Premium Member Entrapment, on Bob'

Reporter advised do not go.'
On whats already known.'
Known to rile; big Bob Katter
Yet he pushed it hell for leather.'
Pushed it right back to Cloncurry
Seventy years blurred..To Bob in school
It was not funny.'  I'd say here i'm on the
Money.)

Premium Member Opening the heart chakra

When we say, ‘I am’, our hand goes to the heart,
signalling it represents seat of our soul,
which drenched in God’s love deems no one as apart.
To open the heart is our very first goal,
without which in truth soul’s life quest cannot start
but the problem is, ego is in control 
and so animal instincts as yet prevail,
with thoughts orbiting dark desires that assail.

The heart is all love and love employs no force,
so it’s only by free will that we can choose,
to make our touch gentle and change our life’s course,
heeding voice of conscience, repaying our dues,
atoning in silence and feeling remorse,
praying like a child till love begins to ooze.
Heart is the centre of our chakras seven;
God dwells deep within, so take it as heaven.

Opening The Door

You speak from the depths of your soul,
Of all the things you say you can't let go,
But my sweet loving man, I want you to see,
Opening your heart is actually setting you free,
Revealing instead of holding it inside,
Allowing yourself to release all that you hide,
The pressure that pushes your heart away,
That keeps things hidden away that prevents you from change,
Because let's be honest, change means letting down your guard,
And the ego constantly will fight against your heart,
But once you start to open the door.. the most beautiful thing happens, you start to see more,
You give of your heart, you start to relate,
And then others release their bondage because they see your faith,
Love starts to grow where weeds once lived,
Because you were willing to open your heart and give,
You gave a sense of safety where fear once resides 
And in doing so God replaced the fear with love inside,
To give of yourself more, to give again...
Against the fears of this world.. love wins in the end


Premium Member opening the gate to my dog pen

Hypervigilant are both dogs
Fat and juicy, built like farm hogs
They are in a huge pen with plenty to do
Do they know that I, their gatekeeper, is watching them too?

I am vastly aware how fast they are
As I open the gate, not far from a car
Being knocked down by the front gate
Is pretty often now my fate

OVERTURE poetrix




            slowly your soul
  opens into petals when I touch you
          just like a red rose

The Opening Bars

You know how certain songs can grab you
Once some notes are played?
Your ears perk up, you start to smile -
Attention must be paid!

When that occurs, your mind demands
You get to hear the rest
And if you can’t, you hum that tune
As if you are possessed.

This morning, someone passed me by
And from her ear buds came
Those seven most familiar notes
One musical can claim -

The opening of “Hamilton!”
And what a lovely perk
To listen to that upbeat score
While heading off to work.


Premium Member Opening

gathered ‘round the table
smiles match, a kinship
develops in an instant
when Trust makes an entrance
dressed in fiery blue
souls warm then weave together
our differences subside
as Trust sits down to dine

Premium Member An Opening

No human venture reign o'er nature's craft
of snuggled boughs transcend, amid a spawn
quandary mist, ... in its wake afar drawn 
out kiss, in dawn's rise, amends of soft draft
weaving loosely, threads strung in an air shaft
that untangles the roundabout, anon 
tethering creation, that hope ... is on
horizon's touched beaming flows from life's raft.

A spectrum cast shared wavering, ideal
longing gifts passage designer imprint
patterned tapestry divine, hail freedom
drop spills, lifts splash, sowing ... growing appeal
anticipant, of Heavenly blueprint
came a-calling, was a man called, Adam.

Opening Up

My soul was suffering
I was laid bare of all I was
Or could be
I took on the world but couldn't fit it all in my chest no matter how hard I pushed
I was opened up
My pain gave birth to a river and flooded it's banks
They say what hurts you blesses you
I have been baptized in my own blood
It wasn't a gift
What am I giving you if it's all overflow
We never ask for anything
All I ever wanted was to feel your hands searching the dark for mine

Premium Member Opening up

Opening your heart and your mind will also open your eyes to see the beauty you've been missing

Premium Member OPENING DAY

The anxious crowd Gathers
Slowly anticipating
The grand opening

A bud trembles
Dew drops shiver
A late sun
Unlocks the stage door

A gentle hum builds
Slowly petal fingers open
To unheard applause

A chatter of sparrows
A distant hoot
The muffled cooing
Of doves

Crimson capes
Opening to nature’s suitors

opening

bubbling blackening putrefaction
   completing the first stage
        decomposition of prime elements
      gray matter decay
   decay of prime matter
      what matters is that you save nothing
    transmute
       analyze existence
release
        infuse the prime matter

Premium Member Opening My Third Eye

As I open my eyes as I go through even further,
I see through all of their lies as I enter the ether.
I awaken to the truth being we can all live together.

Premium Member Hot Job Opening for a Single Portuguese in Spain

  The Head of Spanish Geese
    couldn’t find a single Portu-geese

  Even the prettiest of ‘Pretty Pleases’
    Couldn’t persuade those geeses
                     ~ to renew their visas
