Drip melted and dripped from the glacier with romp.
Drop wandered and swirled in that stuffy old swamp.
Convection joined them into Dribble during an April shower.
This unexpected entwining endowed them with power.
Encouraged by the nudge and shove of a neighbor,
they entered River with a modicum of labor.
Free flowing they swirled, bubbling, gurgling and scouring.
Eroding bit by bite, delivering the mites for Rivers' devouring.
Agitation enhanced when through rapids they danced.
Excitement enfolded, they tumbled becoming entranced.
When River regained a steady flow and composure,
Dribble relaxed, accepting unmitigated exposure.
Pull drew them relentlessly to the edge of the deep.
For Dribble there was no escape, no sleep,
no compromise, no exception, only River's way,
sucking them over a precipice, in the perpetual splay.
River poured and plummeted for hundreds of feet.
Terminating in a roiling plunge pool of defeat.
The concept of River ended. Chaos now on duty
became King, an eternal roaring stream of beauty.
Dribble had separated back into Drip and Drop.
Apart and lost they persistently did not stop
searching for each other. They became vagabonds, bereft.
Eon superseded eon, adventures came and left.
One lovely day in May, Convection plopped Drop into a lake.
Drip, evaporating on a leaf, fell into that lake by mistake.
They met, reunited, and became Dribble anew, thus continuing our tale with a Deja Vu.
A fictional write of a loveless plight…
Once Upon a Dream
"When you're wishing upon a twinkling star
Gracious fairies gather from realms afar
Sent to mend hearts what’re broken in two
Bringing love of your loved one home to you.”
Once upon a dream a long time ago
You came into my life and charmed it so
Gently kissing my lips, you kissed my heart
Beneath glowing beams of heavenly stars.
Above the rainbow pretty bluebirds flew
In a fantasyland made just for two
A magnetic rapture of sky above
Perfectly enhancing the mood for love.
Beauty of each moment, minute and hour
Unfurled alike an exquisite flower
Till time came and spelt close of our romance
Breaking the spell that made our lives enhanced.
Bittersweet are finely tuned joys and grief
A song in my heart on constant repeat
Rhapsody that brings back both dear and sad
And movie star magic dreams we once had.
If only we could time travel aback
Capitulated to mystic comeback
Reliving memories, heaven blessed
Of golden years that were simply the best.
It's lonesome without you, to proceed on
Days are long from dawn to setting of sun
Yet no one out there my heart would embrace
Not in the universe of outer space.
I view moon and stars through mist of my tears
Wishing us back to future's tranquil sphere
Joyous together in true love light gleam
Our hearts entwined, as once upon a dream.
29th August 2021
Tulips and lilies never emitted their scent
so fragrantly and exhilarating...
by the lake of the descendent moon,that
I intensively sense the affable mystery of the evening!
Remote breezes,unforeseen and redolent,do
capriciuosly caress the brilliant surface
of the silvery lake,softened by a gentle silence;
only those red-throated dives can disarm it in their pursue!
The huge oaks,boasting their tallness,bow
and glance at the narrow paths,below,
verging on the aromatic grass glistening with fireflies...
where bitter-roots and goldenrods are their constant companions!
Someone is sitting by the peaceful waterfront in obeisance...
staring at the North Star: seemingly so reachable,but far;
as he,pleasantly and devotedly,strikes the srings of a guitar
with his invigorating and skillful fingers!
And suddenly everything,hidden by graceful shadows,harmonizes
itself with his melody...beautifully played in enduring patience;
unhesitatingly,he joins the incessant nightgales
to praise the persistent tranquillity enhanced by the Creator's presence!
Listen to the sea's waves:
Stability is unusual, it moves...
Up and down; forth and back,
At its own pace when need be.
See what billowing wind craves,
Eventually excite many like grooves.
It renews at every glance of its attack;
Its dancing hands set rolling... to flea.
Watch the chirping birds out of cage,
See how enhanced the voices echo...
Soothing the ears' warm feelings, gaze
At- in mind to healing pondered sounds.
Laughter don't worry about frowning rage,
Set to take over pleasure in its acapulco,
After mouth spreads to diving joy, lips appraise
Away from the tears...frowning gaze sorrounds.
Appreciate once more, the troubling care,
Love staged and will stage to startle you...
When hopeful darkened cloud appears cold,
And rumbling thunder couldn't set lighting on.
Patiently wait beside the Sun's light's flair,
Wandering around the adventurous moon's view...
To redeem what darkened cloud can't long hold
Before its light glow freely beyond dark's run...
Love comes in all
shapes and sizes – Thank God!
Myself having evolved in some
rather, undesirable directions...
But what is the same anymore?
Environmentalists say, not the sky!
Not the seas! (Seagulls flying off
with bees to who knows where?)
As those wide-open spaces – gone!
Concrete and steel having replaced
colorfully tinted rural faces, with grimacing
gray features – tenements rabid with crime
and moral filth...desperately in need
of far more heavenly graces – or, at the least,
the lofty illusions pearl-necklaced TV Moms
once gave us.
Libraries, the sacred cloisters of
of enchanted places and mystical dreams,
no longer bearing, at the least
informative fruits for deliberative
minds; such institutions polluted
with Liberal Politics, personal greed
coupled with insane hunger for
for power over more docile others,
a hollowing of the human soul
leaving a bitter emptiness
and disconnect where once
thrived the fertile seeds of cooperative
living...
So, what is the new normal?
Hell if I know! Politicians
speaking out of both sides of
elongated, medically enhanced
lying mouths – technically new?
Educators enunciating with their
backsides – but now their pant’s fully down,
Punctuating a Marxist agenda, their
transforming goals openly on display --
perhaps for them, a new honesty?
