it’d be impossible for a leopard to change their spots outwardly 

however, that same leopard had a significant change inwardly...

Through your eyes
You can see me
All of me outwardly
But when you smile
You got me inwardly
You got my heart
You captivate my soul
As I smile you back....

concepts 
         of existence
signposted,
evidenced
inwardly
          outwardly:
authentic
concrete
         illuminated
yet complex
remains
           instinctive
at its core...

bemused..
   in wonder
deep
     in an avalanche
of
emotions:
this mystery
of
   living,
inwardly
    possessed
illusory answers
dismissed
    by
       ignorance
with
a wave
          & shrug...

This weather-worn stone statue of him:

Cross-legged under a tree, surrounded by

Flowers in the garden;

The expression on his face fixed inwardly, Knowing, placid,

Be it Spring, Summer, Fall or Winter....

Sun and Earth spinning, universes burning, inwardly yearning
Knowledge and learning, warmness in the darkness turning

Spirit and soul, love kept beside my bed in a bowl
A cold winters night and stove full of coal...

Easy to get along with
except with myself

Kind and supportive
to everyone else

Outwardly auspicious 
while inwardly flagitious

Gentle and sweet
in everyone's books

But being me isn't
as easy as it looks...

Brave Hanks, 'midst the Normandy storm,
Led his men, keeping them warm.
He'd yell, "Find that Ryan!"
While inwardly sighin',
"My pension? Is that the new form?"

Echoing Light

 

echoes in

the night

 

claim the

birthed light,

 

then inwardly

it races surely

 

now the heart

is it's stopping place...

 

and we're becoming

God's shining face

Boggledy Mindalot
Benoit B. Mandelbrot
Perfect recursion sought
Infinitely!

Franticly, fractally
Near-mathemagickly
Spiraling endlessly
Exquisitely!

Bratwurst and sausages
Mandelbrot hostages
Escaping inwardly
Labyrinths for me!...

retracting from crassness
in order to protect our soul
although aversion manifests
we accept detractor’s  ordained role

the ones who betray love
we notice they inwardly die
caused by delusion of course 
in time all souls will wingless fly...

Its hard to turn my head
I am fairly inwardly focused

Its hard to catch my eye
I do so much time flies

Its hard to catch my imagination
but you can do it every time with inspiration

You are inspiring me - Artimus 10/11/2023 (C) Susan Manley...

Spiritual fruits upon a tree
Ripened,ready for all to see;
Sincere,gentle inwardly kind
Set at one,in a peace-filled mind;
Temperate,diligent and pure
Understanding& perseverance will nurture;
Brotherly love and hope will ensure
An orchard in bloom until mature....

To suffer thus 
Outwardly steel 
Absence of fuss

Inwardly crumble 
Smile never fading
Tumble after tumble 

Solitary tears
Sear cold flesh
Release silent fears

Forget, move on
Tomorrow another day 
Forgot, gone

To suffer thus 
Is only human
like us...

David sang of Deliverance
Blessed in God's mercy
We sing of forgiveness
Great is God's Love
Our sins washed away
Transgressions out of sight
Humans love disobedience too
You know us inwardly
Yet Grace is available
When we turn away
From sins besetting humanity...

Sat in silence
Ill malfeasance
Lingering softly
Eerily' aloft he
Never did know
Carefree and slow
Eerie always lasts

Evanescenced ephemerally
Never fitting inwardly
Died today
So please pray




~The silence engulfed another victim, in the forest the tree heard him fall....

When I am all by myself
Lethargy possesses me
And the creativity lying
Deep within me, oozes out.

I become intensely alert
Inwardly and sit quietly
Pondering, over the
Meaning of existence.

I glide with the wings of 
Feelings and imagination
To soar into the realms of
Varied visions of creation....

Shining brightly flashes of white light 
into spectral colours sparkle inwardly 

Atoms arranged within a crystal structure domed 
a gemstone takes shape measured from the clarity of beauty
 
Within diamond ultraviolet wavelengths transmit visible
jewel jubilantly crowned regally royal gift...

O' how weary, the branches of the weeping willow tree,
would seem...
tears fall from the leaves,
and leaves such the scene;

...before the eyes.

Yet remembering the deepth,
inwardly...
to which the root of a thing goes,
leaves the expression
of just how strong
a weary looking thing can be....

I	Inwardly looking
N	Noting my flaws
T	Taking stock
R	Remembering my youth
O	Observing my growth
S	Sadly, reflecting
P	Perennially regretting
E	External poison
C	Contemplating life remaining
T	Till something makes sense
I	In the world I call home
O	One must admit
N	Nothing ever changes but never stays the same...

"smile"

as light reflects
smile with gratitude
watch the sparkle grow
let beauty show

when darkness shadows
smile through burdens
feel such stress lift
see life shift

unfold blessings outwardly
release weight inwardly
smile through highs and lows
touch all rainbows

Food prices rise, the people despair
Of long lines of vehicles for miles
Overwhelmed by need
Desperation tires their minds

Linda, single Mom, grips steering wheel
Inwardly asks, "How did I get here?"
Never thought it would happen to her family
Empathic food bank volunteers load her trunk
Sobering all-season snapshot of the U.S....

Margin was short,
minute and hair breadthed,
he smiled outwardly,
and inwardly grimaced,
hid the inner pain,
and buttered the whole main,
His lordship came forward,
quite ingratiated,
waving hands,
he conjured an ace,
of his grace,
which now began to race,
lordship had obliged,
had the margin hedged,
he came out with a winner's badge....

Her hips leaves her loves,
Kisses in the wind,

As she sashays luminous,
As a champagne moon,

The vintage shore,
Unwinds in the ultra neon lights,

As bonfires hymn in the starry nights,
Her vintage sashay,

Inwardly lit, from the sweetness,
that tenderly strides,

Its as if she glides,
Her beauty in the candles of our love
Reynaldo Casison...
