My uninvited guest

What if one day the death comes knocking at my door uninvited,
What if it's my last day to see my loved smiling,
What will happen to the list of places I wrote, where I wanted to explore,
What will happen to my bucket list , the long drive midnight,

What will happen to my dreams , the hard

Premium MemberIts Most Artistic Form

A blissful, calm day echoes.
A warmth of a kiss it yields.
Atop trees and fertile fields
As far as the sky meets.

Favor grin honor its joyfulness
Of that felt by summer’s rays
On nature’s medium maze
Of color spray in sway, in gay play.

Keep, long moment narrative open
To the comfort landscape painting.
The finished airbrushed scene, reigning
By the hands and heart

26-8-2025 Rusty Return to Form

I’ve always felt like ‘that boy’, 
The scared little kid, 
Nervous white fingers,
Clutched on his toys. 
All the other kids play together, 
I figured they’d invite me, 
Every kid deserves as much as joy. 
And every time I feel like, 
‘Maybe I’ve grown’, 
Life likes to remind me of humility and death, 
God’s envoys. 

My

Destruction is a form of creation

Some say destruction is a form of creation.
But what did I create while destroying my body?
What was created while I was chipping away at my skin, slice by slice?

It's not until you step back and stop the destruction
that you realize you created resilience.

Even though the destructive thoughts
souround your essence in a thick fog of darkness,
hellbent

Within the Dirt, Stars Form

Dusting the floor,
my broom wrestles
with the cobwebs lingering
from yesterday's sales,
all around the ceramics
the threads poke
in all directions,
I kick the dustpan 
and the dirt crystalizes 
in midair,

for a moment, it was beautiful. 

Sirius, bright as always but
Canopus, closely behind. 

The vacant moment 
stabilizes,
attuning gravity 
for the slightest
second.

The image painted its portrait 
onto the walls just as

Rhyme but no Reason for Treason Silly Season


Damn it the planet’s on fire

Concerning..right down to the wire

Burning on its funeral pyre spire


I’m for turning.. where’s the messiah?

A heavenly choir…so we can aspire

That learning will finally inspire

An endless yearning desire

Of spurning this friendless quagmire


Discerning things are rather dire

Churning of the palaver and ire

Mother nature does surely tire

Should be the crier & trier

Of another

Home

She say she wants to go home with me tonight as we sit by the bus park,
but I tell her we can make home right here in this moments,
haven't you heard heavens rumours that the god of love escaped,
maybe the rumours are true cause you are with him at the moment,
gods create let me create

LOVING YOU IS AN ART

Loving You Is an Art ????

Loving you is an art,
Not just words, not just emotions,
Not just romance.

It is like carving a linocut,
Each stroke, each cut—
Careful, gentle,
So I do not wound the sketch,
The same way I hold your heart,
Responsible not to hurt you.

Loving you is an art,
Like stringing beads with patience.
And when the thread breaks,
And the

Premium MemberWriting Poetry

Poems may be simple, try writing a rhyme,
add some images to make it sublime.
Simple words may make meaningful phrases,
difficult words can turn into mazes.

You could write a Limerick, just for fun, 
don’t forget a surprise before you’re done.
Write a nice Haiku, a scene of nature,
like flowing mountain streams with water pure.

A Sonnet would be nice

A new poetry form mathematically based on pi squared

to which it can be compared
