Stirring Minds

a mind stir propels awakens the dormant catalyses action creates forward motion yet scares …   when I know not what lies within what monsters I awaken or goodness I invoke   I’d rather show new paths to follow be better than one has ever been https://dversepoets.com/2020/03/09/quadrille-99-poems-stirred-not-shaken/

QR Code

codes generated to conceal to protect identity and motives resist peeling   garbage peels do not aid a journey to reach the core it needs skills to find concealed but relevant routes   I’m astounded by the likeness between spiritual journeys and reading a QR code https://dversepoets.com/2020/02/24/quadrille-98-peelings-nothing-more/

Wild – Who, what, when?

going wild changed meaning from grabbing all the chocolates to rebellious adolescence to unconventional youth to wistfulness of adulthood   I wonder why I only wish to go wild now what stops me from doing it? fear of wilderness, weak will, or fear of repercussions?       https://dversepoets.com/2020/01/27/quadrille-96-wild-monday/

Turbulence

Waves roar on the seashore drowning the noise inside me, filtering core essence of thoughts, letting me know futility of indulgence in contemplation of transient influences, but compel me to think about life at the bottom of oceans, and its impact on turbulent waves https://dversepoets.com/2020/01/13/quadrille-94-roaring-in-the-new/

Blank Canvas

creativity falling through cracks of everyday-ness morphs into sensitivity a guilt that keeps gnawing at your insides demanding release whipping your conscience for incarceration asking laws be rewritten rules redefined till justice is done soul of a blank canvas or white page is inked https://dversepoets.com/2019/11/18/quadrille-92-take-a-crack-at-poeming/

from where do they pop up in so-called happy homes unforeseen facets of known personalities   difference of opinion clash of interest greed above ethics strategic blame games   keeping it all in is a challenge…. keeping it all in the family is a bigger challenge https://dversepoets.com/2019/11/04/quadrille-91-keep/

Downcast eyes

eyes afraid to meet mine quivering lips you need not say more… I know the lie   Yet… I stop to think Why did my presence make you nervous? Why could you not bluff with comfidence?   Is it true that you care deep down somewhere? https://dversepoets.com/2019/10/21/quadrille-90-were-all-a-quiver/
