Wearing Out
5-31-2016

It comes about forthwith after we retire,
We arrive at a place where we merely exist. 
While we should live life fully till we expire,
Things often occur that can’t be dismissed.

Venturing forthwith
to seek solution
on that which stands twixt
love freely given
and love deeply sought

What barriers

need tearing down
to accomplish?

Too many?
Perhaps, or

If a gal immediately tickles my ticklish spots
Then forthwith she certainly has me tied up in knots 
A sense of humour is key
Goes a long way with me
So much better than a big bowl of apricots

Huh???

Watch
Riposte
Spin, and then
Pique the heart ink
Diffidence showing the appalling link

Firmament encroached; caliginous stars
Ergo; all mars
With but three
Cuts to
Bone

Ah
Remise
Dip again
Ink thus imbued
Recondite quill forthwith shall be  renewed...

what ocean can i cross
without losing sight
of the shore?

i leapt forthwith into water
but water turned to flame
and fire turned to coal
and drowning, aflame
i burned
namelessly. 

i sank
into myself

i loved
love

i hated

i needed

I`m late, so late and
Can no longer wait !
I`m in grave trouble and
soon will burst my bubble 
My efforts must redouble !
I`m truly in a pickle.

To this I must admit 
Am truly a star twit !
And forthwith must commit 
To stop with all this wit....

Spring Volleyball - A Haiku

meandering thoughts
a  high, volleyball volleying
out of untied shoe

n the gym forthwith
before hardwood floor bouncing
because of the net

Here I am
Back to the sea
With a myriad
Facing over me

Should we all
Stand and fight?
Work things out
Till broad daylight?

Courage sings
Out in her voice
The din about
Don't have a choice

Now to take
Your place in line
Forthwith you may
Become divine...

Foresight  written on 8/26/88 by Tammy Ann Rose Snyder

The blameless Foresight
	Of the night
		Began to grow forthwith

It crawled and crept
	Until I wept
		But never revealed it’s myth

I sought the comfort
	To cavort
		Inside my head so deep


Almost emerging
	Then clashing and converging
		I finally fell asleep...

Tabby cat and I choose a sunny spot
Loving all the warmth and Vitamin D the sun has brought
Both dogs sit under a shady elm tree
All of us opinionated, all of us free

There is a tiny breeze on this November day
We all know we could have our say
But we choose to relax, none speaking a bit
The ambiance enjoyable, relaxation forthwith...

I won't be silenced

My voice  will scream and be heard

I won't be accesory to your transgressions,

Witness to your sins, your actions and inactions

To your deceptions and dishonesty

I will not fight side by side with you

I choose not 

Forthwith I become your distant memory

I will do anything for love but that I won't. 

I Won't....

I step forth 
By Michelle Morris 
10/12/2020 

I step forth into my true self
I walk forward on my destined path
I am grace and hope forthwith 
I am love and light so blessed

I step forth and I walk tall
I am a true blessing to all
I am protected and guided in all ways 
I am given strength for all days 

Blessed be...

I'm here to encourage
I'm here to support
My love's revealed
Forthwith in your court

This bitter anguish
Devours my heart
Thy trepidation
Now rips me apart

Such weight on your shoulders
So much tension and strain
My heart now weeps
And feels your pain

I wish I could transfer
This torment that mauls
But I'm here to absorb
Each tear that falls...

First light of morn, I live for
The dark of night my soul forgave
Forthwith, I needed light
Night lingered like the grave.

Oh, what warm embrace with smile
I revel in light for a while
Henceforth, the Source I see
It gets me on my knees.

Light, water, fresh air I feel
Fortifies every part of me
Therefore, my honey feels
My tender touch from Thee.

            My Wise Granny

        She needs surgery
        Not with virus in progress
        May be gone forthwith
        Her one cataract doth stay
        To a hospital, no chance
        Wherein much viruses dance

Punctuated by the virtual fifth degree, 
 he placed his neck on the line,
 the sucking, pinching tidal wave to slip away from the soft comforts and relapsed boredom.

 The new, energized voices, never spelling the conventional way,
 the pages of books he'd read, once or twice, erased and reread, compounding and retreating back to proto-motion.

 The motion that is now, clear to him, a cog in a single machine....

Listen to poem:

The eyes attempt to deny the angel,
It hides beneath thy lampshade of shame,
It coils the eyelids who fight when able
Weak-skinned blanket to a sword of flame,

Vanity hath swayed thy own laziness,
Crippling the course that remisses peace,
Dull the senses that imparts craziness,
Forthwith, an angel's vigor unleash.

He stands, turns it out, an angel is gone,
Then sun's ten thousand swords, for now, 'tis dawn....

The dawning of an untested day
forthwith descends into view
Afflicted dreams all night
belonging only to you

Your soft responsive sass
and the experience of your velvety skin
The manner in which we finish 
and the avenue we begin

I love your dulcet allude
and how you caress
Your erotic homecoming
and the way you undress

I get lost in your eyes
never wanting to go
You're the woman of my dreams
and my love for you grows...

Peace 
By Michelle Morris
16/11/2020

Peace I give to you, freely;
For peace is a gift for all.
May you be blessed to know peace within,
And find peace everywhere you go...

Peace I pray for our nations,
All around the world;
May peace build more bridges,
And tear down dividing walls...

Peace I bless to every home,
For all of life on earth;
May we embrace peace forthwith,
To celebrate His heralded birth...

Forthwith over these ramparts be
What life and liberty means to me
The soldiers who gave their lives
That went to strife by their wives
So poignant be, what’s left instead.
Then are we saved from what’s ahead?

Tomorrow’s days we cannot replace, 
What yesterday’s left, without a trace.
For all the soldiers who gave their lives
That are only remembered by their wives
Will it make a difference, in the end.
Or is it all for naught, I can’t comprehend....
