Sonnets...
So my thoughts have a final resting place
And poems are the common crypt
Where remnant psyche has some space
To linger after souls have dripped
Onto the compendium of time
Cased inside the hardcover safe
Of measured syllable and rhyme,
For coherency is as a waif
Still searching for a stable home
Much like a wayward angel flight
Lost over heaven's aerodrome,
Communing with the muse one night,
All on behalf of a mortal man
Just hoping for his verse to scan.
And poems are the common crypt
Where remnant psyche has some space
To linger after souls have dripped
Onto the compendium of time
Cased inside the hardcover safe
Of measured syllable and rhyme,
For coherency is as a waif
Still searching for a stable home
Much like a wayward angel flight
Lost over heaven's aerodrome,
Communing with the muse one night,
All on behalf of a mortal man
Just hoping for his verse to scan.

If Only
If only love was true to life like a story in the pages of a novel
How many of us would have stood the test of time?
Which of us would still hold on to a dream
Even as innocence is lost
Hoping against hope
When the cards we’re dealt are not the ones we want
If only our devotion to a childhood love was like the chapters of a book
Would our story be as good
No –
As Great
As we come of age
Committed in the heart of hearts
Even when misfortunes set us back
They shaped us and helped us grow
If...

In The Face Of Danger
Today is May the 30th and it's Memorial Day.
Americans are paying tribute to those who fought and died for the USA.
116,516 American soldiers died during World War I.
They died while fighting the enemy with their guns.
405,399 American soldiers died during World War II.
When I say that many have died for the USA, it's true.
58,220 American soldiers died while they fought in Vietnam.
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers have died for Uncle Sam.
The casualties were far less during the Persian Gulf War, only 219 Americans perished.
Many men fought and...

Made In Japan
Please forgive us our heavenly father
God shed his grace on thee
Crown thy hood with brotherhood and Justice for All with Liberty
It was a time that defined our identity
With a date still living on in infamy
The surprise attack from a reliable ally that back in 1941 was our enemy
Monumentally we eventually found serenity
Through divinity and with integrity to forgive attentively
With the peaceful signing of a treaty to diplomatically treat one another with some dignity
Three and a half score and seven years ago
It was terrifically...

I GRIEVE LIKE I DO MANY THINGS
I grieve like I do many things
Quickly and intently
Until I realize how much of life
Is really grieving
And that is why
I can even feel at all
The happiness I stretch out
Until it threatens to pop
And be nothing
The richness of life
All clear to me
Because of the depth
Of sadness
Not only I have felt
But those that came before me
Deep pits of sorrow
Filled with now forgotten people
Rolled in and covered over
With the dirt of modern oblivion
Quickly and intently
Until I realize how much of life
Is really grieving
And that is why
I can even feel at all
The happiness I stretch out
Until it threatens to pop
And be nothing
The richness of life
All clear to me
Because of the depth
Of sadness
Not only I have felt
But those that came before me
Deep pits of sorrow
Filled with now forgotten people
Rolled in and covered over
With the dirt of modern oblivion

Mama Mia
i saw you
in the first moments
of my life
you fed me
changed my diapers
taught me to read
in the last moments
of yours
i fed you
brought you adult briefs
read to you
even when
you couldn’t recall my name
you trusted me
always had a smile
last memory you lost
was music
i played
sixties dance tunes
you returned
briefly
moving
swaying to the rhythm
best dancer
in the room
you passed peacefully ...

God’s Kin
Onlookers gathered around
Audience in the moment of grief
Commemorated endearments attempt to comfort
Yet I still stare in disbelief
Knowing this is all a part of life in this temporal place
Even so it doesn’t take the sting from my heart yearning for embrace
Company to the absence
My madness is what I know
Better advice given than lived by
When I’m lost for holding on and learning to let go
Everyone says don’t live thinking of the weight of yesterday
But this memory lingers on and I feel the sorrow still, always, in...

The mountain air
The struggle is real
Her mind filled by toxic rot
They never cared.
By how much she feared
The end of her life was near
Never more to see moonlit nights
Nor sunsets for her to stare
Ardent eyes glisten no more
She sighed as blood soaked the floor
No one could repair the light that once shined oh so bright
Now dimmed and disappeared
No one would listen to what was written
Her suicide filled the
mountain Canyon air.
Her mind filled by toxic rot
They never cared.
By how much she feared
The end of her life was near
Never more to see moonlit nights
Nor sunsets for her to stare
Ardent eyes glisten no more
She sighed as blood soaked the floor
No one could repair the light that once shined oh so bright
Now dimmed and disappeared
No one would listen to what was written
Her suicide filled the
mountain Canyon air.

White Roses
We watched the dawn today
silent companions just a breath apart
and I gave you my voice
your words trembling through tears
Sunlight cleansed an open sill
no filter, no haze, succulent warmth awash in savory
particles sail direct yellow beams
ours is soaked, skin and hair
Twilight givings lay the fawn glisten to flowers
lone eyes of wilderness bright with wonder, shine
my sense of calm controlled by lilted leaf and apple blossom
earthen smoke wisp between trees, the far off cries, approaching deer
...
silent companions just a breath apart
