The Patience of Ripening
You were picked straight from the stem— a fruit fresh atop the bowl of offerings, something that must be fleece laid over blade. Not taken, but accepted. Not bitten, but cradled. And still, I would let you be the spiked fruit between my teeth— If you asked. If not to taste your sweet, then to feel your sting against my tongue. Pain can be a kind of...

Hey H
I witnessed your eyes and I Wrote a poem. Immediately When I got back home. 5 or 6 years ago From now this was? Cause at the time I felt like this Kind of blue... God... it Would save me. It wasn't true but you Did Help me to save myself. And our lifelines entangled and missed One another. Over and over. Arrows Misguided. ...

Premium Member It's just an Adventure
looking back to when I was a lad They said times were hard, They said things were bad. Picking up tatties, the pulling of peas Coming back home with scratched grimy knees. Screwing the Beetroot, yes that is right Removing the tops from morning till night. You couldn't cut the tops off, that made them bleed Keeping your eye out for the...

Premium Member My Friend Is the Ocean
My friend is the ocean, waters that glide, Rustling my footsteps and tousling my hair; Many the times that we walked side by side, A spark and forever, joined as a pair. Always a cloud there lay over its play, Dappled the sunlight that fell on my face; Heaving, its waters had something to say; Twilight with meteors it took for the...

THE LIE
Tell me your secrets, I’ll tell you mine. Don’t tell me lies, We’ll get along fine. The past is behind us, The present is now. That we can be friends Is amusing somehow. So tell her your secret And tell her your lie. What she doesn’t know Is the road to goodbye. ...

Your Smile Is As Cute As A Baby Seal's
Your smiles frozen over, and you stand tall above the water like an iceberg, so tall and elegant in your presentation. But surface-level trickery can’t fool or satiate my scuba diver curiosity. I see through your poorly constructed ruse. I prep my gear, dive deep into your ocean, and discover that underneath the surface-level beauty lies dormant a bummock of cuts and bruises. The true nature of things, the true nature...

Premium Member A Perfect Moment, Created By Joe And Mystic
Never had I heard a flutter so clear! nor more distinct than the settle of midnight wings; Soft gray wings spreading, fanning coming to gentle fold, soon to follow, a nightingale's song, ...

Premium Member Sisters In Poetry
Two sisters born afar from my terrain one rising near Taj Mahal ‘s glorious dome , another hopping on lanes of maple trees; still, poetry traces their heartfelt rays enduring continental divide like silken wishes on angel cheeks plying on a relay of starlit skies... One a sweetened Jasmine utterly devoid of night's umbra, ohh the other, a peppered Cinder sizzling with the sun's...

Sensations
"And my thoughts are all sensations" And my sensations are all my thoughts. The sun controls the moon, and the moon controls me. She said she was a she/they/we, and we just laughed. Not her we, just us. And my thoughts are all sensations, we'll only ever be as smart as your sun. But the sun controls the moon, and the moon controls we. You've...

Premium Member Final Vestiges of Antigua
Cooled off to take a sip; two. Greedily waking up; fading of the whole cup - butterflies, trees, flowers; drips touching the final vestiges of Antigua. Fear ascended into the canopy, slid along the line; work gloves, gripping. Incomplete instructions, lack of common sense, slowed me down, with my feet off the ground. Grounds remind me, in this creamy, courage cup to not give up, keep going...

Premium Member Winter's Wish
I reached a hand Into the snow The chilly ice Once vibrant glow It's Winter's wish A painful spree The absent warmth Of no degree Although I try To stay alive Your touch confirms No love could thrive Until the crystals Of your heart Can beat a path Back to the start I'll leave a message By transient hand No passer by Shall understand A heart-shaped sign To melt...

When you meet with old friends After months, even years, There is comfort in having No need to switch gears. For the groundwork’s been set And the basics are known, So there’s just catching up – How the grandkids have grown!
