Premium Member Silent Shadows On the Snow

Night's silent shadows softly fall
     from moonlight's muted, mellow glow,
that shroud the land with sunless shawls
     on cold ground glazed with glinting snow.

Tree branches, seen with broader breadths
     by shadows that bestow their...

Premium Member A Cup Runneth Over
When I hear the chirping of bizarre birds in the morning,
And see the sun gently rising; golden rays adorning;
And feel the graciousness of the almighty upon me,
Who, by his abundant mercy, gave me a day to see;
My heart overflows with joy like water from Angel-falls,
From...

My Friend, My Brother, My Pastor
You are awesome in our eyes -
Friend whose love I realize
Extends to depths of oceans
Heights far beyond our notions
Breadths of reach from Mt. to beach
Limits endless; faith to teach.

We are awesome in your eyes -
Ever love, never dispise.
You're always cheering for us.
We hear your voice...

To What End
I waited
Under the outspread foliage
Of the banana tree, 
With ripening fruits dangling precariously, 
Wondering, 
With eyes set on the earth, 
Wishing I understood
This everlasting madness.
To what end would man go,
To what end? 
A mystery it remains, 
Like the age old conundrum 
Of the seniority between...

Old Friend
Memories silently glide by behind like little ghosts
Memories become passive figurines playing with my hands like a toy
I find myself sometimes inside the guise of a boy

And I find myself a while engulfed in all these times 
Behind the walls of one eyed cupboard doors
For...

Odyssey From Africa 6c
CHAPTER 6 (continued, c)

Several of the primate children 
Sat together in the branches 
Of a tree; they did not notice 
Danger silently approaching 
 
Through the leaves a brown and yellow 
Shiny scaly serpent slithered
Closer to the young gorillas 
Eyes unblinking glimmered palely
 
Then one of the watching mothers 
Saw the snake and cried...

An Ordeal To Be Forgotten
Dear diary,
My vented heart speaks to you today,
Help me forget the terrible bygones;
The misfortunes of a young girl,
The pain that she felt
In the coercion of another’s body’s act,
Her screams that were wasted
In crying out for help,
The violent hunger that unleashed 
Itself on her naïve innocence.
The...

Time Is On the Other Side Poem Reworked 27 Oct 17
REWORKED     27 OCT 2017

I'm sorry  I'm reposting this, I had to rework it for better meaning continuity and flow of speech.

Time pulls life by its hand 
and she's gliding along, 
to see, to sense to enjoy, 
proliferates with pride,
but..... it's...

She, there drawn, but not for sleep
          Daubed in guile, the heartless weep
               Cold, the secrets sheets thus keep

Melissa's Wedding Day
Its a bright golden day
A wedding day is planned
The bride is 8 months pregnant
Tries to hide it with her hand

Now that bump is more than a handful
As we are yet to see
Cos she starts to fidget
Has a pain or two or three

Hang on we try...

Stitched Pages
A glue and a saliva
Couldn't hold the lava
     The climax of the data
     The core of the matter
     The part of the bone more fatter

A tail and a head
Couldn't contain the bread

Ladders On Chuckie Egg
Different lengths 
Different breadths. 

Surfing sometimes 
Hard at times. 

Pausing 
Dossing. 

Stretch

A brilliant, wide rainbow bent over a stone in the creek. 
A jealous breeze carries the suppressed echo from the caves. 
White blossoms inspire the soul when it begins to feel bleak.
Purple flowers draw in a fix and shatter into repair waves.

Unhindered by Her force,...

From our Lord’s messenger of fifty enlightening pages.

To serve across seas for spiritual rebirth.
