Patti Masterman Poems

We're going to hell-
And there's global warming;
The globalists said so,
They gave us a warning.
...

If you have twelve men on your side;
Only twelve- and one denies you-
And the rest fall asleep at the critical hour,
You can be sure, it's god's mission you're on.
...

The universe is our patent Father
Mother, brother, sister, lover-
Not the Moon, hanging on high;
Not the far off sun in sky.
...

She's just being herself,
She's just jealous and bored-
I tried to give excuses,
For the hateful and abhorred.
...

does one life hold enough of beauty
to cushion you through the fall?
is there enough queer satisfaction
to slow it to a crawl,
...

Time slows when I'm writing,
The clocks slow down their flight.
It's a world of wrongs I'm righting,
For those too weak to fight.
...

Many summers have left their mark,
In scents of cedar and pine bark.
And storms of dust have found their way,
Through small window screens, to stay.
...

A living world lives in me,
It's alive; I invest it with my energy,
Through thoughts and memories
It lives for free-
...

Man and woman, we laid where clouds copulated,
My head near yours, where the river kissed the bar.
Sat in seats as a couple, all breath-bated,
Watched a star shoot across another star.
...

Love is so darn beautiful and sad;
You'd think something like that
Would make us glad?
...
