Through the trees;

the wind whispers many names.

Funny thing..... ..

I've never once;

heard your name.

Even through a throated bird's morning serenade;

I have yet,
to hear your name.

Whisper it... ..

to me.
My love, I adore when your jeweled eyes
captivate every fiber of my being

When your perfect lips whisper words that only I can hear from miles away

When your slightest touch brings me to volcanic eruptions with lava overflowing

My love, you are a steady stream of sweaty summer nights that I hoped would never end

You are ...my love

You are my sunrise
You are my sunset

You are the sparkle that lives inside my eyes
before heading
out on a journey
of revenge,
be mindful
to dig
two graves
before you
leave
It was dark

But,
she didn't ask me
to plug the light in

Rather,
she asked me to
plug myself into her

We lit that room
up with fire
Itinerary.....


In my sights?

An exhale of luminescent moonlight tonight.

Hope that y'all let it scratch ya in places ohhh so right.

Dream a little dream with her under a Galaxy of delight.
don't be afraid
of their
thorns

go ahead,

go out
and find
another
rose

we all
have thorns

we all
have our
storms

as the storm
trickles down
your thorny
stem
remember,

one day... ..
you will be
here again
A star
one of billions
one without equal
the light each emits
again draws no parallel
I've happened upon the brightest
so fortunate was I
my path well lit
this star shines forever brightest
in my eyes
in my heart
until my last breath
The darkness
of one's soul
is worth
shining a
light upon
What we lack and sorely need,
for want of which we bleed and bleed.
Is men of more Godly breed,
honest men in highest places... ..
men with single aims and faces.
Men whose nobler thought outpaces
thought of self,
or power,
or pelf.
Men whose axes need no grinding,
men who are not always minding
first their own concerns and blinding,
their souls' eyes to larger things... ..
Men of wide and Godly vision,
men of quick and wise decision,
men who shrink not at derision... ..

Men whose souls have wings.
She's the first drop of rain on my tongue in the desert

She's the shade tree that spares me from the open skied sunbursts

She's the log on the fire that crackles and glows brightly

She's that drink you desire by the fire you need nightly

She's the sugar in my coffee that sweetens my morning

She's the fantasy in my dreams that makes me so *****

She's the desire that somehow showed up without warning
Six
  feet
    of
      dirt
        make
          all
            men
              equal
Delicious fruit
can quickly turn
into sand

From pulp
to grain
slipping through
one's hand
This sunset is
remarkable

I have never
felt so alive

The sun
hovers over
the horizon
like a boss
You frame your own self loathing when casting aspersions of those that left you behind

Your window is a fractured rendering of a broken image

The adolescent tone of your written words is a sign

Your wounds are clearly deep for which there is no bandage

They must have really hurt you for you to write about them all of the time

Move on because in this life they are someone that you are meant to miss

Your spite filled pen, heart and tongue will never bring back their kiss upon your lips

You're not even a beautiful mess
You're just a mess

Worry about yourself and think about them less

Stop longing for their caress

Your love for them is truth and not something that you need to confess

Repair your window of broken glass
Your shattered vision of what was, will never bring back the past
One meets
his destiny
often ...

in
the road
he takes
to avoid
it.
Love is but
a perceived notion.

Love crumbles at the drop of a hat.

Love is volatile.

Love is not carnival
magician inspired.

Love is
not "journaled".

Love is
Love.

I'm a lover
and... ..

you can't fool me
with
your
imposter of love.

If you want love?

There's only
one of me.
Forgive me but,

I seem to have
left some of
my words
deep inside
those gaping
wounds of yours

Retrieving them
is of no interest
to me

I may even,

push them in
deeper when the
opportunity
arises

I missed vital
organs intentionally,

for now anyway.
I'll kiss your scars

if....

you kiss

mine.
Sometimes miracles take time

In the meanwhile,

just enjoy the sky.

Eventually,

time flies.

Today is a
perfect
sunny and
75.

Today
was a
great day
to be
alive.

The river
sparkled like
sparklers
on a
4th of July
night.

Her on
my arm
that felt
oh so right.

Others
walk by
and admire
our love.

She is
perfection
sent from
Heaven above.

The soft
river's breeze
made love
to her hair.

I just stood
back and
took in the
beauty that
was standing
in front
of me
there.

Sunny
and 75.
A loud siren
breaks the
pre dawn
silence

Is that
emergency vehicle traveling
in your
direction this morning?

