People amble by in view of the placid lake
Mesmerized by horizon adorning scarlet
While not far from the Oak tree, I stealthily lay
Enthralled in musical repertoire of Blue Jays
As squirrels run wild in a purposeful race
And searching for food woodpeckers peck.
Trust me when I say they are no friends--
One by one they devoured my mates
And now here I am, the only one left--
Thanks to the kid who curiously picked me
And threw me away in callous disdain
Landing in a pit just a few yards from the lake
Still within grace of the golden daybreak.
My endurance burned in hot summer days
And resilience ached in stormy, rainy haze
Till cooler nights met dewy vibrant dawns
As resplendent vistas autumn witnessed
And falling colors floated in evening breeze
Burying me in cloak of fiery-red leaves
For semblance of warmth in winter forlorn.
In misery of wet, cold my core utterly soaked
As I almost lost hope of sanguine heart echoes
Until aura of life the young spring invoked
When my roots formed, sprouting new growth
And slowly I up-rose in a delightful world
Marveling rising skies of ruby brushstrokes.

When Hell Is Full**
Sweet memories fade like old Navy clothing,
leaving an unpleasant taste in my mouth—
like a can of Grace corned beef with stale onions,
drizzled with oil; it was tolerable at the time.
Years have passed, yet those thoughts still
send chills down my spine. I utterly detest those moments
when the pain won’t let go.
Just as I was about to turn the key,
He walks toward the elevator,
the same old walk heading to that all-too-familiar place.
Vulnerability is weakness; voodoo may offer
only fleeting relief.
Sweet memories fade like old Navy clothing,
and a scorned wife never forgives—it’s a viper’s sting.
The dead cannot rest easily, knowing what
they have done.
Forgiveness carries a hefty price!!
and it’s dark. The living will move forward,
while the dead will roam this earth for eternity
When hell is full.
He came to me just like a flower in the springtime
with arms wide open and eyes the color of thyme
when He spoke to me His words were fluently kind
as we walked side by side I was utterly consigned
He came to me, just like a seed in the springtime
Jesus is my everlasting friend of old
Emblazoned by His Spirit I am lost in his
Synergy of love. He is a Son of gold
Undulating inside my soul. He's a kiss
Safely placed, on my heart's enfold
He came to me on a quiet morning of thanksgiving
reminding me that I live, in the land of the living
when I think of all the blessing he has bestowed
I realize that my love for Him, will never grow old
Blink at your peril just incase it passes
you bye
Putin is on the war path to Ukraine
As if you miss it , it won't be back until
Haley's comet ride's our darkened night
sky again
Big Ben's Bell's hand strikes the
bewitching hour of 10 as a
Cuckoo flew traverse over the
luna full moon
Highlighting the Luftwaffe over
Yee Old London Town dropping
a blitzkrieg of bomb's from the sky
Beneath a total eclipse of the sun
so confused and utterly perplexed
It knows whether not to it should
wink , smile , cry or avert its Ray's
And worst of all contemplate whether
or not come wake of dawn should he
in fact
Come up and shine it's warmth
and light on that which is left and
doth still remain
Whence mornings mushroom smog
slowly clears and unfounded fear's
appear real
Sting forth dry burning tears from cotton
mouth's with jaw's dropped
And as no living flora is now left behind
a substitute then has to be sought
In order to whittle funeral wreath's and
so to new coronation crown's out of
The Art of Saying Nothing
Gather the soft clay while you can,
the junk mail, the tissue paper, the living speech of man.
Be utterly open to the frozen winter landscape,
to the buttercup, the faded blue, the magic flight, the shape.
At first it is a lumpy loom, a box of random words,
a snowman flying wordless with the melancholic birds.
Layer the torn washi tape, let common accents fall,
poetry is the art of saying nothing much at all.
Then take the chisel to the stone to free the hidden face,
cut away the lazy phrase, the ghost of time and space.
The mystery is the absence, the silence left behind,
the lines that shine like stars inside the borders of the mind.
No rigid rules to shackle verse, just listen to the air,
read the beating line aloud and strip the sculpture bare.
For gifts are not the reason that we block the text in blue
we only do it for the rhythm, pushing, pulling through.
I spent my entire day shopping for priceless rubies,
Rubies are unquestionably fiery, rubies are outright enchanting!
For my daughter’s approaching wedding, I scoured countless stores,
She must look gorgeous and absolutely stunning!
I travelled faraway to exotic India and hounded the exuberant jewellers,
My daughter must wear phenomenal rubies red,
On her sumptuous wedding day, I must make sure,
She looks resplendent, dazzling, and the loveliest!
I was frantically desperate to find the mystical gem,
Rubies are jaw-dropping, rubies are deliriously rare,
It was utterly understandable that I had to spend a wild fortune,
Finding the alluring jewel right for my beloved daughter!
Mythical rubies embody everlasting love and fervent passion,
Endless energy and infinite power rubies symbolize,
My daughter is protected from all adversaries and negative entities,
And mercifully blessed with a zest for life.
From a chirpy, bubbly, lass to a blushing, breathtaking bride,
Life's fascinating, intriguing journey has begun,
An enigmatic ruby from her doting mother, a priceless gift,
With all the celestial blessings showered!

