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

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 – ‘Defined Time’

static noise
on the line
tells me
all is fine

jittery
on edge
coffee
smells divine

beads of color
precious gift
love shared
on a line

life purpose
full of
guided steps
taken by design

for some
its kids
for some its
glass of wine

there is no
right or wrong
a way that is
defined

oneness in
solitude
the life story
of mine

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
