TWO SADIES (1988)
(An English assignment)


Young innocent lips kiss old roughened cheeks
As the two Sadies greet each other
One is old, with age weathering her bones
The other, young, the blush of innocence still clinging to her flesh
Each are immortal, the other side of the same coin
Both are the past … both are the future.




TIME (1989)
(A rose in a vase)


Yesterday is a wilted rose
Left to rot in an ornate vase
Today is a full blooming rose
Set in the midst to color and shine
Tomorrow is a delicate rosebud
Waiting for the rain to escort it to full bloom.




PURPLE AND GOLD (1987)
(NBA World Champions Los Angeles Lakers)


Here comes the purple and gold
Streaking down the courts like Zeus’ thunderbolts
Champions of the world
With purple signifying royalty
And gold their reward
They are the conquering heroes of the modern world
Displaying the grace and skill of the eternal gods.




EVIL IN ITS PUREST FORM (1987)
(No idea)

Somewhere in the depths
Lies in evil in its purest form
Evil so pure
That it rivals total bliss
Evil so pure
That it becomes someone's goal

Its sheer power engulfs
Its beauty corrupts
Its quiet innocence radiates
The devil himself could not have created
Such magnifence and splendor

Fear cowers in its presence
Shadows hide from its form
Good cries out in anger

It is evil in its purest form.
