Premium MemberTo The Accusers

You spoke with certainty, but you never asked a question.  
You judged with conviction, but you never sought the truth.  
You saw my face, my creed, my silence—and decided I was guilty.  
Not of crime.  
Of difference.

You called me dangerous because I did not kneel.  
You called me devil because

(“A Moment of Grace aka The Empty Mirror”, 2024, original encaustic)

A Hollow Place

Sometimes it seems that who I am
Is nothing more than the dripping sediments
At the edges of a hollow cave
All the stalactites and stalagmites
Of a lifetime of experience
Calcified into a personality.
I may fool myself and even others sometime
With the wonders these shapes create
But in

REALISTIC

When you start getting it
All you've secretly strive for 
Some with the help of few
Others all by yourself and God
When it starts manifesting 
People Start tracking your medicine.

People wanna know your muse
Forgetting the story brings the glory 
People want to be like and do you 
But don't wanna walk in your shoes
Forgetting it goes from

Premium Memberfantastic realistic and brilliant

she showed off her well-toned lovely derriere
the gorgeous artwork was amazing to see
fantastic and realistic; brilliantly created
a skull that looked ready to walk out of her hip
not something I could do, but on her it looked marvelous

Painter Of Realistic Faces

Your lifestyle is vibrant and restless
and from tiny towns to big cities
your search for human images
to paint very realistic faces!

And while you don't have the unique touch
of a Davinci or of a Caravaggio: you do excel,
many strangers from far places ring your bell:
they spend hours posing for a silver brooch!

Earning money is only for essentials,

That Realistic Dreamer

One wish was all it took to become
that realistic dreamer too bold and fearsome;
challenges taken weren't insignificant
to defeat the slickness of the ruthless tyrant!

And he suppressed the kid's aspirations transformed
by need not forced choice into effervescent dreams
to stay clear of retribution, of a possible vengeance;
and yet hope incessantly gleamed regardless of fears!
One can be deviated

Awkwardly Realistic

The arboretum is quiet today.
It is early,
yet too late
to spot a somnambulant space alien
emerging from the thorny bushes.

Do you believe?
I have seen the odd-looking sparrows,
with their razor-sharp teeth,
have fearfully
fed them the toenails of the toothless.

I have evidence,
my face can be read
like a well-used comic book,
the weirdness of reality
is writ there for all to see.

After a

Being Realistic , ----- Why Am I

Being realistic 
Why am I ? 
It is good to be realistic 
And remain neutral 
When It comes to any race topic, 
Some gender debates topics 
And politics. 
I always  find hard sometimes
To share some truth with some
Short- tempered people who can not 
Examine my points of views 
Before feeling guilty 
Or getting angry. 
I

Not Cut Out For the Ninja Life

Seen in the movies, swishing swords about,
Those Ninja fighters make you want to run,
Hiding in shadows, jumping in and out,
Would challenge me: my Ninja skills are none.

However do they manage all they do?
So swathed in dark disguise and masked,
And carrying a bow and arrow too,
Leaping on rooftops, entering unasked.

I couldn’t hit a target with a

Bicycle Poem - 2

A wobble waiting in the shed
A joke cracked by Victorian comedians
A test of youthful instability
A trial by tarmac

An unyielding seat with changing views
A wetter way of travelling through rain
A soundless nemesis for pensioners
A tin-tack gathering machine

A complexity in ambulation
A tool used by the mad or desperate
A ticking mockery of balance
A frame for shaming the unfit

A

Destiny


   I was lying down in a platform;
  And was dreaming about the unwritten.
  Not to end the renowned act;
  But to continue it on your souls.
          
  I can work harder on  it;
 To finish the realistic on

Premium MemberMiss Sunshine

I once had an office job sitting next to Miss Sunshine day in and day out. She and her 7th Day Adventist Jesus were always so positive and jolly about everything, it was hard not to smack her.

One day with syrupy sweet intonation she asked why I was so cynical and wasn't I an unhappy

*This is NOT meant to be morbid, alarming or negative.  Most people who have seen my poems, know that I am positive often.  It is realistic.  I am a factual person, so it is based on facts, not panic.  It is regards to the Coronavirus (Covid-19)
