A Bonnie Lass...

Though miles separate,

Souls Unite;

the way we See things

in the same Light,

in how we Believe,

in what is and shall be

Wrong and Right,

in our Honest effort,

in the Good Fight...

Though Hearts yearn,

there is more than this

to be Learned;

in someone you can turn to,

in Feelings returning to you

when you thought

all Bridges had been Burned,

you Understand, Realize

there are still some

who have Concern for you...

 

Though we fall in Love,

it is more than Lust;

a Feeling of Trust

that means so much more

and that is why

I Adore you...

DeBait...

Lasting impressions

amid the Art of Misdirections;

respond to

but never Answer the Question;

Pay Attention,

Listen closely,

Lost within Analogies,

Inferences and Innuendo

all intended to send you

into a State of Confusion,

where you fall

for the Illusion,

no longer reaching

Sane Conclusions,

caught within Another's
Tangled Web

laying like wet coils

at your feet

amid the Raging Seas

of the Political Storm...
 

Are you keeping your hands

Warm by this Fire

as the House Burns

around your Ear?...

Waking Dream...

It's is almost funny
how nothing is as bad
as you make it seem;
you can make a Nightmare
of your fondest Dream,
there is more than black and white,
there's a Myriad of Colors in between;
this is what I've come to Believe ...

Seven Colors of the Rainbow,
seven Wonders of the World,
seven Days to every week,
seven ways to make things work;
all it takes is Hope and Faith
to Believe it's not too late;
you can always set things straight
if you put your Mind to it...

Janus (III)...

Physically,

there is little

I can't accomplish,

the Machina et Deux

runs on auto-pilot,

Motor Functions

and Reflexes,

(honed by Years

of fevered Anxiety)

are Razor Sharp

and Lightning fast;

as Grandpa McCoy said,

"Not braggin', just facts"...

 

It's the Mental State,

always a dollar short

and a Day late,

should something

I did not anticipate

be tossed into my ring,

the Circus unravels,

Chaos is King,

the Brain loses

and the Tortured Mind wins;

could be Days before

you will recognize me again

whilst I Battle

Old Enemies

from Deep within...

The Angels Sing...

Looking upon

the empty room

with not thought

of Gloom and Doom

but of Possibility

because of my Capabilities,

of the Skill Sets

acquired in a Lifetime

of Learning,

of the Burning,

the Desire

Always,

to know more...

 

Find an Instrument

you can play;

 Believe we can all play

one Instrument,

at least,

we just have to find

the one that suits us...

 

Find a Song,

you can Sing,

find your Key

for we are all strung

but Differently...

A Cautionary Tale...

There is no Fool

like an

Old Fool,

not "Old School"

but No School

for he's Learned,

Nothing,

for he's Earned
Nothing,

for he's Burned

Bridges he never built;

he thrives on

the Suffering of Others,

he causes Gnashing of Teeth,

Rending of Hair

and Mothers Beating Breasts;

he Cares Not,

he Thinks Not

of Others,

just himself

and how,

 in his Self-Serving Arrogance,

he can bring you down...

 

Ignore, Avoid

this Clown;

Pride Goeth Before the Fall,

loudly will his Cries Resound...

Feb. 21, 2016 

The Clarity of Reality...

You really don't want to See

the Homeless in your town;

"Go die where we won't See,

someplace where you won't be Found"

until the smell brings

the Police around...

Here's a Band-Aid

for your Arterial Wound,

let me Warehouse you here

where the bed bugs abound

and close f0r the Weekend

and on National Holidays

and not before nine

and not after five

'cos at those Time, to us,

you're not Alive;

then let me send you to Jail

when your Frustration

and Anger explodes,

let us clog up the Court System

with this Tragic Overload,

let me look with Disdain

because you can't explain

yourself or your situation

because you're only

part of an Equation

we can never Understand...

Generation of Vipers,

Ass Kissers,

Condescendingly Rude,

Jaded, Self-Ingratiating

Liars and Thieves

making your Living

but not having a Giving Heart

or Understanding Soul,

full of Self-Serving

Hypocrisy and Ambivalence,

doing little Good and more detriment,

you see the Problem

as it Exist

and still the Deterioration

Continues...

All this in whose Name?

have you so little

Conscience,

go about without a Drop of Shame

at how you continue

with this Worthless,

Wasted Effort

(No, not even that)

you merely tip your hat

at the Homeless

and wish them,

"Have a Nice Day",

and ,oh, not so subtle,

"Fuck You,

keep out of My Way"...

Lord, tell me He

is already Risen

and is Coming to Save

the Forlorn, Forgotten,

the not even known

to be missing...

