Best Amplify Poems
A poem comes unbidden into my head.
I did not anticipate, ask for or expect it.
I write down five words.
Amplify, beautify, calcify, identify, and notify.
There is no struggle.
I stare at them, wondering what gibberish this is.
A foreign language makes more sense right now
One that I have never spoken and do not recognize.
My muse tries to get pushy with me.
Making me angry, so I shut down.
A voice suggests I could keep these words for later.
This infuriates me. How dare they try to control me.
I tear amplify, beautify, calcify, identify and notify into bits.
Determined not to think a whit about them
But here we are
So I guess that did not work.
Your actions amplify your words
Mute annoyance and melancholy

Amplify intent through silence
Toroidal current speaks
Meld with God consciousness vibrance
We’re the light, our heart seeks
Habit pattens confine
Thus renew heart’s love pine
Under the oneness sign
Be here now present
Amplify intent

Quietus
Can you see
Cause splurge rhyme?
Word spree free
A deep chime?
Feel how thought
Moves more deep;
A new lot
From deep sleep?
Brief draft zooms
In plain feel;
Now gives room
To bloom thrill.
Craft new trace
As words play;
Seize fine grace,
Light pathway.

Sip the brown brew
As caffeine warms,
Feel fond high stew
In coffee form.
Watch warm gulp tote
A mellow feel,
No need to note
How cuppa thrills.
A double shot
Can fling good cheer,
Bitter taste plots
A fond fix here.
A gulp and swirl
Can flavour zest,
Espresso twirl
Now flames sheer fest.
Cuppa breaks morn
To squeeze light mood,
Salute the dawn
That tastes so good.

Here on the verge
Of a new birth,
Let love emerge
With wonder’s mirth.
What you now see
Comes as glimpse tints,
Your tale can be
A lovely mint.
So focus well
On that clear dream,
Cast well your spell
With mindful streams.
Wave upon wave,
Your thoughts within
Can surely brave
Love yet unseen.
Wear a kind face
That speaks profound,
Watch light and grace
Amplify grounds.
See with your heart
The journey here,
Your soul paints art
With ample cheer.
Look well and see
Your love story,
For you will be
All that you see.
