MIDDAY POETRY – ‘Magic Potion’

stubborn feeling
persistent emotion
needing healing
from a magic potion

stir the pot
mix it up
while its hot
pour in a cup

warm and smooth
steaming liquid
comes to soothe
breath restricted

find body balance
forget those many pills
on the bed or valance
only self love heals our ills

MIDNIGHT POETRY – ‘Little Voice’

deeper truth
hard to surface
bubbling away
boiled over

nervous tic
holds the tongue
transmitter of sound
paralyzed

quietly comes
in the middle
of the night
revelation

story untold
missing pieces
undisclosed
in secrets

raised voice
inside the mind
screams
silently

mouth unmoved
head in inferno
burning down
old bridges

now it is time
to say out loud
words unspoken
indefinitely

beep beep

MIDDAY POETRY – ‘Cushy Diet’

could it be called finicky
choosing food that has no face
frying bugs for lunch
saving the bum of human race

ice cubes on a plate
the vegan special best of all
zero fat and zilch of sugar
plus low cholesterol

wash it down with soda water
full of bubbles large and small
satiety in the belly
can it last from spring to fall

feed for livestock toasted oats
rainforests on the brink
those above in cushy seats
have no brain to think

MIDNIGHT POETRY – ‘Encounter’

on a palette
of the painter
red tint

when the answer is
nothing!
there is the hint

words can harm
and other heal

what cannot be said
in the throat we seal

thick skin as a rhino
back with no spine

time smooths out all shards
broken glass only a sign

emotions running wild
smashed into thick spread

the outside encounter
still lives in the head
