Don't think so much
you're gonna suffocate
your feelings

God is lonely & it’s your fault.
At the breakfast table you have forgotten
God, & growling about your dry cleaning
& certainly reviewing your various
intelligence reports. God is lonely
though you send to the realms reams
of gardeners & poets & schoolchildren,
though you hoard, as if possessed,
the tools that fill God's rooms—
it’s not what God wants. God wants you.

I never said all actors are cattle; what I said was all actors should be treated like cattle.

Pink blossom loosens
from the branch
and follows the wind
toward me.

I write with each petal,
each small return of colour,
until memory meets morning.

~ Raymond Antrobus #RaymondAntrobus #Poetry #Quote

My ear amps whistle like they are singing
to Echo, goddess of noise,
the raveled knot of tongues,
of blaring birds, consonant crumbs
of dull doorbells, sounds swamped
in my misty hearing aid tubes.
Gaudi believed in holy sound
and built a cathedral to contain it,
pulling hearing men from their knees
as though atheism is a kind of deafness.
Who would turn down God?
Even though I have not heard
the golden decibels of angels,
I have been living in a noiseless
palace where the doorbell is pulsating
light and I am able to answer.

Gentleness
~ by me

I set out
to heal you with
my tenderness
as much as
you heal me
with yours

our auras intertwined
whisper on heat-shaped satin
colliding, reacting
healing words
healing touch
the tangible me
seeks the tangible you

I set out
to heal you with
my tenderness
as much as
you heal me
with yours

‘With Great Fanfare I Present You the Key to the City and This Is What
Happens

by Amorak Huey

apparently my body is a city
like all cities it was once new and small and made sense
like all cities it evolved over the ages

sprawl and addition
accumulation of choices that made sense at the time

a history's worth of whispers.

deep inside the city are cobblestones
archways
narrow alleys
I'm difficult to navigate

yet you stride with great confidence
as though you've been here before
Know exactly where you're going

at the center of the city a park
in that greenspace a tree
ancient black trunk
spider-limb and silhouette

the tree bears a single piece of ripe fruit
the fruit is my heart

The Question Ever

The question ever
on my tongue,

whether flustered
or in love,
whether hawk
or mourning dove,
whether silk
or boxing glove

is what
are you so afraid of.

#ScribesAndMakers ~ Share a line from something you've read today (with credit.) A poem. #WaltWhitman #Poetry

A Glimpse

BY WALT WHITMAN

A glimpse through an interstice caught,
Of a crowd of workmen and drivers in a bar-room around the stove
late of a winter night, and I unremark’d seated in a corner,
Of a youth who loves me and whom I love, silently approaching
and seating himself near, that he may hold me by the hand,
A long while amid the noises of coming and going, of drinking and
oath and smutty jest,
There we two, content, happy in being together, speaking little,
perhaps not a word.
