Winter whips through bones
Dispelling comfort and warmth
Yet for all its chill
My heart retains joy profuse
For our love survives untouched

Flamingo
Twiggy-legged pink flamingo walks in stride
Spreads wings and flies above ground
Eats shrimp, retains its hue

CONTRARY WAYS
Pun and paradox frame
The extra serving of wit
Ego retains fake name
In surge of lies that fit

Epigram
See those distant stars?
That is what we are,
A hologram in which each part
Retains an image of the start,
Alongside which exists the end,
The road to God and art.

Free verse
The shape of my spirit,
the weight of my soul
To measure the longing
of wishes unsold
Tomorrow the color
of yesterday’s stain
The taste of each memory
—this moment retains

A Clock
Tom Wright
2000
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock.
Man's invention
for measuring that most precious commodity,
called time.
A commodity which God retains control,
while allowing man to determine its use.

clarity in lucidity
in the waking state
tricking into a dream
that our limited free will
retains seeming freedom ~
requires softening attention
in time dissolved stillness
awareness self-aware
fulcrum void-centric
presence formless

When mind and body feel the strain of years,
some hide away, the victims of their fears.
When time grows short and sunset is in view,
for many, life retains a rosy hue.
A necessary trait for joy-filled life
is optimism, victor over strife.

My own proverb......
"Gems of purest rays serene when pulled out from the muds retains it purity
But a wise man speaks to a crowd of fools he too becomes a fool"

Becoming
"Of Awareness aware.."
An often said goal
Of meditative paths..
But seemingly an
Assumptive separation
Bedrocks a story:
A separate individual
Achieving said goal..
However~
As a story it retains
Beautiful significance...

Light Verse
A wide range of a majestic soul wonders
Beneath the tired eyes of a loss soul
The soul throws away the ounce of
Fight, as the body retains the stress
The stress eats away the dignity of those
Who fight, but dignity can't be defined.
I'm tired, my soul tired too.

The young man was tough
and got his job done.
A heavyweight Champ
at just twenty some.
Most of those men
who gave it a run.
Were flat on the canvas
from a right uppercut.
Iron Mike was a Bad Man
and tough as they come.
A World Champion,
He, Retains the only one.

Rhyme
A fraction of my sense of humor
retains and loves full blown sarcasm mode.
I have to watch it at work.
I deal with children.
They are experts at it.
At home my husband catches my barbs in his glove
Winging them past outfield to hit the fence
So we can remain in love.

Autumn faerie touched her wand to a yellow mum.
The mum’s colors turned crispy and an October brown.
Whether she retains her yellow next year is up to fate.
Some mums do, others do not, I never know which I have.
Autum faerie is aware, fully in the know, she rules October.

Blank verse
unless the cogniser of layered stillness
as subtle intertwined layers drop away ...
unless the cogniser as pristine awareness
vaporises identity thus ceasing to sway ...
the centreless silence retains stuporousness
limited by duality shifting from night to day

Tranquil equipoise, gentle flow
Outcomes impact us not
Our joyous heart, always aglow
Inner silence, self-taught
Within this dream sequence
Heart retains innocence
Fullness of bliss vibrance
No ego borne noise
Tranquil equipoise

Yes, on the edge of death
I've felt the window of eternity
It wasn't a human personality
But silence and ecstasy
Too profound for words
Was this a hallucination?
Or this body kicking adrenaline
From the impact
Of the accident
Either way
Life still retains mystery
Plenty of worlds to uncover
For a heart so bold

Last days of summer
Autumn's presence felt
The sea retains some heat
Hardy souls take the plunge
While gulls skim and surf
Riding on waves that swell
A curious seal watches
Alien species enjoying
Freedom from the land.

Imagism
Today is as quiet
As a crowded graveyard
Empty of life:-
Yet, the green of nature,
Shines in springing glory:-
As a brief breeze
Warmly passes by,
Silence retains its control
And all remains calm:-
Yes, life’s reality
Has its blissful moments;
Leaving wearying chaos asunder
As God caresses
Silent wandering souls:-

G-lowing gleam in the sky
H-as reached the zenith;
E-ighth November sunny day
M-akes your smile so sweet.
H-ighest degree of light
E-rases the gray shadow;
R-ays emitted from above
N-ever retains the sorrow.
A-llow the blue lanes to open,
N-ever let clouds gather underneath;
D-arkness yields to beacon,
E-ver bright shining
Z-enith.

Life Is A Race
By: Miracle Man
November 20, 2020
Though we view life’s race through rose colored lens,
each bridge we’ve torched retains the semblance of ash.
We review our past without hope of amends,
for some, life's a marathon, for others just a dash.
“Life is for one generation; a good name is forever”
Japanese Proverb

Lyric
At Playa Rincon, in Dominican Republic’s sparkling cerulean waters
Among polished white pebbles, blue calcite and moonstone magic
sits larimar, the mermaid stone, the queen of the ocean stones.
Tailsman of adventurers and explorers, larimar empowers you
Enabling you to speak to your waiting, listening heart.
This is how she became and retains the title of queen

R-apture retains its ecstasy
O-n this twelfth September;
N-ever will it let gladness go,
A-nd neither will it slumber.
L-aughter is kept by rapture,
D-enying the night sadness;
O-bscure clouds disappear, yielding to the brightness.
J-ubilation is just withheld,
O-bvious joy brings pleasure;
S-atisfaction is really reserved,
E-cstasy is retained by rapture.
