It begins with her eyes, wells of dreams
It begins with her eyes, wells of dreams, doesn't it?
Not by the way they shine in the starlight,
but by the way they overflow, betraying gravity,
each tear falling like forgotten stars.
And you are there, a shadow of a lost man,
with hands that cannot touch without trembling,
a voice that falls apart before it can whisper comfort.
Her shoulders

Wishing Wells and Stars
In the depths of wishing wells so deep
Dreams awaken while waters sleep
Shooting stars trace paths in sky afar
Granting whispers caught by hearts ajar
In moonlit silence wishes softly fall
To depths where echoes gently call
A coin is tossed in the wishing wells embrace
While shooting stars streak across the vast dark space
The wells cool water holds hopes

IDA B WELLS AND TRUTH
Today's Juneteenth blessing comes from Ida B. Wells
and is meant to correct the lies being told about slavery
and all the ones who continue spawn them…
‘The way to right wrongs…she said
is to turn the light of truth upon them

Beneath deep wells of stars and incomprehensible darkness
Beneath deep wells of stars and incomprehensible darkness,
Love has enveloped me like a wind from other worlds,
It arrived unannounced, like an angel lost in reverse flight,
Your breeze, a song that crowns times and ancestors.
Oh, traveler through seasons, who brings with you life's rebirth,
How could you rise in my heart like an unexpected sun?
You've bloomed dream

Out of Time - Contest
I set the date
Hope I am not too late
To save some souls
From chilly fate
The year of our Lord
Dial one nine, one two
From my home-based lab
After locking in-situ
A gyro spins
A crackle, a flash
I land on the deck
With a terrible crash
Oh souls that surround me
Running here and around
Never notice my vehicle
Though designed to astound
The floor is

Wells of Wishes
Of course,
distance is different
for each of us – close
can be miles apart…
as with Time, to some
often measured entirely
by a heart’s fondness~
seeming a joyless
eternity when separated:
had I my way
I would light the darkness
between all stars
fulfilling all those unanswered
gaps, deep wells of wishes yet
to be heard
and dutifully dispatched
realizing,
that for heaven
time and distance may have
far less

De-Touring Tunbridge Wells
Tunbridge Wells a town in Kent
Traffics woe on residends '
Takes away is the only logic
Council offices in payment frolic
Causing motorists to vent '
Vacant shops abd stagnant flow
Traffic bottlenecked no go '
Monson to mt pleaasnt back
Green as cabbage, sense a lack
Sad to note that, such is so.'

Of Walls And Wells
Walls too high, above the grasses I see
Walls above my eye, below the world of me
Fencing my eye, lions of grey roaring
Reaching the sky, birds of prey soaring.
Walls of lamentation are memories of war
Galls of incantation are cairns in jar
Facing the wailing walls are men of tears
Groping for simping halls are women of fears.
Walls of

My Wells' Run Dry
I've got nothing to draw from.
My Wells' run dry.
Precious as it comes.
At times I feel overdone.
My Wells' run dry.
Fallen from the sky again.
Sick of all the sh!t I'm in.
My Wells' run dry.
Learning to speak again.
Can't breath without oxygen.
My Wells' run dry.
It's no big deal they say.
It just won't go away.
My Wells' run dry.
Awaken from an

Joe Demino and Dr Thomas Wells Open Letter
I
Many great poets, two especially Grace -filled
One adores biblical and scientific truth
The other is masterful with American "culture"
I love both their beautiful minds, big hearts
How do I NOT mention Jesus and Scripture
When I would never be here but for His change
Of me from an arrogant Hindu - similar to arrogant Bible-thumping Christians?
Jesus help them help

Meeting My Grandpa Wells Thursby
An old man in a tweed jacket stopped by to die
I had never met him before, and had wondered why
My sister and me were lured by candy in his pocket
He showed us a watch and a tiny lady’s locket
“Who is he?” we asked our mom, who was shocked at the door.
She had thought this man

Dawn Wells Death

Her friends and family must be going through Hell.

For a few years she starred on "Gilligan's Island" as Mary Ann.
She died because of Covid-19 complications.
Her demise is sure to cause devastation.
Her family will find it hard to let

I Dismiss Wishing Wells Instead I Fall In My Knees I Pray Always Pray-
Have you ever put sums monies
in a wishing well
I have a couple of times and
Then I thought well
instead of wavering and dropping guesses wishes
arising the spells
I would rather just fall on my knees
and just pray
Alas no-more-wishing no more throwing panties away I just try to fall on my knees and

Wells of God's Blessings We Thank Him For
We stand by God’s well of blessings daily
As He invites us to delight in them tremendously.
There He assures us of His eternal loving presence wondrously
With His providence and protection indeed covering us truly…
Thus, we thank Him with glad praises* constantly!
We draw living waters from God’s well of salvation**
Whenever we lose our joy because of pride

School Desks
I recall the old school desks,
Ink for fountain pens a pesk,
Ink wells with lots of blots,
Blotting paper smudged the lot,
There was ink on all our hands,
Ink monitors in history's land!
