Black Shrine
This is our black shrine, Where my father lit the lamp. With dried dung in the cauldron, My mother stoked the fire. In the village, the sheepfold remains, Where the ewes gave birth to lambs, Their tails covered in dust, The camels cried out for their calves. Everything stayed far away, When we moved to the city. But my parents lit a flame, So the shrine's...

Battling Mind
A whirlwind of emotions A cyclone of wandering thoughts A tempest of trepidation That leaves me baffled and distraught The devastation of my battling mind Wreaks havoc in the soul's sacred shrine. ...

Ancient building, columns define. Eden’s forever garden hidden. Indelibly juxtapositioned kaleidoscopic lake maintains numerous orchidaceae. Porticos’ quaint, reclused, sequestered. Tetrastylon unseen villa’s with xystus, Yogananda’s Zen....

Two full glasses
A full glass of red wine, each time I choose to dine. It always makes me feel fine, as if I need it to always shine. In my body, it builds a shrine: it's my own sacred lifeline. I got it from a grapevine, A bond I entwine, as now mine: online in line, It's divine. I can never again decline. It isn't for a drinking spree. A glass...

Mother gives birth to a child risking her life, Right from the conception taking every care! Touching fondly, the baby bump of his wife, The same amount of joy the husband does share! Minding least about their each and every strife, The right ambience for their child they prepare! The womb of the mother is a holy shrine, Giving birth to a...

Premium Member Delphic
Quote: “The forest is my loyal friend A Delphic shrine to me.” Emerson Forest, a Delphic shrine, In woods where shadows dance in dappled light, The forest stands in depths of day or night, Where secrets prevail in sky’s solitude. Beneath the canopy of ancient trees, Whose whispered tales caress the breeze's song, The...

"Shrine" There I was, scattered, the pieces of me washing back into the shore I walked, again, out of the ocean, on different feet and legs into the other world, where I began; laid before me a story unread, somehow familiar, an odd sacrament on an alter raised for a bed, to sleep to dream again, I lay down to rest my head, so very very tired perhaps alive not...

From Shrines Luck Shines

Gone he had to its shrine with wine To change life that tasted like brine, Soon begin to with icons dine, And clinch Mr President's line! Everyday to be there at Nine And reproduce an...

Sharp Street Shrine, March 2014
It's cold and it's windy But still that crowd meets To stand with respect At the top of Sharp Street. The Bearers stand at attention As though shrunken by age Since those seventy years When they occupied a world stage. Now they stand, booted and suited, With their Medals on display To pay their respects to Victims of an earlier day. Their banners are lowered As...

Shrine
Eyes wide in wonder I entered the chapel a curious child through the back door of the church candles twinkling in the dim light streaming through the stained glass like colored candy like lollipops statues of saints standing sentry in silence staring soullessly I startled for a moment as I thought I saw one move an illusion of light and shadow from the flames...
