The Need

The road, from dreams
Stations of definitions – 
And the side, it met us
About fruit, flowers, and genesis

Not the skies, neither depth, nor . . .
The quest? Conquer the man within!


Premium Member Rip Me

No longer myself

Definitions
Do change over time

I did not know 
Who I was 
Then

Now
I do

With the sadness that comes
When you learn of the death
Of an old friend

This Cannot Be Love

I will not waste my emotions
On your false and pre-conceived notions
You always demand definitions
And love with selfish conditions
You must first learn love yourself
Before you can love someone else

Too Many

Too many yesterdays
Gone and forgotten 
Like songs,
They played their last note
Names become definitions 
Places become landmarks
Time passes
Now, then, and was
All gathered by time
Collecting the days
No longer to be remembered

Extreme Measures

Lines are drawn and measures made by different definitions Kilometers or miles or feet, or inches just to name a few As long as the results the same, it really doesn't meter

Premium Member Born An Eagle

Don’t lose me in the tide,
Follow me through the dust.
I will rock through heedless waves,
Nocturnally beseeching your dead grandparents.
Die on your new definitions,
Retain the baggage of flesh you’ve dragged
As your own identity.
Just don’t forget to soar like an eagle.

Definitions of Reality

I am a liar. I act tough. I act like I don’t care.
But in reality, I suffer from every glass-eyed glare.
I am a lost cause. I act like I have promise.
But I still run for cover because my soul is an abyss.
I am a monster. I act like I am harmless.
But in reality, I’m a hysterical mess.

Funhouse Exaggerations

In a caricature of life and all its ambitions,

he licked his salted paws and went into the funhouse.

There, he found new definitions and parameters

in the concave and convex exaggerations.

someone once said: mathematics is exploration
                              definitions come later
so...  
hold a universe in your hand

see the cosmos in a flower

Critical Creations
David J Walker

All of these eyes
These words
Surfacing for attention

Arriving in Wrhymes of 
twos and threes 
Arriving with bad baggage in
		Sixes and sevens 
but no intentions

The no knowing of certain
And uncertain 
Definitions

It’s the same for 
	Every beginning of

Premium Member flame that has no name

how still is our stillness betwixt bliss beats
with attention fixated in the play
rapture refrain that breath by breath repeats
is-ness of being-ness that’s here to stay

resting thus as awareness self-aware
God tends to our needs so why should we care
we’re beyond definitions and labels
for we’re the flame spoken of in fables

Distant View

sunrise for sale

a pinpoint of light

find your place in the stars

elliptical orbit

afar

new definitions

of the solar system

created

found

with a timeless search

astronomers and soothsayer

cry out

this distant body

given a letter

instead of a name

the ultimate seclusion

for an infinite price

Definitions

Family is defined by feelings
not just those of love.
A need stirs up inside
sent down from above.
The yearning to help, to comfort
to care for those in your family.
To be sure they will survive
And receive whatever they need.
Definitions, outsiders, nay-sayers,
whomever they may be
so not let them crush
your dreams of what you believe.

VEIL OF HORIZON


A longing since medieval,  
A plea for life's survival,  
Boundless in its scope,  
Safety, an elusive rope.

A concept drifting in hope,  
Pragmatic yet in vogue,  
A specter in the shadows,  
Darkness in the meadows.

Volatile in its essence,  
Thesaurus lost in grievance,  
Meaning fading, now receding,  
Yearning for new definitions.

Kind of a Customized Story

Copy…paste
Counterclockwise time.
And then slowly it all merged
to an old worn-out page.

I smile too little, I think, now a day
Learning a lot of difficult definitions, lately
Kind of a customized story
Yet a repetition of hundred times.

Boon is a divine word
Could not be compared to a curse.
Kindled and enlightened so
Don’t care about shadows.

The Lost Message of Love

My hope to your life
Your smile to my heart
My honor to your destiny
Your love to my happiness

Understanding through everything
Supporting above it all
Appreciating all the similarities
Respecting all the differences

Our many definitions of romance
Being described in the same manner
The words written in a lost page
The lost message of love

Premium Member The Sword of Words

We tend to get lost in words – 
definitions; often words being
stretched or contracted
in accordance with personal
beliefs and intentions--predilections....

Take Nationalism,
in a sense, not conducive to
world harmony – take Christianity,
belief and abidance in Christ

in a sense, a form of Nationalism

fall upon spirit...and not the sword
of words –
