When Tom Understood Jerry

I hated him,
fought with him,
threw words sharp enough to cut.

I called him a psycho,
as if he was
and he—
he just nodded,
as if guilt was his to bear.

He took my beatings,
my storms,
without a single strike back.

And when I broke,
when tears came like floodwater,
he didn’t turn away.
He pulled me close,
patted my hair,
and whispered,

“It’s okay… I will be with

Emotional Buffet 4

The duties are paid, yet restless remain these eyes,
Without my beloved’s sight, in vain remain these eyes.

His radiance softened my roughness away,
Helpless in their watchful pain remain these eyes.

Truth is  no healer holds a cure to impart,
Afflicted with the illness of heart remain these eyes.

I cannot accept that another may see,
Slayers of grief and

Cause You're Mine

In youthful bloom, I once did shine,
A beauty radiant, a heart so divine.
My laughter echoed, my smile so bright,
A joyous spirit, a love so light.

But time and life, they took their toll,
And changes came, my form began to unfold.
The mirror reflects a different face,
A woman worn, with a weary pace.

Your words, they cut, a painful

I'll Keep Going

Creation…brings aggravation,
what I’m plinking…can’t match what I’m thinking.
It’s this way…since our early days,
sad to say; but I’ll keep going.

What I see…lives only in me,
can’t come out…wants to, but not allowed,
hear it plain…what I make to play,
ain’t the same; but I’ll keep going.

The details…I try to no avail,
share what’s clear…make it all appear,
always fails…what I write

At the Edge of the Storm Called: Beyond Understanding

There are those who believe this Age is ending
They mark time by fractures, not by firelight sending.

While I... have watched another map unfold: a hidden one, a tree in hymns
Drawn in the quiet hands of those remembering… you, being one of its limbs.

You were never meant to flee the storm
Sadly, into it… being born.

So, you

Silence Is Beautiful

Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder Poetry Contest //Sponsored by: Crystol Woods
( 1st Place )

Written: August 07, 2025


They say stillness is absence, an empty space between worth noting,
but I have heard its melodies in the pre-dawn chapel where stillness reigned
and still the walls exhaled calm.

I have found stillness and not loneliness---
but in two

The Mentor

"The more in science we advance,
The more do we grow," you say;
Still, Nature's love, abundance
Forgive us all in every way.

She lessons us to endure
Just like the green grasses do;
We, humans, can't all ensure;
We fail to remain pure and true.

Time's supposed to take all away;
She teaches all how to accept;
Rise and fall, the night and the

The Stirring

I come home I am smiling 
Look do they see me ?
Do not say anything 
Knew I was gone? 
Something inside me
Dead for a long time 
I feel its heart beating
Beating along. 
What does it mean?
This stirring inside me 
Look through the tiny cracks 
Of my hearts home . 
Don't they know that  I'm

Religion Inside Of A Singularity

The hymns bend backward, curved by mass,
Where light itself cannot surpass.
No chapel stands, no bell is rung,
Just gravity’s unending tongue.

The scriptures float, unpinned by law,
Their ink consumed in cosmic jaws.
A preacher prays, but time distorts—
His voice is trapped in falling thoughts.

What god survives such dark collapse?
What faith can cross event’s last lapse?
The soul’s equation must

DAILY GRATITUDE UNDERSTANDING MY IMPORTANCE

Today I’m grateful for understanding my importance in the continuum of life…
my place in the spectrum of happiness and peace…
and knowing no matter how old I grow
my importance will never diminish or cease.

Because every generation inherits a world it did not create…
and to that world must add more love, acceptance and laugher
as that generation become

UNDERSTANDING THE STAKES

May each new generation…understand the stakes.
May each generation learn from the generation before…
and not make the same mistakes.

When it comes to each generation
may more love, kindness and acceptance find them…
so they can hand off a better world
to the generation coming up behind them.

Back to the Beginning

What is the meaning of it all?
If I told you, you’d surely bawl.
Cry like a baby, yes you would,
If all of truth you understood.

Truth can be so enlightening,
Also, can be quite frightening.
For from the start, we’ve known it all.
Our greatest challenge is recall.

When recalled the truth is real,
All empty spaces it will fill.
We all were

Open My Heart Now Darling

You ask if I love you, darling, you ask if I could;
It strikes to the core, my darling, my words haven't stood.
Know that I love you, darling, know that I should;
But my words cannot carry, darling, look under the hood.

Open my heart now, darling, see what's inside;
Yes, open my heart, my darling, it flows to

Listen - See Her - Know Her - Love Her

This poem is featured on YouTube (The Convergence point with Dr. Ivan Edwards), bringing its words to life through spoken expression.

Do not just hear—listen. 
Let her voice settle in your bones, not as sound, 
but as meaning, 
as truth that lingers long after words fade. 
When you listen, 
she melts into devotion.

Look at her—truly see
