Bleeding Love

Where roses bloom
  and love is found
there my heart
     is lost
Their musky scent 
       pervades
my open soul
   to heights of joy
and pleasure
          But thorns
    crush
the hands 
that are bitter and
        filled with envy
    anger
and hatred

      Let our love
be like roses
   without thorns
to prick 
          May our scent
spread far and wide
     touching lives
changing hearts
            and blooming
in other souls
      encouraging them
to shine bright
             like the crimson
       of a rose
bleeding true love
   being what it is

Premium Member As Days Grow Short

As days grow short and sunlight fades
Nature’s hues shift from bright to grey
in midst of plague, darkness pervades 
the birds fly south but we must stay.

Together we will make it through
though days grow short and sunlight fades
our faith stands strong, our hearts are true
and so shall break midwinter’s shade.

In blackest hour when doubt invades
despair creeps in and all seems dire 
as nights grow long and sunlight fades
strike flint to light the solstice fire.

All gather round our newfound light
quaff winter ale, sing old ballades
till dawn banishes longest night
as sun grows strong and darkness fades.

For Sr

Splendiferous, once was love;
it’s heights a peak of madness:
A burning need, a flow’ring seed
blooming with passion’s delight.

Differences seem to balance.
Weaknesses offset by strength.
A missing part connects two hearts,
Imperfect, but now complete

Hope and dreams unimagined
take root and begin to grow
with focused beam upon the scene--
a future slowly unfolds.

Day by day the living starts;
small quirks begin to annoy.
Somehow you find, through daily grind,
wide fissures and cracks appear.

First, comes the stiff, cold-shoulder;
then, talking turns to silence.
Throughout the room, pervades a gloom,
the pall of love in death's vice.

‘Til all that’s left is walking
despite certain pain and fear--
a scarred flesh with no hope-chest
to sustain it on the way.

Now prayers of intercession
Erupt from faint heart and lips,
a healing spell, curing the ills:
Holy balm for what afflicts.

One day, Love will stroll back in
to mend emotional wounds;
Transformed by grace, upon the face
of a soul in need of rest.

Hold strong to your faith, my friend
when the darkness overwhelms.
Until such time, you’ll ever find
my friendship is always near.

This is the second poem I've written in this original form of 7-7-8-7 where the third line consists of six words with internal rhyme on words three and six.  Now, I think the form needs a name. Any Ideas?

Premium Member My Divine Perspective

Perspective matters
thus, I must choose 
to be the person I must be...
letting love to reign and prevail 
with joy-wonders that compassion nurtures
breeding well in my heart of kindness ready to care.

Midst mindset of gratitude…
…here am I triumphantly defying chaotic angst
doing my best for peace to prevail blissfully
against conflict while harmony works
for functional togetherness with gracious exuberance.

Joy bursts along my meditation…
…when comfort pervades, smiting bitterness
as forgiveness vanquishes arrogance
letting goodness to grow and flourish freely.

Hope glows, radiating my point of view…
…about the future against ephemeral forever
as optimism thrives to smite skepticism-gloom  
upon blest prayer-strength, faith-filled.

Striving to exude vibrant divinity in my poetic endeavours…
…my spirit finds inspiration from the Lord God, the Source of life*
along His miracles, mercy, might, majesty, marvels
beautifying life yon zestful existence-zest and blest survival.

Psalm 121:7-8 The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.
The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

Flavors

I can smell a sweet aroma coming from the kitchen; the fresh ripe smell of cocoa beans stirring in the pot and Italian caffe latte with, vanilla cream running on the top, the flavors of the earth all combined together, with spices romance and heavenly flavor. 

The ladies dressed in fine kitchen robes, whipped up butter, shortening and oil to make the crispy croissant, I can see them smiling and shaking their shoulders while they gather ingredients to make bagel, donuts and muffing. The smell breaks through the ceiling and pervades the atmosphere and the kitchen lands in the middle of the street. 

They brought out a tray of hot croissant and place it on the counter; French bread rolls, spring rolls and authentic Italian sfogliatelle lined out on the table, I did not know which one to choose from, the presentation was appealing and the smell stirred my appetite and cause the buzzing bees to take its flight. 

I went outdoor and walked towards sea and saw the Japan's ladies dancing on the shore, they had their cook book in their hands, dressed in fine caps and white aprons. The chef stood bravely on the other side with their butcher knife set, looking at chunks of beef and big fish lined out on the table; they are getting ready to start the operation. 

 The scent of salt air tickles my nose and I watched the waves beating on the shore and the motorboats speeding from the depth of the sea carrying an important message for you and me. 

The earth is small when you look from above and the plates that hold it together are shifting but gravity is keeping me firm. I am running a marathon around the sky to absorb the entire flavor before I bid you goodbye. 

