Held

As he pulls you from the earth
Gods progress halted
War scorched angels sent
below to intercede
returned defeated
by the man who wont let go

Trace

Paw-prints in the snow
Frozen in time;
Tracks once swift halted,
Still but already gone;
A trace of thee untraceable,
An anonymous signature
Of something which was.

Amidst the Flowing Waters

I walk through the shores,
Leaping through the sands,
I hear the roaring waves,
The chirping birds, 
The busy winds,
Then I heard a voice,
I halted and looked around,
Hoping to see someone,
But no one was in sight.


Eyes

Eyes
This is where the story
starts and ends
and where my fear begins
My steps upon the stair
halted concrete around foot ensnares
Around  the bottom step
evil makes it way
And once more my screams announce the day

IN CRAMPING BOWELS OF SHAME	

Defecated bigotry and political rhetoric,
Constipates justice and infects racism
With diarrhea—dehydrating vulnerable humanity:-
Meanwhile, halted here in the heated air of agony,
We sad souls sit here crying in cramping apathy:-

Touched From Up High

From the spirit of God comes inspiration , hope , dreams upon to men . It is empowered by God and activated by faith . It is unshakeable by natural circumstances , nor limited by the limitation's of the mind . Not halted by the physical . It is God's transforming grace .

I Can'T Forget You

The candle flickers and stops 
The dark is leaves me thinking of 
A night halted in pain
Was this all in vain?

The trees whisper a soft song 
Outside my window all night long 
The dark's replaced your sweet voice 
This wasn't our choice.

But I can't forget you.
Form: Lyric

Quiet

I am not a quiet person,
so if words are halted
somewhere in the apex of my lungs
or energy is girdled in my rib cage,
refusing to resonate with the beats of my heart,
there is something wrong
and i need you to know the difference between
how i am
and
how i should be

signs of autumn

end of summer

growth is now halted
the days are growing shorter
a mere hint of warmth




a season turns

a nod to summer
the season looking both ways
prepares for winter




fallen leaves

the leaves will now fall
in a blaze of red and gold
their loss expected

Premium Member Ice, Ice, Baby

The rivulets of ice hang greedily
To barren brown basalt
Drooling downward steadily
Like ribbon candy halted
a crystal ooze assault.

Sweet sap cascading readily
frozen curtain seldom parted
clothe the breast of earth joyously
leave in mist oh mistress tart…
pierce not the lingering heart.

Distance

Life as we know it suddenly halted,
people falling ill,
breath lightening,
cough increasing,
young and old alike,
no immunity,
little understanding,
less time given.
Tears dropping like rain,
close but far away,
alone we enter,
alone we leave,
together we mourn,
together we pray...
but alone we must stay.

Premium Member Let Me Have a Lollipop

Let me have one Gladys our neighbor said.
Sour apple lollipop made by Ned.
She took a long lick
Effect was so quick
Face swelled up bigger than our queen bed

To our immediate untold surprise
She was so puffed up, it hid her eyes.
We called nine one one
Which halted our fun
Gladys was hospitalized, no big prize.

Life Without Soup

Poetic thoughts would be halted
The community would not exist
This family that's been created would not be mourned or missed
There would be no contests, prizes, or honorable mentions
There would be no smiles, frowns, or conventions
There would be no thoughts written down in oodles
There would be no need for us -As Soupers

One Day a Message Will Come

One day a message will come
Delivered by some
profoundly bored face
Or a voice to trace…

Barely a sentence spared
For such news.
Nobody cared—
Nobody halted, nobody stared…

But one day
a message will come
From the other end
Of the world
—Suddenly all sand—
Spent to the core
And blind
Shutting the door behind.

Mimicry

Out of a dark-wet laboratory,I came amputated.

To grab a world out of my grasp.

When all my limbs are halted,comes a "god"

Off stylomastoid foramen,

Praying-pass the ganglion of difficulty,

Wielding,five headed- sword;all for me.

Upon my genu, I hail thee.O almigthy,

Life

The bird flew
The beagle halted
Raindrops fell, but only a few
The ice melted, the leaf dropped
The ground salted

Regretting some choices, to name a few
Uncertainty looming
Limited openings, naming two

The quest goes on
Not always forward
The sun sets
The object is drawn
People dance
Around and around
Its all chance

A JUNETEENTH HAIKU QUATRAIN 

Freedom seed sown,
its's germination halted;
it's reaping delayed:-

The fruit of freedom,
takes a long time to be reaped
and may rot quickly:-

Let's sow Juneteenth seeds
to quickly reap and preserve
throughout our lives:-
 
Today, celebrate:
fertilizing our spirits,
reaping our glory:-

Seed of Love

My little jewel of honour
Wrapped in the soil of my heart
Sown by my beloved
Infinitesimal it was
With time grown a tree
The plump fruit ripened
But now it seems a dream
A leaf drops after another
Soon the branches empty
My beloved nourishing halted
The farther she goes
The drier the tree
And to nought my little seed of honour

Day Thirteen In September

D-ay thirteen in September
H-as brightened your birth; 
A-nother morn has offered
N-ew bunch of million mirth.

F-ine day thirteenth September
E-liminates the rugged clime; 
D-ark clouds are erased too, 
E-ven the perilous time.
R-aindrop at dawnbreak
I-s halted by God's power; 
S-unshine emits his rays, day thirteen in September.

Holy Diver

I’m what they call
Scourge of the sky
From clouds I fall
Don’t ask why

No matter blood and gore
I am the survivor
Through Carnage I soar
The holy diver

Blazing wings beat
All battles halted
Feeling disapproving heat
Shining light, exalted

Wave of judgment flows
To hell I am your driver
I am your pain and woe
The holy diver

Nocturnal Nymph Moaning

bounty boobs blushing
fiddling fingers flinching
eerie emotions fostering
damped desires drooling
locked legs lurching
callous zeal crumbling

mystic moans melting
locked lips fiddling
halted! Then continuity

nocturnal nymph moaning
nimbling lips dripping
nectar of nosing

satyr salient flow
house's an home.
