Premium Member Fancy, Reverie and Whimsy

 
In my dreams, my imagination creates flights of fancy,
reverie and whimsy, out of this world incredible.
Sometimes wonderful but most often nightmarish,
the dreamy fairy-tale holds me prisoner, trapped.
Often I am lost in a lavish forest green.

Searching for an answer to questions of the past,
horrible, hateful, heinous monsters are at each curve.
The path a winding labyrinth of tangled vines,
I rest beside a meandering stream where the sun shines.
A black horse with a bell calls my name.

Upon his back I leave the forest for meadows free,
abloom with flowers rustling in the breeze.
We thunder up a hill until we reach the very top,
and he unfolds majestic wings and we float.

I am drifting now on filigree, white puffy clouds,
gently lulled into a sweet dreamy ethereal world.
Then I am free falling, down and down and down,
screaming for help that never ever comes.

And I open my eyes with a gasping breath.

The 30th Anniversary Of Graduating From High School

I dropped out of high school in August of 1986.
In 1993, that was a mistake that I decided to fix.
I was only fifteen years old when I dropped out.
When I ask people not to make my mistake, there is no doubt.
I studied from April of 1993 to June of 1995 and it was very cool.
I studied for twenty-six months until I graduated from high school.
Some people mistook my diploma for a GED but it's not.
I didn't take the easy way out like those people thought.
I became a high school graduate thirty years ago today.
Don't drop out of school like I did because it's not okay.

(I graduated from high school thirty years ago today on June 21, 1995)

Premium Member Toward Transformation Glow

Being imperfect…
…we err, displeasing our Holy God;
Let’s then confess* our faults---
---accepting His merciful reproofs
toward virtuous transformation-glow. 

As sinful beings…
…we transgress, missing the Lord’s standards;
Let’s now admit our guilt---
---beseeching for His bountiful pardon
with corrective rebukes midst peace-filled bliss.

Still in the flesh…
…we have carnality-struggles, subduing our trust in Christ;
Let’s always yield to Him Whose grace abounds---
---thanking Him for His ready, fortifying aid
for our faith's upholding with servant-heart discipline.

*1John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Premium Member Mingling At the Entr'Acte

The cloud of suspense was becoming compact
The mood was tense to ensure most impact
A baffling mystery had to be cracked
A sordid crime they needed to re-enact   

It was the end of the second act
Moments before the entr’acte 
We stretched went out and snacked
I powdered my nose with my compact
Nodded to each other matter-of-fact   

The plot was convoluted enough to distract
Had everyone admitting massive confusion intact
Was it the lady in red they attacked
Was the weapon found in the house that got ransacked
Was it the business owner’s computer that they hacked
Was the killer the guy with the severe cataract
Was it the butler who decided to counteract
The wildest theories were purely abstract

The play was about to restart and unveil each dirty fact
Time to see who was right ‘cause it was all quite action packed

Premium Member A Bewildering Betrayal

When first I saw her on that day,
   the subtle way she looked at me,
      I felt that we were meant to be.

I thought we’d walk down life’s pathway,
   and tantalize stroll through love’s door;
      we’d take the plunge for evermore.

Our bond forever to portray
   together joined no matter what,
      we’d share together our life, but

I never thought she would betray
   fallacious image of our love, 
      eviscerate bond from above.

But lures of life lead her astray
   down vortex of the dark of night,
      bewilder our love with this blight.

And here behind I sadly stay
   with scarlet visions giving chase,
      as salty tears stream down my face.

When first I saw her on that day
I thought we’d walk down life’s pathway;
our bond forever to portray.
I never thought she would betray,
but lures of life lead her astray,
and here behind I sadly stay.

Premium Member Hope, Not Yet Lost

I stand upon this aging wooden bridge
peering into depths of the swollen stream
a fingerling flowing to waters of the sea
grief is rhythmic like the beat of my heart
tears ebbing in rise with the morning tide
each breath escapes in a murmured sigh

Three months gone by since my love left
bereft am I since there's been no word
no news of his vessel, now long overdue
a great storm cast its eye on his ship's course
If prayers were diamonds I'd have great wealth
currency in which I could never take pleasure

In my worst nightmare he lies tangled in kelp
without help to free him he surely will drown
a torturous fate that nearly drives me insane
Here, on the bridge, amid my sighs and cries
I beg that somehow he finds his way home
escaping the wrath of an unmerciful sea

Day after day, when dawn has barely broken
I stand on the bridge, sealed bottle in my hand
inside is a note in which my sad heart entreats,
"Poseidon, please send my love back to me
before loneliness becomes the cause of my death." 
To the current my plea tossed. Hope, not yet lost

Premium Member Shores of Solitude

Written: June 21, 2023
______________________________________________________________
As an island in isolation, in an oceanic lure
I stand firm, a solitary figure, in this vast azure
Facing the seashore, where waves crash in an uproar
Their mighty roar echoes through my core.

They touch the land with force and might.
Creating a symphony of the seashore's delight
But as quickly as they come, they retreat.
Leaving behind a foamy sheet

Broken dreams are shattered.
Akin to pieces of shattered glass.
The seashore becomes flattered.
For the waves eternal dance

In solitude, I find solace and peace.
As the rhythm of the waves brings me release
I am but a witness to their beauty and grace.
As they rise and fall in this sacred place

The seashore, a sanctuary of dreams untold
Where the ocean's secrets unfold
With every crashing wave, I am reminded
Of the power of nature, undivided

In this moment of sheer grace
I embrace the ebb and flow of this vast space.
For within these shores of solitude
I find my own quietude.

In the midst of chaos and commotion
I find serenity and devotion.

Premium Member GOD IS GREAT

Always, God Almighty is truly great
In His being omnipotent* indeed
Along His deliverance, never late
Doing the impossible to have us freed
His offered salvation is forever
By His grace and mercy as loving giver
Keeping souls redeemed from damnation's pangs
Secured eternally against foes' fangs
Toward abundant life of praise-filled heart...
Worthy is He of thanks right from the start.

*Revelation 19:6 ... Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
