Best Wednesday Poems

I awoke early that morning as Venus is fading from dawn's sky.
Watching sun rays skate upon the mirror of ripples,gently flowing by.
On the deck of a Princess ship, suspended between the Heaven and the sea.
The mirage of a double Sunrise,as the sun shone upon itself...

Wednesday's Child 

seeds sown in the womb of a barren field
despite repeated failure
hope is the last to die

following heartache, realization 
blessed with an alternative:
the gift of adoption

Ash Wednesday

Ash Wednesday, the day to confess and repent
As we enter the solemn season of Lent
The ashes remind us that "Dust thou art"
And one day from this world we will depart.

Worldwide, the faithful honor this tradition
With devotional hearts and sincere contrition
But, sadly, some people are...

Wednesday is a happy day
     Or so they say
     Or so they say
     So those of you who may:
     Come out to play
     Come out...

Seven savvy sirens
formed a formidable fraternity
of pure-passion purpose
for female fatales.

Murder-minded maids
promised patient pursuit
of tattered, tortured truth
while warily watching
crafty crook’s clever con.

But, bested and busted,
dames drink dark despair
like lambs laid lame
in trickster's tensile trap....

Major misery must have been mounting on Monday.
The traffic jam miraculously DIDN'T end until terrific Tuesday.
The traffic at 4pm was winding way westward which was way 
More than what we wished was wishful thinking.

Well it was a colorful and confusing week.
All the while we were...

Ashes of humanity
Scattered and lingered in hearts of purity
Hallowed and spirited within the psyche of infinity

Weaving with man's joy and sorrows
Entwined with lattices of honey yellows
Drifting in clouds of human form
Numeric and linguistic crypts of cuneiform
Endearing are thoughts and words, not jive
Sprinkled ashes etched on...

Nothing important happened today,
according to an omission 
in the local newspaper Metro page
The death of my best friend ... my husband,
this sad story of injustice was missing
Such a horrible ghetto tragedy
wasn’t worth one drop of black ink
A bucket of widow tears,
and a heavy casket of...

I have a cotton feeling
At the base of my head
It causes my sorit to reeling
With the thoughts of bed....

For a while i'll be away
I will be back, I promise
But for a bit I need to stay
In hospital, I will miss
You all, so just be there!

I know, I am complaining
But I'm just this little guy
With lots of love and caring
Who hates to say goodbye
So...

Finally went to church today-Ash Wednesday
I went for company, communion and to pray
Liked the new people, what priest had to say
I really felt like I was forgiven for sins today

It used to be only God, hard to get Jesus into
My life and prayers, now it's...

I recollect the dark nights, worst nights, worst days, Dem nights, black Wednesday,
My happiness that nightfall was the worst and last case I would love not to recollect,
Damn! I couldn’t kip! I couldn’t have those fantasy dreams of Mars either!
That wasn’t what I wanted or...

And then I told her to put her breast on top of the table.
She lifted then settled on the wet yet wiped down counter,
and I just watched with my eyes smiling for my mouth and admired.
         ...

confronted with the truth
I scurried in my ashes

searching for reasons
reasons I was spared

light came slowly
beckoning my soul

"walk with me" He said
"I'll tell you a story-
I hope you have time
your remaining life
it will take to tell"

listening each day
wonders await me

pictures seem fuzzy
then slowly reveal

His path filled...

A day of prayer and fasting 
To show the Lord our love is everlasting
We promise to sacrifice a luxury or a pleasure during Lent 
It is forty days well spent 
We will not partake in what we sacrifice until Eastertide 
Hold on, we are in...
