wild white horses galloping
angry clouds brooding

The wounds of life
when amended,
are patches of experiences...
that for life we contribute
enjoying or suffering
its consequences... !...

Unction from heavens
Mitigating crown
Ballasting nature and nurture
Ritualistic canopy
Ecological shield
Leased providence
Licensed convenience
Amended space...

Intended Safely Ended

What I really had intended
Finally had safely intended
Heart skipped a beat
If we were to delete
Rules should be amended.

Should Be Apprehended

Never likes things and wants them amended
Is a criminal who should be apprehended
Simple life is weird yet still complicated
And considered to be highly constipated
One day into hell he will have descended.

farther we are from each other
my love prowl for you
holding you in my arms
will be forevermore with you
kissing you  deep in my mind
telling me i love your charateristics
our love is now separate 
but our hearts is amended 
as onehearted until then...

Jaded is the heart that rests alone 
                                  cadenced, tirelessly out of tune
                                   
                             Audacious is the heart that finds another
                                  captivating, blissfully intoxicated...

A Van Gogh's "Starry Night"

gamboge moon and stars
dance haloed whirlwind marriage
in violet sky

while black cypress looms
past swirling clouds as fleeting
requiem for love

through bright starry eyes
secluded heart still searches
unrequited.

In the street I found you
oblong pebble
Where did you hail from
an outcrop  or some bizarre barrier reef
I let you chalk 
to all the lost and lonely

I love you like Jah
I cannot bare any flowers in my seed bed
I  lay you in the mud
chlorosis of zinc and potassium
unpurifying the London Waters...

WISDOM

When I was young my folly knew no bounds.
It has been said the border has extended.
Still, I confess my ignorance compounds
Delusion: thus I plead has been amended
On  premise of cognisance of my flaws
May I claim a touch of WISDOM as knowing cause

Cooking Up Words
Miracle Man
November 6, 2023

Words, too often are seasoned with malice,
cooked up in a heart and tongue that’s callous.

They look for the palate of the one intended,
and once devoured can never be amended.

No thoughts exist toward soft kill inflicted,
mean spirited people just launch unrestricted.

When money lies
Love speaks truth
Where money bears fruit 
Love cries
Where money sleeps
Love is awakened
Where money ceases
Love is amended
Where money dies
Love lives
Where money breaths
Love suffocates
Where money laughs
Love frowns

Love suffers all these
While money enjoys all things
Yet where love blossoms
Money in hell rots!...

my passion is grief desperation
 heartache I real feel heartbreak 
I feel engaged
 in romancing 
broken up heart collapsing 
she told me goodbye
 I'm not her guy 
I began to cry, why
 I was bend it intended 
on amended I thought 
my beating heart
 she threw out

Was Not Intended

Was not intended
When my endeavored ended
Rules were amended
Into air blended
Casket cemented
She had consented
Car door was dented
My eyes had glinted
Answer was hinted
Not oriented
I had relented
Vessels were stinted
Ended up suspended
Room was well-vented.

You get to pick out last one you
want for last line. Jim Horn...

He amended a heart he didn’t break,
His lips never uttered a lie,
His hands were never cruel,
When he sang, danced, spoke gently, and when he smiled,
My heart fluttered and was lost for a while
He makes my day when he looks at me and raises an eyebrow with a lopsided grin, 
His foolishness makes my head spin.
He’s the past, the future, and the present 
His love is tender and omnipresent...

Days of romance and promises disappeared,
Instantaneous discussions turn into arguments,
Value of parental love and relationships put aside,
Oh, how can I forget that you are mother of my children,
Remember, we may live away from each other, we are their Ma and Pa,
Complicated it may seem, once deep love can be amended,
Eternally living in peace and love of family, would erase all the woes.

poem written for Unseeking Seeker's Awaking from Stupor Contest 1/12/2024
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Something has happened;
something has changed.
Something to portend;
perception exchanged.

A door has been opened;
another has closed.
A feeling amended;
another exposed.

A state resurrected
from silent subconscious deep;
awareness once neglected
no longer asleep.

Past passions renewed;
an emotive rebirth.
Vibrant, joy now imbued
with tear-stricken mirth.
