Double Portion

Our Hannah so is gracious
In skies vast and specious
To begin my sixteenth book
In style as one to walk another extra mile
It was easier to say hello
Than to deny this fresh and new file
As year by year
She will go up
By the pouring of yet another cup
Hannah is gracious
Having no children
She was yet to conceive
Where everything is desirable
To they whom but believe
I request an ecstatic experience here
But am quite content with well being
Given a double portion
In all that I am seeing...

To Hannah so was given a double portion
Although the Lord hath closed her womb
I am instructed to claim these verses as my own
And told to be as one to cast not the first stone
O, look upon this affliction
And remember me and tell me
That I'm not all alone
By the plying of my song of lights
And thunder riffs
And bars of melody cacophonous
Will be today my plunder
O, why do you weep and do not eat
And why is your heart grieved
And why are we to this day deceived
Taken to a place where everyone knows you name
To Hannah is given a double portion
As such is a game....












Double Portion (Part 3)

If I had a need to leave
All I have ever written behind me
O, be one to receive me
And not to mind me
On the edge of a new fountain
O, give your maid servant a male child
O, would you like to live forever
Family and friends together
All that is written upon these pages
Is recorded in heaven
Even in memories of video games
At seven-eleven
O, she is yet provoked
By another cigarette smoked
She is given a double portion
Where no razor would come upon his head
According to such a vow yet evoked
Am I not better than ten sons
O, tell me and lie not
For here I am...














..."Put Your Wine Away From You"...

I start a new day
But not alone so far
No calls on the landline old cheap telephone
As monogamy is organized
By God for the highest happiness
As to what is right here
I am prone to forbid not polygamy
As well to be carved in stone
I know the sun will shine again
To melt our pistachio ice cream cone
There is life even after a broken heart
For there is none besides you
O, thou art
Because I rejoice in your salvation
That as well is as mine
She is in bitterness in soul
And drinks no longer of this sweet wine...














Hanna's Vow
7-22-14


I don't care if you don't like the way I look
As so I love what I see in the looking glass
Today in the book
Seeing all that is me gaze back upon me
In all that it took
O, my horn is exalted
O, my heart rejoices
In every cranny and nook
May the steam sink deeply down
In such by the baiting of another steel hook
Choosing five smooth stones
For my sling straight from the brook
And then I rose early in the morning
To but worship
To return to our house at Ramah
To greet my brothers
Where Hannah yet conceives
And God doth remember her in this...
