Rose Who Knows Jan 2020
You were the beast
that ravished
my heart.
James Rives Jan 2020
none if it was supposed to happen,
no wine spilling
from whosever glass heart
would hold it.
mine shattered, and it poured profusely,
condescension and hatred,
in good measure.

the lies were supposed to rest
on an old, dusty shelf
with books you no longer read,
forlorn, while warmer things
filled your heart.
only now that it's gone,
do you believe yourself the victim,
and pretend to care.
from what remains, no love of any kind
will ever echo for you again.
I hope your hot priest comes along and breaks your heart in the worst ways.

Now, a new stream, new persona at the keys, perhaps,
we go with it,

a team thing, the old boys, who were never serious,

'til the end, amazing
grace, 'n'all that... they meet the guy that was gonzo

for Jesus, the proto-type, maybe,

but now, he's mellow, got the basic boomer

sub urban rural typical tv family of the decade types

of stories forming pustules in stages
sure to be virulent

if one of 'em pops.

Jesus, what if it got out.

Right.
That easy. Peace in the midst of chaos,

the perfect circle in the wide part of the dark paisley,

yinyangyenyank twang twang bang

stradivarian wood, we froze our buts off dis

covering the never hidden, merely,
yet to be known, sealed knowns
known in physics and biology
'n'mythical synchronal stars
all things working right on
deconstruction
zones

sorting pieces of the plans,

we have 8 strands,

3 have marks from the cain diet,
2 y carriers hold mods
from the fires
of both Tubal and Jubal, so they hold

the intuitions,

these are the sybils we were sent to make clear.
Is this clear.
Texting leaves records, as does light,

time is written in light.
May be.

So,
in the direction of the spin, we lean,
and the yingyangthang rolls,

just like ol' sisyphus's rock, perpetual motion,
with a will to live,

leaving be,
I believe you shall eventually come from under the umbrella.

I am defining my terms,
in preparation,

making up a myth, to play with, to see if ifity is as I imagine,

as enjoyable as any creative urge indulged,

in the post truth acknowledgement

beginner's pool. No disconnection here.

Look, quarter in the telescope,
out there, we are beyond all you think or ask

potentialities,
you believe the Bible, you believe me, we words
to the wise enough,

evil is as evil does, not as evil thinks it does, it lies.
I shared a sceptics view of trump and was told by a survivor of the pensacola miracle that I ought to repent of my pernicious ways, and he played right into my record of days

Last night.
It was as if we were strangers
Passing each other
On the street,
Instead of almost twenty years
Of history.

But it didn’t hurt.
It felt...
Okay.

Solar Eclipse
Free Verse Poem | Poem on Nature

As the sun rises,

With lots of surprises,

Granting one after the other,

As slowly the day goes on,

The moon comes out mysteriously,

Blocking the sunny view of the happy people,

As the day gets dark,

As the nights of the shadows,

Making all of them frown,

The day continues for a while,

And immediately vanishes,

The people who saw that spectacular event,

Get surprised and worried,

The children get excited,

As the night goes long,

A night in the middle of the day.

This poem is about solar eclipse.  It is quite different from lunar eclipse.  That is to say that moon crosses the path and comes in between earth and sun.

Meanwhile some enthusiast await for eclipses but most of the people also worried about its negative impact.  Somehow people are afraid of coming out of the houses during solar eclipse but in contrast people with cameras loved to take pictures of it.

Solar eclipse on 25/26 December 2019 is called as final eclipse of the decade.  On christmas day, sun appears about one percent smaller in the sky.  Therefore we will be able to observe a ring of fire.

Some of the people are worried about eclipse and ask their children to stay away from the dark rays of the eclipse.

What are your thoughts about lunar and solar eclipse?

READ the poem before your eyes.
Speaking aloud is a pleasant surprise
for the sitting poem, in disguise,
is waiting for a reader to watch it’s sunrise.
Poems always mean more than what people think. Don’t be too quick to move your pen.

It’s you all along.
Time heal? Forgive? Forget?
Those are just comforting words, it never work.

It’s been a year and it ******* hurts
Wake up every morning and ask myself
‘When are you gonna come back?’
Every single day just waiting till dark.

Tried to move on but why does it look like what I do on a daily basis, leads back to you?
Will you come back please?
Wouldn’t mind traveling down for you when I know my wallet it’s gonna burn a hole.
Wouldn’t mind to do anything for you.

But all you do is leave me on ‘read’
You couldn’t see how much efforts I put in
just to travel down somewhere near you but knowing I won’t able to see you but that is the only way to feel close again.. ‘close’
It’s always you

Us
As the crimson red colour fades
As the last ray of sun dies
I fetch myself out
Run toward the roads
Sieve the sand of my fortune
To if there exist a single line
Line of your laughter and smile
Holding my hands in your own
To see if there still exists
The last possibility
For you and me
As us......
