Conceded to what the Doctor said
Said needed to squat over my head
Except for that Gecko
He just heard an echo
Said need to feed your Head more Un-Lead...
Lead...
lead...
leaded!
How does one fill silence, if not with awkward lines
I conjure up an emotion or sing a song
How does one fill silence, if not with awkward lines..
Should I drop a meme , a gif or stickers
How does one fill silence, if not with awkward lines …
Do I send a picture or a trending video or reel
How does one fill silence, if not with awkward lines…
Tell you a story or ring in a favourite memory
How does one fill the silence if not with awkward lines??
Silence is scary like some unknown is calling
Silence can be enlightening but not when I am craving
Wanting to know your thoughts and wonders
So forgive me …Oh and just let me be seen ..
if I do end up filling silence with awkward lines!!
For Valentines Day Senryu Contest
my heart longs for you
words can’t express how I feel~
fill in blank your name
COME FILL ME AGAIN
Touching the heartstrings and well written
A melody so smooth and hardly energetic
For Annie, it was a song of love so poetic
By John Denver, who was clearly smitten
Amidst the snowy Rockies, in monochrome
A name change reflected his favourite state
Fame took a little time, coming not too late
As eventually country roads took him home
Inspiration came while in Aspen, Colorado
That song he became so anxious to record
D suspended fourth, that distinctive chord
Now in death, he is sadly incommunicado
What!!!
Write a MAN-ifesto
Would that not offend
Those writing a WOMAN-ifesto
LOVE can conquer all, they say
EVIL cannot prevail
LIFE is sweet when lived this way
FILL, with wind, the sail
LIFT me from this darkness, the darkness where I drown...
TILL, floating, burdens fall from me, none can weigh down.
LITE and free, oh let it be, where 'ere love can be found.
INTOXICATION
Let me be drunk in the aura of your presence
Let me be intoxicated in the beauty of your holiness
Enchant me Oh Spirit of God
Come enchant me Oh Spirit of Jesus
Let me be drunk… not with wine of this world
But with the Wine of your Spirit
Intoxicated by your presence
Becoming a fire that burns brightly
As I become a change agent to my world
The best friend you can ever imagine
A gist partner that can never be compared
A senior partner that must be acknowledged
The only one who urges me to worship and pray rightly
The shepherd of my soul
My lifeline to heaven
My number one witness bearer
The overseer of the Church
Let me be drunk in the aura of your presence
Sweet Holy Spirit
Intoxicate me with your love, I cant get enough of you
That I might worship with you
That I might commune in your presence
Holy Spirit flow through my soul.
Possible TV advertising for a certain kind of "donation" center…
or for guys who might be looking for "gig" employment…with apologies, dear readers...this one's a bit "naughty".
If your bills are getting to you,
The IRS is trying to screw you,
Jobs are few and far between,
And you need to make some green,
You've already sold your hair,
And you've no more blood to spare,
Come where a wank
Will put cash in the bank.
I filled the pool today
don’t get excited
it’s not Olympic sized
it’s plastic, three foot in circumference
a pool for my dogs
Less than an hour later
I see a bunch of flying things
swarming the water
faeries? bees? wasps?
they are thin and fast
I walk closer
some glide over my head
my dog is fascinated
attempts to catch them
they are too fast for him
dragonflies – dozens of them
a colony of them;
they must have been waiting for me to fill the pool
Fill My Cup
In sorrow You fill my Cup
And it overflows
And in my grief, You come
To comfort me
When I'm down in the valley
You make mountains rise
And in your great love, Oh Lord,
I will abide.
So fill my Cup with sadness, Lord,
Let it overflow
Because You are teaching me
What I need to know
You Fill my heart with laughter
To ease the ache inside
And in your great truth oh Lord
I will abide
Fill my Cup with pain, Lord,
Let the tears fall down
So one day I'll understand
This joy all around
In sorrow I bow
But in joy I'll arise
And in your great mercy, Lord,
I will abide
To know the joy of reaching up so high
First we must walk through the valley
And climb the mountain side
And in our great Lord
We must abide, we must abide.
nor peace that dwell below us
even in the depths of hell
let Satan hoisted
His bright sails of light and darkness
to all the ships that sail
voices sing out towards the dark wine sea
bring forth the ubiquitous blue light
from the melodic swing of the pendulum
while navigating through dark spaces
we need ice water to quench our thirst
without forgiveness to come this far
life in the inferno that burn like the sun
nor peace that dwell below us
shall ask to fill our cups with good
Lord, please fill our hands today
And make us holy unto You
Please take all sin and guilt away
That we might raise clean hands to You
Fill our hands that we might be
Your ministers who spread Your Word
Till all the earth Your reign shall see
Till all have known and all have heard
Fill our hands, that we might spread
The glad, good news of liberty
That You have risen from the dead
To save our souls and set us free
Fill our hands that we might fight
And train our fingers for the war
To stop the wrong, defend the right
Fulfilling what You made us for
Fill our hands with strength, that we
Might heed whate’er You say to do
Equip our hearts that we might be
Your witnesses of what is true
Fill our hands, that we might guard
The covenant we made with You
For Your commands are not too hard
The things we promised, we shall do
Fill our hands that we might be
A temple made of living stone
That in us might Your presence be
Within our hearts, Lord, take Your throne
Fill our hands with Your strong hand
That leads us toward Your mission’s call
That guides us homeward, to Your land
Please consecrate us, Lord of all!
It’s never about
—what it’s really about
(Dreamsleep: October, 2023)
If hate and envy fill up your heart,
Scopions
Can always come
out of your mouths.
Demons
will be filling up your brain.
Your stomach will always
Give daily strange sounds
" Brooor!Brooor!
Proor! Proor!
Fruur! Fruur!
Huur!huur"
And astonish your neighbours
And friends.

Used to think that happiness
Was contingent upon striving
If only we can obtain ______
Then we’ll really start thriving
Leads us to chasing our tail
Continually stuck in high gear
Yet there's a path to clear the air
To make the grasping disappear
Take stock of what we have now
Notice the pieces are already in place
To invite happiness to our doorstep
If we embrace today and end the chase
