I'M Gene Kelly Again

Spending today 
whilst wiling away 
   
   each hour 
      
      each minute 
         
         each second

Pottering about
doing nought

I am feeling 
relaxed as can be

For today I have spent 
with delightful intent
 
   bathing in words
      
      luxuriating in bubbles
         
with poetry cleansing my soul

erasing my troubles
   sploshing 
      and splashing
         I swim in her poetry puddles

just like Singing in the Rain
 I love playing this game
   becoming Gene Kelly again…

Written on 2nd March 2020 after spending a delightful day writing and reading mine and others poetry on Poetry Soup - indulgent and decadent yet oh so peaceful...

Secret Lover

"Secret Lover"

Fight to live and never stop,
Give it hell till the casket drops,
Break these chains and find my self, 
Shake this habit for my health,
Don't believe him when he lies,
Bitter sweetness my demise,
On my arms he leaves his mark,
Peaceful chaos in the dark,
Silent assassins claims another,
Innocent tears missing their mother,
Stolen away like a thief in the night,
Oblivious numbness fades into light,
Addicted to the peace found in the pain,
Kept in secret and Hidden in shame,
 I fill the sting I see red cough and drift away,                     
Like a fool I chase this dragon though I need to slay,
With every kiss he steals some life taking from me breath,
Temptation whispers in my ear lies of a beautiful death,
I beg him To go but he knows Im lying, 
Tainted is his love killing its certain I'm dying,
Every move he makes always in silence, 
Im a wiling victim of his domestic violence, 
Realization of illusion my distorted reality,
Sociopathic addiction and forgotten Fatality, 
At first I believed him guess just blind ignorance,  
Now Searching for his presence found in a rinse,
On a mission to escape although its imprisoned relief, 
Aware of true intentions and recognized is this Greif, 
Press on to the finish and beat these odds,
Memories soon to fade of a junkies' nods,
Stay strong and endure this rough weather, 
For myself for my little ones gotta do better,
No EPO to keep him at bay,
Left with my thoughts so on my knees I pray,
Turn to God this time and really try,
Make a choice to live and not to die,
I must face him this monster that haunts,
Lingering In the shadows I hear his taunts,
I call him hank but he has many,
Call him what you will his names are plenty,
He is the one who takes my soul, 
In truth he bought it some time ago, 
The one that takes but doesn’t give, 
The most feared predator to date to live,
Addiction shows to me no mercy,
Craving just a taste unquenched left thirsty,
Ill get it right I'll win this battle ill shine, 
And keep on fighting this fight,
that wasn’t ever meant to be mine.

No Impeachment

I don’t believe Donald Trump should be impeached,
He’s brought light to the Presidency, a dynasty,
Of a long line of ‘born again’ believers, screeched,
Wiling government into a god-inspired fallacy.

Burocracy is not an heuristic term or value judgement -
It’s a rational roll of reasonable deliberations, business,
Mirroring the typical American citizen as sediment,
Which Mr Trump places, to his credit and best guess.

He’s not a force for power without love and freedom,
Stealing smiles from unlikely Democrats, Pub’s alike,
He gives the lesser the right to arbitrate and custom,
When climbing the hierarchy an eager workers’ hike.

He’s not killed five people, an individual’s sadness,
Another quinquennial would see America great again,
With Covid faced squarely and firmly by flatness,
Joe Biden will take it as efficient, practical and fain.

Let the people speak from the Representative’s House,
Not one view, but proffering all view’s to regulate,
Bold with speech, he’s turned the stiff upper clouse,
Into commerce’s flutter, so please give a vulgate.