Those who have an Ear,

Listen;

to your own Empty Words,

Empty Lies,

Empty Hearts,

your Humanity is Missing

and you Know Not,

for in Reality

you Care Not;

you just hope your

little enough

feeble attempts

(if that)

will keep you

from the Hot Spot,

but it will not,

for the Lord Sees,

fall to your knees

for it is already

too late

for all you

Diseased Souls;

Fear the Trumpets,

they Sound soon,

they Sound

your Doom;

Fools, Vipers,

Generation of Degradation,

your own Twisted Creation

will swallow you whole...

Lord, Judge me Worthy

to see Your Coming;

Know I Tried,

Know I Cried;

Lagrime Mundi,

Familia Fundae,

Orbis Erratum

but leave the Earth

to your Lamb

turned Lions

by Your Hands;

allow me my staff

to fight alongside Your Host

when You Decide

the Fate of the Most

and the Reward of the Lesser;

I await

at Your Leisure;

all thing in Your

Good Time;

Your Will be Done,

not mine...

Feb. 18, 2016



Comes to Mind...

Love is not an Emotion,

it is an Act,

listen to your Heart,

Heed your Soul

and Understand

this is Fact...

 

Fear is an Emotion

overcoming Senses,

Blocking Rational Thought,

stopping your Comprehension...

 

Anger is Frustration

at the circumstances

of your situation,

stifling the Mind

so you can't make Sense

of the equation...

 

You already Know this,

not telling you anything new;

Realize, Theorize,

begin to See

the True Meaning;

let not Desire

have more than its share

in the Glow

of Twilight's Last Gleaming...
 

Feb. 15. 2016

 

Downward Spiral...

This is just a Cage

where I am hidden

from Polite Society

so my improprieties

need not be made public;

Go die somewhere else

where we won't see,

so we can rest easy

in our Belief

that we did the best we could,

not for you,

but for ourselves;

As long as we are safe

the rest of the World

can be destroyed...

 

You don't see me,

you don't hear me,

you don't really want to know,

that far you don't want to go

for this Hell is too much

to ask of anyone

and I 'll bring you down

to the Depths with me,

both of us

gasping for Breath...

 

How many Times must I say,

in how many ways

must I express

or try to tell you;

you have no idea

of the Agony;

all you see are

my Attributes

and think that refutes

my Faults,

but they don't...

 

I can't, I won't

I scream, I Rage

and you turn the page

at another sad tale

nearing its untimely end;

be sure to send flowers
to mark where it was

not in your Power
or your Desire
or you were not Inspired...

Too tired, too weary

for nobody sees me,

only my Ghost...

Jan. 25, 2016

 

Last Warning...

Fighting ourselves,

our Animal Nature,

the Sensual, Sexual

Social relationships,

the trips

down the Rabbit Hole,

the loss of Intellect,

giving way to Emotion,

the fading Self-Control;

is it all really

in how you roll?...

 

Don't fool yourself

(as if you ever could)

but isn't that the cause

of all the trouble

in the neighborhoods,

Fools parading,

Boys masquerading as Men

in the Animal Pit

this World had become?...

 

Run, now,

before it's too Late

for too long, Fools

you have stolen

from the Host's Plate

and soon you will

be tossed out

with the offal

for the Dogs to devour;

Fear the Trumpets,

the soon announce the Hour...

Jan. 22, 2016

Separation Anxiety...

Looking beyond yourself

at a given situation,

removing yourself

from the Equation,

turning to a blank page,

tuning in to another station

to view Reality

without the Duality,

the Ying and the Yang

and the Banners that hang

loosely in musty halls,

playground laughter

and theatre catcalls;

little wonder that it all

is too much at times...

 

It is Distance

that gives Perspective,

not unlike

The Prime Directive,

Jim,

Live and Let Live,

help when and where you can

is not so hard to understand

but is it Man's Vanities

he imposes against Humanity

that makes him blind

so he that he does not

want to hear or see

The Truth

before his Eyes;

so much easier

to live a Lie...

Gearing Up (Battle Armour)...

Winter's Solstice,

what do you most miss;

in a Childhood,

gone all too soon,

to the Stark Realities

of Forlorn Youth,

Ravages of  Time,

Savages on the Seven Line

 crossing from DisCivilization

to the HinterLand

where Beasts of Color still roam

and the aromas alone

will transport you there;

changing Countries,

even Hemispheres

by the smells in the Air;

Cumin, Paprika, Curry Powder

as the Music changes also

but the Beat,

always the same,

Rhythmic, Feral,

 not the sterile mayonnaise
of this Misbegotten Age...

 

Rage for but a moment

at this stage

perhaps best to lie Dormant

and watch the Maddening Crowd,

the Apathetic Herd,

whilst I turn my PlowShares

into sharp Swords;

the Army of the Lord

will have need of such...

