Air
Universe Poems Dec 2020
Air
Wind whistle,
through the trees,
picking up pace,
sweeping past,
weaving fast,
as it blows breeze
Felt through,
the body, and, knees
over the face,
whoosh,
touching a nose,
shush
Cold ears, and hands,
hot chocolate, with
marshmallows,
waiting on stand,
to warm up the,
marching breeze band,
after been blown around,
like fine sand

Two sides to a face
Universe Poems Dec 2020
Theatrical stage play
Theatrical cast
Two sided mask,
is everyday just a cast
When a woman removes,
her makeup at last,
theatrical is the past,
the real woman,
is seen at last,
revived from theatrical
removable, but looking,
forward to the,
next casting,
not for approval,
will she be recognised,
without makeup removal,
knowing the part,
was given with two sides of
a face approval,
asymmetry, and,
rehearsals as usual

Finding Space Meditation
Universe Poems Dec 2020
Space
Air
Fire
Water
Earth
Elements flowing
Lightest first,
delicate toned down,
the most subtle expression,
of life around,
moving to the heaviest,
dense of earth surround
Progression moves less,
as the list,
goes down

Grand-battement
Universe Poems Dec 2020
Swan Lake,
take us back,
when every girl,
practiced ballet,
and, tap,
but then Irish dancing,
tapped away,
Foot front, behind,
and leg play
River Dance,
then came a trance,
encapsulating the girls,
who wanted to dance

Saintship
Universe Poems Dec 2020
A Saint,
walked on earth,
Centuries ago,
before entering the gate,
helping on ships,
it was so
Sailing treacherous,
rough waters,
reviving the sick,
Imprinted in the,  
memory strip,
touching on land,
at the end of a trip
Now awake,
after seeing the full,
Saintship,
still performing duties,
full circle trip

Essence of a Human Being
Universe Poems Dec 2020
Determination
Is not a citation
It far outweighs,
quotation
It focuses,
on motivation,
pulled from,
Internalisation,
at the centre
of the soul,
reservation,
which feeds,
the whole,
specification,
providing dynamite,
fuelled calculation,
and, realm,
synchronisation

Evolution in the making
Universe Poems Dec 2020
Life sometimes stops,
people chasing,
but opens eyes,
to what was in the making,
all life experiences,
are for the taking,
no time is ever wasted,
in the making,
that was part of the creating,
to stop the chasing,
now embracing the making,
is for the taking,
evolution will,
continue making,
as our experiences,
never stop shaping.

Incivility vs Kindness
Universe Poems Dec 2020
Kindness
Connotation,
in mind nonetheless,
thinking naive or weak,
will address
Not the case,
just blessed,
no incivility,
ungraciousness,
or impertinence,
in the goal,
just generous warmth,
not pity,
care and, concern,
kindness so true,
people put,
in their place,
when incivilities
are the case,
and, insolence
is in your face,
remember good grace,
it is a strong lace

Afternoon Tea
Universe Poems Dec 2020
Afternoon tea,
just for you, and me
Claridge's, Mayfair,
perhaps a woodland,
cabin that is fare,
but still thinking Mayfair,
we could create a setting here,
just the two of us,
my dear
Deep in the woodland,
no combustible fair,
sandwiches cut delicately,
into fingers,
my dear,
scones with clotted cream,
and, jam, sweet pastries,
and, cakes
Is your mind thinking,
of the benefit stakes,
or the woodland humdrum
So long as running water,
is there for me ***,
yes dear,
lots of lakes, and streams,
on this land,
you will see Mayfair,
when you relax, sit,
and, not stand.

Beamish
Universe Poems Dec 2020
Beamish
Bright, cheerful and,
Optimistic, but not
squeamish
Will tackle,
what comes,
on the way,
no pessimistic sway
Just an attitude,
that will slay,
spectacularly well,
all the way,
with care, and compassion,
served all day,
so long as being taken,
for an idiot,
is not in play

Satura
Universe Poems Dec 2020
2000 years ago
Honey, pomegranate seeds,
pine nuts, raisins,
mixed into a cake,
made barley mash,
what an,
allergy crash
Middle ages,
in throw,
fruitcakes with,
preserved fruit and,
spices were popular,
you know
From the 19th century,
fruitcake became a
traditional wedding hit
Christmas also
In England's
cake tin sit
New York Times,
Ancient Romans
Enjoyed Satura,
a substantial
cake capture,
speculation on the dish,
was preserving fruit,
really just,
on the list

Tower
Universe Poems Dec 2020
Beacon hope and,
safe haven
Glimmer light,
over coast,
islands and,
harbor maiden,  
different shapes,
and, sizes,
shine at night,
towers standing out,
help in sight
Numerous Longships,
still severing seafarers,
in the 21st century grip,
modern navigation,
is top pip,
Eddystones still
giving out warnings,
to mariners in the,
modern electronic hip
The lighthouse,
Serving Maritime,
that will not quit
Shining beacon,
will always sit,
waiting to help,
every passing ship,
avoid dangerous shallows,
and, rocky
coastline trips

Signs
Universe Poems Dec 2020
Road signs,
tell you where to go
All signs removed,
what would happen though
Some remote countries,
no signs they still go
Finding the never ending,
or unknown,
without condescending,
no mental foliage for befriending
So what lies at the end
of a road,
in Costa Rica
will it be what,
you seeker
More important,
is the human feature,
of dialogue,
than metal teacher
People interacting,
should always,
be a feature
Or man made metal,
becomes a permanent,
fixed teacher
No resemblance
to the primary,
knowledge teacher,
with life experience,
as the primary feature,
geographical preacher
Is redundant in feature

Six Months
Universe Poems Dec 2020
Six months in darkness,
six months in light
Tilted earth axis,
top and, bottom
six months of day,
followed by six,
months of night,
photography captures,
clothing colours,
dim or bright,
but black and, white,
souls are seen,
in full light,
made up of pearlescence,
and, beautiful,
wood lamps light,
darkness can prevail,
and, still shine with,
with long days,
of black, and white

Backdrop
Universe Poems Dec 2020
Backdrop,
scenery
ranging in length,
expansive eyes,
no expense,
wider than the,
boundary fence
Treetops, and sizes,
seem so dense,
conifers deep racing green,
shimmering with delicate,
black sheen
Sunlight drifting,
behind the scene,
hits tree branches,
with light clearly seen,
drawing to distant,
horizons we seem
Let's float into,
the backdrop dream
Forget the tv screen

sending out,
comes back to you
Sowing you must do

in your brew
Be mindful life echoes
back to you
Radiate goodness,
that will always grace you.

Boundlessness
No beginning no ending,
infinite space transcending
galaxies can't compete with,
no ending, eclipse,
universe, and souls ascending, calculators can't perform,
immeasurable with no ending,
no infinite screen,
no fraction beam,
writing is the only ledge,
used, and seen,
for this pledge
Take the horizontal line,
above the decimal prime,
to the right of the numbers,
on the line,
infinity on paper,
but completely immeasurable,
in a lifetime,
writing can never,
go out of historic, and present style
Pen to paper will always,
go the extra mile

Autonomy
Universe Poems Nov 2020
I could, and I did
I used autonomy,
which thought big
Standing alone and,
never hid
Some others tell you
You can't do big
Out the box thinking,
never hid, just expanded,
thoughts that were big and,
left a clear picture
Of closed box literature,
on offer to the open box,
best selling picture,
with autonomy selling,
fast in the mixture,
stay away from small,
minded fixture, it is poison,
to your picture.