The principle of natural fairness

Nature shaped the earth into the sphere 
While leaving each piece of parts flats 
To offer individual life  places to grow 
While rotating around the sun as a whole 

For all individuals can thus equally share  
The glare of brightness, warmth of the sunlight 
And the calm of darkness, coolness of the night 

Silver clouds floating high and drifting
In the sky, distributing rain, snow, and news 
To quench the thirst  of every life facing 
And secure them  happily growing 

The wind  is playing longing tunes 
For fairness, justice, the yearning 
For quality  and gracious life to come 

Nature is indeed charitable  to everyone
Sharing rains and dew  evenly to each land 
Sunbeam is also assigned with the same lines 
Chaining up sincerity and honesty hearts
And flowing streams of warmth  hand to hand

The wind  rises, and white clouds  wander
They are guarding  no one in the earthly world 
Wiling to act against the provisions of nature

They are spreading the news of the future 
That Heaven will arrive behind a United World
 And the charming visions will emerge
Before, lives are going to live forever

Highschool

yea I’m in  high school living daily by the rules while the others are 

doing stuff that they think is cool they always claim the teachers are 

cruel but really they are just trying to help us young ones make it 

through some kids run from the truth due to the life they have been put 

through some parents don’t give a crap or two but some blessed

deny the fact that parents are there to see you through I’m writing 

this verse from me to you some kids raised in the ghetto have a 

place where morals don’t fit in their schedule all you have to do is 

is fight to strive for anything you believe and be wiling to achieve

willing to succeed you just have to believe you can whoever you 

want to be we shouldn’t play with our grades like it’s a game but 

wanting our education to build into a career one day some of yall 

are focused on the wrong thing the ig and twitter names are  nothing

but a game  yall talk 24/7 about money, dope, and fame  but yall need

to focus on the right thing just put your mind to it and you can be 

anything  once again I say yea I’m just the average kid in high school

just trying to find my way

The Stripping Away

The fury of winter winds rip through the trees
Stripping away dead branches and scurrying the leaves.
It is a cleansing thing, this awesome, mighty wind
As it blows through the countryside again and again.

So like the Spirit of God in our lives
Is the final conclusion at which I arrive.
For does not the Spirit seek to blow clean
Those places within us, to all others unseen ?

So if we are wiling, He will have His way,
Delivering us from the self life every day.
But you must know, He will never stop there
For you will inherit from Him things He longs to share.

( Things from Him out into the lives of others)

Violet Grape Purple Envelope

As I sit gazing upon the unsympathetic clock.
Wiling away these last few dread filled hours.
Stirring my tea, or is it stirring me?
Confusion reigns.
My weary eyes plummet toward the newest envelope on the oak birthed table.
The Violet Grape Purple one, fore it is pregnant with the last love filled endowments of my now ex-wife.
Before when I had the guiltless luck to call her mine.
Or am I at fault?
Either way the staring envelope is all that reminds me.
Why did you have to come in the post just as I was forgetting?
Just when I was becoming too tired to care, about her presence in my bed , in my soul.
Reap me , tear me, but please don't remind me of her.
Wildflowers and persimmons the power in her laugh.
At long last I can stand no more, I gather the mocking, accursed letter and in a rush in a chair I alight.
By the fire I strain to throw you in.
I pitch back instead, hurtling down, down.
On the floor I weep.

Premium Member Whisper of Light

There is a soft, gentle light
Which inspires my heart and life
To reach beyond my doubts
Toward the dreams that I have
Deep within my soul, always alive
Dancing to the fires that reside
In my spirit, alight with desire
To discover the inspiration 
That comes from going beyond
Walls built by fear and discouragement

There is a whisper of grace
Peppering my muse with purity
Arising from knowing true love
Coming down to us from God above
Enlightening and stirring up the passion
Swathed in hues of sweet sensations
Which melt away the hardened edges
Of one who knows prayer is always 
Welcome, wiling to sooth away pain
And silence the fear that disheartens

There is a friend who lives in heaven
Who knows our worst grief and anguish
He listens to the pleas from His children
With a open ear and readiness to give
Answers which comfort the worst hurt
Easing all twinges of sadness with the
Joy that comes from His spirit’s guidance
The wisdom of knowing Him fosters love
That lives through any amount of weariness
And wakens the heart to true acceptance
