Life's close relations wait for no one
The simple wave or hello spoken
Others spark a casual beginning
When a friend is the greatest gift
I have passed on adventure percieved
The voyage sailed or cross town venture
These are trips I gave up easily
No remorse for miles not followed
People are a different story
The way not explored
Or the friendship not accepted
These I do regret
Everyone of us listens to a voice within
The moral compass or heartfelt word
When I have ignored these
I am remorseful
A child who was left behind
The years show mistakes uncommon
When women were more often chosen
Or followed like a fool so blind
It wasn't vanity or fortune valued
Just a quest for love that never arrived
The journey private and simple
Driving towards a vision that proved to be illusion
While true love and friendship vanished behind the gate of poor choice
All that remains is verse written and doubtful pleasures I have retained
The value of which lingers sadly on my life
The tears that are amassed are of little solace to what I have missed
The gentle smile of youth and the casual distraction of life back then
As we age towards an ending our vision fades
Though our perception of what we should value in life becomes razor sharp
When the wind whips wildly pay attention to what is whispered
The slender voice or sudden urge
No dam salvation will be waiting
If you ignore the voice within that knows the truth and awaits an answer | |

Posted: 4/22/2010 7:05:16 AM | The Bitter End
The South has mercifully fallen
What has God and man brought forth
Grieving piles of charcoal
Stately dwellings burned with chimneys stark and staring
A chilling quiet when men and boys are no more
Dear memory fading of happier times and fields of plenty
With little to eat and hearts hung low
The is the bitter root of gallantry lost
No Dixie tune joyous
Only wishful remorse mixed with hunger
What was a land of chosen gentry
Is now lined with the stain of sorrow
My fathers's labor lost and withered down
Like stalks following the harvest only stubble bare
And the hard earth with tears upon the shadow of our existence
If we could return to avoid this fate
To reshape destiny from the ruin we have wrought
The tale revised
The Southern stratum re-sung
Could we rise above our eventual downfall
To once again be the land of chivalry anointed
Of plantations gleaming with cattle and crops
An air of Southern satisfaction
Where the question of states rights are boulders formed
And not water as the illusion of federal law held
Or would our chivalrous egos
Cast us down the same path unfortunate
The sacred cause forever lost
An era of plenty gravely ended
Time is no friend to a people to proud or arrogance waiting
This pain is ours of the making
A landscape forever changed and a people marked and scared
No Southern retreat through time
Yet the mornful battles are finally over | |

Posted: 4/22/2010 7:23:14 AM | The Selfish Beast
Five Billion years this rock will spin
For in a heartbeat our mortal sin
The ice caps melt the glaciers gone
Trapped and challenged the end forewarned
Still we cut we burn and drive
The doom of cars we have no time
For ages past we build and kill
The death of all we do instill
Poor earth dear heart she trembles so
We claim the prize for ego's cold
No death for her she will remain
Still dust for us the virus tamed
Poor sight dear one the mother birth
No heaven here on our green earth
The chemistry of life's design
The proof will come with sad demise
So goes our past dear selfish beast
Our lazy feast on sands beneath
The dry and claimed through acid rain
For all our promise
Only death remains | |

Posted: 4/22/2010 7:37:53 AM | [Preamble]
First female Atlantic a wing on in flight
Poetically spoken post Lindbergh by five
Amelia
Dance skyward on silver
To east and towards home
The Pacific host massive
The Electra alone
Around the world glory by destiny found
Her fanfare and fame no Howland no sound
With her fuel near on empty please pray if she dare
The devotion that comes from a life at God's stair
The sputter of engines
The fall without flame
A search past forever
Her legend remains
Soar on the wind rising with lark and eagle trace
Sad Pegasus mourning heaven's given grace
A falcon heart leaps...---...on clouds and belief
Lost Amelia | |

Posted: 4/23/2010 6:26:27 AM | A Girl So Patient
The tender tones give her away
My girl ablaze in her passion
Just an angel set free
Tossed by storms my whole life
This girl who brings me tea and holds my hand when the lightening flies
She settles my being
When laughter performs the impossible and tragedy falls silent
Her willingness to be open and vulnerable
As I become what I truly am
A girl who waits so patiently for me
The lady knowing my secrets
Tells not a soul
As her lips gently brush mine
I witness happiness | |

