*~WELCOME*~

I sat on a wooden bench 

neath a gallant tree 

vibrant beams...

of the harvest sun filtered 

through its nearly bare limbs

a comforting tender breeze

rustled Autumns melody 

while swirling a bold bouquet 

of leaves which carpeted

pavement in floral tones 

of rose , marigold , sugar-maple 

and chrysanthemum

entranced by the ambiance 

I forgot my human self JD

Autumns cranberry 
sun-rays...
seep through
Heaven's tender cool blue 
spicy perfume
of crisp foliage 
and floral petals 
dance -descend ...
in un-tamed voltage

Jill Delbridge

stilled lake water

grows calm and colder

neath barren docks

candle flame colored

leaves adorn treetops

nature slumbers

 as , daylight arises from dreams

 nightfall yawns

 golden sunlight beams

 through puffy clouds of dawn

 morning glories awaken in full bloom

 wafting their sweet perfume ,,,

 baby blue jays sing pretty melodies

 butterflies flutter their rainbow wings

 as angelic gentle sea breezes blow ...

 whispering to all hello

Jill Delbridge 

float atop rain - water

oblivious to their surroundings

mesmerizing ...Spiritual trance

inebriated on the elixir of dance

spontaneous burst

of self - expression

an artistic collaboration

of inspiration

amid the pandemonium

DNA scattered upon oceans floor

remains wash up on a foreign shore

a skeletal jungle

birth out of hell

where sisters and brothers fell

their unrest souls wander round

a grimy

barren battleground

riddled in bloody stains , crimes

of greed , abuse of power , and mutiny

desecration - disinterment of their dignity

their story

re-scripted by a dishonorable country

 

lingering opaque haze

of a bureaucratic maze

cover ups

government ploys

and hush ups 

employed

 

casualties and fatalities

treated with disdain

pleas for justice await a revelation

in vain

 

 

haunting echoes ...

of machine gun rounds

and bombs bellow...

abominable sounds

pleas of mercy

brutal imagery ...

of burnt flesh, blood shed,

maimed bodies , visions of atrocities

and the dead

loiter war-torn mentalities

 

their honorable lips sealed in red tape

retched stench

of war and indifference

 from which there is no escape

 

 

 those who survived  their stay

are existing

but,  not living

 

 

no longer revered

discarded uncle sam tricks

 

 

Patriotic Soldiers who gave of themselves

loyal and selfless

 

 

representing and defending

Us

in reverence

 

 

now wallow and endure

 an endless tour

 fighting a futile war

 for this nations

 wrong doings and sins

 

Impossible to win

 

afflictions...biological

and experimental

 

restrictions...physical

and psychological

 

addictive hallucinogens

administered as placation

 

 

anxiously await esteem

to be redeemed

 

through it all they maintain

 a dedicated regime

 

Saluting the flag at ease

Proudly in fatigues !

 


 
While I completely abhor war and I am against violence.

I RESPECT Our Soldiers!

 

 In Honor of...

 

All the Men , Women , and mere Children who are still serving and protecting

and all who lost their lives on and off the battlefield ,to those who have survived and returned home w/ battle

scars !I  PRAY everyday for  Justice and World Peace.

 I APPRECIATE YOU All ! MUCH Respect , Peace ,ONE Love, & BLESSINGS !

There's a Place...

Inspired/mused by " Redemption Song " by Bob Marley 

it glistens sweetly

like granules

of raw brown sugar

Breathtaking

it hollows centrally

Nirvana gathered

upon a Spring wind  

essence sweet and tangy

(stir of my emotions )

moist as pure rain

(tear-droplets )

smooth ocean peebles

(sensation)

earth tone hues and beryl

(aura)

swirls of luminous sunshine  

(hope)

akin to new birth

flavor of Love on my lips

I am dancing free

Serenity...

and melancholy interlaced

in the midst of wistfulness

and sorrow

converging within the moment

caught trembling on the edge

Feasible...

underbelly of its revelation

soft as silken petals

soothing aloe

gentle pastels and bold primaries

prismatic and chromatic

caressing all the colors in my palms

blowing its residue into the rain

(releasing) 

 "Redemption Song "plays in my mind ...

exhaling its mass of sorrowfulness

ascending to a star dust sky

inhaling gossamer winds of LOVE

unto my straving soul

lingering gently...

simmering consistently

brown sugar and cinnamon

earth and Heacven

Jill Delbridge poem in included in my book "Love Wise"

frosty moon whole and aglow

glistening from its soul

sublimely kissing sugary knolls

of virtuous snowfall

Jill Delbridge 12/17/13 

soft gray moon lanterns

illuminating cobalt heavens 

transparent shrouds

of clouds

fleet...as scattered stars eclipse

sparkling like diamond chips

wildlife huddles peacefully

into shrubbery

sheltered from frosty

winds gusting copiously...

