The ocean's soft breath ripples
Across a lucid surface
An ache limitless below
Each fathom reverberating
An endless heartbeat
Echoing in the ambience of the universe
Heard as the waves continuously tumble down
Without any whisper of reprieve

The scars you don't see
Worn proud beneath peaches and cream skin
Wind a crooked path
Weaving each past sordid tale
Reaching to my extremities and back
Coursing along my spine
Zigzagging through my ribs
They are the embellishments
Adding beauty marks of distinction
Some may envisage grotesque
Strangling my heart
I see them as grandiose
Enhancing the scenery
Leading me ever homeward

#inkling
No skerrick of idea
Or inkling of thought
Passed by her perception
Lost within inward mindless chatter
An idyllic world of flowing words
Her classical jargon mayhem
Beautiful misfits
Birthing poetry
Rhythmic cadence
Swirling verse

Written especially for my friend's grade two class when i visited as a poet and published author.
One youngster had mentioned that they could name their own book of poems 'Rainbow Through The Sunshine' and that is where the inspiration came from

Eyes that seek and listen too
Minds busy pondering
Maths and english rules
All gleeful in their grade two room
Each child happy to take their turn
Raising hands witn earnest answers
All twenty four with different guesses
Surely brings a Mrs Keightley grin
Daydreams wait outside the door
Whilst inside gold stars ride merrily on turtle backs
And spelling words dance haphazard
Across the window panes
Artist's drawings and smiling faces
Precious tokens for the treasure trove
Taken home in little hands
Finding pride of place on the kitchen fridge
Blast that scorching summer heat
Yay the school bell rings
Ring a ding ding
The day may end and tomorrow will dawn
Who knew happy hearts
Could bring pretty rainbows
Shining through the brilliant sunshine

#captivated
Though they all stood beautiful in the flowerbed
Captivated by the beauty and scent of the red rose
None should feel less
Of their entire worth
Their apparent differences
Is what sets them uniquely apart
Not divided by their colour, perfume or stature
And so as sisters they keep the rose's secret
Till the unsuspecting pick her first
All knowing that the prettiest flower in the garden
Is not always the most beautiful

Kiss me soft like the ocean does the shore
Slow with the evening tide
Washing over my entirety
Embracing me wholly and completely
Without hesitation, over and over
Touching deeply within my soul
Leaving me breathless
Wanting always more
Sand between my toes
The moon and stars left blushing

#grief
Just like the sun, the moon
And all the stars
I am with you always
No need to grieve my absence
I rest in your thoughts
My scent on your skin
Love at home
In both of our hearts
~ Josie A Kerr -
I sealed my heart with butterfly kisses
Closing the door to infinity
But you ignited an eternal flame
The day your eyes found mine
Fierce intensity scorching my skin
Stealing my love away
Under the guise of a heavy smoke haze
~ Josie A Kerr

Spent my time
In a coceptual abyss
Stretched my mind
To fathom what "is"
And what do I find
It's all about consciousness
Cause at the end of the line
No reality exists
At any space or time
Until we experience it
©john_solomon -
those were not the tears
from my eyes, drenching
my collar, that broke me.
instead, the ones that flowed
from my heart, drenching
my soul, broke me totally.
©iammusaafiir -
Beneath the surface is where i am,
That only few have seen
The depth that i will go to,
The bottom I have been.
And the only thing that keeps me afloat,
With consistent enthusiasm.
Is the eternal Grace and Love from God,
That many cannot fathom.

An inkling of lust
can start a burning desire
that can destroy us.

Has any man of age greater than youth,
Come so far,
Learnt so much,
Given his all,
Fallen so many times,
Gotten back up, to try again...
And yet still,
Seeks his own worth,
From the validation of others ?