Posted: 4/24/2010 7:54:32 AM | The Savage Within
The friendly, gentle and wise
Man's kindness bestowed
Sweet kisses given in love
A touch out of friendship
Charity to the less fortunate
The comfort of a hug gifted
This is the best of what we are
Food shared, help provided, support for the weak
All of this makes me proud
So my heart does cringe at the savage within
Too many times we see the suffering
The tidal flow of evil present
As pain is provided and death is the real world
Of all of earth's creatures we have something so very special
The ability to chose benevolence over evil
Kindness over calamity
What holds our souls to the hot flame of corruption
Wicked misfortune through out our history
Depravity and sinfulness over time
What drug or demon present holds the mystical key
The choice is ours so easily
When love begins the day and stays
This is man's zenith
The pinnacle of our being
To bad we chose too often to sleep with foul disaster
To rut like pigs in the waste of illicit choice
When we could be flying like eagles born
While tasting the Olympus gift of beautiful existence
The mistake of our linage
So sad I say
So very sad | |

Posted: 4/24/2010 8:12:59 AM | The Scarlet Rose
Passion is mine through heavy doors
Once I cling to her sultry form
Took years to find what I was searching
The go between and truthful charm
A voice of amulet quiets the alarm
I heard of a legend from a sorcer's tale
Of a charm long hidden to bring love without fail
A single deep burgundy-red rose
Beneath a mountain so small
Where snow never fell or at least men could't recall
When magic was sprinkled and dust did remain
The destiny envied brought some host great pain
So I traveled the journey in search of petals so true
To speak of a feeling felt and what I want to mean to you
Of love like the young and impassioned though years have surely been gained
The cost of indecision and lessons from that pain
The rivers were quite swollen and I swam as never before
I tread the ice and cold of night to love forever more
Of couple's betrothed and details I can never explain
I ventured by your side just to say your sweet name
So I bring to you a dear scarlet rose
What maidens only hope
The feel and will and the long engaged
Mine is the spirit aloft in her blithesome way
When her heartbeat and the lessons learned are shared with total joy
By my bed and by my wisdom to all who quest for love
Who search for the joning of devotions only two
Find a scarlet rose and she will be yours
The wind of love beside you. | |

Posted: 4/24/2010 8:29:02 AM | Dire Terror
We hear the screams
Coming closer to our street
Will danger's daughter pass
The poor and lame
The victims claimed
A cruelty of death devine
The somber lie soon realized
With troops on trucks who dare dispose
The weak and frail to insanity
When soldiers crush as front doors falter
Machine guns rage
The shouts our cries
Within me the excessive hate it lies
My family dragged from our home
If I behave will I be safe
No rules or judgments follow
The chase and catch
The tortured match
How freedoms illusion roams
The dictator's wish of evil bliss
All host to sanctity torn
I long for the day
When good people can say
What liberty allows
Why terrorize with feeble conscious born
The hunted found
The deadly sound as dear red blood it flows
Sick ruthlessness of wicked sown
Our ancient curse the primal home
Mankind's bitter history
The truth exposed
I long to shout and burn them dare
To blast and cast and kill
To be the victor so endowed
A mirror of the beast foretold
Alas I fear a troubled tear
Revenge so desperate I
My soul to save from being
A reflection of the men
Not I | |

Posted: 4/24/2010 9:36:43 AM | The King Is Dead
With a blue sky full of promise
A kingly column moves slowly past
Our present day Arthur gliding among his loving subjects
The gleeful horde shouts their approval
While innocent children are held on high
So they may see this gentle king with his dark lady fair
Ghosting along the stone spires of a hostile southern Camelot
Few changes are peaceful or forgiving
Most involve a tempest or strong upheaval
Dirty back room dealings with paid for loyalties
Done by men of power or wealth
Though little else that's worthy of praise
No abication this or election voted freely
A slaying complete as weapons found their mark
He fell slammed hard and bloodied
Slumped beside his lady fair
His body and his ideals covering her and the carriage that carried them
While soft voices wept
Chaos rained
As the grief that followed clouded our judgment
And shadowed the guilty among us
For mock investigations create the illusion
That justice is being served
But alas no justice is present
When facts are disobeyed and lies pass as golden truths
We are the bearers of this slaying
The loyal children who were held on high
But have never been able
To see | |

Posted: 4/25/2010 9:29:46 AM | The Great Beauties Of Entertainment
With Lauren Bacall
I'm lost in her eyes
When Elizabeth Taylor
In Cat shows her thigh
As Kathleen Turner
In a Body Heat trance
The girl Rachel Welch
Gave her beauty a chance
I loved Barbara Stanwick
The vixen for real
And Brigit Bardo
With her hot exotic appeal
As Ester William is swimming through time
Farrah our angel
From earth she did fly
As Natialie Wood
To heaven she's drawn
And hot Rita Hayworth
Could dance till the dawn
Blonde Doris Day
A sweet girl next door
And sexy Joan Collins
Yes, Dallas and more
From Clara to Jean
And Mansfield so fine
Lee Remick my word
The Long Hot Summer time
Stephanie Powers
No heart left in me
Or Loni Anderson on WKRP
Jane Russell In The Outlaw
Hughes had a plan
And hot Ava Gardner
Frank was her man
A young Vanna White
In a picture I viewed
Or Erica Elainiac
In a Spanish hat and sexy see thru
The dozens of others
Whose names I can't recall
And though you may laugh
A young Lucille Ball | |

