Premium Member LISTEN to the Wind

"LISTEN to the Wind as it sparks your imagination giving life to the words you write." By Poet
 
LISTEN to the wind as it softy blows,
so soft it can barely be felt as I write.
As I find gentle words for my pen to write with,
words filled with love and peace for my reader.

LISTEN to the wind as it blows the leaves,
colorful fall leaves dance across the ground.
Now let my words dance in pretty fall colors,
dance across the written page for you to enjoy.  

LISTEN to the wind as it blows in a storm,
winds are picking up with mighty power.
Powerful words can blow in both good and bad,
exciting my many readers saying, wow!

LISTEN to the wind as it blows in words,
windchimes will now start to sing to you and me.
Singing chimes and words can bring love to the air,
for a heavenly choir to sing out loud.

LISTEN to the wind as it sparks my writing,
and imagination giving life to my words,
making my readers celebrate what they have read.


Premium Member His Pen

Psalm 26:2 (KJV) Examine me, O Lord, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.

Yes, Lord – search my heart, search my soul
Show me the way I need to go – abide in my spirit
Shine love from my being – erase all the fear,
Remind me that You’re here, where I can lean on You
So that I never need worry…

Yes, precious Savior – search me and read me
Show me what I’m doing wrong and where I need to change
Remind me that I’m so far from perfect and, with You,
I don’t need to remain in the dark – because of You
Your shining light…

I can feel the joy raining down, silencing the doubt
Reassuring me that, through grace…
Your love will make a way – Your love will teach me to pray
When I don’t know what to say, 
Yes… even when I don’t know what to say…

There are answers to my fears, comforting for my tears
The promise that, like the fire in the wind, Your kindness kindles thanks,
Your beautiful teaches me the way when I can’t even pray,
Your wonderful is as bright as the day when You defeat the enemy
With Your love, Your precious LOVE!

Yes, Lord – search me and know me and flow Your love through me
Silence the demons, the doubts – remind me that, with You, 
There is light that smiles through the clouds, music that never plays out
Because of You, Lord, there is love that never suspects,
Love that lasts through the years, love that is tender and assured
This love, it is Your signature…

You sign my heart with the most beautiful pen – the pen of love
It is the signature of eternity, written on my heart – written in hope
Written in grace, written so that when I pray, I can see YOU
In the spirit of each heart, each faith… everyone who passes over my path,
Even the ones who don’t see the way – because of YOU, 
My precious Savior… there on my soul, written so bold, are the words…

God is LOVE!

Signed from above, so that even the darkest thought
Is illuminated with grace that covers the worst sins,
Grace that reassures me, wherever I’ve been, there is redemption
That is a Savior who makes a way – who abides inside,
Who guides me through this life… with a love that never lies,
A love that lives to protect and prepare…. where He is my eternal, my home –
Forever written in light, reflecting all that is right!

Premium Member My weary fingers cannot move my pen

My weary fingers cannot move my pen,
Memories trapped between now and then, a silent and mute echo.
I write these words to tell our story,
Unfinished songs burning in this journal of time.
Shorelines and sunsets, laughter and hidden pains,
Adorned with your warmth, now they haunt me in this silence.
I torment the present, hoping to find meaning,
To bring me closer to the light or consume my soul in darkness.
Faster, my madness grows, slowly, the steps of time move,
Now I am an obstacle gathering, it's time for the noose to tighten.
Adorned with hope and sunrise, love brings tears in disguise.
The truth is that a star always shines on a radiant night,
Because it needs the dark to show its brilliance.
Unfulfilled commitments, forgotten promises,
I regret our meeting, a beautiful accident,
I remember your words of love and heart,
Rewriting this bitter story for a better beginning, a desired end.
For in this melancholy, I seek a new meaning,
A better ending, where love no longer hurts,
Where memories are a balm, not a ghost of the past.

Pen

"The pen is the tongue of the mind."
                             ~ Horace
"A writer without a pen would be like a duck without water."
                             ~ Donovan
My ink is bleeding today, 
I feel lachrymose, 
I sense my owner's dismay, 
She needs some joy dose;

Her moods often are bizarre, 
Sometimes I can't gauge, 
She hasn't put me down so far, 
Though tears blot the page;

Words of sorrow down she writes, 
And writes and writes on! 
I can't stop her, how she fights! 
She'll write till the dawn! 

Poetry flows from my ink, 
Page after new page, 
Such days, I've no time to think, 
It's her writing rage! 

Sometimes she'll use me to scratch
her head full of thoughts, 
Or like today, I'm no match, 
When she creates lots! 

One thing I will always know, 
Something I'm proud of, 
My ink will forever flow, 
'coz I'm her true love;

In her hands, my ink blood beats, 
She has set me free, 
My whole purpose, she completes, 
Whene'er she holds me.

The Broken Fountain Pen Disaster

The Broken Fountain Pen Disaster


Underfoot the dropped was-so-lost pen breaks snapping its midnight ink artery to spurt explosively out like some imprisoned force nearly dead but up again sucking in saving air and spread on

dispersing into freedom in a fly across the floor the long streaks of such random black  arcs streaking falling  staining the canvas on which our living room is drawn together between a sofa and yellow wing- chair on the gray carpet there will be an awful task to clean this now became a Jackson Pollock’s winking quickly cast so rapidly set.

