Seeing Clear

it's easy to forget
to let yourself live
without force
feel in instants
with no remorse
of course
i'm still here
yet i'm walking 
on my fear
seeing clear
in an unclear
world.


Premium Member Frozen Emotive Clock


time stops to slip in ebony night, emotive clock freezes eternal pathos in congealed instants, silhouetted in the shadow of past, smears the strata of darkness, designed to disguise perception lattice

Sun of My Soul

O’ my Sun,
you bestow me the ray, to live…
to love…

You shine over the drought-land
of my heart…
making it prolific…
to dream
my beam!

Stay burnishing over me
all the days & nights
all the seasons & instants…
without winking for 
a whilst…

Streets of Desperation

In tune with the edge of the wind's violent surges,
We brace a calm that grasps these silent urges.
It’s the heat of the instants that’ll write these verses.

The avenue intensifies the eagerness of the day.
As you can see, there is no one here to stay.
I'll just grab your hand and fly you far away.

Love In February

My life is not so bad!

I have again the happy instants,

Because I write the in-love poems 

to someone.

February, February!

Please, do not cook for us

The new blizzards.

Instead of that, please

send cheerful letters to Spring.

My dear February, you understand:

that  we still can love,

We are young and, perhaps,

we are immortal!

Premium Member Time Is Fluid

A life is a story told in the arc of time.
Time is fluid, white as light,
And glittering with flecks of brilliance,
Liquid moments leaking away over the years.
Sometimes I feel as if I am inside a mirror
Watching my life leaking away.
The world outside seems insubstantial,
As if the present is a dream,
And only my memories are solid,
And alive, and now,
The only clear instants in the fluid of time

Premium Member It's In the Details

Listen to poem:
it’s in every little thing we did
the micro details throughout the day
the ones no one would understand

these are
the moments
i miss most

i remember my life as
mini minute minuscule instants
each filled with love for you

how now every
microscopic beat
has me longing for you

through warm lingering fog
i’m somehow forging my way
blessed with the memory of you

Instants

Momentarily he is a lad again
smelling the perfume of a young love.

Now on this morning, the snow carries
a peppermint and lilac scent
and he an old man searching.

Here comes a ragged flight of crows,
he squints in the cold sunlight dazzled.
He recalls the same crows
when he was young, the same bright snow
almost blue under their wings.

Did any of this change -
the girl, the crows, the scent,
the sense of it all?

Premium Member Stay Strong

Stay Strong Written: by Miracle Man 4-25-2020 We all experience instants of apprehension, and denial or concealment is never healthy. While COVED-19 has caused some dissension, since birth, this virus, has moved about stealthy. When we sense fear begin to rise in our being, and to say we’ve never feared is a falsehood. Things won’t remain as we’re currently seeing, God will turn adversity into something good.

"If a clown don't make you laugh, that's because you're an adult from Mars," ... by The Poet 'Tis magical youth-phemism plays its part, and subtle measures of bliss-phemism chart, a suite chambered core harmonized whose heart, discovers a treasured keepsake impart, photogenic instants a kid's jump start, when purposed failure is a work of art, amidst submerging laughter comes apart, until the clown blasts, "Kids you're a sweetheart!"

Premium Member The light of the past



Though I’ve always known that the light of the past was something
recognized, it’s only now I see
that the light of the past is the light of dreams: the light
in which things happen forever, where every laugh
retains the dew of a universe caught at dawn,
where the pride of the wounded heart renews its song
in an endless bloom of instants, and where the loves
we knew then inexhaustibly still live.

"Imagine your friends getting closer to your imagination," by Poet Dawning ... thinking sleepers, entries processing norm, advent instants absorbed purpose, visions. Drawing ... mental pictures, banquets divine eyefuls, humankind imagines its goals, blueprints. Devise ... managed control, targets fastest shortcuts, proven values access success, brainstorms. Dreamer ... taking pleasure, building airy castles, lighted tunnels edging extremes, awakes.

Sense of Humor

cracks between doors,
like rats, fingers course
thru, corrode against
the inside of a clenched
fist. cease, this silence,
i insist(bite tongue, each
word, penance)suffer,
humor is a sense-
shattered glass tickle
bare feet- the caveat
of clenched teeth. mis-
placed morality, i do
appreciate your sin-
cerity; fate compromised
(the hands of time, 
mesmerised in back&forth 
instants). "it is okay"
someone will say; but 
words change & fall away
like leaves, all intent
bereaved.
