There once was s girl,
Everyone said was crazy and it was all in her head.
She mY have been going out of her mind.
Dazed and confused like ships
In rhe night, the girl thought she kost her mind.
Nowhere to go and nobody to see,
The girl and her ship were drowning at sea
Everyone pointed and laughed
As the life boar floated by,
Helpless the girl and her ship sank to the bottom of the sea.

Empty streets,
Naked trees,
Flowers,
Sighing,
In rhe chill autumn breeze,
With some gypsy ladies,
Dancing a salsa dance,
In a field of sunfliowers,
Surreal waves,
With windswept kisses,
Empty canvases,
And benches,
Waiting to be filled,
With hues and innovative styles,
A hymn hummed in a mango vineyard,
By an enchanting lady,
Tambourines and harmonicas,
Filling the cafes,
Miracle of beauty,
Miracle of you,
Miracle of rain in her damp hair,
Miracle of a poem read,
A kiss shared,
A song sung,
Miracle of nightingales,
Having evening daydreams,
With cabaret ladies playing violins,
In their translucent robes

When you think of flowers
blooming you think of the
stages they have to go through-
toget to the point of being
admired by rhe world, even
captivating a lover's eye-
as if it is waiting to be plucked and cherished eagerly.
But the ones I cherish
bloom in my heart. You planted
them there so unexpectedly.
From a seed, you planted an idea.
From a sprout, you guided me to reach
towards the sky. You water
me daily, feed my soul, nuture my
sprouts- encouraging me to
grow strong and tall.
And when I am resilient to
all weather conditions-
I bloom.
I transition into the best version of myself.
And when winter comes and
withers me away- I come
back again, each version better than the last.
You are the curator to the
garden of my soul- I will
always appreciate your decision to choose me
to plant as your beautiful garden.

Sometimes we try very hard
To erase our past and
Even our past self from that past
But no matter what we do
It always leave the marks behind
No matter what thought
And emotions I use as an eraser
But i am trying now to look forward
Beyond that page of my life
Now i feel like rhe life is like notebook
Not the page what I use to think about
Even though we can't erase the marks
We can look forward to new pages
That is blank and waiting for the story
That we write into it .

Twas no use…neither to love, nor care,
She wept, as briskly out the door, he went.
That thunderous night, crashing bolts of lightning
from God’s tent were with His love sent
But she heard Him naught, just in rhe flashes
of electrical blue light, wept and stared!
Like other women, she thought love lasted and
men were faithful for all time.
You will read many a write like that here.
Crying women, so afraid, that without
that “one” man, they have life to fear.
It is but a hapless case of a lying cuss.
Who lied, so stop the tears, life’s sun is out!

Barefooted as I walk through the streams of life water surrounds my heel foot my toes compelling as I am drenched my ankles hold the weight of my body I stand vertical with my life virtue my heart's aflame my soul is swimming within my inner self my spirit flies it no longer listens it has come through the windows of my eyes oh Mystic Waters flown Downstream Covenant am I that's my Celestial being reaches out from my inner self Gathering my completeness I am a lost yet I walk in the Stream I start syncing I took my eyes off of the prize I am sinking I can't swim because I'm falling beneath the surface I can no longer see my feet but yet someone else's feet bronze different color purple Renaissance for you see the stream no longer there nothing but dry land I am being carried by the Savior

Flowing in all directions of life
I see myself in your eyes
Sorrounded by that aura of might
You are rhe life of mankind
With your calm, soothing tides
Comes a feeling so strong
Making us whole once more
Deciving us as you walk
The RIVER
You never dry up, always full to the brim
And i swear i just saw you grin as i fell to your command.
Giving life to the broken
And taking it from those who had it
You are flawless
You break us to make us
Give and take. I always
Knew you were the GOD
Of mankind
And know i see you for
Who you really are

Early morning raindrops on my window pane.
They mimic my tears dops softly rolling down my face.
The dark skies represent the suffering that is in my
heart.
Cold air in spring is the response to my pain.
Joy is a gift that is eternal.
Remembering this I beginn to hear the birds outside my
home singing a delightful melody.
I graciously say that I appreciate this day.
Love a treasure that holds me back from bitterness.
Grandma's wise words of forgiveness soothes the hurt.
The humility of a sloaths movements disputes my anger of being laughed
at while in the struggle.
Seeing rhe future ahead clears my eyes.
Knowing there is one who will never leave me
secures my steps.

