Best Arises Poems
A thought arises
Sunlight heralds a new day
Both fade into dark
Inspired by Raul's Awaiting the Dawn contest
A sea of blue is in his eyes -
a sea of blue and azure skies!
His lips are berries red and sweet,
and in his hair’s a field of wheat
upon the pillow where he lies.
A Sand Goddess Arises
Fervently unveils his seaside Pygmalion
At the pied a terre a sand goddess arises
Sand casted are his piteous passions in sunstruck warm sand
Stuck are her arms and legs trapped, controlling her very soul
The recollection clears, an object of his affection a birth
There is an energy sensed as sand and water caress his fingers
He beholds, if only Aphrodite answers his prayer
her breath of life be given this inanimate object
Her saintly face faintly appears
Features delicate, her hair etched in his mind
His fingers gently shape and capture her likeness
On Sandy Beach Lane he takes refuge from racing thoughts,
thoughts of her that cannot be silenced
An interview makes me ponder
I ponder on her significance
I listen to his cry, his laments
I grow fonder of the lovers
Inside their lifeless, godless, empty shells
consumed by echoes in refrains
I hear the volatile voices carry from both their lips,
exhaustion unfurled by angers dance
If she’d only see for herself, he bares a lost stricken soul
Beach wear suits him nicely, flip flops and hat adorn him
Kind is he to her as he scoops out sand
Stooping over are his bronzed shoulders
as he sculps feminine curves an hourglass figure
An alluring Amazon an apotheosis angel* emerging from the sand
At the pied a terre a sand goddess arises
a ghost
comes forth from
the house of the dead,
a rather unusual apparition –
empty, desolate.
a wraith so worn and
frail, it barely seems
there, as if suddenly thrust
from its icy winter shade.
it rises without sound, or maybe without voice,
a solitaire and lonely
shadow without form.
I wonder what its purpose
is here on this day
and whatever its plans for during its stay.
my fear aside, I can’t discern its intent,
dark or light, heaven or hell, good or evil.
I feel light and goodness on the one side and
dark and evil as it turns its back to me.
perchance it
is here to help guide
me, but where?
It seems a lowly darkle, unenlightened
and slow, but it turns with clear
vision and song of
light with an order
of celestial
beings from God’s land.
I am edified.
It is not the size or shape of the gift,
but the inherent purpose and intent of
its presence.
I shall follow it
with boldness, courage, and great expectations
as it leads me into my
sphere of scotophobia.
From "Modern Love And Other Poems"
A butterfly touched me
With its silken fingers
And told me to close my eyes,
Because she would reveal me
A secret!.
And once I closed my eyes
And opened my mouth to ask
Who was she?
But she reached back at once
With her wet wings and left me there
Trembling as a fool!
~When Troubled Times Arises~
( Rhyme)
Life is not what you or I make it out to be
You want to work hard and play some too
But life is never easy no matter what you do
Still you wish in your heart that it was that way
And in doing so you're wasting in the end your time you see
There are times you sit and wait for a miracle to happen every day
Be diligent and patience in all you desire to accomplish and do
For in spite of everything you'll still get hurt and suffer any way.
Bad things ensue to each of us for some reason
It may not look good at all but for everything there's a season
And come what may come that's life and the way that's to be
It is not your fault or mine when certain things take place you see
So live life well and love and laugh and press on with courage my friend
And when you fail and fall, so what? Get up and pray that you'll soon mend
Because no matter what, sooner or later we all get hurt so bad and then we cry
Our hearts will be broken so many times we can't evade this forever each day
So let your tears fall freely when you need to weep and vehemently pray
Be joyful for God in all His Divine love and mercy will wipe each of your tears away.

The Dark Arises
Holy days passed by,
Its the time of invasion,
In our lives of confusion,
The sins of diffusion.
The dark arises.
You all will be shy,
At conception of your deeds,
This all you don't need,
Its like caught in weeds.
The dark arises.
The judgement of,
Three parts of ,
Past present future of,
Us is approching.
The dark arises.
Holy revelations unreveals,
Your past present unviels,
Get ready to face true deals,
No one can escape when.
The dark arises.
The last clause forbids,
Haram and halal of needs,
Do remember these feeds,
God is watching u and leads.
