a spice of madness-
                           flavours genius
as in ageing bodies-
                           adolescence lives on

Premium Member Prolonged Adolescence

bursts of laughter
in the playground
where the inner child
of grandparents on a high
ignores age restrictions

BY DIVINE WILL



        



          I am divine grace:
       in the face of continuity...
         even in aging bodies -
       adolescence remains alive...

Premium Member Facts of Life a Cinquain

The wide-,eyed gaze of childhood
innocence,lost by adolescence
optimism destroyed,by realities of life;
experience lined in majority's grin
likeness reborn in program's kin.

Our Story

Brilliancy of Autumn 
in leaves of amber rum 
a wood plank memory 
swings into our story 
I recall the essence   
of our adolescence

Mother

A schoolroom
of my childhood
my mother's heart

 My shy adolescence
her tender warmth
purified

My present success
her new pride
glorified

Like Children

A cause; much like a child, is always lost.
Until it is sought by the will to seek purpose. 
Reluctance to find meaning in so, has shown light upon the world. 
For we blindly boast of our blatant adolescence.

Premium Member Twirl In Adolescence

Swirling down from a dark sky Stars that flicker by We twirl in adolescence Hoping not to die Living by the grace Smiling at benevolence Her warm loving face

Premium Member Long Long Ago

a fly buzzed
the clock 
             stopped,
the scene
       shifts
adolescence
         awoke
with a start:
the ordinary
became
    fantastic..
I was
     never to be
     the same
           again!

Premium Member Girl Amidst Snowflakes

Dazzling
Day-dreaming
Eyes
Entice

Golden hair-beams 
Create bizarre streams
Adolescence
In extravagance 

Nasal nostalgia 
Owing chionophobia
Spin 
Her ivory skin

Precognition 
Finds recognition
Harmonized skies   
Romanticize

Of Studies

The ancient men of letters spared no efforts in studies and
Their feats were derived from hard work since adolescence.
The knowledge acquired from books seems rather superficial,
A thorough understanding comes from your own experience.

Beneath the Gibbous Moon

virtue squandered 
beneath the gibbous moon
the feign of innocence
a burden to bear

daring to imply guilt
the jealous called me out
bothersome adolescence
who will miss you

I rest upon my shovel
bothersome burden buried
angelic virtue restored
beneath the gibbous moon

Premium Member Nostalgia

Nostalgia hides within the hopes
Of the present
Sours as it passes
Tucks itself into cerebral
Alleyways
Lingers in fitful dreams
Grows as it ripens
Ignites the trembling torch of
Ageing's adolescence

View From a Bench

One girl among a throng—
	no, declared her swaying hips,
		to woman she had bloomed—
Whose pert young face I’d never glimpsed
	(until that instant,
		from mall’s bench)
By passing, merely,
	eyes so bright
		and sweater shapely,
Touched off a vestige
	of youthful years
		and adolescence lost.

Our Family Tree

Strong 
Dark
Resilient
Ebony 
Towers
Spreading up through history
Budding off new members like leaves
Hoping to make it through seasons
Birth
Adolescence 
Middle age
And the cold of winter
With white hair on our heads like snow
Until we fall to the ground 
And join our roots
In the ground below

Singing Darkness

In hirsute adolescence
a narcissist climbs
the breast and becomes
a graveyard of moons.

Talking of marginality,
a hole in the chest
ejects a secret of peachy skin
when wind was selling sex.

Most corrupt was me
always telling truth about the
warm eggs of chaotic legs
who will not climb down the street.

Love, Do I Know You?

Love, do I know you? 
Then why can't I recollect
A single time I dared to say
I loved someone
With no trace of my family in them?
Sometimes, drowning 
In the rabbithole,
I'd wonder, and then realise
I'd never admitted to myself,
That I too had my dose
Of crushes and elusive love,
The usual spice of adolescence.

Adolescence

I'm not old enough to drive yet
Not old enough to drink
Not old enough for lotto
But old enough to stink

I'm at that in between age
Where nothing is quite right
When boys and drugs and alcohol
Have entered in my sight

I wonder where I'm going
I wish that I could stay
But my life continues advancing
Day by day by day
Form: Rhyme

Beauty

We are taught not to like ourselves,
from a young age
it is a shame to know you are beautiful,
yet beauty is in everyone,
why can't we see that,
see our worth,
without seeking validation from others.
one day you will shout it from the rooftops
you are beautiful.
after years of not feeling worthy,
you will realise you are.

Seasons

Spring, fresh cheeked, thrills us with renewal, Heralding life’s cycle born anew Summer, with the face of adolescence, Warms the heart and smiles at us with flowers Autumn dances to the song of twilight, It's age dismissed with colorful abandon Winters presence meets a cold reception And mourns the passing of another year

High School Memoirs

Under the plastic stars that
Led us through adolescence
and I was less than
Heartbroken. 

More like a dove was I
reaching for the sky
with friends no longer
present. 

Transparency with our
Desires and hearts
We made offerings on the 
Shore. 

Into the forest
I retreat now for
Rest and connection
as the pine tree
Saved me.

Premium Member Handle With Care

Handle with Care
  ought to be written there
On soft fragile foreheads
  tucked into precious beds

From infancy to toddlerhood
  childhood through adolescence
Survival thanks to the good
  grace of His blessed Effulgence...

As we hover o'er our graves
  thanks to Him who paves
Our way, handles us with care
  hears our every prayer

Time

Everything grows old, 
Through the days of cold. 
Time is beauty,
Time is Gold.

Leaves fall,
And children grow tall.
All the while,
Changes are small.

Time comes and goes,
Just as fast as the wind blows.
Time is consuming,
A wise man knows. 

Time has essence,
But no evanescence. 
Time is one,
Spending eternity in adolescence.
