Too long a story, you'll have to read along. I was born in Glendale CA. in 1956, I have tried publishing my poems before under the pseudonym of Gideon Faust, but had no success. I now live in Santa Clarita and now would like to collaborate with musicians. I hope to contribute more in the future. May my words inspire intrigue, but not reveal all.

Serenity in Flux

SERENITY IN FLUX

Entwined with Subtle Shades of Green & Blue –

They Pulsate with Silent Rhythm /
They Undulate with...

You Quench my Thirst, I Run your Machines /
Let’s get together & Make some Steam.

My Flames Reach High, your Waters...

The Sad Passing

The Sad Passing



Some People just cannot be Saved
They think all your Words are Lies /
The Harder you try to Rescue Them
The More you Hasten their Demise.

You can’t stop someone from Crying
Who wants to Drown in their own Sorrow /
You...

STARMAN
(by d.k.debell)



Androgynous, Erogenous, Prodigious at Everything;
The Man Who Fell To Earth, was a Seductive Goblin King –
The Plethora of Personalities & Music Swimming in his Brain;
Was Proof the Thin White Duke was more than...

Nil Desperandum. Do not succumb to pain or desperation. It's good that you write it down. The only way to know you've overcome these adversities is when you go back and re-read this poem and realize that you have survived it.

I love this. The sentiment, the honesty, the reality; it's all so sad but true.
Very nicely worded. I like the rhyming pattern too. I've used it myself a few times.

Thanks. The words and mental images sort of happened spontaneously and in syncronicity. I'm grateful you appreciate the lyrical effort. :)

So true, so true. The Eternal/Internal question. Is it me, or the man in the mirror? Nicely rhymed.

As a Father and Grandfather, I totally get this wish.

I'm also very keen on Rainbows.

I enjoyed this poem and its easy, comfortable flow. I, too, have been inspired by birds and other of nature's wonderful lessons and reminders. We could all learn from the birds & beasts how to better cope with life's indignities.
Sometimes things aren't as tragic as we make them out to be.
