april songs (Theme 3): Attitudes of Life 10
april song 30—all my life (punto finale)
were all my days renumbered as the grains
of sand that on the ocean fringes pine,
i wonder what would be my remnant gains,
ere vibrant youth yields to life’s swift decline.
would all my lyrics wither with the dawn,
to cadence like the sacrificial fawn?
were all my life the lyrics of one poem
—a ballad of engaging latitude—
whose metaphors compelled bright stars to know ’em,
would death accord a lither attitude
to destinies my journey must fulfil
before earth silence...

Collage 140 - Sorry, Not a Sex Poem
On the seventh day

Instead there is art
The day is still young however
Artists are known for excess
So
Stay tuned
You never know ….

As I Lay
I never thought I would die so soon
This world for me
Was nothing extravagant, nothing over the
moon
This was never my forever home, only
temporary.
You see, a sinner lies in this ground
I didn't deserve any kind of Heaven
Although my Jesus died for me on that
mound
At times His voice I could not hear, the
noise did deafen.
I hope and pray
My legacy lives on
I did the best that I could in my own way
I loved well, worked hard and with Jesus I
made a bond.
So as my body turns to ash ...

april songs (Theme 3): attitudes of life 7
april song 27—all my friends
the company i keep close to my breast
may hang about my neck—a human noose
that prematurely speeds my earthly rest,
unless, discretely, i should learn to choose
who occupies peripheral back seat
or dwells within my innermost retreat.
not all my friends may all my secrets share,
though many may pretend to wish me well.
too oft a circle morphs into a square,
exploding like a virtual bombshell.
may all my true friends glory in the thought
that i will love them, always, as i ought.

april songs (Theme 3): attitudes of life 1
april song 21—all my fears
some days i hide behind my pillow, scared
of phantoms that have mocked my life and jeered.
i tremble when cold night begins to creep
into the quiet recess of my sleep.
for shapes and sounds are not what they appear:
their minion songs and dances are severe.
but bogeyman shall die a sudden death,
for i shall strangulate his parting breath.
my father says his substance is surreal:
gross emptiness is easy to repeal.
tonight, i shall be waiting in my bed
to show him who’s alive and...

april songs (Theme 2): elements of life 10
april song 20—light (finale)
"For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath
shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of
God in the face of Jesus Christ."—2nd Corinthians 4:4
'tis the wonder of all wonders
that the spirit of man ponders:
is there life in utter darkness?
is there peace where dwells no kindness?
'tis a world rife with disaster,
when the dark becomes our master;
his blindfold is meant to strangle
knave and saint who with him...

april songs (Theme 2): elements of life 9
april song 19—darkness
heedless, speedless, sourceless darkness
—to some souls a dreadful starkness—
where’s your hiding place at daylight,
with earth’s doors and windows airtight?
are you truly liberated
from the things man has created,
bearing naught of shape or substance
in th’ arena of the sun dance?
are your features gaunt or cheerful
when our children huddle, fearful
of the biting, stifling clutches
of your finger-crawling touches?
are you stronger than the sunlight,
even when it...

And Finished - NaPoWriMo 30
Upon reaching journey's end,
no sense of exhaustion or over exertion,
instead
Mild surprise at the distance travelled
and creeping realisation that
the finish line has been reached
with no need
to keep the pace any longer,
with idle thoughts
of what to do next
at a more leisurely speed
but this time
without the need for marked progress.

Delusions of Grandeur
Lost between attention and recognition
We can’t see where we’re going because we’ve sold our vision
When cries become substitutes to sell scars for significance
Faking progress when we’re handicapped of our ignorance
Convenience consumers buying platforms in place of mountain tops
When status is our hindrance
Fad love is currency, what happens when the money stops
After we’ve lost touch with our fingerprints
Our purposes and gifts in the hands of our reckless confessions
Following the carrot for the fools gold of vain obsessions ...

So you've found yourself having it hard lately?
Rather than sitting alone
beside a bed lamp
turned down low
finding yourself
desperately trying
to figure it all out,
there is something
I could offer you
it may not be much
but unlike a bank
nobody can knock
old Ethan off
I can point to my head
knowing it's all there
without any APR or
debt occurrences
so — you've found yourself
having it hard lately
but you seem to have
forgotten something
incredibly important
though my friend

april songs: elements of life 7
april song 17—dust
in the paths of puffing billy
(though, at first, it sounds so silly),
citizens of every nation
tremble at wild-dust invasion.
his passport is universal
and his threats know no reversal;
birds and mammals take a dust bath
to routinely ease his gust wrath.
embryonic to the human
race, ‘tis dust makes up the true man,
and to dust he soon returneth,
when the breath in him adjourneth.

to reduce saharan nuisance,
