GREEN BRONX MACHINE

GREEN BRONX MACHINE

container of seeds
no place to reap
a radiator tucked behind
forgotten over time
they didn't see
the happening underneath
tensions rose
students on their toes
gloves off
weapons sought
no sticks or rocks
but a garden box
sudden pause
oohs and awes
couldn't believe their eyes
what a beautiful sight
brows unfurled
picking buds for girls
bouquets taken home

Eyes Open Wide

With purest open heart

Negativity now depart

In beauty walking

Inner voice talking

Cleansed, whole

Mind, body, soul

Harmonious living

Smiles easily giving

Complete inside

Eyes open wide

Still point that is sought

All actions, all thought

Transformation undergo

To understand, to know

Truly deeply fathom

Love in every atom…

Wake up

Courtesy of 'C'

 

The call of  Courage

Will cause you

To pull back

The covers

Of uncertainty

And lift your

Head from

A cosy cushion

At first 

You may

Crawl

But out of

Your

Comfort Zone

You must

Come

"The Ropes Are Fraying And Soon I'll Sail"

“The ropes are fraying and soon I’ll sail”
pencilled grey
along the edge of my notebook page
a heart-breaking phrase
sure to inspire, somehow
 
Flicking through, I read it again
and pause to lament;
That boat washed out
its anchorage severed
silently, in the night
no words, no words
 
He’s gone
and into that sad darkness 
so many other ships would follow
The town seems quiet this e...

Bumblebee

Sometimes you can surprise yourself at what you can acheive when you ignore your so called limitations...

 

Bumblebee's body

Is way too heavy

It's wing span

Far too small

Aerodynamically

This little fella

Can't fly

But he doesn't

Know that 

At all

He keeps flying...

Warrior of Spirit

When you invest in yourself you're better able to be of service to others...

 

Cultivating patience

Mastering persistence

Strengthening of mind

Building up resistance

Turning rage

To courage

In the heat of

Pure devotion

Streaming forth

A life force

Greater than 

An ocean

Evaporating uncertainty

Continuing to flourish

All within his orbit

Patience

 

As an inspirational writer I write about topics that we all can relate to.

 

      Patience

 

Some have said, Patience is a Virtue,

A Moral Trait, a Strength in Faith.

Patience comes when you know

All is well and a Higher Power prevails.

 

There is a calmness, a peacefulness knowing all is well.

That your life is in complete control.

Whether you're standing in...

On A Wing and A Prayer

A very private piece I posted on my Public Blog, this morning.  Please come and tell me what you think.

   On A Wing and A Prayer

 

I came into this world on a wing and prayer.

Soon my innocence robbed, my spirit I don't know where.

Born by anger, confusion and sin.

I hid my pain, and my fear I kept within.

 

During my youth, my innocence a...

Time is My Fall

Now in my senior years, I look at time differently than when I was in my twenties. I can look back at ten-year intervals and see how time affected me. The older I get; time becomes more precious. I seem to have wasted a lot of time. In my youth I thought I was invincible and had plenty.  Then my thoughts were; ‘When I have time…’ Now time is shorter and I am not sure I have enough time. Makes one ...

A Single Mom


Single Mothers

A rare breed of women
To each their own,
Guiding and protecting their kids
Making a safe home.

She is a Queen in Multitasking
She can whip up a full meal,
While fixing the kitchen sink.
There' nothing she can't deal.

She lives to be of service
A commitment she holds dear
Remembering her responsibility
To her home, means the most here.

She's a mother with the b...

FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS

I like bridges and piers, in a parallel World I’m a civil engineer
in this World I am mostly civil and mostly sincere

I like architecture, in a parallel World I designed Big Ben

In this World I just sketch buildings with my pen

I like trains, in a parallel World I drive them across the USA

In this World no leaves on the track is for all I pray

I like trees, in a parallel World I ha...

Nature Freely Gives

Jack In The Green awakens from his slumber

Spring is upon us, nature in all her wonder

Gaze in awe of rebirth, renewal, fertility

Stood deep in the forest, deep within tranquillity

 

Robin Goodfellow his mischief to perform

Souring milk, trampling crop circles from fields of corn

Tripping those who into the green wood unwary tread

Laughing, yet another traveller away from p...

ROCKET

ROCKET

split and
shattered
silencing
inner clatter
missing rung
on Jacob's ladder
soul grows
old
from lies
told
dragged up
in a ward
double edged
sword
no chance
to bloom
for creativity
no room
typhooning
through
like a
corkscrew
spun
around
spiralled
down
turning
weather
nothing lasts
forever
stories i
can tell
secrets hidden
well
colorful
