• Unraveling

    I watched the thread,
    slip from my fingers,
    cold as steel.

    I couldn’t hold the end,
    or trace the start.

    Like a shadow in alleys,
    following the hunt,
    its shadow in my chest,
    too swift to name.

    I watched the thread
    through the silence.

    You can only sense
    when nothing stirs.

    I felt tremors pulse
    through skin, t…Read More

    • I was just thinking the other day of all the ways of saying and meanings for unravel. This is a potent expression of it 😊

    Love Sonnet LXXXI

    Love Sonnet LXXXI   I watch the full moon rise outside my window, its beams slowly reflect across your naked skin.   You stir some, sigh, as my fingers caress gently patterns across your breasts. Yaraa, let me love you like the   gently rains of Springtime as it plays upon...

  • April Poetry #5

    April 5 is just another day
    in a year already a fourth
    of its life gone. But this day
    has no song, unless you want
    to count the rhythm and noise
    of imperial bombs sent by
    the “shining light on top of
    the hill”, who has always promised
    the grave and the slave. April 5,
    just another day where they
    say all this hor…Read More

    • I was thinking this morning about that phrase march to the beat of your own drum. But the noise of the world is so loud these days it’s difficult to hear it. Those last lines…damn!

    Neither one of us are religious

    We spoke about religion this morning  Neither of us believe  A lot got said Desire  Love Separation  Between church and state  Redemption perhaps  Then silence

    • Church and state should stay separate…It’s not though. Good piece

    • Happy Easter dearest Poet it was really a pagan fertility rite called Ishtar…Nature is where I go to find God…this is well said ❤️

    • I talk to my dog

      Dog is God
      God is Dog

      🐶

    • Cleverly penned, Speak. As always you deliver my friend. They should always be separate indeed, unfortunately it seems some claim didn’t get the memo. Excellent write. Nicely done. Appreciate you.

    • Hello Gary. I agree with your poem & statement. To the point and you always nail it! Maybe to a cross!!

    • I’ve always said I’d like believe but I’m to pragmatic or stubborn or I don’t like Kool Aid …

    • Dear PS,

      I can always count on a particular dynamic in your poems that lay bare life at its core. And I always appreciate that because it’s raw and always truthful. Long live pragmatism. H🌷

    • Dear H,

      My father was pragmatic and I guess I inherited that trait from him.
      Religion is a something you grow up with or not. I had a religion but I’ve chosen to segregate the good from the allegory. The good part is spiritual and the rest for me is a pragmatic look at the people around me and what we share.

      It’s so good to see you H.
      I don’t come here often but every so often I need a place to put stuff.

      You found me, I’m saved !!!

      💕

    • Totally agree with your stance on religion. But it’s the relationship I see in your poem that makes me dig it. You have a way of saying a lot in a very sideways way. When you can talk religion with someone and then sit in a comfortable silence… that’s gold.
      So great to read your writing.
      ❤️k

    • I’m really glad to see your comment on this entry. Writing it reminded me of our DUP years. When our community would come together and you could write something like this without reprisals…

      Appreciate you Red

      You make me want to write more …

      ❤️
