Uncomplicated me
I thought I was coloured blind
free thinking and kind
with an evolved mind
Loving and accepting 
of the ones I find

Yet my blindness 
Is that of privilege
I'm just a visitor
in the Global village
From my narrow thin mind
there is too much spillage

Although so many
are forced from their...

Shattering Hopes
My wrapper loose day after day
My motion and emotion unstable
I forget to think
But I wasn’t drunk

I remember in a trance
Stable I was 
My wrapper tight on my torso
Not divulging the firm breasts

I remember vividly when it began to loose
Days turned nights 
The sun withheld its...

Book: Radiant Verses: A Journey Through Inspiring Poetry



Shattering
Without counting the pendulum swings
I fall from trees without leaves for I am simply the bird
Don’t you know what it feels like to kiss the horizon
I am at a crossroads so why not play tic tac toe?

I fall from trees without leaves for I am...

"The Shattering Silence of Falling Leaves"




In Theta waves 
tumbling to 
The Land of Dark Dreams
Trees will capture and save
the falling Princess and Queen
An Bee Cailleach
invisibilia simulacra viro
An Bee Cailleach scries heroes 
incarnate falling in 
The Sea of Unfathomable Sorrow
Lifts her hands to the skies, 
As...

A Diamond Shattering Death

Diamonds shattering just behind her family's door
 for the life of her dear father is no more!
Fate set it's seal too early upon her young life,
 results of a great tragedy born of mental strife.

Death brought shadows blocking out healing light

Shattering Symbols
Shattering Symbols

Sometimes I feel shattered between symbols,
A musician crashes me side to side,
I plan quiet and peaceful meditation,
Then life takes me for an unscheduled ride.

The world comes down with its pressing problems,
The symbols clang and squeeze my aching head;
Musicians’ drums beating,  so demanding;
Oh, for...

Shattering
My heart is shattering,
Shattering like falling glass,
Can't be healed,
Created by my best friend,
Can't heal this shattered torn heart, 
Can't put it back together.

Why can't you see Caleb, I
need you to be here for me,
Please stop this shattering
In my heart?

Please heal these wounds,
Heal this heart,
Make it...

SHATTERING THE SHACKLES…
     (APROPOS  RESURRECTION)…

I shall no longer be your tragedy
     or divine comedy;
Nor the phantom pain of the fake penitence
    you proclaim.
I will no longer wallow in despair
    ...

Shattering Roses
Shattering roses
In the sea mercilessly,
Voiding our hearts 
And thoughts of emotion transfixing
Apathy and lacking empathy of me,
Or of we disintegrating into the sands of a perplexed 
Individuality
Such is the fate of, I
The individuality...

Shattering and Crashing
SHATTERING and CRASHING



An embattled moment gets frozen in time
As an angry storm destroys a glass wind chime
The last noise that it made was a shrill scream
As if its whole existence was worked up to it's own shattering

Being human we are designed to pick up the...

O' I Wept, Tears Shattering Broken Souls


I wept hard from noon until late midnight,
feelings for her loss, no other has known,
for lost vision of her face in cool morns;
and sweet, gentle moments her love brought flight.

That day, sun fell into scathing abyss,
her dear soul touch...

Shattering


Parts of me are shattered
The skies are bartered
The grounds do not recognize me
The fire of love are distinguished

Call me 
A glass which is now broken
The parts of me are not to be found
The mirrors are empty from you

Parts of me are shattered
Parts of me are...

Shattering Love
I open my heart 
And fall part
Into pieces
That all will start
Building up out statue of love
You’re everything I wanted
You’re my white dove

Your giggles make me smile
Are time together is worth the while
Your sweetness is all but mild
Your love is what turns the dial

The clock ticks...

Shattering Light of Life
burns bright in the turn of eYes
Look Love and Listen, Heaven's right here
Not somewhere waiting....

... obsolete and dissolving,
is 'Self' destruct word 'hating'...

There are know "obstacles" to Love
Like a flow of Water upon the Earth
Conquering all in it's Path.

...gentle as a stream and...
