The World Poems

Blood Moon captivates sky-gazers around the world

I timed my departure to coincide with the
lunar eclipse, but the
eastern horizon wasn't apparent,
in the park, or at the top of the road
my local high points

I scanned the firmament along, with
other rando hopefuls but there was
no show to see so
onwards and upwards we went
as wine of a deep red hue
wasn't going to
buy or drink itself

No Longer the World

Everything changes; life rearranges
The way that, for years, things would be.
We go with the flow, for what we used to know
Is no longer the world we can see.

It isn’t just age, for when people engage
With each other, the way that they act
Seems more crude and imbued with a mean attitude
That is lacking in manners and

The ABCs of Surviving The End Of The World

Always remember to pack the essentials,
Bat, Bottle, Bag, Boots,
Cut down anyone who tries to get in the way,
Don't look them in the eye, it only makes it harder,
Enemy, everyone is the enemy, yes, even them,
Find what you can, anything, you'll need it later,
Get up, you don't have time to rest, not yet,
How have you survived

Premium MemberIn a corner of the world where dreams break in waves of silence

In a corner of the world where dreams break in waves of silence,
And shadows dance on the edge of a heart too full,
In a sea of thoughts that pour like a river of unrest,
I stand and unravel into thousands of threads of longing and regret.
My soul, a canvas of stars that ignites and fades,
In a

Against The World

Against The World 
Conflict 
Naysayers 
Being pessimistic 
Bring down the giant 
Just walk away 
Your not defeated 
Be the bigger person 
Another dark road up ahead 
Your not the only one 
Hold up a rustic lamp 
Find your way through the chaos  
Strangers are always casting out stones 
No victory in a fight 
Silence

Light in the World

Dear Heavenly Father
May our lights shine brightly
No matter how big or small
We often overlook the significance of seemingly small lights
We are delighted to be chosen as a light in the world
Influencing others for Your glory

Premium MemberThe World Today

The world today is amazing
Simply because the Right is right
While the Left is just out
In Left field
Preaching to the ever dwindling crowd.

Who does the Right support?
Everyone who supports the Rule of Law.
Who does the Left support? Criminals.

And why? Who the hell knows,
But it probably has something 
To do with equality.
Not equality under Rule of Law
But

When the World Held Its Breath

When the world seem to hold its breath
Water starts to collect at the bottom lid of eye
Out of nowhere; lips trembled to speak in dark
Hands danced trying to express the inner words
In sight of no audience a spirit howled in me
Asking whether we deserved it or not
Manifesting no difference in past and present
Seeking a hand

Good days are not lacking, but good lives are hard to find in the world,
A life of good days lived through the senses is not enough, it's just appearance,
The life of sensations is the life of greed, always demanding more, never ceasing,
But the life of the spirit asks for less and less, time is generous

I saw the world through blood

I was looking at the world through my eyes,
curious to see its parallel side.

I had grief because I was seeing it through blood,
but as I heard my praises and insults,
glanced over the beautiful mountains
and growing poverty,

that became my biggest pride —
to witness the world like this.

But when my hand started to grow cold
from the pain

The World That Lost

The old streets, the old cars
The flowing river that won't stop far
The memories seeking through tears
The old paper ,all tattered and cleared

The music that fills time
The glowing star ,What a divine!
The literature, the song
The jolly old self that never returned

The world dark with humor
The very one that withered
The rose in between the pages
The radiant sun

Premium MemberI am the world

when our body-mind dissolves
ego recedes, soul evolves
with soul an offshoot of God
Who is known when heart has thawed

entering thought cessation
dropping body sensation
we as consciousness expand 
obeying our heart’s demand

whilst humming a soundless verse
we swallow the universe
as the breath of God Himself
and then behold light of Self

our true Self stands outside time
and space, mirroring God’s chime

Premium MemberThe World Is Burning

I had a dream of gasoline splashed all across my heart.
I looked up to see your smoldering eyes.
The fires of desire start with just a little spark.
Don’t know why I should be so surprised.

	The world is burning! Everything is turning all around!
	My heart is yearning for something that just cannot be found!

Can I endure the

THE WALLS REMEMBER WHAT THE WORLD FORGETS

The Walls Remember What the World Forgets

The walls remember what the world forgets —
Every whispered prayer, every silent regret.
Every kiss by candle, every scream in war,
Every soul who’s begged, “I can’t take this anymore.”

They’ve soaked in blood, they’ve heard soft moans,
They’ve echoed laughter through broken homes.
They’ve watched first dances, they’ve felt last breaths,
Held secrets carved
