heartbeats for
You, others, people
redundantly
over and over
again and again
sometimes to a slow
crawl
right before
beating me up
for hearts beat
for with intent
beaten
never was a fan
racing drums
beating thrums
only the method
comes with meditation
methodically
moved, moving
with barely a
breath in between
delighted to nap
myself into a heart
stopping, stop

Deliverance
For a long while – for decades – it was Home.
Not only in the reverent routine of Sunday mornings.
Also in the musical camaraderie
of Tuesday evening jam sessions,
the Wednesday ladies’ earnest search for wisdom
over strong coffee and butter tarts,
the youthful commotion of Friday nights.
It became a refuge especially in
the quiet solitude of a random weekday.
Just me, the piano, and Peace –
a sanctuary that stood in stark contrast
to the inner tension of my performance as
“good Christian woman”. ...

Severed
It’s a new day, so my heart rises like the sun
It’s another moment of peace, before the yearning
Now, clouds have covered morning light
Just as you invade the crevices of my psyche
Shall I turn away? Shall I close the blinds?
I’m blinded by the rays that pierce the lace lined curtains… ruby red, like my lips you’ve come to know
I am swept away when your skin touches mine
I am the lost treasure of the sea, before it sinks
And I am indeed falling
Drowning in your arms
And begging to breathe
I thought it was the air from your...

Burden
I just want freedom
From a place on the finest of lines
The scenario of irrational explanations
For every fucked up situation
Since I was born, these memories significantly
Impacted me tremendously
My peers have seemed to “unintentionally” mess with me mentally
But why am I I the only one who can see?

Acceptance, please
Because I could never ask you to wait
I let our love go astray
I tried to make it work any other way
I gave it all so that you could stay
But because I could never ask you to wait
It began to hurt the longer you stayed
Things weren’t the same, and we couldn’t make it work that way, nothing to explain
Silence and distance became familiar
The last time we truly talked was September
But doesn’t mean I won’t always remember
The nights and days, we grew and we withered
I only miss her, wondering how we differ
Or if because we couldn’t...

Goodbye and Farewell
I want to post my last little rambling
My goodbye to a beautiful community,
Thank you for helping me grow and flourish,
My words flow more easily now
and my mind is a little calmer,
and I appreciate the beauty in a thought , a moment, a poem,
I found a new home over at AP
I kept my name my photo, I don't want to fade
And I shall look for all my favorites there
those of you who are so generous with sharing your talents and thoughts
So its not a hard goodbye
Just an adios, see you later alligator
Muah! all you beautiful poets XXX

Sixty two years ago
At the height of the colonial crisis
there are broken lands under lethal tension.
Political instability, endless conflicts.
Nations in turmoil, seek what is to come.
Organizations rise up as a voice of reason...
Fragile hope in a divided world.
While openness germinates on the streets,
promises of change in an era that is ending.
Cinemas project stories, realities flow,
dictators build worlds that set us on fire.
Films delve into their dark shadows,
in logical expressionism the aesthetics nestle.

Mourning & moving on but DUP is the best!
Update April 4:
With DUP closing, I will be moving the majority of my poetry sharing to Hello Poetry as rubyredheart. I will also maintain a profile as rubyredheart on StarsRite to stay connected with the DUP folk who have moved there and for making occasional posts.
https://hellopoetry.com/rubyredheart/

I already miss DUP! Especially since finding now how irreplaceable it is! Thanks all for the great community you’ve been here!

Your City
Do you like your city?
Is it pretty
or is it shitty
Does it make you elate
or irate
Are there great places to go
or just too much snow
Do you love it day to day
or do you want to run away
Are there fun things to do
or is it so boring you want to boo
Does it inspire you
or tire you
Do you feel lucky
or what the fucky
Would you want to move
or are you in the groove
Would you say move here
or stay away, dear
I really want to know

Time Passing Through
Can't the future just wait?
Can't we pass the obstacles we await?
Could we fool and dodge fate?
They say the future is happy and bright.
But I can't help but worry at night.
Life is like an endless fight.
You fight to live and survive.
Or just sleep peacefully through the night.
Which one you get is not under your control.
We just want to savour the moment.
And not let the bad thoughts of the future take toll.
When you suddenly see the red lights.
When you went through all the struggles and fights.
