Pride
A hunter prides his trophy kill
While mother nature mourns a loss
He selfishly fulfills his thrills
At another creature’s cost
How very tough, you are
Killing in the name of fun
A lion never stood a chance
Against a semi-automatic gun
And then you have the gall
To mount its head upon your wall
To glorify your ignorance
I'm horrified and appalled.
You’ll make your lion rugs
While you rape the lion cubs
Of a home they’ll never have
And a mother’s lion love
Celebrating...
While mother nature mourns a loss
He selfishly fulfills his thrills
At another creature’s cost
How very tough, you are
Killing in the name of fun
A lion never stood a chance
Against a semi-automatic gun
And then you have the gall
To mount its head upon your wall
To glorify your ignorance
I'm horrified and appalled.
You’ll make your lion rugs
While you rape the lion cubs
Of a home they’ll never have
And a mother’s lion love
Celebrating...

A pond in springtime
One quiet croak from garden pond,
Spring must be on the way.
Soon more pale throats are swelling too
And calling lustily away.
The pond soon fills with many males,
Each trying harder than the rest
To croak the loudest of them all:
"Come, my love, I am the best".
Slowly, females are aroused.
From under logs and stones they peer.
Plump older ones with thousand eggs
And virgins who were tads last year.
A crawl, a hop, a final plop
Into seething pool she flies.
Thrashing legs as frantic males
Jostle to...

The Great Migration
It’s finally spring – time to sing;
As we prepare for a daring flight.
With only the stars to guide our way,
We fly at dusk tonight.
A perilous path lies just ahead,
O’er many miles of open sea;
With no place to land to rest our heads,
There’s no turning back, you see?
It’s a 3-day flight across the ocean,
With a thousand miles left to go!
And we must stay in constant motion,
Or it’s… well, I think you know.
Some of us are bound to die,
Only the strongest will survive.
Through violent winds...
As we prepare for a daring flight.
With only the stars to guide our way,
We fly at dusk tonight.
A perilous path lies just ahead,
O’er many miles of open sea;
With no place to land to rest our heads,
There’s no turning back, you see?
It’s a 3-day flight across the ocean,
With a thousand miles left to go!
And we must stay in constant motion,
Or it’s… well, I think you know.
Some of us are bound to die,
Only the strongest will survive.
Through violent winds...

Development
1) To find my way through space, hurtling like a comet...
Aimless in my endeavors
I try to make meaning, setting course
Destinations unknown
I embark on a journey to nowhere
But to live
Am I making something of life
Or is life making something of me
Moving forward, breaking through barriers
I find my pull in the dictates of this gravity
2) You've fallen on your dreams, they're running like a river and sounding like a stream...
Catching wind of ideas
Waiting for the world behind my eyes to materialize
Finding...
Aimless in my endeavors
I try to make meaning, setting course
Destinations unknown
I embark on a journey to nowhere
But to live
Am I making something of life
Or is life making something of me
Moving forward, breaking through barriers
I find my pull in the dictates of this gravity
2) You've fallen on your dreams, they're running like a river and sounding like a stream...
Catching wind of ideas
Waiting for the world behind my eyes to materialize
Finding...

Like Climbing Vines Will Do
#1: “I love you as certain dark things
are meant to be loved, in secret,
between the shadow and the soul.”
What would it take for me in deepest woods
To find and bring you love that’s from my soul,
Without a something vulner’ble to give,
By making known the ‘allness’ you possess.
The creatures will then seek me in your lair,
Now I’m the one who hides within your arms.
The moon must find a chink to let in light,
Not even gods are priv’leged to come in.
And so it does remain...
are meant to be loved, in secret,
between the shadow and the soul.”
What would it take for me in deepest woods
To find and bring you love that’s from my soul,
Without a something vulner’ble to give,
By making known the ‘allness’ you possess.
The creatures will then seek me in your lair,
Now I’m the one who hides within your arms.
The moon must find a chink to let in light,
Not even gods are priv’leged to come in.
And so it does remain...

Geez
The western world is on hands and knees
Now world belongs to birds and bees
The lovely flowers and the trees
The mountains and the seas
The earth and the breeze
A respiratory disease
And the Chinese
Now world belongs to birds and bees
The lovely flowers and the trees
The mountains and the seas
The earth and the breeze
A respiratory disease

Love Hound
Pretty lady on my mind, consuming time from inside.
Fighting spirit indigent from lack of love.
Lost to confide, openly craving her touch.
Eager to learn your nature internal.
Heart meets doom, passionate realm infernal.
Baby ride with me and take your time with me.
Eternal, is my desire undying.
Yearning for you I die slowly, crying.
Jumping leads me to ends, with no chance to win.
My beautiful smile, as into deep, pretend.
Torture welcomed, as I let you gaze upon.
Wishing for the sin of ends, I can't pretend. ...

Flowery Kiss Amiss In Bliss
Petals glowing dripping just as one
Insects are buzzing, zooming lost among
Flowery petals, with a midday buzz
Aroma fragrance is a drift, floating in between wandering scents
Lingering smells tantalize and drift into our minds in fun
Mindlessly I drift in with it tumbling into a fresh rythim
Sailing and rising with in an enticing love
Turquoise, Amber, a hint of blue, the colors
Fading intense vibrant hue
Yellow pollen clumps then crumbles
A tendril floating following the wind...

If Only You Could Understand
Dear Fish,
I enjoy sitting here on this bank,
watching the birds fly by,
I listen to their melodies,
that calm these chaotic times.
I want to understand emotions,
of each of the creatures that I see,
From the turtles on the bank,
To the humble bumblebees.
Because within them,
You see,
I find peace,
within me.
Sweet little fish,
There's no need to swim away.
I will not hurt you,
or try to catch you in any way.

animal swag
a contrapuntal poem
the cat would on my doormat stay
behold the dog – he barks
to meow the quiet hours away
and in his eyes are sparks
her furry purr a ball of tease
enticing him to wag
by which she seeks my heart to please
the way most canines brag
a bowl of milk will pacify
a bone is his reward
the feline whims that classify
for keeping robust guard
this puff of fleeting innocence
he’s my sincerest friend
that fills my life with eloquence
until the journey’s end.
