footfalls

she dreams    
in pane-glass reflections      
between here and now    
lounging in the middle    
of how      
     
summer heat warms      
her memories, nights      
wrapped in his safe arms      
but of hospital echos    
and emptiness, too      
     
she burgeons    
from experience    
shadows life's lead    
garners meaning      
independently    
     
she desires a repeat      
so thick in dreamery      
the future appears oblique    
a vertigo sense of being      
     
If any balance exists      
it lies not beneath      
nor above her-      
but, in the second hand      
of each breath she exhales      
     
between life and death    
lies footfalls      
      
she plants each with grace    
and ineffable beauty of spirit      
an example to us all      
of how to carry on  
~    
     
     
Jemac    
'JeJe' is a quite, graceful writer sharing her hopes, desires, fears, and dreams from the tragedy of past experience.  Despite the pain of life, she walks in beauty and grace, sharing each footfall through poetry.

R

 A rose with petals of titanium  

Her bloody thorns tiny daggers  
ripped my flesh, elevated me  
 
I kneel, and know she is my love

deliberately aimless

Deliberately aimless
  
Not just in the current city where my  
domicile of choice exists but also towns  
small with one or two main streets, I    
love to roam and visit the wholeness  
of the entire city so that I might feel  
experience and know its  culture &  
peoples.  
No decisions made as to where or    
when to act upon the where only to  
immerse myself by interacting with  
the awakening hustle and bustle of  
a place where everyone knows    
everyone and everyone’s business.  
I am the Flaneur Gook who now  
everyone is gossiping about  
not just in my small city but in  
everywhere -  small town.  
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
I’ve have been reading / following oskar for nearly a decade  
& his subtle wit and humor in his ink has captured me  
to a point where I wish I could share his ink with everyone!  
AND what is up with his #themes??!!  Love them though I do  
not understand the choices.

Jemac’s poetry speaks to me of the very human journey through life’s ups and downs, charting spirited responses to each event along the way. Her poems cut unsuspectingly deep into the human soul.

For The Living

https://deepundergroundpoetry.com/poets/JohnnyBlaze/

I find Johnny Blaze’s poetry combines surprise and straight-talking with a sense of feet-on-the-ground and a subtle undercurrent of the ephemeral nature of things.

Nattdans med himleni (Inlak'esh beautiful one)

(1)Dawn

You are the very light that welcomes
weary travellers
those that have strayed from the path
unto darkness, that fearful unknown
Those journeys walked
are the individuals steps to walk alone

You had said
All we can, is but shine for them
perhaps, bright enough to guide them
Home if they so desire
to feel again 'source', warmth... Connected

Go now
You had said
be that shining beacon, little bird.. fly
or had you forgotten those questions
in the ethereal pool

Remember what it means

to play the illuminaries
Little bird don't cry, next time we meet
it will be 'I' that is holding 'you'

(2)Reflections

Descending
through Cassiopias wispy hair strands
acceleration lightening speed
quickening pace
leveling out
slipped through
even andromedas fingertips

What the soul promised on that day,
when time herself awoke conscious
that ancient of pacts became broken
The wings removed from both parties
Fading memories..
Flash?
Pain?
Ash?

Fallen
Fall
Falling
how long has this gone
Days, weeks, months
Countless millennia

A million stars shoot past
as if in farewell

(3) Rise

Look
how bright that one burns
Even in its last gasp death throes
Look, still 'that' which is pure
fueling defiantly, all but fumes now
soon to crash as a tear drop in the ocean

catch a falling star  
keep it within a lantern  
better that then let it die

Wake little bird
Arise from your slumber
Rest a moment, here within my arms
you are safe, fear not little bird
For we have much to accomplish,
remember..
it is 'I' that is holding 'You'
As it was, when all was one

{III} Midnight Elixir ~ {Inspired by Shadoe}

{III}

Drunk on fetal eyeballs,
cor'd from wilted apples
blossom'd in pink velvet~
my bosom on your shards ov petals
peeled from yesterday's remnants
of us.

{II}

Slaughtered renderings
sketch'd in nightshade
billow in the nak'dness
of your curls of agony.
I lick your flaming skin
as you crawl into the
crucifixion of womb~
littered in transgressions,
paradoxes of daylight slanted
along the headstone of
our drawn blinds.

{I}

You look away as I
unhinge specks of dust
knawing from within hipbones
where your cheeks rest'd
in bruises of longing~
torn from evergreen promises
untether'd, fray'd by your sacrificial
tongue in ravening
swaying in the bowls of time
in this cross-nailed hourglass
of my loving
and hating you.

   ~

This was inspired by Shadoe's amazingly complex merging of love and darkness with subtle erotica notes in her ' He, The Aether' series, a must read

The Man from Portugal

I heard about this man from across the pond,
A Mr. Bond, (no not the British secret spy),
A poet posting powerful positive poems,
The kind of work that is rare to come by.

Every time I delve deep diving into a piece,
I often wonder what path in life he’s tread,
The journey that leads to finding peace,
Amidst whispers of beautiful garden beds.

And Mr. Bond continues to work hard and toil,
Stopping to spill some profound thoughtful ink,
Going back and forth from paper to pen and soil,
As if the earth gives him power to make us think.

So the next time you come across one of his poems,
Read slowly and you’ll find them emotionally mixing,
The Man from Portugal will make you feel at home,
When the words are reflective and uplifting.

a blackwolf ringing my door bell

There is a blackwolf ringing my door bell
Banging on my door and it wants in
Howling it revolutionAL howl
To rectify my mistakes and guide me to a better path
There's a blackwolf ringing my door bell
With fur as beautiful as a genus of flowering trees (Melia)
Forever showering me with the sweetest of compliments
There's a blackwolf ringing my door bell
It comes running and running me down
Chasing me down the stream of juvenile 66 butterflies
Chasing me into a poetic tragedy
With words so shakespear-sweet
Sending me into Ely down the cambridgeshire
There's a blackwolf ringing my door bell

Hands that yell

Her spirit golden,
She sprinkles twinkling words
Like faerie dust

Words that impact
Like nuclear bombs
Proving that even mushroom clouds
Can hide a shimmering lining

Hands that yell_oh
Always just so
Soundlessly
Profoundly


Yelluw_always

A great inspiration.
