The Drowning Darkness
When life goes right
it somehow never fails
that something from the past
tries to return and bite you in the tail.
Try as it may
I stand strong and stay
on the path set before me
and nothing will get in the way.
I've been steadfast on this journey so far.
There is no way I can fall off the radar.
I've lived

Poets:Those Enlightened by God
7/27/2025
Daddy, I wish you’d return from your heavenly home.
And, I’d be your little girl, in brown braids, once again!
I thought by now, I knew it all, but such is not the case!
It seems with the world, I am trying to

An enlightened rose
a thorn on the stem of rose in repose
pricked the finger of her deluded lover
yet with her last breaths she exuded love
mood and mode acceptant free from bondage
resplendent in fragrance of her dying petals
recognising the source as breath of God

Enlightened
I bridged the chasm and entered ambiguous halls
Climbed over barbed fences inside my mind's walls
To glimpse the core of how men and women relate
Among flowering vines behind the garden gate.
Within a flower is both gamete and stigma
As semen to ovary - what an enigma!
Nestled deep in my breast, I hear a

Enlightened
Written By: D. Collins 12/21/23
America, of all countries, should be the ones enlightened.
Back when Viet Cong were bombed, and still came out fighting.
It didn't end there. We bombed Iraq and Afghanistan.
Then, twenty years later ran with our d__ks in our hand.
You can level cities from above, but understand it still breathes.
Imagine three generations

Enlightened By Whispering Angels
Alone, where winds had smoothed the cobblestone,
a young novice sat, solemn and austere,
brooding over mistakes made, seeds past sown.
Entering the abbey; a fate severe,
she wept with sadness when dismay had grown.
Praying, she cried, "In Your Word I abide."
Her soul ached; tears were silently falling.
"Strengthen my faith, Father. Be at my side.
Forgive my despair. This is

Colours swirling ambiguously bound,
Exploring the many that I have found.
Enlightened souls with thoughts of wonder,
Creating new worlds in which to ponder.

Invisably Enlightened Over All
This is really good fun
no one can see me at all
but I can see everyone else
this is astounding, feel so tall
It's amazing what you see
when nobody has eyes upon you
so free to watch on and on
especially to know what to do
Looking now seeing weddings aplenty
love proposes for women love man
as man seeks women for his

Enlightened Vim
the crow is cawing
on the perch of silky morning
dream snaring the sleep
waken stars going to life
light of activeness wins dark
