Ghost River

Ghost river runs without a shrink.
Little known in polite circles.
With cupped hands, the shameless down drink.
Suspended place, not inked in journals.

A decisive shiver up spine.
Why’d a boat wait at foggy shore?
He’d smiled at me, as we’d cheered wine.
Trepidation ripe...

"A writer must use ink from their heart for their readers." By Poet

Even as a creative "Ghost" writer,
we need "Heart" as we pull an all-nighter.
What will our muse want to "Deliver,"
maybe happy or sad or be a forgiver.
Words can sometimes be very "Tender,"
other times be...

I had a friend- jovial and sweet, in my college days.
The same room, we had shared at the hostel.
I noticed, by and by, she was losing her sprightliness.
Had no clue, what upsetting thoughts nagged her HEART.

One night,...

old age has crept upp on eye

because of my broken teeth

Poetry Month Challenge: Forsake Careless Words of Death

English showcases Joseph Conrad, Dickens, James Joyce, Tagore
Conrad, once a Pole, Joyce may be Irish, Tagore -Indian of course
In political terms, England rocketed after 1558, besting the Spanish
Our 'lingua franca' changed from Spanish to the Queens English

That is all the good news, "I am afraid...

My heart with such dread is reeling.
I’m looking up at the ceiling.

Something’s there though it’s something I can’t see.
I felt it first when it went right through me.

I shivered then because it felt so cold.
The room is frigid. What do I behold?

The ceiling fan is...

,How seasons and weather change
the way I shiver pleasantly from their 
anonymous ways---
daring in the heated blisters of
summer's flesh, then
 mysterious through winter's ghost...

There's no way to measure each
and every cycle's radiance--- I don't know
why they are equal in lush revelries,
untamed yet graceful  
along...

"When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy." Rumi
John 4: 20-14
Words from the list: heart, river, eclipse, shiver, cold, tender, lush


Heavy-hearted searching for something,
Seeking solace
Slowly walking
Down to the river
Feeling cold, shivering
Plodding through
The lush, verdant
Damp undergrowth
Chilled to the...

Words pour from my pores, a river of light
	erasing the shadows of a melancholy
		my thoughts tremble, shiver like dew
whose tender trail across each petal, murmuring

		lush voice of praise, stirring the heart
who hears the notes of a feeling,...

Limb from limb, tear me apart.
Put me in a case with chains. 
Cut out my bleeding heart. 
In the river, toss my remains. 
Don't leave any stains.  

In the cold, my pieces shiver. 
Piranhas gladly clean my bones. 
Alligators eat my liver. 
I'm erased,...

The Spectre of a Bride

~~~~

It looked just like a quiet place
Though *cold and dark inside
I’d scorned all the haunting tales 
Of a *ghostly spirit  bride

I saw it hanging in the room
A cob web? old and stale?
But as I *gazed through dusky gloom
I...

Love S Sonnet
What is love, and how should I describe it?
A smile, a heart that beats only for me,
A flickering star in your eyes, that lit,
Blue sky, a high mountain, the deepest sea.

Winds that gently carries all your whispers,
Flowers that smell like your breath in mornings,
The cold...
