WHEN WATERED IN TRUE LOVE
WATER AND TRUE LOVE
Water has its ways,
It’s always disappearing
Always returning:
Evaporating to leave,
And condensing to return:-
You need not worry,
That love, you feel has dissolved,
If true, will return:
Like water, true love condenses
And rehydrates broken hearts:-

I am so tired of things that are fake;
How much more do I have to take?
Filters and trends strike again
reminding me to abstain,
watered down world give me a break.

The Plucked and Watered Flower
THE PLUCKED AND WATERED FLOWER
Wondering lonely as a floating firmament,
Seeing a petal held up by the branch
Like a host of golden daffodils,
In the green pastures of nature
whistling sounds of peace
Besides the still lakes of serenity,
I apply as the gardener in the vineyard
Mulching the gracious garden
As my weary toes grips mother earth.
To pluck the flower

Watered Down Juice
I can still remember when I was nine,
the boy across the street made a sign.
His mother made pitchers of a drink aid,
the cars would stop and we were paid.
We always said a big thank you,
many came back day after day we knew.
A business off the street we now ran,
it would have been

Sister, leave him— do it now
He’s cut your sails and your hair
He’s burned a hole in your bed
In your forest, in your family
Leave him now, do it now
The latch that you put on your door
When we were children
It can’t keep me out anymore
I am a thief, I’m here

The sky called life gleamed in serenity,
in zephyr floated a butterfly free.
Its tinged wings embossed your beauty,
as flowers bloomed in all seasons for me.
The horizon splashed hues of ecstasy,
to blossom dreams I was on course to fly.
Rapture took me to realm of fantasy,
I didn’t see clouds gathered at

Oh, dreams of my youth – a magical stream -
you flowed without end. You flowed night and day.
I dreamed as I slept, but also I’d dream
while walking to school! you’d not go away,
but in all of my dreams, hope was agleam.
In dreams of my youth, my heart how it beat
when you flowed unto me –

What's poetry I request don't ask me
Tools of poetry? Have no idea
Previously poems poured from within
I would write them as it is in dairy
Now still thoughts pour out from somewhere within
but I tweak them to create poetry
Contest specify form and syllabus
Different requirements of each contest
Many times poems and thoughts are not

Serenity; not past ferality
Non-judging eye view, geniality
Love misconstrued for lust, misalignment
Yesteryears, instinct was our sentiment
Presence smiles today in tranquility
Life flow, a flux of continuity
Images of past, consigned to memory
Here and now, free of ego sediment
Serenity
Free spirit, immune from fatality
Over time, sheds delusionality
In time reclaims, our native element
Electrified thus

Foray of explosive sunset —
natural fireworks on display.
A banquet of clouds, rolls in wet,
rolling up their sleeves in melee.
The confusion has its beauty —
thunderous blue, gray and white clash.
Diffusion smacks hued patootie.
Sea of the air throws quite a bash.
Brightly colored dresses behind
this curtain of discontentment.
A leprechaun’s gold, silver-lined —
cloaked rainbow’s tittle presentment.
Drink to me only

Watered Down Love
The loved started out full of feelings
With heart felt excitement and joy
But with time it fizzled away
Endless bickering and arguing
That seems to grow with each passing day
No time to think about what happened
To the love we shared in our life
The love making that was filled with passion
Hot lust, and unstoppable sex changed
Is not like

When I used to look into his eyes, the wings of my heart
Attached to my soul, would flutter, and open up, lifting me up
To the point of having me, at last, accept life, and love it
Even, a feat no one and nothing had been able to make me do so far
Regardless of whatever essence they

Watered-Down Juice-Monotetra
A friendship made can often fade
I had one that quickly decayed
Loyalty was just a charade
I was dismayed I was dismayed
My eyes did not at first conceive
the lies her tongue began to weave
Slanderous words that made me grieve
I was naive I was naïve
She criticized
