Memoire fatale.

Memoire fatale.

Memories of our time in the woods,
Knight me with a thousand knighthoods,
Memories which hallow an otherwise common place,
Where you resurrected the dying sun with the smile on your face,
When we watched the doe and the buck,
Grazing daintily with the grace of swimming duck,
Deer romance which made ours pale to nothing,
Oh that magical moment I will trade for nothing,
Memories of you in my arms,
Memories which turn against me with arms,
Which nourish a killing desire,
Light an all consuming fire,
Desire for one more time,
This time we'll celebrate with the finest wine.

Wild Beauty!

Wild beauty!

Oh my goodness,
She is beautiful,
Modestly clad in skins and beads,
Expression of a wild kind of beauty,
Without the encumbrance,
Of the make up hand of (wo)man,
Soaring and towering,
Unfurling and unfolding full expression,
Conjuring images of that oasis of beauty,
In the heart of the vast natural forests,
Flowering trees and greenery,
Wild orchids and flowers of every hue,
Wild bushes of roses,
Planted and nursed,
By nature's very hands,
Enabled by the Almighty God.

Father

Father.

Fatherhood does not end with the donation of sperm,
It is in fact the beginning of a father's term,
Head of the family,
Live the good father's homily,
If you've been an absentee father,
Know it hurts when you're farther,
Work and the past is not an excuse,
You can't be recluse,
If your father was terrible,
Strive to become adorable,
Children don't just want your money,
Even with that childhood can be horny,
The family needs your time,
A complete family clime,
A father's best gift to a child,
Is time spent grooming the child,
If you have been a bad father,
Choose to be a better father,
Be the role model,
Or the world will provide any model,
I thank every father,
Especially my own father,
Happy father's day.

The best criticism - the best revolt.

The best criticism - the best revolt.

The best revolt,
With a healthy dose of electric volt,
Requires better than a colt,
The best criticism,
Requires better than an eye trained to see the flawed ism,
It is concrete action,
Might require interaction,
Actions taken to change a broken status quo....

Present.

Present.

God's best present to humanity,
Is the present of His presence,
Through the vicissitudes of life,
That present is in the present,
Receive it,
It is now,
Material gifts can be gross,
Gold as good as dross,
All I need is you Lord...

The blessing

The blessing...

There is not a better blessing,
Like the blessing,
Of being a blessing,
There is a not a better place to be in,
Than in the position,
Where blessing is your name.

Blind mother.

Blind mother.

I salute the blind mother,
The mother who sees so profoundly she is blind,
The one who has seen enough to be blind,
To be blind to the tribal origins of a child,
To the circumstances of their birth,
To the color of their eyes,
To the color of their skin,
To the name of their country,
This mother's day,
I salute the woman who only sees a child,
And every child summons the mother in her.
