Premium Member Steps
Steps *** Remember standing barefoot In a stream or lake or ocean as the current of water ran cool and fast over the ankles? That liquid, which made our planet a home for life, beckoning us and so delightfully. Think of walking in night, without lights, becoming self-contained, losing external references, seeking the moon or some neighbor’s window, alight still...while glancing quickly...

Premium Member The Price of Poetry
no din less more pronounced upon your ear scallions separated blend to meet the stew when hearty hearts drink out the broth of fear and bury those with heavy hearts they knew long mornings sun bestowed upon when laddies grew beneath and lads to lasses onward come to part the laurel wreath Tis hill we fools apart the path will travel hats upon a...

Fascination With Light
Desire glides in on calico wings, a breath of a moth seeking a companionable light, where it hovers, unsure, sullen, shy or demure, in the margins of night, a soft blur. With a frantic dry rattle of alien wings, it rises and thrums one long breathless staccato and flutters and drifts on in dark aimless flight. And yet it returns to the flame, its delight, as long as...

Compulsion
I feel compelled to write again about this girl, ad nausium, as though she will appear because I do. She said “You’ve got to let her go, because her pain will only grow; you’ll reap what you have sown! It’s only selfish,” But I know that behind those words, She thought, “Your children are like swords to me—oh, aren’t I adored? It’s now,...

Premium Member It Grabbed Hold With Teeth
It grabbed hold with teeth Waking me, and dashing me against my own self Skipping the bathroom I ran to the computer Trying to remember some of it Magical words placed by spirit Only half-understood by me. I did not know I was a writer yet. Let alone a poet! Happens more often now That I am willing to accept My own soul truth....

Premium Member Why Do I Write
Why do I write I cannot not write, that is why It is a compulsion I wake up with a poem or a song spitting out of my mouth. I jump out of my bed and hit the computer before the john People in my family know when the keys are clicking, Do not speak to me Do not look at me And...

Premium Member Excessive Compulsion
And her voice is the tingle of upbeat blues, the winsome rap amid my heavy footsteps, past 2 am... She holds my hand as I’d never wake up after twilight, drinking to the end of a broken bottle, How those arms cuddle me like my hair isn't filthy , avoiding normal showers that I can’t...

The Journey From Compulsion
But without your consent I wanted to do nothing, that your good deed might not be by compulsion, as it were, but voluntary. (Philemon 1:14 NKJV) The redemption of God is beyond forgiveness  And insurance against eternal separation From the God who shares His life with the known. Redemption creeps from the changed heart And crawls to capture the swinging...
