Powwow & Father
Powwow & Father
Iroquois Chanteuse sings a Celtic mood
For Powwow gatherers deep in the dusk
When shadows of the quiet quilt the evening
In the forever dream of a lost sun
Whose whereabouts are in the blackberry fields
On the horizon of silent tears
Of a Tibetan plateau where rhymes grow
Far from the piney halls of Valhalla
Where mystic embers go on a spark journey
To ascend the fires of Eden
But the keepers of the peace torch understand
And follow our trail
On roads etched in charcoal night
That veils...

Far from the piney halls of Valhalla

Father and Estranged Son
When such a bond exists no more, has died,
a father’s feelings, obverse to sublime,
his mind’s submerged below the Plimsoll line,
a happy past no longer serves as guide.
A burnt out bridge, close kin on either side,
the gulf dividing, widening with time,
of failed relationships, a paradigm,
with no restorative to be applied.
For everything he has and has not done
the father blames himself; reproved by son.
Fond thoughts and good intention don’t suffice,
we need both wills, both him and me to splice
and join this once tight...
a father’s feelings, obverse to sublime,
his mind’s submerged below the Plimsoll line,

A burnt out bridge, close kin on either side,
the gulf dividing, widening with time,

with no restorative to be applied.
For everything he has and has not done
the father blames himself; reproved by son.
Fond thoughts and good intention don’t suffice,
we need both wills, both him and me to splice

FEELING LOST WITHOUT YOU
As the day fades away and night is coming to the world in different shades of dark and grey, here I am feeling lost without you so near me and close to my heart and soul and mind. As I can feel your voice in the distance, between the sun and the moon whispering in my ears, like raindrops on a hot tin roof. I know that it is hard to believe in love at first sight, but I am a witness to see it become reality for example when we say goodbye. I miss you so much I can feel the tears slowly raising from my eyes, as I can feel your hand upon my face wepting my tears from my eyes. For the more I...

The Low Road
Divided in knowing
When to speak or hold my tongue
When good hearts are tainted
And gifts are given with the underlying will to manipulate and be controlling
As we make exceptions for one another
On the premise of investments made
Or excuses contrived of what we're going through
When it's sharp words versus verbal blunt force trauma
Heavy hearts harbor scars and we mean to love
But we are aggravated for our wounds and frustration
With hair line trigger reactions
Learning when to keep the false peace or make real peace ...
When to speak or hold my tongue
When good hearts are tainted
And gifts are given with the underlying will to manipulate and be controlling
As we make exceptions for one another
On the premise of investments made
Or excuses contrived of what we're going through
When it's sharp words versus verbal blunt force trauma
Heavy hearts harbor scars and we mean to love
But we are aggravated for our wounds and frustration
With hair line trigger reactions
Learning when to keep the false peace or make real peace ...

Renovating Broken Homes
Torn to be re-knit into the tapestry of a common fabric
I see eye to eye with you, where pain became a conduit to compassion
When love despite our imperfections is loving someone else as ourselves
For all the better attributes of sons and fathers
Let grace remake us where fallibility seeks for a Savior
To bridge the gap in the conversation of our lives
Filling the silence and the void of distances with healing
To mend us back together into a day born out of our darkest nights
For all the times I took for granted having you in my life

Trial By Love
Life brought you to this place
Where sons pose the question in mere existence
What caliber of man will you strive to be?
All the know how to survive and the wisdom of persistence
Passed down from struggle to redemption's legacy
The infants cry confides in you to lead
It's not a question of the scars that make us up
But for what purpose do we bleed?
Soul ties made manifest in bloodlines
No truer the bond than the byproduct of lifetimes
Imparting the lessons you've learned
Working back to square one and seeking to achieve
What you do...
Where sons pose the question in mere existence
What caliber of man will you strive to be?
All the know how to survive and the wisdom of persistence
Passed down from struggle to redemption's legacy
The infants cry confides in you to lead
It's not a question of the scars that make us up
But for what purpose do we bleed?
Soul ties made manifest in bloodlines
No truer the bond than the byproduct of lifetimes
Imparting the lessons you've learned
Working back to square one and seeking to achieve
What you do...

Sergeant's Compassion
What's to be said to the father of many?
Whether by blood, contract, or adoption's embrace
The love speaks the same in the wisdom and guidance
When to be a father is to be an example of God's grace
Too few the words to express the compassion
To do justice the way your heart is seen in action
Behind the playful hazing and illegible expression
I can see your care as upon me you've made an impression
When by law is as good or at times truer than DNA
You were there when my own felt as if to walk away
For that I am eternally grateful to...

UNLEASHED
Once the beast is let out of its cage
You'll have to deal with its fury & rage
I turned the page and ended chapters
But yet you still continue to chatter
Bigger person is what I tried to be
Your tarnishing words keep coming for me
Wanting others to believe that I'm a bad dad
Your bitter ass is just miserable and sad
A Glad bag is where that bullshit should go
Stop playing the victim in this comedy show
Nobody believes you; you need more people
I'll retain my throne by being regal
The people whom are...
You'll have to deal with its fury & rage

Looking at your picture is the only way
That I can see your face from day to day
Before Saturday, it'd been almost a year
Pride won't allow me to shed more tears
17 years old, so you've got your own mind
Making conscious decisions on how to find
Time to do what it is that you choose to do
I refuse to chase after you or force you to
Those who want to will make you a priority
Means nothing to me if I gotta use authority
You will be 18 years old soon and very soon
Hopefully one day I can play a different tune
That I can see your face from day to day
Before Saturday, it'd been almost a year
Pride won't allow me to shed more tears
17 years old, so you've got your own mind
Making conscious decisions on how to find
Time to do what it is that you choose to do
I refuse to chase after you or force you to
Those who want to will make you a priority
Means nothing to me if I gotta use authority
You will be 18 years old soon and very soon
Hopefully one day I can play a different tune

Terminal Blunders
One can never teach that which they don't know
Can't emulate a character from an unseen show
So we go with the flow, learning from our blunders
Hoping and praying that none take us under
Can't emulate a character from an unseen show
So we go with the flow, learning from our blunders
Hoping and praying that none take us under

a bluebottles tale
A bluebottle’s tale.
Flies, dark a biblical curse flew, over Alexandria
darkened the sky and hummed hell´s song.
This was not butterflies, in a summer glade.
A bluebottle got to a small hole in the window
they were bringing profanity upon the world.
I looked into its intelligent eyes a soldier drafted
to bring wars and hunger to the world,
(No, not a locust plaque that for its own sake
headless exists.)
to make wars and split nations into many pieces.
God had fated humans should remove each other,
he had made the error given...
