Meets Poems

Premium MemberWhere the Pacific meets the Coast

The beach climbs are harder
the rocks turn my feet
and I find myself walking on my ankles
wading through sand

But the photos at sunset
or as the moon rise
are such a surprise

Like paintings
like fine art
witnessing the beauty of nature
as it shows us all of the basis for inspiration
everywhere

The sea air is so refreshing
the tang of salt
its cool crisp

Premium MemberWhen Time Meets Light

Snow prevails in the realms of Otherworlds, 
And moonlit mortals imagine light flight.
Bright pink faery orbs float and dance upward,
Spirals in song producing bright delights.

At times, thought considers the other side.
Dreaming in the moment bestows lessons.
A flame amplifies the insightful mind,
And we learn to breathe in our own heavens.

The depth of the forest brings us

When the west Indian met her ideal east Indian man,
She went through a string of more than several Indian lovers.
Decided he's the one she refuses to string along.

Premium MemberWhen Boy Meets Girl

So much can change so quickly in a life.
Love is the path, not a destination…
When feelings become thoughts of “man and wife,”
It takes blood and tears, and perspiration.

We think this might be where we’ll always be,
As peaks and valleys make us whine and groan.
The road ahead is truly hard to see
But hardships lighten when you’re

Premium MemberPunch-Drunk Poet Meets Chandelier Chin

With nothing but a jawbone, I
unhinge the night, let silence die—
book of broken psalms, toothless songs
of what was right, of what went wrong
beneath the hush of watchful sky.

No prize, no game, no lullaby—
just marrow's oath and blood gone dry.
I didn’t mean to last this long
with nothing but a jawbone.

Still, blood remembers how to lie,
to shape

Golden Shovel Meets Blind Goddess of Justice

… after Langston Hughes


You know how they do. They say that  
we run, that we fit descriptions, but justice  
ain’t blind, she just sees who she wants. Is  
it any wonder we hold our breath? A  
body ain’t a body when they label it a threat. Blind  
fold her, watch

Where the heat meets the flame


I don't care for love... 
don't care for much,
You've taken away everything...
with your filthy touch

I don't feel your pain...
though blood pours like rain
I'll meet you there...
where the heat meets the flame

These chains hold me down...
Bind me in place
This evil haunts me in my dreams,
with his stone cold face

Don't ever let

When black meets betrayal

She did everything she could 
And yet somehow it wasn't enough

She did everything right
Yet she still lost the fight

From the very first moment She was born
She was was Stripped of her voice 
There were complications with her mum
But before they could help she was gone
Her father was falsely imprisoned 
The child was silent
But there was

    Electricity crackles in the air

Love meets us where we are

and sees through

 Our disguises

Our guises

Our performances

Our nuances

Our expectations

Our innovations

Our convictions

Our contradictions

Our excellencies

Our inconsistencies

Love greets us where we are

Sees right through us

and does not run away

You, Mariana—deepest trench of my knowing  
   I call you by name not to possess it
but because it is the only prayer  
   I have ever known how to say  

You are the sea—each wave not an argument but a hymn  
   a hymn without

Premium MemberSANDY MEETS TINKER BELL



Oh, what a crisp, beautiful morning,
Surely this will be a wonderful day,
For every cloud that we will see
On our way, I’ll wish for a silver lining,
Designed just for you and me.

Adventure was nearing, I felt it in my bones,
I want Sandy to have an unforgettable day, 
Hey Sandy, did you see that Unicorn,
It was white

Hubris when meets her nemesis

Yesterday’s ours only to muse
On, the morrow, to win or lose.
To those not knowing this,
Time gives a passing kiss--
O it pays well today to choose.

Little Wolf met her namesake this week at Apache festival with her brother.
They were together all week, running from one booth to another
Can we keep him? She asked her father, a chief and her mother.
I will keep him at my house, offered her giving grandmother.

Little Wolf, wolves need to stay in their packs, and run
