Expressed Depths Of Love

Expressed kept,
Of love felt.
Deeper than ocean depths.
Yet to adventure or explored.
Can have to feel more meaningful.
To keep unforgotten.
Than wishing it to want,
Love to say to another.
But gone to go ignored.
As if taken for granted.

Squeezing Out The Light

Squeezing out from insight.
The brightest of light.
From life to allow fade away.
With no replacement to rescue and save,
Humanity!
Facing an array of chasing dilemmas.
Believing it takes air left to breathe.
Is one's only need.
To return...

What Is Meant To Intend

That which is meant to intend,
Inflicted upon the innocent.
To begin it to go around.
Can be eventually observed to witness,
Chipping away...
A peace to believe,
Coming down to the ground.
Piece by piece.
From a power released.
No empire...

Accepted Disrespect

Being inquisitive.
With an adventurous outlook.
To explore one's life.
Beyond a known environment.
As if,
Done to make known more...
About citizens living upon other shores.

Some may say this approach to do,
Is a conscious way of being...

The Best Of Efforts

Regardless of the best efforts,
To be to see.
There will be some to declare it scum.
No one should feel defeated,
By hearing this done.
Coming from the mouths,
To discourage and shun.

Whoever endeavors,
To make a difference made.
Not seen...

Hi, EdwinRayTanguma. I appreciate your comments on 'What Is Meant To Intend'. Since as a writer, I am not swayed by religious or political beliefs others may or may not have. I can only admit being aware and conscious of current events. Events that should to all us conscious, be serious about how humanity is affected by them. I am a writer. Powerless to offer remedies or solutions. I comment on what I observe and see from my perspective. Whether or not my point of view is accepted. Like those who may read my submissions to Poetry.com...living in an environment with problems existing.
This permits and provides me with incentive. And, I do the best I can to respect beliefs that are not my own to attempt to influence anyone. However, I do encourage thinking as a process that, hopefully, promotes understanding. Thanks again. Lawrence

Hi. So much I thank you for your comments. It seems that many refuse to see or accept to believe the severity of these times we live. Too much it is assumed. That these occurrences are isolated events. They are not. Especially when we live in a country in which 'children' can obtain and use weapons creating havoc and violence on the streets where we live. As if this increasing madness of sadness is a sign of how sick this craze has become to be normalized! Thank you, once again, alanswansea18. Your comments I appreciate very much. Lawrence

Hi Nebula. I like ur name. Thank you for ur comments. I have been writing in several forms & different formats, mostly to do to place more emphasis on my chosen topic. Some get 'it'. Some 'don't'. That you 'did' amazes me. These days, many take their faith and religious belief with the same feeling as if shopping at a mall to catch a bargain. And then to thank God! Thanks again. Have a great day. Peace/Blessings, Lawrence
