December

December 

It's the last month of the year 
This year took me  by surprise 
Never thought that this year 
My mom would have died 
Lord knows I've cried 
Lord knows I've prayed 
Lord knows I'm thankful 
For the years he gave  
She was with us 30+ years 
Forever in our hearts  
Your legacy will live on 
We will keep your name alive 
We will thrive ?? 
December is a new start 
December things can change 
I've decided to turn my pain 
Into smiles 
I'm super blessed 
I promise in December 
I will not be stressed ?? 
I will give it my best 
This month  is an opportunity 
This month is for growth ?? 
This month is for blessings left unspoke
This month is for visions that turn into reality 
This month is for you 
And definitely for me 
This month is for miracles 
Wait, watch, and you will see
Lord, I thank you 
Lord, I praise you 
When I think of my life 
And where I could have been 
If you wouldn't have never washed away my sins, 
December is for new beginning and new winnings 
Yes 
December is for passing all test 
December is for telling my story 
In the midst of my tears ?? 
I still give him Glory 
December just started 
I am ready 
To be led by thee 
Walk in his word 
Do what he needs in order for me to succeed 
To My family and friends 
Keep your head up and chin 
We are king and queens 
Destined to win ?? 
As we end this year 
One thing I know 
Is that God 
Is always in control

Sleep Well My Love

At the far end of the casket,
his girlfriend hugged his wife

And told her she was sorry,
that she had tried to steal her life

Their tears then ran in unison,
for a man who loved them both

The years they shared now testament,
to a choice he left unspoke

They never met before this day,
and would never meet again

But each knew well the other, 
and they almost felt like friends

The mistress left, the children wept,
and the grandchildren played outside

As his wife looked down, saying: “Your hell has passed, 
sleep well my love—goodbye”

Sonnet 64 'Who Only Honor Can, Must Never Love'

Who only Honor can, must never Love!
(And Yet, he Loves, all hidden and unspoke!)
Who hath Heart sworn to Holy Spirit Dove,
Can never break what must remain unbroke!
Yet words a-tangle mesmerize him, still!
They speak in echoes and tangential cries.
They do not dare the sacred chalice to spill
And yet he holds the image of her eyes
As jewels to look on, filled with misty hope
O!  Would that I were he, that I might love,
And in my loving, hold the higher rope
But this, my friends, bears never thinking of,
For thinking leads to yearning, that, to doing,
When he that Loves must end his hope’s pursuing.

The Cruelty Of Time

O, cruel Time...thou silent thief of breath,
Whose fingers trace the fragile veil of death;
Thou weav’st the hours in threads of grey,
Till love itself doth pale away.

Thou tak’st our laughter, sweet and brief,
And turn’st it into dust and grief;
Thou swallow’st faces, soft and fair,
Till none recall what once was there.

The heart’s confessions, still unspoke,
Lie buried deep where echoes choke;
The tender glance, the trembling vow,
All perish...none remember how.

Yet in thy wake, though all decays,
Some fire endures through mortal haze;
For words once breathed with soul’s intent
Outlast the frame that Time hath bent.

So love whilst hearts are yet entwined,
Lest silence chain thy speech confined;
Proclaim thy truth ere night unfold—
Time may erase me, but my words are told.
And thou...hast thine been told?


What Is A Poem?

Poetry is a prolonged kiss from the kingfisher's lips.
The interpreted being of a hummingbird’s wings.

The things you do or the things you don’t.
The things you say and the things left unspoke.
The truth, the lies, the half-full hopes.

The light, the dark,
the near and far, almost there’s.

Euphemisms. Nights spent in alleys.
Alone, apart, together at heart.

The life, the aches, the losses
new beginnings, lovers, losers.

Regret.
Regret.
Regret.

Nature, art, destruction,
or the remnants of.

Winners,
haves and have-nots.

Have you ever danced or chanted naked around a bonfire?

That is a poem.

What is a poem?

You.

What a gift it’s been
 to be alive at the same time as your pretty face.

Mammoth Drift

Taken sideways, swept as a web strung spider
Sand sugar legged staggered specimen lured by weightless
            Drifters soon to be lifted by unruly tide's violent 
Fears ditched for the squall enthrall of ocean fizzed caress

           Bolstered by booming blue brew, cork floated
Swell surmounts without pattern or rationale, contankerous
          Bobbed from below, five foot heads promoted
Bounced jack in boxes sprung from rolling realm rapturous  

             By tide's untimed tumult, sea steamed unite
 Sapphire stew participants simmer, softening vegetables 
           Drawn to next wily wave, crest conquer delight 
 Drag of salt soaked slow motion moon cascade incredible

           Roaring turquoise rise, crumb humans crafted
Into toys at mercy of lapis lazuli, control's essential revoke
          Track formation, tremor with desirous laughter
Brought to cool commotion by compulsion utterly unspoke

Premium Member Paisley Swallows

That one lost their tongue
somewhere along the way
long ago, the sound,
doesn’t come out the same
anymore, so they roll it up 
like a carpet containing 
a nakedly dead body
of blunt words 
like unplucked violins
untuned to how it all 
really works 
begging to be heard,
and the flowery prose, 
purple and bruised 
like over-ripe fruit
teeth rottingly sugary sweet, 
is now seen 
day-in-and-night-out,
struggling with ease 
way too much 
like madness overgrown, 
the dense overgrowth 
of language unspoke
hides glittering gems 
blushing shamefully
more exquisite than 
the now daily averies
all penned in babel
that flow in glass jarring
anticipated patterns 
of suffocating 
paisley prose,
the simple beauty
in the plainly spoke,
never again 
to be seen nor heard,
the mercurial metaphors
birdfeed scattered
to the begging migrations
of petulant bluebirds
naughty nightingales 
honey trapping 
wet-beaked hummingbirds 
all beating hearts
with their wild wind flapping,
tossing sticks and stones 
to those tongue thirsty 
kiss lapping, lap dancing 
love parched, gargling
swallows
