Respect!

When all things have been shattered abroad
How can puzzles come together like falling stars
How far can you look for the hidden piece
Did someone steal or take from me
The horizon I see the thief
and I call to catch him right now to be
Dealt with an honorable mention of standing still to see
No fear only the evidence of a miserable cow
No more milking and taking away my vitamin C
In a field to take what's not theirs
I would had even shared
Why care and offer sympathy
All I can see is the divine empathy
To walk away from triggering any past which was inside of me
Delivered and free
my puzzle still came together and I Am to be finally!

Premium Member Why I Weep

I'm named a willow tree and live in grace,
the whole of me distinctive in its shape.
My elegance well suits this lush landscape
of hillocks flung across the field I face. . . 
and gentle rills meander through this place.
In spring I don a long virescent cape
comprised of many supple arms that drape
to earth and, with Eve’s shadows, interlace.

Oh, countless times Sun’s flecked my every leaf
and Sky distilled her stars as night would creep.
Young lovers, though, have fled, their time so brief.
They used to spread a cloth to eat; then sleep
beneath me in my shade. They knew no grief. . .
Not privy to their destiny, I weep.

The Consciene of the World

The consciene of the world destructed today
the ballad of the war are playing on land and bay
The flames of violence of king Daksha going on the world
Sati and the Shiva, catastrophe of dance dancing hey.
Vishnu Muni, I know you, you ended catasthophe by cutting Sati
I am calling you, sinking in darkness, towards the world today
the world has became too hot to warm the heart like fire
please throw your wheel to stop the war I would like to pray.
Human race are playing in blood , the play of destruction
monsters are rulling on , they want to do evil thereon.
Pride of power spreads its net under the umbrella of violence
the fierce flock of sheep has made world as slaughterhouse in pain.
I wish to pray to have your grace to calm down the earth
human forgets their humanity, turns into giant,fall us in dearth.

In This Brief Moment In Time

In This Brief Moment In Time

Intriguing thoughts race within my hurried mind 
A moment of retrospect, perhaps lost in a memory 
Grappling with many strange emotions of all kinds
These memoirs I hold dear, echoes of my own story

In this brief moment in time

Light of day beams into my sleepy closed eyes
In the realm between reality or lost in a dreamscape 
Body quivers from the cold, dreaming slowly dies
Awareness slowly creeps into my mind as I awake

In this brief moment in time 

Memories of  past events forever lost in time
As I struggle with the voices within my mind 
As If the shadows of my soul would define
The answers to such queries I should find

In this brief moment in time 

The deafening quiet that envelops this room and my soul
Effigies of who I have become, in this universal womb
Of all of life’s lessons that may have taken their toll
Encased in all thoughts in my subconscious entombed 

In this brief moment in time 

Sitting alone with my thoughts, no aspersions to be cast
Confidence eludes me, too many questions that I ask
My mind races with the worrying mistakes of the past
To carry this burden I do is such a worrisome task

In this brief moment in time

Premium Member Come Now Sweet Memories

Come now, sweet memories, before you fade
shield me from the fear of losing faith
in the essences of that from which you’re made
come forth, if only in the guise of wispy wraith.

Oh past, do not deny me now a present sense
of fingers touching ever moistened lips
a touch that beckons me without pretense
into moments that time cannot eclipse.

These memories - the only gift I’ve left,
cold visions of a love I will not yield
for yielding would leave my soul bereft
alone with but the thought “our loving failed”.

Come now sweet memories – my dreams invade
surround me in the glow of love’s charade.

Albatross

A lbatross a wandering ~ the largest bird up in the sky
L ongest wingspan ever seen ‘twixt eight foot three to eleven foot six 
B reeding is the only time I'm touching down on terra firma
A ged sixty years or more with just one mate whom I adore
T o kill me, legends say, your life would end without a friend
R ejoicing mariners safe with me until their journey ends
O ver oceans I will soar whilst sleeping on the wing
S upernatural some believe, protecting oceans far and wide 
S oaring gliding elegantly an awesome sight when in full flight

Premium Member Laughing Buddha Wild and Free

Laughing Buddha with a tabby on your head,
You will be the death of me, the fern willow said.
All you do is extend ridiculous mirth and joy.
Even when under the influence of this weird boy.

