The inscription on the blade shone silvery.

"Justice," the maid read. "Are you an enchanted butterknife?"

"Yes."

She almost dropped it. "You are?"

"For centuries, none who held me sought justice. I took this form to hide."

It grew in her hand.

She hefted the sword. "Hm. Not sure you can help."

Portals of Awakening What means more to me? Likes— or liking my own poems? "Your attitude is extremely hot today" -Costar 'cause numbers don't mean shit to us 0 & 1 just as gorgeous as 2000 gotta be sharper than that to admire our brilliance right in front of you before we blip touch us while u can Our coffee's gone cold watching from the dilapidated factory within a snowglobe wherein mica flakes wisp by in viscous glycol country grass blown by crisp chilled air and as it bends you see the golden stems yet between the gusts all seen is mauve tuft And She is there too, our Star Queen in me, in you, in we, no matter which religion you align for She is the truth our illuminary a coalmine canary an eternal cassowary Even poured upon the screen resides unseen yet not unspoken

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

Flowing water pools with gravity
Towards the lowest point in space
To gather, rise, then overfill
Spilling over, out, & down
Until the liquid submerges
The highest point completely
Or the flow is cut short

There are lessons in gravity
That require no physics;
Be that flow, rise & overfill

#poetry #emoetry #ferocity

Star's collapse predicted
It burned with such ferocity
That quickly brightening star
For everyone, was plain to see
A strange light from afar
Heralded a time of woe
For everything here died
In supernova's crushing blow
Which left no place to hide
Earth's doom, inflicted

I only had a few decades to know him In that time, he raised me up to be A person of moral quality, someone Who stands up for the oppressed He taught me to seek wisdom Wherever it may be found Imparted a sense of duty to self & others, to share my burdens Or to listen to another's troubles So that all loads may be lighter He passed on his love of words I sculpt them now, as he did then So others may feel his warm hug The way I remember it to be

Father's Embrace

#poetry #emoetry #rapture

They came for the rapture
Of humanity, out of misery
Heralding angels sing a song
That steals all penitent breath

Then stayed for the capture
Of cruelty, now plain to see
Spectral horseman will ride on
To Pestilence, War, Famine, Death

#poetry #mpprompt #elegy

Cry for their cost
An elegy of saddened senses
To eulogize the somber
When deathly sorrow's tenses
Meet the present candor

We grieve for the lost
While everything in order
Or all the stuff in time
Is defined by its border
Divided by these lines:

Dead or Alive

#poetry #emoetry #passionate

Flowers flow from Aphrodite's lips
With honeyed words of desirous silk
Eyes an aesthetic gaze can't slip
For the beauty inside even fouler ilk
Is plain to her, she understands both
Romance & attraction, love doth
Find in her, a constant state of passionate action

#poetry #mpprompt

That all falls to rust
An oxidation layer laid
Which I claim as my own
In crumbled metal to dust
Of fractal flowers, arranged
So tarnished by aether
It suits me like armor
That all falls to rust

Last Christmas Ich gave thee myne hearte
But the verye next daye ther came a wolf,
Wyth sinews of whispers - quiet as frost -
And the wolf stole myne hearte, fled
To a tower out of tyme biyonde all the stars.
Seek now myne hearte,
Return it within a yeare and a daye:
Thys ys thy queste

Nightmare Before Christmas' Oogie Boogie's shadow on the moon

That's right, time for the arrival of the Big Guy himself!

Fierce!

Me on Monday

Making men nervous in the grocery store! 😂

I didn't get it until JUST now!

I didn’t write this poem for
people that have
abandoned me
or that have shamed
me
or even that have used and abused me-
I write this poem for those
like me,
still lingering in the shadows,
still wondering if it’s ok,
still thinking it’s their fault-
this poem is for them

Thank you!

Fog cast on ancient streets
Gaslit lamps modernity rising
Reach for your morning star voice
Sing for your rights in the face of delusion
Love beats its heart for all in nuanced color
Those who say not are know only sorrow
Ignorance is a path into dust

Harsh Truths So stressed about running out of time, but ultimately when we do, it doesn't matter It's never too late to start over, so long as we're alive there's always a tomorrow Chasing our dreams will keep us youthful, set for infinity, we'll never achieve them all

Harsh Truths
