Rumination Poems

New Sonnet 4 'Unlike a Spurgeon, I by dull words unfold'

Unlike a Spurgeon, I by dull words unfold
The limits of my Sarah's love for me,
But I realize that the rot and stink and mold
Are all within my mind, beneath my See.
There is no other person who can love
For me.  It is my duty and my joy.
It is the Truth that True Love is made

**Mental Rumination**
Every single day brings with it a new and unfamiliar word, each one carrying its own distinct meaning that often resonates with the shifts in my life. Retirement, for instance, has proven to be a profound transformation, especially during this initial year. I had envisioned a seamless transition, convinced that I had everything perfectly

Rumination

People with heavy minds
 They are of all kinds 
Yet all are entrapped with the same binds
They think and think more, Than they blink 
in few clinks, Of those binds.
How heavy of chains they bear
How dense and murk is their fear
 How they shed those blood-soaked tears.

From where can they find the courage 
To fight

How to save a Royal etiquette explainable when loyal rumination is not

To Royal Prince George and Royal Princess Charlotte

How to save a Royal etiquette explainable when loyal rumination is not?
In a supplicating interlocking prayer
I witnessed so many times , simplicity
Ode to divinity.
After all those are left, one by one
after asking me, "What we may do, for a room-u?"
I remained silent, as God speaks in hands, often.
We,

Repetitive thoughts drive
Ratifies depression
Rationalism leaves
Randomly they pop up
Return constantly~haunt
Rented a room in brain  
Rage incessantly-trapped   


A person who is depressed can't help this something hijacks part of the brain and makes it hang up in this negative state. Something is needed to throw a wedge in there to stop the constant repetitiveness.

Rumination

Rumination
Let your heart take around
Of the deep within you;
Let it dive into the memories
Fond and dry, deep and blue;
Let it search the unknown
You buried for the known;
It's the time to retrospect
And cry out your voice loud,
Because it's you who matters
Not because a lot you chatter
But to take the responsibility
And be the change,
For you could nurture

Rumination

The child looks back 
Then forward again
Into this deep black ooze
He has yet to sink

The mother squirms nervously
Fearing for her boy
Because he cannot yet 
Learn from past mistakes
More gift than folly
To be weightless and free
Yet untarnished 
By ruminating misery

The man he sits 
In a corner, in a ball
He can never forgive
That which he has done
A

A Rumination On Motherhood

Of all relationships, both ill and good,
In life, none are so deep as motherhood.
Some will say it’s simply procreation
Which needs no further interpretation;

As some point out, although it seems widespread,
Some species do not need it to be bred;
Or else that motherhood is only worth
Gestation’s term itself and giving birth.

Yet mother-love is more than urge to

Bless the deviled eggs and the preacher’s children.
Grab a piece of fried-to-perfection chicken.
Coca-cola cake or banana pudding?
