each breath we take
nectar partakes
love aches for love

Aggressive, befitting candor,
defies empathetic fervor.
Grave honesty is just,
kindness literally must not.
Omen partakes queer retribution,
savoring tantamount usurpation.
Vulgar words expound,
yields to zero...

Most of our lives are spent
icing the cake

Covering the substance
where meaning partakes

To coat and embellish
what we most try to hide

Distracting, misleading
—shrouded inside

The day does start 
When the sun awakes
No clouds in sight
 But the wind partakes.

The breeze is warm 
And the leaves will dance
The sky above
Leaves you in a trance.

Flowers in bloom
The buzzing is near
New life begins
For summer is here....

there is no path
what is, is a fusion
of energy bandwidths
both invisible and manifest
wherein as both part and whole
presence partakes of elixir offered
feeling the contrast of both pain and joy
nonchalant in the vibrant void of no-thingness

Poetry Soup

It’s a bit like stone soup
Remember? that old
story of famine
where everyone brings
a parcel of whatever they have
and throws it in.

PoetrySoup offers a banquet
for every taste.

Each contributor partakes
each taste is unique
yet all are fed.
No one leaves hungry....

Keeper of the guard
 elite renaissance he partakes 
he understands that in his way
~
Channeling shards
Broken braincells
And around my body onto the ground
~
Spiritual binds on fruitful lies
The bodies demise
Brain dead
The body dies
Has the spirit rise

All bundled up
And locked inside
As fear kicks in 
To join the ride
 
As I'm  alone 
I curse this dream 
It locks me up
Laughs at my screams 
 
I live in fear 
And dread the night
When all i see 
Black in my sight
 
In the abyss
Something that's seen
As fear partakes
It glares at me
 
My life gone mad 
When i realized 
There is no love 
In my lovers eyes...

As love hath come to smite the fool within
So has hate to kill the wise heart with sin
Thou pit'ist the fool that partakes in love
And that of wise men's hearts now dead dark dove
But praise henceforth the wise whom fell in love
Acknowledging the fool in sin thereof
Death smite thee thou becketing demon whole
Dark child, dark face, dark heart, dark soul. . .Dead Dove...

The Lord I now seek for His great wisdom*
Always perfect since He makes no mistakes
Graciously He grants with His good freedom
Unchaining my soul from sins it partakes
Enabling me to advance His kingdom.

*James 1:5  If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

She sat by the window with her silver crown
And gazed outside at what was around
A bird at the feeder, a squirrel in a tree
A car driving by, another, now three
She sat and gazed as the hours passed by
For this queen didn't worry about time
In life's simple pleasures, she now partakes
From watching the birds, to eating some cake
The minutes pass by, she cherishes each
As ninety-five years is no simple feat 
Her days are now filled enjoying the sun
Broken only by the nurses med runs...
