Poetry absorbs the pain
Writing something down
Helps you maintain your sanity
The reflection of a situation will give us the victory
The heart breaks through the misery
While words are cemented in history
Shadows of comfort will sprinkle your face
Blades of power will hold your mouth
Words of silence can’t escape
The thunderous ploy of your heart
Poetry will absorb the pain
Pain paints poetry
You will feed off every abnormality and
Reveal the centrality of all hidden thoughts!
Then after a while, you will smile again
Knowing that your heart bled because
It was a comfort worth exploring
It was an oddity worth refining and above all
It was a love worth mentioning
Poetry absorbs the pain
Hearts that bleed are hearts that feed off the weight of a situation
The sudden shift of emotion clarifies the darkness
The oneness of passion electrifies the soul and
Writing it down helps poetry absorb the pain

Brave and courageous they know the power of love
Hearts that bleed
Live by the creed of love
Giving their all
Knowing that love is like a tidal wave!
Shadows of comfort sprinkle the faces of those in love
Blades of power hold their mouth
Words of silence can’t escape
The thunderous ploy of the heart!
Love is a courageous journey
It starts at forever and ends at never!
Hearts that bleed are hearts that feed off the weight of love
The sudden shift of emotion illuminates the darkness
The singleness of a passion electrifies the soul
But the cold shift of isolation keeps the mission alive!
The heart bleeds
Feeding off every abnormality and
Revealing the centrality of all hidden thoughts!
Love is a comfort worth exploring
Love is an oddity worth refining
Hearts that bleed are hearts that feed off the weight of love

Ties that bind, scars that hurt
Float around in my life
Shadows of isolation sprinkle my face
Blades of power hold my mouth
Words of silence cannot escape
The thunderous ploy of the heart
Ties that bind, scars that hurt remain strong!
Hearts that bleed are hearts that feed off the weight of love
The sudden shift of emotion illuminates the darkness
The singleness of a passion electrifies the soul
Nevertheless, the cold shift of isolation keeps the mission purpose driven!
Ties that bind, scars that hurt remain strong!
I can smile now, knowing my heart is bleeding
Feeding off every abnormality and
Revealing the centrality of all hidden thoughts!
I can smile now, knowing my heart is bleeding
It is a comfort worth exploring; it is an oddity worth refining
It is a love worth mentioning and above all, it is a heart worth bleeding!
Ties that bind, scars that hurt remain strong

I am the Lord
come to dwell
in my sanctuary
a place of holiness
to dwell there
bringing you
a new heart&
a new spirit
creating
a remnant
with hope for the future
in a covenant
of wellbeing&wholeness
an abiding prescence
outflowing blessings
from
the river of life
from
your God
who is just&impartial
know that I am Lord
in the
centrality of worship
all sufficient
complete
Within a wave-particle duality, I create my own immortality,
My heart exists in a centrality where love conquers finality…
In a vinculum vortex viewing lines of symmetry are renewing,
Of light-emitting particles spewing clumping matter is gluing.
Distortions in time advance upon magnetic resonance expanse,
Molecular quantities enhance displaying their galactic dance…
With ambient anomalies abound subatomic atoms surround,
Where echoes of love compound incarnate desires rebound.
Frolicking through time and space of the occupants will displace,
The dawning of the human race competitors in the celestial chase…
Amidst hydrogen atoms colliding where the God particle is hiding,
Where we coexist upon coinciding amongst the divinities dividing.
Inspired by and in dedication to...my dear friend Maria Williams

Cynosure
Umm..cynosure... what does that mean?
Oh yes, I see...something supreme.
Like dignitary, celeb, sight;
a focal point, or nucleus.
A stunner, prodigy, limelight,
a treasure, magnate, omphalos.
A hero, luminary, ace,
centrality, big gun, big name.
A famous person, worthy place,
or major leaguer of some fame.
A star, a personality;
a spotlight, center of it all.
Exemplar and epitome;
an archetype, original.
Top brass, top dog, a spectacle,
a wonderment or quintessence.
An act of God, a miracle;
immortal, beauty, eminence.
Umm...cynosure...now understood.
To me, it means...superbly good.

It is her words at the center of it
I only print this as a tribute to it.
Here is the poem Deborah Guzzi wrote
Here is passion etched
On the edge of a note
Here is the sum of all our knowledge:
"Words are the balm of age
the gift of sage
when all flees and even the white of eye reddens with rheum
words fair words dispell the gloom
when hands are mapped with age and knarled still they transform the page
the eye
the cage
Words flow and mind goes to pristine smiles
and the smooth curves which once were thy
thy cheek
thy neck
thy hip
Deny me anything but the word for its magic will soon
be all that remains of fresh and new."
And here I am poor Sisyphus
With this eternal burden
Only from hell we dream of heaven
(The words of this poem are not mine alone, that of DG is encapsulated in quotation marks,
speaking to their centrality in my admiration).
Christ the center of our Christian joy inspire
Holy understanding of glory from dust to man
Reconsecrate us to your will while dust desire
Immortal tangibilities the finite can understand
Savior what can transcend this purpose willing
Tender expressions of self to give? What peace
Mortal hearts feel in yielding to love's desiring?
Anxious at the table the breast of Eucharist feast
Sleep and dreams delay, to share thy company.
Lord of all goodness in flesh possess they ecstasy
Omnipotent beyond our faults, let tongues unswaddled
Virtue taste, and hands caress gospel's grace ladled
Eternally in the passion of hearts full with thy glory
