GLADIATOR

A coliseum warrior,
his only verve,
Catapults grizzled moments,
continuing swerve.
Mighty, fearless,
Assembled and brave,
Oblivious and forthcoming,
Unafraid.
He arrives each crossroad,
Frayed, tattered and torn.
Then grasps reflections

GOOD-BYE?

They jump from star to star
Earnestly searching every crowded universe,
For that indescribable, unattainable glow.
How will I know?
How, will, I know?
Will it blind me?
Will my heart burst?
Will it kill me?
No matter what, the search...

Buildings of Love?

Old saggy roofs flash through my mind,
Buildings of love; pierce pass me in time.
I can't see faces, not even traces,
Just memories a stranger erases.
Where drift of life once passed and laid,
Behind every closed and open shade.
How many...

The Chicken & The Armadiller

Days cycle the many nights,
The Sun comes up, always bright.
"Greetings boys, how do yawl do?"
"Yesterday, when I was young,
Was as happy as a half dead chicken
In a fifty-five gallon worm bucket drum.
Now, I feel as bad as a dead armadiller

UNSPOKEN WORDS FOR MOM By danE, Amanda and Katy 11/16/2011 12:23 AM

The wind moves over our bodies announcing her presence,
Then the magnitude from the dark night
Releases her unsullied pristine essence,
The sound of crickets chirping a love song lures a mate,
Over and over again, to another day awake.
Waiting...

Wrong Turn!

conversations mostly
innocent; nothing to fear.
pursuing obsequious flattery,
extolling each other,
they called me dannel eugenn,
sometimes dannel boon
said my dipples were cute
said i always smile
cheered me at bats
cheered me...

Survivor with Losses

Who missed and missed again;
Gazing down at the Milky Way?
Visualizing every lifelong magnificent spark;
With eyes, to eyes, in eyes.
Never warmth, to enhance life.
Never a home for sleep.
Escaped the wrath of beauty.
Results created vapors...

He's Still in Vietnam

It's 1990 and he's still looking back
Upon a monsoon rain, from a one room shack.
No where to run, no where to hide,
My Brother still in Viet Nam.
When the sun goes down and he is feeling low,
Wondering who Captain's gonna send on patrol,
Twenty...

Knowledge of the Curious Kind

Moments ago we escaped,
To another time or place?
You hold lost memories I traced.
Damaged by an ancient voice!
Agony! Maybe loss of love?
I forgot the past that was forgotten,
Explanations didn't seem begotten.
Bitter purpose to free a mind....

The Road To No Return

Walking the road to no return,
Release the fear that may be spurn.
Destruction of invisible doves,
Hope the end is love and love.
Stop the clocks in all the world
So treasures I gathered may swirl swirl swirl.
Mountains, skies, oceans I see

Bad Choices

I have seen you many times
You hide from me, just waiting to snare me
To consume me, in regret and pity.
I admit you have beaten down many times,
You have enjoyed your victories
You know I hate you and despise you,
You are an unworthy adversary but...

My beauties

I never seem to come or go,
The thought of You
Will guzzle me whole.
You wink, You smile,
Your beauty is mine
Warmth for a while,
You will be back
Just give me time.
I need not a smile.
Need I walk another mile?
Was it because I was so blind?
Or can...

The-BattleShip-Texas

The Battleship Texas is part of our history.
Launched from a Virginia berth,in 1914.
Been around the world a thousand times,
She-has-sailed the seven seas.
The Battleship Texas, stands for Liberty.
She fought in many battles,in-WWI&WWII.

Ateasement

Beyond the barriers we strive
lies nonresistant distant eyes,
to end or to the end
As cosmic dust falls and fly's.
Silent greed, utter arrogance
leap over and over and then
lost and bound by the blend,
one more each day or hour
can make a fool grin...

My choice

In your creation
Came much love and care
Year after Year, You would change
Another you would appear
Some good, some bad
Tradeless memories
Of those precious days
In my loneliness
I can feel the absent of your existence
Over and Over Year after Year...

Locked Up

Woe tis me, what to write
So many thoughts I have this night.
Special memories of you this day
And happy smiles from May to May.
Cold weather I see shall come again,
But my love will never end.
What should I say to the night.
Maybe, soon it twill be...

The Day After

Pure thoughts once traveled
Through our created minds.
But all were lost in undocumented time.
From this moment on, begins my climb,
To forget the behemoth, Remind.
Who cares about that first
Beguiled, defamed, despised attack,
For we must always...

Boiled Froglegs

There was a time when it felt just right
We relaxed, we were at peace
Contented, consumed, play was our plight
Most everyone slept let others fight.
We smiled, we cried, we fought to spite
The creature never slept he owned the night.
No one knew...

Another

As I continue to detach,
Eons of tranquility
And not ask for a rematch.
As a world disappears
We struggle our hearts.
When it reappears
From time to time
There is not fear.
Gallantly dissolving foolishness,
Many past years.
Sweet drunkenness

Catching Firelfies

Catching fireflies in the middle of the night
A shooting star goes by, is that a satellite?
Catching fireflies in the middle of the night
May, April, December and June,
Given to me to protect and to groom
A leader a champ I was number one,

Pure Beauty

A masterpiece imprinted with
The stroke of an eye.
Pure beauty found in the
City of knives
I rode between the lines
Unable to see,
Only pure beauty caressing me.
Woe, distance became the enemy.
Cry with joy even in defeat
Racing flow, oh how sweet....

Friendship wind

The day is long, cold, and still
A familiar wind gave me chill
I've known this breeze from the past
What do I do, how long will it last?
It's power comes from modern chimes
From trucks, and poles a line in time
I wonder what the wind will find
For...

For Them All

A heart crumbles to the deepest abyss,
Your name mentioned from other lips,
An old book room holds the glow of hair,
Sharing bubble gum, treats, balloons in air.
Bringing intrigue for lovers who share
Years later, how do we bare
Tormentment and...

None In Return

Precious eyes of infinity,
Manipulates the weakest of hearts,
Constantly emitting crushing blows,
Hoping to recover from depths below.
The aftermath of affection,
Forever propel lethal cindery sparks,
Always finding tindery entrances to a...

Searching the Depths

As I awake each glorious morn,
Thank the Great Creator you were born.
A thousand times visions of love appear
Your victim ends up smiling, ear to ear.
Tender lips, fresher than morning dew
Feels your warmth your love, all beauty thru.
Torture...
