Heart And Sole Complaint
Tho' they may display legs to best advantage,
observing the constraints, begs the question, 'What's afoot?'
Seems to me I had a bee in my bonnet
about women's proclivities and passion
when compelled to write this pseudo-sonnet
about their footwear fashion.
Some are bonkers barmy as bedbugs, daft, dippy, daffy,
(with) bats in the belfry too,
it's far beyond my reckoning, as I

God’s sole wish
We are still and yet life flows on,
borne by thought, causation desire,
to feel the warmth of love at dawn,
purged in heart, in God’s sacred fire.
Yet if all is one and we’re that,
all forms being but illusion,
where then is the need for combat,
save by egos in delusion?
Enriched by love, light of Self shines,
mirroring God’s luminescence,
rapture rises,

The Sole Sky Surfer
"Let the moon teach you the art of being beautiful and lonely at the same
time.” ~Anand Thakur
O, the night traveler
you are the beacon for
the distressed who are
dwelling in darkness.
As the knight of the night,
you ride upon your white steed
wearing a silver armor
for those hopeless lovelorn.
You are the afterglow of the sun
when it retires for

World is the sole creative art
Sow seeds before green garden ye savour,
Eat fruits of toil and sweat only thy own,
Quote no quotes often chewed, void of flavour,
No garden goes green, not by hard toil grown.
Be it an insight, brainwave as never,
One’s own muse is most inspiring maid known.
For long man, who’s forbidden fruits desired,
Goes

A Sole Provider
His eyes that run dim with tears like autumn’s fade
Reflect the pain of love's defeated grade.
He invested all, his heart and soul,
In her, his love, his life's control.
He made himself her sole provider,
Trusting she'd stay, his love forever to deliver.
But now, she's gone, and he's left to grieve,
No legal bond, no proof to retrieve.
Bottles pile

Sole Soul
The lonely bird,
Atop the lowly birch,
Amidst empty branch,
It's only perch.
The white sun's,
Blinding light,
Drowns solely,
The bird's plight.
In summer's dry,
Afternoon sings,
The winged life,
Yet it brings
Not a soul,
Only the fiery hole,
Atop it's lofty perch,
Bears witness
To the bird's cry,
From sanguine sky,
Listen and sigh,
What beneath lies.

o sole mio
I am the bird
That was made by my father
With his hands
Now during the morning
I am flying in the sky
Above the mountain
And the ocean
Lots of people are taking photos of me
So they can have as a souvenir

O Sole mio
O sole Mio
breaking darkness like glass
a splintered past like bottle shards in shore sands
you collage art
deep stiched pain you've woven
to technicolor cloaks
When im outcast you reel me in
now the world on my shoulder feels like seraphim wings
now the tormenting torrents a sigh of relief
My sunshine
You've untangled.
my loops of distress into straight lines

A Shoe With Sole
Step out
Walk on
Imagine distance
Courage in an instance
Circumstance through situation
Determination with participation
Sole together
Strong and sturdy in all leather
Shoes tell your story
Accomplishment with all its glory
The miles you left behind
Life that was kind
The times you tried to run
Those times weren’t all fun
That makes your soles different
The creation of significance
Identity of how you and soles weathered many storms
A

The Battle of the Minds For the Sole Possession of All Souls
THE BATTLE OF THE MINDS FOR THE

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
MENTAL WELLNESS AND

UNDERSTANDING AND
KNOWING THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN RIGHT AND WRONG.
WHY WOULDN'T YOU WANT A
MENTALLY ILL LEADER TO LEAD YOU ?

Sole Egret Ii
Then one day
in balmy Florida morning
on the way to school
We saw it
the sole egret in the marshes
feeding on an early worm
Yeah ... we screamed
my daughter Zahra and I
Yehoo! Yehoo! Yehoo!
Sometimes the things
that you fear the most
never actually happen

The Sole Egret
The sole Egret
White against the dark marshes
On the way to school
Wet in the drizzle
Yet present each morning
It had missed the migration
So each day as we passed
My daughter Zahra would exclaim
Dad, here she is!
We had lost count until the day
It left perhaps for good
Perhaps for ill, who would know?
That morning we saw an Eagle
It

The Sole of Your Feet
So small and loving
As two little sparrows
Vulnerable and powerful
The only footprint left on your path
Everywhere you went
On this earth
You are
There
You have left
The sole of your feet
