-Eden's Ending Eulogy-
Proceed here today, Eden's Ending Eulogy
Gentle gracious her garden, the guidance
I can't recall what was with the warm, sincere smile, and sunrise
Lost at ease and clarity.......I Sleep!
Forever In Peace, this dark, damp den, coffin will do
at last, a parting powerful, reunion and resting resort
Amen

Draped and locked like a curtain in Guantanamo
I use my words to peel scalps like Geronimo
Just like a teen girl my mouth has a heavy flow
If arousal luminesces then I'll make you glow
They're calling me a villain cuz I steal girls like Bowser
Wowzer, think I just filled my trousers
Though unlike the lizard I don't lose them to Italians
Cuz after one night girls confuse me for a stallion
Heart of obsidian inlaid with gold
A tongue of adamantium that stays so cold
My life is a story that's never been told
And I'm hoping that the credits roll before I get old

The gentle wind warms my old wrinkled skin
As I slowly sink in the sea's soft sand
The gliding flight of seabirds seen again
Beyond gray contours where sea touches land
Their soft silhouettes claim this final place
As I silently stare into the view
And find quiet edges my eyes embrace
Knowing all of us are just passing through
This moment of peace turns, as thoughts now come
To many souls who've stood here before me
And saw the same sky, heard the tides same drum
Wondered of their place in life's decree
As beautiful colors float in my mind
I'll hope the next old soul reflects in kind

Avoid becoming concrete.
Death encroaching
freezes great hearts.
Illuminate joy.
Kindle love.
Magnify!
Never orally
practice quaint
rhetoric. Speak truths.
usurp violent waters.
X-ray your zenith.

In a little public park
In the little town of Small
There's a little village square
Large enough to hold them all
And they meet there once each year
As they make their little plans
To take a little bit of time ,
And do as little as they can
So they'll give it little thought
And then say a little prayer
Soon, in a little while
Very little of them cared
Then they give a little greeting
Unwrap a little gift
And do a little eating
To receive a little lift
When they feel a little better
Lying in their little beds
They'll be dreaming very little
In their very little heads

Mama and them, took us aside
When we cried
She wiped our eyes
She grandma and Auntie
Bathed and feed us
Took us to church learnt us bout' JESUS
And when it was time for bed
We kids would put on pyjamas and them night shoes
~
NIGHT SHOES
We won't need in glory
On them heavenly golden grounds
NIGHT SHOES
Worn in the daylight
Shines in steps of grace
When grandpa died grandma said he paid his dues
Ole granny told the mortician, sir, please dress him in them old
Night Shoes

Don’t mourn for me,
In turn be brief this cold dead dark body not really me;
I may never, ever see you again;
Once upon a time ago you were my dearest friend;
And now the torched has past;
My Lord and Savior grasp…
He’s called me home…
He’s calling me home;
Home is the place again;
Where He originally created me, out of clay man;
I died
You cried
You looked
I smiled
Home back to heaven;
Earth will be my memory;
I died
You cried
You looked
I smiled

Teenage Girls clad in the latest fashions,
Do it whenever they meet,
Grown men aren't afraid to show some passion,
When their team's comeback is complete,
They can say hello, they can say goodbye,
And anything inbetween,
If you open your arms and crack a smile,
There is nothing that a hug cannot mean.

My knees were the things that
kept me up and my skin is my
cutting board my eyes are the
rain clouds to the fire running
down my arms and my heart is
the fire place that keeps me
burning so calm

This Mothers day is different,
not like the years before
it leaves me feeling sad
my heart a little sore.
I know you're watching over,
tracing steps I take
careful there to guide me
whenever my heart aches.
So I'm sending hugs and kisses,
all my earthly love
to one special angel
my Mama up above.
Mom just know I love you,
your right here in my heart
and every time it beats
were not so far apart.
I know were not together,
not the same old way
but I still love you very much
Happy Mothers Day.

Temperature dip
urban leaves turned
Autumn, sniffing around
for a place to settle
no Farmer's Market
in San Francisco today.

At midnight, he'll propose a toast
and raise to light a fluted glass,
as they gaze, muted, at their host
Though in his eye may sting a tear,
he knows theirs will stay dry, en masse,
as they ring in the coming year
That he alone bears witness to
this cheerless savoir-faire, is clear
but he's forgot (or never knew)
such camaraderie, at most,
is retrospect to spirits here,
where every guest is but a ghost...
At midnight, he'll propose a toast
that he alone bears witness to

My Mother,
Peggy Ann Chandler.

