I hold you in memory,
like a flaming star that etched the night sky,
before vanishing in darkness
Leaving nothing, but a vision burned in the eyes,
long after your passing.
I remember you,
each cold winter night,
when frost clings to my window pane
and a fire crackles in an empty room,
once filled with laughter and dance
Each evening reminds me of you,
when a candle is lit, or a sunset glows red
When the first star appears on the horizon
I think of you
In a summer dress or cotton blouse,
waiting for the first spring butterfly,
to flutter above your open palms in gentle flight
To have loved you,
could anymore be said, or done?
I keep you warm in my heart,
a timeless refuge
I remember you,
when I'm lonely
Yours is the face that guards my heart
Yours is the calming voice inside my head
Yours is the love, I will never know again
She walked into the room without any word, and with familiars eyes staring through her whispering a silent, "Why "?
And then walked past every mirror, hoping her reflection somehow change, become lighter figure.
A little more acceptable to a world that taught to fade when they were born to be seen?
And then she think why did society neglected the darker kids with a fade figure?
Then she stopped and looked at herself.
"I'm beautiful in every way. "
I'm just beautiful in the way I carry myself, ln the way I stand
In the way i represent my self without asking permission to take up space.
Brown skin are natural Tan
Glows with the every kiss the sun leaves upon me.
And my thick hair it is my mink coat, a crown of richness not everyone can afford .
I am the girl
Who learned to love her reflection, the girl who turned her scars into petals _
And the strongest flowers and the ones that“bloom through every season”
I breathe silence in the hush of a lavender sky morning
and in a sweet symphony I hear as dark becomes day.
There’s a melody that delights me as the world grows light,
where once shadows embraced the murk of night.
In these moments of sapid solitude, I find an inner calm
soothing my spirit as the world around me slumbers.
It's as near to any meditative mood that I ever tread
when waking from bed to herald aurora before sunrise.
In the realm of 'just before dawn,' songbirds join in
an avian chorus that I think is meant only for me.
Their trills are like placid waves floating in my mind
that guide my thoughts across eternal ripples of a sea.
You see, I feel as if no one else exists in my castle tower
at the hour I live in these moments of tranquility.
I find silence holds sway to keep woeful worries at bay.
At the window, I notice mundane things here and there...
how the slight breeze makes moss flutter through trees
as if it's weaving its fingers through someone's gray hair.
Often, I try to remember what I should surely write about,
but being afraid I'll miss one minute of nature's dance,
I remain at the window breathing in all the quiet I can hold
with the promise of dawn as the sky is brushed amber gold.
Softly now, light glows in the East in pale shades of blue.
I sigh, knowing the transience of this hushed time will not last
and inhale every bit of stillness I can before it slips away.
In the midst of each early morning hue, I savor every sight.
Each breath I take in that sweet silent hour brings me peace
in the taciturn time when appears in my vision, morn's first light.
The luminous lucent mind of mine longingly mystique,
multi-facetted crystal clear piece of gorgeous gem,
shines sublimely with the perspicuity of thoughts,
glistened by the soul-suffusing sensuous rays,
the innate emanation of efflorescent emotions.
Clear of the cluttering cloud of surreptitious self-qualm,
the diaphanous psyche resolute in the ordained orbit,
stays shining as the stars of clarity shaping the galaxy
by fervent sequins in the transmuted lighted trajectory,
out of the ambiguous depth of my abysmal mental abyss.
The mesmeric meadow clear of complexity shadows,
glows in the petrified instants of condensed clarity,
latticed with the luster of lucid drops of diamond dew,
sparkling with the gorgeous glitter of pristine sunshine,
looks up to the seraphic sky of the untarnished dawn.
The gleaming pearls of ecstasy in the argentine night,
make the gossamer motif of stars in passion perception,
convey in convivial irradiance the unequivocal notion,
everything has a time to come and go,
like the ephemeral instants of effervescent elation.
Walking the desolate life on the still path of onyx wild
I set my eyes on the unmoving pole star.
Its motionless compass takes me to where you are,
I see the argentine starry shine in the iris of your eyes,
glistened by the emanation of efflorescent emotions.
We traverse the lucid trail we’ve built together,
the gleam of transparent twilight freezes on your face.
In the silver stillness of the crystal clear night
the moonbeams fasten our static moments
before they melt away in the immutable time.
I believe I have found Love
Not a romance one longs for
In the setting where the city towers are lit and the skyline glows so profoundly
Where one meets another and the universe's energy flows and the two respond with a spark
No my love is complicated
It may be selfish and pity
For I found Love hidden in a reflection
The same reflection I've witnessed for many years in the rippling waters of the park
I can feel the emotions growing happiness soaring and the colors are bright and beautiful
I believe I have found Love
And as he stares back at me I know he feels it too
Me
I believe I have found Love in me for me
The expansion of emotions overflowing will effect the world
I left that little boy in a locked room with a single light
That boy is me and the me that has now grow into a man
A man who has never strayed from the dignity of the light the love the compassion for all things
But I feel it now were before i felt alone floating in the middle of life's grand ocean
Love is masterful it hides until it's time to expose the beholder to things not yet seen
Yes I'm in love
I love me and what I have become
I love me and the one I've yet to see.
R.K.H
Line of inquiry
“joy, empathy, compassion
on an upward arc
an effervescence eternal
causes bliss ignition to start”
Love warms as a cozy fire,
with dancing flames that mesmerize-
evoking heartfelt thoughts to rise
Love grows as a blooming plant
with stems that reach out to the light-
uplifting all within its sight
Love glows as a sunlit ray
that brightens all touched by its glow-
and fading clouds that hide below
Love swirls as a boundless brook
rolling around each stone and curve-
endlessly on its path to serve
Love soothes gently as rippling waves
that kiss the sand beneath the sun-
sparked by the moon when day is done
Love bathes in hope every day
presents fresh ways for it to dwell-
in soul and heart to heal them well
Love survives the upward climb
to reach that prized spiritual goal-
when paths of soul and heart are whole
Life cements the gift of love
received and shown in many ways-
a gift of God, a gift we praise

