Saying Goodbye
It’s never easy
A flood of memories rush
Images of smiles
The recollection of your laughter
Blanketed with warmth
Today filled in sadness
We paid our respects
We said our farewells
With sincere and kindhearted thank you’s
For everything you did
And for the loving person you were
My heart went out to your family
Especially to your little girls
I teared up when my boys
Placed sunflowers on your casket
Watching the other children
All those you cared for
Now grown
Saying their goodbyes
A flood of memories rush
Images of smiles
The recollection of your laughter
Blanketed with warmth
Today filled in sadness
We paid our respects
We said our farewells
With sincere and kindhearted thank you’s
For everything you did
And for the loving person you were
My heart went out to your family
Especially to your little girls
I teared up when my boys
Placed sunflowers on your casket
Watching the other children
All those you cared for
Now grown
Saying their goodbyes

The Book-Keeper
What did you do dear Judas ? Why did you dear Judas ?
Were you not the brightest of the twelve
Could you not see the plan that would have taken you with me
To those dreamed heights ? Could you not wait ?
Why could you not dear unhappy Judas?
The books you kept so well, of the cash we held,
Were of the same importance as the rest we'd done.
The way to heaven is not paid with cash,
But we were on the earth and needed you,
My dear unhappy Judas
We shared the road and joked...
Were you not the brightest of the twelve
Could you not see the plan that would have taken you with me
To those dreamed heights ? Could you not wait ?
Why could you not dear unhappy Judas?
The books you kept so well, of the cash we held,
Were of the same importance as the rest we'd done.
The way to heaven is not paid with cash,
But we were on the earth and needed you,
My dear unhappy Judas
We shared the road and joked...

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

Rock
She was my rock and not waver like the wind
now a memory as my life's leaf has fallen
between the pages of my mind
turned to gold
now a memory as my life's leaf has fallen
between the pages of my mind
turned to gold

WHEN IT COMES THAT MOMENT
There will come a time when you have to be ready and willing, to make a decision for the future, just think of it as the next journey and travel and walk to the other side of the world, with many unanswered questions with many unanswered thoughts. For no one lives forever and no one deserves to die, but yet it is the true potential of a life for it is the process of creating, a new life form within the universe of far and beyond. For who knows If there's a beautiful place in heaven, or a place where there is hell and fire like hot lava boiling. For example we may never understand nor fully...

Giotto's Angel
I watched you take it in,
this ceilinged fresco
of the soaring angel with kohl eyes
and wind chaffed cheek.
I watched then how a broadened smile
so sly, began to trace itself upon your lips
just as I hoped it would,
when you were overcome
within a feathered sigh
by all the heavened sight of him,
and how you soft began to raise your hand
unconsciously
towards his outstretched arm
as if it might be possible
to touch the blessing,
his white fingers offered you;
Oh, how your gaze,
drawn to...
this ceilinged fresco
of the soaring angel with kohl eyes
and wind chaffed cheek.
I watched then how a broadened smile
so sly, began to trace itself upon your lips
just as I hoped it would,
when you were overcome
within a feathered sigh
by all the heavened sight of him,
and how you soft began to raise your hand
unconsciously
towards his outstretched arm
as if it might be possible
to touch the blessing,
his white fingers offered you;
Oh, how your gaze,
drawn to...

Those Who Have Ears Let Them Hear
Sequestered
in the opiate
of silence
I near
the Root
and Cause
Deeper
where wind
is assuaged
and a flicker
ignites
to flame
cliffs slide
into oceans
submerging the burden
of notions
Death and life
...

Unless I go blind
Is it eyes that the first instance gifted?
Or it was a vision percieving itself solely...
In front, a Flame Imperishable shifted
and twisted its unknownness how... holily?
There is a spark in it, causing benediction.
Otherwise it wouldn't have a starting point..
It would be a ghostly unachieved prediction
that the Fourth attempt would disappoint.
Isn't our God the fourth attempt?
The Trinity that we rever like love,
the very own immortality, exempt
from death of falling apart, unworthy of.
Isn't it a paradox? ...

Upon Final Farewell
Will you remember how I danced?
when my legs ~
these batons of my body’s song,
minstrels of melodic mobility ~
rescind their perfected pirouette
and become finally slack
...Will you remember?
Will you remember how I created?
when my hands ~
these transcribers of my transition,
conductors of synesthetic symphony ~
abandon their accountability
and become finally still
...Will you remember?
Will you remember how I loved?
when my heart ~
this broken vessel of my veneration,
reliquary...
when my legs ~

WHO CAN DO THAT?
WHO CAN DO THAT?
You changed the fate of vanquished men
who were afraid of lots of things.
They lived with You and saw Your signs,
which no man could ever have done.
Their faith was that You were the Son
but they would ask, "Could He be killed?"
They were bewildered for three days
when You were in the grave wrapped dead.
Your men were scared. They lost their guide.
They did not know what they should do.
The Lord whose words led all their acts
was dead and they were orphaned kids. ...

Storm on Buffalo Trail
The oaken leaves clatter against each other in the wind
And the sky seems to run to the horizon
Wild grasses cling onto the soil as the earth erodes away
And whole fields are but clouds of silt and sand
The earth shudders as the lightning pierces through
All the air seems to tense up as thunder claps
And from a high point on the mesa
The world seems to peel away before the wind
To reveal the bones of the earth underneath
To be illuminated by the blue-mauve glow of thunderbolts
And the sky seems to run to the horizon
Wild grasses cling onto the soil as the earth erodes away
And whole fields are but clouds of silt and sand
The earth shudders as the lightning pierces through
All the air seems to tense up as thunder claps
And from a high point on the mesa
The world seems to peel away before the wind
To reveal the bones of the earth underneath
To be illuminated by the blue-mauve glow of thunderbolts

Blank
From nothing we come,
from nothing we go.
Where everything begins,
and nothing ever existed.
Life and death, good and bad,
does it really matter in here?
Nothingness
The place where all resides in."
