Premium Member The Last Train

She was standing on the station waiting for the express train
It would be her last journey, wouldn’t see her folks again
Her head it was swimming with dark and angry thoughts
Of her husband’s betrayal and all the pain he’d brought

The signals indicated the express train would come
She jumped off the platform, her time on earth was done
Her family were torn apart and couldn’t understand why
This loving wife and mother was so desperate to die 

This tale is oh so tragic, people thought their marriage was fine
But her journey with her husband had reached the end of the line

Premium Member We See It Now

Space flickers, revealing white light
If we pause to blink, we’ll miss it
God’s blessings, bestowing clear sight
Signals we are at the summit

When void-centric becomes our view
Space flickers, revealing white light
Within form, as bliss throbs renew
Rapturous is our heart’s delight

Suffused with joy, by day and night
Unending’s our meditation 
Space flickers, revealing white light
The source of all of creation

In heart resounds, soundless thunder
The truth of oneness, now shines bright
We behold in childlike wonder
Space flickers, revealing white light

Premium Member Smoke Signals

The second hand smoke
Of a relentless pursuit of peace.
Projects the burned out forest 
Of my soul. My tired trembling hands
That I return to my pockets
Because of the blood stains under my 
Finger nails. Never finding anything remotely 
Close to home, I am a careless visitor in my own skin.Black sheep,the shame swept under the rug.the claustrophobic  cataclysm that nobody talks about.The dirty secret hidden in a box lock away 
In shadows.Shame I have always carried to the name that never was mine to begin with.
Systematically hell bent on finding something worth what fight I have left.This battered  broken glass  heart of mine, the glue oozing 
From the cracks is the metaphor of my whole life.

Premium Member Poets In Sync " Two Peas In a Pod "

April this year
2009
Writing and posting
Wow, it's all going fine

Miss Gorelick, Miss Devonshire
Welcomed me aboard
Two lovely ladies
Wow, this Highlander's scored

But honestly
The feeling i received
Was very much more
Than i had dream-ed

The weeks progressed
As i wrote my poems
The comments by Carolyn
Had kept me going

As i wrote away
Topics and themes
Historical and nature
Subjects to me, supreme

As i read Carolyn's
And she read mine
Two peas in a pod
It springs to mind

Similar writings
And some even the same
Signals in harmony
Sailing the same plain

And look at us now
A collaboration couple
Our future in write
A poet double

Our poems together
Two heads as one
Look out for our postings
There's much more to come

Premium Member The Lower Realms

The soul wanderer reached a lower realm
He was offered Siddhis, women and wealth 
Love suffused heart, having God at the helm
Saw ego’s serpentine approach in stealth

What avail power, when God search our aim
Why pander to lust, since life ebbs away
Once enlivened by bliss, we’re not the same
Rapture by day and night, that’s here to stay

Ensouling mind-body, love flame steady
Joyous soul entwines with Holy Spirit
Gong of truth within signals we’re ready
To plunge in the void and reach the summit

All’s enabled when desires we let go
Renounce oh hermit, cravings of ego

The Velvet Echo

"The Velvet Echo" 

Lives 
eclipse

one comes in
the other out

passing light
in empty hallways

corridors of subversive
romantic notions 

strange singing, 
the sounding lifts 

waves 
enticing,

smiles curiously 
unsure, in the drift

towards another life 
oceans deeper across

invocations, swimming sirens 
beautiful bells appealing 

fibonacci tendrils 
enveloping emptiness 

another language 
transferred, in the feeling

stretching eternity
in subliminal universes 

never touching
but touching

one looks over 
to the other, 

there, somewhere,
something other, sensed

contracted
reflections 

holding 
patterns

for a while each 
the other

the signing sings
in elliptical signals

mysterious 
missives

one in wonder
one in doubt

the myth of each 
rich and encrypted

before waking
as in a dream 

there in that sacred place
a voice unseen 

impresses, 
its velvet echo caresses 

the softness suspended
in two hearts held

it says,
to each

“You are in my realm now”
“You are in my realm now”

(LadyLabyrinth / 2022)

Premium Member Hello September

Hello September


By end of August, leaves curl on the trees;
   the hues of brown and yellow catch our eye.
The deepened shades of green fade in degrees,
   and soon it's time that Summer says goodbye.

Now cool September bends to Fall's concern,
   though still, some Summer warmth may overflow, 
the shortening of days signals the turn
   to think about our Autumn's golden glow.

The colored crispness of bright fallen leaves
   negates the loss of Summer's carefree days.
Progression's slow, but day by day Fall weaves
   a special time of year that will amaze.

September makes her mark with Labor Day,
   when then we know for sure that Summer's done.
Our thoughts turn to lifestyles another way,
   preparing for our Wintertime's long run.

Dawn hurls fine hues
Sparkling sunrise;
Nature awakes


Dazzling colours
Signals and signs;
Song of morning


Night is lifted
Day comes to shine;
Endless possibilities


Walk in sure light
Embrace the warmth;
Sizzle and smile


Another journey
To explore joy;
Let faith know peace


Let zest attend
Daytime demeanour;
Truth echoes zeal


Life is a fest
In swirl and surge;
Dare to emerge


Laughter comes
To show just how;
Enjoy delight


All that you see
Comes just to charm;
Lovely things happen


Frolic with time
Space a canvas;
Live bright colours


What you see
Is what you get;
Nothing else matters

Premium Member Marching Band

Almost four-o-clock in the afternoon
and not a single tambourine in sight

you should have jumped over the moon
hours ago, until

secret alien creatures on the surface
said the autopsy was inconclusive

which explains for me why 

icicles drip from your heart, as the sun
warms the memory of your embrace, like

moonflowers, gently unfolding at night
reveal the mysteries of love 

the bandleader, wearing a feathered pompadour
signals a final formation

somewhere in time
your tune marches into the distance

                             marches

                                           .......into the distance

Premium Member Humans, Ants and Shadows

HUMANS, ANTS AND SHADOWS

The smallest ants cast long shadows. . .

Little they are but see how discipline they can be
Millimeters apart, they all unify in a single file

It's a dismay that at some point
Humans, don't show such discipline
Instead of waiting for their turn
Sometimes one overtakes, one assumes
someone else's  post just to be on time 

selfish motive or emergency,
who knows?

Polymorphic ants, they merge 
to do an umbrella of tasks
Humans regardless of status and age
All are entitled to do some chore
inside ones home, school or workplace
Hand and hand in a web of labor

Talking to each other 
with their own way: pheromones
Some colonies act as one
but some misunderstands, they fight.

Humans as well does communicate
with the languages that abound this earth.
Hence, we can readily convey our thoughts
but still, highest among creations,
there are still confusions and war.

Amazing!
Such little creatures,
Ants  and we, humans,
one way or another 
cast long shadows. . .
