PS contests – self sustained muse,
Versatile mix to pick and choose.
Soothing lullabies by Eve
Swing us to childhood retrieve.
Kai’s round cube confirms the theme
That things are not the way they seem.
Unseeking Seeker holds his rights
For congruous aligned insights.
Tanja maintains incessant fun
By unrestricted bawdy fun.
You wish to know where poets go?
Ask Silent One, he ought to know…
Poets may go but poems stay -
To hearts and minds they find their way.
Not all place but all do win!
Smashing Salute to Spirit Spin.
And subsequently reassigned
To the last strand of our Brian.
Sponsors, though I have named a few,
I thank sincerely all of you.

Where do the nocturnal wild flowers grow?
In the darkest depths of my secret soul?
I’ve heard tales of blooms and how they glow.
As embers burn along a seam of coal.
In the darkest depths of my secret soul,
I’ll find myself if I dare to explore.
As embers burn along a seam of coal.
Self sustained and thriving forevermore.
I’ll find myself if I dare to explore.
This Moonflower was once a shooting star.
Self sustained and thriving forevermore.
The clearest sign of growth is in the scar.
This Moonflower was once a shooting star.
Two interstellar forms of one old soul.
The clearest sign of growth is in the scar.
Although, worlds apart they are somehow whole.
Two interstellar forms of one old soul.
I’ve heard tales of blooms and how they glow.
Although, worlds apart they are somehow whole.
Where do the nocturnal wild flowers grow?

Born perhaps with a special gene configuration
Every situation needlessly prompts my rash reaction.
Poise, the stable state of the balanced mind
Always takes an untimely flight evading me
Triggered by the discord in my self-sustained psyche
I react prematurely when I should be silent
Engaged in invited rows I've learnt bitter lessons
Now I realize and resolve, enough is enough
Time for me to be patient.

To claim heart's defeat with blind perception,
And burden the world with nurtured weakness.
To cry long with vanity's deception,
As though self-affliction is still blameless.
To bring a grievance, a contrived issue,
That pours from a soul possessed, where pain dwells.
To recall words an attack you construe,
As you rehearse the goodbye's and farewells.
Finding no honor with this cross you bear,
As it's built by your own hands to display.
This self-sustained discourse a cloak you wear,
To give comfort in your winter's dismay.
The birth of this pain an echo you brought.
Frightened sounds from a world, in which you're caught.

Had it been my expectations or was
it betrayal.
The insights withdraw insanity
climbing up with prayers
In real time when I was never real,
In hopeless nights when I was never
hopeless....
All of a sudden had the world
changed or had my devotion
The birds dint stop chirping,n sky
expanding, n I was still in motion
Motion never ceases but getting
ceased is not motion
With words that I play getting more
trapped in emotion
through the frame less windows
when they pry
Getting self sustained........they cry

I am a person known to few
I am an individual just like you.
I am a person unknown to most
I believe in the Father, Son and Holy Ghost
I am a symbol of individualization
With the understanding and realization
I can be whatever I desire
I can uplift and inspire
I can teach and be taught
I cannot and will not ever be brought.
Whenever I feel any dismay
I get down on my knees and pray
I ask the Lord to show me the light
I ask Him to watch over me tonight
So that I may see the light of day
And continue on the right pathway.
I am not self contained
I am not self sustained
I got here with love and support
I know like most we all fall short.
I know where I’ve been
I know what I’ve seen.
I know where I want to be
I know that everything I do starts here with me.
