Short Resolves Poems

   The sun resolves to burn ever-bright
     while the moon evolves from dark to light

   and back again every fifteen days
     ~ Attention ought to be paid...

The whirlpool formidable
Danger inimical
But we are oblivious 
Relying on grace fortuitous 
Which resolves
Solves
All difficulties external & internal
At a time optimal for the miracle

Inevitable

There once was a woman that was very fat!
Her diet resolves, I fear,
Broken each and every year.
Until she put something new under her hat –
It was her food; now, what do you think of that?

Prophecy resolves
the force of kin dissolve,
as time forgetting
honor as absolve!

That be the case
exist as it were now,
or live your point of entry, 
and be proud!

The grace concern
consenting from the crowd
of evil dissipation,
. . . . weakness loud!...

I'm all at sea
Defensive, apologetic, weak
Trying to imagine 
How I rose each morning
Reflecting how far I drift still
How the stars do not guide me
Willing myself to write another line
That resolves the woe I feel
Til then, I'm all at sea
Not navigated, agitated, bleak...

sensing strange stirrings of angst buildup
casting an ominous shadow of gloom
we pause the cause of contraction 
that rapture within may zoom

awareness thus self-aware
resolves conflicts in the heart
the core of our being always free
causes bliss ignition within to start...

WHEN WORDS FLOW

Words flow like soft music in the air
A minor key that resolves into major
One cannot see the haunting melody
Nor even the meanings of my words
That emerge, blinking in the daylight
From a dark inner place, forged in fire
Escaping after a deep long-held breath
One suspended chord, then it is done

Nothing is new the robin on the branch or ice on pines
Each rain sparkled petal folding on its eye to sleep
When night with one stroke erases light
Years of clutter unsorted in the mind
Ending or starting around a circle vanish
And nothing changes unless the heart 
Resolves to step in the unknown and love.

A-pril fourth early Tuesday, 
N-ew dawn leaves the twilight; 
N-ight cold chill disappears, sun sets everything aright. 

P-ure heart of a minister's wife 
A-ims to be filled with love; 
G-od's grace gives joy to her life, 
U-sing the blessings from above. 
I-n spite of the hard time, fear of God resolves the strife; 
O-ne woman will always possess pure heart of a minister's wife....

His words falter and flail 
They shatter across the pavement
Fear raises itself and resolves itself
To see itself as only foolish hope
Confusion’s fetters clamp on to him
And pride impales itself to quickly march
With his complex morality into battle
The mind follows the crippling chaos
And reaches for falling shelves of memory
And each loses itself in the spiralling floods of life
While soldiering on into the night...

James Bee Dee dunked himself in vats of cologne,
Hoping this would cover up his lack of bathing.
Every Saturday night he spends by himself, alone.
Primping, preening, for a lovely woman, he’s craving.

Preparing for a date that might never ever be,
He resolves to stick to his determined non-bathing plan
There will be no water touching stubborn James Bee Dee. 
He winks at his reflection, saying “You’re the man!”...

E xplicit mandates entrust change.

O rders decide for the positive.
L atter resolves spawn promises change made.

she hums an endless tune as she lovingly folds his shirt
each crease and fold perfectly placed in synchronous harmony
knowing that ten minutes of work will hide all her effort

Frame furious fire
Seed sensuous sire


Gift growing gain
Peace pickles plain


Lift laughter loose
Nurture nice noose


Clever charm comes
Sweet sensuous sums


Greet grumpy gloom
Rest resolves room


Prize pickled plots
Seize succinct slots


Feelings freeze-framed
Note naughty name


Urge umpteen use
Feel flaming fuse


Choice crumples cheer
Sift swallows seer

Have you ever met
Those people 
That are just a safe space

Their very presence
Soothes you
When you feel out of place

They are unhurried 
When the World 
Seemingly swirls at pace

As pressure defuses
Your ears hear the quiet
Picked up, protected, saved from the riot 

Skin no longer tingles 
The static resolves
Tension decreases, ceases, dissolves 

I am heard, I am seen
In this gentle safe space
Most tender members of the human race...

Brainstorming
Miracle Man
5-14-2022

All minds will never view a problem the same,
before solving a problem most first affix blame.
Having all the answers is our mind’s dominion,
giving no credence to the other persons opinion.

Problem solving requires brainstorming causation,
then search out new thoughts to begin cessation.
Never, should we be the voice, to progress restrict,
sharing ideas with others resolves many a conflict.

NEW   DAY


From night’s heavy load
sometimes  you wake up 
-  a  jaunty bird   
-  leaping, wing-bearing  
-  a  cockerel ready for action 
-  a self-compressed spring  
-  a cocked pistol ready  to explode  - 
you want to live and to work

------but it resolves by breakfast.

Love
resolves
all conflicts,
whereas ego 
only fans the fire
of hate, anger and lust,
being self-serving, narrow 
and unjust, leading to discord,
separation and heart contraction,
so it’s up to us which path we do choose.

Ego helps soul to function on this earth
but other than that it has no use
and if we believe we are this
body-mind, then delusion
sets in and we flounder
about in darkness,
blind to the truth
of our soul;
light of
God....

Midnight draped in raven black haunts me with hurt memories
As tiara of stars gently winks, lustrous amid pastel skies—
Igniting breath’s comfort to bloom come dawn’s fresh epiphany.

The road is long, the distance too great
I struggle alone in this distant path
I let pride guide me-a most vicious evil!
Words were spoken and hearts were broken
Now all to my name is but a bag of shame

I was wrong-God I was wrong
To admit to fault-all for nought!
Now, bright as day
No sooner did I pay
For the crime of passion, holds me at ransome!

I've made my bad, that resolves to be laid
My credit's due
For my lover's sue
She pains me whole and yet I...
I love her more...

“I traversed the path from blind faith to wisdom ~
Recognising within me lies God’s kingdom”
      ~ quote by poet


When I was a child, I was told God exists
but growing up, seeing chaos in the world,
I debated this concept in foggy mists,
deluded no more, when flag of love unfurled,
the elixir that resolves every conflict,
with fragrance oozing from rose petals, hand picked,
consciousness engulfing the sun and the moon,
ushering music of spheres, that makes heart swoon....
