Ph: Prayer: Death: Acceptance Accepted

She prayed, 'Oh now I lay me down to sleep...'
Though these familiar words scarce passed her lips,
She sighed, 'I pray the Lord my soul to take.'
Embraced God's poem of lunar eclipse.

Ph: Aging: Old People, Like Treasure...

Old people, like treasure, don't come empty handed,
Their time here, their wisdom, like gold on display,
An empathic spirit who mines without stealing,
Will find that there's much to be taken away.

Ph: Friend: I Call Him Friend

I have a friend with no bound'ries, no corners,
Preferring to just sleep around,
If he should vanish, I know where I'll find him,
For sure, a new girlfriend he's found.

Ph: Poetry: God's Kind Of Poetry

The finite contemplating the infinite
The stardust male and female still flush with light
From exploding stars, seeding new possibilities, our true progenitors.
So that even God Himself must take note of our passing (in its season) ,

Ph: Evil: Letter To Ph Staff From Bj #1

Dear Sirs:
I have always been a man who prefers to work with authorities and within restraints of the moderation, but now I am considering an amazing prank to illustrate and show clearly the harm that Troll(s) do on PH. There must be at least 50 ways you could help protect your membership from Trolls but at least so far, except in the most egregious of circumstances you guys seem to keep a very low profile and little personal contact has been made. What is the harm in showing publicly that you have sympathy for the plight of your members and in discussing more openly your efforts to fix the PH software flaws that allow member's rating of poems and the poet popularity polls to be savaged.

My whole engagement with Mr. Merov, and I do believe it is mostly him because I know his voice, has been an attempt to show you the extent of his meddling and how willfully malicious he can be and the contempt that he holds your whole organization in. I too have been criticising you publicly but please know that I do not hold you in contempt, wish to work with you, even up to and through helping fund your efforts to clean up your site. If there is someway I can be more supportive, in fact, please let me know!

Ph: Life: Whale Speak

Who would presume to speak for whales
And yet who would not speak for them?
Their poetry of depths unknown
The power in their mighty tales

Ph: Oklahoma: Killing Cicada Killers

There are things in my life of which I'm not proud
But my letting friends down tops the list,
I guess I could let my mind walk in a cloud
But the friends that I've lost are still missed.

Shampoo in my Eyes

Relationships can be so much fun,
The inside jokes, the secret ways you

Ph: Faith: If Children Count You As A Friend...

If your smile is effervescent,
If your time's always a present
You love to share with others,
Not just family or brothers,

College: Invitation

Do not wait for rain
To hide your tears
Like a statue standing
Alone in a park,
