I arrive early
I am thirty minutes early to my doctor’s appointment
a yearly welfare check to see if I am suicidal or whatever
Employees arrive along with me, carrying things here and there
Setting up their work stations for the day
Putting toilet paper in the bathrooms
Reminds me of a frenzied hill of frazzled ants
I keep my head down, writing feverishly

Vector Always Arrive On Line Of Success
Energy is useful if you are real.
Leaving no mark of inhibitions,
Be consistent in using your light.
To the truth and to the needy people.
Share your thoughts, call and explain.
Part of the journey is arriving the line,
Deep appreciation of courage and strength,
In passing the ordeal of life as vector,
It always come out once in pursuing goals,
And if

I Did Not Arrive
The message was clear.
But I did not arrive.
Something took me—
quietly.
Held me hostage
in a battlefield
without coordinates.
Echoes detonated
from inside,
each doubt a buried mine
I stepped on
without moving.
Fear didn’t shout—
it infested,
dripping into the marrow,
slow and precise.
There were no weapons,
only aftermath.
No fight,
only surrender
masquerading as endurance.
The scars remain—
but even they
refuse to speak.

You were always meant to arrive before I could name you
You were always meant to arrive before I could name you,
I saw you in the hazy delirium of midnight visions,
In the golden-woven horizon where dreams dissolve at dawn,
I reached out to you with hands that had never touched you,
Whispering your name before I even knew it,
And when you came, I did not sigh in wonder,
But

friends arrive from unexpected places
friends arrive from unexpected places
Some have slipped out of the Congo
One of mine is from the River Nile
Oh, that is also the Congo? Who knew?
I have friends all over the USA
In possibly all fifty states
Two friends in Australia,
six or eight in the UK
One friend lives in the Isle of Man
They are as dissimilar as they

When I go to Heaven someday; my love's spirit shall lead the way.
I want to meet my grandfather in a valley of pink lilies.
I shall embrace my cousin in fields of tiger lilies.

Joys when arrive, when leave
Why O Joy when ye arrive, please,
But never when ye leave—
Why when ye leave, rob all my ease,
Why O Joy when ye arrive, please.
Why, the way Moon brightens up eve,
Never at dawn so pleasing is,
Why O Joy when ye arrive, please,
But never when ye leave.

Spring Will Soon Arrive
I know you will think of cunningness, as I am a fox.
Yet, I too suffer winter just like bats, cranes, or hawks;
I grow a thicker fur coat and creep into warm places,
I twist and push myself in my tail, and pass cold phases...!
My coat has been growing long and dense and heavy, and hard,
My

The Voices Arrive
At first, the voices go unnoticed.
But soon, I realize they are attached to me.
So powerful-
Yet so debilitating.
It is as if the voices always arrive just before me.
It is as if they have become my new destination.
Or maybe my new destiny.
Like stardust.
Like danger.
So that even though I have gone missing-
It

When You Arrive
When you arrive,
I will be there to meet you, Love.
bouquet in hand -
violet blooms to match
your blue eyes' sparkle.
And you will be there with a gift for me -
the smile in your sweet eyes.

The Glories Near
** THE GLORIES NEAR **
Here! The Glories have arrived from
afar..as far as east from west.
The Glories come riding mists
To lead us leaping over our discontent;
over waves lost from their beaches,
their glimmers grayed,and moon sunken.
The Glories bring our maps to
The Exquisite: our longing, our desire.
But, the

Nowhere To Arrive
Let me live to be hundred and five,
A child once again and all so naïve,
Unhurried a passion
Of no destination,
And a journey— nowhere to arrive!

It is the goal post, aim or ambition that snatches one away from the now-and-here of life. Living with no burden, it seems, is what makes

When I Arrive
When I'm finally called and when I arrive
A tsunami of tears will befall my eyes
Standing there I'll see again my brother
Be so amidst in embracing smother
Where's dad I as I struggle with words
It's been so long his voice to be heard
We so wanting his embracing smother
Us back together, my father and brother

Rainbow Faeries Arrive
The joy they exuded was a delight in the sky
They brought love to the world in the flicker of an eye
We had never seen faeries as beautiful as these six.
I stood there watching, completely transfixed.
What sort of merriment were they bringing our way?
It is only six o’clock, so I guess it will be a
