Musing Poems

Musing

I saw them paint the lake
watercolor
with her own water

My own blood made
beautiful 
Is all I can hope for

When Musing Becomes Music

In whispers of lyric and rhythm, we find,  
Resonate echoes, the heart intertwined.  
To contemplate in shadows, where thoughts softly steer,  
Soul steering moments, where dreams draw near.  

Dance in the twilight, let melodies flow,  
Listen intently, let the beat gently show.  
Hear the instruments weave their stories untold,

Premium MemberCreatives musing: no eyes

when I close my eyes
    everything goes unseen 
      life is honest 
    and soft enough for these dreams
      wildish winds in my mind
      breath of inspiration

Premium MemberMusing on De Niro

I saw something subtle, in Mr. De Niro
I get the gist Trump, is just not his hero.
He’s not a good fella, and not his godfather;
And was sure the election, would be a big slaughter.

Aperta  

All of my life
the window stayed open
The good and the bad
— beginning to end

If the message
doesn’t stick

Saturday Musing

Route 66

The death of the road
— the birth of a dream

(The New Room: April, 2025) 


Live More

If you’re light
on experience
your writing will suffer

Like clay
to the sculptor
— or drummer to the band

Premium MemberMusing on the Death Penalty

A double murderer
Shot before a firing squad
Justice or revenge?

An eye for an eye
So, the old law book conveys
Punishment for sin

Society’s way
To rid town square of wrongs
Yet, death row awaits

The hangman stands by
The masses don’t know his name 
Pulls the trap door latch

The cycle repeats
With no real decrease in crime
No one ever wins 

Justice will make

A musing

I wish my muse would cease 
For It wakes me when I sleep 
A poem would be fine 
But it's only one line 
A poem will take me all week.

Musing Myself

The vast sea of people
You look back for a moment
The vast sea of love
I have loved for a lifetime
Love, in the present time and space.

When challenge come
I make myself a priority
I call someone I can rely on
Go to a place to unwind
Breath sea breeze to refresh myself.

I love being spoiled
But not with gifts or money
I

Premium MemberMusing on Memories

Do some unpleasant memories fade away?
Or does the mind have a protective guard,
That, at times, locks the door to the past,
And shields the soul from agony's crush.

Do some memories serve as wise tutors,
That instructs the mind from time to time,
Lest the brain's library becomes forsaken,
Void of guidance for life's daily challenges?

Memories can plague the mortal

Musing The Sea

Sand erases stress
And the sea washes
Toxins of the soul. 

Calm down and go
To the beach
Or go to the beach 
To calm down. 

The ocean stirs the heart
Inspires the imagination
And brings eternal 
Joy to the soul. 

May you always have
A shell in your pocket 
And sand in your shoes.

Premium MemberUnshackled Musing

Freedom to think, freedom to give'
Can't pay for Love 
Why do we wrangle and sieve?

From scales, un-shown we'll never learn
Within prisons of opinions
Our sensibiltys so  burn.'

Offerings of idols, some eat it up.?
Oh so many ape and preen!
When will we see? We bought a pup?

Can humanity ever leave this shore?
On-load raise a sail strong and

Musing Lately

Let’s just say
with my husband now having heart troubles and my 
being old (& bedridden while waiting for my new prosthetic-leg) makes for on-going thinking, remembering, observing, reflecting, tentatively concluding, believing
how the ineffable ultimately rules…and one’s

language (for all its commanding need to be used with a true Love )  finds

Premium MemberMusing

She is sitting idle, pondering about life, 
thinking the aim is not just to survive.

Trying hard to follow the theory,
'live every moment and don't worry.'

She thought doing this would be very easy, 
thus judged those who were not exemplary.

But realized, like money, success doesn't grow on trees.
Have to look for new paths, opportunities to seize.

She