Posted: 4/25/2010 9:38:21 AM | Will Bogart Be Waiting
I love the romance
The granduer of old Hollywood
Screen legends and devoted dames
Gable and Lombard
Bogart and Becall
Though I have often wondered
Will Humphrey be waiting when Lauren passes over
We spend our lives searching for love
A faint few actually find it while most search in vain
Though a simple thought occured to me
Maybe that love has already been brought to light
She just waits for me on the other side
This would explain why we have never discovered it
It was uncovered years earlier in another life or in another time
So I hope when she goes Bogart is waiting
They had so little time together in this world
The fourteen years of love and laughter
The films and stellar premiers surrounded by the quiet moments
This passion they shared was hopefully timeless
I pray dearly he is waiting for her
That would be a Hollywood ending
For all of eternity | |

Posted: 4/26/2010 7:23:03 AM | After
I weep
As I have for many years
Missing what is your smile
The tender touch and all that you gave
My girl you would press your lips and realize my love
Hours alone have changed that very little
I still love you and always will
My sad fate upon this earth
In love while alone
I tremble | |

Posted: 4/27/2010 6:36:30 AM | Love Hidden
Secret and secluded
A liasison
When he enters joyous
Dazed from love and the finale
A pause for breath and thought
She lingers
Skin to skin
Happy | |
|
| A Day In September
Posted: 4/28/2010 7:16:06 AM | Never Enough
Words come so easily
All else is sad and lost beyond
I have learned to accept
The path that I'm upon
That love is absent and the loneliness
A man of no means
When I said I cared for her
It wasn't enough
It was never enough
So many times women heave spoken those words
To gain what they desired
Till life became too mundane and they flew away
A bird so sweet with little remorse
Tragic in form with my heart livid from the loss
This is the sight given in exile
The constant reminder of the beauty stolen
For she alone stalks her prey
The lioness and the chase
While I am the quest fatally conquered and forgotten
So easily I regretfully discovered | |

Posted: 4/29/2010 7:52:43 AM | Sailing Lovers
Deep the emotion between us
As you walk by my side
What I feel is the ocean breeze
Sand in our toes and moments of laughter
Blankets and bon fires with quiet waves washing
The stars amazing and your beauty surreal
Our sailboat at the anchor
Freedom joined with affection
I cook for you in the evening with joy and pleasure
The foreplay between us as devotion is given to lovemaking
Till the morning birds sing as we drift to amorous dreams
The life we imagine with power and gifts
A woman who wakes in my arms
Sails with me on waves unimagined
For I am the believer in love for the ages
With you in my life and the ocean spread before us
As my heart goes forth forever
We share the blue horizon | |

Posted: 4/29/2010 8:05:06 AM | The Killing View
The beast
A lioness
Stalking silent so still
A breath till death
The flash and cry
No lullaby as jackal babe is caught
The mother lion to feed her brood
When hunger is the mood
The savannah holds all
Weak and small and deadly
Nature's still evening so near
The quiet after the kill
The destiny of life's cold fact
Un-denied I cry as jackal babe quivers
Short shaking legs as the end approaches
She is caught the little babe lives only moments longer
Why oh why I wonder
Though I know the answer
Still it hurts to view
The killing soon | |

Posted: 4/29/2010 8:28:09 AM | No Limits To Loneliness
I have words left unspoken
Amid thoughts held silent concerning our love
That will not be told
Epic wants pressed between pages
As a flower is kept for the day when she is no more
I am growing older
As heartache knows no limits
Loneliness comes not only to the child but to the aged as well
We pass through sand and fire only once
Simple and cruel
Love wasted is the greatest loss
A life held quiet or a man or woman left alone
I am not handsome as youth once enjoyed
My hands are hardened by task unseen
Though my mind is full of promise
While my body still yearns for your soft embrace
As my loins still last till the morning
I lust for the distant call
Her pleasure spilled freely in days together
With lights burned low and authors read with reverence
Without her
I am afraid of the dark or the unforeseen
I will wait
For love with any other would be sadness proclaimed
You are my one desire's name
Even if we are no more | |

Posted: 4/30/2010 7:46:10 AM | Prejuice Veiled
Hatred open and unmistakable
So easy to keep track
While bias that is hidden
The silent loathing
Is much harder to unwrap
The callous beneath
A manner so sweet
The sinister hatred of men with deceit
So easy to mistake
The quiet manner shown
His clothes of silk over deadly bones
The deep pool of Diablo with loving tones
No master or priest
A bigot lies beneath
Prejudice complete | |