After the stroke we gape as the room itself clutches a stiller life mood blank in an erased atmosphere forgetting any will to find a contour of drawn new breath or speech only yet 

whispers feel of loss  in a similar kind of dreaded time as when the casket sits  in the room for a wake under mounds of white roses while hinting of prayers and phrases of grief 
by Rilke

until finally someone declares the tragedy Into the past turning to  suggest the use of gold leaf rather than ink on the outlines of the next drawing of the hour as it may proceed.

Premium Member Brothers of the Pen

KP: With embellishment aborted, 
sidewalk and street talk wail from paper. 
Tears vividly seen because cursive one's don't wipe away. 
An intrinsic institution allergic to plagiarized allegiance, 
we're born and bred to bleed blue from womb, and the wound. 
Traits of our soul incarcerated in a pen case 
presenting selfies that speak volume without an impediment. 
Lingual masseuses with mischief marinating, depending on
which taste of epic we prefer. 
We write to pulverize color barriers because underneath the shell
tethered laughter is majority. Lumen repair technicians 
dimming differences, a cultural mend from cultured men
adjoined through their pen.
Siamese artistes with an umbilical transporting manna from our 
third eye to feed the famine.
Brother of mine, break bread with your pen

RL: I too do not wish to embellish
So I place my ear upon the sidewalk of discovery
For I wish to hear the colour of your steps
Our souls are meant to breathe upon paper
The fibres of the papyrus bleed into our convoluted minds 
as we give of our panicked moments
Ours is a calmed darkness
A mimicking hope
Yesterday flows over tomorrowed possibilities
as we attempt to rewrite answers to those questions never asked
Differences float above our commonality
So we choose to dive below the surface
For beneath our papered skin resides the hearts of free men
Paper converted by pen becomes flesh
The bond of brotherhood
Tethered between minds
Transported beyond societies  perceived differences
For we choose to anoint  our spirits in blue ink!

Thanks Keith for joining me in this creative adventure.
It is a pleasure to write with such a talented writer.

Premium Member The Pen -New Version

One puts it between thumb and finger
hold it firmly to strike with ink nib
then ink flows smoothly along
putting on paper all your mind since crib

Whatever thoughts come through you
you’ve got your weapon in your hand
ready to pounce spread around
proving yourself be main brand

Literature is so vast subject on whole
your personal pen seems drop in ocean
especially when you consider all rest
but your contribution can be special potion

This pen seems little in this digital age
so many ways there be to communicate
but it still has it’s uses many by far
being many forces needed penetrate

So make sure give great value to your pen
use it stirring up that gift that’s within you
bring upon this world some poetic gem
pen full of ink prove so much be true

(This is a remake of my first poem on ps entitled 'The Pen', hopefully it shows progress in my literal pen since I first wrote this piece.)

Transcending Time
                                      Or even space
                                    I read your words
                                      I see your face
                                        I see a quill
                                    Within your hand
                                     So many words
                                       I understand
                                     I see the lamp
                                    Beside your bed
                                      And sunlight 
                                  On your gardener
                                           Head 
                                    Gentle and small...
                                      And powerful
                                     Written words
                                          In day
                                         Or night
                                       Emily's Pen
                                              A
                                      Sheer delight
                                     A quiet weaver 
                                      On the loom
                                         Of poetry
                                         In times
                                         Far room
                                  And here you share
                                   You share with me
                                   The glow of sweet
                                          Humility
                                         A private 
                                            Gaze 
                                         Humanity
                                 With Light that filters
                                    Through the pain
                                       I ponder so
                                      Again, again

My Pen

I don't need a poem
When I have to write
When I need a poem
All I have to do is write

My pen is full of words
That swim real deep
They reach the places of the mind
Where emotions dare to speak

If words were meant to shout
I could use an explanation point
But to get someones attention
My words they must annoint

To some this comes real easy
Other have no clue
We have this thing inside of us
This gift with words we use

For some it's inspiration
A feeling we often use
But there are times for accusations
When citizens must accuse

There are times we look around us
And our eyes are struck with awe
The beauty of Gods creation
Eloquent words tell what we saw

But love is the thing
That's been discribed the most
The pen maybe the only friend
To one who's heart is broke

You can love your country
And you can love your god
But it will allways be the little things
That your words will applaud

And if you have the gift
Of making your words rhyme
The world may remember you
Until the end of time

I don't need a poem
All I need is a pen
Put that with some paper
And a time to begin

The Pen

blank stares
streaming tears
the tip of the pen
piercing my skin

Why am I doing this?
I know this is wrong.
I know I'm going to be mad.
I know I'm going to hate what's left.
So why?

I need to feel something
when I can't feel anything.
so the pen
scratches the surface.

heartache
pen goes deeper.
sadness
scratch marks. 
anger
blood.

Why?
Why do I do it?
Why can't I use other methods?
I wrote this poem right?
Why can't I do that?

I need to feel something
I need to feel pain
It's what I deserve
So pen scratches cover my arm

I have to hid them now
hide the evidence
"nothing's wrong"
"I'm okay" "I'm fine"
hide the evidence

I'm not hurting
and no one would care if I was 
so why would I share?

I need to feel something
anything
aren't there other ways 
so why do I choose the pen
time and time again

the pen
the scratches
the blood
the scars
the pen
showing my pain
disappered and covered
by my sleeve
