Rejoining Poems

Fragments

This life is but one 
of many -- 

for I am a many,
experiencing as one;

This love is all love
in one -- 
while greater love
is the many,
loving as one -- 

time is a certain time,
with innate memory of 
when time was timeless, 

as the soul re-forms for it yearns -- 

rejoining the many,

recalling all the many,

that the many~ is our blessed one --

Wild Birds Poetry Contest

He soars above the heat,
High above, sun’s right hand man,
Watching the mewling amateurs underneath.

His sight instills fear,
Though too high to steal a glance,
Where he navigates, his war cries they hear.

His vision recognises,
In a staggering second he dives,
Rejoining the chasm of sky and sea divided.

Cosmic Dance

Quick-witted, untamed, and carefree.
Earth, air, fire, and water—nothing scares me.
Every species is waltzing in an epic symphony.
A maze within a five-pointed star is a mystery.

We launch into the sky in a zigzag path.
Our limbs plead as if they had no lath.
With the aim of rejoining the cosmic dance.
To witness the vitality of our core stance.

The earth underneath us starts to swirl.
We're jamming while we whirl and twirl.
With each stride, we settle into a rhythm.
As we're pulled along by the cosmic prism.

Fire breaks down throughout our souls.
As we journey through the cosmic whole.
Life is a dance with an unending objective.
As our tasks in space start to blur, fictive

There is water everywhere around us now.
As we bear our peace with the cosmic vow.
At this time, we would wish to draw a bow.
Since our being is one with cosmic endows.

Always

You are always on my mind
You were a priceless find!
Life without you is a constant struggle
I so miss holding you close to snuggle
Our life together was for the ages
Our wonderful story is a book with countless pages
I know you're at peace in Heaven now
Rejoining you there is my solemn vow!

Beatified

Prayer without indemnity,
prejudice, or blame,
weaponizing Diety…
a dogma-based refrain

Through Him our Divinity
rejoining heart and mind,
to truly know Who reigns supreme
last sacrament defined

Religion like the training wheels
discarded when we we’re young,
to free the rider in the wind
—His spokes forever spun

The Calling

enchanting in her way, 
she beckons us to join.  
kissed by doubts sweet whisper, 
envisioning loss of certitude.
wandering, wandering, off; 
precipice to precipice, 
hungrily returning worried, 
lest one day we lose our way. 
caught in the vortex of our ache.
lost to the forest of rejoining.

life or death.
what you may think of it I do not know,
perpetual tug of war, 
relinquished never firmly nor complete,
for fear of irreversible defeat.
yet the hunger burns, 
the moth to candle’s flame returns.
it matters not the truths of which we know, 
enchantment will in halves continue grow.
and she will beckon call to me 
and I shall with reluctance go.

Quite a Start For Old Jb

Executive orders signing spree
  Quite a start for old JB

Killed off the jobs of myriad employees
  Put a chokehold on the oil industry

But in the name of his pitch for unity
  Lets look at JB's orders with impunity

Rejoining the 2015 Paris 'dialogue-ees'
  He's eased up on our good friends, the Chinese

Plus he's helped so many radicals smile with glee
  Like Ms. Omer, Ms. Tlieb, Bernie and AOC

Not to mention old pros like Schumer and Pelosi
  Now on to re-engage Iran, Obama's lose-lose strategy

Canceling rents and student loans in late February
  Open the borders ~ Here comes amnesty

I, Zombie, Part Ix: the Returning

Here I go again
Dancing the Monster’s fancy
Until the curtain

Final curtain call
Chancing all my sanity
Final curtain fall

I went off my meds
Let the Monster out instead
To control my head

Daemon’s back as well
He tells me drinking is swell
As far as I’ll tell

“Five o’clock somewhere”
Daemon whispers in my ear
I unchain him there

Inside this old box
This rude cube contains my brains
Chained and bound with locks

I know not myself
This thing becoming again
I’m damned; I’m in hell

Feeds on what it needs
The killer; the strangler
Of good thoughts and deeds

The mind re-succumbs
Becomes the Doppelganger
Bereft of life, numb

Zombie I've become
Again, like the living dead
Acting, not thinking

All willpower’s lost
Price paid, but greater the cost
Wind swept; tempest tossed

Back on the dread-mill
Mind rerunning the race lost…
Can’t keep my head still

The revisiting
Monster back on the attack
Nothing kills this thing

Daemon’s there as well
Rejoining the dance macabre
Going back to hell

Sinister turning
Echoes the words, “We are back”
Can’t stop returning…

My Brain's In Remission

My brain's in remission the last few days
Nothing creative has evolved, nothing out of the haze
Something needs oiling
Some pipes need rejoining
Needs to go to the shop to determine my malaise

Three Score and Ten

At our final moment when we leave all of this
And our loved ones are crying for one sorely missed,
In a heavenly light will angels descend
Then take us to heaven where suffering ends.

Or are we afraid, just clutching at straws,
Clinging to the hope that there is something more,
For if not then what, just the abyss
No guiding light no heavenly bliss.

Just part of a cycle from birth unto death
Rejoining the loop, as we take our last breath
Returning to atoms as flesh and bone rot,
Three score and ten, may well be our lot.

Depart As One

If you go first I’ll stomp and shout
I’ll be absolutely furious
I’ll rage and shut out the world
That’s for sure
But one day
I know I’ll come around
And actually be thankful
Because of the two of us
You always said I was the strong one
And because I love you
I would never wish
That bitter fate upon you
If we could not depart as one
For your sake better it be you 
I’m more equipped 
Or at least that’s what we think
To unleash my wrath
In creative ways
Hoping I’ll not permanently drown 
In the deep black hole 
Of eternal despair and anxiety
When all is said and done
I'd hope to delve in the pool of inspiration
As I cling to the hope
Of rejoining you
My soulmate
My love

Therapy Is the Art, Medication the Tool

Therapy is the art,
of placing what's in your mind and heart,
in front of you,
so you can see it clearly,
 from all perspectives.
Then you can act once again,
to heal yourself.
Lifting the veil of sadness,
from the shoulders of others.
Those who freely invested their spirits,
facing daunting odds, of finding you again.
Hoping you might find a way, to come back to yourself, from places unknown, and not understood.
Medication can be a tool,
rejoining the weakened and broken pathways of the mind,
torn apart by fear, hurt, 
and the losing of your way.

Lonely Hearts Cafe

She rounded up the lonely ladies from the building
Drove them for lunch at an outdoor terrasse
Dropped them at the entrance then circled and circled
Finally finding parking before rejoining the group
As she finally dropped in her seat letting out a sigh of joy

“What a most magnificent day!”
     
The old miserable bitties piped up in unison... “not bad”

Love You Realize

Sense of love you realize,
When lose the most special,
From your life;
Moments of tormenting wait,
Torturing loneliness;
Solicitous to rejoining close,
Sclerosis moments breath,
Teach the real meaning of love;

Desert Soul

Inhale the sage-scented breeze liaison
Jagged peaks’ sharp ebony silhouette
Crescent moon, Venus, ornaments of dawn
Crystal desert morning never forgets 

Afternoon visit, charged mind of the clouds
Thunderstorm downdraft, its cleansing ozone
Searing sun hides behind navy blue shroud
Embraced by your presence, never alone

Vermillion cliff sunset, eternity
Spirit of the wild, you are the portal
Stretching out to you, encompassing me
Melt, intertwine, these moments immortal

Rejoining the pack, reach inward to hold
Eternal caress of the desert soul
