The Envelope

I slowly opened the envelope with hesitation. My repeated health test results would either reveal good news or bad news. 

I had been praying, begging, and pleading to God for good news. I promised God that I would change my lifestyle. I promised God that I would become a better person. 

I read the letter,

The Earth from a Distance

The memory hurts but does me no harm.*
If I can get through the day without blame                     
and read some poetry that still aflame 
the mind, then the wry words might hold some charm.

It has no

Death A Warm Envelope

Death, a warm envelope, tender and kind,
Embraces us all, leaves fear behind.
A gentle touch, a soothing call,
Inviting us in, one and all.

The spirit moves on, serene and free,
Joining loved ones in eternity.
A reunion sweet, a bond so pure,
In love's embrace, we find our cure.

No longer apart, no more to miss,
We join the ones we loved

A TANKA PROSE envelope

Slowly,
nostalgia
trickles into
torrents,to flood memory's
canyon

Crystal clear,vision's backward gaze .All future certainty lies in the past, often distant memories linger fleeting and ephmeral is the dream.Yesterday's hero,a today's has-been,all perspective,out of true;twenty,twenty embellishes hind-sight .Experience forgotten wastes away  superficiality now has its day..

on the wind
a bell tolls
memories surface
words unerased-
the image fades

A HAIBUN envelope

BEAUTY a haibun verse envelope

togetherness lives

in the subtle scents of love-

as ego retreats

 

Beauty is something we see with individual eyes,only time can reveal imperfections of conceit.Deep within our soul resides attraction ,waiting,asleep yet longing to be aroused.Our need to be recognised,reciprocate and hold close.A certain something,intercourses between eyes,a novel read by a glance ,might

Envelope Of Promise

It all started from an envelope
An envelope of promise to return.
Everyday a lady loved so dear by a young man
Is waiting for a letter in the mailbox.

Rain or shine, not a week passed
That a letter in an envelope is not delivered.
Until one day and a week passed
And not a single letter was dropped in the

Envelope

"Envelope"

We knew what we were about
when we signed up 
the other side of the mirror
mothers become gods 
for a short while 
and perhaps 
long after

what servant is man 
when he believes 
he’s as big a god
in the realm 
of playing children
lost for a time 
in Bedlam

forgotten

sunk in the idea of building
something better, drunk on 
below

Piercing Peace With Lies

Lies tempt souls to hate and fight peace
Lies corrupt and tensions increase
Lies strike at the heart
To rip lives apart
Tearing at sane minds, piece by piece

Envelope On the Table

Walking thru the door my heart drops,
As I see the envelope on the table.
I call out for my wife all I hear is silence.
Standing all alone tears welling,
Up in my eyes I have never felt pain,
Like this before as if a hot burning,
Poker has been thrust into my heart.
I fall to my knees crying,
Calling her

Sase

Self-Addressed Stamped Envelope

Horrid tin on wet paper. Coastal fragments of an empire twilight. Nonsense to corners in a deck along the warped cabin. Would you be silent for a moment? Afraid it seems, all these foul rodents. Their intrusion delights the pit of my heart. Tricky, a chaotic wide, flying, hammering scent of rubber. I

A Didactic Effort To Mail a Letter

Buy ink which remains indelible on the soul
Lick your stamps as they should never lick themselves
Keep envelopes open to suggestions and to be stretched
Hide them in a dry place or pine desk out of trouble 
Hold pens gently into the wind or corresponding weather
Leave an impression on the world as you write
Use an eraser but

Mirror, My Friend

Mirror, my friend, I ask, if you please.
"Am I kind?  generous?  one who meets needs?"
Why ask?  A stranger's hospitable deeds 
are worth far more than empty vanities.

Humpty Gets Bumped

envelope rhyme

Humpty Dumpty, brave fall guy
attended the King's Christmas ball.
He never guessed his downfall,
empty headed, brain gone awry.

Humpty Dumpty's sneaky try,
bucking the Queen's serving line,
“Expelled! out back, you shall dine!”
close by yon royal pig sty. 

Humpty Dump, give us a clue,
"Why did you behave so rudely?"
Your etiquette, so crudely
like a simple, naïve ingenue.

Humpty Dumpty then

Frail Envelope of Flesh

for the mothers and children of Gaza  

Frail envelope of flesh,
lying cold on the surgeon’s table
with anguished eyes
like your mother’s eyes
and a heartbeat weak, unstable ...

Frail crucible of dust,
brief flower come to this—
your tiny hand
in your mother’s hand
for a last bewildered kiss ...

Brief mayfly of a child,
to live two artless years!
Now your mother’s lips
