Rise Out Of The Ashes


               Filled with apprehension the heart pleaded for sympathy

               Eyes desperately focused beyond normality seeks a sign

               When anguish mount while darkness insists on lingering 

               Do we deserve sheer punishment for misjudging gloom?

               At times love misinterprets emotional ache as an excuse

               Must it lay silently underground until it freezes for good?

               If even just one promise attains autonomy from disarray

               Plant a kiss, a subtle embrace, and rise out of the ashes!

Freedom


A bicycle is freedom 
It's not just wheels and gears
It's more than bottom brackets 
It's more than front and rear 

It's freewheeling down steep hills
No pedals, feet up high
It's becoming young all over again
With hedges zooming by

It's finding winding tracks and lanes
It's getting muddy, wet
It's getting caught out in the rain
A love you dont forget

misjudging potholes in the road
And landing on the side
It's grazing knees and bruises 
An exhilarating ride

It's falling in the Bracken
It's walking flat tyres home
It's fresh air and a peace
It's together or alone 

Im back to being 12 yrs old
Exploring places yet unseen
It's going out for hours
To where I have not been

So look beyond the handlebars 
The sprockets and the chains
This is perfect freedom 
Will make you smile again

So free the bike now from the shed
Clean  rust from off the frame 
Set it free from cobwebs 
You'll never be the same

Premium Member The Color of Love

How to describe the color of love?  Might you frown in surprise if I spoke of brown?  Dull, pockmarked, ocherous brown. 
A tarmac of grain, stained the color of earth, that never saw rain.  
One humble old table, from an oak that would fall.  Who could have known the 
moments recalled?

Just a scarred weathered plank, with a warp in the middle. Blight she would hide with a bright checkered cloth.  Those who would sit, night after night, greeting with eyes, meeting with ears,... filling the gaps with laughter and tears 

Decades were spent, over string beans, and potatoes, bridging the gap of a mid-day mishap, a chat after school, or a new family rule.
Resurrecting a family, at the end of the day, while chomping away on unidentifiable casseroles, that filled the belly, as well as the soul.
Consuming wisdom and  noodles, in the comfort of home. 

Who would have noticed this shabby antique, wearing wax from Crayolas,  white coffee cup rings. Ink spots, and dings. And three winking holes made by father's misdeed! 
(His picture-frame project,  misjudging the nails! Three slender digits pierced in without fail!  Hammered tight, to the top. While mother's shot through the roof! 

Who could have ever guessed that a well-worn, weathered old piece of grainy brown oak could be the glorious color of love?

Premium Member Paper Kingdom

Immigrants why do you come?
Whether you are spiritual or mathematical etc. This is our Karma:

Isacc Newton’s 3rd Law
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction—Sir Isaac Newton
Tact is the art of making a point without making an enemy—Sir Isaac Newton
I can calculate the motion of heavenly bodies but not the madness of people—Sir Isaac Newton


Dangerously nearing a very steep precipice –ran by the shadow in thy kings tarnished soul, he proceeds with his paper kingdom—I Am Anaya

Do not be fooled by the power
of the king, by the shadow he’s enveloped 
Open your eyes to the shadow
He pokes, pricks, and stirs the fear inside
Drowning in remorse, regret, and sorrow till
nothing remains but the hatred
Hatred has the king for his paper kingdom
A tyrant evolves

Fragile like the house of cards
Tis but origami paper
meticulously folded
with patience,
is his castle
Immigrant why do you come?
Immigrant you must have dire reason
You’ll only find division, malice
and disfunction

So many dwell under a rock
blindly leading blind
Toward the precipice
Tis this charade!  The king’s been tricked
As he parades his symbols
Dangerously close to the precipice
How do we choose
Who will vie for king?
Riddled by the law
not founded on solid ground
after all
The two dimensions
The jack-ass consistently
kicks the lion 
discombobulating him

Heretical in families
misjudging the way of the world
Nothing ever resolved
In his paper kingdom
how should society work?
Whose ethical ideas?
Whose ideology? 
Spectrum such as the left, 
the centre or the right