The Laughing Buddha kept up his happy smile.
In many years, he had experienced those who rile.
He knew it was something unhappy entities do.
He would try to give fern willow joy before she was through.

The grasses began to taunt and tease him now.
They wanted to find out why and how.
The laughing Buddha kept up this crazy farce.
The cat jumped down, fell on his ****.

The whole garden was ablaze with curiosity.
What made this Laughing Buddha so wild and free?
He’s not alive, you nitwits, the banyan tree said.
You mean he’s deceased? You mean he’s dead?

They did not understand, so he let that slide.
He liked the Laughing Buddha; it gave him pride.
Don’t worry about them, he told his friend.
His stalwart love for this statue would never end.

All What People Say

I don’t know 
I just don’t know anymore 
Tears sting in my eyes
I thrive to release them 
But then all would ask “why” 
Signs and people 
Make me believe I’m doing something wrong 
But my heart 
That fragile pounding voice 
That bleak passionate emotion 
That thing that makes me who I am 
Shouts to me to let down my tears 
To shut out all thy people 
To do the thing that feels right 
To do the one thing I love more than anything 
Make people laugh, and smile 
Be there, just be there 
Supporting, believing, praying 
But then all would judge 
And the pureness would turn into guilt 
The guilt that would strangle me 
Strangle me into exhaustion and confusion 
And I would lie, hide, and change 
And people would notice 
They would ask “why” 
And I don’t want that 
Sometimes I wish if things weren’t things 
If words are easily done 
I wish if I could wake up 
Knowing every doubt and worry is gone 
Every ache, and asphyxiation mended 
But no 
The sun will come up again 
With every ray, there will be darkness 
With every hope it brings, shattered 
With every glee, agony will settle 
And we will shut it out 
With curtains and veils 
In the tears, darkness, and ache 
We were brought 
And in them we shall prosper

Mother

I wrote this for my mom since it's the anniversary of her passing today 

Today marks the day, my heart's heavy stone,
A decade has gone by, yet grief fills my heart even more so at home
Mom, I'm missing you more than words could ever say,
Every milestone, every memory, every second of everyday.

I wish you could've met Ethan he’s a King for shore,
Your love would've wrapped him tight, and he still would of loved you more.
I reminisce on robbed moments, celebrations we should of shared,
Memories that are incomplete without you there. 

ALS took you from me, a cruel, heartless fate,
Leaving me feeling lost and alone , a love and feeling that’s impossible to imitate.
I wish you were here, to help guide me through life's strife, my true compass, always steering me right to the light. Before you passed I used to think it’s darkest at night, but since I lost you I see that I wasn’t right. 
It's darkest in my head now that you’ve gone away. 
To share in joys, or even wipe my tears away.

In dreams and memories, you're still by my side,
A constant presence who saw right through me & All the pain that I hide. 
True love and acceptance you always did provide,
The Love we shared  nothing could ever  compare. 
Even though physically Im aware your not there,
I try to be like you, the best mom which no one can compare.
One day I’ll see you again that I have to believe.
When I look in the mirror it makes sense I see that you do live on inside of me.
When I look up at the sky I hope to see you there ,
Pain free and smiling keeping an eye on all of us from up there.

I'll tell Ethan stories of you're honesty, guidance and light,
The way you shone, like a star, on a darkest night.
He'll know your spirit, your strength through 
And though , even though you're gone, the mark you left was pure and true 

Today's a rough day, but I'll get through the pain,
Knowing you're watching over me, guiding me through life and all that remains, a beacon in the night,
Guiding me forward, until we met again

I love you mom,
I hope I'm making you proud  
????

Premium Member Troubled Soul

You took the time it took to notice Me
You said your troubled soul was plain to see
You held my hand and led me home at a time when I was lost
You laid yourself on water ...and I crossed

You laid yourself on water and I crossed
You laid yourself on water and I crossed
You placed yourself upon the line not caring of the cost
You laid yourself on water and I crossed

You picked me up each time life knocked me down
I thought these feet would never leave the ground
Each journey had it's price and it was you who climbed the cross
You Laid yourself on water and I crossed

You laid yourself on water and I crossed
You laid yourself on water and I crossed
You placed yourself upon the line not caring of the cost
You laid yourself on water and I crossed

I've looked to you to know what's right from wrong
And when the darkness falls and light is gone
You've kept the darkness from my door and saved me from the frost
You laid yourself on water and I crossed
