If there is dismay,
And a shade of pain,
Sustained,
Any minute, every hour,
How can I take, agony's taste,
Away,
From a delicate flower?

I once knew a fiddler named jo jo
He chose to live life as a hobo
He traveled with freight
Through city and state
sustained by that musical mojo

Final Victory

Beneath the cover of defeat,
  final victory comes late
  
Sustained only by a will
 —refusing to give in

Rehabilitation

You ask me what I was?
Meek solitude sustained in armored mantle
a wave of movement never moving onward
a shade lost in humanity’s shadows
and nothing … before you
me

Change

Blocks are for people 
Who give up 
Lack of knowledge 
Can not meet solutions
Rareness
For every yen there's a ?
Balance 
Domains
Window
Sustained
For true gain

Premium Member Love, the Second Time Around

youth's lust is a fire that can't be sustained
                        time and growth are the fuel
                                            to best rekindle love

Nuptial Time Warp

If we stayed young
and didn’t age
would marriage last
to turn the page

Would love endure
and pledges stay
with time becalmed
— and youth sustained

She Is Sleeping

sustained energy
powering of green
dreams
new generations of
pleasant surprises
amidst persisting gloom
black smoke
in the distant past
she is sleeping
like an innocent
child

Shattered not broken still as a star sustained from heaven no silence can mar Refractive light * reflections of self seen through God's eyes, we are !

So Much Contemplation

So Much Contemplation

There had been so much contemplation,
After on ground was sustained satiation;
Don't be bitter,
And must consider,
Should we initiate another investigation?

Out At Sea

More of a sustained quaking
Than was ever felt on land!
Here and herein;
Sea-stood; boated.

Of what, terror-struck, out through
Each rolling hill of a wave
Is, is'nt seen.
Face, foam-clotted.
Form: Rhyme

A Blank Page

A blank page,
A fresh start,
A canvas for the heart.

Unspoilt,
Unstained,
Simple beauty sustained.

Purity,
Perfection,
No blemish on reflection.

No telling,
What future storms rage,
On a blank page.
Form: Rhyme

Candle

Strike a match 
that distracts 
but dictates
a reflective gaze.
Eyes, witness 
something profound
as the candle melts
pooling, cooling
until the wick
is no longer sustained.
Its flame flickers
then fades.

Premium Member Zephyr

Wandering winds wind through tall thin trees sending constant consumptive croaks with sustained sonority. Quaking querulously a mellow message, a somber song, sweetly sung by a zephyr

Un-Forbidden

Separated at first glance 
Involved by first stance
Betrayed by demands
Sustained at a trance 
Rush of flow 
Touch of a glow 
Synergetic light 
Apologetic flight 
At once ignite 
A tale of sacred hearts....
Form: Couplet

Bereavement

Let not the heat of anger scorch one's soul.
Simmered down by a rain of sorrow,
New life can be had from the ground below.
There, the soul gives birth to a seed of joy,
Sustained by memories of those lost to time.

A Bird Sings With Vomiting Blood

Sijo 1

          it sounds sad and painful when/a little bird tears her heart
        because of the acute pain/sustained wound from piercing thorn
            she twists body in agony/and sings with vomiting blood

Like the Oriole to the thistle, we are drawn together in harmony; a family gathering, gives birth it is in the sharing, that we are sustained.
