A roller coaster...
inch-es up-wards...and—then—it 
rushes back to earth!...

A tree's branch with leaves,
extending somewhere wards:-,
a cuckoo and shade....

Swimming in oceans beyond our own understanding. 

Like Atlantis lost in a portal of astonishment.

Mortals forever wandering on-wards lost in the mountains of existence....

In the woomph of the wind
I spin a spheric tear
as i dro
pped myself
Wards one and two
Splattered end
oh to return to
those storm arms
that whispered
i will slow the tease...

Foul mouthed he was,foul mouthed he was called,
A beast with words,an obsession he wards,
South is his tone,without a fear to his baritone,
A grave his tongue digs,for him he'll only sink....

Count Drac
Comeback

Fang teeth
Vein breach

Drinks blood
Red flood

Garlic 
Toxic

Wood stake 
Heart break

Change strat
To bat

Lies in
Coffin

Sunrise
Drac dies

Lord's cross
Wards off.

Is there such a thing as
unadulterated goodness

Unattached to fortune
and the fame it wards

If there is, I’ve yet to see it
with these naked eyes

As I continue to hope
—with each unwritten word

Whistling whispering warlocked warrior wishing when 
wanting whatever won winnings whenever.
While wondering wandering wordsmithing winsome
witch worries woefully which wayward wintry willfully
willing warlock will winsomely win wonder with what wards....

breast milk brewed
in factories liberated
colostrum in packets
saints steal the milk
of calves drink then pray
believing in a myth
heat of love in plastic
bags swollen
while leaves eat the sun
turning green we destroy them
honey bees are flying back wards...

We are blighted wards
Sordid, trepidatious scars
Haven's wall too darkly far
Eden's thornbush guards
Caught behind our safety bars
Still, we count the free range stars

Hours of horrible happenings
Afraid of aerobatics’ artist
Lovely and lively lyrics by louts
Luggage of lies and loss fills the land
Outrageous onslaught on oldies
Weird wards willing to waste
Excitements erode the egomania
Elite excused? …Not exempted
Naughty ninjas at night niggle....

it is a shame
even in some
ways a sham
but i am trying
to reverse some
things like super
man flying back
wards against the
rotation of earth's
gravitational pull

so let me take
your hand but
promising to
give it back
after we 
have taken
a relaxing
dip in our
genetic
pool...

She is a loving friend
Who loves me without question
Till the End.

She keeps me safe 
and sound
no matter where I'm found

She wards off attacks
without looking back

She fends off bears
without any cares
keeping me protected

She is my Bee
My loving Aussie
Who I keep Protected...

It is the constant present
That we come to resent
The way time gains whats sent,

Sending the traveler backwards
Not into the mountains but towards
Valley's slung low as branching wards,

Cirrus clouds spread like handwriting
Facing the reader with their writing
Lest the journeyer stops to write....

The great be not proud
when greatness you enjoy
is of under-hand games
dark hours toll their bells

Wards are ready for custody
syringes and bandages wait
glands shall be dry of tears
none at all will emerge
for your noble chaotic order

That day clouds will riot
to carry you on the journey
across the great destiny seas...

In the wards of the state
Custody is gruesome
We breathe and speak our constraints
Looming from hallway rumors

I am the hawk in the clock
Shaking hands with fate
Existing in between discretion

Charged with numbers
Time is the shock of stillness
We foam with desire
And wrench our poison pens

They train us like fire dogs
A hazard to be expunged...

On a hot summer day
The sky is so blue
White fluffy clouds
Move slowly on wards
They have different shapes
Slowly moving in the sky

These clouds moves over
A very huge mountain
Looking down a large lake
Blue as the sky above
The sky and lake blend

A summer day to spend
Time together by the water
A lovely place to be is-
Near the water on a summer
              day...

tears of heaven gently fall
caressing my soul
sizzling fire wards off the chill

too lazy to rise and shine
sun hides behind dingy clouds
dripping leaves flutter

steady showers soak
moist cheeks of earth ask for more
ribbit ribbit rap delight

in search of victims
none were found
trees blew 
water filled the town
quick alert the systems

broke and weak
stranded.
rich and powerful
vanish

no shelter 
broken promises
 
this is america
we united
one storm
now it's whatever!

my feelings can't 
hide it 
when it comes to weather

katrina the tropical storm
knocked down houses and churches 
even hospitals gone....

I want to be a right or
Not be writ ten off
Like a drunken sail or
Quaffing at a trough.

I want to be a right or
And stupefy with words
Not a punch-drunk fight or
Hurting for a wards.

I want to be a right or
Even if not write
If only I could spell or
Make it sound less tright.

I want to be a wordwright
To hammer, not type
Make thought caught in flight
Concrete, not hype....

Putting words and “wards” in my words

I’m not wayward, but waying words into their ward

The world’s words are wayward

But my words are “rhyming” “way” “words”

My world, are full of words

But the world is full of wrongs

Yes! I’ll right the wrong by rhyming words

With writing rights, I’ll write right

My “right”, my ways, my words, my world,

Hmmm, “way words”,   	

Will change our world....

Sanity is a Fragile Gift

  Sanity must be a fragile gift; so many lose it.
  Whispered voices in our heads. Who are you?
  Guilty? Or maybe a victim of circumstance?
  My biology and chemistry are enablers.

  Valium and Xanax and beer and wine help me to
  not scream naked in the street and break down.
  Anything to avoid trips to the mental wards.
  That becomes their go to "treatment". Lost......
