Guilty Conscious

It's a voice from inside, that hopefully will let you know
Telling you its side, as its weight begins to grow
Over and over its case it keeps debating reminding you of when
And even after finally abating still reminds you now and then

Some have voices that are loud, and some voices are no longer there
Some are tedious and proud and yet others don't really care
But this voice is truly you saying what in reality is fair
And so this voice is true as it is your own essence bare

Advice you should heed or maybe it too will leave
Forget avarice and greed oh how easily they can deceive
So now you face this choice of who you really are
Knowing listening to this voice has always keep you on par

And even now it is speaking to you reminding you of your past
Saying what was really true in a life that has moved so fast
Only having your interest at heart and telling you from day one
Be careful in all that you do for from me you can not run

Walk your own talk
Live as you walk


Dare to be you
In all you do


Bear with each risk
Live each day brisk


Dare to live free
Bear your own spree


Cast your own spell
Word your own tell


Quest for deep sights
Do what feels right


Each day live poise
Dare live your choice


Face thus each fear
Feel your heart cheer


Live good and plain
Love beyond gain


Joy is but grace
That lights your face


Here space and time
Wait your own rhymes


Dare live on par
As you go far


Breathe stillness grand
Be a true friend

Only Seem

Somehow... the world can seem so small at a time
Sometimes... how time can seem so long and slow
Someways... the road can seem so distant and behind
Somedays... a past can seem to keep the future cold

I need to find a way out or do I?
Yet...need I that way out in the first place?
With a lifetime questioning the why
I’m only to feel that a lifetime isn’t enough to chase

There is no end or has to be no end in what we do
We are unknowingly keeping one another alive
We have too much humans to make a small you
And too much humans to make a big jive

To find a way out is to know how in you are
Where rights and wrongs are oddly wrong and right
The world we share will never be on par
Living and growing only where one might

The world can seem so small at a time... somehow
How time can seem so long and slow... sometimes
The road can seem so distant and behind now
A past... our past we can only seem to rely to find

Premium Member My Path

I seek to know
A game that shows


Here in good time
I sync fond chimes


Now in this space
I meet my face


Each moment brings
A touch that springs


I get to see
Truth paint beauty


I let thoughts come
As intent sums


There is a touch
That tells so much


Be still my heart
Watch soul impart


Let mind be clear
Love feels no fear


My path now sites
A poignant write


Wordplay in verse
Thrills wonder's thirst


Love shows the way
To live each day


Keep body fit
To match fond wits


Peace of mind knows
Charm that now glows


I live by grace
A happy face


Blessings rain well
Just where I dwell


I journey far
With love on par


Heed a wise jerk:
I pray and work


Heart words fine play
My quest this day


Seize simple airs
In succinct flair


Joy funds good cheer
As love endears


From dawn till dusk
Love's scented musk

Premium Member Good Wishes

Be daring then to face the truth;
Keep faithful span that frames fine proof.


Be steady now when thing turn bad;
Keep calm somehow and deal with sad.


Be of good cheer when sorrow comes;
Keep faith right here to square harsh sums.


Be of sound mind to handle stress;
Keep poise most kind to clear life's mess.


Be light of heart to bear with pain;
Keep steady art and focus plain.


Be wise of sense to face all storms;
Keep charming tense to dare all forms.


Be who you are to breeze all cares;
Keep joy on par with wear and tear.


Be happy then as seasons change;
Keep up with trends that trade life's range.


Be on your way with heart that knows;
Keep conscious stay on mindful flow.

Pray with fond heart as new year airs,
Reach for grand fest as stillness curls;
Etch a fine start as poise greets flair,
Charm knows clear zest as silence hurls;
Indulge brisk mind warm thoughts that heal,
Odd as due craze both sage and fool;
Urge joy to bind due dance that thrills,
Sense brief dance maze in journey spool.
Make time to laugh as cheer joins wit,
Opt to prompt fun in surge of fate;
Move buzz enough to stuff clear fit,
Ebb and flow pun a succinct date;
Now and here see the journey far,
Touch may well be the quest on par,
Seize the pure spree of a bright star.

