Short Coddling Poems

hiding from the rest
man's drive to own what's not his
becomes obsession

Try not to 
Held yourself together, always.
Experience a heartbreak,
Go through pains,
Stop coddling your heart,
Leave luxury of unhurriedness,
And step into 
The world of reality....

Dragon’s milk, will I not breathe out flames?
A malted stout, so kind in taste, so brave.
I wonder at its caramel color, glass shines.
Coddling you kine brew, til the last dark drop!...

How can I trust again?
Your corporal act to pretend.
I've weaved my recluse
Coddling my spirit away
Their is a hypocrite
I am prey.
Intertwined with survival and dilemma
My heart cries out, bless my mind
And be aware.
Speaking of you I'd rather swear....

Christmas is coming.
There's snow in the air.
A melody playing
our hearts can't compare.

Where hopes we are coming
to peace in the land
Bring feeling's of settling
for lord of the grand

That spirits worth coddling
are love for all man
When hopes for each other
bring Christmas that can....

As fruit sprouts from mangled trees
fighting to survive disease
new prods must tremble the knees

since cheated serfs deserve less
coddling strokes to stoke sickness,
new stress must press for distress

pumping 50,000 watts
into people casting lots
braving to stave social rots

while scrambling the strong of mind
and binding us all behind
fearful compliance maligned....

The barren feed the barren,
and empty hearts a like in manner seek 
to satisfy a sadness, stuck deep 
within the marrow of the meek.

They blame the cheerful, and cast
them far beyond their realm of consciousness,
while coddling the joyless with sorrows 
that would spoil true happiness.

Faith will master self-deception,
reduce to ash the flame
of ruinous self-interest, and sow 
the seeds of gladness once again....

How has it come?
There was youth,
then love-
a certained indefatigable spirit,
tending memories, coddling pasts;
those pasts, her.
Recalled experiences as exhilarating
as the finest spring breath;
he'd left it all to chance,
or specified women, and now
blindsided by loneliness
and loss,
waxing and waning unpredictably,
but mostly waning.
An ordinary mortal
leads an un-heroic life
until nothing remains inside.
No, tears are not just water....

I sleep with yawning windows
Under blankets of a coddling breeze
To ensure some honesty in God

I sleep with active lamps 
Where bulbous dreams can swell 
Un-shaded by the restraints of vanity

I sleep in the suit of a newborn admitting all 
My secrets divulged in prayer should I pass
So I may leave with the same purity I came in with 
 
I rise to partake in all while eyes are open 
 Knowing I can never miss a nuance
Until the daytime phoenix blinks...

fly me away
high above the waves
 
looking down into the depths 
jellyfish cresting waves
minnows in the shallows
silvery slicks of scales
salted air dotted 
with sprinkly sand
 
painted sea shells
crabs coddling the sand, 
sealing pacts with the water.
 
eels electric in nature
spiraling driftwood
winds whip like cream up around my body.
 
Heaven's scent
glowing ringlets reflected
in the water
 
Stars in charge 
coming home to a place to be....

I found her again
Broken into naked pieces
Scattered to the heavens
Offered for redemption

There were faded footprints
Echoes of embers' flight
Burned vestiges 
Night's pillaged light

I felt love’s ruin
Ashes eating Eden’s seed
Flickering barbs of sacrifice
Life's stillborn dreams

There was still hope
Clinging to blackened feet
Coddling one another
Beneath quivering sheets

I found her again
Midnight makeup bled
I touched her weeping hand
As I knelt beside her bed...

   Go ahead, make my day!
   Try and crush me if you can.
   I see it as child's play!
   Those that tried, only encouraged me.
   Heartbreak is not my reality!
   
   
   It's the springboard for me to fly,
   In transformational directions.
   New love is my desired projection.
   I don't need coddling protection.
   
     
    This is when, I am at by very best.
    Let's see~if you can pass my test.

Silence and violence,
but never any solace.
Blaming and shaming.
Never any taming.
This side or that side?
Never any combined...
forces for the good,
no one is understood.
A senseless cycle,
an endless spiral.
Sad thing of tragedy,
is it's predictability.
From the first crisis,
to the endless...
reinforced programs,
coddling the madman.
We care, then we don't.
We pray, then we hope.
Woke and then helpless.
Tired and then restless.
Brave, and then not.
Action! Then, we stop....
