Premium Member Writing is Lighting
Projects surround me like fences ‘round my head, Telling me to get more done and to follow where I’m led. There’s grass to cut and seeds to sew, People to meet and places to go. A model ship lay waiting for glue and paint While the kitchen faucet has a non-stop leak. I’m too far...

Premium Member yuletide cynicism
If you’re looking for yuletide cynicism here, you’re shopping in the wrong place. This is New York City’s time of year. It’s stood the test of time and it fairly sparkles, proving that the ordinary can be extraordinary. With the right lighting. Lisa’s (parent’s) apartment glitters like our promised heaven on high. When we left at Thanksgiving, Michael (Lisa’s dad) had the...

Glooms of Gloomber Unsettling
She said his grin was as charming as a Shoebill Stock. Warning others of his lack of beauty and handsomeness. His presence caused others to feel spooked and haunted creating a situation hard to ignore and forget. Nearing 3;45 the clouds overtook the sunlight a chilling darkness took it's place. Glooming the edges of daytime a start upon her face. He stood there watching and waiting with no...

Tree Lighting
I joined the crowd last night to watch The local Christmas tree As it officially got lit, A lovely sight to see. Although it’s not my holiday, The festiveness appealed And as the neighbors gathered ‘round, That spirit was revealed. A choir was accompanied By instruments of brass And caroled with enthusiasm No one could surpass. The park was filled with families, Hot chocolate in the air, And in...

Lighting The Fuse
A Poet is not like other writers … all narrative be damned Charging and fusing each word with a spark redundancy to ban Poets and Novelists both drawn to the fire their kindling looks the same The differences clear when striking a match — poetic verse rising in flames (Dreamsleep: January, 2024) ...

Premium Member Lighting of the lamp
Rather than delusion that separates, let’s cultivate the forces that unite, like childlike innocence that celebrates and a pure heart pulsating with delight, suffused in bliss mists by day and by night. To this end, we identify ego as the spoilsport, which we need to let go, enabled upon resting flow of thought, whereupon our love drenched presence aglow, entwined with existence, becomes...

Premium Member Make Believe and Crazy
("Creation Myth 101", 2018, original encaustic) Make Believe and Crazy A world gone mad Upside down, inside out And if you don’t like it You must be a phobe. Gaslighting's nothing new But today it’s all the rage In the name of a new religion Of which thou shall comply. But if you don’t Where does that leave you Old and in the way Or ready...

Premium Member Lighting of the Lamp
Whenever love ebbs Happiness too dies Our soul’s light begs Since it yearns to rise Truly, this age is dark Inner light is veiled We see not our spark Being by fears assailed We yet have a lifeline Within this dark abyss Head and heart align To rekindle God’s bliss...

Premium Member Pain of a Stained Glass Lamp
In a room besotted with lavish grace, An expensive glass lampshade has its place. Its exuberant glow, a soft hug warm, But, somewhat less convincing is its form. For a bruise on the heart, a hidden wound, Belies the way the stained glass is attuned. Lead and glass are immiscible matter. Dull and gray vs bright, color splatter. The lampshade's design is a...

A Stormy Night Dinner
As the dinner hour is approaching Daylight is reproaching Bringing in the darkness of night Lights are all turned on bright House trembles from the power of the wind As the lights are dimmed The mother prepares and cooks They exchange worried looks Possibly the power will soon go out The father quickly looks about For all the supplies they will need Candles, blankets and something...
