Pretty lips on a pretty boy
But those pretty lips will
Never bring me any joy

Because his lips belong
To his pretty boy-toy
And it rankles me ‘cause

He used to be mine

(This poem is not autobiographical.  It is about someone I used to know.)

Pax
only a few can see
appreciation of its beauty
unseen to most
to where it hides
its truth without a cost.
And how much is art really worth?
The volcano blurted out it's existence,
as if in defiance of the air's superior mobility,
while the waters boiled in recognition.
Orthogenesis overtures!

Stratagem
A stratagem is a trick or plan for deceiving an enemy or for achieving a goal
Ordinary          People
Do

Amazing.                            Things

Give ­                                              It  To

God.                                               See

What.                      Love

Brings
The hate
You Give
Is the hate
You shall
Receive

Seven

For
Give
This is what I call Word Art
it’s supposed to be an
Exclamation Point
Father Time and Mother Nature
Conspired one drunken night
Off the rip
To meet again
Decades later
Upon my gimpy hip.
