Redeemed

Resurrected

His time served

Vengeance repelled

Relinquishing fate's grasp

A conscious outpouring

Fills his redeeming heart

A prowess ensues, trusting

Confirming his about-face

The guilt subsiding

 His path perfectly clear

His lungs filled with

Only this moment

 He begins walking

In a different direction

Where veracity and intent

Are herald by destiny.

A Universe Perhaps

Running parallel
To ours, mimicking
Our existence
Having created
Mankind,s womb, now
Gaming our dreams
 
Perceptions reeling
Worm-holes gravitating
Manipulating our
Dream's epicenter
Willing their appetites
  Falsifying our goals

Suspended, submerged then
Resurrected, hallucinatory 
Realities escaping, compelling
  Revered, misunderstood while
Laughing at these anomalies

Mind conditions animated
Evolving life, creating
A  parallel world beneath
Our Dreams footprint.

Painted Strokes

Stimulated by my mind's

Canvas, deliberate at times

Every so often unexpected

Consciously undetected

A discerning freedom

Fencing off delirium 

Undaunted, unassuming

Eagerly looming

 A welcoming redemption
A delightful opus infusion

 A poetic streaming rainbow 

A collective heart and soul

Avoiding pretentious rhymes

Difficult at best of times
Never sought or believed
 Poetic injustice never conceived

Stretching my imagination

Unafraid, kaleidoscope in vision

  Registered over soul's gravity
Its ethos derived naturally.

Random Thoughts

Stirring, burning

Inside his head

Ideas refueling

Randomly multiplying 

Thoughts heightened

Merging, provoking

A spark ignites

Bursting into hues

Impetuous, forthcoming

Devoid of intimidation

Fantasies cascading, a

Wondrous journey unfurling

Kaleidoscope patterns

Illuminating, highlighting

A foundation for his

New painting.

Hopes Promise

Nowhere in sight, feeling

Irrelevant, behaving miserably

Out of gas, he sits down

On his lifeless wooden bench

Overlooking stormy seas

Waves roaring, crashing

His mind broken, without spirit
His aspirations failing

Left to wonder, hanging on

By a thread,  his dream's

Vision captured, netted by

By ego's inhaling current

An unwanted shifting tide

Calamitous, piercing

Suffocating, dragging

His world out to sea.

Edwin James

...

His Mind Numb

Flickering while
Musing shadows dance

In front of a light

Submerged in trance

Uncommon to logic

Testing his sanity

Challenging his dream

Abilities with every

Shadows inward turn

Drifting, transcending

A mindset unrealized

By hope's illusion.

Edwin James

...

Whispering Sunsets

Remembered, unyielding

Nourished by the

Winds spent from

Seasons long ago

Distant ashes set

Aglow, responding to

Echoing memories

Taking over her soul

Chilled by the last

Gasp of sunlight 
Conceding, letting to

Naked and alone

As days last light

Surrenders, leaving her

Heart with memories

Not of this night.
