On this very day

All in reach,
Circle of peace,
Shattered came our lot,
Makes knot for naught,
Allies hiding in these words,
Intoned pure in verse,
Only to shoe in mind bend,
Paradigm shift taste whim,
Earthquake on American soul,
Desperate intake of why it's so,
To figure why should this be,
Hope could we not see,
A temper distraught,
With those lost,
Today no more laughter,
Caused  tonight to shatter,
Forever is tomorrow,
Forever is our sorrow,
Going into rage,
On this very day,
That can't be explained......................

Clouds

Misty morning,
Dusty closet,
Small warning,
Leaky faucet,
Drip,
Drops,
One by one,
Cups run over,
Gold filled sun,
Darkness runs through my veins,
Maddens all to claims,
Of nightmares future past,
Light of ignorance past,
Black a billowy,
Smart and filling in,
Thin air surround,
A spirit wind,
Clouds escape,
That can not wait.........................
