Key

Have you heard the meaning of the word key?                     The word key itself consists its meaning,guys                    
 Key means knob, enter and yield here                                 
 Knob and lever are the forerunner of the key high              
                                                                                                            The knob is used as a key in the olden days.                             If you press the knob, the door will open                           People think that there is no key for the number lock always Only the numbers is the key of such lock chosen                
                                                                                                           Key and love is similar in some context                               They open the lock and the heart respectively.                        My heart is locked you opened it yet                                     
 Here you refers to the love as a key poetically.                          
                                                                                                             The keys open all impossible gates.                                 Similarly the love reds all incredible heart                                No lost keys,no lost time is very great                                    
Is Key an important tool in our daily life chart ?

Premium Member In a Dark Sky

In a dark sky, an eclectic mix stirs
atmospheric storms and persistent winds.
Corrupting clouds with mottled mist deters
the full force where earth-bound lightening ends.

The raging quarrel within the sky trends
toward an unsettling sunrise that blurs.
Its vibrant color provokes and pretends
in a dark sky, an eclectic mix stirs.

Heaven meets hell in a banter of slurs.
Thunder bolts thrown, as harps make amends.
A cacophony of sound that transfers
atmospheric storms and persistent winds. 

Loud blasting burst of screeching crackles tends
to mark the blaring argument that stirs 
with sullen seditiousness, and portends
corrupting clouds with mottled mist deters.

Solemn skies with gray, granite clouds ensures
that torrential rains with whirling winds blends
and blurs the power that surely refers
the full force where earth-bound lightening ends.

Then Susanoo changes his mood and mends	
the skies together again but confers
with gods and goddesses alike then sends
winds and thunderbolts as his messengers
			in a dark sky.

Premium Member Gravidas Earth

GRAVIDAS EARTH

the turntable in a whorl, my thumbprint
distinct on 45’s and 78’s and the cover
near the door, spewed upon - i forgive
you my roommate-sister, it’s only cardboard.
afterall, how’d we know, the future would auction
our records, flatsie and dawn dolls, past 2000 —

we couldn’t even imagine. i’m way off track,
follow the grooves behind me, the moves
that define me, the hairstyle without mousse,
cut and blown as i run, always run for the bus.
i’m still running but I’m never late. out the door,
down a couple steps of baked cement — i

think there is a porch now — i could sled the snowy
drive, steep but the road’s at my feet so i walk
with a heavy plaid coat and snazzy boots to
the stop. one highschooler didn’t stay long —
he caught the bus to another place, no time to wave.

the road named after his kin. the bus arrives,
don’t miss it a bit — so loud with its popular crowd.
the school had a fountain, where we’d wash our hands
where the restrooms were still for boys and girls.

our physics teacher gave us speed, well the formula, as
we hoisted ourselves out the window with ticker tape —
did i say i, no - not i, I wasn’t brave enough, not
ready to die. but a boy whose daddy taught biology
drowned in the clouds of a lake. i mixed his tears
with my own. why cherry pick

the incidents of the oldest kid — she lurks in shadows
remembering the haunts of others. Lexie C gallops
with her friend the horse through the valley of our hearts.
she’s the queen that sat beside me in French class.
she deserted us after graduation, taking a one way road
to her heavenly destination.

she will always be young with Scarlet’s hair
and dark glasses, missing what the rest of us learned
in our education on this gravidas earth.

*Scarlet refers to Scarlet O’Hara of Gone With the Wind fame

Duldul

A purebred Arabian horse 
is strikingly beautiful,
Finely chiseled bone structure
Concave profile, a distinctive head shape
and high tail carriage
prized by the Bedouin people,
the desert dwellers.

But Duldul was a mule—
Historical accounts concur,
However, folklore refers to it as horse—
Even a winged horse
with the power of speech; 
And according to the Quran, Prophet Muhammad 
flew to heaven on a winged horse.

A mule is the offspring of donkey and mare.
A union between the donkey, Ya’fur, 
and Kyrat, the Arabian Stallion, 
She was favored by the Prophet Muhammad
and he rode her into many battles.

Duldul had been a gift to the Prophet from
Al-Muqawqis the ruler of Alexandria,
accompanied by a donkey called Ya’fur,
said to be the descendant of the donkey
ridden into Jerusalem by Jesus.

