Morning sun putting
balm on the green leaf margin
Beetle-chewed whole night

Autumn…
Grips summer’s hand
Slyly – at time’s whimsy
Quelling heated, tantrumed outbursts
…Cool rain
To treat an ulcer that was peptic
My Doc gave me an antiseptic
Then he made it quite clear
That it goes up my rear
I think you could say I'm a skeptic
This is hard some days,
For inner calm, I pray,
Spread smiles, like a balm,
Try to be a living psalm,
Pray to be a river of peace,
We must practise our beliefs!
think of criminals eating crackers with chapped lips,
and i bust in, as slightly used balm
screaming " my duty is to lube!"
...all these criminals squeezing my tube.
Wifey asked me to pass her the lip balm
By mistake, handed her Super Glue in her palm
It's been a month now
She hasn't uttered a vowel
It's amazing, things haven't been so calm
Guilt
Rides with separation
Peering into the past
Finding a story
Wrapped in shame..
Forgiveness seems
Distant with a doing
Of necessity
Blocking the way..
Separation's hold
Seems what is
Happening..which
May be the balm
Which is sought...
She leans up closer
Lips to connect is our goal
We find each other
Our passionate kiss
With the taste of strawberry
Lip balm shared as one
We enjoy the taste
Of each other’s warm sweet lips
Another kiss waits

Dear God
In the sundry scatterness of truth
And the sultry pillage of the brute
Bind me up again
In swaddling rags
And burial ointment for the pain.
For through death
I shall approach my birth
Better than a resurrection
Of lilies
From the immortal bulb
Of only faith
Dear God
Let me be consumed in you.
I think when night
begins to fall
it is my favourite
time of all.
I refect on
the day just done
and bid goodbye
to the setting sun.
I feel at peace,
relaxed and calm.
A colourful sunset
is Nature's balm.
I understand
this is a gift
designed to give
my soul a lift.
I meditate
on my day.
I thank my Lord,
kneel and pray.
I Have No Words
By Richard DJJ Bowdery
I have no words to dry your tears,
Nor words of balm to soothe your pain,
I have no words to lie this truth,
To claim I have I cannot feign.
Yes my silence may confuse,
Be not what you want to hear,
But empty words will parch your soul,
And sound so hollow in your ear.
No comfort dwells in well-worn cliches,
Which hang around like startled birds,
They can’t compare to love in action,
Such precious deeds decry cheap words.