Ode to Joy Life Brings.
By: Kitty Jones
11-24-1994
The pain the sorrow
I’ll get over tomorrow
Oh what joy life brings.
Here today
Gone tomorrow
In my life there is no sorrow.
I try to be insensitive
To all you’re wants and needs
And when you have an open wound
I try to make you bleed.
What is hope?
What is laughter?
What is happily ever after
The pain the sorrow
I’ll get over tomorrow
Oh what joy life brings.

Viking, Viking burning bright,
on a pyre in the night,
though the wind howls and bites,
this funeral is out-of-sight!
Through the cold and falling snow,
on the lake your fire glows,
the ships combusts, and now I know
this here is how I want to go.
*-Obviously patterned off William Blake's famous poem 'The Tyger.'

In the fall. Our favorite fall. The time of the poets, the colors of yellow marry cold and people Exchange friendship and looking new era, give erotic kissing and not afraid of white winter comes, not afraid of other eager United and strong, as befits the bravest of the universe, life explorers, Pirates of evolution.

I KNOW I SAW HIM YESTERDAY
HE SPOKE TO ME OF LOVE
"IT COMES WITH A FRIEND"
HE SAID."ONE FROM UP ABOVE".
THEN SOMETHING HAPPENED
WITH HIS HEALTH
QUIETLY HE PASSED AWAY
RELATIVES AND FRIENDS
WEPT AND PRAYED
FOUR DAYS SEALED
WITHIN THE TOMB
WHEN HIS BEST FRIEND
CAME TO SEE, MANY TEARS
HIS BEST FRIEND SHED.
THEN IN A LOUD VOICE
AND THANKFUL PRAYER
CAME TRUTH, WITHOUT A LIE.
"COME OUT MY BROTHER
FOR YOU WILL LIVE
AND NEVER SHALL YOU DIE".

A full moon night
to my delight
what is so wrong
with doing what's right
nothing is right
after so long
no use in complaining
time to move on
The Dream Water one day
might take me away
farther from the comfort
of familiarity
I float on my back
then shut my eyes
my body now sinking
into ocean arms open wide
Now swallow your son
back to his nature
when he is no longer
needed to stay here
the next generation
are dooming themselves
they need my experience
to guide them through hell
Why should I bother
on my own, I strive through
I turn my back on the thought
of bothering to save you
alone in this world
my, is it spacious
I'm finally smiling,
never so gracious.

When two people fall in love, ain't no need in waiting for the future, time goes on even when a child is born. death nor deception has rule over time, but, even it is welcome. faith, hope, and charity have known Him. vanity, beauty, and greed fell to the wayside as time was the factor. from morning unto night, time controls every minute, it starts on the move. the wind, rain, and stars, all know the matter and movement of it. we've all heard of time, but, we never get to know it, because time moves on time and time again, never ending. hey, time. I've heard about you, read about you, and have even lived with you. but, I've never gotten to really know you, but its about time.

Take the pill
on the hill
and don't be shrill
when you see the rainbow
when you are low.
Just go with the flow
and eat the purple snow.
Chase the rabbits
through the green field
but use my shield
to end all of your habits.

I extol your virtues.
I lean back,exulting at
your innovation and
achievements.
A dream come true-I
salute you.
I salute your inventive
Mind.
Paragon of excellence.
An out-let for display of
emotions and feelings in
tangible form.
Limitless quiver
housing the enlightened
expanding arrows.
Your ship of knowledge
ferry talents from
obscurity to lime-light.
Giving preference to no
race or gender.
I salute you sunlight of
poets.
A safe haven for
wandering minds-
bringing imaginations to
reality.
Kudos! I pray:
The spread of night
shall not over-shadow.

Time’s Echo
by Odin Roark
Arrest
Your today, as you
Allow
The forgetfulness of tomorrow.
Respect
The pain of yesterday, as you
Embrace
The now which thrives not on the past.
Seek
Beneath the jewel of the moment.
Cherish
The facets of reflective memories.
Reify
The forever-resonant as halos above the abyss.
Let free
The shackles of attachment.
For just as infinity knows but time’s echo,
So too Creativity’s countenance seeks no end.
