A Hand in the Dark

She walked through nights no one noticed
feet heavy, heart heavier.
The silence of the world felt overwhelming.
as if kindness had disappeared.

Then, without warning
someone reached for her...
steady, warm, unexpected.
The road behind her remained,
but she could finally move forward.

For nights she had slipped alone
masking grief with pale smiles
hiding pieces of herself -
that no stranger would ever see.

Her legs ached,
her body protested
and still she whispered:
this journey is mine alone.

She found a quiet strenght,
somewhere along the way.
As she moved forward,
she held one quiet truth:
even when the night is long,
even in the darkest times...
kindness finds its path.

Little gestures of kindness
can pierce the shadows,
and dawn breaks no matter how long the night.

When she finally stops,
she lifts her face to the sun
and carries one truth:
between falling and standing,
she found him...
and the light he gave her
will walk with her forever.

Distance

Between you and me,
Distance is gravity, 
A Distance makes you moon, 
And me sun, Your beauty,
Is nothing but from a distance,
Life is only the a status of,
Being at distance from  death, 
Things are things from a
Specific distance, 
Love is distance from hate. 
Who made the world 
By the distance, or,
By the God, 
Who made the God?  
By the distance!
Who made distance ?
By the God?

Premium Membersomeone else's eyes

What I need
for here,
acoustically
where?
It echoes
like a flood,
emerging
from the worse....
Truth
is a broth,
no,
its dissimilar
to green trees
and your God.
I failed in this life,
not to their
golden trumpets
those muppets.....
I do not ever
become,
bloody nosed,
at the bullies.

AHAYAH ASHAH AHAYAH

Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh
I am the one
greater than the stars
brighter than the sun

all angels are my subjects
and life my children born
be unconditional love
pride leads to scorn

many I have sent
to the blessed jewel of earth
evil cannot see
what humans are worth

evil cannot see
the beauty of a stream
I made it this way
they cannot dream

turn your imagination towards love and light
and heal humanity and the earths plight

I AM
I AM WHAT I SHALL BE
I KEEP MY PROMISES

Premium Member8 minutes 20 seconds

On average it takes 8 minutes 20 seconds for light to travel between the sun and the earth.

At that very moment they look up into the sky
8 minutes and 20 seconds ago the journey had begun
The ray plays out its tale for all of them

Eyes stung by beads of sweat
The farmer squints into a cloudless sky
He smiles as once more he gazes on rows of sprouting new life

Oakley may dim her vision but she stirs
Beneath her towel sand has moulded to her sun-drenched form
Her fashionable hue is almost complete

He stumbles but struggles once more to his feet
How long has this desert ordeal endured?
The end beckons as searing heat prepares the feast

Shivering through winter in thin clothes and with an empty belly
Shafts of sunlight are rays of hope
A false dawn or a new beginning?

The newborn baby cries for attention
Her rosy skin has yellowed
But soon the status quo will be restored

Five lives touched at the same time
But not in the same way
8 minutes and 20 seconds ago it started again

More than just a soft toy

You were there when the dark
crept loud through the door,
when my tears made small rivers
that stained to your core.
You never once left me,
you never once frowned,
you just held my silence
till sleep came around.

Your fur is all matted,
your seams pulled apart,
but I know every thread
is stitched into my heart.
Others see fabric,
old stuffing, worn eyes
but they don’t see the love
that your silence implies.

I’ve told you my secrets,
the ones I can’t say,
and you guard them so tightly
they won’t slip away.
You’re my courage, my anchor,
my shield, my safe place,
the first thing I reach for
when life feels unsafe.

One day they will tell me,
“You’re older—move on.”
But you’ll never be gone, Bear,
you’ll never be gone.
Even if I outgrow you,
and tuck you away,
you’ll live in the child
who still needs you each day.

So I’ll whisper a promise
to your threadbare old ear:
wherever I wander,
I’ll keep you near.
For you’re more than soft fabric,
more than my toy
you’re the keeper of childhood,
my comfort, my joy

Premium MemberMysteriousness and Sacredness

Mysteriousness and sacredness

Wished words, universes, wanted new lives
Serial lives, never-ending infinity of desire

I need this life, I want this life, in my heart
I want to do it, the mystery, and the real light

The only one, the living sacredness of life
Here is not a tale of the mysterious kind

In the human world, this is just a movie of the fantasy mind
This is the secret of life, just believe me, oh life

I know the truth. I know that. The fantasy is real life
We are just living in our minds. Collectively, this is sick blind

Yes. We are blind. Open your wings, and just fly, and fly
In the space, in the sky, and find your new life in heaven

Heaven is the true world, not just a religious desire
Jesus said, “In my Father’s house are many rooms.”

