Disillusioned

Disillusioned

Humanity slips into recklessness
Ignoring that which calls to its senses
Senses long forgotten
Long ignored
Entrapped in figures
In mindless chatterings
Delivered to them
Via electronic signals
Tearing their attention away
From feeling
From thinking
From acting
On what they know is real
Rarely leaving their homes
Doors shut
Television blaring
Video games clattering
PCs bombard them
With images of lust
Like stealth bombers
Delivering their load
Everything turning them
From the one thing that's true
Love

The Tracks of Life - Poem

The Tracks of Life

Photo by Danni

Moving down the tracks of life
Bright flowers do appear
Bringing bright smiles to my face
Each time I feel you near

Dark and lonely were the tunnels
That I have passed through
But now I'm in the daylight
Since I have met you

What we'll find as we
Pass into the woods
Hopefully will all be good
If things go as they should

Though there may be hills to climb
And valleys deep and blue
I know that I'll make it
As long as I have you

Hmpf!

You come and say hello

Then you turn around and leave

I hope you don't expect me

To mope and to bereave

I've been around that corner

More than once before

When someone came to stay

Then walked right through the door

You see, it isn't new to me

So many play that game

You're all starting to bore me

I think you're all the same

You tell so many lies

In the name of love

Now I pray for asteroids

To crush Earth from above

“Strawberry” by Cal Jennings in #2 Pencil

My Darling

What love has such a tender heart

And hair as red as fire

With skin so pure and porcelain

Has kindled my desire?

Thou hast shown me trust and faith

Moreso than any other

Our talents matching markedly

How could I want another?

'Twas listening to Beatles' song

That dreams of you appeared

But when you looked into my eyes

It was to be revered

So let us make the music

For all the world to sing

Walking arm in arm through life

True love to Earth we'll bring

By “Strawberry” in felt pen and colored pencil

Love - Poem

Love

To love
To be loved
To make love
To create love
To feel love
To express love
To give and receive love
Nothing greater in the universe does exist
It is the meaning of life
It is the best thing that humanity can strive for
It is the essence of God
It IS God
Should all mankind focus on this
There would be no war
There would be no hate
Sorrow would be diminished
There would be less hunger
There would be more security
There would be no need for violence
There would be more compassion and understanding
When we turn from selfishness
And give of ourselves
Not only our lives
But everyone's lives
Become whole
We create
Heaven on earth

Heart and Soul

What is love

That stirs the passion

Deepest in the heart?

Is it that

Which gives a thrill?

A complex body part?

Nay, 'tis something deeper:

Familiarity

And friendship that's grown sweeter

And sweet sincerity

A bonding of the souls within

That raises cacoethes

Blending caring and desire

Creates willing coryanthes

Then a passionate embrace

Is filled with depth and meaning

Not just erudite desire

Which often is demeaning

May you look for truthful love

Not lust that undermines

And may you find it in your heart

This very Valentine's

Poem

The straight line folds distinctly

Dogs rhythm airplanes

Fields phone brightly

Pestilence gather sunshine

Berserk speakers telegraph

Guitars reminisce silence

Sunglasses clock freshener

Snowmen ship penguin

Cashews tray cigar
