"...The World Around Us"

Building Underwater

Brick and mortar unglued like a

House of cards,

This Lego play-set we live in;

Interlocking pieces of memories and experiences

Lost beneath the waves of man’s inhumanity toward man.

As I watch earthquakes in New Zealand, riots in Egypt,

Civil unrest where politics play God-head to personal freedoms

Quenching each voice to be heard,

Lord grant us the temperance to resist relationships we

build underwater, and re-ignite love,

to capsize

The crafts of destruction set before us.

And give us the dignity to kneel for forgiveness…

Before we fade away

on our feet.

"...obstacles"

Ladies and gentlemen! Come one, come all. Hark! I beckon thee gents and madams to please come and hear the new poem I wrote! It's fun for the children, fun for the family, fun for the pets and healthy for the environment. So, go grab some of ole' Granny's special buttered popcorn and some of Papa Pete's "hidden" elixir, and prepare to be dazzled by the artistry and craft of this blog-shaman's words, as they will soon envelope you and cast you off to world's unknown. So, have a seat and relax and let me tell you a tale; a tale of a man who had a day like no other, a day of continually putting his foot in his mouth time and time again. So, sit back and enjoy the Rembrandt of this blog scribe, exquisitely titled...

Exhaling Black Clouds

"To err is human, to forgive pause is divine."
Parables like that make me
wish I'd just Exhale, for a second,
to align my words in such a
way, that my mouth wouldn't soon
regret their Texture on the palates
I leave behind.

Damn black clouds...
fill my lungs, make me cough up
wholesome intentions,
leaving me speechless with an
Alabaster abrasion
in my eyes, such that I can't see
the sky ahead from the road behind.