The flavors are resting on my shoulders and earth is becoming stronger, this aroma won’t let me go and it will be with me where ever I go. I will hoist it on a pole when I complete the show and it will show you which way to go. Come and embrace my flavor.

Bliss magnetism pervades our feeble form,
enlivening hitherto dormant nodes
and as we're engulfed in this benign storm,
for God’s love our heart, in rapture sings odes.

With no doing to be done, we are still,
delighted as bliss ignition renews,
sipping soma nectar to our heart's fill,
as love teases with its beauteous hues.

Silence enhances bliss beat amplitude,
imbibed eagerly by our vibrant soul,
which by surrendering gains altitude,
suffused with love and light, blissful and whole.

Bliss elixir divine pulsates within ~
Cave of heart is open; plunge in therein

Premium Member - Priceless Jewel Illuminates -

Dazzling starlight smile 
a reason for existence replays 
Exploding breathless within the mind
I am just following the heart 
Holding inside a vision 
One rose warm flickering candle 
Time alone dreams walking along beaches 
looking across oceans 

Silent kiss dew of the night lost at sea
Listening to waves crash as the seagulls cry
to feel the wind  through our hair
capturing currents deeply move 
Wishing to share a good movie scene
especially if the story line's gripping

Enriched with beauty and gentle tranquility
when two souls completely unite hotly
Like a never ending fire through the night
Sparks will ignite a fireworks of loving grace 

A life with love filled hope
Holding hands burning inside chambers warm joy 
To melt freely into arms holding deep beauty shines 
Hold me tightly in your loving strong embrace
never let us part ways ever 

Each passing moon you become a superstar gleam 
A world becomes nothing 
if our dreams whisper away slowly 
As this ocean inside deeply crawls 
looking up with the head inside clouds
 
Destiny howls awaiting fates taste  
sealed with the forever lingering kiss 
Mystically enchanting a princess enters 
through chambers gate a warm welcoming guest 
As passion pervades into the moonlit night
darkness tastes from the light 

Sparkling one golden sunbeam 
a key turns with you 
Growing stronger every waking day 
The future is so brightly lit
an adventure opens scroll 
Unwinding steps forward precious
There will be more moments like this
from the treasure chest of life 
Priceless jewel illuminates

Premium Member I Am

Sensing lack, aliveness remiss
Let's look into this together
Why heart's joy ego does smother

What do we feel, what do we miss
Regrets of past, fear of morrow
This then the cause of our sorrow

In staid silence, nothing’s amiss
Poised in stillness within each storm
Divine magnetism pervades form

As renews bliss, God's sublime kiss 
We feel within, silent thunder
Joy rising from deep down under

Soul exclaims, I Am, I Am this!
Being simply, God's living light
As renews within, bliss delight

Sensing lack, aliveness remiss
What do we feel, what do we miss
In staid silence, nothing’s amiss
As renews bliss, God's sublime kiss 
Soul exclaims, I Am, I Am this!

Premium Member A ''small'' Improvement

Equal pay for all they’ll abort 
It’s the mantra of our Supreme Court
Now some have health care
Marry off any pair 
But keeping us poor is their sport


Author's note: To be fair, the "Affordable Care Act" does (through subsidy) re-distribute some wealth.  That is why certain politicians hate it!  BTW, it's great for the insurance companies and is not the way real health care should be set up.  It is, however, an improvement over what we had before.  In a similar vein, extending rights to gay people (which is a good thing) also may help them economically.  So, a small but important victory has occurred.

n the grand scheme of things, the inequality that pervades our society is getting worse.  The politicians say that we have to allow everyone to have expectations and opportunity for improvement.  When I hear that statement, I think of trickle down economics.  How can it be anything else when big money owns politics?

Premium Member Love's Enduring Joy

A woman sits alone starring into a frigid,
Wind-swept snow through a frosted window
Moistened by her breath.

Deeply she breathes with melodious ease
Preoccupied by the moment, 
Unaware and too upset to care. 
  
Eyes desolate, glowering in disbelief  
Stare into a realm of her own making
Forlorn, untouchable, inconsolable. 

Tightly she grasps a woven blanket  
Upon her legs draping, swaying
Above the floor. 

The odor of burnt wood pervades the air; 
From a hearth the crackle of embers  
Echo through a shrouding silence.

From among the shadows a young girl 
Steps forth; stopping, gently touching
The woman’s arm as she whispers
Into her ear.

The eyes of the woman awoke,
Surprised by the young child 
As they tenderly embraced;
Tears laden with joy flowed
Down her weary face.

Together, yet apart the child
Said nothing as she took one step back
Into the dark.
 
“I love you mother” the child said
As she disappeared into the silence.
