Twigs

Twigs

Flowers bloom
And flowers wilt.
Flowers blush
And flowers fade.
The eternity is only in me-
The twig that bears the flowers.

Sparrows are born
And sparrows die.
Sparrows fly
And brighten the sky.
That who nurtures sparrows is me-
A cozy make of a twig upon a twig.

The sun fades
And moon is born.
The twilight blurs
And moonlight spreads.
All the soothing moonlight beams are me-
A crisscross of unfathomed twigs.

Whether in its birth
Or in its death;
In the heart
Of its heart;
The entire beauty is none but one-
A design of mysterious twigs.

My Tree, Branch and Twigs

My Tree, Branch and Twigs

My tree was the life I was given
The branch was the wife I met
The Twigs are my Kids

My tree was not nurtured
My branch went astray
The Twigs are my Kids

My tree was abandoned
My branch I left to nurture
The Twigs are my Kids

My tree is now whole
My branch has grown
The Twigs are my kids

My tree is now alone
My branch is on her own
My Twigs, my kids, are grown

My tree is old
My branch is?
I’ll always love my Twigs

Of Twigs and Willow Sprigs

(A "Hallmark" of Spring)

Tucked into her twig-knitted nest
a small sparrow sits preening her breast
Shallow though her tiny head rises
above it's rim to watch for any surprises

No eggs yet as spring draws near
though soon I 'spect some may appear
Tiny ones in turquoise blue 'n brown
nestled safely among branches around

It must be a sparrow's truest delight
in keeping her brood safely out o' sight
tucked away 'tween a cradle of twigs
of horsehairs 'n feathers 'n willow sprigs

I'll measure my joy in spring's arrival
by this young sparrow's enduring survival 
And I'll languish in nature's beauties
with the watching of her motherly duties

For soon will arrive tiny young squeaks
squirming for worms with frail young beaks
Fledgling little feathers from nest inside
will blossom in spring once winter's denied

But should I lament winter's leaving
or the last fallen snow leaves me grieving
I'll feed my sorrow from the marrow
of this little nesting and pregnant sparrow

Winter's twigs wither when wild wind whisks
sprigs in tempestuous blizzard weather.

Bless My Twigs

Jaba Love the bite of "Bhachu"

Leaves the colour of crimson

Your chariots zooming past

Hearts so desire your embrace

Calmy I now chew worlds emerge

Anthaas is when mind envisions

You are sacred very sacred..

Enemies who demonized  you

Now revere appreciating you

Tributes see rolling in KING

They cross the ravines of Tana

Since teenage ME adoring you

The glory of SIER

Basking under the SUN

Swayed by the MOUNTAIN breeze

Lustfull delinquents staring at YOU

Your sentry the seraphi GUARD

Seven sons of the LIGHT

Striking the thieving wolves

Forbidden from using you VEVE

Show me your FRUITS..

Let me IMMORTALITY embrace

Now in REBELLION, i embrace you

Let them call us goats 

We are higher than Atlantis

Nivarnas beacons in realtime

An electric current uniting

All currents byword Karama

Indeed your word CIIRA is law

Flowing beautiful meandering

MAARANJA is where I will build

My throne straddling the gate

City of gods and immortals

WABA you waters a people blessed

Am but SWORN to protect 

A people a tree a vine - ADOOR

JOY does eventually come..

In deeming witness to the STAR

Your sandal straps am not worth..

To untie yet they now yield to your will

The CALL unto repentance

I will call you ELI for you are chosen

Will you my redeemer try my farm

My vine and fruits the best in the land

Not just food but it is soul food

For the JUST ones THE UP-RITE

They were but slain... SHAHADHA

Upon the second heaven am planted

The eastern bypass I see you are open

Its time to gain entry..

For the elect to go home

It's your RULE we desire

Oh JUST one of ZAYUINI

Your word is LAW

Millennia in your presence

The govt from above..

Secrets abound regimes fall

Yeshua You are worthy

Premium Member Twigs Shaped Like V's

The sun sends forth her fiercest rays
   Yet no warmth is felt this December day
The wind chills my bones, though the heavens are blue
   Trees, bare of leaves, offer unrestricted views

of twigs at the end of tiny branches, shaped like V's
   In Spring they'd be buds, now -- veins and capillaries
framed 'gainst the backdrop of that raw clear-blue sky
   Poised for coming snowfalls, my heart wants to die


Premium Member Dreams Made of Twigs of Pain

A turbulent stream cascades on dry desert floor 
Foaming waters flow up the high dunes in spree 
Summer sun burns wasteland to green in the core  
The charcoal night lights up the daytime debris. 

Life is shattered by time’s smooth flow at its slowest
In chilled winter night I’m smoldered and in strain 
A wandering wounded deer I find a tiny bird nest
To lie on sweet dreams I make with twigs of pain.

Twigs embrace fragile

Woven, random tapestry

Unborn future care.

Winter To Spring

WINTER  to  S P R I N G

Welcome Spring bring
Goodbye Winter fling

Snowflakes use to glow
New seeds start to grow

Twigs and shoot flare
Blossoms scented the air

Cool breeze sprang up
Potion of poetry dose up

Butterflies and bees fluttering
from sweet nectars sipping.

Taming Teenybopper's Twigs

eerie odds itched
fumbling frails flipped
saucy syllables puked
nosing nocturnal nude
lanky lust birthed
heaving haughty pandemic

ordeals awed strife
taunting tuning thrives
wielding whooshing wiles

dark dribbles dripped
tracing bruised tips
laced wit's lips

trained technology thrilled
taming teenybopper's twigs.

Note: Of trained technology.

The Young Twigs

Children must follow
What is good and God's way,
As parents sage say.

On all our Christmas tree twigs
On the boughs and the sprigs 
Adorned with the presence of 
The Present and the Dove
Gently dancing out Their Christmas jigs

Scared Twigs Twisted

Like smithereens in cahoots, 
Tensed flames swept and did brood. 

Leaves strange stood
Legs curled - proper nude. 
Skin sore of whips
Traced on veins by the fire's teeth. 

Root rustic rhyme, 
Though irregular, the branches would comply. 
Tilting crack-dance, 
The earth received the soothing lance. 

Imprisoned in ditto jive,
Oaks, Figs, gave tries. 
And the fire lick and slew, 
The libido of the jungle

Clouds in lofty peace, 
The malady did see. 
The sun swift in pity, 
Whipped the cloud till weep be. 

The tongue of the flames were cut,
And roasted in the returning sun. 
Yet the scattered trees lay, 
For their impending decay. 

As wickedness is curbed, 
But its breath pounds still in curves.

Premium Member FROZEN PRAYERS

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Winter's bony hand~  
twigs etch prayers in frozen air,  
branches hum low hymns.  
The brisk wind reads them aloud,  
one brittle verse at a time.
