Dichotomy
Whenever serendipity occurs,
or opposite, misfortunes seem some snare,
to count this fate makes luckless folk despair;
both part of greater plan The Lord confers.
The parable, instruction’s tale recurs,
requires dispensed with some parental flair,
to teach not what, but how to think – compare –
the first scleroses as the mind inters.
The child may be the father of the man,
that if development proceeds to plan,
then man may be the father of the child –
a contradiction, but the words not wild –
the former shuns parental...

Exclusion or Inclusion
Is there a reason for a broken mind,
in Psyche’s nature, nurture, maybe both,
has thought transgressed some fundamental oath,
would comprehending cause help solve the bind?
Some think the medication is unkind,
can make cognition idiotic, sloth,
but absence makes for aberrations growth;
an equilibrium so hard to find.
To ask equality, to ask too much?
How could the norm equate that with poor thought?
To ask forgiveness, or for pity’s touch,
assumes equality with common sort.
Such damaged shards of this humanity

Mare Nectaris
Infused with her halcyon midnight eyes
a palmy moonbeam spake tranquility,
upon our nuptial bed, and Terran skies,
and aqueous humor ability
which all became her serene seas of love,
waiting for me to deeply take the plunge
that all the maids of Tethys have heard of
and each subsequently fathoming lunge
ever to founder a sailor ashore
on the lush delta of damsel demand
where treasure frequently buried for more
navigation at a later command...
plumbs a limpidity beyond compare
at all of...

Psychological
To scribble sonnets you must be skillful
Let your words trickle into a missile
Deciphering it if it's possible
Illusions are blocking your optical
Unconscious in a mental hospital
These thoughts all transcribed are methodical
And the word spacing is unstoppable
Subliminal maybe impossible
This cannot be real It's illogical
With syllables all chronological
This obsession now patholigical
And my disorder neurological
My thoughts and words are diabolical
This...

Frostbitten
Awoke, amid my heart, found frosting quick
Unknowing as to when I fell asleep
From winter solstice ice chill gathered thick
Supine among the alpines, eyelids creep
With crystalline-based breathless pleas to Him
As liquid past reminds to me old love
But changing winds bring forth, behind a scrim
A thawing sun, ignites to sky above
And spring brings blood red warmth to this dead heart
Lost love recalls in present veins to flow
Abundance melts steel future to depart
Into the past and fade away as snow
Just as the Winter's grip gives...
Unknowing as to when I fell asleep

But changing winds bring forth, behind a scrim

And spring brings blood red warmth to this dead heart
Lost love recalls in present veins to flow

Loss
What have I seen?
not actually sure
a losing team
there isn’t a cure
batters could not hit
pitcher let up many runs
balls popping out of mitts
fans annoyed; this was no fun
no hope for them
fans have gone away
behind by 10
maybe some other day
fans today were shedding tears
future days bring applause & cheers

Twilight Furrows
Twilight Furrows
The evenin' stretchs out somber shadows
Snaking slowly, across the deep furrows
And the far distance holds a fainting glow
It's time then, for a regretful adieu ........!
Between the pines, walking the outworn lane
An endless path, watching a sun that wanes
Among fiery mist, and a blinking ray,
A path, that holds remains of yesterday
Burnt umber land, turned at december's throes
Lonely sparrow and a pack of black crows
A whole year flew by, the idles lands lie
Yet, no time when...
The evenin' stretchs out somber shadows
Snaking slowly, across the deep furrows
And the far distance holds a fainting glow

Shakespeare's must
Courage. and fill each empty theatre seat
a face of of tragedy and comedy
wringing emotions, from the crowd that peep
players set with with words of alchemy
Vest the manuscript with a plot thats bold
twists and turns with malevolence churned
cheers and boos, crowd hot then cold
great tales with some outcomes unconfirmed
For its a brilliance none can match
mask, of grins and tears always prevail
heroic death fall on a sword perhaps
turn ones hand to a Shakespearian tale

Sonnet Nr.03 — Tragedy in Gaza
In the Gaza Extermination Zone
unacceptable by any measure
the dogged pursuit of Hamas erasure
kills civilians in and out of their homes;
as buildings collapse, hear the crunch of bones
relentless missiles fired with a leisure
that clock religious measure-for-treasure
dating back to fantasy chromosomes
Strange, Palestinians too are Semitic
Jewish-Arab brotherhood rejected
extremists in charge, apocalyptic,
fellow humans march for peace, suspected
meanwhile,...

Prolegomenon
I am no bard nor peaty voiced actor
to master the trodden stage planks of old,
but a high and low brow cross-bred factor
who likes his English both peaty, and bold,
and to pulsate forever on a page
as much as it might ever do if heard
when uttered upon some elegant stage
favored to hark only the finest word,
mulled...excruciatingly phonemic...
all for fear of his own voice resounding
like something too terribly anemic
for an audience all too astounding;
with a godlike savvy of the medium, ...

Aftermath's Absolution
The sun only rises when we both fall
Entwined bloody in a wrathful resolve
After all I only want your fury
Buried in your light with planets burning
The moon, your servant musing my mind
Between ballet and a respite requite
I write black oceans to guide your blue skies
Filling horizons, disguising lies
The dawn which you gave is cold, misleading
Enslaved star on the dusk of your evening
You make me wish I were a tidal wave
Force of nature born from a beggars trade
The sunset belittles the sunrise dirge
Both...
