No Matter the Form

`

“In the craft of a rhyme, there’s no loss in the time”

Sitting at my desk, gray walls, unflattering
as the fluorescent lighting brings boredom
to the page as I challenge myself to write

“In this cubicle I stay, among all forms of gray”

Free verse or rhyme, it matters not
if that thread of inspiration isn’t woven
into my thoughts as I struggle for a theme

“With words come a cost, if thoughts are found lost”

Love is the standard for me, regardless of form,
through dawning horizons and moonbeam quivers,
my footsteps lead into the vast display

“Come morning or night, my heart tends to write”

And again I find, that merely the thought of you,
your beauty, your smile, your kiss embraces me so
that my pen finds its way to the page happily

“Your love forever keeps me warm, no matter what my chosen form”

Accept

I promise to stand firmly by your side, steadfast and sincere, regardless of the obstacles we may encounter on our journey together. In those long, challenging nights when the weight of the day pulls you down, I will be there, holding you closely, providing warmth and solace. There is no distance too great for me to travel just to witness the brilliance of your smile, which illuminates my world and fills my heart with joy. I pledge to uplift your spirits when you find yourself feeling low, offering comfort in your darkest hours to help dissolve your fears and dry your tears. Every moment shared with you is a precious gift, and I cannot imagine a future that does not include you. You have fundamentally changed my life, enriching it with joy and love that I had never known before. Our union feels like destiny, and while our time may seem limited, my devotion to you is everlasting. I ask you to accept this heart as a symbol of the unwavering love I will always cherish for you.

Premium Member - You Must Be Brave -

She's going outside her comfort zone
Why would she leave her safe cell
Life has come with promises from the birth moment
Of a light at the end of the tunnel
The pain that ruin causes falls deep into the darkness
There is no need to be afraid
Every day and every night
Refuse to love, nightmares and dark shadows from the past
A constant fight ensues between her heart and mind
No questions nor any answers ... emptiness
She lets the cold breeze guide her thoughts
Moments define themselves regardless
Right here helpless, silent and breathless
Dreaming by candlelight and paper lanterns
Brilliantly defined and silhouetted, and so brightly lit 


When the curtains open and music plays 
Fluttering wings of magic sails on cloud nine 
Flashing golden memories held within the dome 
Happiness enchanting spells a heavenly rays smiles 
Open arms warmly embracing sighs inside waves turn keys
One song faraway rising tides brushing sands 
In the basin seed of love nourished with beauty 
Eden's fruit once bitten when rose blossoms 
Sweetly summer sun dances in the horizon 
Kissing beams drifting faraway holding paradise 
Walking inside the moonlight shadows of daydreams
Winds whispering honey coating chants your tune

Rotate

7/22/21

People continuing to show hate
As if they themselves are so great
While the planet continues to rotate

Boy you need a lot more than Colgate
You thought it did, but it carried no weight
Don't make me, or I'll put you in yo place
The evidence will be difficult to locate

Only got 24 so I poured up some twenty fours
Ready for many more
It's been a deadly war
Pulled through with tremendous force
While I weathered any storms
The answers to such questions, is like seeking an endless source

People continuing to act fake
In good or bad shape 
Dealing with another backache
Life will give and it shall take

Let's get the facts straight
Life moves at a fast pace
Don't end up in last place
In this giant rat race

Why have they 
Continued to act that way
Been another bad day
Empty bottles and an ashtray
The same old pathway
Could just never keep it all at bay

It's been revolting
As life continues unfolding
After the whole thing
Not just a gold ring

Yet it always ends up being an ice cold drink
Empty or a full drink
Be bold or sink
Who am I kidding, I always got one, like it's a cool thing
What the f*** am I really doing?
Who am I truly fooling?
Why am I always smoking and boozing?
Winning and losing
At times it is or isn't amusing
As death is always looming
Underneath objects in the sky zooming
In space matter devoured by black holes that keep consuming

Regardless of if we once were schoolmates
It's all been a wild goose chase
People still being two faced
Calling others a fruitcake
Let me give ya'll a news break
I'm going to get much more than a few scrapes
While above and below sluice gates
Having a wallet and safe full of bills with a blue face
Still traveling through space
Got rid of the evidence, no need for a suitcase

Those that give and others who take
Coming in rough, obscure or smooth shapes
Close to estates that grew grapes
In order to make
Wine all the time, before it's all too late
Before it's all too late
What's getting accomplished if always you wait?
I'm going to continue to mutate
Getting it done before the due date
Otherwise it all would  be a huge waste

Premium Member Importance of Authenticity

I thought I’d seen the worst, many times, many times
                          -  No, I hadn’t  -
We are now in times beyond anything imaginable
So many people suffering in a stormy sea of problems
We are here and it isn’t easy relying on survival tactics daily
Tired, but enduring, reaching deep inside for every resource
                       -  While keeping faith - 
There are no longer limits and justice is mainly gone
We can only keep loving others and ourselves 
I thought I’d seen the worst so many times in the past,
                 - But, I know there is more ahead - 
I am a creator, but I am analytical; I am a dreamer, but factual
Always facing truth, regardless of how hard it may be
For, a life is not worth living unless living it authentically!

