Was it him?
No,
his brothers
tied grenades.
on dead black birds
heaved them high.
to fly, wings tied back,
up to a third story balcony....

Urges to kill rises like oceans,
And burns within like hellfire.
Consuming then parting as fast as it came,
And leaving nothing but a void to fill....

From aquifer be low
Break surface
Babbling babbling upwell
Plumos in addy.

Flow cool and true
Always your level
Quietly condially unremitting...

a wealth of rubies
cardinals among berries
red hibiscus bloom

crimson sun sinking
leaving vivid trails of fire
on scarlet roses

dragonflies emerge
going everywhere, silent
on soft carmine wings...

witnessing onset of dread
if we but choose to wait
doing nothing, just looking
we see the uprising abate

without our soul’s power 
thoughts cannot exist
so know we are to blame
if heart contractions persist...

Body exposed and bare, sharp pins causing much sweat
then cared for and tended, the bath is warm and wet
comfort acting so surprising
toiling then giving an uprising
a world where negative and positive sing a duet...

Violence under anarchy
Anarchy under my screams
Screams under a mental breakdown
Breakdown under chronic daydreams
Dreams under an uprising
Uprising under retribution
Retribution under pain
Pain under God
God under Me....

Christ bearing Dove, wind-blown, sail
On, beyond the Flood's deep, to
Land. In nativity's bay,
Under the low sun rising,
Maria sinks, childbearing.
Between the Virgin and land,
Uprising from whale's belly,
She bears Jonah to the day....

On dawn skies, peaches
drifting by sable shadows
at coastal sand dunes
Precious gold between my toes
Blue roses on the wild sea

Fading stars, sequins
Turquoise at the horizon
Citrine golden hour
of the fresh breath of the wind
and the gemmed birds uprising...

reflect awhile on our daily routine
cognition of objects seen and unseen 
stuporous habits that bind and confine
as in our comfort zone we so recline

as we look around at life in motion 
the uprising of thought and emotion
do we dwell always in a happy space 
tranquil, blissful, with no puzzles to lace...

For freedom he wasn't equipped 
The mighty Mubarak has slipped
While Egypt did look
On Twitter and Facebook
His pyramid up side down flipped

Egypt's army with cash is flushed
And the uprising this weight has crushed 
A revolt can't seethe
When the masses can't breathe
So the cry for freedom's now hushed...

(fiction.contest poem)
Love is blind
And undenying
Nervousness uprising 
Trying to make this romance satisfying
Candle light dinner  in display
Flowers and champagne or wine
Which you prefer
Music play our favorite song 
Our eyes met and now I'm in sweat.
For it's Valentine and we only do this once a year....

SKY ABOVE SEA

        Sky
         Truly
          Up above.
          Vast Infinite
           Wide.
                                     
           Sea
           Tides high
           Uprising
           Violent turns
            Waves.

Analytical Green
Is Putrid 
Spent to fast 
Gained too slow
Maybe it's Olive
Or seafoam green
No matter the color 
It is our uprising
Into a vast dominion
Of analytical green
Pea green
Just like vomit
The things that make 
Us puke
The things we gain
To lose 
Emerald like the 
Eyes on the back
Of a dollar bill...

Innocent people forced
Into an inhumane Ghetto
While being Jewish

Admiration for the fighters
In the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising

-------------------------------------------------

Unschuldige Menschen 
Gezwungen in ein unmenschliches Ghetto
Nur weil sie Juden waren

Hochachtung für die Kämpfer
Im Warschauer Ghettoaufstand...

Sky color shades hue
red yellow orange blue
insects click birds sing
trees leaves cling
green summer pleasure
gold harvest treasure
weeping-willow hill
far removed autumn chill
morning mist rising
soul uprising
coffee brewing dark
porch waking dog bark
cornfield full fine haul
yard there cut wall
rest invites shade tree
here farm life free...
