Robert Frost was at a crossroad
as his traditonal style showed
Master of the colloquial voice
rhymn so often his first choice

there she stood
vulnerably shy
consumed with doubt
her future in the balance

A wrong turn in the
Four pathway city crossroad
Made a propitious
Encounter for two strangers
Longing for the magic day

At the crossroad
I was knocked down
by a speeding horse.
Off it Galloped ,
his mane flowing.
"Oh, harbinger of hope,
please tell them,
I lie broken
awaiting for their help."

Lost,
At a crossroad of my life,
Destiny I met
Smiling, she inquired where I was
Heading to
“I am waiting for you to tell me.”
Was my reply!

Epigram
Caught at
a crossroad
duality
reigns
Closing
you off
or opening
lanes
That choice
staring back
in the distance
provides
A new
destination
or a place
— you can hide
(Dreamsleep: March, 2025)

when in Eden
please follow
the signs
don't step on
the grass
don't eat any
apples
as you're
leaving
Eden
at the crossroad
right for life
left for knowledge
save yourself
go straight and
take both
with you

I do not know?
Life is a choice
Amidst crossroad
Wise path you go.
Life is freedom
To obtain peace
There should be war.
Life is giving
Sharing is love
Give what you have.
Life's not old age
It's 'bout good times
It's 'bout chances.

And the journey comes to a stop.
Wires dangle in the air
Like unanswered questions -
Darkness looms,
Solemn silence rolls by -
Is it the end of the road - yet,
The sky on the horizon still burns.

Verse
She is there for the show
but somewhere else all the more
in this world of sudden haste
she can not find a place that’s safe
Standing at this lonely crossroad
she's waiting for a source
that’s about all that’s left
for this girl feeling stressed.

Rhyme
I approach your throne my Maker
Confused and anxious about my fate
Should I take this leap of faith
Should I turn left or right
You say its not by power nor by might
but by your spirit
I am stuck at a crossroad
And I bow at the cross
Lord show me which way to go

Dramatic Monologue
At the crossroad,time ago
A galloping horse knocked down me hard
My world askew.
Today I walk with halting stride
On the rough road where trouble hide
With crutch in hand going slowly.
Yet swaying and flowing another horse
is seen galloping towards me.

“sipping Jack while singing Charlie”
the season left leaving leaves
left and right right
on the all
around ground except where
a windswept wind kept
the streets clean
at the crossroad cross meant
for meetings to be met
by Paganini and
me
and
Him

You take away me from the light
into the dusk of faceless streets.
We see faint traces of the bright,
road lamps are all of a sudden lit.
You fell in company with me
so as to come up to the point.
We bypass dirty roadside sleet
and soon walk out of the crossroad.

We are here at the crossroad
In our steps the road was behind was long
But in our memories it is short
Limitless time
Still confines our days together
So today we come face to face
With a dreaded goodbye
Well skirted
Adiós amigo
Adiós my friend
Adiós! ! !

Oh, the blessings that awaits
when we learn to spiritually evolve,
the Lord waits at the crossroad to help us catch up
and together walk in the light.

Flower of my youth
Take advice
I won’t cry for you
die for you
I won’t wait for you
lie for you
Flame of my sea
Pay heed
I must set sail
at the crossroad
I have to give
two eggs & calico
Flesh of my desire
Give leave
When I go
one of these days
I am not
coming back

it was the roses
that kept him going
crimson petals
and cinnamon scent
the wreath
full of thorns
with ink blood
tattooed to his crown
a garland of nettles
propelled his feet
as he took the lonely walk
away from the crossroad

When someone is dealing with one’s feelings where’s the love? When someone is at a point of feeling out of sync where’s the love? When someone is torn apart emotionally and physically where’s the love? At a crossroad from many different directions where’s the love within thy innerself.

Carpe Diem
Godless, I faced a crossroad decision,
I knew that I would have to choose.
Facing a situation I did not envision,
God showed me what I stood to lose.
The cancer that had my body bound,
Appeared to me as a death sentence,
And yet God chose to make me sound,
The price I paid was my repentance.

Lyric
Down the dusty road of life
past each crossroad of pain and sorrow.
We struggle through each day and night
trusting God for each tomorrow.
With an aching heart full of memories
we think of our family and home.
Remembering love, good times and laughter
knowing fault lies within us alone.

********
At the end
Of the Cross Road
Their is this Bridge
Not necessarily My way
But at the design of the Lord
------
At the Crossroad
Is where...
Dear Lord: I sanction, I pray
With Knowledge and Wisdom
- Fore -
You show Me the way...

Bio
We stand at a crossroad,
look right, look left, look up
don't just stand there, speak up
do turn your eyes to God.
Of right, and left, and up,
Detour always beckons
Light is life we reckon
we don't believe in luck.
Detour always beckons,
Of choice we must beware
Lift up your voice in prayers,
Mercy equals pardon.

Verse
Love asked me to travel with her to see
all the facets of love. I gladly accepted and I
saw and felt things I never knew existed.
All the feelings and emotions were like
colors of the rainbow. I was elated
knowing love at last had found me.
Love took me for a ride and without warning,
she left me at a crossroad full of broken wings.

Play-rewind; rewind-play.
Something's at play, I can tell that much. Very strange!
What was that all about?
Like I've been here before, living twice at once.
Adorned, with a snapshot of a crossroad.
Memory in telepathy.
In a vantage point empathy of a particularly significant
thing.
But why it's significant? You got me.
Sure got me. Whoa
