Asphalt and Inheritance

 

cropped-cropped-lost-mind-michael-h.jpg

Why, why, why?

Is this time to be torn by the pattern woven by men?

Do lives creep silently to catch a breath just for a moment in a light that will never set upon them?

Hurling through concrete hoops to land on melted asphalt to be trapped by the creations they have made.

Can they complain?

Do they have a right?

They made it.

They were the forces that shoved it down the throats of others.

Helplessness has been rewarded with gloating over the fall of the mighty movers of all.

The meek and the earth,

They shall inherit.

But is the earth our home or heaven?

The meek of what shall inherit which?

Truth in the Unsaid.

The soul of a man,

Speaking always through words of life,

Truths are words unsaid.

Moments are Worth

Ron Overlook 2

There are delicate moments in time

They are fragile in their forming

And in their care

We carelessly disregard their existence

 

What happens when your moments are shattered

When they are taken and broken and battered

When you have none to even hold onto

When cracks are formed for them to escape through

 

We take our precious pieces for granted

Never giving them a second thought

We rely on them to be there

But one day an attempt to find might be for naught

 

Have I loved

Do I have friends

Do I have someone who loved me

Will they find me in the end

 

What if they don’t reach out

What if I continue to drift

I will never even know

What pieces I have missed

 

Moments are worth remembering if they are worth having

Take heed of what you do with them

For in a  split second of time

You just might lose . . .

Waves of Uninvited Sensation

Waves of icy fingers spread

Grasping for a hold

Slipping across the surface

Gone but returning twice cold

Waves flow undetected

Toward opalescent spheres

Through lightning flashes meander

And hysterical maniacal tears

Grasping with deflective talons

Not making the slightest defense

Staring into the nothingness

Losing all time and all sense

Waves of icy fingers spread

Spreading over the rippled mass

Holding onto the silent monsters

Shattering the quivering like warped glass

Hearts flare into Car-a-mel

Locked hearts ignite into flames

You are more than you are.

You may not know who you are

But you know who you’ve been

Never deny what you’ve become

Even if you consider your past a sin

 

What makes one search for love

What makes one search for peace

It’s the aching of the heart bone deep

That pain that seems to never cease

 

Shake the chains you have holding you down

Break them from your tender heart

Recognize them for what they are

They are your past, yes of you a part

 

Look at what you now see

No shackles holding you still

You’ve come this far so well

And you’ve done it by your own will

 

Some see you for your image

Longing for more than a touch

You’ve come not to know

You are worth beyond that so much

 

Taking one step each day

Reflecting on your deeds

Don’t dwell on your past

For you’ve other present needs

 

There is kindness in you that is noble

In every word and thought you share

Never doubt for a moment

That there is someone

In

This

World

To

Care

REWIND #5

The prompt words were Cold & Heat.

 

Thank you to each person that participated. I greatly enjoyed seeing the results. Reading them makes me want to push myself a little more in my own Haiku.

Cyril of Cyril Busierre : Cyril wrote a poem about me. No not really, but a very interesting contrast this week. Just go read it.

Florence T of Rambling On : Captures what so many of us go through. How she got a picture of my hands I will never know.

Hugh of  Hugh’s Views & News :

At last it happened,

In the hot flames of  Hades,

Hell has froze over.

Hugh wrote a poem, did it correctly, and it is great!

Silver Threading : I have to say that this was a wake me up poem. The imagery was excellent. I had to restrain myself from writing one back.

Faith Unlocked : One word–Dragons!

 

 

Each week it seems like the Haiku keep getting better. It shows that keeping at it does make for better work. The imagery is just getting so great. Silver Threading has me wanting to write love letters now. (sigh)

You got no Hook

You got no Hook

by Lost Mind Poet

loser.jpg

 

You’re stealing my patterns

You’re taking my rhymes

Boy you best be prayin’

Cause I be hearin’ them chimes

 

A common thief

A petty crook

You look to me

Cause you got no hook

 

Play on you silly boy

And you’ll find yourself hollow

Cause when I finish with you

You won’t have even one last follow

 

You didn’t think I would notice

Imitation is a compliment

I guess you about to learn

A difference to your astonishment

 

Take your burglary

Carry it to the max

I got originality

While your head needs ex lax

Embattled-Poetry for What you Need it to Mean

Embattled

by: Ronovan

You begin silent

Over the noise of the world’s moansWoman with Migraine

Cacophonous dins ring

 

Creeping into the dwelling

Like smoke through the crevices

You engulf all things

 

Confusion then starts

As the opposed forces clash

Battle is begun

 

The lightning afield

Covered melded defenses

Trembling in space

 

Furious fists

Pound the helpless whimpering

Hands force the pain back

 

The driving deepens

The anguishing to great heights

Flies into maniaWoman with Migraine

 

The darkening breaks

The shattered foes defenses

Hide insanity

 

You stand the victor

Over the assured defeat

Sight slips to the base

 

Your voice is not heard

As the sound falls to dead ears

Sleep comes to the lost

 

Until the next dawn

Breaks and the day is anew

Once again it comes

Electrocution of the Lost Mind

Electricity Tesla

Electrocution of the Lost Mind

 

Electricity split his skull, into a cobweb of blue and white.

His eyes glowed in their sockets, but all only visible to his inner sight

 

Everyone looked at him as if he were an invalid, mad, or  insane.

Their eyes held pity, but there actions spoke shouting into his brain.

