Skeletal frames
whose beaten hearts
once bore,
the heft of Hitler's war,

Her form holds the scent of Jasmine,
Slight like Laura Wingfield and fragile
as pieces of a Crystal menagerie.

They gather at the folding table
sitting like ravens on a rocky ledge,
or evil gatekeepers of extermination,
cawing out orders of extinction.

The Trinity is composed of three separate or interchangeable entities under one Godhead.
E = mc^2 is representative of Albert Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity, but it also defines the family unit that God intended for all of mankind.

Tamara to Emily
for Emily Dickinson
We viewed the lighted houses well below,
...
As I closed my eyes that night,
I took a voyage through the sea.
He showed me worlds we've yet to know,
He showed me things still yet to be.

The Holocaust - A Poem Of Remembrance
Skeletal frames
whose beaten hearts
once bore,
the heft of Hitler's war,
who knelt en masse,
in silence quaked
with stifled groans
beneath the veil of death.
Through reddened
tear-stained eyes
they prayed in vain,
for meager crumbs
of hardened
moldy bread.
While Kristallnacht
fueled raging fires
that burned old memories
and future dreams.
Death trains droned,
broken bones were stacked,
as clinking gold
removed from teeth
shattered the serenity of night.
Yet, through the horror
of sacrificial lambs,
an image loomed
within a vapor cloud:
Rachel weeping drops of blood,
'My children are no more.'
And what remained
were piles of sable ash,
unmarked by granite stones
that filled the earthen pits.
Yet, I still weep
for what was flesh
reduced to bone and cinder -
for those with silent tongues
who turned away.
If tears were oceans
mine have formed them all.

'Truth, like light, is often slanted'... Tamara Beryl Latham ©
When we fail to use our brains, the losses far outweigh the gains.
Do it yourself and you'll only have yourself to blame.
They say it's black, you say it's brown, I say it's brindle. We all see the same thing through different eyes.
Only lend money you can afford to lose; because, more than often, you will.
Revenge is the fool's way of dealing with pain.
Don't be afraid to take advice from a fool: sometimes he's smarter than you are.
The ones who are dwarfed by glass ceilings, bump their heads, break through on the way up, then emerge as giants.
A wish is but a dream we never share.
Don't tell me what I cannot do, let me show you what I can.
'If you are reluctant to take advice from a fool, don't be! Oftentimes he is just a reflection of you.'
'A liar's truth, like light, is always bent.'
'Though you are there and I am here too long. Every star I see I think of you.' ©2009
