Talk about the future
and spoil the present
Fox in the henhouse
rats in the barn

Moment’s unspoiled
never in reference
Today, not tomorrow
prescience the charm

Her skin, an arabesque marble - unspoiled by mortal touch - beckons the warmth of 
Another such, 
That will eclipse every cold, bare and lonely night,
Laying in darkness, 
And searching,
For light....

The kite went left
Right – the wind blew
Silently as a thief,
unspoiled blue
welcomes a guest;
 
It is easy to rest
Above – inconspicuous  
but to the mind’s eye,
Glorious because
an unique design....

Unspoiled autumn age
Anon ridge my god picks way
Strong buck bears his burdens high

I soul-less, hunt sight 
Forest warmth and bounty hoard
Resting only in god’s ruins

The bullets 
will be there tomorrow
the endless sorrow
inescapable regret
that will linger, fade
reappear in the future

pure unspoiled poetry
twas an illusion
until the hipster decried
the archaic language

A dream worth living for

Born in the image of an unspoiled soul

Newborn stretches its small limbs 

Hungers, cries, crawls, and walks 

A new peaceful dawn, a new world unfurled

A gift or obligation,
  the Poet signed his name

A promise wrapped in silence,
  decision masked by pain

One choice among the many,
  within salvation lies

The victors lay unspoiled
  —with truth to live or die

MORLOCKS



Streets are swept clean, unseen
Order is preserved,  unobserved
Of trash they will dispose,  we suppose
Our daylight life
Is unspoiled by
Darker  parts of our existence.
Night-time is for the Morlocks
Who disappear when the sun comes up....

A billowing cloud descends effortlessly from great heights
Languishing momentarily near ominous
Peaks, quietly resting,
Surrounding tree-lined unspoiled vistas, while exploiting yon  zenith



A poem written in the duel styles of ABC and Acrostics

An azure sky, by God’s good grace

Above this hallowed place reclines

Where sunlit lakes reflect the face

of mountain range and forest pines.

Unblemished view for tired eyes

Quietly dreaming ‘neath azure skies

Most days, my thoughts
Are consumed by phantom pugilism
With things that once were
But long in absentia.

I re-trace the missteps,
That became teaching tools,
In the grandeur of life;

My unspoiled moments,
The fourth dimension has purloined,
Leaving me to mark time
With no pronounced purpose....

A solitary pencil line,
stretched taught 
on distant snow. 
Cleaves blank sky 
from frozen ground.
Gives hope of where to go.

Accidental thought 
creates a tree I toil towards 
its trembling twigs 
find only that I'm lost
and all about me 
unspoiled virgin white
except the fading words 
from where I've been....

The greatest of men
  he bled the truth,
  his wounds for all to share

A symbol relived
  a life unspoiled,
  courage all too rare

The towering hawk
  the thundering storm,
  hailstones mark the way

A moment in time
  a vision embraced
   —his name the children pray

(Plane From Detroit: August 21, 2018)...

pines
fragrance
the woodland
with their rugged
air is crammed with a pungent aroma

Branches of redwoods arching to the skies
like the cleansed breath
Knotted stems
unspoiled
Grows.

Upon awakening from a dream, I found myself laying there, the vision had become a blur....What I saw is far hard to explain....So sacred of beauty it was....untouched and unspoiled....belonging to another place, another time....it floated in the air, dancing around me, I reached out for it, but it danced higher above me....once again life has allowed me to see beyond the lining.......

Broken fruit stacked forward, with
their tender lip-soft skins 
scuffed among her unspoiled sisters.

Lonely is the unripe peach
hoping to be chosen,
turning her sun side out, beckoning, 
longing to be washed and tasted, and
not knowing of her immature bitterness.

They always reach back 
for the fresh loaf of bread 
at the back of the shelf.

its not the same for fruit....

There’s a dazzle on the river
an October sun shine-sheens,
makes it flow brighter
as a fresh light awakens its old soul.

An unspoiled air blossoms on every lip,
long dead shadows are shed.
Silver fish seem to leap
out of sparkling eyes.

Some days flow like wine
we get drunk on ourselves;
watch Autumn walk on water,
a normal miracle
once more discovered....

Youth
                                       untouched
                                           innocence
                                                   wide eyed wondering
                                          (mostly) pure in word and deed 
                                    wants of nothing more than fun and frolicking

immortal in my heart
are the moments with her in my embrace
lost myself in her tender loves
her unspoiled gaze is the home iv sought
all my life
the warm seasons of my heart
belong to her
like two summer suns together we live as one
forever in the beautiful illusions
of summers everlasting days
and deep pure nights
as one we live
as one we breath
this eternal love
this gift sweet and dear...

Open
A gate, a key
To greater turmoil
Overture to greater beauty
Unspoiled.

Fear not
Discovery
When your eyes look upon
Rough trail, hiding territory
Beyond.

Count not,
Walk regardless
Of the pros and the cons
Dreams are in the making, unless
You doubt.

Seek Ye
That gate, that key
That you may come to know
Treasure untold; that ye the key
Do hold.

Wanderers we have been

Off to distant climes,

Restless curiosity

Led to inquiring minds.

Daring to take the risk

Challenges to be fought,

Reaching for the highest peak

Unspoiled lands, we sought.  

Island paradises too, secluded and serene

Searching for the seldom trod,

Each journey, was our dream.

Purple hair
Deep brown eyes
Someone who can fight
Despite all the lies 

See a frown
Upon his face
You give him a hug
To remove its every trace

Unaware of how much
He is loved
We would fight all his fears
Have them all shoved

He is an amazing friend
And can not be forgotten
Always be wanted
Unspoiled and unrotten

For Alex inspires me
To be all that I can
So everyone please stand up
And give him a hand :)...
