Poetry Drill with the Sarge

"Now Listen Up! you maggots
you pimple-arsed poetry wannabe's
sitting there in your chocolate sprinkled candy cone bedrooms
writing about how your boyfriend doesn't call
or By the light of the Silvery Moon,
Let me tell you that's all bullshit, Bull Shit!
I want you to write like a flare just ripped open the northern sky
there's enemy fire from the ridge
and you're so far down in the rocks
you're sucking in the dust of the afterlife.
Do you understand me?"
"Yes Drill Sergeant"
"I want you to write it pierced and thorned
and with every aching sinew I can taste
the road to deliverance.
Do you understand me?"
"Yes Drill Sergeant"
"DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?"
"YES DRILL SERGEANT"
"Now write something that dignifies your putrid existence,
I want your mothers smiling with every waking sunrise"
"Yes Drill Sergeant"

Say A Prayer For Spiderman

You know him as a hero with a heart of gold
But try to understand
When you say your prayers
Say a prayer for spiderman

He wants good to conquer evil
He wants love to be everywhere
And people are happy when he shows up
Cause they know he really cares

Little kids wave when they see him
Grown ups say yes he can
Do most anything yes most anything
Oh how big the heart of spiderman

No matter how strong the web of love
Some prayer is needed too
And you know when he is there
He makes you glad you are you

When you see the sun shinning upon the water
As on the beach you stroll hand in hand
If it wouldn't be to much bother
Say a prayer for spiderman

Beloved of my dreams

Beloved of my dreams
Your love fills the streams
that flow from your channel like honey and cream

Thy fullness and ripeness of
your fruit that glistens of the morning dew
Tis' the season of spring where bluebirds sing

Your scent fills my every breath
I shudder within, pondering your essence
For it reminds me of your truth of your presence

Fair maiden of spring where do I begin to measure your beauty while flowers dance
in a ring
that you may know you are blessed by heaven where angels sing

With a tender kiss of your warmth butterflies dance to their freedom you give
to remind them their reason to live

Your love drips a sticky flow within your petals as your nectar feeds life to hungry bees
As they shake the fragrant dust like fairies to ensure all is fed with the rhythm of the breeze

How I long awaited from the cold of the snow to see you again watching your love grow

I long for your smell and crave your taste yea I know you come not in haste but, in patience to not allow anything to go to waste

For when the spring rain showers its light
The heavens declare when the timing is right

For all who wait for the kingdom come as the prince of peace brings healing to the earth with a gentle embrace
perhaps we all shall meet our beloved face to face

I’ve seen the ..........

I walked away from you
‘Cause you thought that you knew
The needle was your best friend
We spoke about it many a time
What made it so sublime
We knew how it was going to end
Stronger than you or I
It’s power the ultimate sigh
How would you defend
Years have passed
How did you last
Did you manage to transcend
Through the haze
And worldly maize
I haven’t forgotten you my friend......

Lighter than air

Evening lanterns,
Strung on the fishing line,
Glimpses of light
In my path.
Everything from before
Is not important anymore.
A web of good reasons
To leave ...

There is no salt
In my eyes,
There is no pepper
In my words.
No more pain
In my heart.
I close my eyes
And I fly away.
I absorb the freedom
Of my flight.
I open my eyes
And I see the seas;
Sea of wind,
Sea of color lines
Sea of spring..

Everything  achievable
Is not significant
Anymore.
Only something lighter than air,
Deeper than dreams,
Brighter than  stars
Makes sense to me

Last Dance

Rise and twist and swirl around
You captured by the breeze
Pieces of dead leaves on the ground
Rise once again from a winter grave
One last dance around and around
You give me great pleasure to save
The memory of your lasting days
Still attracting my tireless mind
One last act before the final decay
Sends you at last away to stay

About this poem:
Rather mindless fascination and inspiration gotten looking out my kitchen window as old leaves and grass and flower head were whipped up into the air by the wind swirling around the corner of the back porch.

Socrates Said ..........

A seed was fertilised
For me to be born
Although there was passion
I believe it was torn
The youngest of four
Now on a plane
A new country perspective
And growth again
But alas I feel
My growth did stall
Trying to understand
Words and all
Not quite the same
As those around
Managed to survive
Upon playground
On the outer
But always looking in
It took a long time
To appreciate my grin
I stumbled and fell
Along the way
But that’s another story
And that was my day
Welcomed two boys
Into this life
Unsure of their destiny
Just guided them from strife
They were the lessons
I had to learn
So maturity was a fire
That did slowly burn
Weeks months and years
Passed along the way
A lonelier life
Than some I’d say
But I have been lucky
For choice has been mine
And freedom a life
That is very kind
So now as my energy
Slowly fades away
I can accept my journey
Every other day
Until I find the final end
Ever so near
I will still write
From the heart
And bless every tear ........

Dogs

Ruff
Squirt
Brandee
You were the dogs that I had
I should have spent more time with you
For that
I feel bad
You were always happy to see me
You just wanted to play
Those days are long gone now as you must be in heaven
It's been a long time since 2007

The Heathen

Oh the joys of being a Heathen,
To be free of religious Brethren.

To see things as they really are,
And to not see God in ev'ry star.

The Cosmos is vast (that is true);-
But religion makes the mind askew.

So it is this: (I humbly ask);-
Please see things as they are.

Do away with Wishful Thinking,
Which makes you stupid (like you're drinking).

Kick that Opiate; Religious Smack;
Kick it down to Hell and back!

Kick that Habit - Religious Smack;
Get that Monkey off your back!

There's probably Life (apart from us);
As we sit on our Speck of Dust.

There's likely Life (apart from you);
So respect this - as I do.

To lift the Veil, to see things clear,
Is all I ask - in this life so dear.

You will have a new capacity,
To see the truth, in its veracity.

And aliens likely have their God,
For me, I'd rather have a dog!

What makes you think God cares for thee;-
On this Earth - with all its cruelty?

For me, I think there's Nothing There;
There's just a Void - not even air.

And so I do not fear Oblivion;-
It would be nice to have no worries then.

Oblivion, then, does have no worry;-
So why then, to the Bible scurry?

If Aliens have Gods, they're not the same;
As our Earth one - hence end of game.

Is there one God, or maybe two?
Or even several - is this true?

How can there be only one True God?
I think it's all a load of schmod.

There's a possibility of Reincarnation;-
Another life's encore/ovation.

If this is true, then there's Karma;-
So don't do a thing to ever harm her.

just breathe

In this situation
Where infatuation n auxiliaration
Intoxication of liberation
Wait wait
Yes wait be patient
As it all comes together
Like ya can predict the weather
But whether or not
It's rainy or hot
Depends
And it depends on
Dance dance n sing me this song
Am I write?
Am I wrong?
Could I be high on a bong like Cheech n Chong
Wiv da energy strong like King Kong
m**turbate the mind n mek da Spirit c*m
Cu c*m c*m
Squirt dat shizz out
Action!!!
Not a bag o mout
Trust in this journey as it turn churn n burn me there can be no doubt
So I don't do doubt
I do or I die
There is no try
I am
