MORNING STILLNESS


reflective black pool
                when off

   the writer’s image
                   like ink

illuminating morning
         recessed stars

         her cell phone
                    asleep

My Fate

MY FATE

Hidden in the valley of my mind
Laying recessed mind
The perfect person 
for me
Beautiful and complete
Ideally set up 
It will be
you will see
Seek the perfect 
mate
Glad I was not too
Late care and loving 
Giving cherished 
Adoration is 
My fate
 
Love at first sight 

She is my Emily

Embellished

Caught in your thicket of embellished verse
Trite but resolute
Efforts to crack the indestructible  

Here you say:
Willowy white Lily-of-the-Valley
Softly flowing waves of ecstasy
Delights a recessed heart
And resurrects the willful soul

I say:
No one knows the heart of one
Cast onward towards the billowy grey
Destined to revive 
My vain attempts at life

Premium Member Coaxed By a Stranger

She hid her talents in the deepest darkest recessed corner
Taking it out never, for fear of being called brilliant.
She did not want to be shunned or ostracized, 
Knowing her people well

Then one day she met a stranger who coaxed her a tiny bit
Encouraged her to allow herself to be
She shook out one sliver of a slip of a talent
And began to glow, and began to grow.

King Makers

king makers huddle recessed in dark
creators of history shrouded in mystery
old and wisened like great oak trees
internally vibrant cunning and silent

no good deed goes unpunished
dark hands with gold bands
mystery men of renoun
never a sound speak in whispers

comes to them a spark
they feed the spark till it comes aflame
more they say till flames a roar
they plot and scheme hidden away from all mainstream


Passion Fruit

Hidden treasure waiting
Vibrant pink
Juices on my lips, nose, check
Nibble, inhale 
Suck, swallow, savor 
Enfold, engulf, enflame
A taste
A scent
A smile of sated satisfaction. 
Forbidden fruit 
So called 
Because the danger of one taste
One touch
Grounds but gives us wings
A sense of times long past
In recessed rooms of teenage dreams of
What could be. 
Could never be
No never
Not for me.

Inner Wisdom

. for public domain

Inner Wisdom

We need not attend outward images only;
a recessed feeling of joy may do,
viewing subtler yellows of sunflower petals.

We need not shackle ourselves to metals.
Cold hard steel, rusty cobalt blue,
chain outward senses from inner glory.

We are made to live more than the physical story.
We need to address inner feelings askew.
Their comings and goings fulfill some of us too.
