Absolved Poems

Return

Mountains so close they are
Neighbors
Holding in the bowl of sky
Keeping at bay the rising sun
Until late in the October
Of falling leaves
And golden larch spires.

Holding that same sun hostage
Now leaving rose colored
In the darkening,
In the cooling of the day,
In the laying...Read More

i am Lao-tzu's water
freely flowing and
damn if i didn't

objects and
objectionable
things around
and or over flow

meditation bell
rings for to relax
but do not talk
for what you've
sought you

Hello Miss Destiny,
It is great to see you.  It was great seeing you every day.
When I first saw your face, I was astonished to see such a young and pretty woman standing before me in hell.  I read...Read More

“Get back in that queue” screamed St Peter
As the throng looked on in dismay 
With the shuffle of feet, on an impatient street
It was destined to be judgement day

There was no alphabetical order
In an air so full of impatience
The righteous...Read More

Tomorrow the earth will still move around the sun-
a sun that will glimpse through thick clouds
leaves will fall from trees and winds may blow
snow will cover mountain tops yet,
I will rise and eat breakfast and shop
some worry that the end...Read More

The allowance of possibilities in the absence of proof
Gained from other than my own eyes,
Which can be fooled.
As a child I didn't recognize, 
Slight of hand, special effects, and perspectives of light.
I didn't care because I needed love and loved...Read More

In the prison of the mind
many an idea awaits execution.
And that’s as it should be,
because not all ideas deserve a life.


Like a diamond in the raw
faith is precious to many,
but imprecisely defined 
it’s hardly a gem.


Some people make
a life-career of...Read More

"Broken Mirrors of Blue and Green"



There,
in the cracked reflection,
broken mirrors
shadow shades of
blue and green
There, 
the true soul
is conjured, 
twin seen
through 
shadow shades of
blue and green 

(LadyLabyrinth/2019)

Abundant shades of grey
Along my way into the city
On full display hypocrisy
The gravity of modern living

One million heated caves
The lighting dots the landscape
Absolved from ancient cares
Within the lairs retired from frenzied motion

Inwardly indifference soothes our minds
All entrained by light and...Read More

I see so many wrapped up in rage,
it consumes them all despite their age,
anger not caused by crimes they’ve suffered,
but by ideas that some have proffered,
brought about by those malicious lies
that a person must ‘identify,’
then rant and cry as if...Read More

~Heart Of A Gypsy~

I was the soul of the storm 
cleansing the misdeeds of all
Removing their cold making 
mankind warm again
How my rain absolved their guilt
And when lightning struck
I was just a flicker in the fire 
But love made me...Read More

My body is a liquid
that keeps your glass half full

I'm merely there to fill the gap
between episodes of a screenplayed life

the need for symmetry
is overdrawing a story
were us could be presumptive

like you said
those expectations were my mirroring
so your repulsion stepped...Read More

CHRISTIAN QUINTILE
Habits
Ingrained die hard,
We need a helping hand
To disrobe,transmute our inner
Nature

Beauty
free from above,
Embedded in our heart
With loving kindness,ready to

For all to see,was and will be
Our God

And of the loving kind-
Available,accessible

“We live between 
the beasts and the Angels”

On this topic
Augustine was right

Our intellects bear
what our impulses share

Separating the wrong
from the right

We live between
the Lord and the devil

Each claiming a stake
in our souls

As primates absolved
into humans evolved

Two halves
—of a now different...Read More

The light bulb absolved its flickering duty

Bayonet stuck in the depth of despair

‘Screw you’ but the mismatch prevailed


Life takes a psychic but the medium is fraught

The planet a stroboscope for fits of illusion

She severed the cord and turned on the...Read More

"50 Words for Poe: The Dolphin"  



Like Christmas 
all come at once
So too, to the 5th Dimension 
a motley crew had arrived
They were all now
One Flew Over the Cuckoo Nest
comfortably ensconced 
all behaving like 
well-behaved fallen angels -
for once


They...Read More

Begone voice of venom!
You shan't intimidate me. You claim control? Wish to lay me low?
I stand firm.Your words hold no more sway.They are feckless.
You regurgitate ad nauseum the same toxic, pernicious recriminations. 
And nibble at my conscience with whispers of...Read More

Almost…

 

You almost had me.

Your charms were nearly too much to resist,

Your comfort felt like no other,

My desire for you unparalleled.

 

I was lost and you found me,

I was afraid but you shouldered my fear,

I was alone and you were my only...Read More

Before I gave the judge my guilty plea
and turned a fable into honesty,
I thought of all I’d miss for ninety days
while patched in pumpkin orange and dwelling grays;

this I’ll confess: unrest confined my crime
and forced my will on unsuspecting time,
until...Read More

Spinning in circles i wonder
How is it you stand before me thinking
Your  vernacular is spectacular
I for certain, do not ever care 
How can I remember to forget what
You are, my friend, foe or fiend
These thoughts haunt me repeatedly
Running through...Read More

Some people believe that sin
Is easily washed away
Like scum on a bathtub wall
Sin sticks to your DNA

Although you may feel absolved
There is a Judgment Day
When all of your offspring discover
They have the Devil to pay...Read More

It seems like only yesterday when your rainbow ceased
The reaper’s blade turned crimson in the struggle for being
Violet droplets forsaken as the final violation struck home
Forgotten the pinks and the mellow the sprite resolution 
A life path cut short had...Read More

People submit to religion and church

Hopeful that by doing so they won't get hurt

Surrendering all choices and decision away

But that's what why we were made

To surrender so as to be absolved

Of all mistakes and bad things that happen along the...Read More
