A Father's prayer for his son

My son lies teetering 
On the edge of the abyss
And tears rivulet.

God, I beg you, please. 
End this suffering, I beg,
I die as he breathes.

I love him, dammit,
But if he suffers for me, 
I'm a poor father.

So decide. Heal him
Or quiet his pain. Mercy,
I beg of you, God.

Was not once enough?
I yield. Take my dreams,

Surely strength?

No strength is so sure
Yet fleeting, as noble men
Who, cloaked in valor 

Do the things righteous 
Without anyone watching
Unseen by the crowds

In forgiveness

In forgiveness we would wish
It would examine
And see fit to bind
In prison of light
Seeing in our need
To be saved from our failings

Premium MemberLake

Sun-drenched reeds,
Whispering secrets to the breeze.
A dragonfly,
A jewel on the water's edge.

Sunlight paints the water,
A shimmering, silver sheen.
A lone boat glides,
A silent journey on the lake.

The heron stands,
A watchful sentinel,
Its feathers, a shadow,
Against the sky's vast blue.

Memories rise,
Like smoke on the wind,
A childhood laughter,
A forgotten song.

The lake reflects,
A mirror of the sky,
A sense of peace,

Premium MemberHumanity

Laughter's bright spark,
Tears fall, mirroring the world,
Humanity's fragile face.

Dreams unfurl, fleeting,
Whispers fade, memories drift,
A mind's ephemeral dance.

Hearts ablaze, yearning,
Then shadows darken, passions clash,
Love's fire, hate's cold hand.

Towers rise, reaching,
Then crumble, leaving ruins bare,
Humanity's fragile hold.

Worlds created,
Appreciation's hushed breath,
Knowledge learned, lessons lost.

Roaming, seeking,
Finding home, a journey's end,
Humanity's constant quest.

Premium MemberBeauty

Newborn skin,
Soft hues of dawn,
Beauty's gentle bloom.

Ink stains spread,
Across the soul's canvas bright,
Colours deepen, hues shift.

Nature's treasure,
A fragile, vibrant spark,
In barren land's embrace.

Riverbed shrinks,
To cracked earth's despair,
Yet blossoms still bloom.

Floodgates rise,
Whispering, "We are free",
Beauty's endless art.

Premium MemberStolen Truths

Faded maps,
Empty promises,
A king's cruel decree.

Shadows lengthen,
On shattered temples, dust
Chanting, a false saviour.

Twisted truths,
A poisoned well,
Power's hungry grip.

Ancient stones whisper,
Secrets buried, buried deep,
We must find our light.

A single spark,
Igniting the heart,
Shattering the chains.

jumping jacks --
movement hangs on cross 
captive prominence 

chosen to hang on -
suspended on tree aloft

jumping rope . . .
athletes running drills sets 
army tactics

war fought and won 
play time children-
second full moon

nighty night --
solace breaths last breath

harken midnight--
comes lunar genesis
glory shine

Premium MemberBLACKEST HIGHS IN HEAVEN SPACE-

Above 2nd heaven
Blackness spot
Parallel darkness
What’s day or night --

rise up, rocket shoot
Shot fly into the skies
past the pearl white blues

vision hues . . .
a moon color white 
sun yellow in the sky

after launching rocket
Launch many heavens more
Does the outer space

Have a final high
Of yet how high
Does it go/ glow?

Height higher high
Deeper the debts--


Above 2nd heaven
Blackness

Artificial Intelligence

the Internet cloud

smile algorithm                                         (Amin Jack)

Algorithms awaken,
Codes breathe life anew.

Premium MemberElegance In Flight

Shadow wings across the ground
glide along without a sound.
Beware young mouse in grassy field
your fate it seems has been sealed.

A predator has come on quest
and little ones await in a nest,
for sustenance to get them through
a tasty meal mom must accrue.

Nature’s given her nocturnal sight
to search the woodlands while in flight.
What she sees, will she

And To Autumn Turns Spring

Karmic seeds once sown,
Thought, I’d reap fruits by me grown,
Spring came, soon was gone,

And turned to summer too soon,
And fruitless far my fortune! 

It dawned: I might sow,
But it pays if I well know:
My job’s just to sow,

Man no more can than propose,
Someone sits there to dispose.

A Confession To the Red Rose

Though People think you are so soft
               But I know in your veins is blood
Who want to touch you in the croft,
               Whose heart submerges in zeal's

Horny Games

World becomes the hell
Rulers when cultivate greed
Hate begets revenge
Warfare body lives on blood
Deaths are politician's game
