To Being Waters Of God
Wars evaporate
the lives God gives us to live;
but peace hydrates them:-
It’s time for us to hydrate
and dissolve life’s worldwide wars:-

I want a drunk moon
one entirely at home
in a glass of golden wine.
Let evil be forever sober,
wine hydrates reality,
a dead moon bloom's
in small cups of tipsy poetry.
I want to rest my eyes
in a winding river of moonlight,
let the madmen thunder and rail,
my peace booms above
their loudest shouts.
I used to be a tomcat,
I made love to my animal nature,
I used to spit at the moon,
that grey orb so utterly buried
under trash heaps of saccharine lyrics.
Now I am drunk,
for love drinks me down.
Within the velvet closets
of moonlit nights
love comes to me,
then we drink,
to all the easeful drunks,
here on the rim and lip
of paradise.

Spring
summons
season of
rebirth, where birds
build nests for new-borns.
Nature's palette spreads joy
as bright colours flourish with
buttercups, daffodils, bluebells,
blooming with rows of vibrant tulips.
Golden orb begins to spread its warm rays,
virgin summer roses bloom like rubies.
My inner child smiles at butterflies,
fledglings expand their tiny wings.
Mild rain hydrates perfumed buds.
Rainbow dahlia garnish,
under turquoise skies.
Sweet pea prolongs
around trees,
screening
stalks.
I
shiver
at the loss
of my blossoms
crumbling in Autumn.
Green turns yellow then brown,
as clouds grieve and bleed charcoal.
Auburn leaves decorate soaked paths.
Flock of birds soar to pleasant pastures.
Flashbacks from laid to rest souls resurface.
Winter weaves frozen cobwebs as winds howl.
Dark days, cold nights with nature naked,
sun hides its glow as ground hardens.
Snow kissed evergreen sepals,
covered in pristine white,
appear grand until,
bitter raindrops,
create ice
upon
them.

I am your treasured Water, source of life;
Without me, ecosystems could not be.
My oceans, rivers, streams- are full and rife;
But, uncontrolled- can lead to tragedy.
And, I am Fire, your friend or foe Earth form;
As forests age, I burn and recreate.
My flames can cook your food or keep you warm.
Yet, running free may cause a sorry fate.
We two join up to form a balanced gain-
As basic elements of your grand Earth.
While Water hydrates- Fire's warm comforts reign;
Can intertwine all levels- fault or worth.
Two elements among your Earth's grand scheme;
We, Fire and Water offer ups and downs.
Though torch of flames and rushing waters team-
Our happenstances can bring smiles or frowns.

The blue waters of the North Atlantic,
deceptively calm, are shrouded in mystery
in the deadly Bermuda triangle,
delineated by many as a paranormal swathe,
where series of unexpected events, unexplained,
made many aircraft and ships to strangely disappear.
Despite the belief of manufactured mystery,
the Devil’s triangle attracted many elucidations…
the influence of the lost continent of Atlantis,
the magnetism of submerged Bimini Road formation,
the Gulf stream upwelling the marine gas hydrates,
but as yet no consensus has emerged.
The plausible explanation may well be the linked causal trinity,
synchronizing to define the enigmatic triangle.

Father Of Lies
By: Miracle Man
August 9, 2020
*“The truth shall make you free,”
though happiness may come and go.
Repeating an untruth multiple times,
fools many into believing its so.
Satan always uses deception,
when sowing his seeds of doubt.
He plants in our weakest moments,
and hydrates until they sprout.
The biggest lie Satan ever tells,
is not without reason or rhyme.
He doesn’t tell us that there is no God,
** just that we have plenty of time.
*John 8:32
“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
** Matthew 24

Euphoria exploiting like sunshine
A rainbow starts to occur
Colors happily emerging
Mist soon to expose thyself from a fierce-looking nimbostratus
Welted roses wait patiently for more than a drink and a chance at life
Intoxicating smell of rain arrives
Birds chirping change notes calmly
Mountain peak tops covered in fog
Refreshing aura idles territories
Finally, rain comes one by two
The soil of the earth once again hydrates as the rainbow lingers on to the next euphoria

A Seed Of Hate
Written: by Miracle Man
9-23-2019
Satan hydrates seeds of intense dislike,
until springing forth is a fruit called hate.
God didn’t create all beings to be alike,
so our differences shouldn’t call for debate.
Our schisms, we reflect, in vociferant ways,
and often won’t admit the urgency of fact.
God condemns hate and deserves our praise,
Truth resides in what we say and how we act.