Be thankful
Life is
just so hard
at times... ..
so hard.
so,

when we finally get together

i am going to need hours with you
because,

there are parts of you that i know that i am going to want to linger in longer than others

and after we at long last become one,

and our bodies lie limp from passion's exhaustion...

i want to fall asleep with my ***** inside of you

so that when we awaken and your hips begin to gyrate once again,

those unforgettable hours can begin to be repeated all over again
When people see courage, they are drawn to it like a magnet.
She may have been the diamond in the rough

but,

she was the diamond that cost me everything.
Girl;
don't go away mad.

I never
even
asked you
to
go away.

We are all
a masterpiece
unfinished.

Unfinished
but,
in no way
diminished.

I

I wondered about, wondering -

and then,

I wondered some more -

Is death, death -

Or is death, birth -

Do birds fly only because they have wings -

Or do birds fly because Jesus is beneath their wings, or both-

Is tomorrow the first of never -

Or is tomorrow the first of forever -

Do words slay giants like a keen sword -

Or are words as mighty as the pen that brings them to life -

Or the mind that never stops wondering about them -

I wonder -

And, I will never
stop wondering -

I never
noticed before,
the deep blue
of your eyes
and the way
that they
mimic a
cloudless
summers sky.

I never
noticed before,
an eagles flight
and the
confidence of
which they fly.

I never
noticed before,
how red
the color
of your lips,
and how much
they resemble
a dew
moistened rose.

I never
noticed before,
the depth
of your beauty
while striking
my favorite pose.

I never
noticed before,
how my
heart skips
a beat
when I just
simply ...
think of you.

I never
noticed before,
when it's
just you
and me...

the population
goes away
and in the world ..

it's just us two!

So;

phew... ..

after skatey eight
rounds of chemo
and radiation that
has burned me worse than any encounter with the sun ever could.....?

Thousands of dollars wasted
and debt
while making my
remaining days
on this Earth
an excruciating
24/7 theatre of
unnecessary,
expensive pain!

And after all of this?

I have "Dr." Chen with absolutely no bedside manner
'matter of factly'
tell me that... ..
"we can not do anymore to help you".

Okay;
I get it, I am dying and I can handle that,
and I knew that but... ..

Help me?!?!?!

You didn't "help me" you... ..
you
greedy,
selfish,
ignorant,
POS
devil you.

But hey;
guess what?

Sure, I will concede my death
is near.

Thanks to you and your high priced concoction of death,
my death has
only been
accelerated.

But me?

My life,
my life is only beginning once
I leave this den of iniquity and
you... ..
"Dr satan".

While you?

Ha.
Haha!

You?

You will be burning in a hell like you have never seen on this Earth.

Every day....
Every hour
Every minute
Every second
of your
'after life'.

And me?

I will be chatting it up with Jesus
and asking for your forgiveness
because well... ..

that's my
beautiful soul
and heart
looking out
for vultures
like you.
If you're going to like anything from me?
I hope that you enjoy this truth.
We
We
In God we trust.
In Jesus we live.
In life, we are but a mere smudge
on the lens of eternity.
Eternal life has such a poetic tone to it.
Brown and dried up Autumn leaves

Slowly fracture into pieces

Carried away by the winds of today -

into another day's tomorrow.

Up against the decrepit curb

Perilously close to the gutter.

Winds have calmed to just a breeze

With winter snow's they wait to freeze.
satan is running amok
these days

he captivates the weak
in deceitful ways

torment and torture reflect
the saddened
skies of grey

pray for light as powerful
as the sun's rays

to shine upon the darkness
and heed what Jesus
has to say

the landscape slithers with
snakes that once had
called you friend

fall to bended knee and pray
for their soul to surpass
the ebon dead end

as a child of God we must,
good or bad
we must defend

pray that all lost souls
eventually......
will find their way
once again

judge thee not the one
that cast aspersions
behind thy back

they know not what they do
'cause the shadows is
from where they attack

their blackened eyes
their blackened heart
it's Jesus that they lack

love them anyway
and know .....
you've remained upon
God's forgiving track

we are not thee judge
we are not thee jury

we are not thee lamb
we are not His fury.
Poets are never ending romantacists on a moonstruck Caribbean beach with ambiantic waves kissing a star soaked horizon

Poets are flames that flicker from a lover's breath and that whispers their name under candlelight sight and forever's caress

Poets are also earthquakes, hurricanes and tornados because we yearn for great storms in life to write

Poets are the artists that create pictures with words that trace your lips and tense your body with climactic fantasies

We poets are song writers in 5 minutes notice, greeting card and love letter writers

We poets are what many crave to be or yearn to be with.

Because, once you're with a poet you aren't ever going back!
Late fall when leaves have left their summer homes just to lay helpless on the cold wet earth.

Some lay together in bunches in corners, while others have a space all of their own.

Some drift along a rippled water's surface being pushed far away by autumn's northeasterly winds.

Their magnificent colors are all but ignored now.

