an explosion of blooms
with spring's arrival

I was appalled, no I was horrified
flipping through
the channels and I do it quickly
I saw the Steve something show on.
I could not understand the speech
of the whites
they obviously suffered from
some type
of congenital birth defects
talking about who has been intimate with who's brother and sister
and any thing else that moved.
Then I saw the audience
the flood of white trash left me
devastated.
And as to whom would condone such
an obvious
Exploitation of such damaged
creatures.
And I realized why the Republicans
would want them all,
to have as many children as possible
without any means to support them.
Should they be paid to be sterilized?
I confess after I
put the Lions and Bears game on
I secretly turned my head and unthinkingly,
I knew that
I would allow them to do it.
And now I have a better understanding of
why the police dislike going to their home's
a number of times each month.
Celebration chaos
Deafens to silence
This heartache
Fallen from my hand
Still holds
Shadows of desired risk
Dance to me
Sky boy in dreams
A pen standing still
Rescued by the movement of my hand
Unable to speak a word
Until the ink flows on paper.
Having no life of its own
As I grasp it to create an everlasting story
Ready to express what I cannot say
Making its mark on the world for eternity.
Expressing my thoughts on paper
Solid metal finding it's voice
Black lava flowing at the speed of light
Coming together to create a symphony.
At last I find true happiness, without saying a word.
Battle field
It's the earthly womb
Poor soldiers
For less fit weapons
Practice solo deaths!

There is much more of love in us.
But we repressed ourselves and
we learned to give little by little ...
We forget other forms of love.
There is so much love repressed in us,
that if it exploded on everyone,
at the same time, all ills
they would disappear from the world ...
All the streets would light up,
alleys, caves, abysses ... everything.
But we do not open the floodgates
of this ocean of love for fear ...
We only care to open
the portals of deception ... because
we are afraid of love, fear
of loving ...!
I felt a small tremble below
And knelt on the floor ‘cuz I know
Something wasn’t right out of class
And a second much bigger blast
Left crumbs of glass from a window
Who is aware I can follow
Into the sun, I mean shadow
A family of grades amass
Breathtaking view
A mushroom cloud did overflow
And blanketed the afterglow
From the effects of the jet gas
That took the freedom to trespass
Instantly my school was bulldozed
Breathtaking view

You are an explosion of roses,
That brightens my soul,
An unexpected scent of lavender,
From times of old.
You’re a Cheshire moon,
With a smile that lights,
You’re a diamond ring,
That sparkles so bright.
You’re faith and charity,
A pristine snow covered slope,
You are pure love,
And always full of hope
You are honey and cinnamon
Fine spices galore,
You’re everything beautiful
That I adore.
You are a rare book
Found money and precious gem,
You’re an old love letter,
Read over and over again and again.
there is an explosion of excitement when you are here
it is so now that i always want to have you near
you bring to my life a joy so seldom and so rare
never have i had someone who was always right there
you are my court jester when my days are sad and bad
you are my glowing smile when life has me a tad bit mad
the comfort that you provide is like a blanket of pure calm
when you express reciprocation, for you i have not a qualm
the simple things and the little things define a mighty you
the feelings you inspire in me uplifts me through and through
there is a tidal wave of ecstasy in the way you present you self's fashion
i really love the way you kiss me with such incomparable passion
i do not have to put on an outrageous anything in order for our love to grow
i do not have to say 'i love you' for any type of repetitive reassurance, the heart and mind of you will always know
A star, so proudly shining in the sky
Bringing out energy into our souls
Shining brilliantly just like some hot coals
One day it breaks free, seeming to imply
Its power is refocused, with a sigh
Across the heavens the star streaks, its goals
Is to reach the water beyond the poles
Thus reaching an end where the star does fly
Streak that is left over when it passes
Almighty in its brightness and beauty
Calmly refreshes the heart, caresses
The brightest spot is the end, shown proudly
An explosion of light so bright it’s seen
For miles, significant in awe and keen
Russell Sivey
Love is elusive...
An explosion lights a place forgotten by the light
dim streaks filter in...
uncovering a treasure long sunk in shadows
The cold is dispatched as the air turns warm
a single flower blooms...
what a beautiful shade of red
I step softly drawn to its crimson glow
feeling of deja vu...
the floor seems to tremble and I seem to fall
Compelled to get up all I can do is stare
a sick chill creeps in...
the light gets brighter my eyes need to adjust
Boom! another explosion...
it all turns to dust
Because if you try and decipher the code, you'll see in my poetry;
If you look, that my love for you will explode, metaphorically!
Release, the stanza's will demand release, and so I open up my heart.
Dreaming dreams, my emotions will only increase, unveiling this poem, like a canvas of art!
Soon you'll discover a lover in me with a continuous burning desire.
And my words in my poetry will have your luscious body on fire!
No need to cool you down, my verbs in my words will be like ice.
Don't despair, in my couplet's you'll rightfully wear your crown, and live with me in Paradise!
Be ready so as I drop my heavenly bomb, be prepared for pure ecstasy.
Even this passionate heat will be like Napalm, hoping to have you next to me!
Envying such an explosion of love, tearing your emotional defenses apart.
So, it's not enough, unless I take your body and mind above, just to win your heart!!!
