Life changing
verdicts in
The shower.
Proposal,
on knees in
The shower.
Conception,
first child in
The shower.

Peeling columns stand~
whispering verdicts of dust
through my cracked windows.
The gavel’s ghost still echoes
in the hollows of our laws.
Poetry describes the essence of living.
It is the indispensable rhythm to the
body of ones work.
It will be left up to others
to offer verdicts
on the essentials
that define one as a Poet...
Plying depravity from a string of unblemished guile,
Candor and virtues put on trial.
Mute complications hang the impassive jury,
Corrupt verdicts subjugate while the ingenuous worry.
Grasping for lone echos left by forgiveness and mercy,
Abolish authenticity with fallacy bred controversy.
guilty until
proven innocent
never once
innocent until
proven guilty
seemed to be
the standard
practice within
this maladaptive
relationship
guilty verdicts
pilled up within
the heart
till one day
there was
no space
left over for
love to reside
anymore it
had been pushed
out by contempt
Here comes judgment day
The day of reckoning
Where fates are decided
And verdicts rendered
Futures lie in the wait
The drumroll of anticipation
Admitting there’s no hope
For submissions that are late

Sued three times…
your wrath indicts
Prostate, throat,
and kidney cites
Each time you threatened:
“This is the end”
I wasn’t ready,
mistried again
I kept my counsel
and shut you out
The jury hung
to scream and shout
Your will or mine,
it’s zero sum
I still live on
—three verdicts shunned
(In Tribute: October, 2020)
12 Jurys
1 Judge
1/2 a chance walking free tonight
10 years
1 pen
5 years probation
2,000 dollar fine
1 man waiting to hear
1 attorney tring to get him free
2 court dates up ahead
15 minutes for lunch
2 times I've got sick
1 crime committed
1 chance to go home
3 hours the verdicts in
10 years of my life
Time to serve for 1 crime committed
Halls of justice full of gloom
criminals and victims in every room
Some hide their face, others sly
Glaring at others with a stink eye
Guilty and innocent, a mix of fears
Torment is pacing, verdicts bring tears
A silent witness, no words has thee
invisible to all, but large eyes do see
Who are the guilty, in justice hall
Ode to be a the fly on the wall.
Radio murdered the live musician.
It had no regrets,
this was the intention.
Video killed the radio star.
Beauty became the focus,
more important than playing a guitar.
The internet shot music videos down.
Took a whole network with it,
no one needs their MTV now.
Who will massacre the internet?
The verdicts still out,
I'm not ready to place my bet.
verdicts lie in mind’s eyes
supposition a waste of time
should I, could I, might I, may I...
smaller still into the rabbit hole
I fall with you standing over
stories, cover up falling down
aplomb recognized as truth
what is truth? don’t believe
we can ever know through
the veils of maya, illusion,
forgetfulness – waking up to
fall asleep again...down and
down we go...
Mental Illness is not a violation.
It's a human experience.
One many carry unspokenly.
The real harm is uncovered
How others respond:
The quick labels, the cold
Stares, the whispered verdicts.
A mind in toil needs support, not punishment,
Compassion, not condemnation.
Because the truth is straightforward:
The crime is in the person
Who sees the hurt and chooses to
Judge it.
The judge sits
Solemn and orderly
Weighing salient points
Juggling facts
Deciphering nuances
Pondering implications
On justice and righteousness
Upholding the law of the land
A mari usque ad mare*
Rendering verdicts
Remotely somewhat
Inspired through time
By King Solomon’s wisdom

Celtic faerie queen
With hazel eyes and body lean
We the fey are in your debt
Your gentle ways more than inept
The highlights in your golden glimpse eyes
Give us a daily offering of complete surprise
Your verdicts are swift, but always fair.
We love hearing your prayers in the air
You have inspired us all to do a bit better
Justice prevails in the land of Metter.
Celtic faerie queen, you are such a rare one
Your decrees are never overdone.
He wore the robes of justice,
high and proud,
And passed his moral
verdicts to the crowd.
But far from chambers and
the legal light.
He breached his sacred
marriage in the night.
The gavel falls to punish
wrongful deeds,
Yet he ignored the vows his
wife pleads.
A double sinful life behind a
heavy lock door,
He breaks the very laws he
swore to obey.
The bench holds honor, but
his heart is unfaithful,
A hollow promise that he
failed to keep.
silence can be
proverbially golden
when cracks appear
patina can seal the fissures
and cradle what is left
once speechless bubbles
make reason and sense
until the arbiter of emotion
glows from the dark
peace emerges
from quietude and honesty
as alchemy turns falseness
into precious verdicts
little birds start talking to a rainbow
in between picking at the worms
of time and growth
the albatross is set free
