Best Emanates Poems
The maple leaf of autumn is now crisp crimson,
shortly ere sun-bronzed skin simmered lumened
I indulge with the saddened left behind to wither,
these not listful ears awaiting beckoning me hither
Hours freeze, minutes in tow, the world halts,
when pains chronic symptoms claim free of faults
Suspended in time lingering in liminal limbo,
indefinite neglect being its sanctified symbol
Decline is a beginning I politely pick up the pieces,
within my confines the endless summer ceases
As a recurring familiarity in the distant breaches
shadows sweep at dusk attaching as leeches,
feeding on a sueded soul, voiding bruised veins,
hallow numbness in my chest is all that remains
Love weeps salt tears brined with both joy and sorrow,
fasting with false hopes macerating raw tomorrows
Ache tests how much weight my heart can hold,
I’d glide into the dolostone matrix, I’d break the mold
What is shared binds two souls along with betrayal,
and only feeds this fervor, savior this is where I fail
Arrows dart freeing these eyes of debited desire,
through a heart, a flame that had once felt fire,
suffering knows that I and I only hold love blame,
at a time when two accomplices felt the same
A brief breeze during a feverish Roman August
foolish pride thwarted lost, what won, writhes lust,
whys are worn, days don’t pass, nights don’t end
Sextilis its name should’ve kept, allotting to transcend,
moods madness ‘neath moon’s tortuous tattletale’s
of September’s blighted face flurrying gust strewn gales
I now stand in a place of my own crowned in pearled onyx,
reborn upon the highest thrown, I drink fortitude’s tonic,
'till September’s sapphire emanates from melancholia,
here you come again, shattered dreams laden with insomnia
A person's thoughts, how secret we think they really are
in reality, however, the truth to this is indeed very far
how can we really think to be judged, for all the things we have done
unless our Creator above knows all, nothing hidden from under the sun
Coming into this world against our will, is something I feel and know
but contemplate the fact this same way, is how we are going to go
what matters most is to achieve our task, for the duration of our stay
making due with what we have, and choosing to go that right way
A soul placed in us from a higher place, in our body below does it rest
divine power and free will have we been given, for us to pass this test
everyday how many challenges we face, for our benefit are they designed
giving us an opportunity to come closer to G-d, to this we may be resigned
I have asked myself so many times, why this feeling for love is so strong
the answer to this may be found, understanding our human need to belong
so when we consider these G-d given gifts, bestowed with a great plan
fostering this desire to help others, then life really starts with man
If we had any idea how our actions below, effect the divine world above
kindness we show to one another, forces down upon us their love
so living a life that is divinely inspired, is more than just moral and just
this power of giving and doing good, makes living life nobly a must
At the end of our days, when that time comes for that place on the other side
content we can be to let them know, at least we made an effort and tried
human frailties are not accidental, our Creator fashioned us just so
challenging us to give us reward, for all the good we have done below
“Ghosts Love Emanates”
Tomorrow never ends
and yesterday kissed away
as an old friend
NOW
Love
emanates
a question
is answered, unheard
again and again
some say
Love
never wins;
It’s all that matters,
it calls you
forward,
when you hide
when you run,
Love
like a phantom
follows; you think
it lets go -
Love
always
holds on.
It’s all that
matters,
it calls you home
time
and time
again,
it calls
you
forward
and impossible,
translates to
I am
possible
in the end,
LOVE
my darling,
is all that
I am,
that matters most
LOVE
always
wins
even for those
who never
believed in ghosts -
this promise
assured
my darling,
LOVE
always
wins
(LadyLabyrinth / 2021)

Lighthouse emanates
The light from within the stars
Light on the wave’s crests…
Water that will magnify
The perfect light from the sky
Russell Sivey
The sun will shine brighter tomorrow when
Reaching out to another, every arm extends
Wrapping around love, yearning for a hug
Gesturing admiration in universal language
Like beauty of flowers and the beat of music
Sound of peace gratifies every human being
So does the smile that emanates from heart
So does pure love that embodies no bounds
