The Start of a New Poem
It is a night creamed by melting darkness.
Fireflies are obsessed with secrecy tonight
And dim their lights cautiously, frugally.
Crickets and cicadas crepitate with muted
Feelings, sallying wretched, orphaned tadpoles.
I cringe from traditional horror,
Wincing with the power of concern.
Lest I forget, the moon travelled out of town.
The constellation was keeping wake in the outer
Universe, where stars were hired

Start again?
Well, I guess it's time...
Just remember, I didn't draw the line.
You all dont care cause you're doing just fine,
In the end, you've shown that you lack a spine!
Does it make you happy to make me feel bad?
Does it feed your ego to make me feel sad?
Empathy is something you all never had...
Does my existence, despite

Aspects of the Past
That which once was and can no longer be,
a vision once seen you can no longer see.
When described as a thought, a memory,
or a seed or seedling if it is a tree.
The beginning of something the world now calls me!

The Start and Finish
A mama turkey and her brood
Were pecking by the road,
Not far from where I passed a squashed
And bloody mid-leap toad.
It isn’t often that you see
The circle Nature’s made -
The start and finish points of life
So vividly displayed.
Yet hopefully we humans have
More time for in-between,
Though sometimes, like that toad,
We exit early from the scene.

IT BAFFLES ME
It baffles me...
When you lose your warships
And life puts you in situationships
The mind gets disabled
Leaving you in disorder
Uttering your ability
Turning you into liability
Even when you're without disability
You start depending on others to survive.
It baffles me...
If you choose the matter over mind
Your thoughts and emotions begin to fail you
You'll

How Do I Start?
“How do I start?
How do I start, the story of the end?
It starts after you going away,
Leaving me astray,
Going through it all was a long haul.
But now I have arrived at the shore where I don’t feel anything no more,
I’ve travelled a long way from you
And from new possibilities too,
After you I never intended to

Why should we start to command our souls just as David once did
According to John Barnett, our souls are controlled by our sinful fleshly desires.
Left to their own devices they are double-minded and filled with doubt and dis-
couragement. Therefore, we need to follow David's excellent example, and let
him both teach and instruct us how to speak to and command our own souls.
In order for them they to

Start it over
Old yet young, accomplished yet diminished.
Regret with anger and pain, life hasn’t started and yet it feels as it has ended before it has begun.
Has it ended for the mistakes I made or because I will have to live a life without you. Is life worth living for if you do not exist in mine.
Dull

Start Dancing
Remember to warm up before you start dancing with your cat
It'll be a late night, the concert won't end till around 10 so we'll start dancing sometime around...
It was so strange, but one of my favourite memories, that this song should just compel us to leap up and start dancing
We'll all get very very drunk,

It didn't start with sunlight, but with that slow, unfamiliar feeling
It didn't start with sunlight, but with that slow, unfamiliar feeling
Of being in my own flesh, without the desire to escape into the wind of oblivion,
My body wasn't a fortress of strength, but it was mine,
Like an ancient temple where I can sit without asking the sky for forgiveness.
My hands no longer sought answers in

My Thursday Morning Prayer
The words have been the poem,
and a good poem should fill you
It can offer consolation and comfort in your time of need
Lift your pens, you upcoming poets,
Write to, your heart contents
let your words, be a conversation topic,
be the closing of the graduation speech,
because rhythmic language
