Let the sunshine come
And illuminate each life,
With kindness and peace.
I do say "Sorry";
My want of sincerity
Drags me down again.
The days are coming
that will be daunting for all
hopelessness beckons.

When you show them love
then they will know what love is
not only just words.

This world illudes us
Like a mirage enticing;
Still, we cling to it.
Each day is priceless;
We can treasure memories
Of both weal and woe.
There is, there must be
Ample light at the end of
The tiring tunnel.
Love
Love and friendship is,
one soul within two bodies,
hearts that beat as one.
By
Josehf Lloyd Murchison
Mix maroon heart with amber ambition
Silver start swiftly amethyst affliction
How do you heal when you’re blue broken
Create a poetic meal to eat keep hope and
Stir in sandy sonnets from years in the rain
Sprinkle Senryu, haiku despite peach pain
Let cranberry couplets cream morbid thought
Sift soulful sentiment knitted like amber art
Add a dollop of daylight in your wisest words
And mince moonlight sautéed by wing of bird
Knead the dough of poems soul as it forms
Pour in powdered pan man, woman so warm
Bake to taste by lavender lake full of adjectives
You’ll know when it’s done for it’s like magic is
Transforming minds and making designs of brain
That’s how to bake a poem, green grace stay sane
Our ways in the world
can be darker than the night
without right guidance.
_____________
The pedantic words
May seem to you too much wise,
But they're worth nothing.
On the silver screen
where it most likely was seen
a black and white film.
______________
The rainbow appears
sometimes as a light rain falls
by its colors seen.
__________
Full moon is so bright
almost turns night into day
a wonderful sight.
