Primal

Meet me forever
where loves intertwine
My ever full cup
Keeps me drunk on your wine

Clouds roll exposing
Pale light of your moon
Now I’m shapeshifting
My senses in tune

I smell and I taste
Your breath on the air
Quiet and confident
Lacking in fear

Query now sight locked
I’m in for the kill
So long until next time
My cup needs a fill

I Am Tom

I am Tom, Tom I am
please listen to my poetry slam
I'll only plead, I will not damn
Just rap to the beat of my vegan jam

I must confess this time of year
I gobble out a fervent cheer
so that my kind won't disappear
each wishbone then, a souvenir

Please do not eat a turkey feast
recall it was a living beast
who once had eyes and feathered feet
that scratched the earth for food to eat

Trusting

Yes, things don’t always go as planned,
Things happen I don’t understand,
But God’s promises I will claim -
I will trust in his precious name
And I will leave it in God’s hand.

Baked a golden brown
like a summer tan
It came out of the oven
sizzling juices ran

Full of stuffing, it's a hero
Onions, bread and more
I was mashing the potatoes
[A necessary chore]

My wife cooking for a hundred
[At least it seems that way]
Making sauces and a gravy
On this Thanksgiving Day

Saying thanks for all our blessings
Sitting at the table
We've been saving appetites
I eat as much as I am able

Amtrak-Step Back

Blue and red and silver caboose
Engineer, please, don't lose
If you climb aboard today
Race towards your finish
As no one cares
Engineer-be my guide
Partner here, please stay alive
Through the mount
And over the woods
Past anaconda
With moccasins
Uniformed, clean and coiffured
There sits a little in fails and furs
Unconcerned with callous pride
Men play cards
Sleep and dine
Wine and women never mix
Tired conductors
Mimic the wick
Voices garbled and stopped

Flight Of Fancy

FLIGHT OF FANCY

Soapbox Heroes

Governance of others with any degree
Of freedom or autonomy
Requires an awareness and compassion
Whose possession inhibits the holder
From the desire to rule
And so we make our masters of
Charlatans and their sycophants

November

It's you that I adore the most
and wait for the whole year.

It's you that I adore as
you've never failed
to lift my spirits up
and send away my fear.

It's you that I adore
as you stand for yourself
when everything else
has to break, fade or fall.

It's you that I adore
like never before.

It's you that I adore
as you keep your heart
beating with
an inner warmth;

to stand for yourself,
for me, and
for all.

November

Red Is Dead

There is Red laying on the floor

He has bled he is bleeding more

He was hit in the head from behind

You can see parts of his exposed mind

It was a dark night full of pouring rain

Red knew one way to get rid of his pain

He took a metal hammer and hit it in

It went down deep, deep under his skin

Now Red is pouring out on the floor

Red bled until he was Red no more

The scars Red now wears upon his hide

Are not as deep as the scars he wore inside

CANDLES GLORY

Leave Not
till the candle light continues

keep composing poems
till goes off the candle

even in darkness
I compose

FREE VERSE

so far all loved
my verse

gave me points
to hold contests

am I not a
poeyet?
I ask you all
