We’re All Riding That Wave

alone and battered
mastering unknown forces
a chaotic dance

Reality Is A Way Of Life

being in this physical realm
trying to achieve an extraordinary existence
not only to survive, but to thrive, and hopefully enjoy

yet what happens when nature dictates the next steps
how do we move forward
how do we address the necessary
and remain sane

these external forces unsettle us, can even unhinge us
consciousness, intellect, and reasonable emotions
grant us the ability to improve our situations
gaining knowledge is our sword to defeat that which can harm us
as we decide how to best cope with the onslaught

living is not an easy task
be aware and have courage
right the wrongs
protect the innocents among us

enjoin your community to protect the whole
and always…
love, love, love, and love some more

Floating

Redux

gliding seamlessly, easily
no pressure, push or pull
sliding towards no destination
peace and tranquility surrounds
life at a standstill in motion
taking it all in
endless end of purpose
goals drift away
pleasure and calm
sighs and comfort
easily gliding seamlessly

existence doesn’t guarantee answers

many strive hard
all of their days

many don’t
and waste away

the journeys we take
are varied and unique

just as we are

to live is to die
an existential creature
dying to be here

Diametrically opposed, in every sense of the word, is where I find myself with these two pieces, but they do a great job of highlighting the good and the bad of existing. The expression versus the silence. But it’s not only the good and bad which surround us as writers but what inspires us all as humans, what drives us to express or not. The topics we discuss and the context ranges from every corner of being and encompasses every facet of living as well as what we dare and don’t dare to bring to the surface.

PoetPerfect by Yaskhan

Dear Poets, Writers 
 
Dedicated to you all 
 
You are the indigo riding my mind 
The purple wisdom in my bosom 
The logic that becomes my instinct 
The instinct that pulls my gut 
Your priceless ink shapes emerald words 
Like blooms woven in the white of paper 
You are 
The calming in the wild beating of my heart 
Adrenaline pulsing my blood stream 
The dreams behind my eyelids 
The taste of music on my lips as I sing 
The songs that still the rising chaos of a thousand pleas 
My wired mind magnetized by the sage brilliance  
That nourishes the trust 
 
You perfect the poetry  
You become the poetry 
The PoetPerfect. 

somnus (rem) by Tony Single and Tetiana Aleksina

eyes taped to the sky 
spin around a world of rue 
the silence that hems 

Lofty

they say only angels live high above
circling freely above us
gazing down on humanity

i wonder how to rise to this place
where mere men couldn’t touch me
and only the ethereal embrace me

to be free from pain
to float only in comfort
perhaps wings would look good on me

A Flamboyance

with un-understood interestingness
these birds strut about gaggle-like
just being beautiful

Still

the view unmoving
nature in homoestasis
humans are in awe