Fake and crooked smiles
Judgement and conditional love all I ever knew
Broken promises and lies what I fed my heart and soul with
Then you came
For the first I found someone real
Someone true and safe to be
Your smile true and warm
Your love sweet and comforting
And in the winds of June,
Your love keeps me warm
In the wars of the world your loyalty protects me
And in starvation and thirst,
Your love feeds and hydrates me -
What a love yours is
Had I known, I would've spared myself for you
Had I known, I would've stayed waiting
For the love I knew robbed and scorned me -
I no longer believed
Loving became a helpless living
Loving became slavery and suicide until your path crossed mine
You are like a Messiah to my heart,
Salvation to my mind
And to my soul you reside poems never spoken
Your love, your smile
All I ever dreamt of but never found
To see you is to believe that dreams and wishes do come true,
Eventually

May showers come and go, not loitering,
not lolling about long, to drench and drown
the seedlings you planted, hoping for rain.
Hand watering hydrates, but not like rain;
It's the slow steady sprinkling that matters,
which no hose spray, can ever duplicate.
The pitter patter of raindrops in May
caresses the leaves with moist love kisses,
leaving droplets sprinkled on dampened leaves,
to soak in, like perfume droplets on skin.
The soil below embraces the rain spots
falling gently in splits and splats in May,
drawing the water below to the roots,
to be absorbed, nourishing the dry plants.
The May rain's gentle and gossamer veil
drops like silken shroud on the garden bed
A loving sustaining warm covering.
A moist blanket to tuck the seedlings in.
Showers in May are Bliss!

HAIKU BLOOMS #1
Sense buzz here
In simple lot;
Cheer lives fine pun
~~~~~~~~~
Life knows the brave
In harsh terrain;
Smiles sculpt sense
~~~~~~~~~
Bamboo leaves sway
Dance with stray breeze;
Wet rain brushes
~~~~~~~~~
Two black birds
Sit and watch;
High wire act
~~~~~~~~~
Brown squirrel
Runs up and down;
Zigzag curious
~~~~~~~~~
Black cumin seeds
Sweet honey surge;
Bitter black cuppa
~~~~~~~~~
Lemony brew
Aqueous spill;
Hydrates well
~~~~~~~~~
Hint of rain
Moist air aglow;
Flash of lightning
~~~~~~~~~
Sleepy moves
Body so weary;
Pre-dawn darkness

New diet plan in simple strokes,
Transcend sugar problem yoke,
Attend to fix the deep choke.
Greet each day with certain poise,
Honeyed black cumin finds choice,
Lemony water speaks voice.
Aqua hydrates morning call,
Sweet-sour with healthy gall,
Bitter espresso plays ball.
A new routine spreads new ease,
Poise sets the tone of new peace,
Heart must manage this disease.
Aware of cares that loiter,
Beware of touchy matters,
Sugar fix needs firm ponder.
There will be time for dreaming.
Note sanguine chimes most telling,
Notice frail mimes now grooving.
Yes a new resolve now sums:
Dare to work happy outcomes,
Frame and live a brand new psalm.
Start with love that remembers,
Have faith to blaze with wonder,
Live hope till dying embers.
Live well each day as joy flows,
Love frees the way as light shows,
Less finds more say as time blows.
I look to me to set free,
All burdensome thoughts I see,
I am simply free to be.

Another day
For self-discovery;
Song bird sings
~~~~~~~~~
Explore the best
In sacred sights;
Mundane world speaks
~~~~~~~~~
One by one
People breeze by;
Silence speaks loud
~~~~~~~~~
Dry goods vendor
Expounds good quality;
I pick my choice
~~~~~~~~~
Lovely damsel strides
Simple harmonic motion;
Some call this sexy
~~~~~~~~~
By this street corner
Busy feet intersect;
Each pounding away
~~~~~~~~~
Newspaper headlines
Ebola and tragedy;
World now waits to see
~~~~~~~~~
Newspaper commentary
That and this and that;
Expert opinion matters
~~~~~~~~~
Morning surprise
Overnight rain hydrates;
Walkways refurbished
~~~~~~~~~
Basketball court
Foreign talents showcase;
Let me show you how
~~~~~~~~~
Morning kung-fu antics
Dance of dazzle here;
Chinese dialect scrambles
~~~~~~~~~
Mainstream conversations
Stocks market permutations;
Sanguine reality chokes
~~~~~~~~~

I see all with you...
I paint my day with your colors
and breathe your fresh air...
I walk to your beat and
you should see the rhythm in my feet...
The heat that keeps me warm,
you're the water that hydrates me
I see a future of pure nurture
and a past that will forever last in our lives till we die
and then the story of all our glory
will be shared and spread
even when were dead

looking on as u prepare to leave
i know u see the doubt flashing in my eyes
i know u love me
but im not always convinced u will come home
looking on as u prepare to leave
hope is for stolen moments
dreams are for healing the heart
and ur words are the sweet water that hydrates this body
looking on as u prepare to leave
u told me i was the most wonderful thing
u said u would take me everywhere with u, in some small way
i am breaking to pieces and going with u in bits
looking on as u prepare to leave
the screen between us is getting thicker
with fewer places that closeness can seep through
but i carry your face in memory, ur heart in my hands
looking on as u prepare to leave
i know this will be the hardest part yet
a test of our will, our trust, commitment and yes, our love
but i will still be looking when u are gone
