Poem
The Quality of Mercy. A mouse doesn't ask for mercy from a cat. It can't meow the syllables. Though its stomach is full, the cat,being unacqainted with mercy, will toy with a mouse. Does the tiny heart that beats to bursting point, feel eternity?.... while pinned to the floor by that mighty paw! Any soldier could tell you. Suzanne Delaney Orsie My cat is so magnificent Each of his whiskers lies content His purrs are so benevolent. Morning Glory The clouds have on the blush of dawn And birds give voice to early morn. Now spreading light pulsates with life With joy another day is born. Fairy's Dilemma The fairy was stuck in the cobweb The spider was hungry and near But she whipped out her golden scissors And snipped herself free from Fear. Mind and Heart Impressions are like footsteps in the sand, They leave their mark as surely as a Lover's hand On Mind and Heart. Teddybear Dreams My Teddy bear stayed in Toyland When I out- grew Childish things He stayed there in carefree moments And lives on in make believe dreams Alone on the bed he ponders He heaves up his shoulders and wonders Looking and longing for Childhood That can never come again. Attachment Mother you gave me life and breath, and yet I asked for more. Lover you gave me self and worth, A peace I waited for. Sense of Betrayal Lies are a thin veil - A filmy shield Through which the heart can sense The shape of betrayal Grains of Truth Aware of our potential- We sift the sands of our past Until huge dunes block our heart and pile up in our minds And make a desert of our Souls. Minotaurs All We are all separate entities- Isolated in the labyrinth Of our minds. Tuesday, September 22, 1998 Eve's Advocate With cold eye, beady, dead in space, Uncoiling with hypnotic grace, Slow motion skin - an awful lace, To silent earth, no sudden trace. Friday, November 6, 1998 Weed in a Crack Arid soul with barren mind Sees desert where oases' stand In concrete bare, instead of courage, Sees a weed he should discourage Poet's Impasse' Why should I add another word To words that everybody's heard Because To say, "The morning web is hung with light." Is not to say, "A spider gathered jewels today." Eternal Read Let heaven be a library Of books a great infinity And on a cloud I'd fill my need To read and read And read and read Hands of Fate Sophisticated games All aimed at selfish gains And motives devious and real Around the mind like strangers steal Feline Wonder My cat's back hocks are so comical She walks like a teen Lolita in her first high heels She teases all the tom - cats with her feminine, feline wiles But never intends - to make one of them The champion of her nights Gem of Ages The Earth is a living Opal A vital jewel in space. Blue Flowers Blue petals - Fragments of sky Notions, emotions Forget - Me - Nots sigh Bring me blue flowers when I die. Indelible kiss. Blow me a kiss. How intimate it seems to my soul. The memory of it, is now stamped in my mind, indelibly. For that instant we remained connected across the space between us. Endless Beginning Are Eternity and infinity equal? On and endless journey in an un-mapped cosmos would eternity run out?... before I reached infinity. Entering a black hole I might find myself ?......at a dead end in space...... or falling into the threshold of time. For Randomlings Poetry Contest
