It is the bedrock upon which the majestic edifice of healthy relationships, harmonious communities, and a just society stands. To recognize the inherent worth of every soul and to treat them with the tender consideration and courtesy they deserve is to participat...

I had a bracelet with two beads one fell in the sea,

it was a lake actually,

the others in London,

somewhere in the city,

they're probably being kicked about,

it's probably stuck in between the ridges on the sole of a shoe.

Attention

Hey! Before you read this experimental piece of poetry, just know that it gets a bit gruesome.




"I'm scared"



Oh your accsimus is admirably and skillfully placed

in our mirthfully light conversation so sagely laced

with the placid humility unabashedly displayed in that scintillating twinkle in your eye

with which I

Am reminded of fluffy white seals born newly,

and of their puffy soft breaths ...

Twisted Between Love And Hate

You got me twisted between love and hate,

What lesson lies in this cruel twist of fate?

Is it to let go, release the threads of my heart?

Yet Iā€™ve let go of so much, seen dreams depart.

It feels unjust to lose what my soul does crave,

When I know, with you, lifeā€™s so vibrant, so brave.


I longed for you, my heartā€™s deepest desire,

Now, here I am, writing silly poems, a scribe on fire. ...

Culinary Canvas

Sizzling pans and bubbling pots,

A symphony of flavors, aromas waft.

Crisp vegetables, tender meats,

Herbs and spices, nature's treats.


Golden crusts on fresh-baked bread,

Steaming soups to chase the dread.

Sweet desserts, a perfect end,

Comfort found in what we've penned.

In every dish, a story used.

Nourishment for body, soul,

Food connects us, makes us whole....

Celestial Purple

Beneath the canopy of the sapphire heavens, where twilightā€™s velvet fingers entwine with the horizonā€™s golden embrace, there lies a realm resplendent in natureā€™s most opulent hues. Here, the perfumed zephyrs whisper secrets of yore, their breath a tantalizing blend of jasmine and lilac, an elixir to the weary soul.


The argent moon, a celestial gem ensconced in the inky abyss, casts its argent gaz...

Rain

Feel the dampness of the rain

Cozy rain

How it placates the spirits and assuages all pain


Hear it drizzle drizzle drizzle in the penetrating wind

Underneath the weeping trees

As the sleeping willow bleeds

Onto soft and supple skin


Watch it fall, fall, fall down the terracotta wall

Hear the melancholy ballad as the angels start to bawl


Smell the petrichor aroma that will always remain

From the...

Karmen

Her bright red coat covered her long beautiful body. It swayed equally with the slow and steady wind. Confidence radiating smoothly off her like the beams of color. Into the yellow cab she went leaving behind a trace of velvet flowers.

The Meadow

Whispering green pines

In the lush, serene meadow

With the water ever so fine

Sitting here with my best fellow


Pondering the vastness of time

Looking at the beauty of the scene

Will you forever be mine

Things are not what they seem...
