The Rippled Effect
THE RIPPLED EFFECT
A doctor's failure lies in the grave,
A life lost, a soul from the cradle to crave.
A teacher's failure roams the street,
Uneducated minds, a future incomplete.
A lawyer's failure behind bars, rots in jail,
Injustice solely served, a life set to fail.
An engineer's failure crumbles to the ground,
Collapsed dreams, a structure unbound.
A chef's failure tastes bitter

Rippled Waves of Desert Sands
I replied to a comment on a poem I posted earlier today saying that this site has "become a place that resembles a boneyard or a desert where harsh winds blow." That's not the kind of poetry site that I find encouraging. There have been several incidents that took place in the last month that

Rippled Layers of Agate
I remember in her eyes the color of Christmas day
and the taste of melted butter in the early morning sun
The cadence of her voice the undertone sounds
of her silences, it was long ago
She was a matriarchal mountain of energy back in days
when her hair was red and her cheeks were pummeled pink

A Rippled Calligraph
Fold me in half
I’ve lost my backbone
In this old photograph
I’m carved in stone
A drop in the ocean
Black ink broke the surf
To write a poetry potion
A rippled calligraph

Love Rippled
Don't wake me from the dream, if this is a dream
Throne we shall sit, when we celebrate life after scar
Alone in my sanity more or less drives me crazy
Drone of the dark life has sunk me too far
Let me dwell and safe in your arm
Set me free from the bondage of tangled chain
Vignette of this

-rippled Stagnant Pools-
Ripples in stagnant pond
as circles of light
is absorbed by fern and frond
and as wave-lets are put to flight.
Ripples in stagnant pond

as radiance reflects upon
where creation entrapment walls are met.
Ripples in stagnant pond
as thoughts enmeshed
and extending beyond
to it's outer wall to be dashed.
Ripples in stagnant pond
wanting itself to free
from it's
