There are angels in the heavens,
There are devils down in hell.
The truth of life, is love,
There's nothing else to tell.

    

 

Never-the-less here is some more poetry.

 

Some of it is very silly,
for this I must say sorry.
I left the words out in the street,
and they were run over by a lorry.

Dear poetry hold up your head,
for love of form is not yet dead.
The chaos lovers, oh so clever,
let them go and live together,
falling twisted and despoiled,
their DNA shall be uncoiled.
 
Poorer maybe, but more joyous,
I'll write for you my poems boyish.
Full of gentle rhyme and rhythm,
and the love that I've been given.
Thus form and function when unfurled,
show it’s our love that moves the world.

 
 
                  Remembering Joyce Kilmer

 

I'm told "that I will never see
a poem lovely as tree",
and that, my friend, is probably
quite true for this reality.
Still, as I cannot make a tree,
a poem is all you'll get from me.

But if a poem, in its beauty,
could scatter seeds, much like a tree,
that would, each one, grow up to be,
unique and individually,
a symbol for eternity
that there is light in poetry,

this would, I hope you might agree,
be worth the hours spent silently
with pen and paper on my knee
stretching the mind to consciously
express in words, for once, clearly,
the beauty of the world I see.
