Building tomorrows’ smiles
25 May 2017
Breathing Life
Into lungs that singe
With dust rife
Blowing winds
Across the tides that ripple
With the waves of change
Weep the tears
Of togetherness
We confess
In duress
To moments of lone weakness
When target seems stalled
Mirror walled
The strength I muster
Breaking free
Shards recalled
Building tomorrows’ smiles
In the bees cluster
Reading of the poem:
Unity – Shinedown
Overcoming waves
25 March 2017
Photons skid
Shimmering wildly
Flowing through
Paths of new
Bridging synapses like glue
Renewing mind Blue
Painted hue
See behind the veils
Concealed face
Calls with grace
Weaving broken wings with lace
Masterpiece solace
Hurts erased
Pick the shards de-phased
Thoughts misplaced
Lilies graced
All align as lightning raced
Overcoming waves
Reading of the poem:
The Light Between Oceans – Rubén Melià
A place of Beauty
29 November 2016
Pick up the pieces
Myriads of shards are talking
Their language broken
Bear with me token
Female Prometheus runs
Flame a blazing pyre
Gyrating the wasps
Zero in on the flesh cut
In between bloodlines
We grew swift the vines
Dragons eggs incubated
Within wombs of dark
Lift me from shadows
The half-light crushes all will
Petrified gallows
Instill in me dream
Shower within writhing mind
A place of Beauty
Reading of the poem:
For the Dreamers – Evi Vine
A way to be
17 December 2015
Look upon your inner light
Letting go more than the fight
Healing angels wing their way
So give in to love and play
And if you trust yourself enough
You’ll find life’s not so tough
On the road to agony
In memories’ key
You’ll found the way to ecstasy
A way to be
The road may seem so tiresome
I know you feel so lonesome
You think this road just glass and shards
You feel the pieces your soul discards
But if you trust yourself enough
You’ll find life’s not so tough
On the road to agony
In memories’ key
You’ll found the way to ecstasy
A way to be
When you think that light has gone
Know you’re not out there alone
Feel the angels walk beside
All throughout the rocky ride
And if you trust yourself enough
You’ll find life’s not so tough
On the road to agony
In memories’ key
You’ll found the way to ecstasy
A way to be
I believe in you and me
We are more than what we see
I believe in our strong heart
May its courage never depart
And if we trust ourselves enough
We’ll find life’s not so tough
On the road to agony
In memories’ key
We’ll find the way to ecstasy
A way to be
And if we trust ourselves enough
We’ll find life’s not so tough
On the road to agony
In memories’ key
We found the way to ecstasy
A way to be
I have not included a YouTube song yet because I am making this poem a song which I will include once I have sung it and in fact it started out like a song in my head before I wrote it as a free verse poem. Bear with me because I am not a singer but would really like to get this melody and the lyrics out there because it made me feel good so I thought it might help others feel good too
This was recorded as a memo on my phone because my usual camcorder was not working. Be kind and constructive with your criticism 😀
Waters filled my Heart
26 November 2015
Thoughts rushing like shards
Withered stories of the past
A suit of tremors
Random cuttings loose
Around my body’s fillings
Stuffed liver in goose
The sea broke in me
With blue waves that surged hungry
Silenced sound of shells
He said come on smile
It is all just dark shadows
Discard them a while
I yearned to be free
Make sorrows a future thought
Memories’ splinter
So I wrecked my cheeks
Breaking them into rictus
Taught line of pretence
I painted my face
Frozen mask of happiness
Waters filled my Heart
Marco Masini – Ci vorrebbe il mare
The Lisping set flames
7 November 2015
Weary is the soul
That tireless travels between
Fires and Waters
Icicles will form
On the tips of my eyelids
For brethren washed out
The fire cleanses
Shards that shifted in morrows
Between Blue and Red
The clock stuck in twelve
Struck more than the midnight count
When spirits would roam
I floated in air
Circles bound me to nowhere
As the river flowed
Rotating in trap
The core shifted towards more
The Lisping set flames
Seven spelled the days
Four and four faced the seven
Infinity flew

Chronos my brother
2 November 2015
The road now coming
I walked in simplicity
Pathways opened up
From within darkness
I picked up scents of the light
Both woven within
I held on divine
There was a thread in the winds
Blind child heard the call
In between hours
Walking on the broken glass
I heeded not cuts
Mermaids walk on shards
Life is spent thus balancing
Teachings of the soul
Chronos my brother
Lent me his precious bounty
He like I just gave
What within forgive
What without never forget
All Love eternal

Building mirror’s other reality
30 October 2015
Sometimes, silent, I think of you in fall
It takes all of the dew of autumn leaves
To wet my lip crackling as it now weaves
Rustling edges, Indian summers that call
From creek I look at you now birth from caul
Wistful membranes resist as Earth now heaves
The pull, the push shudder as she bereaves
More so the words that I utter to maul
Sometimes as winter would dispel meadows
It takes the frost on splintered leaves that lie
To shatter all the shards of memory
When I would gaze upon lesser shadows
Filling reducing space from eye to eye
Building mirror’s other reality
Twin Futures
22 October 2015
.
The shards of a crumbling world called out
Reminding the mind of other futures that simmered
.
Silent, I reverberate, regenerating in Heartpath
22 October 2015
Exploding mirrors mirror the painful path followed by Mind
Thousand shards helter skelter coursing through eyes bloodied tears fell
Peaceful wiping away tears reinventing it I show Love
You will ask damnation’s curse through anger’s heat clueless of Love
Godliness you deny it yet see demons what irony
Silent, I reverberate, regenerating in Heartpath
This heartpath beats within me seeks for your change within solace
I extend open channel heartbeats shelter within embrace
Madness encompassing you how illusory, escapist
