We've each been hurt by another,
not every yet most've pushed pin
I pardon me now for my harpoon
and forgive you your barbing sin!
We've each been hurt by another,

Buddha miracle
in the making
Souls rejoicing
Minds awaking
Grateful charity
for the asking
Heartstrings tugging
Bosoms basking
Time compressing
to point breaking
Love rehabbing
Loss forsaking
If might above the sword is sought,
Then I will lift the pen.
But slay, dear uncle, poems do not,
Nor shall mine seek to win.
As for your second message late,
A quibble I'll raise high:
Though you and I will share one fate
And join the dust to die,
These words of ours might still live on.
Not will, I say—but might.
Maybe that's why we soldier on
to bring our words to light.
Our twin brains seem to ruminate
Same thoughts as seeds that germinate!
My hot sarcasm bubbles like a macaroni bake,
oozing bitterness forth like an angry lava lake
I flip a coin of choice so to choose a softer side
and happy I am with all betterments I've tried
All good fathers
whom art 'pon Earth
cherished be thy name
Thy children hath come
thy will's being be done
here and now honored 'pon Earth
Give us this day our daily nutrition
and forgive us our poor decision making
as we pardon those who have made poor decisions concerning us
But lead us not into anger
and deliver us from misunderstanding
for thine 'tis the family figure
of kindhearted compassion and strength
for ever and ever
Grace
Oh, to find forgiveness
deep inside our hearts
for nothing too savage
just cruelty atop barks
'Tis an end of ugliness
with our family at war
I turn to my humilities
as all good graces soar
I'm going to remember this one,
even if I do die 'pon the morrow
Reconnect with my twin poetic,
hath healed a two-sided sorrow
Sunbeams coruscate like lilting shiny spotlights
whirling top to bottom beneath the cyan sea
Sunrays scoot along the gullied seabed
like lost and streaking ghosts skirring to be free
The ocean swimmer sees both light and darkness
from shimmering surface down to taupe seafloor
Above that murky sphere of luminescent shadows
my soul ascends with solace above the sandy shore
