Verse in a Vase

This verse offers such flowers,
gives them to us,
presents a vase of verse
so simply, yet with grace.

So simply, too, do we
receive them with that grace,
presented as they are
within this dainty vase.

Such a vase, with grace,
such flowers, with grace,
such a vase of verse
containing those flowers with finesse.

Why do we try so hard to create
verse for flowers and a vase
employing such a dainty voice
while we curse so much, oh yes, so much?

Stress be gone, Stress be gone, Stress be gone
Periodt, Periodt, Periodt. Be gone, Be gone, Be gone.
Shake it off, Shake it off, Shake it off. Not today, Not tomorrow shake it off, Shake it off, Shake it off. Get out, Get out, Get out. Poof be gone, Poof be gone, Poof be gone.

Premium MemberVexation In the Garden

where shall I run
if the dormant grass remains
to prick my bare soles
as I scurry to the other side
in pursuit of this child
whom I would give my very life
though her life may not mirror my own

the string in her hand
that balloon in the sky
seem so simple at sunset
the clouds they agree 
not to deter this memory
with rain and fulmination

sunrays gleam and glow even more
the effect weighs heavily upon the skin
no need to compare the present with past
she trust her mother, her father, and the heavens

the twilight would never lie
but right and wrong can touch tomorrow
and when tomorrow touches her, I pray
it is with hands as gentle as mine

Vanity and Vexation

Ahhhhhh.... they make me so mad!
A fool, a buffoon, an unruly lad,
A prankster, a trickster, a tattler,
A gigolo, a lounger and an idler;

An imposter, a pretender and a loafer,
A party crasher, a tailgater and a golfer,
A boondoggle or a task of a tall order, 
And the deals done under-the-counter!

I often tear my hair out at a silly pun
or at a smart aleck who can out-run,
A hoax or a scam drives me crazy
which is absurd, witless or sleazy. 

But look into my eyes lovingly
and whisper sweet nothing softly,
Hold my hands and be pretty sexy
And oh ... Man, I’ll just go crazy!

A Vexation of Mind

There is a pounding
And the lungs forget to breathe
As lips softly touch
For love is the hearts domain
And a vexation of mind

Feel your blood bubbling under the skin
As an erupting volcano
At a scorching boiling point
Causing an intense rage
Seen in the behold
As beady eyes
Until you 
Regain 
Peace

Sexual Fixation Vexation

I've got a little problem 
Some say it ain't so bad 
But, yeah, I got a problem 
I can't get you out my bed. 

Hiding under my pillow 
Or vanishing 
Beneath the sheets 
The blame I place 
relates solely 
to my need for relief. 

I got a 
Sexual fixation vexation, 
How can I clear my soul? 
Of this 
Sexual fixation vexation 
It owns my mind 
and body whole.

Vexation

The cessation
and alleviation
of the causation
of irritation 
is the clarification
of information
or the realization
the situation
in contemplation
is a manifestation
without liberation
except termination
of your fixation.


I wrote this in 2003 and it was the first of it's kind known at the time.

Vexation

Im trying
while hes lying
hes crying
while im dying
feelings are changing
and old ones are comming back
which makes up for all this stuff that i lack
just trying to find the strenth
to get through one more day
building up inside
this hurtings here to stay

Rancor Vexation

My heart falls like rain
At the sound of your name

Tears of sadness fall softly from my face
Where tears of joy used to be placed

I can’t stand the feeling of losing you
I no longer fathom what I can do

Your love was what I used to sing
Now at the sound of your name my ears ring

It’s hard for me to find a smile to wear
When every time I turn around you’re no longer there

My skin feels lost without your touch
At times the sadness becomes too much

I miss all the dreams of which we used to speak
Now the thought of us makes my knees go weak

I can’t believe I thought all you said was true
I would’ve given up everything just to be with you

Everything must run its course so I’ll simply have to wait
For you to see all you’ve left behind; I just hope it’s not too late
