I May Appear


I may appear, at times, foolish in my human shell,
but I have by no means been fooled in the dance.
I have moved through the years in reverse order,
now the light is shining brightly, my spirit is moving outwardly
toting Love and Peace from the inside to the out of Me.

I do not pretend to know, but what I’m given, I believe,
is a truth born within and now being sent through my speech.
The medicine’s (God) changed me from who I had become
to a person now enveloped in Creation’s loving tongue.
She’s with me, is Love, a union with Peace since begun.

My way may seem reckless, but it leads Me to Heaven,
a course set long ago, lifetimes of forgetting where I've been.
The many spirits in Me now, do sense a fateful dawn,
a road less traveled my feet have been set down upon,
The truth of the wind and Me honoring the Mother’s plea,
Creation’s glance upon the very nature of We.

Mark Richard Prime,
the last one
with Love’s agreement
and Peace’s tongue…

Love and Peace

I have been witness to the four pillars and see no reason to carry death there. Doesn’t the world know that life moves for more than just the sons of Abraham? O! I see the stunned throats floating by in the dusk to their stiff-limbed sleep as metal rains down over the Jordan’s western prophet, children dying there. I am here, waiting, breathing in the dusk under the shadow of the patriarch, asking, can we again build the shrine inside the soul and leave our flesh to time? © 2008 mrp/thepoetryman

Waiting for It

Why do they stay there, between war and peace? Sky’s tapestry doles out guns, bombs and rocks while flesh and bone swim away from the ache yet live on as the food for the murder of peace. Why do we hide from the truth as if it were an ogre while death makes a home inside their living and war dispatches a raven to their door, smirking with the teeth of empire? Why do we wait, stooped for another wink? The sky’s drapery has tossed down ample clues, peace is breathing in harmony with war. (Road-maps are useless to blind leaders.) Why do they hold there, hunched in the gloom? Hatred’s bird cackling with bereavement needs end. Are we not rightly dishonored when we fill its trough with blood? © 2007 mrp/thepoetryman

Next To One Another (Amerotica)

If we lie next to one another, do you think we’ll forget the world? If our fingers hunt like tongues, do you think we’ll stumble upon silence? The dream begins the same, I’m older, my mind and body, slower. The dream ends the same, you lying next to me, fingers wagging. If we rest next to one another, do you think we’ll fail to notice war? If our tongues search like fingers, do you think we’ll assemble peace? Naked, both shining with grief, we sense the other’s bones like a sniper, spin new selves with each innocent, (child, dream, mother, hope, father) slain. Tonight we’ll unwind nightmares, our imaginings, dreams, will begin the same, mind and body slower, wagging, tongues speaking the drama from slumber. Copyright © 2006 mrp / thepoetryman
