Shortly after i was forgottenWhen the dirt covers your body
you will truly remember all that you loved
all that you hated, it will grow through
your thighs, between your armpits
between your legs into your thoughts,
your secrets, dead and bloated,
no more pains no more worry,
just you and your secrets,
your tears and your fears, all melting
under the pressure of dirt, the black...

Prayerful HoodLike Merlin, we graze
At thoughts limitless,
Benign souls scribbling,
Keyboards inspired,
Or so it seems,
Faith doubts and believes,
Love's days dreaming,
Stars, the moon, our muse,
Makes our happy hearts,
Okay poets!...

OceanOcean waves call me.
Beckoning me to stop and stay a while. Staying awhile to listen to the peaceful music of the waves breaking upon the sand. Watching waves persistently pulling back to start again with no hesitation.
If only the waves spoke a foreign language only I could understand. I would stay...

Prior to intent
Written: July 18, 2025, for contest Sponsored by: Unseeking Seeker
Line of inquiry:
"heart sets up a vibration
echoing as wordless intent
mind translates in symbols
flight of our soul’s ascent
is intent then a stirring
of soul with God, conferring"

Before tenacity sets off its...

dialogue
he asked her what he could do for her today
sought more than merely the dishes need doing
sort of reply rather something more deeply intense
by the way he had put the dishwasher on already
her answer did no surprise him but gathered momentum
just be yourself which of course meant you need to find out
on your own which...

This Little Light of Mine
Luke 11:36 If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part in dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.
Write my heart in light, softly glowing
So the winds of summer keep flowing
Rising with the dawn, blessings growing
So the song of...

Poetic Freedom -A rhythmic symbol fieThe rhythm is unlocked, started to soar, steady and a rise, bit by bit
T'was serpentine whim, charming shrunk to intertwine, an inferior misfit

Now And Then
When my body is sculpted to perfection,
When my beauty gleams without a flaw,
You may whisper that I’m artificial—
But I am not. I am the raw,
Unyielding truth of perseverance,
The echo of battles I’ve won alone.
You question me with narrowed eyes,
Raise suspicions like...

Kindred SpiritsKindred Spirit
Mirrored reflections ingrained in our fate ,
Her thoughts shining inward designed to sedate ,
Heart beats sings softly with thunderous tunes,
Storms infiltrate morning as we strive to assume,
Relentless intentions meant to keep us immune,
We stare at the full moon it’s light our cocoon.
So travel so softly & reach for the stars ,
Our fiercest intentions...

A Painting by Van GoghI happen to take Art classes in oils. My teacher directed me to Van Gogh's Flores:
I am not sure what it's called. But I am very impressed with it's colors of yellow, maze and the swirls of a blue vase. It appears that the painting is all swirls. I can't imagine how it was...

Glimpses
The grass waved hello
the birds called back.
Telegraph poles stood still
like tall slender trees.
the birds liked that.
the crickets a constant tickle in the ear,
swathes of brown grass bouncing back after drought,
three troughs haphazard on a patch without
any grass. Bare dark earth.
the raven makes its cry
under a bright grey sky,
on a swampy, sweaty day .
my dog...
