~ This Thing Called Life ~
{the love of all}
In times of discontent
Some pious tears a closing eye requires
The soft quiet of near repent
Diverts the mind with worldly desires
As threats of pain bring compromise...
Thrown together in this thorny wind
Thoughts run south into orange hellfire
Where carnivorous lairs spawn subtle sin
Masked in righteous, godly, attire
Until the self can no longer be recognized...
So slyly can a mind be swayed
Bending broken bonds of life's decisions
Those slippery slopes of daily choices made
Manifesting as good and evil subdivisions
Where confusion urges the mind to self-despise...
A difficult twist is this thing called life
With dark energy filling every direction
Our creator has taught us to look deep inside
For this is the shelter of supreme connection
The kinetic kiln where all love is mobilized...

Hey Tony, wow what a piece. Genuinely an absolutely brilliant example of poetry that speaks the truth. And thank you also for your feedback on my piece of writing too. The fact that you made the effort to read my work and reach out I now know Iβm not alone. And thatβs all a human being could ever wish for, to be recognized and accepted by someone or something else. Take care and all the best!

Love tends to immobilize like a deep sleep in a good dream, sometimes wet.Β
Deep is the emotional sea, deep is the unique, deep breath before any woe.Β
The only way to mobilizeΒ love is too set the people free.Β
And that won't happen until moral law is law.Β
And untill anarchy hits and makes this so. This is how unfair life is.............. but you already know.Β
Many blessings to you Tony and wishes of smooth sailing from here on out, for you, for me, for all.. everybody.Β

Cool, haven't been called groovy or fiery before, like it. Thank you.
I gift you more confidence in the area of your own choosing.Β

Beautiful flow Tony. What I find amazing about most of your work is you are never shy in alluding to the 'realness' of human nature. The good the bad, the dark the light and that we are all a mixture of both... the path of darkness is always a very real option for all of us but even so... love can overcome. Great write x
Thank you SOOO much Miss MARION.....for this amazing comment.....and the inspiring words you leave that go straight to the heart of my work....you and I walk similar paths in this life...or at least from what I can gather from your poetry!!...you are SOOOO right.....Love does overcome!!.....it is indeed the thread running through us all!!.....stay cool!!......T xoΒ : )
Wonderful work Tony! βοΈππΌ
