Short Life Form Poems

A leaf, a palm print
Depicts branches of its life form
Read in many tongues...

Virulent life-form
ravages its fragile host.
Conclusion: excise!

An eighteen-inch trilobite, which is me.
Related to spiders and crabs….tee hee.
Advanced life form.
Will not conform.
If you want me, I’ll be in the sea....

Their once was a living door called Able, 
That did curve and bend, very capable, 
When I approached to go through, 
Facilitating and friendly just like you, 
And I so often wished that Able was datable....

an almost alien
landscape that
takes my eyes
down past my
mound shaped
horizon

it has been such
a long time since
looking beyond
my own overlook
surprised to find
a cactus

it's alright
but don't
touch
for it
may
be a

prick...

Mainstay of madness
Ebon hearted  gravity
Temporal maelstrom

Anthropomorphic
Planetary energy
HEART of world TERAH

Yawning Void Dreadnaught
Superluminal warship
Infernal machine

Carbon based life form
Ancient beyond reckoning
Learned the ways of peace...

Merging into the chorus

I glanced at the night sky
Mesmerizing/Spellbinding

This carbon-based life form 
Started to break into p.i.e.c.e.s

As the mosses desperately approach the light
All of my p.a.r.t.i.c.l.e.s 
Head toward the sun
Not waiting for its rise...

The loving heart
Is where it renews
Each moment starts

Union to ignition!

In prayerful surrender 
We enter Gods heart
In childlike wonder

Soundless explosion!

Each life form we see
Enlivened by God within
If we look mirrorlessly 

In blissful elation!

Night creature
Forsaken
Slithering
Unperceived
Charging through
Machinelike
Stealth engine
Frozen breath
Smoldering
Steely eyes
Dark life form
Growing near
Fire spitting
Dragon breath
Snuffling prey

It‘s alive!
A life form 
Thriving on hatred
Reaped from societies
Greatest blunder 
Like lighting
Follows thunder  
We are following our ancestors 
Reproducing civilization   
Mistake 
Disregard the fact
That we are all human
our blood is red
I smirk when I’m contented 
And shed tears when I’m poignant
We are all equal
cease  this schism 
And trounce racism...

lights traveled across the sky
in a adorning, yet feistive way
shattered stars collide
fate have ultimately decide
the solar planets
the mother of all life form resides
conquering the night
and showing courage and pride in battle
behind the eyes of glass
time is frozen in stone
without people we're all alone
the treasure we seek is near
just look under the windows sphere...

Here I am by your side. A friend and enemy. not telling you a lie but not quite honest either. 
Here I am on the stairs by your side again. Your parents fight and you quiver at the sight but 
I am here do not fear.
  I am here in your life we would not be without eachother and together we are one. 
Together we make up the universe and are not such a simple life form as they precieved us 
to be...

Labour

Apoplectic murmurs as flesh contracts
Pacing and wandering in haze
Elation merged panic as the gas flows
Time is now forgotten
Life is imminent through waiting bitten lip
Scrunched fist and curled toes
Three wails, twists and reels
No position apparent, no decision made
Nature proceeds, hallucination then engulfs
Gravity descends life form 
Transient separation and then…
Life anchors to openness....

Over in the sky,
Inebriating clouds 
Wobble no more;
Both snowy, murky sides,
Don't blend together,
To sparkle any more;
Dry lake in wait of rain,
Gaze at scattered clouds;
Entreat thou to forgive,
The sins by living soul;
Supplicate for some drops,
Come, come drop thy 
Emotive drops of nectar;
Quench my thirst;  
Wet my deep burning soil;
Fertile me so I bloom,
All life form rely on me;

Pay attention to the birth
The birth is the most perilous beginning of all
Now dangerous is just the thing
To get me wondering if the birth is precarious

Pay attention to the longevity
The longevity is the most durability oldness of all

I saw the wooly life form 
Of my generation destroyed
How I mourned the human

Why would you think the existence is big?
The existence is the most little natural object of all...

magic of life
renewal continual
which no life form resists
except man trapped in mind
dwelling in delusions of grandeur 
acknowledging not underlying reality 
of God’s life force that enables existence 

regeneration, change and transmutation
within form in a seamless continuum 
is simply the breath of God Himself
signalling ego is but inert dust
made alive by Holy Spirit
God’s kinetic energy
held in the void ...

in a storm of Uncertainty
haunting signs of conspiracy
rise from the stands
whisper from the sands
papers mailed to hands
invasion of many lands
an invisible enemy
crosses land and sea
an invader from inner space
arms from a hidden face
attach to the human race
technology stares into outer space
to find an alien life-form trace
while fingers point to a hidden room
with white coats that weave their genetic loom
still life is lost way too soon...

Some of the most wonderful surprises happen in the form of a human newborn.

When they get here, life as we know it is meaningless, redundant, and absurd.

Nothing is ever the same because there is another person, a unique life form.

A baby breathes new life into a family, brings a new song never before heard.

My mother, my daughter, and I were all blessed with an unexpected newborn.

One of our most favorite blessings, the surprise of surprises, we have all concurred....
