Lightening illuminating the sky
It’s beautiful yet gives a fright
Going to shut off my pc
Hoping it won’t shock me
Thundering a sound that booms
Effecting me jumping across room
Neon night with rain in tow
I wonder about the birds are they cold
Not one bird complains for
God takes care of them I’m sure
"LOVE, just four letters for a very powerful word." By Poet
Why does life start out from a loving mother,
only to be given to another?
This loving mother cannot care for her,
as a tiny baby makes a stir.
A loving mother will sign papers that will cut like a knife,
making a decision effecting her and a new life.
This is all out of her control,
a mother with fear in her body and soul.
As her body now shakes,
she must sign the papers even if her heart breaks.
Her loving tiny girl lays in a pretty pink blanket all wrapped,
a mother can not abandon her or have her kidnapped.
Will the true story ever be known,
about a mother filled with love but on her own.
A baby that came from heaven above,
and about a price one put on selfless love.
Should I give up?
Trying her best, but it isn't enough.
Giving it her all, but it isn't enough.
"Is that all?"
"Can't you try harder?"
"Do more!"
All these meaningless opinions
effecting me, barging in.
When will it go away?
Sleepless nights, silently crying.
When will someone listen and not judge me?
Can't they let me be ?
Can't stop my thoughts from being clouded by such things.
Should I give up?
Emotions are stroking,
Combing through my being.
Seeing them growing,
Now taking control of me.
My tongue acts appropriately,
A person I don't want to be.
Acting uncontrollably,
And then feeling sorry.
Emotions just grab ahold of me,
Running my reality,
Ruining what I thought to be.
Battling duality,
Challenging all of me,
Revealing what I could't see.
As energy affects everybody,
Emotions signal the party,
Attracting those just like me.
Trapped in a cycle of fighting me,
Repeating in my reality,
Creating problems unconsciously.
As the patterns dig deeply,
Deeper until you see,
Their reflection in reality.
Our reaction creates the wake,
Effecting the direction you take.
Repeatedly stuck in this wheel,
Storing emotions until we heal.
A Simultaneous Existence,
Exists Within us.
Making a difference,
Different than you Think.
Connecting Emotions and Energy,
Silently driving Society.
Quietly Implying words you Say,
We blindly pave the way.
Navigating Physicality,
Through this Maze of Reality.
Trapped By Desires,
Wrapping us In Fire.
Smoke Obstructing,
Suffocating our way to be.
Feelings of Negativity,
Run Rampantly.
Simultaneously up and down,
Through Humanity.
Effecting Everyone you see,
Tainting their energy.
Changing So Slightly,
You start Sinking.
Thinking,
Digging up the dark.
Caverns of Patterns,
Connecting our lives.
Unaware how it Drives,
Crashing Energy into Matter.
Feelings Splatter Space,
Surrounding the place.,
Invisibly Existing,
Simultaneously,
Sharing,
The Ups and Downs.
In silence I listen,
To hear a song,
One I carry within,
Playing all day long.
Felt by all you let in,
It's loud and singing,
Symphonies of emotion,
Silently playing along.
Effecting everything around,
With it's powerful sound,
Now Making hearts pound,
With the signal i've found.
Her words and actions are conflicting
inconsistencies and quirky thoughts
going through the motions
and playing your part
aa man can get tired of the samethang
wondering what spell you're in
wondering if things might change
creating distance guess you're not
commitment minded but you wish to
think you are
you express interest in me
only to have your way
undermining my sincerity
or maybe it's me
it could be
identifying myself as
yours
maybe it's me
that's a possibility
people like to make you
believe everything
about you is wrong
you should never convince someone to
make time for you
From S[lit D Ring
She acts weird so that if you talk about
the person she allows you to know
is completly different
then the pperson she is.....
I losted the reed to my oboe
and was upset. She used the condition
of my emotional state
to create a situation.
Is it past tramua effecting us
or mix signaling.

Wind circulates, lifting and flattening
an otherwise, benign, breathless world,
relying also on deeper, slowly moving
tectonics, belching foully, scattering
seas...effecting change. Seasons like Sun
rejoice and fold. An occasional comet or
meteor perhaps a compassionate
God-sent, heaven rethinking the dawdling
pace of destiny…. Man a defiant offspring,
rejecting patterns seemingly not of his own
making – good angels know better, dutifully
soothingly serving.
life at times feels so hard
so much going against you
everything around you so dirty
looking for a filter to be true
Everywhere you look is clogged up
like all is blocked just like sin
effecting every strand of life
everywhere you look is in a spin
There must be more to life
this echo is heard all over the place
but only in eternal truth, this is found
in the holy scriptures, you receive grace
So get on these swim trunks
whether it's your breaststroke
or even to crawl be like a fish
give it your all, just go for broke
Your reward will be worth it
live for God always forever
leave behind that awful pollution
drink in the living water, now that's clever
(Quote:
"I feel like a fish out of polluted water" - Anon.)
you …
came to me today
(from anon)
wholly untold to your concerns
but real enough …
I was plodding the beach, tending wounds
when you tossed your smile at
me from a shrouded sun
off whitecaps, bursting into dazzle -
echoes, alit
each a memory, recaptured
brief as a blink …
but I was transfixed, as always
immersed in your burnt ochre irises
gold flecks like shiny confetti, fluttering
they hadn’t held me since …
forever, really
and as then, the brilliance within
was unsettling -
a piercingly perceptive acumen that
probed, unchallenged
though your countenance always
smoothed the edges -
a bubbly exuberance and gravity
an eager affability -
thawed everything around you
and … everyONE
effecting the grandest of illusions
that whatever you aimed your attentions at
was your dearest concern
and your one TRULY careful involvement …
when in all actuality
we -
the matter and matters about you -
were just a multitude of
merry moths …
to your flame.

The political gain
A four year reign
Legislation denied
The citizen cried
A steady race
Challenges to face
A heated debate
An opponent took the bait
Issues to change
Effecting an age range
Campaign funding
Candidates confronting
Victory impending
For one, campaign is ending
dark places find me
as a result of myself
dark places bind me
i give them all the wealth
dark places grind me
the unpredictability stirs my stealth
dark places remind me
modern stressful times are really effecting my health
Magical power of written word, is
an expressive form of therapy
Verses sublime scaling the highest
of heights in such clarity
Significant thoughts of the scriptures
to enlightenment
Our consciousness of life through
written word entitlement
Fragments of quotes wanting will
seek to reach one emotionally
Expressively lulling like the sounds
of falling rain notably
It’s inwardly murmured rather
than of spoken dialogue
Rhythmic arrangement of syllables
sounding monologue
Evoking our sensory agents effecting
how our essence can generate
Or even an excitement over the
very moon’s crescent
Communicating the writers experiences
with results are apparent
Inevitably our words can be perfect
but at times still inherent
Beauty or evocation to ones
feeling in metrical form
Unspoken words giving witness
in an interpretation transform
At times overshadows all our
unparalleled contributions
Source helping in ones completeness
or finding solutions
