Sleepy grass flutter
Beneath gentle lunar rays
Sing their quiet song
As humanity sits down
Tragically ignorant....

She stumbles from the needle,
on life's ugly, jagged edge;
yet with gracefulness and beauty,
she leaps out from the ledge....

Don't tease me
a common word exchanged
between friends who are lovers
excitedly rearranged

Just stick around
so easily spoken
among the closest of people
but tragically broken...

We drink five billion cups of coffee a year
An insane amount, it's becoming tragically clear
The forest clearing
Is affecting our sphere
Clear cutting to grow beans in South America...

A wind wraps around me as I feel and hear
It wraps a touch of embrace around the skin
But when the dancing breeze caressed my ear
She whispered such a cool and comforting wind

This

Alien extension
Acquired tragically

Is rejected unconsciously
As minute defences
Wage war mercilessly

Vulnerable as combat rages
Transformed while I'm dead
Reborn with us United
Are you my friend?...

Treading Blood Again
Stained Unclean Skin
Dead Eyes
Hypnotized
Tragically Desired
Diligence Required
Rigor Mortis Of The Mind
Distorted And Unrefined
Tormented
Demented
Unnatural Condition
Deadly Affliction...

Here lies Percival C. Singer’s tabby cat
Who tragically forgot where he was at
He was crossing a street
When, perchance, he did meet
A truck that crushed him inalterably flat.

Once A Token

Of my love, she was once a token;
Tragically heart had been broken;
Must admit,
We did split;
Caught in school bathroom smoking.

Jim Horn

My wife and I have never smoked before.
Both of our parents did though. Seemed 
to be a 40's thing....

Tragically, I am happy,
not much to moan about.

Contentment can get old real quick.

Mind suggests turning on the TV
to Fox News or even CNN.

Tragedy! Doom everywhere!

Now I am back,
now I am cussing under my breath,
but softly
so my wife don't hear....

Alliteration  TROUBLES-

terrible troubles travail totally
tired troubles turn tightly

tough troubles travel truthfully
while tattered troubles tell tragically

as those terrible troubles travail totally  today

She is precious perfection,
a true delight to behold,
a wondrous gift from God- but
her genetics: tragically flawed.

If you want to feel aching beauty
dive into the hands of a fallen angel, 
find something peaceful in the cruelty 
discover a grace so tragically fatal. 
Grow a wisdom so unforgivable
taste upon something bittersweet , 
let yourself fall into the miracle 
and love a heart so obsolete ....

They pierce into the lives
Of the people 
Deep into the Heart
Mind and Soul
A One Way
Not to be returned
In other ways
They tragically unfold

More powerful 
Than any emotion
More abrasive
Than a cutting edge
Words can pierce
At a very high speed
If not careful
To what is said...

This day soars, refreshingly 
Floating in umber modesty
Mewling boisterously, in jollity 
While, harvest colors blink 
Tragically in shades of pink 
Afternoon progresses in happiness
From there on, the evening moon 
Shines in bright, yellow incandesce
As nightfall settles over sky festoon...

She was very young when she was shot by Robert John Bardo.
She starred in 'One Life To Live' and 'My Sister Sam' over 30 years ago.
Bardo had stalked Rebecca for three years and tragically ended her life with a gun.
Fans were forced to say goodbye to this great actress who died at the age of 21....

What if this was my last brew, blow,
last blathering scribbling,
unfinished, tragically abandoned
because of a faithless unforeseen?

Would I be content, or bent backwards?
What good would any high stilts do me then
and how many blind mice
must be interned
within a never ending last breath?...

Writer's blues
Up in the sky
With a pen of bliss
As you sit and write
A wonderful day
Turns to gray
While you write your little heart away

They all read your dread
On that tiny, yellow notepad
You always bleed on
When you feel confined
In your own fragile body
And tragically chaotic mind...

Bas’ video of Africa really inspired me 
Just riding on the Nile river Casually 
He got me thinking bout my life, my family 
My roots, my ancestors, my legacy
The real eastside--cradle of humanity 
The birthplace of knowledge & reality 
What’d you think, happen magically? 
Kings & queens, put on a boat, tragically...

What happens
When you put pen to paper,
But the ink that comes out
Is as red as the blood pouring from the wound
Not yet healed?
Twisted like a knife, 
Not meant to heal,
But tragically romantic somehow. 
A story of a girl
Whose tears have stained more pages 
than most will ever read.
A continuous search to start over....