Posted: 4/30/2010 8:05:18 AM | The Dark Illusion
To paint him as insane
A psycho unprecedented would be too simplistic
Darkness devoid of conscience
This is danger's tapestry
Though how do you explain a nation and a continent
Held captive by his undisputed influence
All at once that is the profane realization
Madness was there along with a reckless nature
A sublte capability to conjoin and captivate
Mass hysteria almost hypnotic in it's presence
Fear all mighty corrupts the conscious of both men and women
Though other issues are brought to mind
A human factor of wanting to please the father
Unquestioned loyalty while being submissive to the regal
All of this was present a fatal fawning
The smiling serpent with Cheshire cat grin
Charming when it suited deadly when provoked
Using the realms of patriotism and honor twisted
This was his dark illusion until the final ending
With roots traced through Wagner and mythological Germanic lore
This cancer source of what became a nightmare
Till the fog lifted and they finally understood
What had occured in their absence
The absence of their sanity and reason
Still that holds true of today's leaders
Beware the false prophet who implores through hatred and vicious act
Who's ranting and raving against certain religions or ethnic groups
Spells doom and disaster
He is the wicked incarnate
Though he appears as the savior
He is the beast alluring
A deadly combination for all who follow and worship
Unaware. | |

Posted: 4/30/2010 8:45:35 AM | The Traveler
I long to see Paris
Copenhagen or Rome
The rare sight of London
So far from my home
To voyage the ocean
To see distant lands
Down south Argnetina
I think would be grand
The Pyramids regal
Or Moscow some day
The Alaska grand vista
Or Great Hudson Bay
The green hills of Scotland
Ireland or Wales
The whole British Isles
Before memory fails
These treasures I've longed for
Though above all the rest
One place I do covet
I've learned is the best
You can't journey by sailboat
Or fly in a plane
A car would be useless
Or on a fast train
I 've wished and I've wanted
To live in this place
The journey well ended
With Mercury's grace
A voice well within me
Will get there in part
The oasis I long for
Deep inside her dear heart
I've know many fine women
Their pleasures I've found
Though deep in their souls
I've never been bound
Not just for a visit
To fondle and play
This place that I search for
I want forever to stay
So show me the highway
The course and the track
The path or the marker
The way that I lack
The galaxy stellar
The Milky Way shown
The ghost of forever
Great love not alone
And when I arrive there
I no longer will roam
I will kiss her so gently
For I will finally be home | |

Posted: 5/1/2010 9:06:26 AM | What You Say Quietly
Your photo speaks of a girl who longs for two
I sense you are lonely
The distant life or a lover close
For nothing matters except your choice
A true beginning or a peaceful wind if I lose you
For even if my feelings fail
I sing your chorus and wish you fortune
I have held the secret what others seek
A honey taste or glory tried
And though your picture holds my heart
It pales to the vision I carry of you
Not from a photo sent or words spoken too quickly
A quiet happiness from your loving attention
The depth of your letters as we are on the eve of emotion
The moan of years is never heard
As we dance the romantic exhibition
Cradled in each other | |
|
| A Day In September
Posted: 5/1/2010 7:15:50 PM | beautiful :)
Your poems gave me great pleasure
as a gazed down the page
there is no way to measure
the beauty of shit can't think of anything to rhyme with page
gold star for you
with eyes of blue... | |

| A Day In September
Posted: 5/2/2010 10:27:22 AM | Loneliness
I know the past speaks a dire view
The withered pine with broken rain
No simple picture on muddled canvas
The lost with scant praise
Torn hills misty cold with the inner post of despair
Obscure hope falling quiet and solitude rendered true
The jackal cry with somber signs
Her voice fades through hateful seasons as I am left alone | |
|
| A Day In September
Posted: 5/2/2010 10:37:23 AM | Love's Shadow
Post from my gilded heart
With timely rhythm
The love I joyously shared
Mere shadows fall so quietly
With tragedy so callous
Against the glare of love's misfortune
So near and yet lost amidst the coming night
All that I engaged in was true
Yet will somber shadow pass
The calm after the tempest
For even storms have reason
With temper fair and her hair across my shoulder
Close and yet a mystery still
You may never know her heart
Or know her mind as desire remains
The lock that keeps the secret
Alas for I have lost the key
She remains cloistered and secluded
In love's shadow
So hidden from me
I sadly grieve
So hidden is she | |
|
| A Day In September
Posted: 5/3/2010 6:45:15 AM | An Angel Pictured
Sultry lines
You bare in my mind
Passion folds the soul within
All care to the girl
So fine in forties form
The angel passion that holds
While envy is present for the man
Who claims and loves you | |
