And Yet

And Yet

The birds floated freely, as if they stood a chance.
And yet the dove hovered quietly, nimble in its dance.

Cloud like objects flew high across the blue tainted sky.
And rain droplets leaked away, and the sky began to cry.

The purity of the dove remained, steadfast against contention.
And it flew ever higher, divine in its Ascension.

But as it reached the top of the blackened charred roof.
It fluttered away immediately, as this was living proof.

It's hopes were set to the heavens, and it denied all defeat.
But the black sky conquered and the dove knew it was beat.

So it fluttered down quickly, and toppled to the ground.
It's soft feathers shattered, yet there was not a sound.

The purest of all creatures, broken to the core.
And the world shook violently as innocence was no more.

Fly freely oh gentle bird, yes fly freely oh dove.
And one day you will conquer, and one day you'll rise above.

Though that day has not arrived, it has yet to be meet.
And the dove shall slink away for now, accepting it's defeat.

Not sure...Not sure.

Oh my love,
With your endless
Beauty,
Charisma,
and Personality
Can we spawn
The birds of love
This great day.
We are unable to grasp
Anything ending
What we hold dear,
So please treasure my heart
And treat it with care

Inconceivable Hurt

Those we love often hurt us in inconceivable ways,
Our affection is tested, and like wind on leaves, sways.
What a bizarre thought, that love knows how to sting,
It's the material that all of those artists seem to sing.

When they're terribly frequent, the bouts of confusion,
We become a little less than ourselves, not human.
We wish harm upon those that we hold dear,
And what motivates these feelings is blatant fear.

Fear that we're not good enough,
Or that we don't contain the right stuff.
It's frightening to think our love is unrequited,
That those we care about fight it.

But remember, the problem isn't always you,
It isn't always a result of what you do.
The problem can exist in those we love,
Who don't understand that connection is a dove.

You tend to it, encourage it to fly,
Or strangle it and allow it to die.

DOVE

We rest deeply within our cote laying
the fields of quiet and peace.
The silence that lives underneath
an opera singers voice.
In our stillness we float up with
a sweetness of the finest essence
After the storm Noah sends us out
to fulfill a dream to find the
promise land.
As we search all direction we
carry no frustration as our
paths are completely open.

Our love has a steely aggressive
streak cutting through any
emotional obstacle.With a light
but forceful peck we find all
our boundaries broken.
As we slide through every challenge
like a train running through a
mountain.
Hidden behind an invisible wall
we find our isolated heart feeling
broken.
But with our beak a few light taps
and a wave like  wand we find all
our spell are broken.

As the little self guards all his
inner wealth, but another voice
singing , " start sharing" as all
casts are now broken.
On the edge a little chick looking
down staring and just standing with
a little voice saying don't let go
keep on holding.
But a higher force with a heavy boot
just shoves us off, while screaming,
search for something higher.
So a little bird starts tumbling with desperate
little wings that feverishly flapping red face
fluttering.

But caught in the unexpected currents of life
winds push us lower.
Then though all of a sudden like an orchestra
that has just found its conductor or a singer
finding her voice we start flying.
Defenceless little birds I find ourselves powerless
to the forces from above as we are caught but
not in a cage
but in LOVE.
My wings out stretching my heart opening I
find my tiny self racing like a rocket into
an infinite space.
With my love inside my breast you will feel
the tickles of feathers inside your chest.

Fumbling and bumbling chest filled
with love we find no room inside
our home.
With chicks bursting we find our heart
full of explosion. The endless love of a dove
letting go into freedom rising steaming
just keeps on evaporating.
With this incredible task a little birds cover
the world, keep streaming from a magicians hat
they keep on appearing.
As we sink into feathery arms we are delicately
warmed and like a radiator we start glowing.

Love is the hope that hangs in the air
like the star of David.
So when you snuggle into
the love of a dove you will find
yourself anchored at the bottom
of the sea but also high in
the sky above.
So let us travel in the wings
of a doves love

Before

He was a boy of weakened steel,
Pain and anguish he often would feel.

But he loved a boy, who centered him here,
Who coaxed him through love and soothed his fears.

And that same boy often wondered,
If he deserved—by such love—to be thundered.

But then he realized he felt the same,
Felt that he was insignificant, deserved all blame.

But that defines love, in one specific way,
Through tragedies and heartbreak, it never sways.

And though it can be battered, and bruised by life,
True love survives all of that strife.

The boy’s heart was incredibly sore,
But he can now label that time of his life “before”.

“Before” he found him and fell in love,
“Before” he knew that safety was a dove.
“Before” he knew that dove was a boy,
One with, whom, his life could unfurl.

You Smile in Love

Oh dear little dove you smile,
Fly in sky in freedom far mile.
Father has given feathers to fly,
Remain happy you never cry.

Shyness you do not at all feel,
You have ever amazing zeal.
Thrill of wisdom you hold far,
Go on flying you kiss light star.

Scar you leave in lovely moon,
Go on flying, reach you soon.
Noon or night you do not see,
Light your life feel mind thee.

Right direction you do choose,
Sing wisdom you spread news.
God has told he will come soon,
Washing sins he will give boon.

Love waves flow in lovely sky,
To feel life sure you do ever try
You smile in love little far mile,
Oh dear little dove you smile,

This poem is based on happiness and smile to speak about wisdom of God. Dove is a little bird that flies in happiness in far sky and thinks to kiss light and star. Dove has freedom to fly and that is why there is no need to cry in sorrow. Holding thrill of wisdom gives strength here to feel this freedom. In lovely love waves flow and father gives promise that he will come to wash sins of human beings. His boon will flow here in waves definitely and that is why dove should smile here flying so high in sky. Every human being should know this wisdom and hold light in life for up lifting self. This poem is written in Odisha, India and dedicated to the people of the world.

Alight

If I took my chances

& tumbled off the edge,

would you take the plunge with me

or turn and run instead?

If I told you that I had

forsaken love for flight,

would you send your dove

to alight into my night?

The color of gravity

A white dove turned black yesterday
and I wonder if peace can be a piece of me. If my body gets broken down into segments and thrown in a body I'm pretty sure I'll come out the soil of my mothers land.
Less recarnation but more invention.
Ideas thought about for a long time only to be released by another mind.
See thats the problem we hold on the tightest to things that carry less weight. See Gravity can be a real *****,
but I love the way it holds my mind in place.

The Color White

the flapping wings of a dove
waves crashing to the shore
stars that glow from up above
a bride's beautiful wedding dress
holey sheets across children heads in October
a graceful swan, Santa's beard or snowmen
ice melting in springtime rain
daisy peateals and summer clouds
the light that shines from heaven's door
a royal color fit for kings and queens
pearls of the earth; beautiful yet unclear

Gli Animali

And for a moment I'm a gazelle
who hasn't yet fallen
to a lion's teeth
For the night I give in
to the stampede
and--this time for good--keep going

Going, going,
wind beaten as a sailor,
though I may be
flying the way a peacock does
(It's only a feeling, like peace is to a dove)

Let me say something
about the animals--
they keep going, too
They keep going for us
(I am no vegetarian, but sometimes,
instead of meat, I only need
to eat dust.)

For the same reason, I go on
until fed to something larger
than this small person inside
And, like an animal, I don't ever
feel the need to cry
