

So much sadness
Too many lies
One persons promise 
Another’s demise

Regret and resentment
Just hurt in disguise
Failure and upset
Lead to despise

How could they do it?
What did I do wrong?
My fault, no theirs
I’m not that strong

I keep my promises
I forgive them again
I give everything I have
I take them all in

I feel only pain
I see all their lies
I don’t deserve this 
So I ask, WHY?

Lurking in the shadows 
Stalking her prey
A hunger burning inside of her
Taking pleasure in the hunt
She watches and waits
Like a panther sleek and silent
She moves in for the kill
Entranced by pheromones 
Her prey surrenders
Claws extended
She takes him in her grasp
She feeds upon weakness
She dwells in deceit
This demonic creature
A prowler in the darkness
A mistress of the hunt
Resembling a woman

Solemn and still, barely breathing
Arms weighing heavy lain with burden
Always standing, never sleeping
Constantly changing, nothing certain

Crying out for many lives lost
The tragedy and severity of war
Men and boys have paid the cost
This willow weeps, praying, “No more.”
