Premium Member Saying Things Simply

The words shift over
When the heart grieves with mistrust
And life seems complex with her
Saying things simply
Can prevent splaying of pain
Increased by those staring eyes

Premium Member toddlers and Music

when the music starts
the toddler begins to groove and stomp
his body says go when he hears the notes
his petootsie is swinging, and his arms are splaying
it is what all toddlers do
when the music starts

Premium Member Small Freckled Girl

She displays a smile of love A smart freckled girl Hair splaying here and away Working up a swirl Piercing eyes composed She enlivens many men Her heart is exposed

Comfort

There’s comfort in conformity,
The dry herd steps forward to give 
Filed sighs, an enormity
Of purpose, peppered like a sieve
With empty space, paraded fast
Through love and loss, to lie and live,
Splaying bones to yawn death at last,
Our time to pass, we won’t forgive.

Listen to poem:
August exquisite symphony of golden haze Unbending light casts a calm and warm gaze Gossamer sets mirth as waves frolic ebbing tide. Uplifting seagulls soar with wings splaying wide. Surreptitious lovers softly dance and spin. Tone passion shore is a vital place where souls grin.

Winter Rhapsody

The leafless, arthritic branches of the sycamore and maple trees stretched their grotesque, naked forms now stripped by the blasts of winter; splaying drearily overhead casting cold, rickety shadows over recently fallen snow. A prevailing wind rushes through the trees and a choir of creaks begin their rasping rhapsody. A momentary lull begins and the wooded composition in a Larghissimo tempo ends on a melancholy note.
Form: Verse

Storm

The eye of a storm provides little to quell the stumbling gait of time

Fore shadowing the nimble minded gate crashers with a desire to leave

But flesh eating pores only spur the unending need to cry

Then flys continually drink away any tears

Causing shallow shivering thoughts to spill ripping tempests through the brain

These cold rivers of blood soak up all divine wishs 

Splaying forever a dent in the core of being alive

Premium Member God Arrives At Break of Day

God arrives at break of day in form of a heavenly spaceship
His light rays splaying across the horizon in a gentle way
I watch from my jungle tree house, marveling at His reach
knowing He is simultaneously on the other side of the world

my children are going to sleep in the north as I am awaking.
I know He is with them as much or maybe more than with me
I marvel at His all-encompassing Godliness, feeling beloved.
hear myself sigh with gratitude as I watch him show His hand.