“This is the reality. All the words are true”, Satan said
Heavens. Universes. And Mysteriousness Sacredness is

The atmospheres of  those planets
This is the reality
Everybody is a saint
If will arrive there

Premium MemberFriendly Pasangers

Friendly passengers

Today, after work, I waited for the train
It was delayed, but later came, full of passengers
I saw there is no space for me. I needed to stay
And waiting for the next train
An indian man called me
“My friend! You have space here! Get on!”
We had a good chat during the trip
This Indian gentleman is filled with goodwill and God’s love
God bless him!

The same thing happened two days ago
But then it was morning, and then I was rushing to work
A friendly Polish guy said, “Come, brother, here is space!”
He was very smily, like Terence Hill
God bless this gentleman also!

Premium Member With A Gentle Hand Poetry Mystic

By Poet "A mother's love is never ending, always with a gentle hand."


With a gentle hand,
our life starts off being held and rocked.
As we grow and learn,
life will grow with us.
With a gentle hand,
we are told no many times.
Sometimes we learn,
sometime we do not learn.
With a gentle hand,
hopefully we get straightened out.
In life one day we will need to take our baby,
with a gentle hand.

Researchers Have Identified The Gene Responsible For Aging

they’ve found it,
the little bastard,
the switch inside us all
that ticks down like a
bomb.

they call it discovery,
a holy grail
in a white lab coat.

the headlines say,
we can stop the body
from rusting,
from falling apart,
from dying.

but don’t get too happy—
it’s not for you,
or me,
or the kid coughing
on a hospital bed,
his mother counting
change in a paper cup
by the soda machine.

the poor won’t see it,
they never do.
the miracle pill,
the nano cure,
the second life—
all locked in a vault
of stock options and patents.

we’ll keep aging
in dirty apartments,
while the rich buy time
like it’s whiskey
at the corner bar.

Premium MemberThe Effrontery in Black

Life is so very important, a potent
inhale and exhale; even in the womb;
and who is he who dares to take life…

Who walked on the Galileean sea?
Whose feet felt the deep’s waters,
but stayed atop the rambunctious waves?
After all, who created the sea and
its boundaries? We say His name,

even when we breathe in and out.
So who dares to take out what He
has created - the effrontery in black.

Blessed are the peacemakers,
the conscientious martyrs -
those who hold up the Word of God,
not the coward’s knife, gun, or hate.

Blood mixed with tears on the cross.
*He was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace
was on Him* - you know His name.

This was peace made between
God and man; peace that riles up
all of hell. Some embrace this peace.

If you remember anyone’s name,
the martyr, likewise, would have
you recall the name of Jesus Christ.
The martyr closed his eyes and
opened them up to the one who gives life.

*from Holy Bible, book of Isaiah chapter 53

Father you been so good to me

Father you been so good to me
You keep me alive every day
And for that I thank you
Also you are the one that gave me
The gift of life
I am living my life every day
To the fullest father
I know that I won't live forever
I will die some day
Also Father I never forget to pray
For you every night
And after I pray you answer my prayer

HERITAGE OF DEFIANCE

To bow my head before oppression
was never written in my genetic code.

To play the slave for a miserable wage,
and pray to the god of those slave-masters
in order to taste the pleasures of prosperity,
is nothing but a nightmare.

If I do not love you,
I will tell you straight in the eyes,
like those independence fighters
born of my genealogical tree.

I hate the hypocrites,
the deceitful, the envious,
the liars, the racists, the traitors,
and those human beings who lie down
beneath the weight of oppression.

I am the expression of a humanity
freed from the burdens
of Western societal conformity.

I despise propriety
when the environment is hostile.

When I suffer,
my demons seize control of the vessel.

I have but one life,
one journey,
one dusk,
before the reaper
comes to harvest my tainted soul.

My allegiance is to Africa,
despite the chaos that has reigned there for centuries.

I will remain bound
to the cradle of humanity
until my final dusk.

Premium MemberTime's Clutter

The shelves are cluttered
Stuff I don’t remember putting there
Wondering when we broke up

I don’t know what it is
Where it came from
What it goes with

Like old pick-up trucks
Parked on unkempt lawns
Loaded with forgotten memories

Old calendars mock the present
Sticky notes limit the future
Emoji’s search or meanings

Is life but a wind chime
Cluttered with silent trinkets
Its whisper an unheard sigh
