i set my sight
i set my sight upon a sparkling solitary star
shimmering silvery in a somber sky of night
fathoming it was far away much too far
still of all the stars shining most sublimely bright
brilliant beauty beyond my able reach to touch
sorrow and sadness are mine much way too much

a poet i am not
a poet i am not
nor could i ever be
i have not a poet's observant eye
with which to look and also see
i have not a poet's attentive ear
with which to listen and also hear
i have not a poet's predilection
nor talent to find the words to express
the overwhelming sadness of beauty
nor the beauty of tender sadness
nor the persistent longing inside
that leaves one so lonely and unsatisfied
where can one so base find words
to describe the unceasing sorrow
of love not requited and wasted youth
passing so swiftly into tomorrow
i have not the gift nor ability
to transform mere words into poetry

the mad materialist
the mad materialist
can never rise above
that with which he is made of
he is defined and confined
by the mere matter
that makes up his mind
he can never be sure
that his treasured thoughts
are nothing or nothing more
than the chemical results
of a by chance accident
that can never be self evident

sin again snake
sin again snake
the scold gutless bleeders of the fall lowers
over spent by the overly stealthy
unseemly go host beblind the seen
so shall i sing of the unsighted fakes
no lip or see intrust us for law
liars in the art ruins mocking a laughing
by blood letting fillers go fray
to still the low residing see it agains
by patting these back on the straights
to lute fame the hardly waking
by realizing of facts a benders
to rip more of them in a know sense
fairy tale us weep resolved frame the asp
a sure revival of the witless
as the inhumane sinks sow he is
slower than crawl the minimals
the snake

angel for Dolores O'Riordan
the face of an angel
the grace of an angel
the voice of an angel
the place of an angel

songbird for Dolores O'Riordan
the so beautiful little songbird
has flown away heavenward
her very beautiful euphonic voice
God willing again be heard
with all the angels to rejoice
in the foreverhereafterward

dmeo
dmeo
too dark
too dismal
too dolour
today
nothing more
to do
or
to say
no words
to express
the sorrow
and sadness
her slipping
so suddenly
and silently
away
disbelief
and grief
heavyheartedness
and emptiness
mercy and love
may God above
