Because I don't understand what it was all about
I have been reluctant to pen this verse
Because I don't want anyone to  get hurt
Morning comes and evening...

She met him on the upswing from the abyss of a dismally closed final chapter....

Wonders of this still could be too good to be true
Fluttering in my heart, palpitations go amiss
I yearn for the touch of your skin, and I constantly...

You don’t know how it feels
To be misunderstood and jaded
You won’t ever know till it kills you inside
To you, I speak words of wisdom
And it feels like I’m a million miles away
Just to feel isolated...

Gott, oh mächtig, Trump iz on the warpath again!

Glad for birth write to express views
aware cunning linguists

Amélie Beth Harris -McGeehan

Acknowledgment of birthday gal,
whose invaluable priceless worth
exceeds more'n a bajillion dollars.  

First born of Boyce and Harriet
(both long since deceased,
albeit cremated whereby their ashes
- cremains scattered to the four winds)
in Paterson,...

When the enchanted 
jailors of life, 
siezed my soul 
and those
sepals unfurling
manipulative
manuscripts 
ceased to 
script a twinkle 
above screams, 
I became a 
slave to my 
own silence, 
chained by 
granite wings of 
masked butterflies, 
who...

UNFINISHED BUSINESS
©Alfreda Williamson
July 2, 2004




Outside town boundaries,
bustling, noisy din,
Deeply in the serenity of peace, calm,
the country County,
Around a curve, sharp, blind.

There it leaped out at me.
Suddenly, unexpectedly
Catching me off guard,
Not foresightedly, not scary
Just by way...

Across miles of sea, on a distant shore
People flee, buildings burn, as missiles soar
Hate spews, with evil we cannot ignore
Lives injured and lost, in the cost of war

Our planet is painted with moral stain
Sketching graffiti...

Aren't we always running into a problem we must face each day of our lives? 
Bashing our brain countless times while the damage torques the very fabrics of our minds?
Captured and Controlled by impulsive emotions,

Fallen



Dear Friend

It is always hard, knowing where or how to begin
you are so far away
and words cannot replace your faces
I miss you with these words
they do not replace your talk back
those expression you make when...

and  handled  the weal of engine

Crow's claws carrion campy carping
nsync nocturnal teenage mutant ninja turtles
analogous to scuttling

brandishing sharp small scabbard swords

rotting roadkill repulsively reeking

MUSTANGS

The ground shudders, and shakes,
 Under pounding hooves.
 Echoing against canyon walls.
Fast and furious wild hearts beat,
Keeping equal pace, with the prairies,
 Wide divide.
From within hell's fiery furnace,
Tempered muscle drives motions sinew.
Behold evolution's die hard...

Ida
Pingala
Sushumna
Or nebula 

Cold breath
Hot breath
No breath
Know breath

Three known channels for the flow
One burns, one cools, one is mellow 
All provide a connected glow
In pristine stillness imperceptibly slow

Abandoning focus on technique
Let us take a sneak peek
At...

Poetry reveals, enlightens, consoles
Holding reflecting mirrors up to our souls,
Showing what we might not otherwise see
Suggests how our lives might better be
Poetry instructs, refreshes, and amuses,
Often fascinates; sometimes confuses.

Poetry blends the colors of our experiences
Breaks...

You grab onto your pen like a plug to a socket

Inspiration consumes you and its time to write again.

You possess me with those eyes of pyromania
a tidal wave of temptation thrashing into my need for euphoria
romanticized on appetite for agile reckoning of kiss ravishing, harnessing my hysteria,
plumed with lashes lent from love's wings,...
