Premium Member Almost but not quite
Having been, seen and so known, light of our true self full blown, although we know who we are, we operate below par. How much longer should we wait, to fully assimilate, this awareness all the time, mirroring heart’s bliss beat chime?...

Locked Inside
I’ve got so much to say, But my words don’t come out right. Thoughts stacked in my chest, Heavy, ready to fight. I try to speak, but I freeze, The words just slip away. I need to let it all out, But I don’t know what to say. I’m screaming inside, But my voice won’t break through. I just need someone to listen, To hear what...

Premium Member not quite turiya
bliss dewdrops sprinkled on our head signal we are by God’s hand led holding our soul in close embrace as we mindfully on earth tread steps toward heaven we retrace that here now we may see God’s face for tomorrow may be too late since ego we’ve failed to efface though strobes of bliss do not abate strangely uncertain seems our fate since our focus...

Not Quite What I Meant
My favorite sheets are cotton; One set’s yellow, one is blue. They feel as cool and crisp as they First did when they were new. They’re covered in fish swimming. (They are skipjack, I was told, Or at least what was described online From where the sheets were sold.) It recently occurred to me That when I go to sleep, Although I wish I’d stay...

A memo to my not quite lover
I haven't written in a while. I haven't felt the need. Or rather the motivation, The desire to not impede. I haven't felt love in a while. I wish you knew I might. Can you not see my pain? It appears my lover; Not quite. Love me?...

Premium Member As a poem, I'm quite unique
I'm just one poem among a hundred billion, to be followed, no doubt, by another hundred zillion. But what sets me apart - is that I do burp - I do fart - and, moreover - I take it all to heart....

Premium Member QUITE A PRETTY SIGHT
Sometimes when I look into a mirror…the image surprises me. On the one hand I’m sure the image I am looking at is me… But if I look a little closer I also see a hologram a visual representation of everything I am… I am the Earth, the sky, the oceans…the mountain and the trees I am every animal that...

It Never Quite Heals
Each and every day, I see her, my Wife. She looks out at me, her image captured, confined to the boundaries of a golden frame. A snap shot in time, when life, us together, held such promise, happiness, fulfillment. The tragedy of her death and the resulting devastation exacted upon me, crushing grief, sorrow and sadness, shall and does lessen, with times long passage. Though a broken heart, never quite heals....

Not Quite Written in Stone
Black, blue, red, and green, You can write whatever you please. But when you use a tool with no eraser, you run the risk of regretting it later. Please be careful, Because your fate could be determined by just one mistake. Let out your emotions, ...

Premium Member Quite a Stretch
Two young wrens sat on a wire side by side. Then one bird stretched her wings ever so wide. The other bird grabbed the tip of her wing, And she began to scream, poor little thing. Pulling much harder, he wouldn't let her go, But lost his grip when she moved to and fro. Angered and miffed, she flew to a...

Bed rotting’s not quite the right term this time
Found myself doing my damndest to sleep through the day again. Wake up, pull the wool over my eyes, block out the world, repeat. Certainly not a positive omen (what with Halloween and November 9th), so I force my eyes open, if only to scroll for an hour or two (anything to keep from slipping). There’s a man on my screen, dark...

Premium Member Quite Contrary
When quite contrary crashed on Mary And the pan hit Peter's head They found Humpty Dumpty and the over the moon cow Lying in the courtyard dead And when Mary's tuffet was bit by a Muffet The Incy Wincy spider ran Mary ran too, in fact, she almost flew When she saw the spider on...
