Lisp

Never hesitate
To say words which need saying,
Remember kindness
Edit the pain from verses
Leave portions of blame submerged.
Be a vessel with
Love overflowing to share
Positives which can
Unmake histories of dark
Shadow introducing light.
Decant the music
Noun and verb present sentence
Tense making merry
Encouraging, delighting,
Set straight, inspiring, writing
While knowing what is
Can work out all the showing
Instead of hidden
In the cave depths, the meadow
Displays drama past the stage.

This poem is conjoined Tanka, which I find enjoyable.

Forms in Expression

Those of you who knew I was following prompts earlier this month may wonder what happened. Often I try to pursue things, and my creativity goes, “Aw Nah, this is not doable. Pick another design.” So I am set back on my own devices. My originality does not like to conform. So, there you go if you had a thought about it.

Today, I have little short forms.

1.
What tomorrow holds
Today can only guess, not know,
Each moment bestows
Its own opportunity
For those who choose to grasp it.

2.
Love may strike and steal
Hearts captured in a net of
Passion and desire.

3.
Voices whisper small
Secrets guarded by delight
As love takes today.

4.
Twilight ambles near
Relinquishing the sunlight
As shadows dance, play.

5.
The words unspoken
Almost slip smooth tasty
Off the tongue but
Instead are swallowed burning
Feeding hunger’s inferno.

6.
What we never ask
Always remains a question,
Gifts may fade away.

7.
Life is a palace
Filled with grandeur and delight,
But sometimes it hides
In the tedium of mundanity,
We invest in happiness.

Hold Control

There is no control
I can place to stop feelings,
I feel, when we speak,
What I want is transparent,
Yet it never fades away.
I belay my tongue
Short of saying how I feel,
Not trusting in me
Because the past did not go
According to my best plans.
Still, I harbor hope,
And believe love does exist
Even as I wait.

Little Love Poems

Never

It is not a chance
I will take because I doubt,
But I wish I could,
The love I carefully hide
I would give and make you mine.

Trusting

When we talk, I know,
You understand and are fair,
You care, and no one
Else respects me as you do,
I believe and trust in you.

Love Springs

The pollen drives me
Inside each time I go out,
I glance at the phone
Wishing it would break silence
Ring with you there, all for me.

Just a little playing loose and free with words. These are all tanka. As I often say there is no significant other in my life. I just make things up. I think that is what creativity was given us for.

Resolved

I have wanted more
Than this, I have that is mine
A long, lonely time,
But now I become content
With all, there is for me here.

The many blessings
I now view with clarity
I am safely homed
With multitudes that bring joy,
Even alone there is love.

I thought acceptance
Was necessary to joy,
But now I am found
Content to be here, alive,
To navigate survival.

I have no rival
In this gentle full quiet;
Only grapple with
My yesterday’s self – competes,
“Be a better best, today.”

I am enough being love,
I have enough here gathered,
Life, LOVE, is reason enough.

This is another from the wee hours. When dark wraps around me, I turn to the light that is always present.
