"Raven"

jeans. you were in a pair of blue jeans.
wet around about the bottom. the rain fell.
lasted all day long.

born on July 2, 1983. we celebrate
all of your birthdays. twenty you are.
can you be normal for just a few?

sexy and smart. silence falls through the ceiling
of despair. combined that with your quiet confidence,
you have brought to me, a sense of togetherness
with the world we want to be a part of.
how do I love you.

a bird flies over. more waves
crash the shore,
I can not forget myself for making such a rude remark of
"you look so damn sexy in that white t-shirt."

how great is the water, your touch is so soft.
kissing your neck, blissfully and beautifully expressing
your love for me. how does
the days ever end in a stormy light!

soon, you sing for me- full band.
you and the boys sing and rock
for my musical pleasure. oh how can I repay you
for your gifts?

the dinners with your parents proved that you
and me are of one. how nice is that. and we can kiss
each other right in front of them. only does it seem
to be rude despite not having any reservations
about such a thing.

so, when you danced a little in the rain
(despite you saying that you are a horrible dancer),
it was pure pleasure. and smiles
and laughter erupt in our bond,
never divides or interrupts our love for each other.

and I finish this poem with nothing but a becoming silence
of our love. that we are of one person. our relationship
is a person. Raven. you are so successful in your life.
music. freedom. Michelle,
you are my face. our hearts share, and we are married
to our Raven.

'TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE


It was the night before I saw you, and all through my heart,
Many feelings were stirring, the realities were quite stark.
I tried to relax while taking great care,
Realizing that soon you would be there.

I was nestled all snug in my bed,
With visions of you dancing in my head.
I had on my jammies, and a book on my lap,
And was about to settle for a long nights nap.

When all of the sudden I heard such a clatter,
I sprang straight up to see what was the matter.
Away to the bathroom I flew in a flash,
Turned on the cold tap and my face I did splash.

It was a full moon and a night full of snow,
Shadows came at me that I didn't know.
I was wondering what was happening here,
But I dreaded the answers should they appear.

There was one small shadow, lively and quick,
I thought for a moment this must be a trick.
More rapid it moved, and more of them came,
While it shouted and whistled and called them by name.

Now Fear! now Mistrust! now Uncertainty and Confusion!
Let us get together and cloud his vision!
To his head we must go! Let us not stall!
We must get to him! We must make him fall!

Away from them I wildly tried to fly,
They placed every obstacle before me, theses shadows were quite sly
I continued to flee, oh if I only knew,
What are these shadows and what are they up too?

Then in a blink I fell for a loop,
More shadows gathered, while others went poof.
I threw up my hand and tried to turn around,
When one large shadow stepped up with a bound.

It had no shape from its head to its foot,
It stood there and stirred, all dark as soot.
It made one move, it took one step back.
Then it started to speak with a voice that did crack.

Its eyes were like fire, glowing red as cherries.
Still stirring at me, menacing, not merry.
What looked like a mouth, exposed fangs in the glow,
What was going to happen, I just did not know.

It bent over and bared its teeth,
And oh how its breath did reek.
It was faceless and round and even quite smelly,
And by now I'm shaking like jelly.

It was cold and clammy and not very jolly,
I wiggled and squirmed, but escape was pure folly.
I turned and twisted being full of dread,
I thought for a moment it would bite off my head.

It began to speak; its words pierced my heart,
I listened intently; its words gave me a start.
It spoke eloquently and with great prose,
Then it nodded and yanked me up to my toes.

With one mighty leap it ran down the hall,
Leaving me these words while taking a great fall;
"It's your own insecurities that's giving you this fright,
Wake up you fool, you're having a bad night!"

A New Year

A new year has arrived and so have new students for me. Classes full of new sprouts, young girls burgeoning, young men erupting with hair and pimples. Attitudes of sweet innocence while others loathe everyone and everything. Yes, one actually put that in a paper. Sad, isn't it?
I can plant the seeds, water them, tend the tender shoots, and protect them from most harm; but, can I ever reap the produce of principles that I have worked so hard to grow?
I penned this petite poem today. I hope that the future will yield a fruition of patriots, or at least, one or two.

Pliant but not compliant
Teenagers seem to be
Wearing a mask of recalcitrance
Only learning reluctantly.

NOT ONE DAMN DIME

Pleas help support the following Boycott and paste this on your website/blog..

~NOT ONE DAMN DIME~

Inauguration Day Silent Protest

Thursday, January 20th, 2005

Blogosphere Zoo

Since our religious leaders will not speak out against the war in Iraq, since our political leaders don't have the moral courage to oppose it, Inauguration Day, Thursday, January 20th, 2005 is 'Not One Damn Dime Day' in America.

On 'Not One Damn Dime Day,' those who oppose what is happening in our name in Iraq can speak up with a 24-hour national boycott of all forms of consumer spending.

During 'Not One Damn Dime Day' please don't spend money. Not one damn dime for gasoline. Not one damn dime for necessities or for impulse purchases. Not one damn dime for anything for 24 hours.

On 'Not One Damn Dime Day,' please boycott Walmart, KMart and Target. Please don't go to the mall or the local convenience store. Please don't buy any fast food (or any groceries at all for that matter).

Please pass this on..
