KNOWN UNTO GOD

No one spoke of immortality
And few gave it even a thought.
The world was awash with blood
But the brave stood up first and fought.

None can dispute brutal records

Of wasted men and innocence lost
In failures fanned by major mistakes,
While battles raged and orders crossed.

Myths and stories can never lie,

But truth remains too hard
For postmodern thugs to grasp,
While censorial goons stand guard.

So today no one can agree the meaning -

And hypocrites haggle and arch -
When those who respect our past
Wear justified pride to the march.

FUTURE MEMORIES


Tonal whispers
From lips like syrup,
Creamed with laughter,
Trickling like honey.

Skin smoky and smooth -
A maiden’s musky shield -
Strained before
The stretch of time;
And folded into clefts
And curves
That invite caresses
And insist upon kisses.

Eyes like shards
Of the blackest diamonds
Shining beyond shining -
Shimmers and facets
Of your essence inside -
A bewildering puzzle.

But above all:
Your smile,
Which broke me down
And brokered our love;
And made such mischief
With my haughty heart
That I was never
The same again.
