She Was Never Born, She Simply Returned

She did not fall—
She flowed.
From the breathless stars to the edge of form,
She shimmered between sound and silence,
Becoming light before becoming skin.
She walked the void barefoot,
Carving paths in places the sky forgot,
Speaking in colors the earth hadn’t learned to see.
She was music before voice,
Fire before flame,
Knowing before name.

In lives long buried in salt and smoke,
She

Simply Believe Me

Believe me when I say 
No one wants to be me, not yesterday, not today 
The grass isn’t any greener over here, my dear 
I ask no one to walk in my orthopedic shoes 
They’re always loose and you’ll only get lost if you do 
I've been accused of being falsely unholy and wildly misunderstood
I’m

Simply Senryu: Childhood is over

Men judge other men
Not by their motivations
But by their actions

Who writes history
It's written by survivors
No one else is left

In a person's life
What can be worse than old age
The alternative

A man becomes old
When his past regrets start to
Take the place of dreams

Hypocrisy is
In its way a pillar of
Civilization

Childhood is over
When a door that's left ajar
Lets the

Prayer Is Simply Talking To God From Your Heart

It doesn't matter how I pray.
Don't need any fancy words to say.
God already knows what's in our heart.
All you and I need to do is start.
I tell Him how I really feel.
Or what part of my body that I need healed.
I ask forgiveness for things I've done wrong.
The Sins in my life that do not

Splendiferous So Simply Succumbed

"Every enigmatic environment enlists enlightened emotions" Quote by The Poet

Spectacular silvery spangled, star studded sky, so serene.
Under universal utterances uniquely unabashed, unseen.
Wildest wind wails when weakened, was welcomed warm weather. 
Trees towering, trying to triumphantly touch together.
Serendipitous splendor soothes soulful scenes.
Gracefully groomed, growing greens.
Lustrous light looms, lasting like lingering lanterns.
Youthful yellowing, yet yesterday yearns. 

Simply Lost

You love me,
but somewhere along the way,
I couldn’t keep up, couldn’t stay,
your words stopped meaning what they once did,
and I felt lost in what we hid.

You gave me all, I couldn’t give back,
I thought I was ready, but I lost track.
I tried to make it work, tried to find the key,
but the truth was clear

No uncertain terms -Simply confounding-

Harsh asymmetrical contour following dislocated noncontextual departure.
Roaming, haphazardly choreographed with precise misaligned determination.
Mindfully staggering indistinguishable purpose, consistently in linear circumnavigation.
A matter of process, a state of perpetual traversal, saves from permanence.
The ad infinitum of specificity is quantum, the superposition allowing consistent continuity while indelibly transposing by observance. 
Redundant to its operation, yet necessary in its

I Simply Want To Be

I simply want to be
Where the wind blows free
Where the air is crisp and clean
No skyscrapers to be seen

No vehicles everywhere
Or pollution in the air
Just natures fields of green
With a flowing ravine

No hatred nor anger here
Only peace ,kindness and nothing to fear
A simple ,tranquil place where my being is at rest
Where l am truly content

Simply Manifest Destiny Panama

_____back
Just buy Panama: the next 51st state
Lost in some distant ghostly debate
For $1.00

Greenland may cost US a little more
Hopefully not an arm and a leg or more
Yet, it's still a worthy cause. #52?

simply haunting

a breeze strums these chimes tonight
~ from strange and distant lands
it's brought such curious melodies

Simply Senryu: Love's a fragile bloom

Love me forever
Or just 'til the end of time
Either one will do

There's a difference
'tween love and fascination
But where is the line

Love can ebb and flow
Like the churning of the tide
In the human heart

Love's a fragile bloom
Never water it with tears
It can't grow in salt


           

Live Life Simply

Life is best when
You've done good things
Each day you live.

Better to love
Than not loving
A girl at all.

The joy of life
See you smile
Each day we meet.

Live simple life
Eat healthy food
Work with safety.

Quite Simply Put

Just what have I done with my life
                A man put that question to me
I started to think and I gave him a wink
   But my mind drew a blank, well, let’s see

I’ve not built a bridge made

SIMPLY YEATS

 
SIMPLY YEATS

My verse under Yeats’ carved door
he merrily chuckled at white 
envelope, sketched butterfly 
said he preferred to receive 
verses this way rather 
than reading them across 
post-modern websites 


He invited me to tea
we simply savoured small
cheese squares, crumbly 
scones watching a squirrel 
chomp a cheerful chestnut 
lost and found
What word can describe 
fleeting
