A Butterfly EncounterI stroll through the forest
The sun shining down through the high canopy
The day was warm and lovely
The stroll was relaxing and calming
The shining sun warm on my skin

Soon I notice a batch of flowers nearby
Each of different colors and shapes
I walk over to them
I kneel down to view their beauty
Suddenly I see something flutter among the flowers

I look to see it was a monarch butterfly
It lands on a small yellow flower among the batch
It open and closes its wings so slowly and gently
My eyes widen with amazement

It stays on the flower for a minute
Then it flies off suddenly
I feel it on my forehead after that
I chuckle with excitement aA Butterfly Encounter50 minutes ago in Free Verse

Every raindropEvery raindrop has a cycle
rising into the sky to begin again
forming the mighty storms once more.

Rain is splashing down
like a gift from the Mother,
to the thirsty earth below.

Every raindrop has a cycle
rising into the sky to begin again
forming the mighty storms once more.

Rainbows arch the sky
as the rain clouds dissipate
rain returns to the water's source.

Every raindrop has a cycle
rising into the sky to begin again
forming the mighty storms once more.

Roll in the streams,
to the roaring rivers
tumbling into the mighty sea.

Every raindrop has a cycle
rising into the sky to begin again
forming the mighty storms once more.

SturdySturdy

An ode to the arbor
who towers over his peers
Outstretching his warm
autumn palette covered arms
catching rays of cosmic energy
A firm and reliable sentry
standing dutiful for many a century
recording history in partitioned rings
A perennial Alexandria
which Ptolemy would be proudSturdy5 hours ago in Free Verse

Immortal TearsAll around there is peace, but it is a peace so serious and sorrowful that none may rest easy. The world seems to stop; she stops and waits for what is to come. She waits for what she can feel is about to come.
The leaves have already fallen to the ground, but even if they still had been clinging to their branches not one of them would now be moving. Now they lay still on the ground. The world it seems is holding it’s breath; she holds her breath as she waits for what is coming.
Clouds had already covered the sun, but now everything grows darker. It all grows darker as though the sun were the eye of the world, and it had now closed it’s eye. The world closes it’s eye like a lady that feels a great sorrow.
A flash of lightning laces across the black clouds, searing the air with its violent anger. The lightning strikes the ground with a loud clap of thunder. The world shakes at the impact that she receives. She shudders as though the thunder were a great sob thatImmortal Tears6 hours ago in Free Verse

Sound of SilenceDo you listen to the sound of the rain?
As it amplifies that which silence cannot do itself.
Do you touch the feelings of serenity?
When it finally becomes tangible.
As the rain amplifies what little sanity
I have to this very day
Leading astray any worries
And washing them all away.

Listen to the rain
As it tells it’s story to you
Listen to it close
As it whispers where it’s been.
From a giant mountain you can only imagine
To the gentle rolling hills,
Listen to the silence.
Because it’s what the rain is trying to let you see through it to.

Nature is a window
To that which we cannot see.
Nature is the furnace

FireI like the smell of fire
The smell of my desire
Once it took over control
All you can do is watch
Destructive flames
Burning in hell
Raising me up
And bringing me down again
As the flames go out
And only ashes are left
You’ll find my soul deep down
Lost in desperationFire7 hours ago in Free Verse

SpringEvery tree unfurls
swollen heads on spindly necks;
every arm is full of newborns.
There are knives and cudgels
in the warm,
wet winds.
The only reliable
promise of spring
is that
it will
come again.Spring8 hours ago in Free Verse

RapeThere is something hideously clever
about watching television outside.
It is possibly the ultimate defiance.

Over there, rebels have flipped off officials,
they have fornicated with machines
and they have worn shirts like flags.

But here, revolutionaries have
ripped the binding dress off of mother earth
they have stuck their thirsty tongues
in the magnetic air of steel and wind
and they have swallowed the sovereign
waters of Calypso.

