Premium Member Haiku Moment 6

Wet morning
Misty tear-jerker;
Dark skyline contours

~~~~~~~~~


Beyond this bridge
A new town;
People escalate

~~~~~~~~~


Cold and wet
Dreary morning sky;
Rain re-decorates

~~~~~~~~~


Espresso dawn
Tired eyes split open;
Caffeine surge

~~~~~~~~~


Work on words
Verbal collage;
Emergent light

~~~~~~~~~


Poise renders voice
Style happy smile;
Make moments count

~~~~~~~~~


Dreary dream drains
Play puzzle plain;
Grief gathers gain

~~~~~~~~~


Thought greets feeling:
See beyond sight;
Wise words work well

~~~~~~~~~


Feel sure miracle
Live sure purpose;
Glimpse fond sights

~~~~~~~~~


Blast of cold air
Sudden spine shivers;
Rain drenching

~~~~~~~~~


Feel stillness here:
Come to know truth;
Only love endures

~~~~~~~~~

Premium Member Young Men of Wrongful Courage and Conviction

Young men of wrongful courage and conviction,
seem to plague our beloved nation.
Many of them do not successfully complete
their high school education.

Without any proper guidance from Jesus Christ,
They have no inner voice of conviction in
their troubled young lives. They seek the
wrong passage ways. Death and violence
becomes their entire world.

Without any proper sense of what happens
to be right or wrong, most likely they
will decide to become gang members before
very long.  Their families and their communities
sing mournful death's songs.

They arm themselves with knives and guns
along with other methods of massive destruction.
Their imitation into gang life, often involves
the taking of innocent lives.  The streets
of their cities are crimson red with 
human blood.

Revenge  killings of rival gang members
seem to escalate.  Death without any
honor is their ultimate fate.  Decent
society members need to rescue
these young outcasts before it 
becomes much too late.

Bougainvillea

Tall Bougainvillea stops me, to my surprise

The neck and shoulder dancing in the breeze

To cool my head I need some ice

I refrain as frost would rob the look



All my boats rock in the current

Bougainvillea show is overwhelming

It is spring in the veins and arteries

Excited birds are chirping crazily



Aroused flowers escalate heart beats

Velvet tickling swings the  existence

My whole universe belongs to Bougainvillea

Waves rock the firing granules



I look for and find a decrepit house

Bougain follows me with  mesmerizing smile

Flooding my streets and narrow lanes

Seated by its side, I get hypnotized



Now arrives the enormous rush

Magenta, purple, orange and yellow

We combine them to make a bed

Lay on it hope there will be no tomorrow

Premium Member Charlottesville

I saw Nazis march yesterday
upon the streets of Charlottesville.
And, with swastikas on display,
crazed clansmen chanted blood will spill.

I saw Satan grinning with pride
at racial slurs shouted in hate.
And, bigots standing by his side
help the violence escalate.

I saw torches light up the night,
snaking through the black neighborhoods.
And skinheads looking for a fight; 
all that was missing were white hoods.

I saw white supremacists, proud
of drawing blood and spreading fear.
And a car plow into the crowd,
its intentions made all too clear.

I saw President Trump place blame
on both sides for this killing spree.
And, a shocked nation reel in shame
at how prejudiced he could be.

I saw the projected end of
tolerance and democracy.
And, mantras of hate replace love
with smugness and hypocrisy.

At the Horizon

Intimate cushion of your embrace
Eyes open and cocoon was just a farce
Elapsed moment a dream
Present abode like any other place
Absent mortal impression on sheets unwrinkled
Madeup lodging, your absence more pellucid
Arrogance, an escort to rising phoenix
To other's sensitivities, response less jumbled
Swamped in syrup of shattered illusion
Alas, intelligence in shade of celestial govern
Sequences escalate, wisdom unsanctioned
Streamlines quill in a marathon sea of expression
Awaiting the echo of love
One's choice worthy despite your defiance
For even though seems like eons
Still young, vehemence of one's emotions
A taste of air, par horizon

uplift
      my heart
dispel
      distress
cast off
       despair
begone

music tingle
           my spine
emotions
        realign

half dreaming
    ...dulcet
              slow
gently awake
'twixt night
    & reality
still
in no man's 
             land

now engaged
open
     ascending
           higher&
                    higher

spinning

             around

a repeat

continuous
     exhilaration
echos
     on repeat
from

       of sound

strings
    that sing
harmonized
    into one

    breathtakingly
                 fast
dispel
my disquieting

Finally my blood began to coagulate
When you stopped doing what I hate
If not, expect the most unpleasant state
Of things from lightest to highest skate.

You should never ever be late
Whenever you invited me for a date
I’m a girlfriend who’s impatient to wait
My boredom is always at the zenith of rate.

Usual lines played like songs from Kate
On ears of her most devoted suitor, Nate
But, biggest surprise suddenly came in crate
Carried by young men marching from the gate.

Men with all kinds of roses started to sate
Her doubtful heart making his proposal to escalate
A wonderful rite performed by each of his mate
To win successfully a wife, cutting their late dates’ fate.

My Letter To Santa

Dear Santa

You see Santa,
In just a few days it would have been my brother's 30th birthday
Would've been a big celebration 
Instead I will be spending it alone 
Lost in all kinds of thoughts and emotions again 
          angry
       heartbroken
          crying
Missing him even more than you can imagine

You see Santa
I never said goodbye to him that day
I never told him I loved him that day
BECAUSE I WASN'T HOME that day
My guilt still burn it hurts more than ever 
Sometimes I wonder if he was mad I wasn't there
And that escalate to another level of guilt

So Santa
What I'm asking you is 
If you can deliver a message to my brother
Please tell him I wish him 
 "a Heavenly happy 30th birthday"
      And that I love him forever 
I'm sure he's having a big white Heaven's garden birthday party with all the Angels

Tell him I can't wait for when my time is come, we need to have a serious chat about our promises to be the god-parent to each other's kid... what's up with that! 
Well I'm just as happy I can't ever have kids in this physical world without him being the god-father

Santa,
Please bring me back a message from my brother
I need to hear it...

Be Not Affraid

During a cold winters night on a dark and lonely road
When no hope is in sight for there is so much owed 
With the sky now falling but the bottom so near
There is the One who is calling and His voice is so clear

When death has struck and tragedies so soon befall 
With only bad luck it feels like you're losing it all
Everyday being full of dissension now taking it's toll
His Name you only need mention and He will comfort your soul

With the enemy closing in and the battle seemingly lost
Oh my how your sin has come with a terrible cost
Seeming only to escalate as disaster is now so commonplace
This is not the time to wait in asking for God's Saving Grace

With so much now upon you and no where to turn
What are you going to do when will you ever learn
He is drawing you near, Jesus is calling you back
For He holds You so dear wanting to give you all that you lack

His love for you so profound it fills the Heavens with glory
For you He will ground as you read about His story(Bible)
Begin noticing His loving words to you as each day you have grown
And you too will know it's true that we never walk alone