Premium Member The Woman Weathered His Note-Nw

In a storybook long long ago
The pages filled with her and her tears
Boy meets a girl in San Diego
At a lowly  crossroad of theirs 

Like tumbleweeds blowing  in the wind
Both walking aimlessly along 
With no destination in mind
Yet whistling on the same sad song

Two hobos hitching a ride on a train
Like two ships passing in the dark
Are united in the nomadic terrain 
Where their anchors touch, there's a spark

Both twenty somethings, lost and found
Share that ride in box cars across the state
Where their love grew they pledged to be bound 
Only thing stopping them is bad fate

As the train cut thru America pie
She awoke one morning and he was gone
Her heart broken she began to cry
Her picnic red anted, and played on 
,
She cried on a shoulder that wasn't there 
And made her way home to start anew 
She finished law school on a prayer
She weathered the storm the best she could do 

Sad to say she received a note from him
Sorry I needed to stretch my wings, girl
And athough her life sad and grim
She held back  that his baby girl was a pearl

Never To Say

Never to say 


Never to say ever to do
Once you do that will speak and
That will stand for you
Never to sleep ever to work 
Once you work that will feed and
That will take you to luck
Never to blame and ever to smile 
Once you smile that will change your face  and
That will fix your mind in the banks of Nile
Never to be harsh ever to be kind
Once you are kind that will raise your fame and
That will pave your way to golden sand
Go behind True come towards love
Once you are  true that will create  a
History in the pages of World
In that History of World
Your Name will be there
In the queue of great men’s line

Note 
Here the Golden sand refers to Heaven  where is no hunger ,anger ,pains, and tears
Queue and line are same in meaning but it is repeated to give stress to that line

Premium Member Lessons Etched in Light

Written December 7, 2024, for contest Sponsored by: Karen Jones

                 ____________________________________

When we lose a lesson, we etch an example on a rock,
Be the alteration you wish to view, all round the clock.
 
We have a deep link and a prosaic mental stake.
After brittle, we allow what we did not forsake. 

We seek worth in this life and deem it divine.
Wind disregards the leaves that fall upon the shrine.

Hearts flutter and linger when you're in sight.
Exuberance refers to its outstanding delight.

The exquisite tapestry radiates light from the inside.
Intertwined strands of the lustrous, silvery guide. 

You hope nothing more than my crushed heart. 
Would you be willing to bring us back to the start? 

Time lends death the echo of silent screams.
Dark whispers back to you ripped from dreams. 

I tuck away what I have experienced inside.
When it emerges, we are bound to collide.

Premium Member Earth Heart Earth

Here are some thoughts
 that you may wish to ponder 
About our earthly existence 
wherever you may wish to wander

Two organs to consider 
for a moment keep them apart
Both reliant on each other 
refers to the brain and heart

Following conception, the cell division begins
 the first organ, the heart  begins to form
The pulsing of the heart begins around day twenty two
many months before we are born 

On the other side of life
many carcasses in an abattoir I have observed
Up to an hour after death the heart remains pulsing
in total isolation from from the brain and organs that it once served

To me this indicates the importance of both
the breath and heart as Gods loving means of our direct connection
We have no need  for intermediaries to deliver controlling insurrection

 Thoughts and words only arise from the brain                                                                                                                      
Feelings arise from the heart alone 
Joy truth and love important feelings from which we must not abstain

The anagram of heart is mother earth
Consider feelings which define our loving worth

How many times in life have 
your gut feelings been ignored
In hindsight have you wished you had listened 
to what your intuitive feelings had implored

Action speaks louder than words a quote I've often heard 
a hug a smile a kiss a wave arising from the heart
More significant than just uttering affection a thought emanating word

Premium Member Colours

The detail lowered the colors:
That weathered flag with stripes and stars,
That had crossed so many borders
In declared and undeclared wars.

Young soldiers debark for glories.
The detail lowered the colors.
Old survivors tell their stories
Of comrades who died in valor.

We refused to doubt their honors,
Though causes have been disputed.
The detail lowered the colors,
While veterans were saluted.

To the widows, kind words were said.
The rifle squads rendered honors,
Then respectfully Taps were played.
The detail lowered the colors.

Premium Member Missing You

There isn’t a day that goes past
when mum doesn’t mention your name
Mum is an elderly lady now
yet she still refers to you as ‘mummy’ 
It’s understandable ...
she was only eight when you passed away from breast cancer

I look at your photograph in its silver frame
Oh how I would have loved to have met my maternal grandma...
I was envious of my friends
Going to tea with granny
Or doing something exciting
I feel I missed out so much as a child

Mum tells me you had a fabulous sense of humour
and I’ve since discovered you wrote poetry
as did my aunt and uncle
I guess it is in my blood 
and that one day I was destined to pick up my pen and write

I only wish I could have met you ...
