  • 20070227-Ape Coding

    There is a bull dog with a pen
    with one word he created men.
    Some are neutral, evil and good.
    All are one if we understood.

    The feelers are the healing kinds
    whose job is sharing all the signs.
    They send out their minds and attract
    support to those who may have lacked.

    The bouncers are the testy ones
    whose laws of the lands are their guns.
    They hide in every location
    with greed and other temptation.

    The spirits are the middle class
    whose purpose is the first and last.
    They either exist to attract
    or do not exist to retract.

  • 20070225-Last Fling

    Constant ringing, high pitch sending.
    Angles singing; sounds unending.
    Always with me, your distant star.
    Never leave me from here or far.

    Never alone for one second:-
    Never unknown. Won’t you beckon?
    No matter what ball is falling.
    Love ‘ER’ soon and quit the stalling.

    Here come the heroes of her time
    before her waking at the prime.
    What’s done is dun and now complete.
    It’s time for more between the sweets.

  • 19960221-Crescent Star

    I looked up to the starry sky
    and wondered was this all a lie
    for dating this one special guy.
    For a moment, the time draws nigh.

    My happiness faded for awhile.
    Above this half crescent moon smile-
    a lone star was shining brightly
    as the storm rain faded lightly.

    Tree of Life Flower of Life Stage

    Turn this skeleton key upside down.
    Thy kingdom comes via the crown.
    Pray from the beauty of the heart
    and fill with love from you impart.
    With voiced foundation, sing your praise
    through a sacred name of Yah-Ways.

    Test us not with your human lies.
    Trespass not with your godly eyes.
    By the six winged one flying,
    be not afraid for complying.

  • 20070224-Labcoat Lies

    Television ads with white lab coat show
    that ninety-nine percent are in the know.
    From actors to doctors with PhD, too
    they say take this or that. It will be good for you.

    They say you’re abnormal but cannot prove.
    Ingesting these pills may make you improve.
    These bullies are making crazed people sick
    and producing zombies as their clocks tick.

    Sleeping people are awake but not dead.
    They walk while asleep with no dreams in bed.
    The plain truth does hurt but love overrules
    for some who awaken to their own tools.

  • 20051114-My Offer

    I offer you nothing.
    I offer you my Truth.
    My existence is something
    through the mind of a youth.

    You may have anything
    but my soul, heart and stars.
    My love is what I bring
    to you for long [h]ours.

  • 20070221-Ash Time

    Early morning waking
    Somewhat groggily
    Sat while muscles aching
    Snoozing peacefully

    Our Father praying
    ‘One thousand hands’
    A forward discharging
    Zapped loud speakers lands

    Darkest ash on forehead
    Bless holy water
    Steak, juice and round bread
    An angel daughter

  • 20070220-Resist Site

    What’s the opposite of truth and love?
    It’s the shining light from up above.
    The truth is not shown but brightly glares.
    The love feels warm from sunshine flares.

    What’s the opposite of lives and lies?
    It’s the whining site of the heartfelt cries.
    The lives of evils bring death to us all.
    The lies are nothing no matter how small.

  • 20070220-Fatal Blow

    I do discriminate but out of hate.
    Stuck in time and in line; don’t like to wait!
    My tongue wags in ‘anger’ at these dark cahoots
    for casting first stones like picking fresh fruits.

    Don’t play the oboe or banjo for me!
    Holy knights have not lied on bended knee.
    Seven times round to share my hidden truth:
    My sharpened angle is of nail and tooth.

  • 20070220-Hedenous Growth

    Evening becomes a starry night
    after cumulous cloud in sight
    and fluffy, puffiness of white
    during the day of utmost bright.

    Dark purples clouds and dark blue skies
    filled the night with blessed disguise.
    The length stretched of massive size
    like cigar-shaped dragons wise.

    Another two poems in monorhyme.

  • 20070218-Un Us

    We are not the ends to your means!
    Some things are better than our genes.
    You can’t undo what is not yours.
    You can’t unite through tear or wars.

    We cannot mock or laugh at you.
    Flare ups are due to too much pooh!
    There’s only one way to escape
    by ending your expensive red tape.

  • 20070211-Some Monster

    Some things are meant to rest.
    You gave your all. It’s the best.
    If you would, we would promise to
    close the back door at your request.

    Whistle blowers stand up and sue!
    Justice has been long overdue.
    We chose to come with love and just.
    The time has come! We always knew.

    Worthless notes are backed with disgust:
    Full faith and credit with failed trust
    were fueled by greed that made earth’s war-
    The broken hearted bites the dust.

    Through subconscious mind of a whore:
    From shams to write-offs and offshore
    to ruinous high credit score;-
    It’s time to open your last door.
