Katie's Prayer
Shades of heaven breaching night
Rage of joys on high
A lady fair comes worthy
Kneeling proudly at Gods thigh
Of Memmott Ham and Gurney
Katie's strong and tested way
We wish her homeward journey
Grateful kneeling as we pray
As visions swimming vapors
Spiral slowly into man
Beside her stands a David
And another called I Am
Welcome gentle woman
May this mansion bring you peace
Alladins magic carpet
Where your blessings never cease
On wings of singing whispers
Heavens prince I Am blew town
Davids hands encased embraced her
Saying Kate you ought sit down
Kate my love a place is set
In truth its all so clear
Nothing ever makes you fat
And the drinks bring only cheer
Know relatives and histories
Roots we ran to trace
From origins to legends
All the givers of our grace
Round us gifted music
No one heeds to hateful wars
Hear all the heavens singing
To the mystic dance of stars
Ever we will travel light
In thought were just then there
Honey we can race the sun
And visit everywhere
Lay down my lovely Katie
On your mighty mansion grass
the greatest challenge calling
you and me til all must pass
This prayer is what I wish her
If indeed it's must she go
Katie's never really leaving
Just awaiting her next show

Fathers Free Fertilizer
Feed, do not force.
They will always break bread.
Find, dont forget.
They will heed to your head.
Face and dont fail them,
They'll stay far from hell,
Free, never fedder.
They'll opt to lead well.
Father, dont friend.
They'll build better dreams.
Few are but these
Of an old Father's schemes.

Whiskey Rose
Lively watered days before
Beaten down upon the floor
Expecting not to feel the pain
Angels dew had offed her brain
Lo the sting of drunkards tile
Oft to strike her ducking smile
Makes you think she'd opt to quit
Nope!, she wears a catchers mitt
Now with glass and glove in place
Tiles call, she'll catch her face
So pitch another down the bar
Games not overcome so far
See she stays within the bases
Dodging traps within the chases
Lifes a light touch on the toes
Playing catch
with
Whiskey Rose.

The Scotsman
Pushing giants from the bridges
Pulling angels from the air
Rent the harpy
Savaged wolves
Tamed the ursa bear
Fed my soul upon the wind
Worked the sallow field
Came to trumpets running
Casting hands with solid steel
Rough to certain diamonds
Diamond to the rough
Crossed the raging rivers
Drawing courage at the trough
Bless me back my brothers
Come and march in time
Youth be gone and coming
Swiftly garnered to the line
Coin to king and prophet
Bred to serve and finally rot
Proud to bear the standard
Holding true to heart a Scot

My Dragon
I have a dragon
Lest it is fed
My dragon sleeps
If fed my dragon rages
My dragon burns the fields
I know this dragons danger
Dragons may be overcome
My dragon is destruction
My dragon is a beauty
My dragon sleeps
Lest it is fed
I have a dragon

Leah Rose
Seventeen facets to my heart
Thousands to my soul
Loving catch I would Impart
This feelings fishing hole
Cast for passing barrier
Fast those fires rolled
Pooled in care filled carrier
Tamed the highest road
Wonders met and justified
Screaming to the sun
Awe filled shocked and terrified
Exaltation on the run
Purposed straight and ridgid
Clueless to all care
Worlds of hot to frigid
Propped by maiden fair
Endless pushing friction
Never feeling clutched
Not but I to free her
Inner space untouched
Legals best addiction
Desperations open door
Bow to phantom freedom
Godly gifted evermore
Praying aspiration
Never ruled o're to be rushed
Lonely inspiration
Racing sunset 'cross the dust

Winter Warning
Winter night strumming
Winter warning "colds comin'"
Winter night is here
Coldly it is said
Coldly kin the walk of dead
Coldly breaking seas
Fading seasons down
Fading whispers of a town
Fading calming rush
Silence seeks the night
Silence speaks beneath the light
Silence stills wonder
Home the wonders crawl
Home with every large and small
Home to hearth and cave
Chimes all set and staged
Chimes now singing songs engaged
Chimes iced to warning

I Should
I do not think of my mother every day
As I did with my infant mind.
I do not dwell on her reactions to my deeds
As when a tripping youth I'd run astray
Long has it been since wondering what sleep she'd lost
Of teenage nights when midnight seemed an early end
Or pondering the silent prayerful tears she shed
When with sufficient age waged a war upon the wicked world
I seem to bless her in many passing moments now
When the victories and miseries in every sort of news
Prove True the value of her parenthood
And profess the timeless greatness of her deeds
I am just a weave in the vital tapestry of her life
A grateful thread in her masterwork yet undone
A knot made to feel as worthy as any stitch
My proud display is claiming her my own
I do no think of my mother every day
I Should

