Pressures And Troubles - The Free Verse Style
~Pressures And Troubles ~
(Free Verse )
~O~
Pressures and troubles build up and there you go
And keeping that smiling face is really very hard
That's when things have a way to add up and just go wrong
And then sometimes, nothing seems to go our way and nice as planned.

As the years, months, weeks,

Fantasy?!
Looking back through a sea of doubts,
Wave after wave of choices,
some of which I would have been better off without.
Regrets like drops of rain in an ocean of reality.
If only one by one, with all the hurt and pain,
could disappear into its deepest depths.
Oh! Silly me to ever believe in

Soul Song
Lost pieces of my soul
flow downstream, on rivers
where I once swam
amid the pearls of peace
bleeding from shadows
carved into the stones,
hallucinations swelling
on the sandcastle shores,
where I resort to paddling
like a dog swimming upstream,
singing of mysteries
who live amid the silent trees
listen to the gurgle of the waters,
melting into yesterday
with smooth, still colors
bruising the sinuous glow
of an afterthought,

THE ULTIMATE NATURE OF WAR
THE ULTIMATE NATURE OF WAR
Sown love reaps world peace,
While sown hate will reap world war:
Power its sower:-
Sharers of love will sow peace:
Profiteers of war, sow hate:-
World peace uprooted,
War’s deforestation plows
World devastation:-
Armageddon coming:
God plowing us a new day:-
Be ever mindful,
War is a power monger’s
Child of destruction;
And will be chastised by God:
Its navel giver uprooted:-

Lost and Broken
When all around sharp scattered fragments
of broken dreams bloodied my soul
and pierced every thought that dared
to take a step YOU lifted me.
When burdened by an unrelenting weight
of cold and ice and snow, I bent,
until my crown was buried,
frozen in the wood.
Sounds of snapping, crashing limbs
shattered on the crust and slid
against my brow

In His Presence
There is a feeling, yet not a feeling
it’s more of a sense, sensitivity
to the touch, the joy, the love that flows
from the One who knows me
as I’ve never been known by anyone
He knows my heart, my soul, my spirit
the fears I’ve felt, the way I’ve met
with darkest days and sunlit praise
the gentling truths, the music

I'm a Puzzle Man
I was a poor boy from New Orleans.
Living in fear.
No one taught me how to steer.
My A.D.H.D made be focus on the fear.
The O.C.D made me re-live all the worst years.
Always told myself I was better ,
I was a knight.
Still being pierced, by all the spears.
Thrown though me.
Always being judged for missing pieces.
Im

Look in the eyes, twinkling light, so alive... caressing the heart, breathing life across the soul, inspiring joy within the one who knows that love comes from above ~ by poet

where He is, just how He stills
my weary heart, my soul’s distress
sometimes, it feels like there is not enough

Let It Be
I gave my heart, it bled so deep,
Tried to hold on, but couldn’t keep,
Nights were cold, tears fell like rain,
Whispered low, let go the pain.
I searched for love, but it slipped free,
Flickers lost where light should be,
Through all the hurt, I learned to see—
Maybe sometimes you just gotta let it be.

Fire
I am a wildfire,
burning alone in the middle of nowhere
I wish I were a meadow
in the middle of somewhere enchanted.
my devotion
was the ocean’s depth
never-ending,
hard to reach,
but not impossible.
I could devour
with love,
with care,
with happiness—
yet some found me unlovable,
hard to cope with,
hard to give up something for.
still,
I held on
to that gust of wind,
my flickering hope
to find someone
worth

Advisory for Adversary
The sun unfolds, precisely peeking through
the light of stars, dominating ink-spilled nights.
Its rays graze softly on blooming wounds
as sirens set off warnings of incoming dunes.
O vulnerable soul! I pray you stay quiet,
hold dearly onto the kaleidoscopic life
slowly flowing out of your diluted sight.
O transient time! I pray you stay still for

Eternal Love or Fleeting Burns?
You say you’ll love her till the day you die
But when she feels unwanted and broken inside
Will you hold her and tell her she’s enough
When she’s tired of pretending to be tough
Will you love her when she’s a mess
Her hair in a bun, her face not at its best
When she is

White
dandelion seeds, blowing across the summer’s silence
rising up, a full moon – glowing with its music, its poetry
singing to the stars with their radiance, sparkling, wistful
while autumn thrives in her clearest skies, with tender clouds
and the winter breathes her music in flakes who create drifts

The Promise and The Silence the Two Parts Of The Story
The Promise
She was silent, calm — never one for lies.
Always believing in true love,
Her idea of love was someone to rely on,
Someone who’d stand by her
Even when their views didn’t align.
Someone who might not always agree,
But for her sake, stood by her side,
Who’d talk through right and wrong,
And calm her fears when nights were long.
She