Jagged Jaws of Smelted Steel Not the Title:

This poet decided against  
becoming a measly minced meaty morsel

undetected inauspicious augury 
     assigning  adept 
     aqueous ace AOL amphibian, 
     who surreptitiously crept

to the secret crypt (guarded by 
     foo fighters and amazing dragons) 
     said gendarmes did except
special fluid scrip as egress into 
     heavily fortified 
     (with USDA recommended allowance),

thus when the configurative motley crue
including thyself (a bono fied doo
bee brother - long given up for lost, 
     which "FAKE" oracle 

     misinterpreted by a goo goo
doll, and cross dresser named Hugh
played being took a vow el, 
     and hence consonantly knew
    
all along, i dwelt peacefully 
     in a soundcloud loo
immensely spacious with ooh
dills of survival trappings 

     purchased from  Peru
laborers treated by free pact 
     guaranteeing a socially 
     conscious shopper to rue

painstaking indigenous stoop labor, 
     now stamped imprimatur could allow, 
     enable and provide means to shoe
each formerly eczema dappled, 

     cracked bare foot
     ah, a glimmer of hopefulness 
     (upon this crowded house of a planet) view
which youtube snapchat ting 

     reddit as joyous outlook 
     sans linkedin shutterfly, 
     twitter ring tender flickr ring shoots 
     communicated an instagram message 
     of hopefulness kickstarting optimism

versus the initial thread of this poem, 
which to set this got off track
     (hinting at goal to be 
     a paperback book writer wannabe)
rather than ending up as a byte size snack 

     for a limbering beast, into whose tumblr
of one jagged razor sharp teeth 
     like daggers lined up along a rack
     of reinforced steel maw, 

     which bang for the bite did pack
leaves no room for bing a survivor 
     as fierce jaws clamp down 
     worse than getting steam rolled by a mack

truck, but subjected to thee yield, 
     whence thousands of pounds 
     per square inch of pressure  
     on par lambasted from Donald Trump flack.

In no real sense is he alive:
a wind-up toy, personified.
A message bundled with a drive,
he neither eats or can divide.

Two hundred million like himself,
each one distinct, yet all the same.
Possessed of vast genetic wealth,
new life’s potential in this frame.

Like pointing north, returning home,
he has no eyes to guide his flight.
A haploid on a beacon honed,
attractive forces are his sight.

A mitochondr’al battery
will keep him till it runs its course.
For five days, if it matters, he
is driven by an unknown force. 

That is to say, unknown to him:
the enzyme, ABHD2,
creates the urge to swim and swim;
there’s nothing else that he can do.

And swim he does! Five body lengths
traversed before a second’s passed. 
If salmon-sized, this feat of strength
is fourteen miles per hour; that’s fast!

And not just fast, but also far;
a mile or two would be the rule,
approximate, but close, on par,
for swimmers swimming in a pool.

And now we know he does not flail
or thrash about while in the water;
a corkscrew does his path entail,
much like an eel or playful otter.

The journey’s end, target in sight,
the bodies littered all around.
A chemical and wondrous light,
a flash from zinc when they are bound.

It seems two things come with this flash:
the door is closed, he’s merged herein.
He does not care; his merry dash
fulfills the goal: new life begins.

Maze that you find
Mind seeks in kind
Move beyond mind


Yes now you see
Yields that can be
You frame prized tree


Look to the light
Lost in true sight
Line words put right


Offer a sign
Open your mind
Observe true find


Free mindset bold
Fling tale once told
Form helps you hold


Truth wears a smile
True worth now styles
Trust owns the pile


Joy comes to greet
Juice fruits most sweet
Jest finds your feet


One take shows will
Once you know fill
On sea of thrills


Touch a fine core
Thrill floods some more
Taste health that scores


Seize the clear say
Smile at fine play
Stream poise that pays


Work that idea
Word feelings clear
Weave fable dear


Ask to be brave
Apt as a knave
Aim for high wave


Reach for a star
Reap joy on par
Rise where you are


Play in the rain
Prize feisty pains
Pray in words plain


Come to know peace
Charm fields increase
Calm in still ease


Heart speaks in sighs
Hurl treats that ply
Hoist a grand high


In-between shows
Instinct can know
In and out flows


Lift a life here
Love feels things dear
Live happy spheres


Death comes for sure
Do feel thoughts pure
Deed plants the cure
