A bit of metal and stone, 
lent form and substance by
an exploding sun. 
So long ago and far away,  it was
no larger than an apple seed. 

Eight billion years it wandered
and finally came to rest within
a comet, slowly orbiting...Read More

He is called the Father of a nation
Back in the country, where I was born.
He was a tremendous leader and orator
And one fine morning 
He was lying in the pool of blood
In his own house, gunned down.
 
I saw the...Read More

Dear Pastor

I now recall what I attempted to say to you on yesterday but forgot.                         ...Read More

"Breath, in Blue"



Bluebottles broken scattered
shattered legions on the beach of my heart
my blue planet lungs rattle
my breath battered in the honeycomb maze
vanished all my bees belittled forgotten 
there breaks the earthquake in...Read More

Seated in a cell of this prison world
I watched the night sky
Through a window,
A tiny one
Sealed tight by metal bars
Seeming to tell me
That mightier they surely are
Mightier than me
Mightier than everything else!

The night sky is where freedom lies
The night sky...Read More

Luther Vandross recorded a song
that says something like
"We had the best love around...
We were the talk of the town."

I can't think of the last time
a greatly famous and resilient love affair
was the talk of even TinselTown;
and certainly not New York,...
maybe...Read More

Juxtaposition III

I
Her beauty is like the dawn of the day, 
Gentle and mild, pricking the strings of hay, 
In such melody that outweighs the hearts, 
Bewitching all mouths to move in her art. 
Even the sun grudge thy lofty beauty,...Read More

He had an urge to kill,
an evil need nurtured
by violent movies, video games
and predecessors in the evening news.

His desire gained power
with meditation and mental rehearsals.
He couldn't remember which day
he concluded he was defective,

But he knew the destination
of the dark path...Read More

"Transfiguration"



Radiant crystalline
a lighter body 
you romanced the 
divine in my mind

you touched my 
you touched my
you touched my 

soul

Diamond snakeskin 
shed, peeled back 
your luminescence shining pure
through my many fractured cracks 

all your lines bleeding 
burning bright white light
in my...Read More

Video games don’t kill people, guns do!...Read More

right from the start
you told me you
weren't going

to be but not
believing
you're

going to be
gone all
night

long now i
long for
thee

miles and 
Miles
Davis

plays for you
minimalistic
jazz blues

listen to my
heart beat
and keep

the groove
sell it on
You

Tube but still
can't reach
you even

with a video
almost
p**no

graphically
just me
seen

dancing to 
a movie
of you

oh...Read More

POTD 6th August 2019

The clock ticks down the passing day
Tedious seconds count down my existence
Time for my pills ~ Time to call the nurse
Time ~ taunting my resistance

Soft haunting strains of a violin float
sweetly liquid, melodiously unchained
freeing my mind from...Read More

He is twelve and kind-hearted. 
I agree to try another video game because I love him.
He keeps giving me glowing reviews.
“You are doing well, grandma!”
“You got a lot further than last time, grandma!”
Sometimes I know when my spaceship has crashed...Read More

Out of control children, out of patience parents,
People who feel entitled to not work, 
Bullying behaviors, racism, and ageism

Misogynist dictators, fervent followers who do not know why they follow,
People who are not held accountable for their bad manners,
Cigarette smoke in...Read More

So used to action
Everything fast paced
Instant gratification
Worlds away from reality

First job, too boring
Find out they have to take orders? 
No way!

Lots of cleaning. What is the point? 
Annoyed at the slow pace, the tedious repetitiveness.
Become irritated, quit. 
Thinking someone else...Read More

I’ll Have What They’re Having/WBM

They gather – together  - alone
avatars – no identities known
promises blue
OMG – ILU

Pong

First commercially successful
Video game technology
Pong arcade video game
Made by Atari
Loved by millions instantly
Started an 80 billion dollar industry
Pong -no Ping-
Just Pong

Simplistic graphics still astound
Mesmerized by the sound
Blip
Blip
Pong, blip
Blip
Pong, blip
Pong, blip
PONG!!!

Hah!  Point made
In the shade!
First to eleven
In Pong heaven

Pursuit for elusive prey
teases yours truly
into treacherous catacombs
dangerous mentally
challenging pitfalls,

sets small hairs of back
on camp creeks edge
of night, where dark shadows
evoke outer limits
of twilight zone

prompting me constantly questioning
purposefulness, qua hair raising pursuit
embarking these modern roman times
all for naught,
nonetheless I chide...Read More

Military Industrial Complex out to enslave the masses/
Save your asses from these genocidal, dangerous facists/
They’re releasing gaseous anthrax to take breath outta me/
Our Social Security Numbers are used for their death lottery/
The Bermuda Triangle is a training zone used to...Read More

Childhood Memories!

Playing soccer as a forward and a goalie in early childhood through first grade
meeting a pilot and a stewardess in kindergarten and even wanted to be a pilot for a while because I thought it was cool
wanting to be...Read More

Today I enjoyed watching a video about the biggest and oldest olive tree in the world. Her age estimated  5500 years old. Her shade area about 250 meter sq. It produces about 1100 bounds of olive a year.

Cham gave away 
his most prized possessions
his video games 
his PS2
his TV set

His new friends are happy recipients
They have only known him a couple of weeks
It is amazing 
An answer to prayer for two of them
They needed money
for their drug...Read More

We played on all weather turf which was mud and a few sods of grass

Dribbled like Pele and Eusebio in old boot for that one killer pass

From straight after school until there was not one single more ray of light

So...Read More
