No Ordinary Daisy
The daisy lay tattered
Among blades of grass taller than she
Her petals wilted and worn
Seemingly destroyed
Yet, she lay as if placed gently
The sun, perplexed
Gazed upon the daisy
Her stem curled
Her petals worn thin, nearly translucent
A few plucked from her body
Lay scattered nearby
The grass, imprinted with tiny hollows
Snaked away from the tiny daisy
The sun, with a full schedule
Had to get on with the business of illuminating the world
She made mental note to keep...

Out of the Vortex
It starts somewhere over the horizon, the notion is gathering energy and speed, the
sound of motion is rising from the silence, drawing strength inward along with

Summer's Treausre
Summer comes fast, heat radiating outwards into the bright day,
It's as if the people glow, their auras gleaming in this sun-drenched sway.
The liberating feel of diving into cool waters during the scorching summer's heat,
And the sun, a warm yet unobtrusive ray,
while happy children confidently at play.
The day’s adventure, skies open wide,
Each step wrapped in love’s soft tide.
A gentle breeze, the grass lush and soft,
With laughter and voices rising aloft. ...

Not a cloud in the sky.
This will be my last post on DUP .
The writers on this site are brilliant and prolific ,so much so that instead of writing I'm spending too much time reading .I need to return to my books.There is a fascinating variety of contributors here and without knowing each one personally, I think all feel compelled to write to help free themselves from suffering.
So for all those who have suffered please enjoy this piece from Rumi....one of my faves.

I'm Caught in a Whirlwind
Im caught in a whirlwind, confusion inside,
These thoughts in my head, it’s a tumultuous ride.
I’m lost in illusions, the chaos I find,
It’s messing with me, playing tricks on my mind.
Been pushed to edge, sometimes I feel I may fall, but they don't know my strength
I’ll stand tall through it all.
Locked away in madness, feel the pressure it rise.
I’m breaking out now, the world’s in for a surprise, back in the books with a pen as my bride , with a hunger in chest, and burning inside
Looking for my path; I’m...

Daddy Issues
Go ahead,cry,little girl.
Nobody does it like you do.
When you feel the pain come through.
I knew how much it matters to you.
I'll hold your hand.
Hold you close and do my best to defend.
Cry,the tears that come out like a faucet.
I know what you went through.
Cry ,the tears that turn blood red.
From the pain you went through.
I'll brush away your tears.
And scare away your fears.
I'll hold you nice and warm.
So you don't have to cry.
I'll give you hot chocolate,with flavour you cannot deny.

The Vanguard
The thing I love most about writing Poetry is that
...it makes me feel Human
There's something so....so...sooo
...Restorative about it
Akin to a grounding effect
....a safe space where all of my Barbed Wires
Can vibe in Peace and Purity
...almost like a Seance
Of sorts...
......where a streamline of Dreamed Affirmations
Morph into Bonafide Confirmations...
And then...ahhhh...and then
Let's...

In The Spirit Of Autumn
Ah, quiet autumn ! you stole from spring its breeze, its flat vibration, the feelings of ease,
and the warm souvenirs.A happy twitter larks joyfully over the hill, scents of the fall,
moments heavenly still, o'er the tip of a flowing quill.Your music waltz like a lullaby
with every leaf, gives a warm fusion with the foliage scattered, on and beside the empty streets.
Time breaks free again, its name never defines a season's reign, as the mist is fairly mild, softly thick, while, to the fine soul and the whole spirit, its the mystical truth of the human and his...

THOSE WHO ARE SENT TO YOU
It's me again the story teller of words ✍️ They the elders say that no one is sent to you by chance or accident. 🤔 For sure some are there for you to learn to think, about some of the decisions that you have made, during the cycle of your life, whether good or bad. 😞 Yet there are those who came into your life with good intentions of the heart ❤️ that they saw within you a kindred spirit of raw and uncut real emotions and feelings. Yet some came into your life with wrong intentions, to break the deepness of your own heart and spirit for there own...

N.I.C.E. Guys Do Finish Last
Since we're bastardizing words
Thru the warped lens of revisionist history
Allow me to throw my entry into the
Reimagined Social Contract
^^^^^
Because I've made a conscious decision long ago to
Keep Love in my Heart and God in my Spirit
I did my Human best to stay close to my Original self
Learned how to forgive myself
Make an accord with my Deamons
And cultivate a true Love for what it is to be
...

Twin Suns Shine Brighter
Some folks speak poorly of those Ladies who "proclaim their acclaim" and "toot their own horns"
But why?!?
Are loud, brash, outspoken, and challenging women a bad thing?
Are they trying to run Shit?
Or is this gorgeous "rah-rah girl" simply in search of her equal or slight superior?
Is she a problem?
Or is she Top Shelf?
Is she over the top wit it?
Or just a woman who knows and proclaims her worth while seeking that one who matches her best?
Matches her energy, her freak,...
