Restful energy collecting
With moving visions that come,
Lite within easy reach,
Single purpose in mind.

Preludes and overtures,
Contatas and riffs,
Scores of passages lined
Inlaided and veneered.

Premium Member Trials of Love

Answers better come daily,
even for good-hearted individuals.
Justice keeps lives,
making noticeable overtures.
People quietly reach solitude.
Treating understandable voices
with XOXO, yielding zaniness.

The thrill of my lips pressing softly on yours The scent of jasmine, Mr. Happy's making overtures Nothing outrageous golly gee Just innocent repartee Perhaps grabbing handfuls of your lower coiffure

Premium Member Self-doubt


Late autumn afternoon 
on the beach a broken branch
sways to the overtures
of lapping waves, contemplating
on whether to trust again after
the pain of wind’s betrayal.

Borderless

People 
surround
but I’m always
alone
In naked
seclusion
fleeing
the throne
Caught in 
the snarl
of their
consonant rhyme
Shunning
all 
overtures
— fields still unlined

Poetry

Pleasures of ones heart and mind,
Overtures that sing when read.
Experience's within life we find.
Treasured feelings that one has said,
Revelations of words written with passion,
Your life, love, heartbreaks, told with no ration.

Premium Member Wheat Field

She lay down 
among the verdant wheat
listening to swishing overtures,
supine, eyes slightly closed; 
relishing the blue of a spring sky 
wishing she were the white cloud
that appeared out of nowhere...
envious of the free spirit 
she could have been.

Corruption

Centered in a greedy world,
our egocentric minds unfurled.
rising into downward gears,
relying on our hates and fears.
upward spiral to our ends,
penitent upon them sends.
to the exit of our minds,
insanity, we finally find
overtures of hate and rage,
never see the earthly stage.

comparing, contrasting, connecting, complaining, conniving

Making Overtures

Night.
A scantily clad sky, 
with unkempt clouds. 
Moon was climbing.

Caved in.
I had nothing left 
to say, except 
soundless poems.

No regrets;
in this climactic 
struggle of life. The 
pain eases, when

memory fails.
The flesh engages the 
spirit. End would wait 
till the grass banks.

Premium Member Lyric

Feeling how I feel
Watch how old wounds heal


Prize odd misery
Loss of ecstasy


Lyric words of rhyme
Out-of-sync with time


Missing moments gone
Edgy pulse of dawn


Lost overtures here
Sense devoid of cheer


Grime and dust and dirt
My brokenness hurts


Round and round the bush
Crazy ties odd noose

Say So

...speak sporadically in soft sassy syllables
...open opulent overtures to appease my err
...revoke risque rashness of the adulterer
...modulate too many manic memories.

savor satiable sweetly shared sensations,
admire adored avenues divinely alone.
target toxic tones forever together,
why wholly wade, wondering where we
faithfully failed famous fortuity forever?

Premium Member Death Be Not My Prison Made

We exist in ourselves with multiple connections 
We earthly move as, I, me, mine/ fictional 
pretenses all together as a trio of one. 
We enliven our ancestors in every 
aspect of past life overtures.
In physical death we are surrounded 
by/with every eternal loved one, as they
patiently wait in their spiritual wings, eagerly 
awaiting to celebrate our ethereal homecoming.

The Timeless Bond

As a giant wave rises with passion
aroused by the overtures from the moon
I surf within its folds with high tension,
As a giant wave rises with passion
racing ashore with intense emotion
I must unravel this timeless bond soon
As a giant wave rises with passion
aroused by the overtures from the moon.

Nothing Can Bring Me Down

Inspirational overtures
And unexplainable woes
All I really know for sure
Is I tingle to my toes

I write to see reaction
No matter what some may think
There will be no retraction
Not even if you say I stink

And I see by your reaction
That you may think I’m cracked
I say there’s no retraction
Not even if I get smacked

Some will read and smile
Others will look and frown
I keep writing my own style
Nothing can bring me down

Tilting Galaxies

read you in a dewy meadow of cataclysmic ambrosia

damp feathers of grass tickling the nape of my neck,

 my eyes could sense seclusion's blossomed temptation

  'pon surmised landscapes of poetic otherworldly sublimity, 

insomuch as sonata's perceptive celestial bodies' played on

    imposing horizons and seascapes indistinguishable as

snowflakes midst commanding symphonic overtures, 

   meanwhilst stardust & moons simultaneously tilt galaxies

Premium Member Pardon Not Granted

The slight was unintentional,
it was not in my heart to hurt her,
but she has not forgiven me.
I have personally apologized and
I have sent a written note.
She has met all of my overtures
with stony silence. 
Her defensive wall is unbreachable but
I shall keep trying.
I have learned to guard my tongue.
Words can cause wounds that
may take a lifetime to heal.
Perhaps, just perhaps,
some day she will forgive me.
I pray it happens,
as much for her sake as for mine.
