Just get my life

Hmm. Out of love. Out of order. Dry field
No green lawn. Walk on dry land. Unloved

Hmm. Unloved. Empty of love. True. Hmm
Hmm. Always was true. Never lie. Dark star

In the sky. Invisible, imperceptible desire
A dead hope, solitude, motionless, this life

Motionless restlessness. Without lust for life
But believe. A bit. In life. Need a

Premium MemberIf I Could Have Lived My Life

If I could have lived my life

Then this life is not mine. Not mine. Then this present has gone too far
I didn’t wait this time. Never. I needed the love. But that didn’t work

Doesn’t work the love? Unacceptable, my life? Yes. This is the reality
Solitude is the price for my independent life. I am paying

My time is vitally precious
I most jealously guard and protect it

Premium MemberMy Life Flickers

I am nothing and everything
To myself or someone else
Isn’t that concept something?

Moment to moment perspective shifts
Arriving blunt with charm and harshness
Challenging each step of the way

Anxiously hiding then fiercely defending
Mind numb then mind bending

Nobody sees me then all at once
Everyone sees me

How will I ever reconcile this?
I slip into nothing
Then I’m suddenly summoned for dependability

There’s a little log cabin, nestled by a big, fur tree.
It’s the place that my daddy built, before there was me.

It’s the warm cosy place, the place where I was born,
He made a little wooden cradle with carving to adorn.

The colorful wooden blocks daddy made when I was one.
He would pile then up for me

Premium MemberWhen My Life Changed

In a dreary mood, bent and broken,
With an ailment that crippled my life
I lay bedridden for many a month
With every muscle weakened by arthritis 
And every nerve radiating the pain

Dull were the days and sore were the nights,
Time slouched on in mechanical beats,
Mind devoid of any buoyant thoughts,
Senses shut to every cheery throb of life,
I

Premium MemberWhen My Life Changed


In the diaphanous domain 
of the sapphire serene night,
the drizzle of moon’s silver sequins,
defining the existential epithet 
of the dulcet melodic cadence, 
adorned the pearl-laced waves 
of the rolling sensuous sea, 
spread seamlessly before me, 
beyond the baroque shore, 
where I sauntered only with me
in the corridor of the musical mind, 
followed the tune of

Premium MemberWhen My Life Changed

Remembering what she used to be. 
How she could light the world ablaze without a second thought. 
Her words like daggers, always ready for a fight. 
Always wanting and waiting for the thrill of the adrenaline. 
Her feels numb, not even feeling the hurt of being used anymore. 
Was it the constant state of depression,

A CRACK IN THE SIDEWALK
Poem written for and submitted to “When My Life Changed” Poetry Contest, Kai Micheal Neumann, sponsor.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Early morning, sun dripping gold over weathered fences.
     I was running, feet rhythmically striking the pavement.

Then a sudden jolt, my foot caught in a yawning crack.

My life changed when suddenly Mom grew old,
the years had passed I was aware, too soon
the sunny afternoon became the dark
shadow of impending coil's mortal cold
journey underworld to the banks of gloom~

Premium MemberAll my life, my heart has yearned for a nameless dream

All my life, my heart has yearned for a nameless dream,
A longing as deep as the ocean under a starry, boundless sky,
For in every heartbeat, I feel the echo of an unfinished song,
An ancient call, like a wind whispering the secrets of the sea.
Day by day, my steps have followed paths unseen by others,
Searching among

Premium MemberIf My Life, Where to Fly?

If my life were to fly?

Then can find a lover, the soul just flies, two is one, be us
No partner, no mate, no open gate from my life, just a life
The rusty key is lost. Can’t open. No lock. You. Loved off

My life was to fly, to your crown, my age. Dry wreath dry
I loved

My Life story

Whom are you following and pleasing, and bowing
Jesus, Jesus, we call, proclaim as spiritual beings 
Read the Bible that shows our actual level of living 
Rented in a worldly habitation, owns nothing 
Pride within destroys the inner spirit prevailing
Self-righteous judgment is a scheme of the devil confronting
 
God of peace compels us to seek peace
Love
