The Waking WorldFor Ink Empress's Etheree of your Heart Poetry Contest

Light
grows slow
in hues bloom,
eastward, sky springs
a soft, gentle yawn,
colors bleed, gold and rose,
the world stretches, taking breath
shadows flee, night's dark embrace fades,
hope returns on the morn's first warm rays,
a brand new day, a promise whispered deep~
that promise brightly brings a quiet hush,
peace descends, a tranquil,...

Wintry World
In the gathering gloom
of a winter's afternoon
as the light leaches
from the room
I'm more inclined
as comforts tug
to recline
beside the hearth
here on the rug
with a good book
than step outdoors
as take a look
outside the window
if you care
it's more than slightly
chilly out there
with snowflakes
blowing in the air
better on the floor I think
with a hot drink near the fire
'til my...

My Worlds Eyes Are Crying
My world’s eyes are crying
Wet tears roll down its face.
It cries for what it sees each day
And for the human race.
My world’s voice is calling
Shouts loudly everyday.
It calls our STOP and listen please
To what I have to say.
My world’s heart is breaking
Its love has turned to hate.
So, breaks and shatters everywhere
Just what now is its...

Harlot, are you satisfied?
Hermit starves in fear....

In a world where the symbolic parent has faded like a forgotten dream at dawnIn a world where the symbolic parent has faded like a forgotten dream at dawn,
children wander among the shadows of a destroyed literate society,
we all stand on the ruins of education, family, and protection buried in time,
technology has torn apart the fabric of relationships woven through the ages,
the separation from the land has deeply wounded...

What The World Needs Is JesusWhat The World Needs Is Jesus
What the world needs is Jesus,
In trying times like these,
He's the answer to our problems,
For in Him there's peace.
There's also joy and righteousness,
That is in the Holy Ghost,
It says so in the Bible,
In book, chapter, and verse.
We need to have the Bible,
Read and taught in our hearing,
And after which obey...

OceanOcean speaks to me of the words
I'm afraid to confront
And then consoles me with her wit
Like no soul I see in front.
Calm on the outside
Carries a storm inside
Along with it lies,
A ravishing world of strange lives.
Never did they see the sun
As she held em captive
So no human could gauge her depth
Or dare to destroy...

In the morning's silence, when the sun barely opens its eyelids over the worldIn the morning's silence, when the sun barely opens its eyelids over the world,
I look back at the child I once was, carefree and without shadows of doubt,
When love was just a word hidden in the corners of the heart,
A secret slipping stealthily, whispering stories untouched by time.
I remember learning words, words that danced in...

Nature's Art
"The clouds parted like the pursed lips of desire,"
opening to a dazzling glow of molten fire,
as rays reflect to cover rippling waves below,
and like a fairyland, the colors blend their flow.
Dear Nature is the painter of the finest art
that marks its motion as it spreads and morphs apart
just like a lovely watercolor's subtle smear
captures a...

The Greatest American GenerationThey came with dust on their boots and a morning star,
Shadows of boyhood still clinging to their shoulders—
They were sons of the land, faces bright with the dew,
Carrying small, cherished photographs in their breast pockets.
They rose with the sun’s trumpet call at dawn,
A summons to arms, to fear, to death—
Yet they did not tremble,
They carried...

I am not a woman, I am the worldI am not a woman, I am the world
I am the pride of India
No one can bow me down
I am that huge sky,
Whoever looks at my honour
I am a monster for him,
I am the nymph of the universe
I am the identity of creation.
Even the burning embers cannot burn me,
If you understand then it is very...

In the silence of a frozen morning, when the cold weaves its crystal cloak over the worldIn the silence of a frozen morning, when the cold weaves its crystal cloak over the world,
I will never say "I love you," not because I don't feel it, but because those words,
Thrown like coins at the feet of strangers, cannot bear the weight of what I feel,
They are too small, too worn out, too...

LOVE WOMENLove women for all they do.
Do not kick them around like a used pair of shoes.
Do not discard them when you are done with them, send them on a path of growth and goodness.
Give them love and support and help them grow.
Treat women with love and respect, and give them all your love and...

FLY HIGH!‘tis not this scape judgy?
‘lo, prey on the defenseless
short of a chirp, quite rationalized
facets of your twisted facade
the soul degrading you?
despises, despises theeself
thy insecurities shall protrude
thy good and their wrong spotlighted
i won’t get ready for this world
it will get ready for me
let their hearts pound in their chest
cause I’m fighting for those who can’t fight
it’s...