College students confused as to which
way to turn in bed – enough to confound
the most flexible contortionist….
Thank God for alcohol!
Blips of sunlight on a dappled brick garden path led me to
experiment with a glimpse, and then a peek.
I was immediately mesmerized by the beauty I found inside
The over-sized garden gate which had been left propped open
in the middle of the shadow trees smiled as I gazed.
The old-fashioned brick walkway was crooked in its wisdom.
Covered with bits and tastes of lacy moss, at brick corners.
The path, the fence and the gate enhanced the pinks and oranges of the garden.
Delicate flowers with unknown names rose on my right, smiling.
Being an amazed gazer, I took in my fill, breathing in this beauty.
Shaded overbearing leaves of an explosive curiously protective tree
lent shelter to this gorgeous garden.
I noted a lone pot of powder blue,
hiding in a dark corner, surrounded
by gray shale protectors.
She is not the prettiest pot I have ever seen,
but she delights me with her soft unassuming
sweetness.
The Lies of Divorce
The truth of facts,
lost over time,
by the deceit of repetitive
misstatements...
also known as; lies.
He put me on the ground.
He yelled at me.
Yet, I am the one at fault.
Our daughter believes,
all she was taught,
at the foot and knee of a mirror.
The greater the enhanced
recognition of his implied power,
the overall tolerance
for things spoken incorrectly
at first,
while drifting into
complete darkness at whim.
He took his son's blanket,
in the parking lot and laughed.
He took his crayons,
and threw them into the fire.
Just to watch the colors,
melt and burn together,
while the screams of the innocent,
sang...
The depths of your unconscious actions,
are only ever so much lower,
nearly unmeasured.
Hate was your mantra,
a game played with the lives of our children,
still echoing into their patterns,
set to be changeless.
The truth ever grows in a place,
watered daily, and given prayer.
The form of which takes hope,
to a new realm,
that can not be shattered,
or stolen.
The jig you follow,
up and down, a puppet on a string,
for a darker thing.
I pity your displacement,
of what is important,
to the world...
inclusive of all that has life,
and will continue to breathe.
Let me read this to you...
as I know that will fire the flame.
Let me speak it clearly,
so there is no shame.
I forgive you.
[Verse 1]
Just another sinking tear
In this river full of pain
Racing fast to nowhere
In a world that’s gone insane
Hope hung herself in silence
Before I got to speak
Now I'm haunted by your absence
And promises too weak
[Pre-Chorus]
They say it gets better
But they never knew the fire
That burned us down forever
Left me buried in the mire
[Chorus]
But it’s alright — you’ll never know
I’m living dead, but I don’t show
Empty words and hollow eyes
Behind this smile, I hide my lies
Yeah, behind this smile... I hide my lies
[Verse 2]
Everyone’s got the answer
But none of them are right
The blind lead the broken
Claiming they’ve found light
Love — a cruel illusion
A fool’s delight, they say
Left me cold and naked
In the night that stole the day
[Pre-Chorus]
They offer silver linings
While I’m drowning in the grey
Their voices can’t reach me
In the wreckage where I lay
[Chorus]
But it’s alright — you’ll never know
I’m living dead, but I don’t show
Empty words and hollow eyes
Behind this smile, I hide my lies
Yeah, behind this smile... I hide my lies
[Bridge – Preserved, Enhanced]
Handcuffed by this culture
To a grave of silent screams
Treading water in the shadows
Of once beautiful dreams
Too far gone to rescue
Too lost to even fight
Alone beneath the surface
Under a waterfall of night
[Final Chorus – Lifted Emotionally]
But it’s alright — you’ll never know
I’m living dead, but I don’t show
These haunted eyes still memorize
Every truth I try to disguise
Behind this smile... I hide my lies
Yeah, behind this smile... I hide my lies.
ESCAPE PLAN
the sea, red,
shook.
the Lord’s mighty binoculars
he spies out the escape
(God always has a plan)
the waters tossing and turning
(as if in fitful sleep)
the waters were afraid
knowing the power
of the Almighty
twisting, convulsing
clouds emptied out buckets
the skies like clashing cymbals
angels REsounding, reSOunding, resouNDding
waterfalls and cymbals clashing
(God shows up, shows out BIG)
zigzag of arrows, flashing,
dashing,
back and forth
in power and majesty
like a mighty hunter at his height of attack
thunder and twister enhanced
lightning illuminates its lyrics
the conductor orchestrates
the sides of the earth,
its depths quake,
wiping sleep from its eyes
surmising attack
the soil recognizes its Creator
rises from its knees
vibrates at the sound of His voice
obeys
“Yes, Lord”
trembling in fear
quaking in awe
the Great Shepherd leads His people
through the dry watercourse
(by the hands of Moses and Aaron)
mighty waters cling to the banks
left and right of God’s people
the Lord leads the way
without footprints
(the same One who walks on water)
the Egyptian army cannot see
this Shepherd’s path
a seething grave
baubles of chariots
horses wrestling the strong arm of God
at long last the waters are fed
as the Lord promised

Reference Psalm 77:16-20 (Bible)
A perfume bottle I'll never forget
Stays in my heart, where its forever etched
It was my eldest sister's first romance
That Christmas to me was heaven enhanced.
We watched as her presents became unwrapped
All us sisters hearts were truly enrapt
Each item had a heavenly perfume
The fragrance simply made our young hearts boom.
I found it the best thing I'd ever seen
Lovely as an enchanting movie scene
First thing I bought with my first pay packet
Beauteous perfume, just had to have it.
Our mom let us spend our first wage, so sweet
After that we had to pay for our keep
I'll never forget that scent, didn't cost much
Was start of a love with a magic touch.
