Cherished Cycle of A Blooming Magnolia

This Magnolia Flower in its climatic point of its life cycle
Budding transition…
Up close in detail…
Petals peeping…
When it is in Full bloom
Focus…on this life…
The Waning Beauty
Still…An ever present and Eternal Beauty

POEM: Familiarity

Feeling around in the dark

We found you

Shapelessness

We placed hands together

Formed you

When it was posed as impossible

We held on

Time allowed and kept up

We profound

A melody fortunate

Trapped in the minds of those that we touch

And we touch

Often

POEM: Why Blood Needs Tears

Veins are no different from tear-ducts

They flow despite themselves keeping us sustained

The return necessary for the process to continue

Even though it may be from dread or fate

Pain in the delay of the cycle

Of growth and grown and gone

We push pull and hesitate

Stifle

But still they come down your face

Blinding

Not without the lack of blood

Transcending Limbo

Transcending Limbo

In an incredible time

Between tragedy and solitude

Finding myself

Often becoming the in-between

difficult but demanding

When along comes Limbo

To tell which course

Or route should be ridden upon

What middle ground is posed

and caution offered

When you proceed to the fork

In the road to an open question mark

Near the expressway of possible answers

You choose the pathway

You pick the poison

Even when choice is avoided

By default

Consciously

You choose anyway

Mischief MAKERS

They introduce themselves by

Humming childhood lullabies

In reverse

Lips, plot twists and savagery

whispers cursed

Crawling within like spiders emerging from chrysalis

Passing their omens along

Busy bodies an open industry

How they thrive it makes them alive with tasks

Masks a specter

Offering libations

Laced kaleidoscopes

Illusions of fun and delight

Their reflection slightly off one

As they ensnare you

If you encounter mischief makers

Life takers

Partaking in

Disrupting lives

With outright lies

Equipped with sharpened knives

Be sure to protect yourself

To recognize

and be smart to sever ties

VERSE: Something

Horizon

The day waking up to something

To anything

And sometimes to events we had not fathomed

In between

We living life honorable to our own abilities

Yet we reached and fought and got there

Eventually the sun reached noon

We had more to endure and with a sigh

We had to give up something through it

Through all and everything

Still meditating as we move on

Memories feel like dreams

Eventually

By the time the dawn reach the edges

The porch darkens

Our minds relieved and slumber sets in

The next day, doing it again.

Verse: CONCEPTS OF LOVE 1

Love

Soft like newly formed petals

Light but eager to give

Conscious within it’s own

Alive and eternal

Quiet sometimes

when it sits and waits

Exuding a light so mighty

A beacon to reunite

Lovers to peak

Even through the darkest of nights

VERSE: Eyes As Windows

Eyes are deeper than we know

deeper than the physical portions

Eyes tell stories

Eyes tell truths

Eyes open up metaphysical portals

Eyes tell lies

Eyes create life molding holding

Not withholding

Close them and keep your power

Expand them to add to power

Open your eyes

VERSE: HeArTbReAk HoTeL HaUnTs

**I have no where else to release these feelings, so I give it to my WordPress at this time.**

Neglected and confused

Alone and rejected

Siting in a car of blues

Contemplating

The bruises of my heart

To start

Entering the hotel room

Every step an ache to my love

The love I gave so freely

Now resented and banned

By him I love

Is that love

Lying on the bed

In my heart’s mind he haunts

He not haunted by me

His love unrequited

I at a crossroads

The ache moves deeper

Making my eyes leak

My heart’s blood

Trickle down and away

Soaking everything

Filling up the room

Drowning in my sorrows

This love lopsided

Floating me away away

His intensions unknown

He only knows hurt

Thinking of how much I love him

My heart and the aches there

Crippling

Floating me away away

Until I am no more
