Unbeknownst to me
He thought that reality
Was not meant to be....

gumballs clasped in little hand
stuck in jar on kitchen stand
unbeknownst to his young mind
greed is futile he will find...

Produce stand stops for fresh strawberries.
Nowhere to put them but your car.
Summer heat creeping through the glass.
The berries are wilting in the floorboard.
Unbeknownst to you.
Wilting like your love.
Unbeknownst to me....

Robed in the garments of alabaster hem, was she the matron of ethereal divinity; the sovereign culmination of a hallowed hand, caging my only begotten heart, was it unbeknownst to she, my beloved bearer of me. "

A capsized sunken broken stone,
Sat alone on a floor of bone.
Broken in two beneath a breath,
Before the shatter of soul in death.

However, unbeknownst to bones,
A life is but the shatter of stones.
Broken, battered and beaten through,
Until saved when split in two....

My heart's beating rapidly,
And let this be my tragedy,
That I, anxiety stricken to the core
Shall hit that button, (to)forward and ignore

Part of me did know
That you were on the line
Unbeknownst, I've escaped you
Another time

You and I both know,
That I am far from a stranger......

I decided to better myself and finally stopped using,
and so I gave all of my drugs to my still using friend.
Unbeknownst to me, he sold the drugs to children.
Some of them died. Some were never the same again.
I first became aware of my unknown sins
when I was forbidden my entry to heaven....

As we sleep, soma sinks in deep
Since there’s no resistance 
Soul unbeknownst takes a huge leap 
Bridging head-heart distance 

Magnetic heat heightens
Burden on heart lightens
Our auric field brightens 

Bliss throbs seep
As we sleep

I have come to hate the walls that keep me warm. They are filled with faces,
clocks, and trees that have become foreign. Almost a false image to an unbeknownst world. As the steady hand traces the marks of space and time, we are left with wrinkles and wisdom. The stretch for eternal rest brings peace....

I begin each morning eager for the day
Working for the good of mankind 
Come what may
There have been many hurdles along my way
For some reason unbeknownst to me
I do not stray
This soul is strong in spite of it's emotional dismay
My spirit is my strength today
And guides my life in every way........

I was looking
for meaning
in my life

the looking
became 
the meaning

in my voyage
I came upon little things
of interest

these little things
became the meaning 
along the way

I appreciate 
little things
along the way

move on 
and 
I keep on looking

the looking 
becomes 
the meaning...

Tis be charity that is begotten,
By the donator unbeknownst to all,
Be the donated unbeknownst good call,
Tis an act Heaven naught has forgotten.

Justified in admiration, she's loathe to believe.
Unbeknownst to her the reasons others do perceive.
Languished in a life compared, she feels that she is wanting.
Instead of despair from that which she finds daunting,
Eventually she steels herself against all doubt; 
   opening her heart to let her love come pouring out....

there are souls aching to feel
every solid second of every 
solid day

there are footprints on the 
chests of many who help in
their own way to define life

there are magic lamps shiny
and new that are many 
lifetimes old

unseen and unnoticed, said 
lamps, unbeknownst to them,
have many relatives they will
never ever meet...

Unbeknownst to them I am their wild child,
what a precious smile she’s a pussycat;
Lecherous phrases on iron they were filed,
unbeknownst to them I am their wild child;
Calculated and curt is how I’m styled,
silk hat graffitied with the word ‘Hazmat’.
Unbeknownst to them I am their wild child,
what a precious smile she’s a pussycat....

Past the tears of joy 
My heart rejoiced and pumped
An utter beat of ethereal madness
For a new soul awakened love
With kind and somber touch
Unbeknownst and never felt 
Overcome with dizziness 
I swooned neath this power
My female flower pronounced 
And awakened fresh and sweet
For long ignored and now alive
Vitality and youth regained...

If I were to shed mine tears
And the angel of mercy
Unbeknownst to me
Would honor them
With a torrent of rain
And streaks of thunder
Troubling the heavens
But heralding a rebirth
If I do shed mine warm tears
Offer me a reprieve Lord..
And promise of glad tidings
Days of joy and merry..
If I were to shed mine tears
A visit from thee I desire

Stunned to submission 
impend repetition
which crawls out of bed
with a silent decision
and wakes every dream
with a knock on the head
to be dreamt yet again
at the end of the day
Red realization
incredulous notion
that all of these thoughts
are as vast as the ocean
a self contained vessel
afloat on the tide
as an unbeknownst
traveler, along for the ride....

I have run from the invisible man 
To a city of illusions
Meet the fates of strangers
Accepting the life of delusions

If death has no dominion
I am imprisoned in a celless dream
The persuasion of unknown millions
Creating breathless decrease

My coming and going slip unbeknownst
A ghost of formless symmetry
In pursuit of shapes reunion 
The invisible man is me....

Sitting alone in silence, at midnight hour 
I write thoughts in the bright of a candles glow 
Unbeknownst what the future holds, I cower
Cringing, shrinking like the flame that's burning low 
Is there reason to this madness, sadness...our 
Oh lord, Please tell me, for why? I need to know 
Has Satan gifted us this covid weather 
Or, is it you lord, bringing us together...

No goodbye was said 

Vanishing from the eyes of lovers

No trail left a hint of where

No clue hidden to unlock why 

Just gone unbeknownst 

Blue tears escaping to their unknown fate 

Aching hearts swell with love for you

Where might you be 

Let be known you are missed

Did you know 

No goodbye was said



       Smile

~

He was mine.


Unbeknownst to the man, he was mine

He had found me,

And I go by the ironic phrase "finders keepers, losers weepers"

So he was mine

A glistening drop escapes my eye,

Shocked,

I quickly blink..and the moment is gone.


I wasn't quite sure,

Was this lonely tear a result of joy, relief, sadness?


Or was it just my imagination running wild....

Young girls, beware of purple flowers, once white.
Unbeknownst to you, nefarious knight
may draw flower's nectar, dab your sleeping eyes,
and as new day dawns, cajole you with lies.