Far From

7/12/22

Still traveling through space
It's not falling into place
Tripped over my shoelace
Wound up with a bruised face
I'm starting to lose faith
People staying missing or found in a suitcase
Now we got another new case
Across more than a few states
Has there been enough progress in attempts to reduce waste?
Playing hard to get, but I'm not into a wild goose chase
Is the dam soon to break?

I can't let it
Regardless if it all starts to go left quick
In a world that can be so hectic
Many turn frenetic
Looking for an exit
It's not a game, you can't just select 'quit'

Another drink another pen rip
Eff it
They can sit there and be skeptics
They'll be full of  like a sceptic
They try to fight it never willing to accept it
They're still doing things that are pathetic
One thing they won't be is apologetic
I'll get it done by being athletic
As well as energetic
If need be in order for the outcome to be electric
Nearby buildings made of red brick
This is very far from by best pitch
Back in time over that they'd lose their head quick

Half the fruit is good the other half is a rotten apple
I swear half the world has gotten fragile
On others people often tattle
It's become a constant hassle
Meanwhile I'm still caught in battles
With drugs and alcohol it's a problem unhandled
At this rate, how can I ever rise above being mere 'common rabble'
If I remain locked and shackled

Premium Member In a Perfect World

Is this all there is - is it enough?
If this is as good as it gets
I would not change a thing
Much better than it was.

My world has meaning - it used to be a blank
I spent half my life wanting more, never content
Looking for missing pieces in order to feel complete

If given a choice of a perfect world
I would stay exactly where I am
My life is not perfect by far
It is so much more than I deserve

I would continue to be thankful and give back what I can
I do not have to have all the answers
Regardless of situations, I am given the tools I need

Because I am human, a perfect world is not for me

Premium Member - Small But Big Enough -

Small and round ?
No, I'm just big enough
Why be big when you're happy as little
I am a cheerful lady in my prime

You know, the mice are cute - but very naive
So full of wonder

The fire flies in the dark are a bit creepy
Two yellow staring eyes ... who is it ?
The cat is waiting for a meal
Always scared of the claws of the bad cat

Still I am among the living
Probably I have been a lion in an earlier life
One who carries many lives from bursting stars
Maybe I'm talking from a strange mouth
I give you my handshake, it proves my courage







- Morality: - You mean a lot, regardless of size or shape 
                - Courage to live and enjoy

Do You Feel For Anything Other Than Yourself

I've heard that poetry won't get us very far

But what do they know?

Where a few  of my words blot a napkin

 is my

One and only refuge

So in essence

It helps to keep my sanity 
from

 this heartless world
My broadened perspective

Where my eyes are held open

can never be completly shut

I write

What I see

I've heard that my words will be forgotten 

When I am dead and gone

I will be dead and gone

But no one can touch this moment; the freeing of my happy soul

It is mine alone, regardless of if i am made of cartillage 

or just bone

I've heard that as a woman I am overly emotional

But what do they know?

Dismayed

I feel every pulse of life around me

and the drip drop of of  of the spring rain

I hear the sound of sobbing of people a thousand miles away

I feel the bloodshed

I smell the smoke

I see the heart break

Emotional?
By that you mean I can feel...
what do you feel
WHAT DO YOU KNOW?

By your silence I can tell that you cannot
because you forgot

 You think that expression of any sort other than patriotism

is a waste of time? 

keep your eyes on the prize 

a.k.a.  work ethic

and you will get ahead
Numb your heart
To the real world

You call this the real world?
where the realness is hidden by the dumbing down of society

For you see

Your senses are dulled

When you no longer can understand 

the artist

and her poetry

no;

not poetry

but your own sense of empathy

desire, fear, laughter, love, hatred, confusion, 

blatent disregard

You do much to spit in the face of our creator

feel it all

or all will be lost

our sense of justice, and empathy

should be kept at all costs

Walls of a Prison

Every room has four walls,
they may be high or low;
this prison represses my tenacious spirit
to take them down and run free!
Solitude can be powerful for some
to build up that sense of manly pride,
but inside the longing is strong
to embrace someone and go on! 

I spent half of my life in deplorable solitude,
detesting my brother's bumptiousness...
seeing him through different lenses;
doubt can be as volatile as burning fire!

Regardless of how he may have seemed,
he had the same thick blood as I had,
the same temptations and imperfections; 
I paid for my mistrust in him very dearly. 

These sturdy walls restrain my ability
to overcome fear, how far is the outside world?
How intense is the desire to escape
from this desolation and finally breathe
the sweet air of freedom? Even the strongest
walls shouldn't discourage me from knocking
them down and set myself free! 
How lovely is a sky without clouds
for someone that saw only rain!
