Sparkling

how about
the sparkling centerpiece
of a twinkling day
winking at me 
through eyes unseen
   but felt
warmly, on my bare shoulder
heaven shudders
      and so does my body

You are not the stars. You are the Moon. You are the centerpiece; a painting that canvases the night sky. I am a wolf's howl; a desperate call through the dark. I am longing paws clinging to forgotten earth. I am forever chasing the Waxing Moon.

Emotion.
                                                 Raw, subtle
                                                 Shifting, pulsing, transforming
                                                 A centerpiece of soul.

Christmas Note

Throughout these unusual times,
May your hearts remain giving and kind.
And truly for us it has meant so much
That through these years, you have kept in touch.
So our wish to you is good health and peace,
And that the reason for this blessed season remains your family’s centerpiece.

Premium Member Shine On

The shine on his shoes
  The shine on his car
The shine on his face
  ~ shines like a star

His suit freshly pressed
  His pants perfect crease
His shirt sports no wrinkles
  ~ sharp tie's centerpiece

His teeth fairly sparkle their pearliest white
  He looks oh-so-sharp ~ his future is bright

As We Fall With the World

as we fall with the world
i want us to die holding the heart of the other
we will always have our memories
love will forever be our Divine Centerpiece
let us cherish every memory and brace ourselves for the inevitable
forgiveness is like mistletoe with little cross windchimes
i hope to see you on the other side of the gates

Premium Member Stars At Midnight Espinela

Sitting beneath stars at midnight
free now to shout and just let go.
Imagination feeds their show,
I’m witness to a streak of light.

I no longer wonder what might 
come out of the pursuit of peace.
Turning off the room’s centerpiece
I am not detached from darkness.
No distractions within starkness 
hesitation will always cease.

Drive Through Nativity Scene


We headed to a drive through nativity in town!
Comprises all the symbols of that great event.
With colored lights that elevate the soul.
Mary, Joseph and Jesus, the centerpiece!
Camels,sheep,and the manger.
The Star of Bethlehem.
So spiritually symbolic
Holy night

Premium Member A Faded Photo - for contest

    A faded photo of his father
       all that’s left of the man 
    A centerpiece in his son’s home
       on the mantle it stands

    The creases in the photo
       match those on his face
    His legacy, hard labor
       ~ lifelines to trace

Premium Member Along the Lake Shoreline

*Inspired by the photo from the internet


Through blades of grass, sun's centerpiece
Shines brighter, watching light increase
Thoughts get sharper, mind is more clear
With globe in my hands, all is near
Still reflections, enough to walk
With words of truth, now I can talk
Along this peaceful lake shoreline
There's no-one here, the world is mine

Premium Member The 'C' In Christmas


Christmas courts contentment, cheer
Contributes comfort, comity-
Commingling with the coming Christ.
Can celebrate with caroling,
Church choir chanting, candlelight.
Create commitments to cherish
Connection conceived with Christ.
Christmas cards and caring confirm
Charity, compassion, closeness-
Culled core of Christmas centerpiece.

My Precious Jewel

You are a treasure to me
A very rare and precious jewel
A remarkable stone that I will place as the centerpiece of a crown
For all to see it’s worth 

For, from its cuts only the finest light illuminates
Its core so deep it fathoms any ocean
Its color is that of emotion
And it’s quality - FLAWLESS 

This crown I will place upon my head with honor and pride
For it is through your worth
That I can see my own

to fault the poet

Well you call it what you want 
'cause you can’t call it what it is.
As the hounds wait at the gate 
for you to come and let them in. 
Is not love without it's proper name,
a crime that is committed free of sin?

If it is wise to fault the poet 
your tongue is sharp, your words obscene.
If I am tainted in your eyes 
know I was once a centerpiece. 
Should you hold in your apprehension 
I will not ask if I am free.

Premium Member The Discovery of the Bagel

Whoever came up with the bagel
  was a right-smart clever fellow
His brainstorm surely ranks up there
  with taste treats like pudding and jello

For I'd never put toppings on pudding
  like lox, tomatoes or cream cheese
And who would think of serving jello
  with an assortment of delicacies

So, a doff of the cap and three cheers
  for that purely anonymous soul
the centerpiece of whose discovery
  was quite an ace in the hole

Power Shifts

Look at how the power the Power Shifts
It's all smoke and mirrors
And every hour here
I learn to value the precious seconds


Well the centerpiece of my topic is enterprize
Please don't enter the gates of simple minds
And the middle might---___Fall out and stiil the light
Well I guess I don't know nothing about Power shifts then//////////
Well we'll see in the Spring when the flowers are blooming\\\\\\\\\\

Premium Member A Secret Kept

There is no honor among thieves 
They were in and out a crime spree
Despite the frost white winter breeze 
Screams were lost by autumn’s leaves
There were valuables taken indeed
Likely sold the gold across the sea
And the art was a smart centerpiece 
Repainted by dark bloody crime-scene
Was it a targeted or a random thing
Corpses keep secretes horrible dreams 
Who did it why how did this come to be
Will the fingerprints tell us anything
