Big Horse Heart
Big horse heart
is sure pumping
oxygen deprivation
at 20,000 feet
breathing from the cylinder
icepick in hand
clouds far down beneath
sun on the rockfall ahead
I choose this life
to breathe hard is to compete
nature sets the board
we move the pieces
going all out now
assault on the peak
the pinnacle glowing
in the morning rays
we radio to base
summited!

About this poem:
mountaineeringAfter the war
Chopin from white ivory
skills of the master player
on this deeply polished piano
and from the verandah
they all enter elegantly
women in hats
men in suits
stripes are the order
champagne quaffed
from flute glasses
and the laughter
goes up and down the hallways
as if the war had never been
skills of the master player
on this deeply polished piano
and from the verandah
they all enter elegantly
women in hats
men in suits
stripes are the order
champagne quaffed
from flute glasses
and the laughter
goes up and down the hallways
as if the war had never been

The Day
Do not give up on the day
even when it is time for sleep
do not give up on the day
though the light dims
and your eyes close in pauses
let a man be ready
to shake back the night
do not give up on the day
if the sun sinks behind the hedgerow
and your plight makes you weary
still, still, do not give up on the day
even when it is time for sleep
do not give up on the day
though the light dims
and your eyes close in pauses
let a man be ready
to shake back the night
do not give up on the day
if the sun sinks behind the hedgerow
and your plight makes you weary
still, still, do not give up on the day

About this poem:
some inspiration
~A Promise of Prose~
Where, did my fingers go
Seemed they left, some time
Some, long time a-go.
Keyboard was ready
My mind knew it too
The pillow a writer sits on
Is near empty ink too.
The world went invert
Yet most not alert
The times have changed
Only little ears heard
While the tall ones deny
Put reality aside.
Most stuck with their hand
Hand in hand, with their phone
Umbilical cord
Don't f*ck with my zone.
Common sense out the window
Them windows are filled
Into society, streets,
Laden ill.
A red light is green while a crosswalk's
a joke.
Was the vax and the jab
Worth the scabs on your knees.
Seemed they left, some time
Some, long time a-go.
Keyboard was ready
My mind knew it too
The pillow a writer sits on
Is near empty ink too.
The world went invert
Yet most not alert
The times have changed
Only little ears heard
While the tall ones deny
Put reality aside.
Most stuck with their hand
Hand in hand, with their phone
Umbilical cord
Don't f*ck with my zone.
Common sense out the window
Them windows are filled
Into society, streets,
Laden ill.
A red light is green while a crosswalk's
a joke.
Was the vax and the jab
Worth the scabs on your knees.

About this poem:
What a phoqued up world and way too many just sit back and say nothing. Then point fingers.Mama's all knowin'
Pure heart mechanical blues
there's a sax playing on the ridge
it rained all night in Kentucky
There's shoe-shine folklore
and western desert chords
struck in 4:4
I tell you this
when the dice roll
Mama's all knowin'
trumpet blowin'
good as a circus phenomenon
Pure heart mechanical blues
there's a sax playing on the ridge
it rained all night in Kentucky
there's a sax playing on the ridge
it rained all night in Kentucky
There's shoe-shine folklore
and western desert chords
struck in 4:4
I tell you this
when the dice roll
Mama's all knowin'
trumpet blowin'
good as a circus phenomenon
Pure heart mechanical blues
there's a sax playing on the ridge
it rained all night in Kentucky

About this poem:
The Last Thing Jesus Said Before Ascending Into Heaven:“Remember ! I Am With You Always,
Even Unto The End Of The World.” Amen.
Matthew 28: 20
More and less
More and more
I want to keep silence
In response to the said nonsense,
Less and less
I want to scream,
When someone's speech
Is a sheer rudeness.
More and more
The beauty that the nature breathes
Is clearly visible
But less and less
The music is heard
Since no one hears it ...
I want to keep silence
In response to the said nonsense,
Less and less
I want to scream,
When someone's speech
Is a sheer rudeness.
More and more
The beauty that the nature breathes
Is clearly visible
But less and less
The music is heard
Since no one hears it ...

About this poem:
Just some thoughts ...
Dark
Locked in chains
No escape
Abused day in day out
No light only cruel smiles
That sends chills
Locked in this dark place
It has made us insane
Where you think of suicide
Thanks to the guards we end up
Traumatized
No escape
Abused day in day out
No light only cruel smiles
That sends chills
Locked in this dark place
It has made us insane
Where you think of suicide
Thanks to the guards we end up
Traumatized

About this poem:
How Dept. Of corrections treats its inmates
July 4
My last two karaoke songs were sung by George Michael
Freedom and Freedom 90
When I think of the fourth of July I think of freedom
Free to be who I am without judgement
Free to go outside without fearing for my safety from thugs and cops
Free to see a doctor or a dentist without financial ruin
Free to live in a house
Free to sleep without waking up too early
The songs deal with relationships
The first doesn't want freedom, all he wants is that special lady
The other freedom to have equal give and take in a relationship
Not always have to be the one always giving while the other just takes
When I was a kid it was about the fireworks
I am going to buy some today
I thought the song Afternoon Delight was about fireworks too
But as I have gotten older from 1976 when I was only six
It is about a good relationship
Where you can always look forward to some sky rockets in flight
