Short Intervenes Poems

These souls of ours continue on,
Unchanged, connected for all time;
Believe, when distance intervenes,
That my core carries part of you,
And yours likewise has care of mine....

Lying in bed
Streching limbs
Slowly sinuously
Gently

Snow is falling
Forecast is bad
Budget Day is here
Reality intervenes
Anxiety filters in
I get up stiffly
To absorb it all...

                        nature 
intervenes
                                  
atmospheric arrow parts -
                                                
spring kiss prevented

Apples baked
Create delicious
Edible food,
Gracious heaven
Intervenes joy,
Knowing luscious
Moistness,
Never overpowering,
Plain quenching
Richness,
Surrendering to
Undeniable visions,
While Xeroxing,
Youthful zeal...

mists enshroud the trees

          sol intervenes to sear earth

                    haze will dissipate

When I write about what I can attest to,
I'm often left with only cheap thoughts,
On even cheaper paper.
But when God intervenes,
Cheap thoughts and cheaper paper
Become as fine parchment or a priceless scroll,
Always accomplishing that which He intends....

Awake tonight
Sleep escapes
No personal peace
When changes occur,
Nothing is forever.

Strife ends peace
With drought of love
And intervenes in personal calm.

Mind wandering,
I fight through a jungle
Crowded with memories
And images of youth...
Images that crashed....

The devil tap dances on the edge of your desperation
Your fate upon on a spinning coin of revelation
Faith nourishes as some lead without hesitation
Fear and greed lead to many a soul’s dehydration
God intervenes, protects His children – Salvation

When money intervenes
There is little resistence
When man thinks of money
There is no place for others
Not even God
Whenever man thinks of God
There are too many requests
Money, power, happiness, longivity and many more
But man always
Forgets to reserve a place in the heart
For "Him", the almighty god....

Sue
soulful
spirited
a go-getter
raising her children the best that she can

Mae
angry
often down
tired a lot
her child finds his own food at young age

Lynn
watcher
tries to help
cannot take sides
as their mother she is in a pickle

Bill
often
intervenes
this is okay
because Sue and Mae are both Daddy’s girls...

In the information age,
we know too much about each other
Too much good and too much bad,
that sets our minds to wander
No longer touching what we once loved,
no longer finding what we once held in our arms
No longer listening to the sweet voice of mystery
that charmed the deep emptiness
 —which now intervenes

(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2020)...

When my thoughts start this song
It feels like a slow moving train,
Becoming from two tracks a single one
Much like the trickle from the drops of rain.
How shall I begin to let you in?
To a LOVE that echoes again
Across the distance that intervenes.
In my daze my words are a maze
I pray for God's LOVE that saves
With you coming straight out of my dreams....

erupts

Does refusing to see,
 cloud your vision again,
Does refusing to hear,
 bring on deafness my friend
If you close all the doors,
 does silence descend,
Till lonliness intervenes,

Refusing to love,
Brings bad tidings and then,
Solo the path, & solitudes, when,
Set on them chickens,
 like clukky ole hen,
Till love erupts on the scene.

circus haiku

coming of circus
summers biggest fun event….
wait seems forever

eight year old girl sees
glamorous trapeze artists…
through myopic eyes

diary explodes
magical high flying acts…
new life’s ambition

duty intervenes
diary lies unopened…
trapeze acts a dream

advanced age hampers
high flying acts beyond reach....
bungee jump perhaps...

Days we spend are lovely 

Dances we do pretty

Daggers unsheathed sometimes

Downpour intervenes then

Distress becomes eustress

Dews come on silken leaves

Delightful days come back

If all things end, then the end must also end
If nothing exist where does it exist
Is there a point outside of nothingness
Some barrier where nothing becomes something
Where are all the thoughts we have
trapped within the muscle and pulses
Tolerating life 
The guard that keeps its host imprisoned
until death intervenes
If only we could release the innocence of thought
and let it stare blinking at the universe
What wonders would we be...

On the edge
Slightly out of vision
Chaos

No, thank you
I’ll take my social order
On rye
Hold the onions

Hey, I wanted rye
Every day reminds us 
Untidy chaos intervenes

Deny it and go mad
Face it and imagine war

To be involved in life is to be involved in battle
There is no escape
Cave dwelling aesthetics are fools
Thus sings the auspicious one

Learn to struggle
Honorably
Graciously
Nobly

It’s not about the win
Which, in any event, is
Ultimately
Futile....

Goodbye said in an ICU
No goodbye at the other frontline
A shot to the head
Elsewhere, a shot to revive
Fear destroys.
A doctor intervenes to stop a forever-goodbye
Elsewhere doctor fights to be a survivor
Good bye to a culture
In a dark corridor is the new human endeavour
Goodbye- a language in vernacular
In silence and broken connections 
In every conceivable horror
Witness this last wars of warriors
Despairing universe has set the sun on fire....

Morning about talked,
Every household forward looked to,
A country full of political parties is it,
My family we walked to poll,
Stood at all angles,
To give a tick to several faces,
That focused to see our tick,
To elect a new era,
Young all established,
a new rule- constitution,
Prayers marked,
To a peacefull voting,
Kenya it is,
Each tribe looking for there own,
How I payed that God intervenes,
When my country shall vote as one race,
One culture, and one people....

I’m leaving on vacation soon,
My suitcase mostly packed,
But certain items I’m deciding
If I should extract.

That extra long-sleeved shirt?
And will I really wear my jeans?
I need a packing fairy
Who swoops in and intervenes.

She’d point her wand and I would have
Exactly what I need
And from the drama in my mind
I’d thankfully be freed.

But as it is, I’ll do the job
And while I’m gone, I bet
I’ll agonize ‘bout things I brought
And those I did forget....

The constant is postponed,
by the fall of a silent army,
a cold welcoming is quickly followed.

A mind interrupts the concord,
supplying a nourishment of
indescribable strangeness.

The lack of neutrality intervenes
with the up and coming flow,
inviting a rude awakening.

The future is now submerged 
with an uncomfortable past,
washing away any sort of obscurity.

Completing it's sole function,
it quickly strives to leave with 
the unmemorable aftertaste 
of the conditioned body....

Christmas morn
when they were small,
we were up before the 
crack of dawn.

Here I sit on Boxing day.
Mid morning, alone.
My sleepy heads
have still not shown.

Stove lit, heating on.
Like a shepherd waiting
for a lamb to be born.
Only mine are adults now.

Such peaceful time to reflect
Damaged lives have been reset.
I never believed our hearts 
would heal as well as this.

We are closer even than before
Daddy was shown the door.
Who needs Santa
when love intervenes?...
