there are all these
people
just going around
passing through
my life
thinking they are
n o t h i n g
   or maybe fleeting
or forgotten
when they have
no idea
that they
are life itself,
and to me
are each
so unfathomably unique
and beautiful,
that the mere
thought of them
sustains me.

Awe
The power of your wild beauty 
Shocks and magnetises me 
I exis in silent awe
That love I feel is breaking law
Harley Hucof Apr 2020
Spirits and shadows living in obscure extremities
I move freely among them since i was a litlle kid

I am familiar with their world just as they are familiar with mine
Funny mysterious entities looking out for me in the most critical times

And they stare at me, but not with their eyes
Just as i see them without using my sight

And their voice springs out from my belly
Telling me to chase my desires endlessly

I obey and i am awed

For i traded my senses to a merchant disguised as a god

I chase the serpent and i consult death to my left
My time has not yet come , the spirits smile and i know i am blessed.

underappreciated-
most do not see her beauty -
their dreams pull them away.
some eyes burn from the midnight oil -
to them, she may seem like a hallucination.
others run too quickly to start a conversation.
a rare few wait for her -
they appreciate her beauty,
continuing the conversation in awe.
she does not live for the people of this earth,
but she provides for them no matter what.
#escapril2020 day 1! A little late, but it's here.
Debbie Lydon Mar 2020
Last night's sombre sky was hiding the moon in the corner of an ever-longing eye,
Mysteries were fooled by honesty's mask,
This also happened by day, it was not just night's task.

Oh sovereign sky, you are more generous tonight,
Ostentatious and proud, you adorn my mind's walls,
Pouring me a cup of darkness delight, pain bows its head and sorrow stalls.

My eyes are too full, they are open and flooding,
Thank you, oh night and your sky's freckled face,
Your reminder of life has heads bowed and legs running, but I am here and in my place.
John James Mar 2020
If my eyes were a camera, and my eyelids the shutters.
I'd never be able to take your picture.
Tiana Feb 2020
You're a mystery,
You're a surprise,
You are a wonderful blessing in my life
That keeps me wondering;
Words to my 'the one' whom I haven't found yet

here is no wrong way to do the right thing.
old men teach young men,

say it ain't so, joe, can casey take another swing

four strikes, ah
the trick of blowing bubbles in chocolate milk

learned wordlessly,
many worlds
bubble
by us
if
we keep our heads while all about us
implode
explode
implode
oh

this mountain is circumventing me,
no danger
no effort asked for, life is the river I am in and

if I think a bit
different, as if I may chose i mean a thing, as a pro
verbial thing.
In a word.

Abrupt an enter merging zenoic instant hits the wall

and next is waiting,
ever waiting, suffer it to be so, now.
Did you notice the crecent moon  and venus on the ecliptic as seen from spaceship earth? Awesome, as they say.

She walks in beauty
Like the night
Of cloudless clime
And starry sky;
And all that's best
Of dark and light
Meet in her aspects,
And her eyes.


Thus mellowed to
That tender light
Which heaven, to
Gaudy day, denies.


One shade the more,
One ray the less
Had half impaired
Her nameless grace,
Which waves in every
Raven's tress,
Or softly lightens
O'er her face.


Where thoughts serenely
Sweet express,
How pure, how dear,
Their dwelling place.


And on that cheek,
And o'er that brow,
So soft, so calm,
Yet, eloquent;
The smiles that win,
The tints that glow:
But tell of days
In goodness spent.


A mind at peace
With all below,
A heart whose love
Is innocent!
Another piece for diane. You walk beautifully like the heavens abducting me.
