Spider Bait

Your love of money breeds hatred and contempt
Your greed plants the seed of jealousy

Be about your ways
Play with your rope of plenty
Twist it turn it place it around your neck
Beautiful necklace of gold

Bold are your ways
Thinking of new stories to be told

All your lies for profit
Rope being taken by the foot, yard and mile

Once enough let out

Snap

The thread of your web has you trapped

Off with your head!

In a Perfect World

In a perfect world
My stepmother would not have stolen my father from my mother,
for the property of my Grandmother,

In a perfect world,
The judge in the guardianship hearings,
Would not be the old prosecutor who forced me to plead guilty,
To the crimes that others committed.

My guilty plea covered up their lies,
My lie demanded by the prosecutor and my lawyer.

In a perfect world,
My stepmother would not encourage my father to commit suicide,
To acquire the property of my Grandmother,

In a perfect world I would not have to cry,
Separated,
hated,
unloved

In a perfect world
Brains would not be washed so easily contorted
thoughts distorted
Names would not be defamed.

In a perfect world
The police and judicial system would be above reproach
They would seek out the lie
Holding all to account

In a perfect world
There would be no greed
no need to steal to take from the ederly
and the innocent

In a perfect world
I dream

In reality these hateful things have happened to me,

Proving that this is not a perfect world, not for me.

Feathers Fair

Short and long
preened
Warm and pretty

She has a radiant glow a call gathering up seed
Nutrients consumed
Food from grain

Predator and Prey
Swooping to the ground
feathers strewn all around
Nutrients consumed

The cycle of life
Just the scattered feathers remain of the turtle dove
The Hawk flies up to perch
Cleaning talons and then away
To live for another day

Take away from me

Take away from me

Take away from me my money my love
Take away from me my dog, our happy home
Take away from me my desire to hunt and race
Take away from me your honest grace

Take away from me my children
Take away from me my father and grandmother

Take away from me the truth that I care most about

Take away from me the church, communion, and fellowship

Take away from me that I might feel love once again

Take away from me

Nothing in return

She never knew

She never knew
She never knew the love we could share
She never knew the truth

His stare and One drawn near
Her glare, repelled advances
They never knew

Life's gentle touch and warm embrace
Tender kisses, Loves juices flowing deep inside
With desire as such both beauty and grace

Twisted limbs into the night
The taste of love and delight
Waking in the morning light

She never knew
The key to love
Unlocking the closed door

To let him in
She never knew
Her love

Frozen cold
Melted in the light of the sun
Drawn back into the dark of the Earth

She never knew
The taste of living waters
They never truly knew each other
