Showdown Over The Horizon
I guess you didn’t expect me back so soon. To be honest neither did I. But I’m always revisiting memories, or thinking about the journey to get where I am at present.
My friend, J.J. Burton, recently lost his mother. I think it was March 10th to be precise. He’s been busy, and I understand we’ll talk when were supposed to. I was there for him when his father passed, though there relationship was strained, it was still his father.
This one I figured would be worse, because he was close to his mom. I didn’t know her well. We talked some, she was a nice lady....

Party Tonight!
HOORAY!
My 1,500th poem!
I think I'll have everyone of you over for cake and punch
Then I'll pull out my revolver and blow my brains out
Each of you can fill your grab-bag with bits of my skull, brains and whatever else flies out of my head
Write a poem about the experience and post it on here or starsrite.
Peace to all you!

where do I go?
i've come to the end
verses that once bridged the void
no longer take me to the flowery fields
& sunlit forests of meditation
my words now a winding stairway deep inside
where poetry is an opera of screams
that echos off the steel wall of my mental trap
I seek visions to free me
& one by one they die within
stillborn thoughts
I wonder do these ideas get reincarnated
in the minds of others
I push myself to press on ...

Secret Family Tree
From what I can remember when we all gathered together, at Big Mama's house where the elders of the women's, would prepare a Home Town cook out for gathering, for the family. IT was a time that I will never forget. As it was a gathering of the elders and uncles and aunts and sisters and brothers, with their off springs children running around playing children games. While the olders people would play cards or shuffle board games, as the elders would look out and see the families all together in one place. Yet they could be found sitting up under a old oak tree, in the shade of the afternoon...

Der Kaiser
They say legends never die
Their stories becoming something of a myth
But for those from another generation
They bore witness to the greats
Somewhere up there a dream team is playing together
Cruyff, Maradona, Pele, Charlton
And now Franz joins them
Rest in Peace Der Kaiser

On Your Timeline
Have you ever thought of time
As being a line
Crossing dimensions
In our minds...
A push and pull
At first, a feeling
A feeling
Unfamiliar
Yet familiar at the same time?
Separate lines parallel
Glide closer
Ever closer
To the one
Drawing nearer
To the time that divides
Night from day
Hunter from prey
Joy from dismay
Cut a line in the sand
And take my hand
For I will stop you
Drowning -
Losing time
As being a line
Crossing dimensions
In our minds...
A push and pull
At first, a feeling
A feeling
Unfamiliar
Yet familiar at the same time?
Separate lines parallel
Glide closer
Ever closer
To the one
Drawing nearer
To the time that divides
Night from day
Hunter from prey
Joy from dismay
Cut a line in the sand
And take my hand
For I will stop you
Drowning -
Losing time

6 weeks to go and this place is feeling played
Everyone is depressed
Not enough Wild Turkey 101 for breakfast is gonna save this bitch
I'm eating a lot of trans fat
Hope that isn't banned too

just rip it off already
she called me one night
outta nowhere
said she got my number from my aunt
{that's a whole other fucked up ball of wax right there}
& did I know how to reach him
she was desperate
any day now she was expecting
{...his...twins...}
not at all surprised
I sighed
listened to her tell how he'd tried to shoot her
shaking my head in disbelief
because even then...she stayed
abuse is a crushing iron fist
I get it

~ The Chain (DUP)
Sign off full stop
The final stage
Those dreams and ink
Down the page
Curtain drops
On precious memories
Whispers of things past
Wondering what will come to pass
With great hope of meeting once again
To love and encourage the writing power
Foregoing rhymes to copy addresses
Hooking our words to create a chain
-Shall not break
For the bond is to deep to deny
Someday soon this world will realize
Unity through words, bringing us together
A few weeks remaining, through the never
..well, kill us with nulling...

BEREAVEMENT
Dear All,
You may be seeing less of me during this week. I have just heard from my sister that our mother died early this morning aged 91 (would have been 92 on April 4th coming up(. I welcome anyone's prayers as it has also come at a time when I am planning for retirement in June and was copying over some of my poems pre the site closing. We will have funeral arrangements to deal with. God bless you all.
UPDATE - Her funeral (cremation) will take place on 15th April, it has been rather long in getting arranged because of bureaucratic business with medical examiner...
