Best Appeased Poems

I savor my precious, quantum bliss;
the vibration of the strings, echo Heaven’s kiss.  
In parallel worlds, are parallel lives; 
With them, I can identify.

I’ve passed through, many walls of stone; 
through countless lives, I have roamed.  
I’ve tasted every experience, 
I found, that...

When the mirror of 
               life is a gossamer film,

THE LAW

Yet sacrifice would cover for Love's sake
before that time, the Law was sent to guide
sin offerings appeased man's guilty state
but could not change his rebel heart inside.
The WORD was written down on Torah scrolls
with warnings and commandments to obey
God's prophesies with promises foretold
of blessings...

(a rhyme revision in stanza 9 in case the sponsor already read this.)

'Twas the night before Christmas. My shopping was done.
But gifts needed wrapping, and THAT’S never fun!
Huge piles of gifts lay strewn everywhere.
They lay on the counter, the sofa and chair.

I needed to organize...

Thank you  
How I keep saying  
Deep gratitude showing  
Generosity, kindness, beauty  
The wonder and joy of giving..
 
What would I consider or measure  
The value of what is received, the feeling of pleasure  
Unable to weigh or count...

In the heart of the blackest abyss, down, 
Down, in fathoms deep crypt, where light
Does not penetrate, and the structured protective hauls,
Of men, are crushed beneath pressures massive
Weight, of the oceans deepest depth.
This is truly inner spaces aquatic zone of the
Unknown, a realm of stilled...

Those happy, golden years, the children growing up...
   great days of joy, some tears, sweet nectar in our cup.
So blessed the three of them had come to fill our life;
   each one a special gem...years spent with little strife.

I composed a song version of this poem with different lyrics but the same "beat".
When you see three "dots" ...  pause for a second.


All it took...
Was your hand caress my neck...
As you passed.

Or a word...
Of affection, not some play...
You were cast.

No gifts... to please,
No...

THE HUMBLE CATHEDRAL

In the glaring eyes of the sun
dressed thin in lush green moss,
my shady sky-high trunk compeer
dark brown wrinkled arms spreading free
my slender fingers of verdant hue.

They swing, swing in quiet seesaws 
attune to the cradling light of July breeze.
Pleased and appeased, I puff...

What does innocence cost, you ask?
    It seems it's just a grand,
        For I know a girl who had hers sold
            By her Aunt,...

To thee I sing O’ muse of verse,
Of our world that the Gods do curse.
For what Gods are these who cruelly play,
Their wicked games, for which humans pay.
Not content with a world of joy & love
They spite us all from Olympus above.
To try us all...

Deep in the hills of Kentucky while picking strawberries from a patch
I hear a deep moan and a groan not to far from where I am at

Rising up to take a peep my fear making me start to sweat
I see a big lump of fur...

GRAPPLING  WITH GRATITUDE 

Oh Gratitude, 
Gentle as a butterfly.
You alight upon
my emotional reverie
to birth my questioning.

You have risen 
as an inward glow 
of unexpected proportions,
ready to bleed silently 
into my emotional pores. 

Oh Gratitude, ,
I sense your presence,
your cautious ambivalence 
that yearns to express 
some mystical feeling
of unknown...

With a parting of the crimson seas,
they aren't appeased with just a smile
That girl who walks the star-struck mile
will pay a price that goes unseen

They catch a glimpse and swallow whole. 
Then nonchalantly steal her soul, 
with no remorse or thought of deeds, ...
just goals...

It rained on and on.
the fire in the hearth
had long died out.
hunger grew,	
frustration raged.

vultures swooped down
 to feed on flesh in the night
half willing, half resenting,
surrendered, rather subdued,

desire spilled over,
bristles pricking
from organ to organ
thrusting and tearing 
devouring in greedy gulp

waves surged past the log

passion spent,
hunger...
