Glory

My ethereal eyes
gaze the night sky;

the moon and the stars;
clustered brilliance;
crowned with glory and grander

and I wonder-
wonder with awe.


Premium Member She Walks Through the Door

A brazen chime, did eyes fare grander?
Her inward jazz, knowing--love me now.
O patient, quiet reins
Save tomorrow
Under violet's waltz. 
Xerxes' yelping zenith.

Cleaning Up The Mess

In suit of orange, he strides the scene
With tweets like whirling winds, sharp and keen
Promises made to sweep the debris
A tumultuous path to a grander decree

Garden Archways

Of a foaminess hung
Rose-round, odorous
Or what, ivy-musty, a sturdy
Held up ruin pose as
No grander is one led
Nor quite as gracious
Up paths, though rough, to doors, though warped
Than neath one's bricked mass.

Adore the Journey

The grander dreams you dream, the higher you must soar.
to overcome your fate; the journey, you'll adore.

But dream just timid dreams and if your fate you dreamt,
your dreams will all come true, with nothing to attempt.

The Death of My Cat

The death of my cat
is grander than my entire life,

And his very first cry
is stronger than my very first love.

Look upon this, O humans—
Your grand sorrows are, after all,
nothing but mere footprints
beneath the soft jelly of his paws.

Books

I love to read
To hide in the depths of a
 great story
With drama outside my own life
Pretending their existence is much 
worse than mine
I dismiss my own troubles in order
to dive into the turbulent waters
of a grand stage
and an even grander life.

This night-
                      Will always shine,
               Far grander than the sheen, 
   Charmed from the street by your green eyes... 
                            My love.

Hill By Hill , a Travail Climbing

Hill by hill, a travail climbing.
Which new outlooks give birth to
Wider, brighter, a mountain valley's.
Deep sighing, as we breathe through.

On a grander appreciative scale
Those life-stepped that culminate
Heaven-reached, soul-released, eying
Earth; rained on compassionate.

J. Frank Dalton (1842-1951)

He rode a twisted trail, 
He lied a tortured, fact-faked tale
Of Jesse James and unexpected shames
Of Quantrill’s carnage, powder-smoke and flames. 

 He wasn’t who he said—
He wasn’t Jesse James, long dead
But something gaudier and grander yet 
Imposter-champion none can forget.

Premium Member Puzzle Pieces

Puzzle pieces here,
Assorted bits;
A grander sphere
To fashion fit.


So much to squeeze,
An awkward lot;
Watch that odd breeze
As unease dots.


Can troubles fit
Such curious waste?
Watch bland odd wit
Arouse strange haste.

I Live Under a Tree With Roots In the Sky

I carve and cut my quarters from a cork tree
Intermittently pausing to assess my progress
Young yet yellowing Yggdrasil on the Yangtze 
Getting grander but perishing in the process
Good God gaze at this gape and give a guarantee
Don't let me regress, digress, transgress, or obsess

No Greater Beauty

NO GREATER BEAUTY

No greater beauty hath these eyes seen,
No grander vista nor ocean scene,
No better metaphor could Rumi find,
Nor Browning a more perfect rhyme…
No sweeter music hath graced these ears
No absolute truth could be as clear
Than the golden soul light I did view
In your eyes when you said “I see you”.

Life, Moments and Time

LIFE
ONE DAY RIGHT INTO THE NEXT
LIFE
EACH DAY IS PART OF A GRANDER TEXT


MOMENTS
CAN YOU LEAFN TO SAVOR EACH ONE ?
MOMENTS
SO MANY MEANINGFUL BEFORE EACH DAY IS DONE


TIME
HOW DO YOU MEASURE IT'S ONGOING SPAN ?
TIME
A DWARFED THING IN THE PALM OF GOD'S HAND


LIFE
MOMENT BY MOMENT RIGHT INTO THE NEXT

Premium Member Lost Muse

Emotional funeral for lost relevance. Days, nights, years of abuse, and misuse. endured nightmares as apprentices. With the utterly shifting views, this is confusing. Yet, nothing is grander to me than this existence. I would like to chase it after being oozed. Beyond gaining affection for my muse.

Premium Member Life After Life

Listen to poem:
in the chill of morning air
a presence surreal yet tangible

its silence a fulfilled longing
as the sun begins to rise

life in all its glory revealed
within a grander plan

still the cynic caterpillar
refuses to believe

The Black Cuillins of Skye

A fearful, jagged place
Yet wondrous to the eye.
A place for hardy mountaineers,
The Black Cuillins of Skye.

No place for the timid
Imposing in their might,
But to stand and look upon
There's ne'er a grander sight.

Interlopers amid rolling hills
A ridge of fierce repute,
Standing aloof, magnificent
They challenge rope, and boot.

Premium Member Appetite

Lost my appetite for life
A simplex you call depression
All breathe to ride for what?
A rage of hormone induced default
Exposing lies much grander than the skies
Unnatural, all just a fallacy
Nothing can be done
Hanging on a nightmare
Eyes open, lies exposed
All stitching leaves more scars
All exposed, will you call me crazy?
Watch me

Premium Member A New Baby In Australia

This is an event grander than any other.
A friend of mine has become a grandmother.
A girl was born to her son and daughter-in-law.
This is the cutest baby anyone ever saw.
Eight pounds, nine ounces, and fifty-one centimeters in length,
this baby girl named Ashley is the picture of strength.
This is a most blessed event.
There is a new life on the Australian continent.

If Only

If only

I could color the darkness

nod and smile, understand it.

If only

I could squint and see my path

not beg

every breath to be my humane euthanasia.

If only

I could be less afraid

made of grander things

than the pebble that is my soul.

If only 

I could burst the bubble I occupy,

instead of being

I could not be.

Is that an option I can have?

Perception

What appears to the eye
uncovers the soul
with infinite truths 
of both light and black

Hearts cling too dearly
to their perished flames
Sailing wept waters
that stream slowly aback.

We live and die as one
fruit of prized passions
that bind and blind us
on some grander scale

Questions soar through seasons
Obscure, unanswered
Shielding the secrets
only love should unveil.

Consciousness

Consciousness, the spark within our minds,
Unveils the world where meaning finds.
It weaves our thoughts and shapes our view,
An inner light, both old and new.

With it, we ponder life's grander schemes,
Reflecting on all our hopes and dreams.
Through consciousness, we sense and feel,
The joys, the sorrows, all that's real.

It lets us know our very being,
In every moment, metaphysical.

Premium Member Yo Mama (Where Clouds Live)

Within the moving mirror of life
I'll often lose my face
And pebbles I've collected in my hands
Dust into the air like meaningless seekers
Like the lot of us 
Who have trouble settling into the everydayness

Where clouds reflect over water
Where my face becomes a grander sum of the self
Where nothing ever dies

And what's lost is nudged by nature
to be found in the puddles where clouds live.

Walking With God

As we go about our day
do we see what he made? 
Do we stop and gaze
or continue through the maze
of our life.

His grander
is all around 
as we wonder
through our days.
The sun in its array
the night filled with stars
the peaceful sounds.

As we go day
to day
go hand 
In hand
with the lord.
He will guide
you in the way
to go in the maze.
If we stray
we can pray
to find our way
back his way.
