Why marvel at materialism
It only lasts a while,
Why marvel at the apparent,
Apparent comes and goes
Out of style.
Why be awed by what's seen
It's only something temporal,
Why be wooed by physical strings
What's unseen has more credentials.
Why eyeball the papers only in writing,
Why not see the things more clearly with an
Insight sometimes frightening. Why only acknowledge
The things that you perceive, perception is a myth
When the door knocks reality.

Words can be silenced
Only for a lifetime
But my words will live on,
And my ghost won't be gone
Until night til the dawn,
My poetry will spill
Like ripened wine.
I'm everlasting
To everlasting.
My body may be passing
But my eternity is forever,
Like a perennial rosebud
My locution hangs with the
Good that's to come,
And hushed I shall not be.

In vicksburg national burial place of the dead
A silence cradles the land
Voices of the cemetery
Loudly utter, words
Stroking butter
The sound is not
Bland.
The union sleep
Still awake in their beds
The rain never falls
The rain is just as dead
The civil war hasn't ended
Cry the tears of seventeen thousand ghosts
These souls are remembered
By the vows that they took
Sleeplessly haunting
The visitors to their arrival
The dead more than living
Are awake to the grassy place so vital
The war still goes on
Though to us it has ended
These men are still seen in their
Clothing unattended
Their plans ended shortly
Their plans unamended
This place awakes the voices
Of the wars recommended

Zipped through the laser in her sleep
I tip toed, she didint know, like a girl
Fast she was so sweet. no peep, no not
Scurry. At dark Eve I couldn't see the
Milk and cookies I was for;in a hurry.
I didint worry, just made my getaway
When it was her cookies, I chowed in
The night, stashed by day, bad husband.

She doesn't need no makeup
She is the makeup of men's
Finest brand and desires
Like Jim said baby
Come on baby light
My fire! Come and set
Tommy on fire.

I found the calm in the
Storm, when My wife
Held me. I felt the
Warmth of the
Morn.

She made a livin by lovin an giving.
She made her hourly wages
On stacks of lost pages
She had written from her
Many different faces.
One for night one for day!
One to sleep
And for morning stay.

The trees give me shelter
When the rain comes on down! The trees give me comfort when noone is around.
The trees have a silence, holding in the earthing secrets. Tree's are not violent, they keep still, quiet, perfect.
The trees make love to the clouds, as baby raindrops they create, but the trees are dying like you and me, their feeling the worst of the universes fate.

Sitting in the cornfield
Staring, watching life pass me by
The South's glory has a million stories
As civil blood paint's the sky's.

The quill is a pulse
It thrives on
It's own heartbeat
Bump bump
Bump bump!
