Saiom Shriver Poems

Catholic and Protestant
in Ireland and N Ireland
Muslim and Jew
in Palestine and Israel
...

Matadors wear expensive crimson
brocade to spill the scarlet blood
of innocent bulls.
Hunters don orange as they stalk
...

In each heart shrine
the Lord of Love shines.
'You are Mine. I am Thine'
with each heartbeat
...

The unforgiving scorpio
stings and stings and again
stings.
The transcended forgiving
...

The tree
ravels jade lace
out of empty
blue space.
...

Sometimes God gives His most
demanding villain stage roles
to His most masterful actors,
and to His most advanced disciples
...

Out of the perfect
marble oval egg
comes the angular
alligator
...

The mooring in the marina
only briefly breaks
the blue mirror of the mer.
Mahatmas are only momentarily
...