Dec. 25, 2015

 

Take it Up ( Your Lot in Life, Your Cross to Bear)...

Divine Madness,

Infinite Sadness,

Situations ludicrous

for what can frustration do,

but increase the Disbelief

in the way

things have come to be;
in the Pomp and Circumstance,

see the Gallows Twitching Dance
no one seems

to want to understand,

All want to be lead,

some by the nose,

some by the hand;

Void of Purpose,

your Purpose is the Void

in a Soul destroyed,

betrayed by misuse;

what sorry excuse

will you give when asked

for the Reason

you stood by

and did Nothing?...

He among you

who is without Sin,

a Good place to begin;

can you take it on the chin,

take one for the team,

can you lay your Life down

saying,

"Here it is, I don't need it,

I will always have my Soul",

do you have that much Control?...

Measuring Jerusalem...

Measure for measure,

the Accounting has begun;

matter not where you stand ,

of no avail would it be

for you to turn tail and run,

too late for Good deeds

with Evil intent done

for the Scales of Justice

will take the portions

and find the Worth
of Everyone
and those found lacking,

the slack jawed,

the Fools laughing
as the House burns around them,

will become as Shadows,

will fall like Sparrows

fleeing the Hawk's talons

as the Tempests rages

and the Rains fall in gallons,

turning Mountains into Plains,

then, it will be too late

for you to change your Mind...

Not all comes

to those who wait,

the Seed of Doubt
grow into the Fruit of Faith;

look to your Hear,

realize before it's too Late

that what you're waiting for

is within you to Open,

you only need to realize

you need more...

June 27, 2015

It All Flows...

Are we changed

by Circumstance;

is it as simple as that,

is it all left to chance;

Life, Love, Romance,

all just Happenstance?...

I think not;

there is much more,

what might lie ahead,

what waits in store

depends upon

the avenues you explore,

if you answer the knock

upon the door;

the Choice is yours...

Every Stone cast

into the Water

affects the surface

but sinks to the bottom,

never to rise

(no surprise)

but the Tree that grows

along the banks

draws Nourishment

and is Content

to watch the Water,

knowing it,

Loving it

and Happy

for its company...

Danny Flynn...

Coins tossed

into the ring,

tuxedos instead of togas,

but it's still the same thing,

ye gods,

the Inhumanity;

does anyone remember

Danny Flynn?...

If you Believe,

if you know you're Right,

Fight,

you can lose

and still win

if you can get

one person to See;

be Free,

Be True to yourself

for the is

nothing else...

 

When the Lord

calls your Name,

will you lift your Head?...

Nov. 30, 2015

 

Manifest (The Book of LIfe)...

Be Angry,

but let it be

Righteous Anger,

Sin not in your Fury

for you are not

Judge and Jury,

there may be

other sides

tot the story;

even Solomon

in all his Wisdom

and his Glory

would listen well,

would think

before he acted;

look to all the Facts,

find the Truth

in what you see,

 be Assured

in what you Believe

for the Lord will tell you

what you kneed to Know

before you do

what you need to do...

The World Awakens...

The City of Light

ablaze in an Evil glow

Satan's laughing

with delight;

Mick was spot on

all the those years ago

but here we are

and there it remains;

The Painful Truth...

 

Of what use

to rant and rail;

this Veil of Tears is short

be not caught

Unprepared

or worse,

Unconcerned...

Not an Eye for an Eye

but Righteous Anger,

the first letter in Death

turns to Danger...

Beware, Isis,

bemoan your Fate,

you have no Divided us,

you have United us,
now too late

realize your Mistake...

Nov. 21, 2015

 

Job's Children...

In the blink of an Eye

you're left Reeling

Kneeling,

Pounding the ground

Crying,
"Why,

how is is I am so beset,

what Indignity

have I not yet endured?"...

 

Lord, knows

I have had more

than my fair share

of Misery and Agony,

of One Step Forward

and Two Back,

Always hating myself

for the attributes I lack,

the Baddest of the Bad,

the Saddest Sack,

Innocent of the Crime

that have placed
me once again

on Torquemada's Rack

but

not willing to plead guilty

to return to

the same World...

 

Sept. &, 2015

All Aboard...

Cleansing Rain,

changing Seasons

Rise and Fall

Life and Death

spend not your Time

searching for Reason

for Man

has become UnNatural

the Freight Train's

cars open wide

and The Herd tumbles out.\,

bumbling towards

the Cattle Call;

Sightless Seers,

Flightless Birds,

wings clipped at Birth

with little

(if any)

Self-Worth,

Taught to Despise

Free Thought,

Hoping the Lies they bought

were not at

too High a Price...
