Heaven's Open Golden Gate"Open the gates of Heaven's beginning
Where we end thoughts of awful sinning
Where hope and love will be forever
And think of troubles no more, never!"

She Opened a Gate Sponsor : Constance Le France
submitted : 6/7/25
——————————-
lovingly she opened a tungsten gate to his Heart quantum lasers sharp, her ordained healing art
penetrated a GOSSAMER of silver spider-webs
drew slightly aback to allow patu marplesi to ebb
GHOSTLY armoured soldiers wandered within
from Constantinople fields to Berlin yields spin
filling spirant space with unearthly eerie sound
mighty rainbow...

The TurnFrom pitch black to being the pitch in battle
From self-destruction to self-love
A touch of faith yesterday planted the seed
He heard my cry from the heavens above
Today feels better because of the turn
Back in the race with handy upgrades
I needed dead-head pruning like rose bush
No victory exists without the blood of crusades
I bow my head...

VanishedElla Cuthbert lived with her husband John, in an age of twinkling stars;
They had a little dog named Alfie, who loved riding in pretty, swift cars.
Alfie was loved by those who knew him, as red flowers charm adorers;
And he was the darling of their street, like rainbows, crossing borders.
The Cuthberts had many interests, and on...

The Hurt is Real
Treated like you don’t deserve
tepid greetings that unnerve
No sparks of warmth nor dying embers
Did you hurt somehow this family member
Once you got along just...

The 'Not-in-My-Namers'
They shout ‘Not in my name’
as if for Israel’s self-defense
they were to blame
They scream ‘Globalize the Intifada’
as if their voices ever mattered
They chant ‘Palestine will be ‘free’
from the River...

GhostedThey say it’ll pass
it’ll get better the longer it lasts
They say what’s done is done
but i don’t feel like i’ve won
You took my heart
tore it, broke it, till it fell apart
Now you play the victim
the hole you created, i sit in
I don’t want to become
the monster i’ve come from
Obsessed with yourself, with...

Sunlit Hair
the breeze lifted her sunlit hair
danced to and fro a moment there
her flowery skirt swayed
to a melody no orchestra played

NATURAL POETRY
summer peaks are coming
cicadas are singing za, zi zi, zi...!
How many whispers of time,
flower, fire, rain, cold...
earthly dreams in cycles...!
New shoots on the earth,
renewal crying out,
herald birds chirping!
Leaves swirling in the wind,
mushrooms everywhere,
autumn showing off...
Life is full of thorns,
but also full of flowers,
knowing how to live is necessary...!...

EruptionMy soul erupts with hope
God has given me another chance
The world keeps me on a rope
But faith is a stronger lance
Even with glimmers of light
My soul needs little to ignite
My cup refills for the fight
I disallow earthly spite
Like a volcano rumbling eruption
I allow my inside to smile
My soul reminds me of the sun
Spewing fiery hope...
