They just hum
I listen to their stories, And also their vivid theories. I listen of their swords to tears, From their triumph to fears. About their cold nights About their moments of flight. About their pains, And also about the dragons they have slain. About their tries, About their sighs. About their lows About their highs. Why I listen? I am not aware, Or maybe because...

Potholes In My Heart
The scent of wet Earth rises a ghost from beneath the lavish bungalow. and above the high-end ceilings and chandeliers which never flicker. Nostalgia trickles down like sweat Glimpses of plastic buckets catching rain and our salty tears flood the eyes. Flashbacks strike like lightning remembering the only toy- an abandoned kite I tried to fly in rain dampens my spirit. Loud wails roar like thunder hearing the...

From The Heart
Times are tough, but know I’m here, Your forever friend, my love, my dear. When sky’s turn gray and shadows fall, I’ll be your light, make me your first call. No matter the storm, please don’t be afraid, I’ll always be here, it’s the friendship we’ve made. The pain in your heart is quite overwhelming, My friend, my dear, I’ll be here...

Calvin’s Heart Beats Orange and Blue
In Edmonton’s chill, where the faithful stand,?Calvin cheers loud with a firebrand.?From Gretzky’s grace to Messier’s might,?He’s lived and breathed each game night. He knows the legends—Kurri, Fuhr, Coffey—?Their names like verses in hockey’s poetry.?Now it's Connor, blazing past the pack,?And Draisaitl keeping defenders back. With Bouchard’s blast and Skinner’s saves,?Calvin stands tall through losses and waves. The...

6 Dead, 4 Wounded, And One On The Way
Leukemia boys and Leukemia girls wave in hospital volunteers, as the angels wave them away. What is love? Beyond an overpriced ambulance ride, and an unnecessary hospital stay? The most beautiful things: summer sweat, and Rome after rain. Inside, a child draws a yellow sun with trembling fingers. The IV, taped down like it’s trying to hold him there. Forced positivity. A heart full of apathy. I see that same world you try to see with substance sober, and I’ll be the first to...

The Gardener I thought, could I shape the clouds, Those ones on high, With hand and mind What greater blossoms then would come to eye!? Beauty of some rarer orchid, or rose? Or just the tip of my protruding nose, sniffing for scents where they are not…? Botany my heart!...

Premium Member Speak To Me From Love
When I’m in a place of darkness and cold, Speak to me from Love, no need to be bold. For you’re only sharing what you’ve been told, Allow Truth to flow through that’s good as gold. Dear writer of poetry, release truth which can mend. Let it flow through our land and spread like the wind. Write from your instinct, tell...

Premium Member Immanent and transcendent
Path of the heart transcends the universe, in a realm eternal beyond space-time but if we’d sing a love song, pen a verse, ego is retained to feel bliss beat’s chime. The heaven mind seeks too orbits God’s heart, so reaching the zenith is not enough, since form will die and we’ll need to restart, surfing waves of earth life, both calm...

You, in Every Frame
Your eyes? They're like midnight — not stars, just... midnight. Dark, full of something I can't name. I get lost there. I always do. It’s frustrating, kind of thrilling too. Your smile? Trouble. The kind I’d trip over twice and still chase. It hangs in the air after you leave — Like perfume or a half-finished thought. I hate how much I replay it. Your...

The Beat of My Heart
Without a word I slip out of bed and a thousand conversations run through my mind as I walk barefoot across worn carpeting. Two nights ago, I barely made it home while driving through a deluge and water on the roads. I defied the warnings and survived as bolts of lightning laced the sky. I was the storm. I was the silence. Now as the sun pokes...
