Best Poring Over Poems
Light On the Devil's Chord - Day 14Despite his impatience to show me his hell,
He waited for me in my rest,
Lying upon the ground, I awoke in prayer,
Thanking God above and asking Him for guidance
“My heart is Yours, always,
From the moment I gave breath,
To the darkened impasses of death
Forever glorifying Your...

The Showering LotusEndearing the gods of enlightenment, dip tenderly into the rainbows
Color band of intrinsic light, softly breathing, as the hushed breath of
A morning doves first coo of life, the lotus flower does blossom and bloom.
Infusions delicate creation floating in the still pond of the everlasting,
Drifting, swaying...

With a Flickering LampLife was not a bed of roses for many women
who, for time eternal,
left footprints and paved our path, so we can walk with our heads high.

Loneliness
Looking over my northern shoulder
at the changing shades of day
a weak winter sun turning twilight grey
teardrops of rain on the window
the gentle sigh of the wind
storm clouds in the evening sky
bring it all back again
poring over unwritten letters
in the solitude of night
a dim lit candle...

For Josh Q On His Bar Mitzvah1.
Our blessing, our son, our family clown
The cracker of jokes, the soother of strife
Takes it all in, teaches us to slow down
Although he bungee jumped straight into life
Yes, when he’s ready, he can move so quick
But if he’s not, well, grab a comfy chair
His brain...

Pandoras BoxDo you always get burned
When you play with fire?
Must you always
Extinguish your desire?
Not to open Pandora’s box
Yet gave the key for me unlock.
You cleaver fox
This box unlock.
For in its contents
I did find
Such confusion for my mind
For out come poring
Contradict emotion flowing
Knew you well...

Thought Of You Today
Been raining all week. This morning started off with a bit of sun and it got me reminiscing. About my youth. About you. Next month marks one year since your passing. We spent the last seven months of your life visiting, chatting after a thirty...

Balsa Wood and Tissue PaperSpare change was rare at our house when I was a lad,
But you could bet on it, when I got a quarter from my Dad,
I didn't blow it on mundane things like a baseball or a mitt!
I flew to the local Five and Dime to...

Musings of a VictimLet's play a game, shall we?
It's a fun little number I like to call
"Do I miss you because I love you,
or because you're my brain's scar tissue?"
Let's review the facts, shall we?
You're a spoiled NEET who took pleasure from my pain
From making me bend over...

Apples and OrangesApples and oranges are different
It must be the color
They sell at markets at low prices
Along with all other fruits and vegetables
Who have no souls to bargain for
Atheist to the core
Kissed by the sun for warmth
When apples and oranges are pressed for information
Truth and juice ooze...

LifeNight moves over ocean
Vapor trails the sky
The moon sets full
then cuts in half
and stars fill the night
The forest is kissed
by the poring rain
and the smell
brings me back to
from where I came....

Outside In the RainIt's raining, it's poring
I wonder what God is doing
As I lay in my bed I listen to the rain
Dancing on my Window pane
Loud thunderstorms slamming strongly, and aggressive across the sky
Some of you run for cover, and stay inside
But as for me I would...

Ballad
The ForestA windless rain,
Poring of green,
Effervescent kisses,
Pigment on the lips.
Concupiscence silence,
Every moment it whispers,
Voiceless vacuum,
Like the noise of silk clothing,
Or leaves blowing in the wind....

Butterfly Girldedicated to Kerry
The literal closet in which she dreamed
Visions of a world that outside teemed
Whilst poring over texts and theories
Cocooned her life from freedoms’ wine,
The taste of which fermented bright
In the chrysalis cauldron of her mind.
The motors that hummed beneath her skin,
The restless throb that...
