MIDNIGHT POETRY -‘Transformation’

don’t get me wrong
i for one am strong
believer in the dogma
that prevails for long

that it’s ok to be woman
that it’s ok to be man
it’s ok to be human
since the life began

the consensus is that
we all should be glad
to be living together
loneliness is pretty sad

now saying that
look inside the hat
pull out the rabbit
make sure it is not a rat

the make up looks bit tragic
perform a piece of magic
stick with the old part
undertake a change of heart

let’s get this one straight
for a miracle is never late
the outcome might surprise
even the creator the great

MIDNIGHT POETRY – ‘Closer To Reach’

without much warning
in that moment
the sky has opened
clouds shed hardened tears
lit by the lightning
dogs lost their bark

darkness
mighty rumbling
sudden silence
peaceful and vast

the storm moves on
taking with it
the tin roof
hiking up the insurance

yet it is known
there is always
silver lining on each cloud
without the roof
the stars now shine

closer to reach

MIDDAY POETRY – ‘Tame’

in captivity
silent tears
grizzly bear
claws
the enclosure
slowly giving in

captivated
by the spirit
of a heroic
nature
now
tame

MIDDAY POETRY – ‘Belonging’

belonging to a like minded group
gives us a sense of purpose

stability under our feet

and an assurance
that our life choices
are acceptable
and ok

such a group provides
the environment
of safety

it is a backbone
of our life structure
the proof that
we belong
here
