  • In Search Of Dinner (Haiku)

    January 8, 2015

    In search of dinner

    Flying amongst the street lights

    Mexican Free-tail Bats hunt

  • Sit Still And Quiet

    January 8, 2015

    Sit still and quiet

    Breathe in its luscious silence

    Feel it embrace you

    Tell me, what does it whisper

    Without so much as a word.

    Perhaps love is it,

    Love for yourself and others.

    What you always knew.

    Stifled by chaotic noise–

    It has finally been freed.

    Let it swaddle you!

    Do not keep it trapped inside.

    It is meant to give;

    Not with great expectations,

    But with the purest of hearts.

  • Consternation Kills

    January 8, 2015

    Consternation kills;

    Turning inward the faint heart,

    Swallowing them whole.

    Such is the fear mongers goal,

    To scare the masses to death.

    ≈

    Played time and again,

    Fear worse than reality,

    Still we never learn.

    There is great strength in numbers

    If we’d only stand as one.

  • I Gathered Stones And Pebbles

    January 7, 2015

    I gathered stones and pebbles

    For a fortress to build,

    Bulwark against the evils of this world.

    Having fought them for so long

    I am weary, fearing that I have no fight left in me.

    My swords I’ve dulled, sharpened and dulled again

    Beating back the cruelty and injustices of man

    Only to have them retake territory.

    This has been the history of our species;

    Seek, conquer and destroy our lasting legacy.

    So cocooned in my citadel I shall wait,

    Quietly, patiently, until the day of reckoning,

    Praying for this succession to end.

  • Terrorists (Acrostic)

    January 7, 2015

    They only win if you live in fear

    Envisioning terror around every turn

    Red, blood red keeps you awake at night

    Rendered by the media and the radical’s might

    Only you can stem this terrible tide

    Ridding the world of their plague that imbibes

    Impending doom is what they so desire

    Stifling of hope for a future that’s bright

    Tell them their end lies in the approaching hour

    Standing as one–their fates are most dire

  • Coward Strike Again

    January 7, 2015

    Cowards strike again
    Hiding behind masks like rats
    With rain of bullets
    Free speech has offended them
    The verdict…a death sentence
    Stand up, show your face
    Take responsibility
    This is your moment
    We know this isn’t to be
    For your cause is but thin air

  • Archer Stands Ready (Tanka)

    January 6, 2015

    Archer stands ready

    Arrow nocked, bow fully drawn

    He’s poised for the kill

    Huddled I stay out of sight

    For fear I’m Cupid’s target

  • So Lovely Are You

    January 6, 2015

    So lovely are you,
    A flower frozen in time,
    Beauty eternal.
    To my eyes forever young,
    Though to others we grow old.
    Age, is illusion,
    Wasted for generations
    On those bearing youth.
    A shame and curse to be sure
    For they are blinded by years.
    One day they will know
    What we begrudgingly learned,
    That love knows no bounds.
    It is beauty internal
    That time cannot take away.

  • Man’s Eyes Deceive Him (Tanka)

    January 6, 2015

    Man’s eyes deceive him
    When under a woman’s spell
    They say love is blind
    Who would I be to argue
    For I am truly bewitched
