On my face

Heart empty
Mind lost
No umbrella...

Mist; 
You fall, you crawl, you roll, 
And into people’s thoughts you seep, 
Like an uninvited dream 
Into foggy brains 
On the edge of sleep …...

hi
polite
kind greeting
uplifting to some, but not to others
who find it intrusive, and invasive.
different feelings
not always

same...

A word that lately gets little traction
     though when used provokes quite a reaction

   I find it singularly persuasive ~ 
     to describe the world today as 'invasive'...

Light comes... ever invading
Brilliant, iridescent
Illuminating all paths

Glows in deepest darkness; can not be hid!

Covid has its grubby hands around my chest
Surrendering me weak and lethargic 
Not feeling the best 

Grubby invasive hands are NOT welcome here 
“GET OUT” of this body
Get lost , disappear ….....

Ghosts 
                  lost, invasive 
       floating,  haunting, wailing
Houses, Mirrors, Mansions, Chandeliers 
   levitating , intruding, lamenting 
           aimless, meddlesome
                      Spirits....

A plant called Mexican Petunia
invasive but beautiful cornflower
blue trumpet shape blooms covered with 
yellow butterflies.....

A	bsolute is the inexplicable love of God
G	racious, pure and priceless, yet free
A	lways constant beyond every circumstance
P	powerful, generous, patient and kind
E	ternal, invasive; for all to taste!

Stomped by intruding and invasive breed, 
Foul footprint of this year is a misdeed -
Two weighty  boots with heavy tread 
Stirred quite a lot of dirt and dread. 
COVID and DONALD just will not concede!

the curse of suburban lawns...

Smile

A design from clouds
That covers a soft red sky
At perfect sunset

Frown

This sky turning grey
From darker invasive clouds
At tearful midday

it’s not often
he let the stress
get to him
anger swell
within
invasive
infectious
festering
no end in sight
his mind
detonate explode
scatter
it’s not often
but today was different
just can’t deal
he let it get to him

There's a plant in my garden,
Looks like a tree.
I didn't plant it,
But I watered it, you see.

There's a plant in my garden,
With roots running deep.
It's sucking the life
Right out of me.

There's a plant in my garden
That's bigger than me.
I didn't plant it,
But I watered it, you see....

Perfectly poised 
To take the photo
Steady hands
Snap the still
A moment in time
Forever frozen
Hung on display
A proud prize
For all to see
The memory still fresh 
Hidden inside
The warmth that came
Being surrounded by the flash
Lingers on
Invasive thoughts
Roam the memory
Hung in view...

Sparkles of thunder my quiet being.
Warmed touch of shoulder wiped my tears.
How invasive in a given day uninvited growth.
Let frozen picture saved in shaking storm.

As carriage brought me here wish to take me back.
To friends claimed wonders in their limits.
Prayed love and respect lend me to wings to fly....

Prophetically sorrowful
A nightmare of a dream
247 passengers inside
No survivors
Broken Wings of a 747
One sad night


Powerfully Invasive
The night the faeries died
Assault rifles issued to the brownies
Who decimated their broken wings
Taking their powers, and then taking them hostage
Sad faeries, hostage wives...

her hair is all over the place
wackadoodle with curls
filling up the space between chairs
stiff burgundy and black locks
twirling around the bottom of our feet
Which would have been okay in normal heat
It is ninety-two degrees in here.
So her wackadoodle hair is slightly irritating
to those of us who have to watch how we move our chairs....

silence
                                    peaceful meditative
                              resting slumbering thinking
                              nap meditation scream wail
                             banging clanging threatening
                                     invasive startling
                                           loudness...

Many lawns are dotted 
With these yellow tufts of gold
And all my life, “They’re ugly weeds!”
Is what I have been told.

Yet dandelions add some pop
Of color to the green
And though they are invasive,
Add some beauty to the scene.

A gardener will argue
That they simply don’t belong,
But since I have no garden,
Such a statement just seems wrong.