 

His darkness crept around him, from inside to the out.

Then whenever his brain exploded, no one heard him shout.

 

Faintly prancing little feet dancing into his way.

Dainty little  jade green eyes saying more than anyone could say.

 

Reality would never stay in his land for long.

In truth if it did he would forever say it was wrong.

 

Peace and quiet were to far and fleeting gone.

If he ever thought to rest, his mind would slip out in a yawn.

Thoughts swirl without care

The days are long for me

The nights twice that

I attempt to never count

But without you it’s all that I have

 

No, please do not doubt

My love grows with each breath

I know I have your love

Not touching is what brings death

smoke_rose.jpg

My mind is filled with confusion

Thoughts swirling without care

I grab for them, desperate

Relief in my thoughts I am aware

 

Give just one moment, please

Just a touch of heated skin

In these you filled moments

For you I will always give in

 

There is no worry about me

This world cannot take me away

I will hold out until at least one moment

When we kiss that can be that day

Female Focus Friday: New blogs that I found this week.

Female Focus Fridays: Female Bloggers I Met This Week

 

Here are some people that we followed each other on Twitter and/or WordPress. They all have WordPress blogs and I follow them all. I me each one this week and wanted to share them with you. There are more I am sure but these are the most recent. This will become a regular Feature on Fridays. Enjoy!

 

Life With Rossye

“At first I had many ideas, plans for my blog. I wanted to write about everything: fashion, makeup, fitness, healthy eating, recipes…But I had no way or opportunity to write about these things. Because I am really obsessed living and eating healthy, I decided to write about that.”-From Rossye’s Post “What having a blog means to me“.

Y’all know I love young people, and I love to encourage. Definitely encourage this young lady by following her blog. She really seems to have the enthusiasm and desire.

 

Single Strides

“My story begins somewhere between “sweet dreams” and “happily ever afters.” I’m a hopeless romantic who wears her heart on her sleeve as my favorite accessory. I’ve been told it’s my biggest strength, and my biggest weakness. I believe in love so fiercely that sometimes I force it more in my head than in my heart. So follow me along my single journey – whether personal or international. Now I am just a girl out looking for love and adventure. A girl who likes peppermint coffees, rainy days, rooftop bars and good reads. A girl who realized her strength only after being broken. Ready to take on the world with me?”-From Sonya’s About page.

I like the attitude and spirit of this blog, the person behind it. The story of course hits me close with the hear to n the sleeve.

 

Natacha Guyot-Science Fiction. transmedia & Fandom

Natacha Guyot is a French independent researcher, writer and public speaker. She holds two Master’s degrees: Film and Media Studies (Paris III Sorbonne Nouvelle) and Digital Culture and Technology (King’s College London).

What will you find on this blog?

  • Discussions: Science Fiction, Feminism, Diversity, Children Media, Online Communities, Transmedia.
  • Reviews: Books, Movies, TV shows, video games.
  • Status Reports: Bits and pieces about her works in progress.
  • Fannish Content: Graphic and Vidding creations.“-From Natacha’s About page.

I loved this site and person the moment I clicked. I like to follow a site that is different for me and science fiction is really something I haven’t found much of so far. I am really looking forward to this. And of course the intelligence of a blogger always hooks me in deep.

 

Alana Munro Author

Born and raised in Scotland, I acquired a Bachelor of Arts degree from an Edinburgh University before jumping head first into motherhood, and then moving to sunny Australia.

After five years upside down in Aussie land fighting dangerous spiders and facing off cyclones, my young family and I headed back to the relative calm of the frozen north. Although, I do wonder what I will do with myself.“-From Alana’s About page.

I have to add more here. There is just too much to to Alana and what she does to limit it to just a few blurbs. Go to her About page by clicking her name and just see. She even runs a writing community.

 

Olgan M-Just Olga

I’m a writer, translator (English-Spanish and vice versa) and a forensic psychiatrist. I was born in Barcelona and moved to the UK in 1992 to train in psychiatry. After a few years I decided to go back to full time education and completed a BA in American Literature at Sussex University (it included a year in Mount Holyoke College, Massachusetts, and a PhD on ‘the Films of David Mamet’. As I never tired studying I also did an MSc (Distance Learning) in Criminology and Criminal Justice (Leicester University). Now decided to try and focus on writing, translating and exploring interesting stuff.“-From Olga’s About page.

Fascinating! That is the word that came to mind when I first read Olga’s bio. Intelligence, talent, and a spirit all in one. Fascinating!

Wordless Haiku Decipher ChallengeI first want to thank DazzlingWhimsy for creating this badge for the challenge.

Meredith of Meredith’s Musings

Hugh of Hugh’s Views & News

Laughter pours Blue Skies
Old past memories refreshed
Crying pours Blue Skies

 

A confession is required. This was not the Wordless Haiku Decipher I had planned. But with the passing of Robin Williams this is what I created. The first and last lines could be reversed depending on where you are in the mourning of his passing. At this time I am trying to reverse them, as I am certain he would wish.

 Here are my words.

two_people_laughing.jpgsky.jpgpouring_wine_into_glass.jpg

 

 

 Laughter fills the air

As the memories return

sorrow_statue.jpgpouring_wine_into_glass.jpg

 

Sorrow fills the air

As you can see, the lines can be reversed as our sorrow slowly passes and the laughter and joy Mr. Williams brought to us once again takes over.

 

Much Appreciation to All who Participated

Ronovan
