words left unsaid

child, happy, love, music, peace, sweet,
He sits
Softly Humming
And seems to have no cares,
Playing peacefully with his toys
For hours.
He sings
Words that seem to stem from his heart.
Words that have no meaning,
Yet sweet they be;
To me.

Every ounce of love you give me
Knowing it shall soon end
Shall it last me
No chance

depression,
Empty
like bottled air
clinging to nothing real,
except to slippery inside walls
of space
Empty
like heart chamber
holding on to first love
bouncing back and forth, side to side
then gone
Empty
like nerve feeling
continued ceaseless pain
until all feeling is dissolved
or cold

He left
That night locking
Her away with a kiss;
Her soul captured by his spirit,
She stayed.
She waits -
For the spirit
To light her pitch-black days;
To breathe into her missing nights;
She’s still.

~Beautiful Moonlight~
(Cinquain)
I love
To watch the moon
With all the beautiful
Very enchanting stars that glow
At night
They bring
Much love, romance
And are much fun to watch
Spreading in all the hearts their love
Magic.

Feelings
May come and go
Some pretend them so well
Hiding theirs under the thick mask
Most of the time
They wear.
Conflicts
Are born,you hurt
People when you pretend
Love and feelings that you don't feel
Donning a mask
All time.
True self
Is never shown
Some choose not to do so
Believing's not important- Then
Love,kindness just
Gets lost.

poetry,
In abstract eyes
what is poetry,
but words weaved in
meter, verse and rhymes
to explain profound
vivid images
using metaphors,
or simple stanzas.
What our eyes capture,
what our mind thinks and
the moods of our heart.
Some inspired by the
moon, flowers or love,
politics and health,
showing and telling
in different styles
or freely flowing.
Using techniques like
alliteration,
syllable forms like
cinquain and choka
or an acrostic.
Poems will make us
laugh, cry or relate,
so let your ink bleed
to release your thoughts
in whatever way
your soul desires to
express without
ignorant judgement.

NOTE:AMERICAN CINQUAIN (an imagist stressed version)WAS DEVISED BY ADELAIDE CRAPSEY (William Soutar Epigrams are a similar wordplay form)
Tribute to William Soutar
Grew to manhood on the river Tay,
Writing poems ,most every day;
Cinquains,epigrams,whigmaleerie-
His diary of a dying man,left
Telling observations, for all to see.
A cinquain in Soutar style
Desire
welled within-
words became a promise
so sublime,to love now and for
all time.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I sat beside his hospital bed holding his hands: rough hands reflecting a soft heart and naked soul. They were plumber’s hands—masterpieces, artwork built of a lifetime of stoicism, patience, and undying love for his family and his profession. These were my father’s hands.
his hands
strong and callous
they were industrious
grasping, digging, fixing, caring
his tools
