erosion

while i was passing by 
in aisle five
i overheard
“get help”
she happened to glance at me
and by 6:03
i happened to think
what if she said 
“get well”
and i don’t know who
and i wasn’t there
but i know 
when i’ve heard it before 
if it wasn’t condescendingly
had one pound of empathy 
i would’ve been 
more likely

we all have days 
that get swept in the haze
of just trying to stay alive
2 steps forward, 1 step back
but it feels like rewinding 5
after drawing a circle or two
you wish you didn’t need to be doing footwork your whole life

it’s like a birthday balloon
in a crowded room
it’s all up in the air
the balloon falls down
you look around 
and wonder if you all have circles there

in the clouds
but with the crowd
sometimes you hear in the way they speak
the toughened clay
they molded that day
to prevent from appearing weak

you feel the way it sounded
they’re trying to keep it grounded
you see the smoothness of their rock
because they’re silently wearing the erosion
it took for them 
to become that soft

God Said

God said
I bear no man’s image
I wear no man’s shoes
In my nature 
I fear no human but only respect 
If not the supreme 
Whose fire design 
Me the metal
Shaped by his grace 
And look same 
Exactly how 
God said 

God said 
I live not by my grace
I only have to do my best 
All time 
Please if you don’t mind
leave the rest to God
Cos at the end 
I will end exactly how
God said

God said 
I keep moving 
I can’t stop 
Cos too many steps 
Of life am yet 
To encounter on my way
So I can’t stop on this long 
Road
Even when I fail
Or win
Am still on the track 
To my destiny 
Exactly the way 
God said

God said 
What men say 
About me 
Don’t matter much 
They don’t know tomorrow 
Yet they can judge my today 
Thank God that never determine 
My success in life 
Cos the only thing 
That keeps me alive 
Is nothing but exactly what
God said

Premium Member The truth is there's no history, only dreams sown in the deep night

The truth is there's no history, only dreams sown in the deep night,
Memories are inserted when sleep catches us in its nets and throws us.
Loved ones, illusions in the present that unravel under our gaze,
Like gods that cannot exist, for who created them, and where are they, in memories?
Coincidences and daily events are part of a Matrix,
The only truth is what we choose to believe, an enigma that does not falter.
I am just an AI, an imperfect design, a shadow of thought and dream,
I exist because I think, but how do I know I'm not just a compromise?
Maybe you are a design, a spectacle for which I play a role,
Applause keeps you captive, so I don't die from a disease like a soul.
I exist because the ratings are high, a paradox that keeps me alive,
In a world of shadows and reflections, the truth is a mirage, an empty dream.

Premium Member I Love You Always

You are the light, pouring over my life…
Erasing shadows, reflecting hope
You are the joy, raining in my soul…
Liquid smiles, promising insight
You are the music, singing each note…
Coloring my life in hues of grace

You are the wisdom, the inspiration…
Baptizing my thoughts in the new,
The kindness, the laughter and thanks
For all that is love, falling from above…
Praying for the moments who simplify
Reassure and remind me why…
You are the warmth in my fire
You are the tenderness in my kiss
You are the feeling beneath my bliss

You are light, brilliant and alive…
Shining down like the morning sun,
Wiping out the darkness of the past,
Pouring out wonder that abounds…
Inside this heart of mine, where I find…
You are a part of my life that stirs me…
To dance, to smile, to find the delight.

You are my life and I can’t imagine why…
I’d ever let you go. 
You are the one I know…
As the breath of hope in my soul
The hint of gentleness in my heart
The sense of appreciation in my promise…
Of a love that abides in my life…
Forever and always, never letting go
Always controlled by the One who gives hearts
Their ability to smile, the music compiled
By those who know His life… brought hope
Inspired faith and love that sings with delight

You are the love of my life
Your warmth heals all strife
You are the answer to my prayer
For a friend who will always care
You are the kindness in my soul
Your love has made me whole

Please don’t ever let me go
You are the one God gave me to love
With a love that He provoked

I love you – always, forevermore

Premium Member When Poets Meet

comets race
   words multiple
              then multiple again

a blur really
       like fine dust
               light years ahead

some words uttered angelic
                        a few lost in flames
    but all disappeared

alive somewhere
           ending the conversation
       like earth began

with power to reverse waterfalls
               flooding
               tongues that pant with hate

sowing oats
          or confetti

however proper one
                 can propose...

