Feelings show up unannounced 
Soul exposed to all...

Flew in with the flu,
Border wouldn’t let her through,
Suddenly she died....

Fallen like
Symphony
Invite play

Unannounced
Frantic rain
Scattered sun

Misty stars
Falling stars
Disquiet....

Underneath the exterior 
Gardenias bloom unannounced
Lamenting that no one lifts the veil
Yearning to be seen...

White Sea
Fallen like
Symphony
Invite play

Unannounced
Frantic rain
Scattered sun

Misty stars
Falling stars
Disquiet.

Midst fear and doubt 
When prayers have ceased
Unannounced 
Without a sound
Returns the clouds
And falls the rain
Again on barren ground

Drip Slip Slurp Trip

She came in cold, harsh,
Splashing and crashing

Unannounced, she relishes our mad dashes for
Umbrellas, and coats, freezing us gently

Drip Slip Slurp Trip...

Highway pedals screech as I tread off to saunter near the woods
Gaze lost in spiraling bark, idle with no purpose, blanketed 
The wind brings a spotted butterfly, unannounced with cheer...

the cock made a call
phoning a clan of mankind 
from the top of his hill
day is here our visitor
has come unannounced
let's dance with her 
all the same from every 
quarter with all manner
of dance-steps yet unknown...

In the silence
I think, 
day dream I suppose..
thoughts drift in
as images...
In this quiet I
am so alone ...
awaiting some inspiration.
One by one a word
appears ..unannounced..
I write it down here in
this verse....

Poetry.
Feelings on paper
Your soul flipped
Inside out
Exposed

Poetry
Naked truth
Honesty on paper
Vulnerability shared
Revealed

Poetry
Unannounced
Pierces another’s heart
Surprises, amazes,
Tantalizes, terrifies
Honors some...

I live in my own world 
Nothing to be concerned
An imagery of my own
Constructed all alone
I seek peace and pleasure
When I dream with leisure

But reality creeps in
And takes the win
Like a lion pouncing at its prey
Unannounced as it lays...

Whatever we put in our mouths

Ends up in our blood system


And what enters our blood system


(Announced or unannounced)


Ends up in our conscious or subconscious


Solar system ...


Now, who are you and where are you in "true reality"?...

Murky dreaded room,
                           The seat that determines fate,
                                Branded Basket sits,
                          Victim’s unannounced terror,
                           Forbidden screams still echo.

Will death show at a moment unannounced?
Will utter knowledge bath I post pernounced?

Expiration - period? Kissmet Death?
Death - a part of life? Life - a part of death?

Life - a preparation? Time - illusion?
For I know yet not such a conclusion....

You taught me more in seven days than sixteen years ever could.
You taught me love comes unannounced, it infiltrates you, and it should.
You taught me age is overlooked when luck and time conspire for you.
You taught me silence may be best, and patience may well have to do....

The autumn transition is in the air
From summer to winter we will soon be there.
The colors begin to change to bold
From yellow to orange to red and gold.
The animals prepare their stock
The leaves begin to fall
The chill in the air comes unannounced
As summer hits a wall....

Listen to poem:

Lost Lyrics
David J Walker

Let it be a secret between us
 A distracted attraction unannounced
Clouds confuse the light unused 
A sight unseen  pronounced

Let the secrets between us wander
In the dust of a setting sun 
A lusty reflection to ponder 
With lyrics never meant 
to be sung

...

unannounced rob you blind
let her come a thief in the night
in one final peaceful breath
lingering dignity in the balance
death not being the worst of fate

Perfection is an illusive pastime,
an unending quest that hides delusion
in uncharted diversions on life's path;
Distractions litter obsession's by-pass,
obstacles spring up unannounced,by chance,
opportunity deflates in despair;
Again,again the siren's call beckons
innocent naivety to regard-
mediocrity nervously breaks down....

I’m never one to loll in bed
Unless I’m feeling sick.
A couch or chair would always be
My lounge or reading pick.

At times I’ll do a sofa sprawl
When glued to the TV
But only when I’m ailing is
The bed the place for me.

Of late, a virus and a cold
Have dropped in unannounced
So here I am in bed, my normal
Lounging spots renounced....

My black son
He did not belong
Unwelcome
Unannounced and subsequently
Uninvited
To attend his predominately white Honors math class online
Confirmations abounded
With increasing befuddlement
By the substitute teacher
“Are You Sure?”
By a white classmate
Affirmed
Welcomed
Invited
Permitted to remain 
After all
He did belong
My black son...
