Imagine Love by monat08, literature

Literature

Imagine Love

The simple quiet of someone in prayer. An old married couple. The young boy who blushes every time he meets eyes with a pretty girl in his class--a girl whom he fancies, though he'd never admit it. The exuberance of a conductor. A young couple on a first date. The teenager who craves to understand and to be understood; to know love and to be loved. The artist who revels in color or chords, line or lyric. Girls chasing boys in the playground. The ecstasy of St. Teresa. The unabashed gentleman and the blushing bride. The boy working up the nerve to ask a crush a vulnerable question. The seasoned performer still quaking at the beauty of a piece.

Disorder by monat08, literature

Literature

Disorder

To begin at what could be an end- Is it the time for waiting, Or lust, 'love', and placating? While in these stone hearts we all but pretend! I crave an effect to bask in, a sky to soar in, a use to task in, and a soft shadow to linger in. How is this our world that's turning So swiftly on its slightly tilted axis? With all my guile I tell you don't nix this- It is worse for blackened, o'er spent yearning. On such we act, On such we'll be judged. We start as so smudged. Pray against such fact. It is not so bad. There is a white longing For which there'll be thronging; It's just now a bit sad. To be a little bit corny: Wonton, virulent Vi

Waiting: Accu(r)sed and Saved by monat08, literature

Literature

Waiting: Accu(r)sed and Saved

Waiting: Accu(r)sed and Saved Pushing the limit. Can’t remember what I forgot. Givin' somthin' up, But can't remember what I got. Where to begin? Here is everywhere, But I am there- In that house And in her chair. Caught up with ideals, But also confused by the reels. Fantasy, reality; reality, fantasy Seeping into each other. What was the time again? When wounds will heal, And breaks will mend? But the scars I'll still feel. It is a kind word that soothes, A soft touch that comforts, A swift slap that burns, And a loose tongue that blunders. Such is life As the world keeps on spinning With distance a shackle And no time for pin

Hearts by monat08, literature

Literature

Hearts

Hearts are for throbbing, For aching, For breaking. Hearts strive for good, Or for bad, Or for ill. Hearts lead to sobbing, To faking, To The King. Heart can’t be bought, Can’t be sold, Can be filled. Hearts are for sharing, For sparing, For trust. Hearts give us life, Give us hope, Give us dreams. Hearts are forgiven, Are driven, Are crazed. Hearts, made for love, Make us one, Make us whole. Hearts can be caring, Gracious, Or petty. Hearts tend to intertwine, To leap, or be steady. Hearts are capable of great triumph And great tragedy, Good deeds And terrible evil, The brightest love And the blackest hate. Hearts burn, Glow

Aggie Silver Taps by monat08, literature

Literature

Aggie Silver Taps

Aggie Silver Taps So dark, as the bells play hymns that I know and love in the background. Amazing Grace. All else is silent save for the steady tapping emanating from the white, dignified mass as it slowly, steadily comes forward. The white is a stark contrast to the dark gloom. A bit of cold wind blows. Next, the rhythmic, unified tapping of rifle butts on the hard ground. The large collection of silent Aggies waits, expectant, and then...will I jump? I am sure that I will...the abrupt and shocking burst of sound from the 21 gun salute. I do jump. The birds scatter. The smell of gunpowder permeates the air. Again, the guns sound. I see bri

Split by monat08, literature

Literature

Split

Split Love does not come and go- it lives and breathes and grows, it observes and learns and knows. It is how we are Alive and why we Live. It is Not infatuation. It is Family. There is in it no fallout, no demise. It needn't be grasped at or clung to desperately, for it cannot slip through one's fingers. It Rests Gently, at Ease. But yet, it is Hard Work. When Strength is spent, it remembers itself, its Infinite source, and it does not give up. It Perseveres. It is transcendent! It is a Teacher and a Student, a Child and a Parent, a Soldier and a Peacemaker. Like a Beautiful work of Art it is Inspired and it Inspires.

Choice by monat08, literature

Literature

Choice

Choice and Consequence Be this of a man? Yes, Though taken to the jettisons of life-- Utterly heartbreaking. Not desired, torn, yet missed. The last a denied or guarded thought Of the innermost depths, Lest we break Or we truly be shameless. To be loved anew and always? Oh the woe of discarded or misused desire Of mankind and its mistress, Of habit and of scorn, Of degradation. But oh the joy of genuine ecstasy... Of love itself. From one bosom meant for love To one more, and most, true. Yet this does not undermine the need for reform, For we live in this world now To make the best of it Both for ourselves and others--

Media by monat08, literature

Literature

Media

Media How distorted is our view of reality! That we could boast impartiality and profess full consent? Bah! I scoff. Lies abound--in the main stream, in society-- Especially the slight ones that are the hardest to recognize Yet sometimes the easiest to accept. Underhanded! And rarely spoken in words. A well read mind and a discerning heart-- These are the enemy of the trend, Yet also an instigator when not tempered by a well formed will. May the images we seek, With which we fill our minds, Be wholesome and true. May we be just in our understanding, For what we take informs what we put out and defines us. Though not as much a
