I was thrown out.
I feel it.
Never touch.
Never find out.
Never laugh.
Never see.
From windows high above.
I think.
I forgot,
how to lose.

A mark of scarlet was the first,
Fitting of inferior character.
He was associated of plagues,
The name given of a tragedy.

The dead made a bottomless pit on him,
Rendered executed, the title of foundling.

Then one day...
in the dark,  in the dark
in the deep,  deep dark 
a bright speck floated,  invisible as dreams,  special as Love. 

The last word was only a 
whisper, 
barely understood, and then
there was no more....

Another wave of whispers.
met the vibe.
Excited.
What was wrong with people?
did they realize,
implications of something bad?
One might have it,
that translates to excitement.

Road.
Endless.
Allow one to be carried by the mob.
Swept away.
Blind fate.
When tired,
they replaced.
But not us.
Chilled,
the bone.
Throats,
parched.
Out of breath 
we,
pressed on.

5. Bear Truth

I know that I am real
Because Sir, what I feel,
“SEEMS MORE THAN ME! DIVINE?”
“AND GIFT,” I must opine!
For what man can erase
The stain of time and space?
Let others jive and jam –
GOD Speaks, and lo, I AM!...

2.Only A Star

A star that seems missing,
Still there every night,
Though no one can see it,
It still gives its light!

When loved ones aren't present,
Have faith they are near,
In heart, also God's love,
Their light still shines clear....

signal of approaching cataclysm?
we can't see the gauntlet
it's past the cunning poison
a villain of his own timeline

piqued by an illiquid New Moon
Level 2 risk for severe stratagems
Earth braces for an apocalyptic slap
this time it could break...

lightning,
 in its  midst
whirlwinds  whirl
writhing
rising
binding
hissing
twitching:
     lightning
blitzing
   this night
tingling
spitting
striving
hiding
from
    windchill
till
winds
    diminish

PATHOS

truth
or paradox 
perhaps irony...
a man, 
a house,
the curtained window...
a letter in his pocket ....
at his brother's grave 
the man reads 
of his son's death...

This example of a texturalist poem (see my blog thereon today) a found poem that re -weaves Cyndi's comment on my earlier blog....

it maybe..
        self-denial
nothing remains
          but regret
longing 
         with desire:
thoughts
day-dreams
          mere memories
          spoken
                 by chance
curious pulses
            in me
of which..
      no escape..
       ...and
             ....yet

I 
am 
but 
a

made 
bright 
by 
the

your 
sun.
