Moon … Ghosts … Gods

Omnipresent, observing 
The unfolding of life-

Like it's the very first time
Lost in the moment
Candlelight shadows and I
Witness your beauty anew

Together, facing the deathly moment alone

Their soles must be given to free their souls

  Silent witnesses of man's inhumanity to man

witnesses

from train screams
a shadow watching
behind the station wall
no moving

no witnesses that moment
the wheather is very cold

sun and the moon
purged in fire
radiate cool heat
enlivening form

presence witnesses
heart celebrates 
fullness in emptiness 
is the new normal

Cameras

Single eyed the cameras,
Talk on click,
Smile on flash,
Save in memory like people,
Speak the truth,
Trusted witnesses,
In camera like their names!

soma nectar flows
and nodes pulsate
of their own accord
as presence witnesses
this dance enigmatic
regenerating within

we feel complete

witnesses waywardness with compassion 
respecting the life path of every soul
before God’s flame ignites in heart passion

On An Abused Woman

A cool fresh breeze
is wiping off her tears,
not her bruises.

She is making up
her tears with
big warm smiles.
--
Unconcerned
witnesses to her woes-
luxurious furniture.

Premium Member Thought of the day

the stillness centre witnesses all movement 
occurring at the periphery and all points in between
presence sees thus order in seeming chaos
whilst those in the storm, this truth cannot glean

Allies

We were not friends
we were not allies
we were witnesses
of each others lives
trying to make it through
trying to not to cry
trying to understand 
trying to survive.

Angelo

Grounded by emotions is the messenger.

Witnesses kiss teeth and let off sighs.

A child asked her mother "Why did the angel fall from the sky?"

She replied, It's heart was too heavy to fly.

Multitudes

22/365

Multitudes 

So many tears go
                unseen. 
With every word 
                I write,
I strive to embrace 
                multitudes—

those that weep no 
                witnesses.

I Lost You

In the court of love 
where God was presiding judge itself 
I had all the evidences against you 
and witnesses were in my favour as well 
I saw in your eyes 
then understood 
that I have won the case 
But lost you...

Premium Member Silence Is Not Always Golden

Silence is golden, they say,

To that, in many cases, I all heartedly concur
 
But

One should never stay quiet

Whenever he witnesses an injustice to occur!

Desert Story

Stones inadvertently resemble pain
sharp when raw
freshly torn from rock.

Witnesses of time, they fill with voices
the ridges round off,
become children's cheeks.

Afterwards 
they shrink,
stone egg cells
in an eternity of ideas.

battered victim was a dying squawker
witnesses were questioned by the police
all said she was an incessant talker
neighbors are glad for the quiet release
