Forgiveness

It can go both ways
Can be given
or received
It is an attribute
that must be valued
and utilized
on various occasions.
When you think
someone has betrayed you
or done you wrong
it is better
to forgive, realize
that sometimes
you have done
the same. 
Life goes in circles,
things come and go,
there is an everlasting
crescendo of give and take
So go with the flow,
don't hold grudges
Forgive

You Inspire Me

Just the thought of you
inspires me to heights
of grandiosity and elegance

You coerce me to create
writings, poems of distinction
indubitably perchance

How does this entrancing
energy transpose into art,
permutations of heights

drifting through ions
of transposition, toughness
circumcises deliverance

It's a mystical phenomenon
that's existed for ages,
from the inception

of humanity's ineptness
through the age of technology
bolstered by craters

of existential drifting
through generations
parallel to the Muse.

Melodic

Late at night
          not a sound
                    to disturb

Meditating thoughts
          form reality
                    in a nutshell

Rain simmers
          after snowy day
                    ice jungle

Joys of life
          transverse spheres
                    of peace

Writing poems
          is my therapy
                    from existence

Thoughts of loved ones
          break the panes
                    of serenity

Who knows
          what is at next curve
                    of road

Sipping beers
          exhaustion relieved
                    with a grin

Not enough time
          to fulfill desires
                    driven by Fate

Servant To Poetry

That's what I am
A Servant To Poetry
I'm dominated by passion
with Muses spreading their light
I've sacrificed myself
freed myself to be ruled
my total being possessed
by forces that overpower
my actions, thoughts
It's as if I am
alienated from reality
in my own domain
in the zone of an empire
that transcends actualization
Justification penetrates
as desires are perplexed
by this controlling force
that drives me to performances
delivering unquestioned joy 
and satisfaction.

The Dream

It was something
that brought a smile
to my face.

It had unusual underpinnings
with desirable overtones,
a pleasurable experience

as I wandered aimlessly
through concoctions Neanderthal
perpetuations ministered aloft

in dreams drearily
bound by time, space
glittery amidst synchronizing

to a land of make-believe
where all desires
could be fulfilled

it tantalized senses
drifting through subconscious
perplexity illuminating

dismal repercussions stifled
by cold truths.

In Poetry I Find Salvation

In Poetry I Find Salvation
It has saved me
from the
depths of despair
that emanate
from living
in this world

It has taken me
to a higher level
where I live
in freedom, happiness
enjoying each day
as it slowly passes.
It has

opened my mind 
taught me wisdom, 
enlightened me.
I need it 
like I require
food and air,
am grateful

that I found her.

Long Beach

Crisp Spring day
          winds gusting
birds on beach

The West End
          where Artists aspire
to live their dreams

Strolling Boardwalk
          regulars pass by
enjoying rhythm

Daily excursions
          through turmoil
and jubilant feelings

Fog rolls in
          under a sprinkle
Ocean in a tempest

Sun breaks through
          during lackluster afternoon
children playing

Cell phone rings
          friendly voice
amidst chaos

Baseball season starts
          America's pastime
frigid eve

Another dawn
          breaks monotony
anxiety pesters

Spring snowfall imminent
          insomnia strikes
Is it natural?

A child is an angel
          my flesh and blood
sleeping peacefully

Video games galore
          when you hang
with a 14 year old.

Tranquillity

The ultimate compassionate
sensation resonates beyond
daily circumstances, travails

It is calming serenity
tapered by lustful indulgences
tempting peacefulness

You wonder how such blessings
could have been bestowed
upon a common utilitarian

personality rife with imperfections.
It's mind boggling
how forces intermingle

creating spheres of happiness.
It dangles illusions
of utopian perfection

transforming everyday misanthropes
into circumstantial bliss
that encapsulates illustrious

transcendental thoughts.
Mind altering realities
bestowed upon simplicities

of thoughtless ramifications
turning lackluster days
into something magical.

The Ugly Americans

That's what we've become
The Ugly Americans
We allow our government
to strip infants and children
from their parents
and put them
into detention centers
some never to see
them again
How low can we go?
What happened to America
the alleged bastion
of freedom and liberty?
It's a shame
to see a country
slide into decadence
losing it's values and morals.
It makes me
ashamed to be an American.
I never thought
I would see that time,
but all empires
eventually have their demise.

For Hamas And The IDF -- Life Is Holy



What a simple
and beautiful premise- - - - -
Everything That Lives Is Holy!
If only we
as the human race
could follow it
and give Life the respect
that it deserves
We'd have no more
degradations, barbarous acts,
despicable killings..... Wars!
All religions preach this concept
It is a thread
that binds all humanity
What will it take for
our leaders to understand this?
Every day there are
so many useless deaths
When will it sink in?
Hopefully with the Grace of God
