In the book of life engages
Everyday a page 

Not matters in life age
As long as being courage 
Covering old to old age...

soul as self-existent living light
choicelessly choosing to crystallise
retaining luminosity in ambedo trance
engages therein as long as it likes
to rise again in wonderment

is this the ultimate delusion

RHYTHM OF LIFE

They do say that life has a rhythm
But probably slowing as one ages
As a couple, one with poor health
And fear of being left on the shelf
As in fewer activities one engages
But after all, there’s still optimism

My heartbeat

Engages my fingers

Letters seep like blood

Through the tip of my pen

Onto paper/words bleed into verse

Compelling your eyes to read?

Your own heart to feel?

I'm begging your lips to speak

Flow back into me ......

September stifles summer’s breath
Eases itself in at sunrise
Panders
To forthcoming pumpkins
Engages Autumn’s wild chorus
Meanders among the scarecrows 
Blows kisses to the migratory
Energizes the nest builders
Repaints again Fall’s sated blush...

"Bev-literated and Beautified"
by:  Eric L. Boddie

Belief brings Blessed Baggage
Even entering Eternal ecstasy
Vividly vain visions vanish

Because the Beauty you possess
Engages others to relieve stress
Very easily because your heart is truly Blessed.......

There is nothing but a dark path 
When a person engages in substance abuse 
Your world comes crashing down 
There is sadly everything for you to lose 
All hope will fade 
Nothing ever seems right 
Uncertainty looms in every moment 
When darkness overtakes the light...

A photo captures a moment
                   then imperceptibly fades
 
A painting makes a deep impression
                   that dims in memory's mists

A poem engages her reader
                   altering perceptions
                           creating new networks...

Painted sky cascades down to touch 
a green velour carpet.

Green Man asks for a dance and an elated crowd
engages the maypole.

As young leaves stretch tips to grasp sunlight
newly birthed buds yawn.

Gaia beams with pride;
another birthday for her children brings boundless joy....

Great
      Teaching 
     Requires a
   Desire burning
Not a mere paycheck
   To be earning--
    Not Spurning
        You or
          Me!

          Our 
       Teacher
   Engages Minds
 And Hearts As One
  Bringing together
  All Class Members
     Challenging
       You and 
          Me!...

A therapist skirts the edge of lunacy
like a priest engages sin

An evangelist disavows poverty and fear
like a snake that sheds its skin 

Together they paint the corridors black
with a promised light to come

Their patients and converts alone in the dark
salvation zero-sum

Erato

Each of the nine Muses
Endeavor to inspire.
Erato, lyre in hand,
Engages with men's minds,
Elegantly with words ...
Each phoneme, each pattern
Encourages lyrics....

When I wander the realms of daydreams,
   and fond memories of being with you,
      my heart engages in sweet release.

Within those indulgent moments
   I find solace and a calming peace,
      brief interludes of contentment.

Night.
A scantily clad sky, 
with unkempt clouds. 
Moon was climbing.

Caved in.
I had nothing left 
to say, except 
soundless poems.

No regrets;
in this climactic 
struggle of life. The 
pain eases, when

memory fails.
The flesh engages the 
spirit. End would wait 
till the grass banks.

blue pool
of water
rippling mirror 

lacy white 
flower petals
floating 

dancing 
as the wind
engages them

soft fragrant breeze
gently strokes
my face

eyes closed
long deep breath
moment savored

Holding on tightly- 
open to the dreams, 
pondering produces pain- 
enduring engages entitlement. 

Along the way- walls, 
novels not yet written- 
dying in the corner. 

Calligraphy conserving life- 
holding on dearly, 
a frame for future fragrance- 
neither scars nor wounds- 
grandeur grants greatness, 
especially once hope is found....

“Children have neither a past nor a future. Thus they enjoy the present, which seldom happens to us.” — Jean de La Bruyère

BE PRESENT

be present,
with the invitational—
the moment.
matters not the occupation.
be present.
don’t squander
life’s gift.

The other day
You did
pull those curtains back
ever so gently
as you exposed me to the light
With your opening of windows
I could breathe again
The air
rushing in
I looked at you
and a tear jumped
from the corner of my eye
I knew your love
was never a lie
For you’re the only one
that has found the right key
That key
engages the happy me...

Playmates illusion
                                       Feline stretches on its back
                                              Pup engages play
                                       Leaps into air with surprise
                                    Scratched nose, engages again

Love

I live to make her Laugh
For her id ride a Giraffe
That's how much i Love Her
Id put no one else above Her
And despite the fact i have yet to meet Her
Inside i feel much better
Because despite the fact i have still not met Her
My heart is for once willing to be Patient
As in my forseable Future
I am that very Lucky Guy
That engages Beauty's Eye...

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...
