The Merit of the Soul
When you empty out your
Handfuls of time and drink
From the flask of forever.
You have made it home,
For Heaven is earned, not given!...

I mount its crest-
holding to a point of light-
this time determined to succeed
the journey begun a long time ago
by a small child
at the sea
counting lost handfuls....

Premium Member Lower Coiffure
The thrill of my lips pressing softly on yours The scent of jasmine, Mr. Happy's making overtures Nothing outrageous golly gee Just innocent repartee Perhaps grabbing handfuls of your lower coiffure

Recipie For Happiness
1 cup of sugar

2 handfuls of dreams

¼ teaspoon of wishes

And 3 pounds of memories

3 ½ cups of accomplishments

6 drops of consideration

1 tablespoon of joy and love mixed

And just a pinch of desperation...

Return To Eden
Where a flower grows,
falls a gentle rain, to ease...
all the peoples' pain!

Why the cold wind blows,
has become our shame, 'till love...
restores our good name!

Then when comes the snows,
and the fires wane, we'll ride...
with handfuls' of mane!...

End
Maybe when someone says
They want to end their life,
They just want to take away the pain.
Replace sorrow with sunlight,
Worry with whispers of wind,
Hate with handfuls of love,
But impossibility is too strong a concern,
So ending the pain ends everything....

Two Bonsai Trees
Two bonsai trees 
craving for clouds 
a few handfuls of rain

spiky nuggets 
crying wine glass
fasting salivas 
all might drench
taking the wrench off
the frontal lobe
letting a sprout 
lift it's face

calling lips
on pointed  treetops

Premium Member Meditation In the Sun
At times
I sense handfuls of warmth…
draw to face
deeply inhaling light
knowing supply infinite
and my right to breathe
all of eternity-
If I were a cleric
I might say, "It is God evident!"
But simply a poet
pleasantly finding myself
lost for lines
I transcend words
and revel in silence…....

DIG

Dig with spade and a soulful heart,
Destiny’s soil chambered beneath.
Dust chalice canvas, questing art —
Dovelike Wings of lily bequeath.

Dig deep into the chasm of love —
Desired silty handfuls, free of
Debris, a blessed ruddy start.*

Learn How To Jam
Relax. 
Be calm. 
Place your palms, 
Grab two handfuls of berries 
In basins with raisins. 
Open your mouth. 
Close your eyes. 
Inhale, smell it well 
Then eat, 
Enjoy your treat, 
A messy feat. 
Next your feet. 
Step on your berries 
And raisins in basins. 
Wham, slam. 
Tramp along. 
Sing a song. 
Now you know how to jam!...

Emotional Bursts
Caught in a tangle
Of a love tango triangle
Devoted to a tank load
Of tangled thoughts
Trying to see this through
Sugar coated angles
Emotions flaring and blaring
Becoming hard to handle
So large and more than two handfuls
I'm covered in the tears
Of a thousand crying candles
These feelings have my throat
In a air tight strangle...

Pain
venom running through my veins
silently screaming
scratching deeply at flesh
pulling hair out by handfuls
ripping
tearing
scratching
get it out
it's in my mind
take it out
leave me alone
please
just leave me alone
I hate this
silence choking me
words pounding in my mind
release
please give me release
it hurts
just get it out
please...

Addicted
As I take a sip of this so-called ‘cancer stick’
I feel my lungs blackening 
I tilt my head back and exhale
The suffocating smoke turns into lovely ribbons
This soothing sensation only lasts for a moment, I am aware
When I end the life of this cigarette, stubbing it out
It will only be several handfuls of minutes
Before the lighter is summoned again
I am 
Addicted....

Strike It Rich
Love
A one syllable- four letter word
That we all claim to share
But in reality know very little 
about.
Sought after like a diamond-
But diamonds don't come close,
Because the rarity of love has 
proven true!
For when we seek out love-
We have a better chance to 
strike it rich,
with handfuls of the brilliant 
stone found in love's place.

Semillas
We are to receive a gift
Through a method misplaced
Handfuls of nature chaste

Wandering seeds
Sprout for us vignettes of promise
That we may look upon the world through fresh eyes

Innocuous gems
Sprout for us the warmth of contentment 
That we may grow beyond the reach of suffering

Flora, give as you must
Bring hope to a budding youth
And shelter us from loss...

Premium Member A Modest Promise
I promise
     Not to promise
Waterfalls
     from careless creeks

I vow
     not to allow
Expectations of mountains
     in handfuls of pebbles

I declare
     to be fair
about my dark
     coated heart

I assure
     not to impure
The scarlet blue
     surrounding you

My intent
     though modest bent
Heaven and Earth
     is what you're worth.

Ma’s Tree
Ma’s Tree

Bulbs, lights and tinsel
Ring memories 
Each bulb a treasure
That went on Ma’s Tree

Unpacked with kid gloves 
Like newborn baby’s
Kids dared not touch
Such fragility’s

Ma left the fun part
For all of us kids
Like licking the spoon
Us kids dug right in

Handfuls of tinsel
Were flung on Ma’s tree
Topped with her angel
High up on it’s peak

Throw Back My Drink
The soul burnning aching
of frivolous fear
is an aching crease
in my caring blown-tree
of selfless intrigue
and celeste persona

and blind wisemen
drink handfuls of 
woman's persona

I bathe in dusks warm
embrace and I fall
backwards into the 
wide open hole of my soul
and I wonder on the situation
of the moment

I throw back my drink and
marvel at the grace of my
life and the simplicity of birth...
