On the other hand
carry rags worn
from sins committed
in the eyes of your "God"

handy left-sided
the ease of ignorance
and blindness
what a life, this

on the right hand
of nothing
individual flocks
singular selfishness

hands meet and CLAP!
thunderous element
wipes out the negative
values of selfless nonexistence

disrespect spews, stitched lips seep
the truth speaks without
being human an excuse
on the other hand...

~ A Second Hand Poem ~

~~~

I'm so sorry that I'm human
I apologize for frailness
I was created as a sinner
tis the reason for my paleness

I'm a sickly little creature
who badly needs a teacher
my life is shoddy
cuz I'm so naughty
Where the hell's the preacher?

I can't reclaim my virtue
til my sins have been forgiven
I'm on my knees
and begging please!
I can't move until I'm driven

Oh what the hell, this isn't working!
I'm just groveling in pity

Let me stand on my own two feet
and try to be a little witty

God has given me a brain
she prolly figures that I'll use it!

If I fail to think
it might well shrink
and eventually I'll lose it!

On the other hand there's people
like Neenie Beanie Baby
who's really cool
and like a jewel
her poetry allays me

And Arabella Joanie Girl
who's full of wisdom to her core
instead of groveling for mercy
I should bath in their rapport

Life is given as a gift
it's free of any fees
walk around and cherish it
instead of cringing on your knees

~~~

wine

(Abra 1/27/07)


Sorry Nene, I'm in an anti-knee mood today. rolling on the floor laughing

twisted empty branches bending, reaching
tasting ice in the sunlight
wet, where it was dry
i listened
a moth flying into the flame
says with its wingfire,
"try this!"

the wick, with its knotted neck broken
tells you the same,
a candle as it diminishes explains,
without my flame consuming
i have no breath!
burn
become light
and warm and help.
melt
the OCEAN sits in the sand

Reaching, the stretch
numbness is the touch
warmth rises farther

lightness being
and, the mirror cracks
kaleidoscope moon

the charge spent
narrow corridors weep
with narrower minds

sand covered heads
archeologists wonder
history repeats in clones

hidden from truth
reality become no necessity
merely role of dice

like ice cubes melting
like woe-is-me tears
and fingers like daggers

As waves of injustice hit crowded beaches
Eroding the shore with consistent sets of
inconsistency drowning the innocent in a
desert of the empathetic while starving
them in the garden and abundance of apathy

Hesitate in waiting to make haste slowly
and methodically providing what ever relief
you can to the punishable innocent and
drag your feet at the notion of vengeance
against the innocent perpetrators, victims
themselves in the injustice of perpetuation
and law

Searching endlessly for love
Through tangled webs of past
Not knowing where to turn
What lies beyond this path

End with out end is life’s experiences
Much pain and adversities challenged
Success of a loving relationship
Shared and enhanced by one and all

Control and manipulation no place for love
Lust will eventually hurt and reap emptiness
Much rejection felt along this bumpy road
Know how to love is the key to your heart

Unconditional love seeks no boundaries
Be kind and gentle to unselfish ways
Positive attitude attracts similar qualities
Negativity will create short lived friendships

Love yourself, always be true
Know what you need and what to do
Care and share your love with some one else
Better to give and even nicer to receive
This genuine gift called….LOVE

Marred by scars deeper
carry weight of mountains
aged stone be chipped
one by one by one...

Justice erred on contempt
without sight of just
human becomes varied in lies
spirit waiting...

Air keep flame
and the giver takes nothing
yet, walks away in tact
be the candle brighter still

They deliver the edicts of God

without delay

And are exempt from apprehension

from detention

And with their God-given

Petasus, Caduceus, and Talaria

ferry like bolts of lightning

unhindered between the tribunals

of Space & Time


The Messenger-Spirit

in human flesh

is assigned a dependable,

self-reliant, versatile,

thoroughly poet existence

upon its sojourn in life


It does not knock

or ring the bell

or telephone

When the Messenger-Spirit

comes to your door

though locked

It'll enter like an electric midwife

and deliver the message


There is no tell

throughout the ages

that a Messenger-Spirit

ever stumbled into darkness

On one hand i have all that me and my son need
the other hand theres his dad that has decided to be part of his life
I havent knowen where you were for the past 3 to 4 yrs and out of the blue you call
Now you want to see him and be a "DAD" i ask you how and you say easy let me see him
Not so easy sorry i have been his mother and father for the past 7 yrs and now there is a man that is part of our lives that treats both of us well
So i tell you now one the first hand i never want you to se him again because of what you have done
But on the other hand i am a better person than you and i will not stop him from knowing you
so what are you gonna do with your hands push him away or hold him close
