A DAY WITHOUT LOVE

A day without love,
Is a day without sunshine
A day without you
Brings the rain


A day with love
Is a day to rejoice
A day with you
“Sweet refrain”

Come closer beloved
Sit by my side
No time to wait
No foolish pride

We were always
Meant for each other
You're mine for life
Friend, lover and wife

THE DOVE AND WEASEL

Solitary, cruel n' tough
A weasel “Bad to the bone”
Gentle, wise was the dove 
It was widely known

One day the dove came upon the beast
Touched down lightly on the ground
Weasel thought “I'll eat this tiny feast”
Hungrily he circled round n' round

Before he could pounce they locked eyes
Drool dripping off weasel's pointy chin
Something happened to his surprise
The dove started to sing softly and spin

'I bring peace n' goodwill to you” He cooed
Weasel froze in place n' stared in wonder
 “I've come to teach you humility n' gratitude”
“To devour me would be a great blunder”

“I'm a weasel n' must do what weasels do”
“You're just another meal to me” he said”
“If they were here I'd eat your parents too”
“You'll have no need to sing n' spin once dead”

Undeterred the fearless dove sang on
“How sweet it is to love you precious one”
“I seek not be your folly or Rubicon”
“Come sing n' spin with me my son”

Hearing this the weasel began to cry
Begged forgiveness for his sins
The dove moved close n' dried his eyes
Whispering softly he said;
“This is when your life begins”

Just then the Dove became a Living Jesus
The weasel became the first human being
The man fell down n' praised Him
“How dare I destroy such a precious thing”

The Lord smiled n' said “Now you know,
How peace n' love doth cause a soul to grow”

"I MUST BE A LESBIAN"

-->

Sexual perversion turns men into animals

A predation largely un-known in nature!

Physical, emotional, spiritual cannibals;

I must be a lesbian because although male,

I relate to women much more than men

~MARTYR~

-->

Bob Marley spoke against corruption

His soul was never given up for barter

Death was but a minor interruption,

Before “Son of Rasta” became a martyr

ALCHEMY OF KING MIDAS

-->

The king had cause to worry much

Though “World's richest man” be told

Alas there was nobody Midas dare touch

'Lest he turn them into solid gold

One day the King did shake a fist,

At God for punishing him this way

“I only wanted wealth” he hissed

Then on bended knees began to pray

“Lord I'm sorry for my selfishness

I'm sorry for unbridled greed

I pray you once again will bless

This wretched soul in dire need

God looked down after brief silence;

In gentle voice these words were spoken

“Thou hast sinned and tried mine patience

I'm pleased to see thy pride is broken”

“I lift My Gift thou hast be-spoiled,

Restored thy privilege to touch others,

Wash thine hands that once were soiled

Pledge this day to serve thy brothers”

King Midas with gratitude then cried out;

“Thy mercy Lord shall never be in doubt”

A DEMON KNOWN AS PAIN

Pounced upon him in an instant
Eagle talons pierced  his brain!
He'd never felt anything so intense,
As this cruel demon known as pain

(Gene did recover from brain aneurism)

VIRAL REVOLUTION

-->

Common folks in Greece took to the streets

In protest of forced austerity n' corruption

IMF awaited “Bailout loan” to complete

As banks followed oligarchy plan of;

“Problem, reaction, solution”

An age old ploy we must defeat

(Inspired by D I)

POET BE TRUE

-->

Its not my style to scrape n' pander

Best be true to what feels right to me

Far better to be accused of slander

Than “Go along” or just “Wait n' see”

BE-MUSED

She's a small voice residing in my soul

Who relentlessly wheedles, begs, cajoles

Forces me to write, when I want to play

To her I'm just a formless lump of clay
