Wisdom of Introspection, Above

My daughter wrote a story for her class project.
 It is about an imaginary voyage of a 13-year-old
 with her family from Spain to America, 
 In the year 1673.
 She used an excellent vibe  to bring the effect of
 A handwritten note in a diary. 
 The paper,  soaked in the liquor of tea overnight, 
 looked exactly like an old page from a diary! 
 I was astonished to see the finished product. 
 “Marvelous!” I thought.
 
 The laptop battery died today; I am tapping with 
 Words with the charger connected; It is tied down with its destiny.
 
 There is good news, bad news, many news surfing 
 through the internet.
 The story of one boy, killed 
 As he was a suspect as a terrorist….
 A huge beep on the phone with an amber alert, active right now.
 I am tapping with words with the charger connected.
 Through all these, I need to reach somewhere, badly.
 
 God, please grant me the strength to live for one more day,
 Let me be alone in my bundles of pieces, notes which I love!
 Through my poems of life, I would like to see a brighter day
 Just like a prayer, through the wisdom of introspection, above!


Premium Member Debussy Inspiration

Debussy Inspiration

I advanced from piano player to pianist
When I finally memorized Claire De Lune.
Since then I’ve migrated to a rhythm guitarist,
But I could never escape that flowing tune.

I played Debussy’s song so often without the sheets
That over time it evolved to something else.
A few different notes or off-rhythmic beats;
So that an expert would patently find it false.

I eventually learned to play more difficult songs:
Rachmaninoff’s Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini,
And many of Scott Joplin’s syncopated ragtime songs;
But Debussy’s Claire De Lune still remains a part of me.

Strangers In the Night

Our eyes meet

in purple shadows

close to the sacred shrine

beneath a forest canopy

Footsteps cross the river

on bridges which aren't there

Mist shroud tall pine trees

a grey owl hoots behind

the wooden bench of broken promises

Roses blossom in a hopeful whisper

of a birthing petal without a thorn

The heart beats slowly 

to the last sound of music

Leaves turn yellow in tarnished dreams

And tomorrow?

tomorrow i do not know you

tomorrow we would be strangers

And tomorrow

our dancing memories will all be gone.
                                                   Charma


This isn't a recent poem,It is something i scribbled in notes,and decided to adjust and share  now :)thanks.

Be Brave, Be You

Why does this light inside scare me?
I'll lock it down tight in the hopes to spare me
the separation.
I want to live from a higher vibration,
revelation and wonder,
but fear of isolation drags me under,
steals my thunder and dims the glow.
All this creation and nothing to show.
All those notes played just for the wind,
those shapes that stayed locked in my mind,
those words stuck between pages on bookshelves in sheds
or lost between faces so stuck in my head,
good as dead and going nowhere.
There's magic when you learn how to share,
when you don't care,
lay yourself bare and trust.
Tear down your walls and scream if you must
but scream it true
from the depths of what it means to be you,
step out from the queue and show it.
They can't do what you do and they know it
and they'll stop for a moment without even knowing
why they're touched so much by this love that you're showing.
Growing by giving, living by sharing,
loving by trusting and not caring
what the others may say.
Thoughts of this fade away when you just play
unafraid and unaware
of some deep recognition in their stare
of this shape, hitherto unseen
of a heart now open,
a dream within a dream.

Premium Member The Lullaby of the Crescent Moon

The Lullaby of the Crescent Moon


The crescent moon that dances ‘cross the sky
is shining softly through my window pane,
and smiling gently from his perch on high
while humming tender notes of love’s refrain.

The magic of this bright celestial orb
is tempting passions of this mortal man,
but thoughts of her are harder to absorb
while longing tender touches of her hand.

Alone I’m sitting in my rocking chair 
as darkness fills the corners of my mind;
I’m lost in tender thoughts of one so fair,
and reaching for the dreams I long to find.

I wonder if she’s gazing at this moon,
and if she too can hear his tender tune.

Premium Member Beautiful Springtime -The Trolaan Style

~Beautiful Springtime~
(Trolaan)

Beautiful first spring day
Bountiful sun then may rain
Be happy spring comes after winter gray
Bright sunshine glows like golden grain

Enticing spring is here again at last
Enchanting sights of so much beauty and renewal
Every ray of sun illuminates everything so fast
Entire sky is now so blue like a precious jewel

Now new and wonderful changes after winter and snow
Nurturing beauty of spring is such a sight
Nosegays and roses buds see them all grow
Nice time to relax and enjoy the spring night

On and on my Master has created spring for us all
Orchids,roses,tulips and so many beautiful things to enjoy
Ocean and mountains during spring season stand tall
Outside there's a wonderful weather for all girls and boys.

Swim Deeper

6/27/17

What do all the relics mean?
Was the creation of hell from dreams?
Yes, well it seems
There are far too many expressing jealousies
Therefore manifesting destinies

Those on a power trip
Usually turn sour quick
Once they are exposed as counterfeit
And when you voucher it

I started to swim deeper
Coming face to face with the grim reaper

Feeling like Jason Statham
Causing havoc and mayhem
When **** hits the fan, I don't play and
Am a straight sav (savage) turned into a caveman
All across familiar and strange lands
Regardless of if we do or don't have the same plans

Potholes showing up even after the work from a recent road crew
I eventually broke loose
After arduous training, eating produce
And drinking 100 percent ratio juice
Turned into super saiyan goku

Can never have enough c-notes
On land and near the seacoast
By way of foot, car, train or speedboats

Nothings changed
This world (planet) is something strange

Regardless of if you hear me
Clearly
Everybody has their own theory
And a person that they look(ed) at dearly or sincerely
The trends come and go yearly
And weather occasionally changes fiercely

Don't be such a pain
Especially when you've got so much to gain
Open up your brain
It's not just a game

Always coming in with red eyes
Eleven out of ten times

These fools are actors
Got it twisted and backwards
Because they think they got all the answers

Premium Member Clouds at the Sill (Weekly Poetry Challenge Sept. 7, 2026)

Poet’s notes: this poem was written for this week’s poetry challenge: Write a poem with exactly seven lines.)

water rises in the clear bowl, a small cosmos gathering itself.
bubbles bloom like breath returning to a long-quiet body.
copper and blue tiles hold the warmth of forgotten mornings.
on the sill, bottles keep vigil — lotions, perfumes, small reliquaries of touch.
the faucet’s flow feels ancient, a quiet force older than ache.
the sky beyond the glass window moves in pale currents, clouds drifting close to the sill,  
and I lean into the moment, letting the water’s rise settle something unnamed.

You are

So beautiful to me

In your eyes I see love

Moon, stars, in the warmth of your love

Christmas is approaching 
Us so fast by now 
There's rejoicing more cheer 
Hearts in Christmas glow 

Up so fast by now 
Child Jesus will be born

There's rejoicing more cheer 
For He's the reason
