Poor Richard

Walk along the ridges, 
Pay for your pretty bridges, 
Subsist in subsistence
Regard me without difference
I am a stow-away forgetfulness


The Mollusk

Upon the earth
Mantle of flesh moves over damp sand
It has born to live, to feel, to experience,
A life by means of subsistence,
It grows its shell to protect,
It grows that shell,
It spends all the life in growing it.

Each God Given Day

A bird’s life … Mean and meager Eking out A hard existence Each and every day… Yet always they strive Are e’er eager Existing out of Pure persistence Each and every day… And wrest the best From their meager Subsistence And take what they’re given …From each God given day…

Premium Member Beneath All the Layers

At the bottom of the mystery
   that is existence
Beneath all the layers worn
   for subsistence

Under happy and sad faces
   desires to visit strange places
Cravings for praise and approval
   binges blocking weight removal

Without building a solid foundation
It's hard to resist temptation
   ~ not easy to stave off ruination

You Don'T Believe In Love?

YOU   DON’T  BELIEVE  IN  LOVE?

No,  no,  I take leave
To refuse to disbelieve !
Shriek out in protest at the infidel :
If no true love exists
Life is bleak subsistence!

Speak out! A soul hungers for communion,
Not a  lone freak peregrination, alone
Down  cold clay-heavy steps
In a black tunnel to drown
In  a dead end in the ground.


This Is All I Have

This is all I have
Shredded heart 
Rhapsodic essence 
Grimace on the face 
Cacophony in the ears 
This is all I have 
Lost talisman 
Waiting for a serendipitous 
Ineffable rumination 
With an ephemeral existence 
This is all I have 
Mellifluous sound 
Turned to screeching noise 
Crystalline entity 
Pirouetted to a crepuscular subsistence 
This is all I have

Premium Member Poetry Is a Struggle For Breath

It is subsistence
Something that we
All need to survive
It is a life blood
Like air or water
It has the strength
Of a thousand warriors
Is as solid
As a block of marble
Opens your consciousness
And lets you see
With strokes of wisdom
Makes for a better
Happier journey
Can move mountains
And stifle weather
It builds a solid person
That will foster
The goals of
A lustrous humanity

Premium Member The Extra Mile

How difficult is it to smile,
to hold a friend’s hand for a while,
choosing to walk the extra mile?

Let’s shed our resistance.

Let’s take life slow and gently flow,
awakening our inner glow,
assisting those we meet to grow.

Love is soul’s subsistence.

Life’s a gift but we roam adrift,
so time’s now to give soul a lift,
by a simple consciousness shift.

From God there’s no distance.

Ekpoma

From the very first time I set foot in this place,
I determined to prosper,
Ekpoma,
like a work bench,
and a technician's manual on instrumentation,
reaches for instruments,
of vitality,
with market gestures,
and a gesticulating culture,
in the land of the living,
under a plastic cloud of mood swings,
hanging partly by a vegetable spine,
of subsistence backyards,
and Friendswillpower Enterprise

laughter rushes   summer cleanses
                            subverts subsistence 
children ramble  seaside scramble
                scribble sand
            
hamlet beckons   hangout persuades
                         hermits wade
worship freedom
                wooing
emissaries 
                dripping
leisure
                wedges in
                







Poem composed July 8, 2021

Christmas Is Coming

At Christmas,
let us donate to people
 baskets of sympathies
lights of hope
ties of love...

Clothes,
which heat the spirit
and dress warmly 
 bodies...

Food
to prevent
from famine and soothe
The spirit...

Sweet words
and delicacies for the occasion,
spiritual bread and
panettone...

Divine fruits combined
with boon of attention...

We must offer in profusion
substance for subsistence,
but mainly,
  the friendly words...
 of Christ...connection
with the Lord...!
