You, I, and the R.O.W

When you and I fight,
It's a gloomy day
And a scary night;
When we respect each other's persona
When we-for each other-care, and adore,
It's like the "seventh heaven" is at the door.
When we-you and I- do not smile,
Don't you see the whole world out of style?
See, look around with your glasses on,
And tell me, in the tumultous game of life,
Who would ultimalely have won?

Accident and Design

Some say the world is an accident,
Many say it is a grandiose design;
For all that I know and don't,
And as personal opinion of mine,
A little challengeable knowledge
Is better than an irrefutable ignorance;
For simplicity over mysticism
I side with those who favor chance.

In Memoriam (2)

In loving memory

Of a person so apparently gone

Dedicates one a wooden bench 

In an uptown seaside lawn

Wishing them so comfortably to dwell-

Neither in heaven nor hell-

But in the minds of the grateful 'live

Who, like the others before,

Are only now at the shore

Of the sea into which they soon dive.
