Forever sealed inside
Timeless you once said to me
standing on golden sands distant horizons met
This world of ours has no ending
living oceans murmur inside breathes
within memories in those that salt cured
They are the gathering dust blown away
bleached white the remains become fossils of a bygone day
in memory of each waking hour thanking God for

I Just Killed A Man
There lacks no fear in death,
?No pain in the grave.
?The pen is mightier than the sword,
?I just killed a man.
?
?There lacks no pain in the heart,
?There lacks no tears in the eyes,
?But the pen is mightier than the sword,
?I just killed a man.
?
?The pen bleeds ink, a river of regret,
?As I sign my name to

My life, a sealed manuscript, buried under layers of mystery
My life, a sealed manuscript, buried under layers of mystery,
She arrived like a key of light, revealing hidden treasures,
In its unwritten pages, immortal stories awaited to come to life,
Calling a soul to read them, to bring them from shadow to dawn.
Now, she opens each line with her gentle breath, bringing rebirth,
Breathing life into this forgotten

Letter Sealed Kiss
Tartaric acid rain of the lost calligraphy
Peels to melt the running emotions
Drains clog beneath dynasties
Commerce to no one in seas
Pourtant je vois ceasefire
See a spark of defiance
Harlequin of belle dame misery
Catatonic brutality ends within me
Phantom of these nigh-mares
Shriek away stares orbs no retinas
Telltale sen em bras lambent
Am I dying nevermore
Mourning my own demises gavotte masquerade
Is

Years sealed
Hold on I got some things you want to hear so listen up while I make it clear
We started out as friends now we're lovers
From the gate you had your feelings undercover
Hesitant for them to be discovered
Til one day you let go of the fear
Letting go of the wheel you let

Blank For Poetry
Blank for poetry
For the first time, I’m blank
No poetic rhythm
or vocabulary connoisseurship
Just plainly and utterly blank
I’m searching and scouring
Not finding the right words
Or any words at all
I’m just...blank
Maybe that’s what this does to you
This way of being deliberately broken
With such a piercing pain
it echoes through the shards of sobs
As I

A Sealed Soul
Written: October 12, 2023
Cinquain Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Ink Empress

Guile gust
I grasp your gasp
goad grafts gently glowing
the gray grove greenery growing
glean grace
Skies Straight
I snared your sight
Schizoid swing of Steward
sewn souls spewing

The Book of Revelation's 144,000 Sealed From the 12 Tribes of Israel Part Three
The Lamb and the 144,000 chapter fourteen
Than I looked, and there before me was the Lamb, standing on Mount Zion,
and with him 144,000 who had his name and his Father's name written on
their foreheads. And I heard a sound from heaven like the roar of rushing
waters and like a loud peal of thunder.

The Sealed Box
The box arrived sealed.
In my heart, I know what it holds.
I open the box with anticipation,
Knowing I've waited all my life for this.
I look inside,
I see books.
My name is embossed on the cover,
As if it were a dream,
With the words "Voices Of My Heart."
I held it up with one hand,
Kiss it with such love,
All my

Sealed Lips
One whose lips seals:
Do so at meals.
Don't out things reel;
Try to face feel.
It looks not ideal,
either you real...
Is that O Neal,
Who can't lips seal?
Watch it at meals;
With pepper deals.
Who can't lips seal:
Please, let wounds heal,
Big laughter peal;
Peace Mankind feel;
Strike The Christ's Deal...
Glance I steal
At Eyes of Steel.
They crush like wheel
And could flesh peel;
On yours

Special Gift
A while ago, my heart was sealed,
Believing no man could keep it safe;
Deceitful minds have been my plight,
Understand this and know it’s been tough.
Little did I know of fate’s secret remedy,
Reviving me with its pleasant dose;
A day’s encounter unsealed my heart,
Zero morale zoomed up to the zenith.
An Edo man has made me laugh out all

Sealed With a Kiss
"sealed with a kiss"
I wear pearls you gave me
but they are not my jewels
I accept flowers you give me
but they are not my beauty
I look to the stars above
but they are not my light
pearls flowers and stars
are all pale compared to you
your love is more than this
always sealed with a kiss
