Mother ii. Home is like a drowned wood
On my bones I write the tales
gifted from marshlands,
the slip of sludge,
the black as blood,
the wheels that turned
89 miles per hour
on rough road,
the kind of pieces that break into shards,
and lay like zebra crossings
one walks across late at night.
Every chest
meeting chest
is an honest mistake,
a lesson taught
to enhance the essence of breathing,
to let out the ache
and call it back home.
I whisper those secrets on Thursdays,
the light of which pour like sparks...

At the Spreading of Her Ashes
At the spreading of her ashes,
we let our sister enter into death
to remain for all time suspended
in the abiding mystery of existence.
May we live from her legacy
and learn to love as she loved,
without caution or reservation.

Interview with Deception
see me...
I lie in the fog,
calamitous breath
of maritime maidens
singing ships to their death.
My village looks out from the cliffs
where the sea
blots the light of the sun
with its grey canopy.
The lost souls of children
dismissed in despair
envelop my dwelling
as mist in the air.
My garden remembers
a kiss by the gate,
a handful of silver,
a fisherman's fate.
Ghosts amble through halls
bearing semblance to men
who gambled for garments,
interpreting sin....

It’s Okay
We all die and it’s okay
It’s okay it’s okay
To be afraid..to be afraid
But we all die and it’s okay
We can’t get away
From our own destiny
Maybe there’s some tall grass
In the garden of Eden
When we die
We’ll live for eternity
Not much of a Bible man
But I’m starting to believe
It can’t be for nothing
Why we’re still standing
Maybe there is some tall green grass
In the garden of Eden
Maybe there is some tall green grass
Leading us to heaven
When we die ...
It’s okay it’s okay
To be afraid..to be afraid
But we all die and it’s okay
We can’t get away
From our own destiny
Maybe there’s some tall grass
In the garden of Eden
When we die
We’ll live for eternity
Not much of a Bible man
But I’m starting to believe
It can’t be for nothing
Why we’re still standing
Maybe there is some tall green grass
In the garden of Eden
Maybe there is some tall green grass
Leading us to heaven
When we die ...

A Tribute To Mrs. ZINN
Sadness covered the earth, as.the
chariot came,
And silence fell, like gentle rain.
Friends and loved ones mourned the
day
The angels came to take her home to
stay.
But, lo, the Heavens burst forth with
delight,
As another Saint came into sight!
Prepare the choir, open the gates...
Sound the trumpet, the King
awaits!!
"Welcome, my child, we've been
waiting for you!
Your mansion's prepared and your
robe is too.
Enter your home, Here,sit on my
right...
You'll be dining at...

Fastball - My Spiritual Awakening through Baseball
I can hit the fastball
But I really want to hit the slider
Same thing in writing verse
The erotic comes easy
but my own core emotions
always leave me wanting more
fom myself
So, no erotic poems this morning
Going back to the basics
My need to write
I hope you will let me in
Even though I have been hard on you
I'm not a bad guy
And I don't spit too much
When I'm at the plate
But I really want to hit the slider
Same thing in writing verse
The erotic comes easy
but my own core emotions
always leave me wanting more
fom myself
So, no erotic poems this morning
Going back to the basics
My need to write
I hope you will let me in
Even though I have been hard on you
I'm not a bad guy
And I don't spit too much
When I'm at the plate

In the silence of the grave
In the silence of the grave
The Resurrection of Our Lord
Jesus won the victory!
He conquered sin, hell and the grave
He conquered all for you and me!
Oh what wonderous love un-matchless
That our Savior humbly died
There upon the cruel Golgotha
He was willingly crucified
For three days, His body lay
In the silence of the grave
But on the Third day He arose
Triumphant over every foe!
Oh victorious deed un-matchless
When our Savior did arise
He is the Life and Resurrection
Our High Priest...
The Resurrection of Our Lord

Oh what wonderous love un-matchless

Sagrado
With her feet firm,
she stands resolute,
absolutely captivating
as she radiates,
creating a visible aura
of defense.
Intensity is so high
some are left blinded.
The open-minded
could see her glory.
Stories told
of ethereal glow
showed no justice
to her presence.
Sense the strength
in her divine grace.
Lacing my hands together
in prayer.
Scared straight
into believing,
leaving faith imprinted
on my soul.

The Big Secret
I've been walking
Talking to an angel
Trying to get that big feathered prick to spit out the big secret
That bird man won't give up the ghost
I keep trying
Keep prying
Maybe I can get that nut a little loose
May of ruffled his feathers
As I kept pushing the levers
Maybe it was when I plucked one out
Like he was just a big old goose
I keep walking
We keep talking
As we come upon a demon ghost
Bird man didn't seem to like them much
Though they won me over with some jam and toast
We all laughed...

REFLECTION (mid 1990's, Galveston Island, Texas)
look broadly at the big mirror
see the big picture reflected there
do you see and feel only darkness and fear
or do you feel and see love
joy hope beauty and wonder
looking back out at you instead
quick
look around
and behind the big mirror again
do you still see love
at some point the big mirror will break
shattering into a thousand other
individually reflective pieces
where you will still see and be left
with only yourself and the big picture
in your mind and quickened senses
and hopefully love
joy hope...

god and the devil are transitional energy
I found the devil
In the crevice of godly service.
I stood at the edge
And watched it break me,
Take my thoughts and
violate the sanctuary
I prayed to.
I was there when I was created,
From perfumed lilies,
And roadkill skid marks,
I was overcooked and
Burning from the start.
I try to rebuild from the disarray,
The char stains my hands,
And on my knees I crawl,
The distance draws farther
And my sight tunnels
Into the pit I fall.
The bottom and the top squeeze me ...
In the crevice of godly service.
I stood at the edge
And watched it break me,
Take my thoughts and
violate the sanctuary
I prayed to.
I was there when I was created,
From perfumed lilies,
And roadkill skid marks,
I was overcooked and
Burning from the start.
I try to rebuild from the disarray,
The char stains my hands,
And on my knees I crawl,
The distance draws farther
And my sight tunnels
Into the pit I fall.
The bottom and the top squeeze me ...
