Do you have a better idea?
It all comes to listen
and look at eyes that glisten
sincerity's heart
that touches a part
of me that counts
because I surmount
priorities wish
avoiding evil's squish
a smile so serene
thoughts so preen
I humbly realize
in my now modest guise
that they might be right
as I focus my sight

That's what we've always believed at any rate...
so often asked
who do you believe
well that's hard to answer
as opinions I weave
the media is contorted
as interests control
what is best said
under circumstances poll
my own ideas
from where do they start?
they seem to evolve
in an attempt at smart
but what makes me right
and others so wrong
a mystery to breath
each day of my life
but I can trust my friends
to encourage with rife

...but mankind won't be destroyed
high hopes
how high?
TBD
right now
questions
appalling
lessons not
learned
stalling
old habits
die hard
for some
especially
money interests
rhumb
stubborn
unchangeable
future ends
when fossils
fuel rage
bends
attitude
evolving
in time?
not sure
will poor and rich
find rhyme?

If you're looking for anyone other than me... forget it
alone in world
a twilight zone tale
in a land of letters
and books never stale
broken glasses lie
on pile in gaze
refracted and reflected
confused in haze
ideas churn
and thoughts invade
passion and fear
inspire new raid
of aggression and hope
no reason to die
start a new world
with cheerful reply
science and faith
adjoined in my heart
awakening my love
in the universal dart

Let's Talk About This
I seem to concur
of talking's lure
as if it's important
in it's wasted verbs
I wanted to chat
and resolve just that
but somehow it stalls
in activities blurb
when I get home
I think of dome
that covers head
and protects my id
but things keep going
in a natural flowing
so I guess I'll accept
small talk for quid

Why do the infected people only come out at night?...
many infections
in many directions
of mind and body
known and oddie
madness and disease
that sometimes seize
epidemic or plague
or craziness invades
out at night
in terrorizing blight
biting necks
and pale sex
so who I meet
when I'm out to greet
could be a ghoul
or friend in drool
the moon creates
interesting dates
so I'll go out
in a mask and flout

Cavitational Bridge
Shape and structure
nostrils and points
sinus and mucus
blowing the joint
Intelligence and firmness
upper lip of pride
respirational confidence
a Roman slide
The aquiline knows
a prominent bridge
suspended in status
middle eastern ridge
Oxygen intake
carbon dioxide release
and a direction perception
of canine perspiration
Mouth only for some
smell a priority
foraging for knowledge
in an air of authority
a nose for value
a shopper’s delight
supporting my glasses
as I read in my classes
not very attractive
sometimes called snout
I’m not really sure
What the laughter's about...

Unroofed Streams
the dream pavilion
strand board so smooth
oriented and untreated
flexing in the sun
it's veins on the run
infinite lines
timbered in waiting
for children to stream
in flocks of vision
tricking as they envision
a world that is better
transparent in their awkwardness
strong in question
metaphorically drawn
to utopia so sawn
the adults an audience
so studiously bystanding
at structure and imagination
and laughter innate
of the playing, so insulate
shifting geometries
and spatial forms
positioning the mind
in activity and creation
forming startling aspiration
habitating dreams
and accepting reality
an architectural balance
and human emotion
of faith and devotion

What to do when you are lying in bed...sleepless
The Book
lying
sleepless
trying different
pillow positions
thinking
about the next few hours
and what they will
entail... decision
will it be more
of the same
frustration
and plotted but non-existent dreams?
or is it
all the things to do
when you decide
to give up and rise to an unknown theme
I found out
that there are times
like today
when the plotted becomes a book
a mystery series
about a man named Dizzy
a jazz club owner
and private eye not took
fast talk and friction
lots of off-colour diction
a sort of Hammettian approach
that teases and lingers
so once my current prose
is done and on the shelf
these pages will start
to enfold from the edge of my fingers

Point of Focus
A director is always
aware of this
it's what the audience
looks at first
It isn't always
in the centre
but there's usually action
or a visual burst
and when in the morning
I look outside
what's the first thing I see
as the sun reflects
so many visions
spectacular view
birds and tress
and the horizons deflect
the point of focus
mmm... I must think
what is it I see
that captures my thoughts
then suddenly
I realize, so acutely aware
that it's what I don't see
to which my mind is caught
It's for what I'm searching
a message of hope
a smiling image
that cheers the day
a positive impulse
jarring my eyes
inspiring my purpose
before I join the fray...

A Newspaper Column...
maybe I should start
a newspaper column
discussing problems
that sometimes are solemn
other times tantalizing
sometimes surmising
a romance...
now that is quite a circumstance!
"I'm having a bubble bath"
she says quite calmly
so I think "Ummm..."
my mind like a sweaty palm
so I comment on her rubber ducky
trying to be plucky
and avoid issues
that might get mucky
"I don't get enough"
she tells me quite frankly
I have no solution
I speak in dilution
my mind channels
to various panels
thinking of options
to change subject of adoption
cooking special entrees
that use special spices
that make her more ruttish
the ingredients smuttish
I like that she writes
than she tells me it's erotic
and sends me a sample
that is quite a topic
"very nice," I remark
it's graphic and dark
"It expresses my needs"
she talks and exceeds
my expectations for bluntness
and literary proceeds
I suggest social avenues
and ways to meet friends
without implying certain things
where her story, not mine, begins
it's fun and adventurous
and eye-opening for sure
but I must ask
is it too much to endure?...

EXERCISE
the importance of exercise
ailing to exorcise
it's all about mind
and activity kind
relax and sweat
a winning bet
through happiness and fruit
in yourself as a conduit
refreshing and bold
your breath not sold
you build it with belief
that your body is sheaf
many tied miracles
that in movement are lyrical
so just let breeze
blow your hair through the trees
your lungs in transpire
sweet dreams to aspire
DeaBeePea 3-1-15
Down the Rabbit Hole...
Do I go with the flow
or burrow and grow
in adventurous plight
and incisored delight
Where do I arise
in aghast surprise
In the dark facing
my prey disgracing
or in the sun
a meadow of fun
shaking off my dirt
feeling quite pert
a meal to consider
so off I go for onions and libber...
DeaBeePea 3-12-15
Advertising
negative connotation
bad vibration
repetitive force
silly and course
assuming we are stupid
insulting and putrid
if I want you I'll call you
don't bother to stew
just do your job
and avoid the fob
be a community example
and make available your sample
announce your presence
make yourself omnipresent
be innovative
and kindly liberative
endorse the consumer
as intelligent with humor
yes you're commercial
but please, not superficial
DeaBeePea 3-1-15
Undiscovered Country
What is discovery?
we call it discovered
other places uncovered
so we journey with plan
certain goals to scan
capital potential
building surface of rock
water to drink
resources to link
but as we realize
our really true prize
we turn our heads
in shocked surprise
our home is actually
a stranger to us
as we create new priorities
for ecology's schuss
so when we venture
for a country unindentured
the future is bright
avoiding evil's delight

Holding Hands
the clock is struck
short dongs of two
letting me know
of night's eleven-thirties boo
I was concerned for tomorrow
a half-hour away
and what would become
of my issues at play
so I thought for a sec
and had a plan
that I could stop it for good
avoiding times span
if I held the hands
of the clock in still
there would be no next day
and I could suspend in thrill
of this magic moment
floating in space
will the world stop
in it's spinning disgrace?
no concern to me
my job is done
I am living in "forever"
and having perpetual fun