The swooshing- rattling-crackling sounds as a gentle breeze blew through their once summer home is now a distant memory.

A memory not for the leaf you understand, but for the viewer that has valued the leaf's existence.

Appreciated its every movement and sound,
sang its praise for shade against the harsh summer sun.

Even its very last movement, falling to the earth helplessly, gracefully,
only now to be walked upon by those that never noticed them in the first place.

These leaves, they share no animosity nor disappointment in those that never look upon them.

They only feel sorry for them.

But, next season after the cold winter's night has passed,
the leaves will be back once again in their full vibrant glory, living on their summer homes,
providing camouflage for a bird's nest buried deep inside,
providing shade and shelter even to those that choose to ignore all of which they are.

Only to "Fall" and "leave" us once more,
just to do it all over again and to hopefully acquire a new fan or two.
Why,
they listen
to a group
called
Secret Garden
of course.

I look around me and it looks like the world is melting.
Stars are breaking away from the sky and falling.
The clouds are grey and cry never ending tears, or so it seems.
The moon is rarely even whole, just a fraction of itself.
The sun even runs away from me after a little while.
The angry river's horizon swallow the day and bring yet more darkness.
Boats disappear upon those waters with nary a beacon heard.
Trees are ravaged by hurricane'd winds as they weep and wilt.
Roses and their bouquet are trampled and their thorns are all that's left behind.
Strangers walking under the street lights are just that, 'stranger' to me everyday.
What is this place?
What is this tortured existence?
I want to run away from it but I can't because,
this place is everywhere.
It's even in my dreams, my nightmares.
He never meant for the ground under my feet to always feel like it was opening up.
Or for me to keep pushing myself further and further away from a love for life.
My bed is my best friend.
My head is the only thing that exists that knows all of my secrets and feelings.
I keep a tiny light on in my bedroom so not to always be in 100% darkness.
What is this place?
I muse.
Even my muses feel my anxiety and pain.
What is this place?
Hope is my super blood moon smile and...
Smiles are hard to find on this face.
Wake up early, before the lights come on
in the houses on a street that was once
a farmer’s field at the edge of a marsh.

Wander from room to room, hoping to find
words that could be enough to keep the soul
alive, words that might be useful or kind

in a world that is more wasteful and cruel
every day. Remind us that we are
like grass that fades, fleeting clouds in the sky,

and then give us just one of those moments
when we were paying attention, when we gave
up everything to see the world in

a grain of sand or to behold
a rainbow in the sky, the heart
leaping up.


Joyce Sutphen
society and
most people
  in general
    disappoint me.

it's not their fault,
    well,
      mostly not.

the way some
   treat animals,
      other humans,
and
        just how they
disrespect life....
    other than their own
      of course.

i don't ****
   ants...
     spiders...
flies...
   i don't hurt anything
and i...
   i have a difficult time
in understanding those
     that can.

as i said.
   it's not your fault,
well, mostly not.

  i just expect more
     from humans that
on the outside at least,
      appear to be like me.

but i guess
   that's why our insides
are....
       our insides.
they are like
  a secret.

    for some....
a very ugly secret.
Don't
hide,

don't
run
away

because;

God's
not
done
with
you.

Keep
it
together

because;

He
will
get
you
through.

Cancer
can
knock
down
my
door

but;
with
Him
my
home
is
fresh
and
new.

His
light
is
my
favorite
hue,

and
His
promise
my
glue.


written by me... ..
The wind blows through the trees and whispers their song.
The whisper of a doves wings, preparing to take flight.
The waves that roll and whisper with laughter crashing upon a sandy paradise.
The gentle whisper of a sunset as the moon and stars take center stage.
Your whisper wraps around us all, a genuine warm embrace.
Your heartbeat whispers, just loud enough for all to acknowledge its love.
That is my favorite whisper of all.




written by me... ..
As the grey,
envelops the sky.

I reminisce of rain
and the sadness of why.

Why life couldn't be as endless as the sky.

Why life, like grey skies seem to just whistle on by.
I've got a million of them folks
Glass top waters are rare and fleeting.

The world today craves drama and disagreeing.

It's tough to find the elusive desert rose.

As anger and hate now sits where it use to grow.

Lawns once fertilized with love and a watery barrage.

Now just blistering sand with mirage after mirage.

Packing heat as well in the form of cold steel.

Civil wars brink has arrived with bloodshed and bullets as the meal.

End of times/days certainly draws near.

Glass top waters more than ever, so rare.
I have so much more that I want to say,
to you.

Can I mute the world and share my words with a rose that is,
my favorite hue?

Your color,
it mimics an Aruban sky's
fantastic blue.

Allow me to speak and melt into one, and no longer two.
