A hand extended

a hand extended a shoulder lent courage re-ignited by a friend in the nick of time   discipline induced seeds of culture sown miracles incubated by leaders in the nick of time   realization dawns much later you were saved just in the nick of time https://dversepoets.com/2019/09/09/quadrille-87-quick-nick-us-a-poem/

Tranquillity

dense forests pulsating with fear of hunters’ shots and wild desire   I find a cave with calm ambience redefine peace -it’s not silence   darkness intoxicates takes me to the core unpeeling layers to discover   Tranquillity - a drug Why did I travel so far? https://dversepoets.com/2019/08/26/and-the-most-beautiful-words-are/ https://mindlovemiserysmenagerie.wordpress.com/2019/08/27/photo-challenge-278/

Heal yourself

sarcasm, criticism concealed barbs psychopaths know the power of toxic expressions   victims flinch but cannot escape the impact, cannot wash away stains on their psyche   move out beyond circles of damage stay aware of unwanted marks   heal unfreckle before they become deep unerasable scars https://dversepoets.com/2019/07/29/quadrille-84/

Sunflowers

a lifetime spent tracking the sun in the sky and then turning east again on pressing of reset buttons….   weeks, months, years of keeping a boss happy to milk benefits - changing direction again with the entry of a new tormentor   days never end…..   https://dversepoets.com/2019/07/15/quadrille-83-8th-anniversary/

Re-directed

Why should I fret  over a life that did not happen, lost battles, well-meaning initiatives not supported by amoral power?   I cannot stop values being redefined, the world realigning to laws of the jungle….   I will change course and find peace In solitude -Redirected https://dversepoets.com/2019/06/17/quadrille-82-fretboard-of-poetry/

Dragons

I’m a lone warrior but there’s no enemy on the battlefield   critical voices put-me-downs Hmmm..s and frowns I heard from childhood are the dragons I fight every day, every  hour   life on the defensive while attackers fled ages ago leaving scars on my psyche https://dversepoets.com/2019/06/03/quadrille-81-here-there-be-poem-dragons/
