Reflectance Poems | Examples


Premium MemberWhat Is Poetry

~Reflectance of the freedom,
  of expression of one’s heart and soul.
  Standing against the false reflection,
  of the tyrant dominating requirements,
  of one’s derivative mind control.

~For the mind’s effort to be brilliant,
  of itself, only reveals it’s own ignorance,
  in the face of love’s wisdom,
  being only derivative of love fact!

~A simplistic Native American proverb,
  Within each of us are two dogs fighting.
  A bad dog and a good dog!
  Which one will win the battle?
  The one persistent enough,
  to devour the other!

~One Power,
  two dogs fighting.
  One seeks to build life of love’s nature.
  The other a parasitic version,
  fashioned after the tyrant mind’s domination!

"the Antidote of the Zephyr"

Tonight I lie here on this prairie,
Covered with a blanket of stars.
Consolin' my hurt heart so weary,
Lickin' opened wounds an' scars.

Your relinquished Love forces acceptance,
Vanity has forced behavior.
Memories force reflectance,
Grief felt sorrow my only savior.

Ridin' this line repairin' fence,
My thoughts randomly insane. 
From the day you left ever since,
Experienced never before such pain.

Moonlit stars reflect your smile,
The suns rays melt away my hurt.
Ahead the line disappears in miles,
The thaw soaks my bandana an' shirt.

Deceased dreams consume thoughts an' speech,
My frailty nourished by anguished throe. 
Our sacred vows you abandoned an' breach,
The prairies' zephyr my antidote, I trow.
