Adept to boundless motion

Intuitively gauging where to cast

Her divine light.

Uplifts spirits

Floating back and forth between realms

Soothing and cooling bumps of strife

With caramelized honey.

Translucent with blue

Clouds of whimsy float through
George Morales Mar 2019
There is a man in a cell, doubting his decision.
There is a man next to him, forgiving his own sin.
There is a nun in the convent, looking up for god.
There is a priest in his tower, looking down on man.

There is a morning somewhere now, rising in the sky.
There is an evening settling down, fading away.
There is growth and rebirth and death and decay.
There is stunted potential and dreams are fulfilled.

There is a woman in a car, trying to drive the narrow.
There is a woman walking slowly while the curb bends from her feet.
There is a salesman pitching innings, and it’s only just the first.
There is a customer, buying everything his wallet touches last.

There is the sun and all the stars, defiant in their heavens.
There is the moon and all the galaxies, distant purgatories.
There is the dollar and there is time, but not for everything.
There is a place and there are habits, just about for everyone.

There is a girl and a boy, holding hands together.
There is a boy and a girl, yelling at each other.
There is the singer speaking only of times past.
There is the crowd remembering what never was.

There is a chance and there is nothing, one waiting for the other.
There is a cage and there is freedom, depending on one another.
There is everything and there is nothing, not exclusive in their stance.
There is yin and there is yang, a bigger purpose than the pieces.

There is a mother smiling somewhere, her child is at her feet.
There is a father laughing loudly, tickle fighting with his children.  
There is a chef inside the kitchen, creating something new.
There is a hungry girl at the table, fork already in her hand.

There is a bed, with a family lying on it and they are sleeping soundly.
There is tomorrow and there was yesterday, but today is almost over.
There is a dream and a reaction, an explosion of motivation for the soul.
There is always something waiting, but just for those who seek it out.
I plucked a shamrock for him,
Beautified with the glamour of the green,
Mystified with the aroma of the wild.
I am keeping it for him to give,
May love & luck shall be his,
With all the shamrock blessings.
Today is St Patrick's day. I m fascinated by the Irish shamrock, blessings n the celebration of the green. The poem is inspired by the spontaneous thought of the past "recollected in tranquillity." The thought of shamrock luck, charm is simply aesthetic. It has certain universal charm. A simple plant becoming the symbol of luck is truly beautiful. Simplicity can represent such thoughts of luck. It represents not only Trinity & mysticism but also youth and aura of liberation. And truly it's charming, I must say.

May I propose a fifth season
It’s anytime you feel happy
And the world suddenly shifts
Rain becomes music
And sunlight happy dancers
Leaves fall like inhibitions
And snow comforts warmly
This season is universal
No happiness is equatorially dependent
A smile is a smile
In rain or sun or leaves or snow
The world can be changed
By a glimpse of the fifth season

I hurt just the same
More or less
Still, there’s no rest
And these pages scribbled
Adorned with ink blots
-every other word
And there’s very little punctuation.
---
Scratched a line that was a lie,

Another removed, for it said too much.
Should be simple to understand
Really;
I hurt just the same.

Undertone,  the time spent on tone ,past circles where emotions ran high
Couch vibes, scary movies never missed in the pursuit to enjoy time never spent
But remeberence of that time in pink, fuschia It might have been
Times past , little pastimes shaded in sin
Nothing like the last time,  baked pizza and a smile for happiness that never hit past five five
It was too short now in a right mind, only memories left for good times
Water on the bless , your beautiful unoff for a lifetime
Yet that bullet never made it to my heart till rusted pistol never stopped time
I'm gone
I'm wrong
Now fly on while I sing along , you too cut on your don't fuvk with me flow

Sing

I plead with you not to speak except to break the air and sing
Bring forth the heart that is listening
Dutiful to your passion, fulfilled, holding aloft that which can never be still;
The jagged heartbreak, the quavering schill calling plaintively, "Are you coming for me?"
...
"Are you coming back for me?"

And you reject the old bylines, criticisms, cataclysms of popular opinion
Noise buzzing within you turns to vibration
And you know
I have always been here

Grasp that which they say cannot be held
And continue as if no one is watching

The universe is full of pretty mysteries
That I can feel, but cannot see
One of those pretty mysteries
This universe has made
Was me

Love,
a word that spread off the whole world
sometimes a million people try to make it looks good
sometimes they just hang on a big misunderstood

i looked back on a corner and saw how people mean it
the most just thinking the rest are always show it
they said
love, when you give and give

love is every sweat wetting your father's skin
it's a smile from your mom even when she's hurting
it's a hugs and kisses from your grandas while see you coming

and when you grow and see the world behind your door home
you will find other kind of love
you'll see some people who always say hello
take you to their secret room and spend the time together
it's a friendship, neither lie nor a shelter

the last but not least,
let me wishper and end the list
that love is kind of simple, altough
it maybe unlogic and unpredictable
you don't have to worry or screaming a rebel
just show your love, cause if not, it looks like a riddle



A day in 2014
It's my very first poem I wrote in 2014