22 Push Ups
Not sure we don't know why
Ask us not a question
We are nothing pass us by
Treat us like a shadow
Look right through us we are clear
Forget and never love us
Walk away we are not here
Tumbleweeds unnoticed
Hands not made to ready hold
Rolling no direction
Lone wolves walk the bitter cold
Forget me nots set blooming
Push ye up a war torn vet
As 22 consider
The final lifes regret

Princess
Hastened by a nervous clown
Sullied by the prince of fear
Little princess darling dear
Hit the bottom
Shot it up
Fairy princess
Drank the cup
Popcorn questions
Flooding eyes
Ghosts in answers
Spooks and lies
Running furies
Missing dates
Lifetime minutes
Tempting fates
Little princess darling dear
Sullied by the prince of fear
Hastened by a nervous clown
Little fairy princess down

The Weaver
Rise and take comfort
Put to rest this test of fear
Weaving hope to soul
Pain must be dismissed
There will be no cure this time
Weaving hope to soul
Live the greatest gift
Unto those who seek a fire
Weaving hope to soul
Hold to each good thread
Every one a dear embrace
Weaving hope and soul
Teaching earth and sky
To the value of a name
Weaving hope to soul
Love and calling sent
Finest choice to loose or hold
Weaving hope to soul

Pearls
Infinite Wonder
Glory and thanks unto thee
For I am just dust
In celebration
I awake to creation
Each second I stay
Milky way close
I seek afar of marvels
Closer every day
I stand on our rock
Just beneath the breathing sun
Welcomed to the light
Spirits whirl about
Legions threading every sky
Often I feel them
I take all from you
Blessed I am found worthy
Thankful for the way

Soup
You've grown with us for some two years
I've worked here but one more
52 and just 15
I met you at the door
Knew you'd be that special kid
With those dangerous cold eyes
Hair like Fierce Flamingos
And your saddness filled the skies
I was qualified as Father
Poet, manager and ref
But now had higher calling
Teen-soup treatment daylight chef
With you, like oh so many
the ingredients were there
Greater chefs worked all around us
I was blessed to stir the fare
Many soups have been deployed here
Alphabets both hot and cold
Bisques of all the youthful wilds
Bouillon sweet and touched by gold
For you no preconceptions
As I'm told that isn't fair
That day began a journey
For which no one could prepare
Hurt has cut you deeply here
Venting demons often will
Self assessment can be toxic
And the cure a bitter pill
You must know you've seeds of greatness
That have flown a bit off course
Not unique the inconvenience
To the children of divorce
Stand and walk the way to win
It's now you own the show
the world holds many poisons
Drawing moths into the glow
Fight only to be peaceful
Bless a world that needs your smile
Gift us with your music
Set the lights to shame with style
Never hold to liars
Life can be too short
Live within each moment
Sailing strong to every port
Sailing strong to every port
If today's the last you see me
As with time all things must cease
This proud old chef is smiling
To have served a masterpiece.

The Keep
Garden, Ruin, Castle, Keep
Each to hold what men shall reap
Lilies gather, stand, and bloom
Lay the prized possessions tomb
Deep in rubble of what's past
May a worthy trove be cast
Lofted turrets flagged on high
Wealth to worlds of all who fly
Last I think tis to the deep
Far below foundations weep
Garden, Ruin, Castle, Keep
Each to hold what men shall reap

A Measure of Life
What day
What moment
Would I trade for time
From past to now
An equal measure of life
Some moments
Too obvious precious
Off limits at best
When we met, kissed
Wept for joy, made love
What day
What moment
Would I trade for time
From past to now
An equal measure of life
Perhaps our first big fight
Perhaps the stress of work and school
The night the cat was hit and died
The day we missed the Cancun flight
What day
What moment
Would I trade for time
From past to now
An equal measure of life
Hiding home for those two weeks
we never missed Cancun
The driver who hit kitty
now a dearest friend
Working and school made us
better smarter organized and strong
And in healing that first fight
we made a son
What day
What moment
Could
I trade for time
From past to now
All
Equal measures of life

Mohican Requiem
Man is prey my son
Free your mind and know no fear
Wolves are in the trees
Swift prepare your skills
Lest your dread breed not but hate
Lies infect the air
Look toward your home
What can with you walk or stay
Knowing all may go
Choose what lives you save
As the pitiful may come
Options must not fail
Build your body best
Saving more than just a soul
Living mans god wins
Don't neglect to love
Though another tests your will
Peace may have a toll
