Kafka Joint

Between sleeping and not sleeping there's so much meaning,
Lost and sleepily found again,
Causing joy and provoking pain.

My Prison

My Prison

My tongue is a double-edged sword.
Every time I open my mouth
I hurt others.

But I hurt myself even more.

Because the words that leave my lips
are words spoken by a monster.
Words that fly out furiously
whenever I feel like a hurt animal
that's backed into a corner.

They're always followed with a tsunami of
"I'm sorry"s
and me using whatever charm I have left
to make you forgive me.

So I can do it again.

It's a vicious cycle,
one that has, over time, became my prison.

A prison I don't have the key to...

Grace (Prosperity Poem 134)

Earth and sea
Time and space
Truth for truth
Grace for grace

Worlds were formed
Light embrace
Filled with beauty
Saved by grace

Open heart
Doubt replace
With the love
Giv’n by grace

One day soon
Face to face
We will know
Whence our grace

This poem was written for a particular image.

This background was one of the options for the poem "Like Wind" but another background was chosen.

However, I liked the picture so well that I created a poem tailored just for that image.

Grace has multiple meanings, and I play with that idea in the poem.

The carriage clock

How time flies and can drag its feet in the sand
at the same time,
ornery, they call it and sometimes it's a downright
misery,
but time is what we've got and not a lot of it,
most of the time.

We worry about getting things done
but
the sun won't go out if we don't,

just chill, time
will do its own thing.

barriers

barriers

people they build barriers lock their self behind

they just never tell you what is on there mind

keep it to them self hidden out of view

there behind there barrier hiding it from you.

maybe we could help if they just let us know

help them drop their barrier help to let them go

take away the wall that they built so high

tell us what the reason and tell us what the why

KEY

The Muse in on Hiatus
so I’m left to
scrabble
amongst discarded words
and phrases
to see if there
could be an
undiscovered simile
that might unlock
the cupboard door
and give access
to all the verse
that’s hidden there
ljm

Who put the padlock on it?
