Summer Breeze

Softly the summer breeze
Unburdens me ~
Maybe life will unfold delightfully 
Maybe spitfully,
Even tragically (if true love fails)
Remember me!

Balmy weather makes me remember
Riotous behavior,
Even though I was younger,
Eventually outgrown,
Zephyrs of summer remain perfumed
Ever after.

Ode to the Ocean

Ode to the Ocean

All-encompassing, a vast blue might,
Billions of droplets, reflecting light.
Coral castles, where sea creatures roam,
Deepest trenches, a mysterious home.
Ever-moving, with rhythmic sway,
Fresh ocean breezes, greet each new day.
Glistening surface, a mirror so clear,
Haunting echoes, for all who draw near.
Immense and ancient, full of lore,
Joyful dolphins, leap from the shore.
Kelping forests, where life can

Still Alive

Contest Name: When my life changed
Sponsor: Kai Michael Neumann 
Date: August 17, 2025 


Winds of change arrived at my door without a single hint of rain 
He asked me if I wanted to move to Toronto and I said a quick yes 
Every road leads to Rome when your desperate for escape 
No one knew

I am Blue

B orn on a Wednesday, a child of solemn woe
L onesome in wonder, though flirting with the 'why's
U ndine's daughter, thus brazen like a flow
E rudite wanderer, fleeting in the sky
 
G ladly I receive this God-given mystery  
I ncandescent oceans hiding deep discovery 
R  ivulets outflow as ink-penned filigree
L aced in providence,

Two Together

Boyfriend and girlfriend sing together
Of the future that is to unfold before them
Not about riches and renown but about a
Home filled with joy and life and 
Of true love that knows no death.
Monsieur & Madame living in martial bliss
It starts with a vow sealed with a kiss
Eternally him for her and her for him.

Apprehension

Apprehension a nasty culprit
Putters outside my window, that mud pit
Pulls, tugs, draws inward
Rushing towards scarred vineyard
Emotions fresh, newly healed over
Hoping to not once again spillover
Every time my being is hit
Nudged to stir emotions by some half-wit
Somehow, they stick in the knife and turn
Impale the tender taciturn
Opening the door to boiling emotions
Notions leave, fill me with

Mental Health

Moth wings aren’t as bright
Even when against sunlight
No one fears the butterfly 
Tears smear the maddest cry
A man is scorned for life
Let him morn let him try

Holding on to tender insides
Energy driven by his pride
Amethyst pain from his brain
Licorice lies drive him insane 
Talk to him about mental health 
How to listen how to help

Dranreb Carbungco

Despite the life I nearly slain
	Restore my heart in twain
And ere I wage my cold campaign
	No burden shall remain

Release what’s kept within the chest
	Endure the silent night
Broken, the edges seek their rest
	Change comes without a fight

An old resolve is gathering pace
	Resigned to what is true
Braced for the dawn I cannot face
	Under an altered view

Nothing demands

Loving you.

cancelled

Centred around the trend of today's commentary-
Anything we say that doesn't fit into this
Narrative-your  censored and 
Condemned for your opinions-what
Ever happened to free speech? -are we just
Living in chains disguised as democracy?
 
Chants and placards suit the system of divide-
United we need to stand-but us humans are divided.
Today's society is   
Unwell and

JESSICA DAWN NWAD ACISSEJ

JESSICA DAWN NWAD ACISSEJ

Jesting with shadows, A twin's eerie grin,
Echos of laughter where the black cat has been.
Skeletons waltz by the dim candlelight,
Sister, you are the one who loves the dark of the night.
In a dance macabre, with bony, tapping toes,
Chaos and humor wherever you go.
Always a joke, a morbid, whispered rhyme,
Darkness falls heavy, we've

Compassion

With the loss of my son, many people have shown me true compassion.  It has even changed the way I view compassion.  This is how the wonderful people in my life have shown me compassion:

Ceasing judgement
Offering hugs when appropriate
Making sure needs are met
Praise efforts to move forward
Accept that grief is a lifelong process
Speak