The Chocolate Baker is a lady of stature so grand,
She bakes the best cookies and cakes over the lands.
Other bakers dishes are tasteless and utterly bland,
Sensationally goodness are the works from her hands.
Miraculous wonders from her oven every day appear,
Close to my palate her talents have become very dear.
Cakes, brownies, fudge, puddings and chocolate pies,
Scrumptious delectable aromas bring tears to my eyes.
As Chocolate is a part of my menu almost every day,
Living near the bakery would be a wise choice I’d say.
So a house I found with a little effort and a bit of labor,
Now the Chocolate Baker, a grand lady is my neighbor.

Line of inquiry:
"betwixt the pulse of our heartbeat
simply present, head-heart linking
dwelling in time stretched blissful peace
awareness became unblinking" Unseeking Seeker
Oh, those times when it was just you and I.
Forever in your arms I’d want to stay.
I gazed into your eyes – in blue of sky
I felt immersed as all cares slipped away.
There was no past or future; we were one,
and one together, we were breathing bliss
as warm and comforting as springtime’s sun,
which on each rose’s petals leaves a kiss.
There was no time, and only peace we knew.
It stretched before us. Utterly aware
were we , that love - unspoken - is love true.
Accepting one another, souls laid bare,
I lost myself in you and you in me.
Unblinking bliss– we were so wholly free.
I guess you're seeing a flag?
Trouble comes and go,
The range of my eyes captures all black
Walk with me if life is without you alone,
Steal an emblem to save a city,
When we don't know where to go,breastfeed me to experience your nurture,
From west comes deity,
Drilling your motives pings a picture,
Who testifies about how we do it?
The infancy about handling our kisses form texture,
Don't break our dream when firefly jolts in pit,
Like stellar,we end not a plan,
There you see one,specifically you point repeatedly,
I'm ferocious to explain what need to be in steadly,
Stay dumbed,...hinged with haunt,
No more understanding,wrestling over count,
Style leaned against what excels ,
In melted rubber,I'm bonded,
Out from a water,cleaned from irritation,
Freedom chased,lumpy all around station,...
Imaginative compression,
Yellow within colour,
Bright and delineated stiffening what ants throw to us below earth so lower,
The flag is dirty,
The means it ponds me,...leave feeders bin,
Orchestra at top,the recrimination is demeaned,
White snakes climbing the poles at this place,
Miracle deconstruct brace,
Utterly,I'm surveying what goes else where,
I'm far perceiving good with bad,
On the mountain...on the mountain,
We have to go,
Just believing the sharp distinctiveness,
I'm a little eagle on neatness,
Feel right,I speak your mode,
Maybe I wish I'd known,
The night bought you freckles,
Thirty-six minutes passed Three o'clock at dawn,
The moon frowned against pond,
Its brightness killed the strength of everyman,
All the time,pictures come from a volition,
Pretend she does fight under sun,
Friday won't be dismayed,...it's a vision,
Other way needs several elsewhere,
Get yourself into deep air,
Further we might go,we could washed the flag neatly,
It seems wholly what came after a touch of help,
Already,motives are alternated,
Can I adulterate the nip?
It's not problematical as who glib,
But teach me the means of consolidation.
It's an extortion...
“Love, is a prompt, that utterly inspires the sleepless stars above grieving grass,
so let the wind and waves be the music to the heart that longs in euphonious silence.” ~ By the Poet
The quartz moon has seen your silent scribbles,
and how I'm utterly drenched in teal~
seas of stardust, where silhouette
of sky floats across turquoise
torrents of temptations,
while like the sun I
rise to embrace
magnolia
memoirs.
For
hope
still flies
on paper-
wings of a gold
horse carousel, as~
your voice remains my muse
that ignites flickering flames
growing within my love-struck art,
yet I question sleepless stars in your
eyes, what is life without skies sprinkling sage~
upon restless reflections strolling through
carmine tunnels of my hibiscus
heart, hypnotized and lost within
the mellifluous rhythm that
echoes from rose-wood flutes
of forever played
with sapphire tuned
serenades
from pearl
bliss.
So
let me
sing verses
woven with deep
indigo ink to
lure those amethyst-stringed
butterflies fluttering dreams,
above your midnight meadows sketched
in hues of honey-glazed emeralds~
mirroring sealed lips with enthralling wreaths.
