Then Again?

The only weapon I wield,
is a pen.
i bust a poem or two,
now and then.
My heart no longer steeled
and this i say is true
my soul inside revealed
I do this just for you.

then again...

Premium Member man with the golden helmet - Footle


        helm gold
      face old

         steeled eyes
    sealed guise

      firm nose
       born woes

    lips locked
   pain blocked

            old scars
       past wars

        blood shed
        he bled

Premium Member hush the blush

a question is asked
and we are so tasked
to ignite a mind
yet in ego’s bind

we let silence speak
that thus a sneak peek
to soul be revealed
when focus be steeled

the cosmic dancer
becomes the answer
flowing on with ease
and thus questions cease

Premium Member You Cried

Listen to poem:
You cried at losing, as some do;
Not I. Determined to accrue
That credit to my name
I courted and called fame,
I steeled myself and stood,
Rigid -- upright -- and would
Not deign reveal what graced
My form: two faces,
                              both mask-encased.

Premium Member that’s all it takes

soft murmurs of the heart concealed
allowed not the soul to be healed
contracting its heart day by day
yet displaying persona steeled

bleeding hearts see blue skies as grey
sit beside them, for a while stay
offer a healing transmission 
touch of love, warmth of a sun ray

let thoughts slow down and ultimately cease
so that our inner light may be revealed 
whence flowing through life like a gentle breeze,
ego vaporises and heart is healed
and holding focus thus, our resolve steeled
on becoming the flame that has no name
we are liberated in life’s end game

Premium Member Pearl Harbor Day was Today

    Pearl Harbor Day was today
      feels like it’s gone away

    Emotions it once ignited
      no longer invited  

    Determination it long ago steeled
      faded forever, without appeal

    Forgive Old Glory for shedding a tear
      lowered to rest after all these years

Amazing Fellow, This Wind

Amazing fellow, this Wind.
No hands to clutch.
Yet demonstrates a sculptor's 
Deftness of touch.
Behold, as an example
Dune's hilled sample.

As which spirit, wizard-like
This abstruse too
Nothing, nimble-fingered, felt
Works our lives through.
Look again; that built up for
No sand! Steeled more!

Premium Member MY KAREY AND MATT

Dusk shone lavender toned skies upon the mountain field
where scattered trees with wizened limbs were steeled to ground.
High grass tickled their small legs while they giggled and ran.
Intoxicated by freedom from rules and the summon of fireflies, 
they were four cousins with jars on a lark never known before.
All under nine but two would wake the morn to lifelong heartache.

Hold steady focus on Self by day and night,
until save the bliss mist nothing else remains,
that with resolve steeled thus, we garner clear sight,
transforming as the flame, free from ego’s chains.
There are no shortcuts, along the truth search way,
if we seek enlightenment that’s here to stay,
whence the music of the spheres plays by itself,
as we dwell in time stretched peace, as light of Self.

Longships

Casting
off the
shores,
bound for
faraway lands.
Setting 
sail on 
dark seas,
uncertain, 
unknown 
the travails 
that await.
Crew steeled 
for
adventure 
exploration 
fame
glory.
No 
turning back.
Humanity 
departing. 
Longships
rising, slow
gracefully 
plumes of 
power
moving beyond 
earthly bounds
out into the
cosmos.
Climbing the
ultimate 
mountain.
Searching 
exploration 
triumph!

This Autumn

A strange autumn this, with its tight closed fists, its lynched, hollow fruitfulness. Ashen drapes shroud listless maples, a sky reluctant to color its face. We are knuckled inwards. A pestilence has worn out the pith of those who survive. We enter this wintry furnace refined, steeled, and buckled with a somber endurance and we will come through just as autumn does, renewing the earth with its fiber and sorrows.
