Unforgettable

 💘

Frost Bitten

 With my mind in a prison

With perception clouding my vision

I looked, but failed to see.

Though presented with precision

The message, I could not envision

It was double-dutch to me.

Bait

 Are these ridiculous claims familiar to you? Do they raise a sense of Déjà vu?

 15 Years Of Versing ... 680 Poems

15 years ago, I wrote my first poem. 

15 years on, with 680 poems on varied topics and a world-wide audience, I celebrate joyously.

In all humility, I thank the Untampered-With Sacred Divine Source for providing the resources to make the impossible, possible.

Thank you Cuz Joao! your contribution in making my poems known across Continents, is priceless.

Thank you! friends, associates, acquaintances and family, your acknowledgement of my efforts has shored up my confidence.

Intricate

My right hand shakes when BP’s high,

Plus, I've no vision in one of my eyes,

These limitations contribute to the resulting shapes,

That from imperfections arise.

Stand Your Ground

The Safer Option

 

Is Silence The Safer Option Or A Cowardly One?

This poem essays the dilemma faced by the protagonist when they come face-to-face with the acts of weaponized cruelty and bias crime.
They have been brought up in a faith that encourages speaking out against injustice.
If the protagonist takes a stand against the above, they know that there is the possibility of trouble for themselves, their lives changing drastically.
The protagonist is anxious and fearful and questions if they will be protected by their God if they follow the path set out by Him.
If they choose the path of silence, will they be acting out of cowardice?
