There is a quiet that cannot be filled.
The songs of time are memories
Filling the air with make believe,
If only there was a continuation.

I asked the universe what is happening.
It replied to me in quiet tones
A purpose has been removed
A need must be found for think.

I understand you, I said to the universe
It is late, and I must hurry
Before winter quiets my mind
Just believe, it will happen it said

It was but 'A Midsummer's Night Dream',
Of my lover and I in warm embrace,
But before our lips could meet,
Or become acquainted,
The envious Sun parted us with its piercing rays,
I awoke from the dream suppressing a scream,
Pacing lifelessly,
All I had was the whisper of your name
Sung by the sympathetic wind to my ear,
I called your name Ife, Ife,
The heir,
To the throne of my heart.

Nixon was demonized for his taping
Others have been lauded for recording
Only correct reaction is stopping
Illegal action that is just a sting

More than trapping the intended target
It captures the planner in a poor light
Covert record invalid in docket
Leaving instigator in legal plight

For far too long we've had just hacks
and Obama likely was the worst
placing undue burdens on our backs.
Government morphed into a curse.

Now invaders infiltrate the south
and ANTIFA is running wild
spewing hatred from a masked mouth.
Leftists pitch fits like some spoiled child.

Too many leeches on the dole
living off working people's toil.
Socialism's emerged from its hole.
Freedom wilts in poisoned soil.

There in the forest of dreams, I lost my way,
Trees whose names I knew, just nodded and swayed.
They moved aside to let me free, but I couldn’t see,
Yet to wander here, was destructive just to be.

How did I become lost in this grand array?
Was it something said, or did I hear others say.
I must break free before the dawn creeps in,
Then to another try at life, Oh where to begin.

If Faustus would give all souls for Mephistopheles,
i would give all the World for her love,
I will even shatter the laws of physics,
if she be Linette I'll turn myself to dove,
like Jason i will venture for the golden Fleece,
like Kratos i will overthrow Jove,
like Sin bad i will sail the deadly seas,
all these and more will i do for her love,
if she's the devil then I'll gladly sell my soul,
i will fight epic battles greater than the trojan war,
i want her so badly not friendship i want more,

S t r e n g t h is tested in adversity and tasted in success

Peaceful World ((((new title)))

It is cold
very cold
freezing temperatures
a mild drizzle

yet unmindful she stands silently
like a statue under the isolated tree

all about her come and see
why such depth of silence
they wonder who is she
so very sweet and lovely
fine
a veritable Divine

her eyes don’t blink
statue stark into the daylight distant
rare vision
no one knows where she is looking

I lay face up, not a care in the world
My thoughts are soothing, polished and pearled
Isn’t nature amazing? Isn’t it sweet?
Can you hear the robins, the birds singing ‘tweet tweet?’

But as I lay, immersed in grass
A thought occurs, wicked as broken glass
I couldn’t shape it, describe it if I tried
Except that somewhere, somehow… someone lied?
