All Good Revisited

02 June 2006


Sometimes to wonder
which way the world was shining
As to her, of directives in personal thought
her happiness permitted upon a being

Where incarceration was her motive
but what was hidden in dark
Some element of marriage
left over like a completed meal

Scraps of food and savoury sauce
bread crumbs upon a earthenware platter
There she was, placing the blame
her inside sanitised in alcohol, preserved

Would she ever give up
endearing an era in path
No one knew but her
what this was to be in truth


“Truth is beautiful, without doubt; but so are lies.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882)
USA essayist and poet

Stillness of Beat

08 November 2005


Sadness was a broken heart
as to the empty feeling of one
To give - yet not get - perhaps
in a less selfish way was more to come

This element of desire to share
while friendship rewards desire
But what of destination - true reality
and the breath of whispering fire

Pain being anger in ways expressed
total toward reflected thought to give
For what was adversity to those who pretend
away from the limelight of life to live

Sadness will never mean - happiness
was a feeling of warmth inside
To gift without need of helping out
but where was time in reply in venture died


“And every wise hearted among you shall come,
and make all that the LORD hath commanded;”
Exodus 35: 10 KJV