Gaia could not weep,
because her throat was plugged
by the sharp middle finger
of electric sockets and wires.Rape11 hours ago in Free Verse

Dignified When WetHey Clouds, floating in the sky,
Come close, drop rain,
Wet this ground that's so dry.

I see you there, so far above,
Think you're so dignified because we can't touch.
The holders of Life, nature's artist in the air,
Show me a thousand shapes before you disappear.

People often ask you to leave,
And give room for the Sun.
But I say Stay,
And share the skies with none.Dignified When Wet12 hours ago in Free Verse

I see your primitiveness,
and I see the past,
like looking up at the sky and seeing star light
from thousands of years ago.

When I look at you
I see the many ships that have braved you.

The sunlight catches their stems

Fat drops of rain fall down

LightningI'm tired of these storms and I'm tired of you creating them.
Rainy days are okay until you throw lightning at me.

find another sky,

Casual SundayI never know whether you're coming or going
Doesn't matter though, old friend
Your presence is always welcomed
We might not always get to talk,
Night might fall and I might miss you,
But I know you'll be there tomorrow like clock-work
Never bitter words are shared,
Only your enlightening and gentle grace,
Only your loving embraceCasual Sunday1 day ago in Free Verse

OwlsOwls steep over edges
gracing the night.
Falling calls hark
dark wonder and fright.
The heads swivel
with neck in sight.
Some sensing prey
unravel like kites.
In the sky their wingspan
roars in height.
Any onlooker in awe
may tremble so tight.
The Owl is no Raven
covered in black.
You'll glare down this bird of
prey if you see it attack.
If you're enough to brave
it's talons in your back.
Like most animals owls
come in various shapes and
sizes. What they eat
contain more variation like
one prey in their pellets:
mice. These are owls. If
your interested to know, You
should study their thick
skin an special glow.Owls1 day ago in Free Verse

Don't waste your lifesitting there, just wasting time

until you are really able to see what is truly important

everything you have worked for suddenly wasted

and lost in tides of an ongoing ocean

when you have nothing left, where do you go

why are you even here

is there even a reason for life at all

we are just weak beings doing nothing with our lives

whats the point anyways

if we aren't meant to do anything

then why should we even still be here

we just destroy our planet with pollution and other things

and barely try to do anything about our dying planet

we think whats the point in trying and don't do anything about it

without even realizing what gDon't waste your life1 day ago in Free Verse

Twinkling StarsTwinkling stars
You're nothing but pinpricks in a sky
So black you shine
Turning it midnight blue
With a light of your own making.

Revered as the sun
Wishes placed upon
Carrying burdens across light years
Do they reach you?
Do you know?
You've been named
Made into constellations
By beings you'll far outlast
The stuff of stories
Myths and legends
You shine upon our heroes
Cast your favour on our wishes
Remind us to make them come true.

Far away compass
Your light is the guide
For weary travelers
Trekking through the darkness
Praying you will forever twinkle
To dissipate the black shadows
Slowly surrounding them.

The WavesThe waves
Lapping the shore
Endlessly rolling
Merely repetitive motions
That
Unless you do not experience them day after day
Become merely a noise
A background song
To your day
Your life.
The waves
Lapping the shore
Endlessly
As if they are oblivious
To the way they are ignored.The Waves1 day ago in Free Verse

GoldenShe is golden
Crying out to me as she dignifies the morning.
Blinding me
Encasing me in her warm arms
Comforting my wonders as I stare up into her pudgy round face.
Feeding my thought with her soothing touch across my cocoa butter skin.
So I lie there.
Watching her.
As my life passes
And time goes byGolden1 day ago in Free Verse

HurricaneHurricane

The wind whistled
It's soft
simple tune
The breeze
Soft and warm

The wind whipped
And cracked
So suddenly
The rain pelted me
I ran for shelter
The wind screeched
I saw the water rising
Up fast
The running water
Swept away cars
And people

Then
Quiet
I knew it must be
The Eye of the storm