So lovely,
Yet, they vanish stealthily,
Truly, hurtfully.
Excuses are made,
Your heart weeps in rhe shade,
A raid on you, made.
So gullible,you,
Thought you had a good friend, too,
You, alone, not two.

Today and for the past three days,
the clouds are crying.
Thick opaque rain,
soaking the earth and the souls of the people,
hidden behind the windows.
Forests and eaves of roofs hiding drinking
whisperers and songbirds,
woods, in the cold wind,
carefully guarding the secrets
of both birds and people and the city,
while waiting and hoping for the best.
And she, my Amy
hasn't called in a long time.
He's not with me for an hour.
I wonder where it is,
and whether the woods and
eaves of crooked houses,
along with the birds,
when the clouds stop the tears of heavenly eyes,
will keep secrets, about us.
He shared all his secrets with the birds of this city.
So when this stops, we will sing in chorus.
About our sweets and secret mischief.
Let the city know, for my hidden treasure,
Rejoice
And the sun and the hidden birds
whispering and the singing birds
somewhere in the treetops and under the eaves of the houses,
And the people ...
Let's sing together go to Amy
Celebrating the perfection of love.
Rhe magical bites of beauty within us.

From the bottom of my heart,
through the windows of my eyes
I send vibrations to everyone,
to all corners of rhe Earth,
for all continents ...
message of love, of tenderness
of faith ... do you know why?
Because it's Christmas time ...
Time to live tenderly,
to live in peace and humanly,
with tenderness in our eyes and tenderness
in gestures ...
Christmas, Jesus is born ...
Jesus Christ the savior ...
Holy time ...!

The Builders
A team of architects blew a big hole
on a mountainside and built a housing block
of 14 floors tall.
The country had a northerly wind often called
Stalin´s revenge, it even made summertime chilly.
The block faced southward and had big windows
and a mirror system giving light in all rooms.
The edifice was given a name, Joe Biden and it is
a matter of time he is given a Nobel peace medal
Not for what he has done, but since he is not Trump
and Facebook has made him a saint.
There is always a but a mountain is not a dray it drips
And the mountain´s hole was damp, the white building
Turned mouldy and green and not a place for the asthma
sufferer became ill the air-conditioning had to be on
all-day, that is expensive and didn´t live up the belief,
The hope of a wonderful world.

Enormous eggplants peppered her Easter hat.
They were a bit heavy, but purple and exact.
However did you find them, and what fun!
The old biddies said, when they saw her in the sun.
Why thank you, she said, pleased as all get out.
Her children had gone on, one with a little pout.
They were dying their eggs, with dye all over their hands.
They were playing their tubas, in their Sunday noon bands.
Rhe sat in the gazebo in her lovely dress of green.
She was the loveliest ghost many had never really seen.
Her delight was apparent, biddies gone away for now.
Her dancing was beautiful; her face was a wow.
She was the best dreamiest dream I had ever had.
She was big and beautiful, buxom busy and bad.
She was her own person, danced to drums of long ago.
Prancing into my head and she did not move slow.
Where did you find her? The fuddy duddies soon asked.
Hilarious, and funny, in her humor I basked.
She’s part of my imagination, I claim her as my own.
So naysayers, go away, you are not part of this poem.

Kiss me.
Kiss my lips on in the no man's land between warring trenches.
Roll me in rhe barbed wire killing fields among the mud and the mines.
Hold me until the smoke clears.
Kiss my eyes while we are enclosed the bones of an abandoned church.
Nuzzle my neck among the whispering dead; the tombs and headstones of those who fell before we did.
Hold me until the fog clears.
Grip the swell of my hips in a fox hole full of shrapnel.
Shout my name into a sky full of searchlights.
Write your vows in the breaths between bullets.
Tell me you'll love me forever on a desserted beach full of crushed sea shells in the middle of February