There's a star with my name written on it
I wrote it, so that's how I know
Came to me in a dream one starry night
Instant star of night I become.
In filigree lace I adorned myself
Placed a tiara on my head
Then made up my face like a beauty queen
And sprayed silver sheen on my hair.
Ready for action I soared into space
Leaving contrails above earth
You'd never believe the journey I had
Met the moon man,though sad he seemed.
Said he had no beams, that they'd wandered off
I said try borrowing from sun
Next, angels said there's no reason to hark
And only had harps without strings.
I reached my star, on it my name I wrote
Though tough as the star was aflame
The journey back home was not all that bad
Though I landed down with a smack.
Then I woke up, with my heart full of pride
That my name was now on a star
Anyone can do it, nothing to it
Make your mind up, follow your dream.

There's a star with my name on it
I know for ‘twas me that wrote it
In a dream I flew high and far
With my name on it, there’s a star.
I was dressed in filigree lace
A sparkly tiara in place
Never felt so good or blessed
In filigree lace, I was dressed.
Rapid I rose up high in sky
Alike a bird, found I could fly
Passed by the moon, how his face glows
Up high in sky, rapid I rose.
When I reached sun, much later on
So very hot, soon I was gone
Sun said we could’ve had fun
Much later on, when I reached sun.
I reached my star, it wears my name
My one and only claim to fame
See my name wherever you are
It wears my name, I reached my star.
When I awoke I felt vast pride
And a joy that I could not hide
In gold are the letters which I wrote
I felt vast pride, when I awoke.
~Forever till the end of time~
Once upon a time…this day
As sleep negates a dreamless plight
A spell now cast of evil pure
Through bramble thorns of deadly bite
~
For on this ghostly landscape stark
Wicked bending branches spy
A maiden still of forest keep
Beneath a watchful raven’s eye
~
Fruited fears consumed in spite
Poisoned as is lonely hearts
An aftermath of destined love
In shadows deep it now departs
~
Frantic with his feathers full
His tiny heart in worry broke
Horizon’s scanned for any sign
It’s then his squawking voice it spoke
~
“Fight this spoil my precious one
As I shall fly of taken rest
Seeking but the fortune’s fall
Castled deep my storied quest”
~
When in time a prince he shouts
“Beauty slumbers misted floor
Where a kiss upon her lips
Breathes in life to her once more”
~
Upon his steed of christened white
Blazing fast and sure of way
Love shall guide his cherished plea
Never more to run astray
~
When in the fog of deadly deed
Beauty on his eyes does call
Cherished as a whispered wish
Upon his knees in rapid fall
~
Tears do moisten yearning cheeks
A kiss upon her he does place
As lips now part the angered seas
of loveliness his heart does trace
~
An aura glows in golden sheen
As slowly she begins to stir
Her eyes they open and she sees
A prince now looking down on her
~
Then gazes ‘pon a wilting tree
A smile paused, her face does send
A thank you to her raven guard
For in his strength she can depend
~
“Fair maiden, every dawning morn”
The prince he spoke in whispered rhyme
“My soul, your beauty now is born
I’ve come this day to make you mine”
~
The raven winked, then spread his wings
Took to the sky of misted haze
Then sent to her in cackled tone
A farewell in euphoric phrase
~
“When dreams concede to feel his touch
Sweet as any fragrant vine
Now In his arms to spend your life
Forever till the end of time”

Mark 4:12.
View the scene, absorb the signs. Dawn to dusk,
Backs & shoulders strain, the earth grasps stone & weeds. Each has their role to play.
We're weeds in Eden or were they LIFE?
Roughage, medicine, sweet or sour.,
Plough & till the sod, macerate the clods.
Ground prepared, the broadcasting shared,
Seed knows no outcome or reason.
Till unshackled by moisture & time,
Steadily rising up through grit & grime.
Stones or thorns, there's no distraction, Growth unstrained by things manmade.
‘Wired’ to reach heights unseen,
Intent t'ward light, warmth & value. Our ‘Family’s gardeners’, lovingly supporting.
Each outcome's the Heavens do behold.
Speaking savour into opening hearts,
Entwined in company fore-warned. Shadows are cast, by dry walls standing,
Where magnified grace had chose to dwell.
The tares hide till light declared them,
Reaped for use, as fuel & warmth. The son shines, the dark expires, Radiance glows, creation lights up, New life abounds.
God does not blink in his eternal watch,
because time does not come in to it at all!
pure stillness reigns where he is awake,
no breath, no whisper there is nothing at all!
in a turbulent pond- like a lotus calm!
slaves we mortals are to the whip of time,
we measure it all day, measure it all night
by the beat of the heart, rhythm of the breath,
at the birth of a child, to the end of our lives,
by the revolutions of earth, Sunset, Sunrise!
look deep within the calmness of your Soul,
there is a glow of divinity that is real you,
there is stillness within that is stillness of God,
the absolute truth that doesn't change at all,
in a turbulent pond - like a lotus calm!
the absolute truth is not the slave of time,
because it is so still time does not exist at all,
life’s many gains and losses, defeats and pain,
have no longer any meaning in this domain,
in a turbulent pond- like a lotus calm!
align your mind with that divine stillness,
perceive the glowing unending brightness,
cast away the body, surrender your soul,
nothing exists! you are part of absolute truth,
the lotus glows - the pond was a mirage!
