A Poetic Commentary: Twinkle, Twinkle

March 24, 2017 in Book Art Sculpture

Twinkle, Twinkle

little star

how I wonder who you are?

Path to the Heart

keep it guarded if I were smart

but so many questions have I of this
cosmic art

Religion

am I dreaming an illusion?

getting mixed up in all the confusion?

LOOK NOW TOWARD HEAVEN

if you’re there, please, give me a sign

that I’ll truly be yours and you, mine

God Spoke

oh, how outrageously divine

to dare hope to be created by design

Morning Noon and Night

the stars, the moon, the sun

flow in their circuit, following Someone?

SPIRITUAL NOTES to MYSELF

take care, take care, my dear self soul

for what you believe becomes, taking its toll

Pilgrim’s Way

please, up beyond the stars so bright

could you really care for me tonight?

A Poetic Commentary: Trick or Treat?

March 22, 2017 in Book Art Sculpture

Trick Or Treat?

gotta compete, so cheat

do it in a heartbeat, so bittersweet

thinwithin

and without? oh, so I wish

stomach, better bypass that dish

PERMANENT WEIGHT CONTROL

such a dreamy illusion

but all these diets? just adding to my
confusion

THE ENORMOUS SHADOW

of the monster inside

perhaps starving will make it hide?

THE LOVELY BONES

so beautiful just beneath my skin

but I’ve got so far to go, to be perfect and thin

Take Big Bites

what’s the point in resisting?

ya, what’s really my point for existing?

DYING FOR CHANGE

dying for sure

but do I care for a cure?

BODY-FAT BREAKTHROUGH

they say my mind’s askew

just because I binge then refuse fondue?

LOSING IT

ya, they’re losing control

how’s it feel? losing the right to your own soul?

DIET AND DISEASE

problem, problem, I’m the problem says their expertise

why don't you just leave me alone . . . please

A Poetic Commentary: Rock, Paper, . . .

March 20, 2017 in Book Art Sculpture

Rock, Paper, ...

snickers

ugh, why do I always get the jitters?

BURNS

thought going along would keep things
cool

but caving to the pressure makes me feel
the fool

THE HARROGATE SECRETS

shhh, don’t tell

we’re all supposed to be happy and swell

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT

so much for equal say

at this party I guess I have to do it their way

Definitions

sticky matters you see

don’t define it and ya won’t be guilty

PUSHOVER

you’d be one too

if that’s the path to love and acceptance in this zoo

A Public Betrayed

in these private affairs

our stand for the right, taken unawares

the No Spin ZONE

but they spin every line

then draw you in, make you one of their kind

LAST RAMPAGE

do I know myself anymore?

or have I blended into my “mentors”?

A Poetic Commentary: Sticks & Stones

March 17, 2017 in Book Art Sculpture

Sticks & Stones

ya, they’ll break your bones

but what’s worse are the labels from the
clones

Rivals

they sneer at me from across the room

their cutting words spell my doom

SCHOOL IS NOT A MISSILE RANGE

I could wish this were actually true

but no one else seems to feel the damage
of this coup

Seasons That Laugh Or Weep

ya, they laugh, I weep - the cycle never ends

but my tears are now as few as my friends

Secrets

they’ll never know

but now who cares if they did, commando

MINDING OUR OWN BUSINESS

wish they’d live what they say

but this stuff is far from mere child’s play

BEST FRIENDS FOR NEVER

never’s a long long time

I guess alone I’ll make this long long climb

I Can’t Believe I Said That!

ya, but you know it’s true

you believe their lies - and not just a few

The Treasure of Friendship

oh, the irony, such a mockery

blast this state of cruel tyranny

The Meaning of Treason

I’ll show you what it looks like

my own overthrow of this third reich

ARMAGEDDON

no, it won’t be pretty

but they’re the ones with no pity

P.S. (from my future self)

After all the pain and all the blame

I have learned at least one small thing

Sticks and stones will break my bones

and yes, names do also hurt me

But the power to forgive,

gives me the ability to live

And set the prisoner free

A Poetic Commentary: He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not

March 15, 2017 in Book Art Sculpture

He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not . . .

one petal falls to the floor, another follows

why is this anticipation so hard to swallow?

The Girl

am I the one or is there another?

these fires of my heart, must I learn to
smother?

SOUL MATES

oh, if only now it be true

oh, the joy that could be between me
and you

LOVE and MARRIAGE

but perhaps you don’t see these the same

the way I long for, it’s driving me insane

LOVE 101

don’t try to tell me what I should or shouldn’t do

just because you say you’ve been there before doesn’t mean I don’t know a thing or two

Seasons of the Heart

yeah, like the time mine fell apart

but it’s spring now, time for a fresh start

ROSES ARE RED

and I am blue

oh, how sweet would it be to be with you

ALL THE FLOWERS ARE DYING

why must my heart feel like crying?

all this signing, spying, prying, vying

THE HEART DOCTOR’S HEART BOOK

reading a fairy fiction to my soul

dreaming of my starry knight, oh, why am I loosing control?

BEWARE YOUNG LOVERS

yeah, you could say that again

can love ever be a win-win?

A Poetic Commentary: Mirror, Mirror

March 13, 2017 in Book Art Sculpture

Mirror, Mirror

on the wall,

who is the fairest one of all?

101 MASKS

is all I see,

please tell, which one is me?

Super Beauty

of coarse! she is so fair

but why, do tell, is she so rare?

THE HOLLOW MAN

oh, you mean the one inside

the one deep within me, trying to hide?

Beauty from the Sea

from the sea, the sea,

the deep sea I can’t see inside of me?

secrets of health & beauty

secrets, ah yes, my secrets you want to know

you say release my secrets and my beauty will show?

Life Mask

fairest, fairest, the fairest one of all

life is not the fairest, but unmasks the beauty behind the walls
