Component men subsumed by steel
As individuals we meld
And standing thus preserve the real

Old man caring for his old wife.

Every true love is also forgiving.

Green silent abode
Gives component to save live
Takes care birth to death
We behave it waywardness
Compose a dire state in it

Love is
a feeling
fueled
by the heart
and soul.

Happiness
is a
component
of love.

Silently
expressed
through a kiss,

a tear,
or a smile;

love is hope....

Rippling glass
dancing under dim light,
letting one pass
hesitantly but smoothly,
giving life to some creatures,
bringing death to others,
but it is a sacred component
for all to live.

Cleanses the world,
and for some,
even the soul,
hiding mysterious lands
from us,
that we still pollute....

Wishing you contentment and peace this holiday.
Safety and health for all, I pray.
Some festive foods and display,
Gifts to receive and give away.

May this much enjoyment,
Outweigh concerns of the moment,
More gay times merely a postponement,
'Til communal singing and music are again a component....

I was once in thrall to the infamous myth
Of the artiste souffrant,

But I’ve come ultimately to see it 
As the cruelest of delusions.

But could it not be said
That it’s still among us, 

That malefic notion 
That the artist is a spirit set apart, 

For some special purpose 
Of which pain is an essential component?...

The rise and fall of Empires 
The rhythm of existence
The story of Nations 
The sequence of life 

As a Nation as a man 
The story is same
Only appearance differs
The component is the whole 
The Whole is what makes it up

Rising and falling 
Even in one lifetime 
Life maintains its sequence 
Undulating to test the voyager...

come with me to the sea
walk the sand on the desolate beach
take my hand, take my heart
lay with me, under the stars

come with me, don't delay
in this place I want to stay
you beside me night and day
in the sun and times of rain

come with me, let us start
I know I don't want to be apart
you are now a component part
in my soul and in my heart...

From my component perspective
in the stewing pious chatter
does freedom of truth reflective
alter all forces that matter
without loving the reflection
while stumbling up the ladder
since we all share this collection,
ills shaking us until madder,
raging at injustice of will
amassing with that sweaty fist
any method that makes us kill
our sovereign duty to resist....

The sun strikes the Red Maple, Crepe Myrtle Tree
Glorious color is the reward of the onlooker
Bewitchment by the quick change engages fantasy
Of the sage who has the role of a caretaker

Sunlight passes through common broomsage
Its color purple fills me with excitement
The light component does my mind assuage
Light accelerates color with enlightenment

Unfinished work...

Listen to poem:

When life's journey folds in on itself,
Becomes a jumble, in clattered confusion,
it's wise to hold back,
and stall the footfall.
To disassemble the journey and saga,
into it's component parts,
and lines in play.
To revert to time's tick tock routine,
taking one step, one mere step,
before every second one,
reflecting on each moment,
dissected, 
and stepped, 
upon....

When Joy entered the interview room the ambiance changed from gray to pink
Dead crows and deceased bats were replaced with lively butterfly faeries
The other applicants sensed a turn and broke into a positivity song
Derek a personnel director who is a drip, did not notice
He was the only person in that room who did not feel the shift.
Sad that he is the hiring component, isn’t it?...

Nobel narcissist my helium
Lofting legends to the skies
Pacifist from formless realms
Anonymous to naked eyes

A shimmer-shift you light desire
Aglow a ball beyond my reach
The heavens breached by torrid fire
Brilliant deepest reverence teach

Component of my every being
My spirit soars to know your name
In silent fame you dominate
Source of life eternal flame...

I am--
A poem, the component 
Of heart and
 
Soul
With all the rhythm 
And rhyme that I gush
In wordy hives 

Of craving
Curved, delicately
On a tree, as its 

Blood-stained 
Juices run down the earth
To kiss and reverse the enchantment
Of winter. Ah, I am--

A poem
Not to irritate 
Your eyes

Yet, to please them 
With scented hue 
Of sensuous love, wafting 
From sleep...

Do you hear my heart knocking
You are the key; nothing else is blocking

Listen carefully, as it pounds
Changes rhythm when you're around

Speeds up at the mere thought of you
Slows down when you're body wraps mine like glue

It burns when you're in pain
Flutters when you call my name

Grows with each passing moment
Has life now; you are the missing component

close up, everything is in scope
    those minerals facilitating 
       electrical charges
     what component could I remove
       should I...
  identify my point of error
so close up that it all becomes clear 
   take the tweezers to my mind
pick out the failings
  place them under a microscope
   tell me why I don't work as I should
analyse me Mr Scientist, I trust you implicitly...

Glide.....
Glide into and out
Troubles come without a doubt
Inside you there is a way
Frightening you as it may
Become your most valued component
Deal with troubles seize the moment
By recognizing the way to the light
Anguish is simply times little bite
Decide clearly in your heartmind
Avenge this fate and you will find
Justifing your sorrows and pains
Beseech acceptance stand up again
Glide.......

Romance was there, once
Understated but always present
Solid, but slowly giving way
To rust and time.
Each component was inevitably bound to
Decay
	
And yet, we can
Never
Deny the power of each journey taken
	
Because, though age strikes the eye above all
Underneath shines the glory of the past
Strong.  Intact. And an important
Testament to what was there,
Emotion, left to slowly
Dissolve to peace...

His spiritual side resides in his soul,
Mental component refers to his mind,
the physical relates to his body.

Play and exercise harden his body, 
Moral principles grant hope to his soul
Proper education helps shape his mind.

Reading and being read to boosts his mind,
Nourishing food and drink build his body,
Teaching him honesty braces his soul.

Made in God’s image – soul, mind and body....
