Aware Poems

Plight of the Wight

Never again to know fresh air,
Combing worms from my matted hair.
No one remains who’d ever care —
Tied to my grave, this lonesome baire.
I must escape the sun’s harsh glare,
Tread carefully down crumbling stair,
Descend into my crypt just there,
Where I sit alone in dark despair.
Upon my ancient worm-eaten chair,
Inside my vaulted charnel house lair,
Such a sad

May we be blessed to make it our objective…our intent…our goal
to be aware and to stand up any way we can
to those with a shadow on their soul..

Premium MemberLemons and Life

Of all the songs
You seem to be
The tuneless one,
Less subtlety.

God's orchestra
Has dealt a hand—
More toneless rasp
Than golden strand.

I wonder if
You long to be
A star
In morning's reverie.

Do tears well up?
Perhaps that's why
You paddle more
Than flit and fly.

And yet…
I see you
Standing proud—
Such confidence
In every crowd.

You waddle round,
For pictures pose—
Such character
Without a nose.

You dress with style,
All brown and

SUCK UP

Move or walk 
With those you confide in
So you can do whatever you want
Without being fearful or timid.

Pay attention 
So you don't, fall a victim 
You never pay twice 
Maybe you lost attention 
Letting your opposition 
To  take advantage of you again.

Stay strong, stand firm
But be fragile 
To those 
Who wanna see you on

The Beauty that is firmly aware

Showing your beauty
By your light of nature 
And by your inherited sincerity 

Nothing needs deliberate
Of teaching hearts 
Of  the judgments by eyes 
Of the planning by head
Of the making up by hands

Let them acknowledge
The feelings of déjà vu
Let them meet and collide
To spark their skyline 
To light up the cool night

Let the hearts dancing

Mind of the Heart

Mind of the Heart

There is a river to cross we all think impossible,
The water is deep, it seems so improbable.
We sit and wait for help to come,
But being alone begins to dawn.
How? we cry, our fear and pain already drawn.
God gives a breath for us to take,
And in that space a plan we make.
To stand

The Mask

My mask is slipping, I try to keep it on. It makes me feel scared, All my defenses are gone.
I never keep the same face, 
Most of the time I feel out of place.
Who am I? Do I want to know? I am scared to find out . 
Am I a friend or am I

Premium MemberSlow Down

Slow down.
Catch your breath.
Going too fast.
To where? You don’t know!
But you’ve got to get there. Can’t be slow.
Can’t be late.
Hurry. Hurry. You have to do something.
Don’t know what.
But you  want what you want – NOW.
It’s all about you.   Be aware.  Be wise.
Slow down.
You’re missing the best while striving for the unknown.

An Aware Apology

I’m sorry.
That you are suffering.
That you are misunderstood.
That you aren’t shown the love you should.

I’m sorry.
For not noticing. 
For not hearing you.
For not seeing your struggle.

I’m sorry
For listening
Only to turn around
And tell someone else. 

I’m sorry.
For not being very helpful.
For my selfishness.
For making this about myself.

I’m sorry.
For letting it get this far.
For watching you get

Premium MemberUnseen

So you think you/
Can talk about me/
Behind my back/
You call me names/
A big mouth/
You are mistaken/
Isn't it you/
That is the big mouth/
The liar, the fake/
You don't have a clue/
Who your enemies are/
Keep spreading your lies/
It's the unseen in me/
A creature of Hell/
You need to be aware of/

Premium MemberLook Inside

You look at me with a lot of disgust/
But, you really don't see me/
You don't see the power in me/
You are not aware of my divinity/
You think you are smart/
But if you knew what I hold inside/
If you knew what I really am/
You would scream, scream, scream/

Prove and Learn

I have heard eternal fires burn
With notes of lessons yet to learn,
And bathed in Basho’s lyric streams
Of Summer, Winter, Fall and Spring

I have climbed the lichen cliffs unseen
And heard that tranquil rhythmic theme 
While watching herds of elk below
And never thought to draw my bow

For there in Father’s well-laid score
Was harmony displayed, and more.
It was

Premium MemberMono No Aware

Warm, soothing talks that lit my days,
    Such tender words you'd always say.
I'm madder than I've ever been,
    Because of you, my sweetest sin.

You seized me with your childish smile,
    Enchanted by your graceful style.
My dear, I dare not ask for more,
    Such

FOLLY

Folly 
A game the fools 
Play thinking they wise
Finding pleasure 
In nothing doing nothing 
Endlessly ripping another.

Instant gratification 
Their goals
Can do anything 
To you for the top
Instead for you
To the top.

Creepy acts
Them actions 
Selfishness them route 
Without discernment 
Riding on another 
Instead with 
Be aware of them folly.
