Joy Poems

It was a beautiful day for a picnic in the park,
We all thought we would stay there until dark.

Just enjoying the peace of a late summer bliss,
Like a departing lover engages you with a kiss!

We lunched on good food, and...Read More

Joy

Joy is a spiritual experience
happy contentment
bliss, delight, jubilation
transports of delight, glee
gratification

Oh, my god, yes I've finally found the one!
I squeeze my arms around him, crying in joy and relief
It's been almost five years since we last spoke.
He laughs and hugs me tightly, a look of contentment on his features, 
And...Read More

Come hither and discard your heavy armor
and cleanse your hands of thine enemies blood
think not of war, or the carnage you reaped
rest your blooded sword outside my door
Come hither by my fire and rest your weary soul
and into the flames...Read More

I’ve never felt this way before.
The joy comes from the depths of my soul.
I don’t know how to explain this feeling.
It’s a feeling that is beyond words of description.

I’ve never imagined so much passion from the heart.
It’s almost like I’ve...Read More

You make me feel like dreams…
Are being brought to life…
Like the moment that we met…
Ended all my worst strife.

You make me feel like true joy…
Has been kindled in my soul,
Bringing about those precious moments…
Reminding me that my heart is in...Read More

Ashes to dust
If you must 
You will only end up in a bust 
You see you proclaimed yourself as a King 
In a place where they did not want to hear such a thing 
Defending from armies they did have
And...Read More

Waking up and shaking up
Running up for the daily dose 
Drying up is every rose
Dying up is every rose
Drugs and thugs ruining lives 
Selling smiles and all knives 
It's not to give you joy 
It's mere a deathful toy 
Waiting...Read More

Dancing in time, bringing in the heartfelt holiday 
Wafts of women in full traditional costume of Puerto Rico
Gyrating in the streets, teasing the crowd with their prowess
From old to young, they make their point in colorful garb.

Boy children and men...Read More

Love needs at least sixty-five thousand words 
Because her feelings go into so many directions
Ending up sometimes in the wrong places,
Turning into another feeling entirely
Jealousy is not love
Control? Certainly not

Love needs to be released from her cave.
She needs to be...Read More

On a balmy evening, I was out enjoying a walk,
Admiring the flowers and scenery on my block;

Moonlight poured, and nobody else was about,
Because I had become restless, I had gone out.

Fireflies were dancing, reminiscently green,
As roses recall to mind the...Read More

Take me away
To the open plains
Where the winds and
Wildflowers play.
Open and free
Just you and me
Feeling the high
Of a strong steady breeze.
Up, up way up high
We fly free like kites
And soar with eagles
Til clouds are nigh.
And when our trip is done
We’ve...Read More

Don’t wanna sit up 
Don’t wanna lie down
Don’t wanna play
Don’t wanna work
Don’t wanna create
Don’t wanna be idle. 

Don’t wanna sing
Don’t wanna dance
Don’t wanna talk
Don’t wanna listen 
Don’t wanna know
Don’t wanna think

Don’t wanna lie
Don’t wanna die
Don’t wanna live
Don’t wanna cry
Don’t want...Read More

"Closer"



Dreamer weaves 
her golden words
like breath brought
her into a new world
each chord held 
she remembers holding 
the constellation
Virgo in her arms 
in time small windows
open midnight blue
glistening jade
they reign over her
a Lion whispering 
the oddest nursery rhymes, 
lullabies she's remembering
over...Read More

Living won’t be yours if you are dead
Sunny days wouldn’t be a blessing to you 
If it is cloudy
Joy wouldn’t be so happy if there is doubt
Seeing won’t be your sight
If it wasn’t for the dark
Walking won’t benefit if
You had...Read More

Sixteen and lonely,
a young bird, 
has gone lame,
from her broken wing,
unable to fly the same.

Happy with, 
the first one,
that shows her,
the attention, 
she desperately needs.

He bounds her wing,
but the little bird,
no longer sings,
her savior,
has turned mean.

She tries to fly away,
but...Read More

In perfect rhythm they coupled softened rhymes

Yet they did not adhere to the script and chapter

This will be over in a flash the onlookers assured

You are lacking staying power and our approval


Self appointed hypocrits

The countryside had slept through a long winters chill
I had waited and searched for the first signs of spring from a hill
Now Spring shows it's first signs under a clear blue sky
a weak yellow sun shines down from on high

Blue morpho sat quietly 
Waiting in silence for the cosmos to begin
She did not have long to wait. 

Crescent moon slid out for a peek
slightly before the light show of the evening
Morpho sat quietly, gazing into the realms of creation

In the intimate interlace of chance and fate, in the ultimate interplay of time and place, and with the consummate checkmate of my human dignity, all that is -- is over, in the stormy, swarming space of mere moments.

Eye for eye; tooth for tooth,
Age old key to old hitch,
Justice’s way; known from youth,
Consciences’ vexing itch.

Few know death’s row bower,
Lowly know its bare scene, 
Some escape through power,
Rich blood trumps poor man genes.

Time goes in ticks and tocks,
Hits midnight...Read More
