  • Why then, rose, so sharp thy thorns?

    A defensive pose assumed ? When all that’s on my mind is to Gently pluck thy blooms? Why is red your hue of choice When yellow’d do as well? Do you, when coy bees visit you, To them, your secrets, tell? And when is a rose surely a rose And not a dandelion? My nose…

  • With the World on Fire…

    And my dreams on hold Can’t help but wish  I had you to hold. You are the longing I feel in my arms You are the loving That keeps me from harm If ever our lives  Would bring you to me, Let Fate interrupt us Then leave us to be.

  • Hell’s Hounds

    We summoned demons in the dark of night. We danced around the fire with delight. We brought the blessed scapegoat. It’s a fawn. We sacrificed to Eden, demons spawn. The hounds of Hell are hot on evil’s trail They tested God already and he failed.

  • Movies are Proof it’s Not What You Say it’s How You Say It

    What a curious universe we are you and I   What a curious place it may be. Astounding coincidences — evidence nigh. A feature with eyes that can see. Still limited so are our senses albeit We can’t even seem to agree. We perceive little that truly exists There’s so much around we can’t see! Reality…

  • Bonds

    We know each other well And we have always said We’d tell the truth to one another Cross hearts and hope for death But I have a secret, dear— One so crucial and so true— You’ve grown so dear to me, I fear That I’m in love with you.

  • There’s Not an Apparent Title

    We should love Like lovers due— Sail the moon Then paint the hue Of the sky Upon the moon. Setting sun— We’ll be there soon.

  • Rules Based Order

    We came over to Utopia            But could not recognize it. A blissful land ‘o plenty Then thought we’d supersize it. ‘Manifest Destiny,’ We called it with no shame. We called the natives savages And then, their land, we claimed. We didn’t know we didn’t know And then assumed the right To push aside our fellow…

  • Wayward Souls…

    Whom can’t be charmed Growing old Another’s arms— Though the Fates Would see us parted, We must not be  Brokenhearted We’ll meet up Where Heaven ends Where gravity makes Light beams bend You and I  Will meet somewhere Take the stars I’ll see you there

  • Falling in Love

    Falling in love is So easy to do You don’t even realize You’re doing it too. One minute sober Then high as a kite — Will you come over To my place tonight? We’ll dance in the street And we’ll play until dawn. With both of us there Not a thing can go wrong! Please…

  • Ghouls

  • Girls are FROGS!

    Girls are frogs AND Men are hogs IF Cats are dogs WHEN Life’s a slog AND You should know IT’S Time to go WHEN Wind doth blow AT Ten below THE Time is now TO Show you how TO Dis-a-VOW The rich some-HOW

  • Gaia

    Gaia speaks in the whisper of the breeze. Tune in to the rhythm of the spirit of the Earth. Benjamin Stone

  • Voices on the Phone

    Come one come all Come near. Come far. Lend an ear You’ll want to hear What I have to say You will rue the day When you left your home This world, to roam. An evil spreads It rears its head Oh, it’s dark and night Steals the Sun so bright. If you let it…

  • Grievance Slain

    Flitting butterflies are bringing Simple kinds of rain Cries ignored are barely heard O’er cries of grievance slain. People wander in the dark Cause if they had a clue They’d urinate themselves in fear And not know what to do. They’d leap like Lemmings off a cliff Into the ocean blue.

  • Serpentine

    She was 17 and serpentine and so serene I was 10 ft tall but kinda small though not at all She cried in alarm I meant no harm on this here farm She said she had eggs and then she begged right on my legs “Please don’t eat them all, oh 10 ft tall, not…
