Short Outwards Poems

Dark empty nothing
Bulging forever outwards
... No aliens yet...

Old and worn—
The dead branches inward die
Outwards, gnarled for life...

Several white clouds
In the blue sky
Looks like snow patches
Stretching outwards...

Man caries within himself the truth of the Cosmos yet he looks outwards it to find!

a picturesque
extravagance,charming
unsurpassed in beauty:
the detail 
smooth black
on which lightness
dwells,
then recedes
outwards,upwards
downwards
to the floor...

Two sisters sit beguiled in common guilt;
all that is left.
That
and denials;
bitterness 
turned outwards;
inwards too painful.
Truth, a casualty
like lost children.
Love, just a word....

All alone but happy still, Vibrant, Full, Delighted, Outwards stretched rays of yellow, Holding strong, foundation grounded, Moving with the ebb and flow of forces uncontrolled, Smiling to whoever stares, Hoping maybe they do care....

The sky is a lively witness to waiting
The light shines it rays outwards
For those who see, it shines a beacon in a dark place
It resonates mystery
But the dance moves on without you
Only the rich burn umber smell of time remains...

searching for motivation 
looking inwards but its no
were to be found
looking outwards still its 
no were to be found
why is there no motivation 
any were where has it all gone
oh wait that´s right it was never there
in the first place...

shh says the soul
I must not be seen
The feathered wings of hope spread prone
seek its final rest
Inside the unseen argues with the unnoticed
Sound and words defty fill the ether
and secrets kept between myself
rip outwards for acceptance...

The ripples grow
When a pebble hits the water
The ripples grow
An act of kindness ripples too
When acted on by me to you
A wave will roll outwards on cue
The ripples grow

the whole of "universe" they say
has once been prey
to this dark patch
lil strange to watch

can neither say if is inwards
or just outwards
emptiness spread
But sure is bread

bread from which the breeding began
as earth's region
then life started
or created...

When the sun shines bright
With the blue sky seen 
the sunshine teases 
Shining like diamonds
On the frozen snow
That has spread outwards

The sun shining bright
Sun glasses needed
To block the rays
Looks like diamonds
Shining sparkling
Brightly in the sunlight...

the human entity that feels
employs body as a springboard
in bondage to gender and tendencies
looking outwards then reviewing inwards
the pulse of duality from fulcrum of oneness
celebrating even delusion made possible by form

thus both captive and free

Mind-body cage, looking outwards
What’s there but illusion
Until attention shifts inwards 
We are in delusion

God awaits our presence
Within heart’s innocence 
Clue is blissful fragrance

Battles we wage
Mind-body cage

Behold not the countenance 
    of beauty.
It is deceitful.
    At dawn ,it glows.
At zenith, it allures.
    At dusk, it withers.

Embrace beauty that 
    Radiates the goodness 
Of the heart outwards-
    Enriching every soul it falls upon.
And can stand 
    The test of time....

---note: read the poem down then up---

 Tombstone,
Spiraling Floral design,
Swirls around upwards,
Green leaves plastered

Red roses blooming,
Thorns protruding outwards,
A thicket of deciet, fatal
Deep wounds, betrayal

Laceracions dance on the arm,
Blood spilling,
Skin paling,
Summoning death...

An egg’s hatched.
The eagle swoops in search,
For quarry to carry in its pick.

The shell cracks; emerges outwards slowly the chicks.
They shuffle tenderly with cautious steps and flicks.
The eagle smiles post a quick survey.

Finds one shell for both prey;
Flies away.

Ripples in a pool, like the ramblings of a fool,
Arc outwards and die, like us all, you and I.
Incurable romantics, and, despite the semantics,
No man is an island, we are one under the skin,
Be it gay, straight or bi, we are all of one kin.
Only remember, we are what we are
Wisps of dust, born of the same star....

MICE OF MEN

What mice
What men?
Thundering roars
Quaking earth
rocking foundations
sorry mortals
Mice of men

Glaring night
flashing light
who stands within?
To see the raging squall
as mice of men
tremble in fear
staying from sight
furies awesome might
so small outwards
with Omnipotent inner
little mice
smaller men....

SUMMER SUNRISE
The sun blooms on the horizon, golden petals stretching ever outwards into the rich blue. It is the brilliant flower of the sky warming our summer days and inviting us to a fresh start. 
crimson, scarlet, rose
sunrise hues slowly ascend
morning’s gentle start

They begin to turn
Slowly unravelling
Arms unfurling, 
then skirts,
Spreading outwards
Lifting upwards

Softly stepping
Grounding down
Their feet repeat 
the pattern 
On the earth
One around the other

Whirling round
Their circular orbit
Expanding out
ascending through
Sama and devotion
Ecstasy and love 
...

"Mirrored"

Yeah its bittersweet
jagged roads stagger
then homeward 
bound

the ripples roll 

like smooth stones 
thrown
across a pond
see them

concentric
repeating 
outwards
inwards

outwards

the captured
skipping across 
freedom
stories 

mirrored

In her hands she carries all of her words
Compassion and desire are favorites
She often will intensely write backwards
In her hands she carries all of her words
Her writing is smooth and very outwards
She never sounds below or desperate
In her hands she carries all of the words
Compassion and desire are favorites
