Passions of his purpose popping plainly

Tornado Alley endures 
the voice of EF-4’s.

because the only time they ever broke my heart,
was when they crossed over to Rainbow Bridge....

Going down the stairs. 
But he was not there. 
I patiently wait, 
I plainly contemplate. 
When will he come and seal my fate?...

exotic in radiance but plainly nude
darkness singing psalms
goodness with rough palms
either a rich old or a simple dude....

              falsified ashes
         uncharacteristic dust

       artificial wind blows rust 
   plainly felt when life goes bust

Now appreciating more of what's in front of me,
More so than what I expect to see.
Now accepting more of what I can plainly see,
More so than how I think it all should be....

The deer stand under the balcony

With looks plainly saying "please feed me".

They invade our gardens

Without 'beg your pardons'

But still expect to get meals for free....

But you like your verse jagged and plainly-built.
I’ll try it loose and anti-styled, formless as pooled tears
In maudlin drops...drink them!...

within our families its like walking on broken glass 
each step hurts the heart trying to save them 
while love still has a chance...

Nice people fain forget,
Negative “no” tells us,
Neighbours all as we stand.
Neat boundaries are set,
Needs are plainly expressed,
Natural and now clear....

Fine chocolate scones with raisins plainly seen.
Extra sweet white icing on my two cinnamon rolls.
Diabetes? Me? Well I guess this is how it goes....

they say they want transparency
so everyone else can plainly see
the botox freeze
of cottage cheese
the naked truth of its lunacy

I just sit
Here alone
Staring out into nothing
Nothing is staring back
Racing thoughts
Terrorizing
Not knowing how to overcome
I was once wanted
It showed so plainly
Perhaps it was only a dream
Foolish to believe...

Sometimes the time is just plainly void
Are you pondering about the things destroyed
OH my dear, you are overjoyed
This is the end of the beginning of something paranoid

Though its answer little meaning;
Bereft of all that I adore."
Further sitting there in English parliament I wondered
What this monstrous Panting "mother"

Saltiest of flats
Plainly addictive
Bag crinkles open
We eat them in two’s
Not a bit healthy

Tiny pieces
Casserole tops
Picnic staple
Bring a bag please

High salt taste
Greasy too
Teen delight

Crinkly
Salty

Chips...

You plainly belong with me
Take a picture of our love
Contemplating life
With one another open
Harmonious hearts beat true

Batted down our grass huts,
Wasted time. They were plainly more sane.

Quatrain #853:
GATE


Glimpse that clear light that plainly shows,
Apt the deep flight of poignant flow;
Taste the sweet sight where love frames art,
Etch a feel right that you now know.

You are what you were; and
What you always will be:
Yourself; unique as that! Awe's for its truth.
Does plainly and simply.

Capping stone of what in
A lifetime's compliments
Rise, pyramidal, for. Day's slavish whispered
"You're doing well" augments....

When I want to visit God,
  I go to the Grand Canyon

Where she talks to me plainly
  and talks to me clear

Staring at eternity
  I look into her depths

As she calls to me familiar
  —and calls to me dear

should I have spelled it all out
wrote it plainly on a wall
should I have been more honest
with what I hold within
should I have given you more
of what I truly feel
should I have just said
I love you
and would it have 
could it have
made a difference...
