Flowering Moonbeams

all the beauty and wonder 

 a vision of dreams

  a natural spectacular

   slipped through a seam

 

   making smiles for miles

  you lit up our days

 as your voice rang out

souls lost were saved

 

your anger is deep

 at the harshness of life

  I’ve seen crying for days

   for a strangers plight

 

   a heart on a platter

  is what you give out

 at injustice your rage

cant be sold for a shout

 

I have cried with laughter

 at the oddest times

  on a rainy night

   at the witching line

 

   I have watched you create

  a scripture of hours

 I watch as your smile

adorned the wildflowers

 

I could cry for the pain

 that’s burning my heart

  I could rage at the night

   while I rip it apart 

 

   But I push that aside

  for the love that I feel

 couldn’t be stronger

or anymore real 

 

your a flower on my moon

 a star in my night sky

  I sit here and wonder

   will I let my heart cry 

 

   the tribute you’ve given 

  I send back to you

 for the butterfly days

and the wildflowers too 

 

at the ebb of the tide

 as light hits the moon

  flowers are dancing

   as spring threads your loom

 

   all the beauty and wonder

  of a walking dream

 the moonbeams are quiet

as she slips through a stream

 

Namaste

Premium Member The Ship

The Ship

The sails were white, except the spinnaker. 
That was bright blue like the sky above. 
In the center was an eagle, wings spread, claws out. 
To call her pirate, would be… to do her wrong. 
She was more, much more. 

Her crew were tall, not under fed. 
They came from every nation. 
The call, was like a song. 

“Come, come to the stars, to lands and worlds far away.”
It was from every mouth, on every breath. 
Adventure.

Treasure maps sold at the corner, the five and dime plus. 
See everything, miss nothing. 
Buy a card to send back home. 
Leave it in the box…
At the front. 

Words could not express, the music was so sweet. 
The draw, the pull, the magic of someplace new…
Responsibility pulling everything down, 
like an anchor on reality.
The promise…
let go.

Premium Member We Are So Connected, Yet We Can’t See Each Other Anymore

We sit inches apart,
glowing screens between us,
a thousand miles wide.

We speak in echoes,
algorithm-fed replies,
pre-packaged thoughts
we never owned.

I send you a message.
You send back a reaction.
A digital thumb,
a cartoon heart,
a flicker of presence—
then gone.

We gather in crowded rooms,
silent, heads bowed in reverence
to the gospel of notifications.
A congregation of ghosts,
all here,
all absent.

Your voice is there, but flattened.
Your eyes are there, but dimmed.
I reach for you—
but you are buffering.

And yet, we post proof of life,
a curated display
of curated selves,
hoping someone, somewhere,
will see beyond the pixels,
will touch something real.

But no one does.

Because we are so connected,
yet we can’t see each other anymore.

Frantic

I was lasting for long... 
Tried not to wrong.....
Made my way down the road,
And no reason to cry,
What shall meet that time?
I was such a fool,to let go!
Stood by that door,.....lifted my hand to snubbed that soul,
And no reason to even lie 
Send back that mind,
Lifted my eyes in the sky,....
Sure to see those behind me.
Breaking intentions in high grams,
Wash away dirt from that durable apparel,
Yearning more for farewell, 
How do I wait and say,"forgive me"?
Lofty my words of regret may be,
No one knows what tomorrow will set on the dinning table,
Shadows of pain,shed of rebel,
Jumped over an elephant,till several times only to a lizard.
Every word will be held sad,
Like the ass roared to the farmer,
No room for the accuser!
Host of counts and countess,
Desperate for societal powers, 
Come forth to carry me home,
Always playing in rain,
As sunshine brings happiness in lane.
Forgiveness clears a sinful pot,
Seventy seven by seven......ridicule not!

Anthem

How loud the anthem played
 with soldiers on parade
off to some foreign land
 helping a new nation take a stand.

Wars lag on 
 easily forgotten by the throngs
Men and women come home
 unannounced without songs.

Peace remains aloof
 and the battle cries lie in the proof
that greedy needs of the powerful and rich
 took us in with their loudest pitch.

Democracy indeed should be for all
  but the men and women still fall
beneath the war cry bombing foreign lands
would that peace soon be at hand.

Let the anthem be played again
 for brave women and young men
bring them home to family and love
 send back the olive branch with the dove.

Allegory Of Lazarus And The Rich Man

The ending of your salvation
Is the ending of your life
Like Lazarus he's very poor
He wear sack cloth, he's sick
He only eat the crumbs under the rich man's table
The rich man has all the things in life
He is famous, he's powerful, he's respected
Death is the equalizer of life
Lazarus died, the rich man also died
Lazarus died angel came and bring Lazarus to heaven
The rich man died, for few seconds
He open his eyes and he's in the torment of hell
The rich man made so much request to Abraham
To send Lazarus to send back to Earth and preach to his 5 brothers
The rich man became an Evangelist this time
Requesting somebody must preach repentance to his house
To know avail his request wasn't granted
No more rewinding of life, no turning back my friends
We have given 70 years on Earth
To find that salvation in our life
If you can't, negotiate to Him, pray to God
If you find that salvation, repent and surrender
Sign the covenant and do His will no matter what.

Premium Member Negative Echoes

Too much negativity can lead astray -- 
what you see is more of what you
will get; what you hear are the echoes
that your heart will send back – what you pray are
the angels you will attract...the God
type who will lead them.  Entertain in your mind 
deceit, greed, war and violence, greater fire and smoke
will suck the air from your experienced everyday environment.  
Speak vehemence, vengeance, and the Lord of retribution
will contrive your footsteps and flying – the deity
of heavens and hells will imprint new
such drama landscapes, battles of your dawns and nights. 
One manifests, forms and reforms fears and desires his
deluded heart and soul mistakenly empower.  Clean
one’s self, and both heaven and hell
will be at last an immaculate harmony of peace and shared
love.  Heaven on earth.  No Second Coming till then.

Borrowed Truth

Are you in my head
a thought that doesn’t feel like mine
a memory whispering through me
asking me to see
what I am told is real

If you say I smiled today, it stays stored that way
only if you say so

If you say I sounded gentle
then that is what I was
only if you say so

If you say the moment was warm, it keeps its heat archived in my memory
only if you say so

If you say the light felt right
I stop arguing with the dark
as if it is a language my mind no longer knows how to translate
only if you say so

My thoughts blur at the edges of nightfall
Will you be my sight

I am learning not to see on my own
So whatever you say becomes what I believe

You are my eyes
and I am the version of me you send back to me

because I stopped trusting my own eyes
and now even desire feels like something I was told to want

For All Eternity

As daylight dawns my eyes close
On another sleepless night
So cold and all alone without
Your arms to hold me tight

I look out through the glass
And watch the sunrise in the sky
And still I find no answers
As again I’m asking why

My nights they seem so endless
Then I face another day
So full of pain and loneliness
Since God took you away

People say that time will heal
That I’ll get over you
That one day I will laugh again
That I’ll find someone new

I only wish they’d understand
Why that will never be
I’ll never love another
For you were my destiny

Take me back to when we were
I need you by my side 
For every night I'll call your name 
And in your love I'll always hide

And though I've tried to carry on
My fears I cannot hide
I just can’t face this world alone
Without you by my side

The tablet bottles empty now
And on our bed I lay
I put my hands together
Then I close my eyes and pray

"Please God will you send back down
My Angel from above
Then he will gently take my hand
And lead me back to love.. 

He’ll guide the way to Heaven
Where together we will be
Two Angel's who are blessed with love
For all eternity"...
