Short Charted Poems

We are all charted by our morals, emotions and cultures...

it was a place
of every face
my tears
was not of fears
they came to bring
for us stiffs
with a charted
GIFT PARTY...

Charted lanes of custom,
 complacency alights
familiarity trumping all
—mindless in the night

To defeat me,
an emotion he created.

I rose above it
undeterred and elated.

Then, he declared me cold
and hard- hearted.

Yet in my strength
I felt just as charted.

Result to make you
Charted and measured 
Repeat method
sit com rising
Even flow conversation
None to stop 
Success a sure bet
Feeling fat
Knowing titles of wisdom
Doors open and close

The First American In Space

Charted expanse amidst constellations,
Strokes faraway Monet craft distinctions,
Obscured impel echoes an emptied choice,
Shepard favors Frost's view, narrative voice.

She woke up
The bitter remnants of the past 
swirling in her mouth
eating her words
in a sulphuric acid brew
She woke up
and spat them out
before they charted a course to destroy
all she still knew
of the truth

Colors do swirl
Savory
Bravery
Charted
Hearted
The one who held out her hand
While others did not understand
Act of kindness
Many received and witnessed
My Lord does giveth
Power of forgiveness
Stood in turn
Love stands firm
My penmanship
Is Heavens friendship...

charted chains
slaved remaind
oppressively
re-gained
staind
love
my
eyed
rolling
marbled
on
the
floor
green
greenhouse eyes
effect on breath
taking all mine
am i blind
myself
had to
know
look at me now
broken heart
on
a
plane
charted chains

shadows protrude the physical realm
pilots of light at our vessels helm
directives plotted , mapped and charted
intuition , gateways guarded
competing forces triggering sparks
understanding to avoid the dark
skullcap , fortress , our mind dwells
heart of hearts , life and love
our holy grail............

With no one to steer the course,
A ship is like an unbridled horse.
Any system will rot to naught,
Without a leader at the helm to direct 
Has any paper boat from its source,
Charted its own safe course!

Seven Days


man named a year the time around our sun 
man chose the month to mark seasons done 
man chose day we spin in heaven 

God chose the number seven 

God then created all heaven 
God breathed life into us, love started 
 God’s love now charted, he is exalted

Eruption of contrasts
Flailing at a sequence ventured
Awaiting new discovery
A vigorous erratic transformation
Intentually I find myself moving forth
Charted by beacon to light
Hidden by the naked eye
Foreign to what I once knew
Seen within the distance
Understanding journey
Of lingering in the depth 
Of my own subconscious...

SUMMER WIND

Whistling a
love melody
sailing the
open sea,
blending with
the waves
in harmony,

sailing
to shore
through the
lush green
valleys and
mountains
galore
for an encore,

like dreams
that have flown
with the
summer winds
charted for
each soul.

In our lives nothing happens abruptly
Incidents undoubtedly happen logically
All that happens to us in our lives clearly 
Happen as per wishes of the God dearly.

It starts right from choosing our parents
Our birth, our living and our companions
Our entire journey is charted meticulously
From womb till we rest in the tomb finally....

When I take the reins of a cart and horse,
  The world in an instant slows for a day.
I take pleasure in nature's playful source,
  And learn how not to think so far away.
I don't set my sights on the course charted.
  The horse plays along, (it's an inborn trait.)
I think sometimes he has me outsmarted;
  He takes the path that's little used of late....

One day 

 patterns of block
 charted of words 
 roots of love 
 rat holes of fights 

 wheel of world 
 circle of universe 
 holding tale of cat 
 rat holes of a fights 

 war,war,war& war 
 behind a war to find reasons 
 rat holes of fight 

 ONE DAY like a cone ice 
 our fight melt leaving the taste of
 our love 



With love all

I saw the moon at mid-day,
Pale, behind the drifting clouds.
It seemed the day was muted,
As if  whispers would be too loud.

I walked out into the desert,
Watching the shadows cast.
Perhaps the moon at mid-day
knows the secrets of the past.

The leaves of change are falling.
Tomorrow’s path is charted. 
We see the moon at mid-day,
when the stage's veil is parted....

Listen to poem:

Preflight Starlight
David J Walker

After a nine-month countdown
The small light 
Ignited into life
Blasting off like a rocket 
Seemingly slow 
Hanging low for a moment 
In the sky
then gone	
Where and how far it will go
Is reflected in the show of
Unperfected engineers 
Potential, they say 
Is in the Stars-light
Soaring on a course charted
In the DNA of preflight...

I am not the first to sail these storm tossed seas,
many many have journeyed before me,
and many many more will come,
the vessel I captain grows weary with the day,
each rise and fall, each tilt and sway,
I log the journey for one day to share,
these waters are charted so future sailor beware,
onward I go passing others along the way,
knowing and hoping calm shores await, one day....

Combing through the carnage
Questions outnumber answers
Derailed if dwell on the details 
Will we forfeit all our advances?

Easy to get singularly focused 
On second guessing decisions 
Better to not ruminate on regrets
Since the past has no revisions 

Power in pivoting to the present 
As a new path has been charted 
Final destination still unknown
But in a better place than we started...

fear fell away from discussion
the inferior postulate
that anothers poetry
hath not free speech
beneath the scope
of obligation
of love
of love the mind
is left, desolate sound
and smut ridden apocalypse
is your pretense to burn
burning earth in chase of heroic confine
subjection, and of war crimes study
you have been charted
from paranormal disdain
congradulatory suffering
is you house furnished?

The movers wheeled the piano in the apartment 
my tutors revealed plateaus climbed as an artist 
hours flying pages turned black and white keys charted 
scoured trying ages I played packed plight I started 
recitals, concert halls, from practicing hardest 
reprisals, my art calls, the piano sits modest 
In my twilight years I teach children to harvest 
the wild bright light nears, to each the piano harnessed...

Causeway bent refractive source
temporary detour charted course

Rainbow bent in times of old
straightened pathway pot of gold

Fore who can make the crooked straight
distinguish difference love and hate

Bridge the gap for migrating souls
soothing feet upon burning coals

Spectrums color of enlighten
only love will continue to brighten

Within' is gold that must return
forever light.....eternal burn...
