I'm Afraid That You Are Forgetting
this was a song that was written and published by my grandma in 1931
Glow
Glowing in loves hold Rain tenderly touching me Crossing mountains peak
Dancing with the divine…
I find myself drawn to pen and paper, suddenly, I have no idea why, but, I decide to give it a whirl and see what comes through… I love you, I love you, I love you, Is a refrain that has been drumming around in my cranium these days…, Love who?
Phi
Premeditated massacres- In life we're just some passengers evil doers act as us- tongues a boom bappin rappin drum Spirit flung from on high, to flesh level, a deaf rebel vibrating like a sound wave, vacant as a vacuum gracious, taking all t
Doom
A being of thought cut from the cloth of destruction and wrath A soul of the sovereign gives hope to the goblins myth and mayhem! This kid of Abraham- on skids row EVIL exists, just to- let you kids know Bearing my cross slave to the los

Road Trip (rhyming acrostic)
Rolling down the dusty unmade road Over the rackety bridge we rode A slow trickle of water under it flowed Driving on even though the road narrowed Tranquillity not at all overshadowed Room to breath w
A Wet Day (Monorhyme)
I took a stroll on a wet November day following a track down to the byway there was a pile up causing a long delay nearby some heaps of trash left to decay rumbling sounds as I cross the tramway then down the steep hill to the walkway Into th
My Muse
I crossed the bridge of sanity I stood there, feeling invincible At the crossroads, eternity one side The other leading to liberty Sympathy I had not asked for Nor was I terrified at all For I carried the sword of lost illusions With it I co

A moment of introspection
A moment of introspection As I ponder my reflection I sometimes hate what I see based on a bitter reality I am learning just how insignificant I really am to the mass majority Those who may see this, there is little to miss of it's morality.
Faceless man
To be a faceless man to hide within the shadows stealth as I can Nobody would know if I shed a tear or judge me happy or sad or running in fear. Oh, but I may not be truly seen of what others could try to glean if I had no face to clean. I
Ivory
Incandescently shining white Velvet soft to the touch Oval shaped shells of oyster Rings embedded in walnut wood Yellowing slowly as it ages
Time
The old saying goes You can please some of them some of the time but, can't please them all the time. Love never happens on time but always at the proper time. We are a race obsessed with time always in a hurry going nowhere waiting within tim
Moondance
One night She danced upon the moon A summer night of June The stars sang to her a lovely tune Yet, tears flowed from her eyes as she looked up into the night skies She could hear the howling of the wolf cries as the wind whistled and moaned.
A conversation with my beloved
Oer' the clouds so high through the crimson sky Terns dance and fly playing happily towards the tide. The ocean ebbs and flows to to the subtle motion of the moon glow. My beloved appeared unto me out of the wind swept sea I see her walki

Languish
This parasitic atrophy, A fickle inequity at best, More often lends itself to The blossoming desecration Footlong virtue, Than sacred and noble piety.
