Inside the Matters of Its Namesake
It could never contain these things inside, they amass so high –mountains of them Whispers from the many who have ventured in, now silent echoes heard till its rhythm stops Weakness pays a visit now and then to interrupt the day to day pulse, adding things to make it drip-drop… I can see pain whenever I want, just peer through...

Premium Member The Namesake
The home nestled in the hue of the blue hills, on the wall of my longing there hung a mirror, opened my one way window on the wispy sky, like a bird I spanned with the wings of youth. In the winds of the waning time I flew away far, at the luring end of the memory lane lighted, the nest...

Little Miss Sure Shot Gains A Namesake Rhinestones and rawhide Prancing horses and the dream Of the Old Wild West; Dazzling the Old World crowd: 6 shots through a card tossed in the air, Ash shot off the Kaiser's cigarette - These things made the old, defeated Chief smile; "Little Miss Sure Shot" wowed the rubes and the Crowned Heads Alike. Thus the spangled life...

Apt as the feel of wise surprise, Live lovely times where joy knows grace; Etch a grand will in precious prize, eXpound fond chimes with sanguine face; Ask to be bold and brave and meek, Now and here see the quest of light; Dream then unfolds with truth you seek, Etch what may be your profound flight; Reap what you sow in flush...

Pain is not plain Nor vain is pain, So look again, Wear well each pain. Vain words can stain Yet pain is pain, Deep but not plain, Live well each strain. Yet once again Live not in vain, Rise with each pain, Love truth said plain. Vain lives not plain In spite of gain, For ego pains Fall just like rain. See beyond pain To truth most plain, That shows again, Joy not in...

(Dedication: For Dave Wood) Do follow feel, do simple write; Align your flow, align your say; Voice lines that heal, voice verse that cite; Echo fond glow, echo fond stay. Watch feelings surge, watch intent spur; Opt for plain smile, opt for clear poise; Options emerge, options recur; Deed springs fine style, deed hurls fond voice. Passion greets choice, passion meets peer; Offer to cast,...

Dusting Off the Namesake
The game Squashed his frame Socks tainted Carved out plain But the road map was tame Animals replete With zoo keeper seed From marsupial greed A black out rabbit hole Concealed the frrozen deals Pincers chopping dollar backs Red with collar grabs Soapy suds and beer The watery love endeared To carry a child burden For the sake of namesake Dust off the the boot heel kickers And fly kites with cotton...
