INKling No3 – patience
‘tis not so much
a disembodied waiting
should fill the heart
while precious time’s abating
transcribe the blank
with golden pen
for moments lost
live not again
look past your pain
with penitence
patience knows naught
of insolence
let virtue from forbearance flow
only the wise learn thus to grow

Tomorrow's Dreams
The whispered voice of yesterday
can wake tomorrow's dreams
Since all it takes is one true heart
who truly will believe
For nothing is impossible
with faith inside your heart
And inner strength through peacefulness
is one place you should start
Though hearts are where the dreams may live
their born within the mind
To follow them would bring us all
to a better place in time
Though some think dreams are foolish
they fail to see the light
My own beliefs are clear to see
as day is from the night
...

Life ( String of Tanka)
Live for a reason
Discover your life's purpose
Bring meaning to life
You do not merely exist
You're part of His grand design
Your life is precious
Every beating of your heart
Every breath you take
Is a gift, a testament
Of His steadfast love for you
Don't give in to pain
Don't fall to life's trickery
Some are illusions
That keep you from finding
Your purpose for living
Life is not perfect
It's not a bed of roses
Of your dreams and fantasies
It is full of thorns that draws

And Thus They Must Go
I am the past and they are tomorrow,
I am the east therefore they are my west,
I am the yesterday fading away,
For they are the morning to my sunset.
They are the arrows and I am the bow,
And so they go from me, forward and forth,
Launched into the future with projection,
To a time and a place I call True North.
They are a part but don’t belong to me,
A present bestowed upon me and so,
As time goes by they move going onward,
Tomorrow awaits and thus they must go.
They’ll be renewed over and over again,
Working on...

Sexy Sandra
Sexy Sandra, she's so sweet,
Well built too and rather neat.
There she stands, unspoilt and slender,
She's making waves but please remember...
Sexy Sandra will turn you on!
Even though she doesn't know,
She's turning heads wherever she goes.
Sandra's so seductive too,
And may well have her eye on you.
You get me horny, that much is true!
What ya doing tonight then hun,
Fancy a stroll in the evening sun?
Mmm, you can give me what I need,
Desire and passion that's guaranteed.

freshly broken
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite
heart, O God, Thou wilt not despise. Ps 51:17 KJV
in spite of thorns, plucked roses bow their heads
and slowly weep, knowing they’re already dead.
in company, they constitute a token
that bears the pain of flowers freshly broken.
a virgin clasps red roses sweetly sent
by wide-eyed suitors, swept by sly intent.
she bears no thorns, when passions are awoken:
behold! she weeps, a maiden freshly broken!
a horse without a saddle, wild and free, ...

Terpsichore for The Lite of Life
The droppings of minor vices left'over from No Time At All
into the holy toilet like not so sweet dreamettes. Products
of our best anusy assholes, attempting
to fill wholly voids so beyond folks' comprehension.
Tires balded by hard roads and long rides, piled high
wit retro-fitted amnesia as to where they've been,
brings one to some revelation brings one to some revelation
revealing moments of intense regret of all that is typically human,
moments of intense regret

Tides Change
In the blink of an eye they can be gone
Then we're left here trying to carry on
Storms will come & storms will go
We all have a finale to our show
We must evolve & grow with each episode
Instead of being timid, gotta be proud & bold
You may fold but don't ever quit the game
When feeling low there's much more to gain
Your pain can expose things that you didn't see
Mines helped me find this thing called poetry
I was knocked to my knees when my Granny died
Now these stanza lines help me continue to ride ...

Anticipation
Busy as the bumbly bees
perusing one flower to next
bemusing their pollen text
we forage stor-ies with ease
crumb after crumb from
table-clothed bound tomes
for hilly ground home's
storage before autumn
weather turns chilly;
hive alive in catacombs
as more paper plates are
passed around right to left
( never willy-nilly ) by author
speaking wildly with hands
while talking, mouth full
to our delectable delight
perusing one flower to next
bemusing their pollen text
we forage stor-ies with ease
crumb after crumb from
table-clothed bound tomes
for hilly ground home's
storage before autumn
weather turns chilly;
hive alive in catacombs
as more paper plates are
passed around right to left
( never willy-nilly ) by author

Finally Free
Finally Free
The darkness has lifted, a curse now broken,
words I’m glad can now be spoken.
I’ve lost so much along the way.
A heavy price for a single person to pay,
but the sun has finally risen to usher in a new day,
no longer is my life in a constant state of fray.
This is a major win, all will agree.
From the hell of years of depression, I’m finally free.
Being deep, deep in denial, chaos controlled my thoughts.
A slave to darkness allowed my heart to rot.
When I closed my eyes at night all I dreamt of was pain. ...

nature cascade
Seen how pleasant is the weather?
Sun with cloud and breeze together,
Gently faintly painting skies
All in coloured pastel dyes,
Its this nature that we love
At times nice and at times rough,
Which sculptures all around
Thus defining the surround,
Living things with living shades
Up to down it all cascades.
Sun with cloud and breeze together,
Gently faintly painting skies
All in coloured pastel dyes,
Its this nature that we love
At times nice and at times rough,
Which sculptures all around
Thus defining the surround,
Living things with living shades
Up to down it all cascades.
