wasting love's treasures
ain't about condom-wearing;
no intimacy
just going through the motions
gives no lasting emotions

Lasting emotions
are now a thing of the past.
For just like oceans,
where fishing nets may be cast,
your catch might make you aghast.

When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy

before long they will become
new fishers of men
Peter, James and John, his bro
would take lead of disciples

Would disciples lead
any new converts astray
when they intercede?
The path they follow each day
is teaching them how to pray.

teaching them to pray
ties their chords with the Father
Holy Spirit too
He will advocate for them
every moment of their lives

Moments of each life
are all stored in peoples’ brains.
Happiness and strife
are memories it contains
when only the soul remains.

There’s none who bother
explaining where soul races.
Is it the Father
who decides where soul’s place is?
I’ll stay in His good graces!

When full, avoid pranks
for digestion causes gas.
You think it’s just blanks
that you might silently pass
but you’ll wind up with a mass.

Been without a wife
for a bit less than a year.
My mind is still rife
with memories I hold dear.
Oh how I wish she was here.



Sorry about this one Daniel! Still waiting for "it" to get better.

Can’t be as before
with pain in her eyes each day.
She limped through death’s door
into Heaven where she may
dance with the angels and play.

and before long, both of us
will be joining her with joy!

I’ll join her with joy
if religions got it right.
Science I employ
but I’ll keep faith in God’s might.
Reincarnation seems trite!

Over Andover
lies a darkened cloud of guilt.
Salem and Dover
is where witches blood was spilt,
but few towns had a shrine built.

now covered with witches' blood
old broom left behind
along with huge pot of food
that busy old hands had brewed

Busy hands had brewed
a large pot of étouffée
so it would be rude
and it’s not the southern way
to refuse. Have some today!
