Best Wk Poems

disintegrating all language barriers
she smiled
and pulled me in with the charm
of a profoundly serene magnetism
the epitome of peace and harmony
nodding offered me a card
I took it and she smiled
nodded and showed me
a rainbow of bracelets
from the many colors I chose one
exchanged it for a handful...

I will never know why, a baby of four months, 
I was left abandoned, trampled in dirt. 
At the mercy of adoption. 
To fill the void of ache of a childless couple.
Clueless of the abysmal despair of my mother
I still track my genes....
Did you rock...

the long ringing hum
of the singing bowl 
releasing its holy om
enchanting coasting gliding
hovering in mid air
till elevated to a higher realm
betwixt heaven and earth
mingling with celestial spirits
of obvious angelic descent
connecting mortals with divinity
a chant to intertwine the two
mythical mystical
blessedly delectable

A cardinal whips its trilled zest
Where fields extend into a mile;
That upon bright April's request
My toes wiggle here for a while...
I pause as sunrise paints hued light
By rolling through ridges, how free!
Till more birds arrive come near night
When dreamy hours grant spring's marquee.

When life ends, as it must,
Our time here is finite.
As our bodies turn to dust,
We returneth to his light.

As we close these mortal eyes
And earthbound ties are ending,
'Tis only flesh and blood that dies,
Our spirits are ascending.

For the Lord, he takes our hand
The shepherd tends...

It wields misery like a knife. And there's no magic wand to be waved 
To make it fade into oblivion. It leaves me suddenly hankering 
For the halcyon days of summer. There isn't enough warmth saved
It's chillingly cold, and I can't shake my incessant shivering

'Tis...

Languishing inside a cell(his demons) so fierce
                    and punishing; isolating loneliness pierce

As I face the shore, I gaze upon
                A half-buried orange sun 
             That illuminates the horizon

God made all things beautiful* in His time
Such is clear in the Scriptures with truth’s chime.

Special children are beautiful indeed
Freely spirited of pure gladness-seed.

Though diagnosed with cerebral palsy
They’re gently upheld by the Lord’s mercy.

Facing developmental challenges
They exude God’s love in their growth’s changes. 

Their quirks...

Autumn Colors

           Deciduous trees shed withered leaves.

Truth could not be eclipsed,
And you said it was a joke.

There was a mystical feeling,
Behind your saying that you 
didn't care.

I could feel obscure pain 
beneath, 
And you said it was alright .

A desire was shrouded,
Once you said I should leave 
you alone.

An Imperceivable feeling...

Presenting to the emergency room, patient "BB,"
a dad who swallowed a snow globe carelessly.

Out of ALC, voices crying, "YOLO,"
PO, he took a big gulp of fantasy snow.

NAGI, his stomach churned immediately.
He could hear little elves dancing with a BEG.

Brought to the ER unconscious with HBP,
HAGMA,...

Last night, I dreamed a dream I'd never forget
When my tired eyes sealed shut at the tail-end of dawn 
Morpheus spirited me away to a moonlit Xanadu; a sanctuary
Of beauty and peace. What a dream! It was my safe haven 
For an entire day. I...

Two-hundred dollar hairdo
Cascading off her shoulders
Dressed in a little black dress
And Louboutin stilettos
Leaving behind a trailing cloud
Of extravagant luxurious perfume
Flaunting the tiera of a princess
Strutting down the catwalk of life
Walking five inches off the ground
This svelt slanky body devoid of carbs
Ruby red lipstick over a...

Dawns light slithers in, and it scratches your soul

The days eviceration about to unfold

Your mind all a jumble, your flesh all a quake

And you wonder inside " How much more can I take"

Will you hide behind fortress of opiate walls

Do you muster your strength, do...