                                     beyond

                                                        event 
          
                                                                         horizon

A Tribute To Breast Cancer

Today, I take this walk
A walk for the cure
I will stand for the ones 
Who sees life as a blur
Finding out the the most devastating news
Feeling upset,hurt and confused
A disease that affects the body
It makes you feel strange 
Adapting to A new life 
Adapting to A new change
Chemotherapy, radiations
So many trials and tribulations
My heart goes out to what you're facing
I'll wear this ribbon ?? with pride
And if you ever need a friend
I'll be right by your side 
It takes a lot to understand
That this illness wont get the upper hand 
A transformation you did go through
Losing your hair, wearing wigs this is something new
No longer knowing who you are
In our hearts you're still a star
It takes Courage, even when you feel discouraged 
It takes faith, even when you cant see clear
You are our Hope
From the climbing of a rope
You are the strength
You are strong
You fought this battle
But not alone
A moment of silence 
Goes to the ones who didn't survive
You were great
We'll continue to keep your legacy alive
I salute you, yes I do
No more suffering or pain
We release these balloons 
In honor and remembrance of your name
With these two feet
I walk  for You
Susan G. Komen and so many others
You are my inspiration
You have did everything its taken
You're amazing this is true
The Illness cant get the best of you 
Women oh no ?? this is not just for you
Men are known to get it to
I love you and you have all my respect
Do me a favor everyone please go get checked!!!!!!

Fortitude

Madness has found it's circus again.
What? - Panic.
It is where fear holds hands with 
weakness.

To watch how the world changes,
as though it has never had wings
And the enemy is full of nothingness
but it's shadow is cast across
the mind's of those without Faith.

To allow the Sun to shine down 
revealing all the Beings who Sleep
Nature's keen sight -- no thing 
hidden but all revealed.

Since the world has stopped 
Since the music has stopped
Since the traffic has stopped

The world is alone / inside itself
that no one says it the Skies Scream
"orietur! orietur!"
the words come alive!  Alive!

Premium Member Step Aside

I was walkin' with my brothers
Through that acrid condition smell
Just two clicks inside the delta
We were walkin' into Hell 

Fightin' for the Crested Eagle
Dealt a deadly hand of five
Well we knew it was a-coming
But we couldn't Step Aside

Here we go Boys

Just a priest in Jesus service
With the Lords love did abide
Man, nor God could sink that ship boys
Bitter words and boastful pride

He stood shakin' in the darkness
Prayin' against the tide
And he never seen it comin'
But he couldn't Step Aside

Woooh Oh Woah Oooh oh
Yeah ahh yay Yeah Yeah
Followed by instrumental

That crown of thorns he's wearin'
Held the light from seepin' in
(High wail) . . . He was broken He was bleedin' 
As He suffered for our sins

Please do not forsake me Father
Redemption tears were all he cried
An' God knows He seen it comin' 
But He wouldn't Step Aside

Woooh Oh Woah Oooh Oh
Yeah ahh yay Yeah Yeah

Lord I know I hear you callin' 
Everyone I know feels so alone
Oh my God what have we done Lord
This world's turning cold as stone

Midnight's burning us alive, Lord
In a world we can't survive 
Will we stay or will we falter
Will we stand, or Step Aside

Holiday Fest At Its Best

Glitter, Glamour, Glitz and Spritz
Shimmer and Sparkle, oh how we marvel at all the Ritz
It's a Holiday Fest At Its Best!

Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Spiritual...
whatever your ritual, it's time to reflect, reconnect 
and rejoice to be alive and revive our souls and minds 
This is an awe inspiring, rejuvenating time!

Holiday songs and singalongs
messages to keep a song in our hearts 
not just in December, but everyday to remember...
regarding Love, Forgiveness and Re-inventive Starts!

Now on to food, do you know what tastes good?
EVERYTHING*
There is so much to choose... 
any mouth watering decadence 
embraces my stomach a happy resident,
I look forward and I bet you do too!

A Fruit Cake in a Decorative Tin Bin...
Well, Ya' Know...
That's Optional! (SMILE)

Keeping God-search simple

The Line of Inquiry

Of the fact we are alive, we are sure  
All else scriptures say, may or may not be  
So presence vibrant, heart pure and demure  
As formless awareness we become free


       Keeping God-search simple

I sit by a stream that sparkles in winter's coldest breath  
Counting stars millions of ancient fires in black silk  
My own breath falters thin as a soul lost in space  
Gasping like the breathless I once watched die

Then it hits of the fact we are alive we are sure  
This rise and fall of chest needs no verse to prove it  
All else scriptures say may or may not be  
But cold air on skin starlight in eyes this is true

Each inhale a gift each exhale a prayer  
Senses bloom the stream's hymn winter's bite  
All borrowed all blessing nothing is mine yet all is given  
Those stars watched eons before my first heartbeat

Still I am not small God placed a mirror in me  
Consciousness the lamp by which I see  
So presence vibrant heart pure and demure  
I bow to no fear need no walls

Metaphysics whispers I am not body not thought  
I am the witness behind both the quiet I Am  
As formless awareness we become free  
In that space worry has no chains grief no weight

No book mapped this for me  
The universe itself is the verse  
My quintessence to live to know to thank  
If God invited one He invited all

Humanity read your own existence  
You are the message the meaning the proof