The dark arises.
when flying flower
kisses tethered butterfly
music arises
Hailing from
ancient times
Artemis goddess
princess of the moon
in bringing light
into darkness
Arising one giant
among'st men
from the temple
of spirits
who hails
queen over
mother earth
Walking in
the valley
among'st wheat
feelings they embrace
held within emotions
stirring waters
in spring fertility
growing food
of love
flowering with seed
Dancing Amazon warriors
playing golden music
upon silver flutes
singing this song
upon the altar
a blazing inferno
of flaming tongues
consuming fire
From out
of the ashes
one star burning
brightly becomes
a rising sun
light of love shines
Upon a great queen
who has risen
kneeling in honor
your servant
born under
the wolf moon
it was a long journey
but i found you
in one single step
justice served
with warm light
within the heart
So it arises, awakens,
Honoring my first felt subtle
Emotion, begins the procession
Of night dreams and bust made in the day,
Of long unforgotten beauty’s face.
A salute to their shining eyes.
A thousand suns,
Rays beheld in deep gray pools of vision.
All crisis adverted as your spirit rouses me from
Deep hearts sleep.
No cold hands here.
The circuits of two joined,
Starts the journey of warned new passion,
Like fresh wine from the new vine.
Battlefield of golden revenge
Smear the midnight sky
Confrontation is growing like weeds!
the fear
the gears
of the fallen warriors
Drags them to ruin
the tear
the fears
of the grief-stricken warrior
Take a hold of him
Battle arises
As the fighters get ensnared by their demises
Battle constructs itself
As the frightened warrior prays for peace...
and stabs himself...
Battle ceases
And his heart is no longer in pieces
Battle spoils
And his heart is free from anguish...
and toil
He survived
In my heart
It's your time to
Just let him
Rest
in
PEACE
There was a time when everything was dark
In my life, and i was a man who had nothing
To live for, until i met you
Everything just reversed itself, it changed my life completely
I felt compelled to do every little thing for you
I could never say no to anything you said, and
I could never tell you that you couldn't do this
Or that, and everything was wonderful, peaceful
And nothing felt like it could tear us apart
We were invincible, a wall of hard rock that could
Never be carved into, and never be broken
The love we made was so pure that it shot me away
Into a world of pleasure, its beautiful aroma sent shivers down
My spine as we constantly sent our vibes of love through each other
All was right and all was well, there was nothing that
Could stop me from loving you, and well
I was wrong to think that when i saw you with that
Other man, and my heart sunk to the floor
The tears from my eyes felt like acid upon my cheeks
Burning my flesh and destroying my soul
Ripping apart every bit i love i ever had for you
I could never imagine this happening, and yet
Right in front of my eyes there it was, and i couldn't help
But shriek in emotional pain and run to you
Screaming in your face i asked for an
Explanation for this horror i saw before me
I cried so much, i could've dehydrated from the tears
And with the same grief inside she broke down in front
Of me, and one part of me wanted to take you outside
And console you, and calmly ask you, so that
None of this broke out to a point where one of us
Might die
And another part of me wanted to take you by the neck
And tear your appendages apart till all that was left
Was a lifeless corpse, squirming on the floor till
It collapsed and died in front of me
But that, i thought to myself, would be just sick
And i erased it from my brain
She apologized, a million times i thought
And my love took over again
I felt the love to forgive her, despite the
Blackened sting inside from that vision
Of her with that stranger
Now, together again, i see this light shining from our
Bodies joined together hand in hand
It was oh so true, nothing could stop us
Nothing in the world could break us
Tear us apart, and crush us
We were invulnerable to anything
We were one
Each day goes by one by one, until each day is done
Your only goal everyday is to make sure life is fun.
People stress about everything, gotta do this and that
They fight about things like money and cars, even the dog and cat.
They argue over the smallest things, yet never take the time
To realize that their lives could eventually stop on a dime.
They need to open their eyes and see what really counts
They need to view their gifts in life, try using different amounts.
They strive and strive for what they want, never happy with what they've got
Yet never see what's in front of them to realize they've already got a lot.
The smallest things matter most, like family and love
The two most important things are self-confidence and your Lord up above.
People need to clean their consciences and see what their about
They need to ask their Lord for help whenever their in doubt.
Why is it so blinding, all the materialistic things around?
Why do people run their families and friends into the ground?
For wants and needs are things that will forever remain...
But without peace and harmony, you'll never be truly whole within your own domain.
and yet we see that life goes on,
and suffer till the sinners gong,
no surprises, maybe realizes,
the nong,
in veritable song:)
what life is?
as hell on earth arises,
strong...

"The Sun Doth Ever Rise"
The sun warms the top of my head as it lifts
over the horizon comes the morning
Ripples, rudderless across the sea, swimming
little fish flashing silver smiles
Pink gracefully sweeps the horizon
the brush of Monet an impression of the dawn
Cloudless, the sky raises in an expansive tapestry
cotton candy pink, lemon yellow, robin egg blue
Shivers of the morning dew sprinkle my skin
like a blossom, the day opens
My eyes fill my heart with the magic of the hour
and I feel the promise of the new beginning
