If i were to die today
With my life
In such disarray
At least now
I have
If nothing else
Lived as long as i have
Not sure how
Or why
Maybe my purpose
Will be revealed
After ive left
This mortal coil
Perhaps pigs may fly?
In the meantime
I shall remain
Floating
Seemingly aimlessly
Like a petal
Caught on a wind of chance
Always present
But never quite here

by Jemia
I remember
the deserved reprimand
it reminds me
of the dearly departed
my mother and my dad
thus
I thankfully treasure
the unreachable hand
rebuke
the unteachable mind.
Proverbs twenty-two v six
So high a price,
So thoughtless paid,
A loaded dice,
A promise made,

A whispered lie,
A look away,
And love to die,
And pain to stay,

Another game,
Another end,
So stay the same,
So just pretend.

I look back on what you wrote me
3 years ago
often in bittersweet fashion
the things you said about "staying open"
and it took me that amount of time to get there
3 years
it hurt like hell but I did it
I hope you are proud
I am nothing like I used to be
l looked forward to a goodnight
not a goodbye

l wish l could bid you farewell
so long grandma, until we meet again
Explosion in funky beats
Dreams in the key of acid
The Ascension of Coltrane himself
Nothing more Nothing less
Bliss in raging fevers
The exact color of exquisite
Heartbeats in lime and bubbles
with a dash of salt
Help you remember how it feels
to feel
If, the brain and pen were lost so
never put putinism into practice...
Putin's
game
Russian
roulette
Ukraine
a "deaf" con alert
Vladimir's bullying Jane
carnage
camouflaged
No this is not humane,
media
rocks
Jack in a box
history and pedigree
chariots of a liar
the planet
is pire.
ENTER THE MIRE.
Inspired by me truths poem
Quagmire rising
✌&1❤:)))
And the world looked on
remembering tales of death and destruction
from parents and grand parents
Sacrifices made by so many so we would not suffer
"They shall not grow old"

"lease we forget"

One man did

women and children are dying
"Age shall not weary them"
are we just going to watch
"At the going down of the sun, and in the morning"

And the world looked on
