Are you a victim of?
Perpetual violence
Inflicted pain
Mental assault
Always your fault
Profanity reigns
Only to struggle in vain
But!
Nobody you knew
Came to the rescue
Shame upon shame
You blew the trumpet
But nobody came
I took a trip on a train
Stared through the open window
I gazed on grassy plains rolling hills open prairies
What a wonderful view
But I never knew
Visited a museum
To see if I could see ‘um
From across the land
Painted by hand
Golden sunrises red sunsets
What a wonderful view
But I never knew
I read words that came alive
Visioning scenes I’ve never seen
The printed words penned by creation
Touched my imagination
What a wonderful view
But I never knew
I watched on the screen
Many beautiful scenes
Colorful flowers tall leafy trees gentle rain drops
Things to adore behind my closed door
What a wonderful view
But I never knew
On a lark I took a walk in the park
Freedom no fences!
Exploring my senses
Discovered!
The coolness of the rain
The breeze on my face
The warmth of the sun
Felt the dew on the grass
Smelled the fragrance of the flowers
Tasted the water from the stream
Just a few
What a wonderful view
I never knew could be true

“One touch of nature makes the whole world kin”
William Shakespeare
Is not life out of order?
Time shows it so
What was then should be now
Should not the first be last?
Who defines fate anyhow?
Time fails me
Time won’t let me be
Time beats me down
Time can’t be turned around
If time is running out
Can life be far behind?
Will death give me a sign?
Or am I walking blind
Do I follow?
Should it be?
Should I swallow?
Never!
For this time the time’s on me!

“Time flies over us,but leaves its shadow behind.”
Nathaniel Hawthorne
Darkness descends
Night begins
Closed doors
Saintly sins
Moon abate
Glossy eyes
Man believes
Devil lies
Spirits roam
Somber thoughts
Spiritual war
Battle fought
Hours fade
Unclean hands
Sexual immorality
Nightly stand
Gratify desires
Evil holds
Body sacrifice
Debauchery enfolds
Tainted hearts
Not ashamed
Guiltless minds
Others blame
Selfish wants
Forever owed
Needs met
Never sowed
Envy rules
Sour grapes
Others covet
Morals rape
Lust abound
Hearts exploded
Senses unchecked
Times imploded
Darkness reigns
Devils light
Man’s indiscretions
Never right
*****************************
“He made darkness his covering,
his canopy around him,
thick clouds dark with water” Ps(18:11)
Lovers sigh
Hopeless despair
Lovers cry
Eyes tear
Romance dies
No one wins
Unwanted goodbyes
Heartache begins
Open hearts
Tender kisses
Love departs
Forever misses
Wishing star
Dreams fade
Above par
Memories made
Feelings check
Emotions hide
Pleasures wreck
Cursed pride
Vain love
Forever lost
Finding dove
Whatever cost
Destiny never
Eternity alone
Solitude forever
Loneliness sown
Empty seasons
Silent melody
Never reason
No remedy
Time heals
Only those
Time steals
Fate chose
Destiny waits
Time flies
Despondent fate
Time lies
Will I ever be the same?
A voice in mute
Puts time in dispute
I’ll dip my pen within my hand
To rest upon my stand
Time doesn’t heal
But its memories I’ll steal
To press for my appeal
If time allows
Not knowing how
Or what to do now
For what’s left for me
If only the verse
And not the melody
I tried to pretend
That our love would never end
No whispers No sounds
But the second time around
Never came around
No second chance
To renew a romance
Hope never satisfied
Disappointments abound
But the second time around
Never came around
I searched high
I searched low
Where ever I’d go
I thought our love would be found
But the second time around
Never came around
I knew
It was only you
That made my heart pound
But the second time around
Never came around
Did I not see?
Was it to be?
I though are love
Knew no bounds
But the second time around
Never came around♥
Being in love
Not knowing you’re in love
Never being in love before
Not knowing what’s in store
A heart in conflict
Love tugs
Love pulls
Love takes hold
Lets feelings unfold
Knowing I should stay
I chose to walk away
Spoken words never convey
What a song seems to say
Causing the heart to reminisce
First kiss
“So Much in Love”
The magic of a song
Has been for so long
A reminder for me
Of love gone wrong
In the summer of ’63♥

“Music is the best means we have of
digesting time”
W. H. Auden
On the road to Moriah I met a man
Whose words I didn’t understand
“Have you passed the test
Or do you follow the rest?”
“Do you travel with faith in hand?”
Returning from Moriah is when I knew
What the man was referring to
Left to my own devices
Had left my world in crises
But with faith as my strength I made it through
************************************
Faith manifests itself in obedience
“Understanding is the reward of faith.Therefore
seek not to understand that you may believe,but
believe that you may understand.’
Augustine (354-430)
