Inward Poems - Poems about Inward

The gate opens inward

Ghostly fear forms, a dark gossamer web,
caged my consciousness once cradled by bliss
but try as I might, my pain did not ebb,
hurtling me down a bottomless abyss.

Feeling grief-stricken, situation grave,
my weary, groaning soul godforsaken,
searched for heaven’s gate, so that God may save
me from dark despair that left mind shaken.

Trauma bonding with fear no more, I

Echo's Spiral Inward

An echo is felt, touched, recalled,
it drums against our hearts,
strikes softly upon the ringing
shell of being.

An echo hammers upon an open door,
it is unconcerned with any closeted desires,
it is not ours to interpret.

Echo's image comes to us
wrapped within a blossoming,
an ever-opening vowel of vocalic enticement.

Lily-padding slippers tread lightly
yet step loudly upon the mind.

I welcome all

To Me

To Me

to me your love looks inward
you only serve yourself
from where I sit, no one else is included
even I am left out
why did we marry

The door opens inward

“We can ascend, if we so choose
Making love and light, our heart’s muse”
      ~ quote by poet


Holy Spirit works upon feeble form,
without employing any use of force,
thus progress is faster, if we conform.

Soul turns inward when heart’s filled with remorse,
disillusioned with the world external,
living internally, changing life’s course.

The fire of

The world keeps turning

I've heard the beginning and end of many stories told
I've seen life's flame flicker out both young and old
But the world keeps turning 
I've  had love conquer and condemn us vay 
I've seen trenches dug and filled with dreams of the day
But the world keeps turning 
Nobody wants to be truly free
Nobody wishes a

Inward

Diving into the quiet, I find myself
Standing still for just a moment
Open to all possibilities, dreams and hope
I never knew they were there

Possibilities exist for us all
We are unsure where to look 
When you find it, you will know
There was always this place for us 

Dreams belong to you and me
Yet we can follow ones

The Inward Artist

A washed-out skyscape
where mountains climb,
only to be ripped apart
by small gusts of wayward winds.

Is it that my eye is gray, or is the day
waiting to be colored?
Sky high hues
are contained in small paint pots.

Our inner artist
is looking upon its featureless soul.

That unseen picture
needs us to complete the rainbows,
fill-in the vivid and half-hidden,
to add color to

A Look Inward At Darkness In the Mortal Soul

A Look Inward At Darkness In The Mortal Soul

Strange now rests overburdened seas and hapless stars
Undiscovered jungle villages that think all earth is flat
Those that slow walk total blindness but never drank in bars
And in the tepid night, those that never hit when at bat
Yet Nature marches without clock or a smidgeon of guilt
It far

The Inward Kind

beauty,
not the cherished gift
fated to be ravaged
by father time,
but the enduring kind
the naked eyes cannot see.
the beauty that resides
deep within the crevasse
of the soul
and shines out
like rays of the sun,
exploding like a supernova,
now and then;
that's the kind of beauty
that age can never diminish.
inward beauty 
matters infinitely more
for it is so true, and lives on
beyond
the span

Inward and Outward Beauty

If a man is blessed with outward beauty but lacks the beauty of the soul 
Never he, true happiness would find!

However,

If a man lacks outward beauty but is blessed with the fairness of the soul
Never he, unhappiness would know!

Calling Inward

The years forever lost to time
but each moment is perpetual
Dreams packed and stored in the instant
of the wills inception

Centuries of regret erased
in the flash of a second baptism
Stillness calling us inward
—eternally reborn

(The New Room: June, 2022)

Branching Inward

The bark of my knowing
is rotting away
With grain left exposing
what memory betrays
Those things I pushed outward
 root deeply within
As the oldest of wood
—makes the best violin

(Dreamsleep: December, 2021)

Looking Inward

Looking inward more often lately
Is it a sign of age now that I'm over eighty
Dwelling on my life
Devoid of strive
Hope my departure won't be too hasty
