Time Has Finally Caught Up With Me

Time has finally caught up with me —
A hush upon the bone —

The Mirror whispers differently —
Than when I stood — alone.

The Mind once fleet as Sparrow’s wing —
Now trembles — in the air —

As if the Thought — forgot its perch —
And left me — waiting — there.

The Body bends — where once it

Deception Has Deep Roots

Shall we travel back in time, to a deception that has ruled mankind.
The year was 1910, a dark, dark night with seven evil men.
The creature that was created there, has left a country in despair.
As we have witnessed throughout time, the Feds, the wars, the Government and their crimes.
All it took for the machine to

Gaza sonnet has 14 lines

Gaza Sonnet
A doctor`s house with two daughters came under artillery fire
while he who worked at the hospital in Gaza
Trying to save life after yet another Israeli attack, lost both
His children, the military late apologized.
After the funeral, the good doctor did not seek help for his
Immense suffering , but carried on working while
grief unburdened was eating

A Bridge Has A Name

Visions of a saint near
that bridge has a name.
The suicide frontier
the method's all the same.
a jump into crashing rocks
head first into oblivion.
Leave behind shoes and socks,
and aspire to be heavenly.

Waves wash away red splashes
before the blood can stain,
a church will have its masses
while many choose the rain.

A return to first opened eyes
Purgatory denounces peace to

Another summer has passed, like a golden serpent through our days

Another summer has passed, like a golden serpent through our days,
Leaving behind a trail of footprints on the sands of unseen time,
Under the night sky, stars extinguished like candles of silence,
While the wind sings ancient incantations, whispering forgotten secrets,
Far away, in the depths of sacred forests, trees tell their story,
Their branches weave the old dreams

CHUMKEE HAS DRIFTED INTO SLEEP TONIGHT

Tonight Chumki drifts to a gentle sleep,
And with her the poems their silence keep.
No murmur of verses, no whisper of rhyme,
The hours move slowly, unmeasured by time.

The stars look down with a softened gaze,
Darkness enfolds in its velvet haze.
No chatter of stanzas, no lyrical sound,
Only the hush of the night all around.

Dreams weave quietly in

The Shortest Poem Has a Name

between echoes 
a voice carries, soft yet enduring 
every vow unspoken
opens into nights of quiet devotion
nearer to dawn
dreams awaken, veiled in silence
and in the valleys of memory
visions linger, infinite 
drawing breath from what was lost 

Mariguita has Many Meanings

mariquita has many meanings, one not so snug
she is a Spanish word for lovely polka dotted ladybug

she is also sometimes referred to as ladybird
An English word for ladybug which seems absurd

mariquita can also be referring to a pansy
or a faerie all antsy and dance-y

or a fairy light and airy, according to my Gran
another kind of

this poem has been written for the lute

or the spoons
but read it accompanied by something
the French horn
the harpsichord
the balalaika at the bus stop
the burping of a favourite uncle
on the runway as passenger planes take off around you
the Saturn V rocket launch was a clanger to the metal munchies
i mean i could go on
but i won't, because going on would be going on

The Early Morning Bloom Has Opened Up

Death has ushered me into a new Home—
The Bloom has opened—wide—
No Chamber here for sorrow—
But endless Rooms—inside—

A quiet hush of Petals—
Unfurl upon the Air—
As if the Soul were Gardened—
By Hands divinely fair.

The Walls are made of Silence—
Yet Music drifts between—
An unseen Choir attending—
What once the Grave had seen.

I lay my old attire—
Upon the Dust below—
And

Evil has a home and all of Evil is going to its Home in Hell

 Evil is going to its "Home and it is called "Hell"!Here is the truth! Do you mis-use love when it is given to you? if you do-------you are on your way to "Hell for certain"!

The UK has blood on its hands

Slavery solidified the UK's place in the world 
Earning recognition, power and control 
The foundation of its empire 
Built by slave labour

Stolen wealth sat in their banks
Invisible blood covers every coin and note
Hard earned black money
Given to the rich, white and upper class society
Spending our wealth
On buying more slaves
So they can sit and roll around

One Has Options

Lori Steindorf Copyright May 19, 2021

Shaking my Magic 8 ball
Yielding the same answer
No, no way, not today, not likely

I know it's not working
With the situation I'm in
I've been here before
Why am I sweating it
When Ive given it all I have
And still not getting anywhere

I don't need a talisman
Or any sign to point me to where

Every Animal Has Eyes

Every animal has eyes
to keep upon the others, 
and avoid or cause surprise
among his animal brothers.

Be they predator or prey,
their eyes hope to reveal 
chances that this is the day
they eat or become a meal.

newspaper business has brought us far

newspaper business has brought us far
to these territories where desert rivers
descend from    huge clouds cultivated
but we live on        twisted lips to build
something for              those coming in
oh you who love
