Long Change of direction Poems

Kate:
Stand tall,
Light - Line falling
The sun is calling
So lets ride the rain and go
Let’s go

Lets ride, Michelle
Lets ride

Michelle:
Kate took control of every trip,
We took,
Buying into non-conformity,
She drove us,
She rode us,
She saved us
And once we were...

Ode to Taylor Swift and the Car Park Incident

Today I saw the most ridiculous thing 
Taylor Swift existing backwards from a car park 
So she wouldn’t be seen 
On her un-best side that is
Does she...

 he worked hard and was ever on the go.

 a Squire or Country Gentleman, as you may know.

beheading the manipulating leech causing the eclipse.

Too many changes, differences and loss
Some changes are necessary,
Others don't count the cost
Of change

Change of direction
I am sure I don't know,
This way or that way
Which way should I go

The indecision is driving me mad,
Because some...

Tripping on the waves of fascination,
Could the tail lights of your love be far ahead?
The ripple effects of yesterday, can be felt today.
The balance of separation, not so equal for both.

Evaluating the coverage that you...

Murmurations.
.
As thickening dusk
Subdues the tiring day
Flocks of starlings rest
Trilling and chattering in array
Upon tendril branches of trees
High up in the towering eves
As numbers increase
In readiness
.
Suddenly they alight as one 
The tress now bare as the...

Delay by Him has taken its toll,
Waves of doubt rollover the soul,
Despair extinguished the Spirit,
Wax-filled ears would not hear it.

"Listen, you have left My way!
Wait for My providence and pray.
Change of direction is needed."
But His...

GOOD SAMARITAN

I'm a certain man, innocently I journeyed
Stripped and wounded; did no wrong
They had chances to help out yet they neglected
Everyone you meet daily is a neighbour 
Not because they reside next to you
but because...

My mind's run aground
with memories abound
of word-sparring and writing astute
'midst merriment and mirth
my poems were rebirthed
with your help, you of highest repute

Empty each hour
my countenance dour
denied of the presence of you
in sunrays you're basking 
whilst...

I dream of the feeling, of not feeling too much
Being pleasantly mild, unbothered by touch
I imagine, I’m average and pleased to know
Achievements take effort.  I’ll go where I’ll go

As for uncertainty, I’d choose not...

I have an aversion to prejudice
Judging a pond without sampling its ice
Consorting with others eating large melons
Passersby judged as free men or felons

Women condemned as whores or harlots
While tormenting men turn the air scarlet
Then sit...

A man flips the page and glides his hands

And reads the river with a fresh new look
Every fold every crease is...

The Rocking Man

	Three tables away there sat a rocking man.
	He smiled at all and no one,
	Exacting just an occasional worried look.
	Rhythm out of sync with mundane music, 
	Oozing out of hidden speakers.
	Cock-eyed stare through glasses...

purposed to be open to almost anyone
