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 – ‘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

MIDDAY POETRY – ‘Jelly Beings’

constant movement
in the belly
butterflies on the rise

sitting around
doing not much
avoiding exercise

youtube addicted
seldom watching telly
ignorant or wise

a tall order
to be merry
with tears in the eyes

becoming too much
of a jelly
to stop would be wise

MIDNIGHT POETRY – ‘Greatness’

A strike of greatness
Buzzing in the ears
Who can say
They have no fears

The first one will get the worm
And the last one likely the will
Where there is persistence
Mental chatter is overkill

Study and work hard
The boss will pay you well
They have grease on their elbows
And the soul to sell

Time will come
When all is healed
Even vanity
Will disappear

In tears of joy
High with the birds
Ecstatic dance
Lost for words

Soaring
