The sky is broken
Go tell the Blacksmith...

and my coyote heart waits,
then crushed by the weight....

forging white bolts of lightning-

Senryu 

On anvil of life
Man is fixed to conform 
To society´s norm 


Senryu
Hammer on hot steel
Yields as softest of butter  
Forever a horse shoe...

steel mill smoke stack
anvil and hammer
my will for sure
sprinkle the cotton
hot steam on my face
press down hard
don't beak the board
chore of the sixties...

The anvil wallows on his heart 
His dreams, trodden, alas depart
Pride triggers a cursory front
The fierce justification hunt
He steps to nowhere from the start...

There once was a blacksmith at Danville
Who made so much noise on his anvil
That the neighbors, one day,
Quietly hauled it away,
And bulldozed it into the landfill....

Love strikes 
Like a hammer 
On a silver anvil
Your dark eyes 
Deep jewels of delight
Inspiration to fashion
From a precious heart 
Something magnificent
As one with you...

is the hammer with which 

justice, meticulously, forges 

the character of the wise

on the anvil of virtue!

how to label, bliss so tranquil
we are still, as joy overspills 
bubbling within in renewal
delighting in Gods miracles
soul thus shaped upon the anvil

One's character

Is

Uninterruptedly forged 

By

Destiny's hammer 

On 

The anvil of necessity 

Under

Divinity's watchful eye!

I wish I could be a bird flying carelessly through the sky.
My face moist as I fly through a cloud.
Instead I feel like an anvil weighing down on the world.
Heavy thoughts burden me as I try to remove my self from this world....

Hey, Cruel Memories
that I don't want to remember!
Do not beat all the pains and agonies
on my face
just like tens of hammers
pounding on one anvil
as if to shape a horseshoe,
It’s an absolute disgrace
cause you will then be implicated
in a scandal...

If angels were not here,
we would be where,
with dark and goth,
angels bear wrath,
they protect,
as luck defects,
you know it well,
good and evil,
are placed ons ame anvil,
one rises,
the other arises,
you have to have one,
to get the two,
our life is a savoury stew....

understanding some
is the key in our pocket
if not then we're lost

the key's an anvil
a fulcrum or a lever
multi purpose tool

to shape knowing by
into a mechanism
to better ourselves

by liberation
from thoughts emotions and deeds
of self and others

Love forged in the anvil of a sheltered heart 
Where the wind gusts to cast its vivid blow 
The baneful storm could not cause its verve to part 
For the ember warms to rouse its even flow 
Heart that's pounded with the hammer of affection 
Shapes to harden with a deep sense of devotion...

We are alive, feeling by touch
Movement through time and space
We do thank God, ever so much
As in-pours divine grace

All done, as He does will
In midst of storms, we’re still
Shaped upon the anvil

Say senses five
We are alive

first things first, we quieten heart
melding our mind therein
all souls be one, none stand apart
as bliss throbs on our skin

all we do, is be still
shaped upon the anvil
surrendered to Gods will

quenching thirst
first things first

"In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous."  Aristole

Clouds,
Drifting
Gossamer,
Amorphously
Cumulonimbus
Botryoidal changelings
Bulbous body-building boils
Robustly rising with swelled heads
Bragging with bursts of thunderous joy
Eager to display lightning anvil crowns...
