bowl
only my spoon
knows
what's in the soup
you roil my passion...

Threats of blood baths easily roil
Cult members whose sentiments boil
Devotees tribal
Shall get D.T.’s bible
Soiled with drizzles of snake oil...

Black, storm cloud eyes sear, roil
smog-aged burnt skin-
Soul is old...torn

All by the age of six.

grey summer clouds roil
lightening flash thunder boom-
raindrops dance below

Appendages whirr
Unto vascular poach
Accelerando poco a poco
Perpetually duo
Maximum roil
Duo diptera
Electrica!
Tiny furry feet
Skinny long legged
Encircle

Flies also make love
SO WHAT!!!...

Little by little, 
	thread by thread, 
	I am becoming untethered.
	My questions trip over one another,
	my thoughts churn and roil.
	A silence that bewilders 
	settles around me like dust. 
	That’s enough of the world for today....

across the seascape
visions infuse with sunlight -
footprints wane in tide 

summer waves roil sand
eroding lines and dunes –
salt water stings wound 

Summer’s orbit ends
fog chills exhaled breath - 
a lone ship calls...

Like a bottle 

into a 

sea,

I toss thee 

into the

infinite.


The never 

ending roll

of waves that

make up a 

brave 

new brine.


Like a bottle 

into a sea,

I toss thee

into a new 

roil.


I toss thee

into Cyberspace,

I toss thee into 

infinity....

Hay all, I am in love again
why not, because she deserves
in my life no sorrow no pain 
only happiness and only gain
there never feel me roil (fear)
my life is full of laugh and smile
she made me to stand on feet
put me in shadow & stand in heat 
I know one thing for sure
my mother love me than any more...

Screams
in my mind
I'm screaming inside
Yet, none must hear
for fear
of being taken
I've awakened
those haunts
that possessed dreams
It seems
all I need
is just to cry
and silently
I roil inside
from pride
must not
be taken down
I'll drown
from frustration
or over-compensation
of the weaknesses...

Thunder shakes bitter rain from distant clouds,
while, as if in pain, they roil across the heavens.

Lightening licks the jagged mountain rim,
leaving behind a burning kiss, that scars.

All the while, wind cries out,
releasing anger to send debris flying.

And here I stand, watching it all,
patiently waiting to feel that first drop....

Just light a candle and watch it
flicker in silence
Rest an elbow on long proven
neglect
And stroll resignedly along 
the same width of spiteful 
zero sums
A step away enthralls a din
Just roil its sensitivity until
it shreds itself
Align your boundaries,
to strip them bare
And turn that din into a funnel-shaped
and infinite sigh...

Beneath cool green shade
we roil in inner undulations--
a fever of hands, a pox
of sunlight glinting
high canopies of summer trees.

Creeks crackle, clear
water molding speckled
pebbles as laughter
churns cooling shade
slipping past memories,
holding moments briefly --
white seeds of cottonwood
spinning in sun, settling
listlessly on a skin
of stream....

Admired in fear we seek to tame
Our mutual assured destruction
Better not to roil the mane
Flying breath defies direction

He sought to run away
Snared again in torrid protest
Feigned obey your silly play
Shadows of his former tempest

They bleat and beat their chests
Corralled today a winsome gale
With every look he still protests
Purest handsome finest male...

The Mirror
Written: by Miracle Man
July 17, 2020

Each day i see lives bathed in turmoil,
who gaze at mirrors, and for help grope
Who let daily events cause a state of roil,
depending on others, not God, for hope.

A mirror reflects back to us just who we are,
 our outward appearance, but not our heart.
Even though our heart may wear some scar,
God’s forgiveness gives us a brand-new start.

Listening to a gleaming
word whole life
and finding its meaning at
the fag end.
And you are in thrall
to a sinful pleasure.

The yearnings
of a small Pteris,
which drinks arsenic daily
to rescue a withering smile.

A poem sings to me
under a lantern, when a
storm was raging to roil
the blue birds of imploring peaks.

It looks into your eyes
to find the answer
of complete shutdown
of cotton feel.

B follows A
And C proceeds D
It's a formula older than time

The lowest sink of
   debauchery to the ilks 
Of a sort seem sublime

A pail full of
Crabs
Will stay to the brim

Each holding the
Other
In place

That none should struggle
Perchance to escape
the fate some have 
Chosen to face


As the pails contents
Scramble and roil
And the water before them
Comes to a boil


They gleefully chortle 
To this hope that is mine
Don't be afraid the water is fine...

Light shimmered on the lake at moonrise
a breathtaking view that glimmers
Lively serpentine swimmers
flow below astral skies
Ripples, side by side
roil to provide
reflections
on the 
tide.
*
Ride
a wave
as enslaved
'Neath Luna's pale
luminance, they sail
upon waters of Earth
Calm, the night above the firth
except for lonesome, cooing doves
thirsting, like me, yearning to be loved
