Fire in My Dreamland: The Prologue

one night a fire broke out
in my dreamland
the stars that i glued to the ceiling 
they all fell down
after burning like a comet
and crashing onto me like a weight i must carry

Daisy Summer: The Prologue

daisy summer and innocence
as the sweat glistens on the skin
when i'm cycling down the street
running with the pace of wind

spread my wings like a parachute
on a summer afternoon
music in my ears as i passes by the sea shore
as the flowers dances near the coast

A Prologue To Phase Iii

Dearest Vicar –
As a poet’s lines: 
It is divinity proper!

Onions figure
In our everlasting divinings:
Her white ashes
Of our burn-fire 
And the dew of dawn’s tears
Still coax the rainbow 
To no avail

Her white ashes
Splashing wet-dusts of dark days:
Cocks crow in vain?

Premium Member The Folly of Gods

What grand overture preceeds death

When the past is prologue to life

What omnipotent power's breath

Gives life to our struggle and strife 

Ask who will come to our defense 

As we battle against the odds

What will sustain our common sense 

When we're the folly of our gods

Premium Member Prologue

Make a bold start
With easy feel;
Let steady heart
Fling love that heals.
Let mind reveal
A pattern here;
Feel what you feel
With thought sincere.
Joy dwells with peace
If you but see;
Zest knows with ease
Truth and beauty.
Live love that grows
In time, it shows.

Solitary glimpses;
Mystic moments

Feel firm cite

Stand by at the proper moment. Your shattered heart will be mended We will address every one of your issues. And your concerns. The poise will modify the dread. You were desperate for this. To move to the prologue that follows. Within the bounds of your being.

In the Colour of November: The Prologue

voices buried deep in the ground
and ashes sprinkled into the river,
i'm suffering from a melancholic fever
where my day appears gloomy and night midnight blue

in the shade of moonlight obscured by fog
the ghosts of the dead and almost forgotten,
they all comes back to life,
to haunt and live in the colour of november

Beauty Speaks

Beyond treetops shines evening light. 
Leaves glow and shimmer at sundown. 
A perfect prologue to the night.
Before the moon glows bright and round.
Muted orange, a pinkish sight. 
Sets the stage for nights subtle sound. 
Where silence hears the crickets call
And beauty speaks to one and all.

A play was enacted
with a drum beating prologue,
evaporated into thin air
after some acts.
Enacting and evaporating
time and again.

Seeds were sown
but the fields remained barren.
Seeds are sown
yet the fields stay barren.

Time gone never returned
but it returns steps backward
from the starting point
everytime it matches.

Guilt Gone Prologue

A man I knew once,
A man I knew as friend.

Within his indenture he turned on us,
Fed up, we no longer could contend.

A man who asked so much from us,
Our support, so little we lend.

We weren’t there when he called on us,
We weren’t there to help him mend.

Left with guilt as vile as puss,
For we were negligent and dilatory in his sickened end.

Premium Member A Strained Note Rimas Dissolutas

Freshly brewed fog and a fall rain,
the mist could transform to a beast;
Winds might swirl becoming a frog 
pulsing so loud inside your throat;

You’ll second guess and feel insane 
when elevated fears are greased;
Hit that plot twist with no prologue 
left rolling in those tales remote;

Bring that quill back to analog,
tranquilize this poet’s stained note.

Premium Member Some Where In the Fog

Somewhere in the fog is Chaucer's prologue
to those Canterberry tales.
Ms. Layton I must thank for storing it
in my memory bank which of late seems
to have paled.
No offense to Mr. Chaucer but it's way past
time to toss her before this old brain is derailed.
For some day soon I may stutter with so much
extra brain clutter but Chaucer's prologue
it  seems I have nailed.

Campus Confessions: The Prologue

hold the rope tight, never let go of a safe hand
the journey ahead is far too brutal to make sense
what once seemed fated, shall shatter one's hopes
the idea of love was born from a poet's thought

lover's rose from the ashes to finish their lovelorn stories
heart wrapped in barbed wire yet still beating-
for the one who will break my heart
uncover new truths in each arc

Silent Getaway

Silent getaway

 
Cold rain falls on the cover of life-death
Ice in the soul froze letters on startup

 
We departure silently in a memory route
The muse wounds in a last verse

 
Pages and tears and letters falling like autumn leaf
Sweet torture kisses of separation and rain and pain

 
It was summer in return there had tears and songs
The book is wet in a prologue the muse dies

Lamenting

For unspoken answers, 
there was always the- 
    question, why hawks 
were needing the peace ?

Tied to innate fringes, 
I want an explicit display.
    The prologue was very 
misleading.

War was inside and 
outside. Were you a hobbes-
     ian ? I am not afraid 
of death.

Reacted so violently. 
The colored shirts should be 
    taken off. Let us see 
the scars !

The Troubled Faith

That vertical sink
loaded with cargo
fraught,
with pools of blackened blood
burned me.


I never arrived
at a moot prologue
for the journey of dead.

The sun turned away
in a doubt
under a smoked trance of helplessness.

Perhaps it was true of a murder
in serene weather
when the astrologia was opposite.

The charred landscape
dithered about the lilies.
Will they come back ?

Juice jumpy joy
Thrill tasty toy
Prime profound ploy


Ample apt ask
Touch tricky task
Bright blessings bask


Stray sensuous scent
Prize primal pent
Daze dizzy dent


Aspire arms aid
Pique prologue paid
Style simply said


Dance dazzling dream
Succinct sure streams
Rich rustic reams


Drop dimples deep
Loud laughter leaps
Snoring sinks sleep

Premium Member Take a Look

Open me up and take a read.
My cover is not all of me.
Don’t judge me because of it.
There’s the table of contents,
The prologue and chapters.
Let’s not forget the epilogue.
My chapters are one of a kind.
Within them, you will find joy,
sadness, and so much more.
You may even see a bit of you,
Because we all connected, by
way of the human experience.
So open me and take a read.

My Life

Time blows and turns over
the pages of mylife.
Sometime revealing the prologue
and sometime the epilogue.

Hands write and leave their imprints.
the blotch, the unflinching courage,
 dejection,the forlon hope, ..........
all remain embedded in my soul.

Seasons arrive and vanish
bestowing sometime a spring flower
 and  sometime dry autumnal foliage.

I'm  a  fossil 
caged in my  own world.
I only wait and behold as
time writes  my fate.

Premium Member Taking Pains to Love

Sore Ankle

impatiently edging past my husband
the lid - lifts off - from the pot
microwave still ajar

He Cares

not in mood to hear capitulation
at my ankle’s screaming pittance
I harden, he softens

Introspect

his kindness and care remove my black ring
my mood slowly turning blue
not unlike my ankle

Prologue

microwave does not throw out dirty looks
nor does it knock out the light
that fills room with gladness