crickets soothing melody

serenades humanity 

as couples nestle together

warm , affectionate and tender

on a blustery evening in November

 Jill Delbridge November 4, 2013  

Oil painting by Jason Okoto 

Silent bliss of evening falls again

darkness is my solitude

and welcoming  friend  

the warm moon shimmers

all over my skin

releasing hostility  

inviting LOVE

and freedom within 

cruising within my dreams

through the night 

hazy frenzied chronicles

are brought to light

history flutters....past my psyche

on aged fragile film

smeared by teardrops

yet ,I can still decipher between

toxic and sweet memories

tugging at my heart

my senses wide open

surging through my veins

goose-pimpling my skin

heart beats pump

labored breaths

a flapping fish out of water

tossing affliction to the wind ...

with fortitude

and unequivocal LOVE

I maintain strong  

with the will to survive

diving right back

into the salty sea of life  

drowning ghosts of bygone

into abysmal depths

resurfacing in affable waters

swimming with blithesome

and insight...

into what the future beholds

Jill Delbridge in my book "Love Wise"

waxing moon has risen

amid starlit coal heavens

boughs of trees 

lazily sway 

in the chilled breeze

as the end of this day

spills into the seas

great spirit of Love sails free...

Jill Delbridge  10/8/13 

I have roamed

on blood orange sand 

of the Motherland

where sun and moon

glow dusk to noon

Heavens rainbow tones

cushioned my nude soles and toes

where star dunes

warm appeasing 

breezes

flow...

earthly

and Heavenly

realms meld  

aglow

I have gazed

at sapphire dancing waves  

crystal jewel  tone seas

as far as my eyes could see

Amazed!

at this place

where ebony

and ivory

doves fly 

Free....

across blue water sky

I patiently

and faithfully  

await destiny

for a star to descend

when moon and sun

are as One

as I ascend

or does the Promised Land

reside in me ?

Jill Delbridge May 14, 2012 

Blue or green?

Which is the color of the sea?

in my minds eye I see

Heavenly aquamarine

waves melding

undulating...

HARMONIOUSLY

thoughts stir inside of me

questions flood my mind

crashing through the Divine

my Faith deeply embedded

In my fluid cognition

perspective comes along with me

my emotions flow across the pages

expressing my visions , promises ,

and aspirations

speaking hopefully

tactful but , bluntly

with my compassionate heart wide open

my way of coping

examining the world we live in today

amongst people not knowing what to say

and/or think

music of my words soothes me

as tears

flow...continuously

immortalized in bold black ink

Praying for peace on earth

U-N-I-T-Y UNITY

seeing people become ghost

turning their back to me

when I need them the most

sometimes as hard as I try

personalities , circumstances clash

I cry

knowing full well I must part peacefully

it is a challenge to say the least

I'll bid you well in all you do

pretense of all is good

While I no longer like you

is not me

I will always respect and Love you

discarding negative memories

wishing you the best

may you be continuously Blessed

seeing folks without

faith or hope in their eyes

frustration comes my way

endless questions

some without tangible solutions

lost within frustration and confusion

I turn to my Faith and Devotion

of Love unconditional

for one and all

deep inside the chambers of my heart

Its chipped like fragile glass ,

but , not shattered

at peace within a path in my mind

of hope for better days

no way

am I perfect

for , only one is our SAVIOR

many a time I error

my conscience

keeps check of my behavior

I like to lead not to follow

my ultimate grip

Is stereotypes

fat, thin, short, and/or tall

to me makes no difference at all

black ,white, red, yellow, and brown

or a combination of a few or all

straight, bi , lesbian ,or homosexual

religious , spiritual , or atheist

I LOVE you ALL

UNITED WE Stand divided we fall

We live ,we Love ,we learn

how my fellow Brothers and Sisters Love

is not my concern

What is though

IGNORANCE

lack of common sense

rationalization for me

did we not all

descend from the same family?

do I hail from another realm

I Pray not

cause its not

about you or me

but, US

TOLERANCE

No not acceptance

but , RESPECT

must always be ever so present

I stride within confidence

please always know I will be true

with unwavering Love for you

I am not a part time friend

my Love is consistent

No beginning , middle , or end

Secret Garden

over an emerald mountain 

lies a trickling... natural spring fountain

encased in fragrant shade tress

an endless field of rainbow poppies

I discovered a breathtaking paradise

where wildlife sings Psalms

a rippling ... stream calms

soft earth - green grass  surround

simple pleasures abound

where nature and mankind reside

in a precise climate outside

all fear and harm are given a pardon

In the secret garden 

filled with endless Love

Bestowed  from Above

© 2008 Night Writer

 Imagine ...(Much Respect to John Lennon Who Inspired this poem)

Imagine:

sailing....

on a crystal cool

blue ocean

calm waters rippling...

void of commotion

then being reborn as a bird

surpassing the forlorn

the ability to fly ...

across the vast sky 

soaring beyond earth

into a dreamland of mirth

Imagine:

trans-versing 

the Heavens

sauntering

with an Angel 

singing Psalms

of extol

Imagine:

closing

then

opening

your eyes

viewing endless

enchanting visions

while held in the captivation

of your Lovers eyes 

Imagine:

 a world

where everyone

lives and Loves 

 as one

sun to sun 

brothers, sisters ,

and all GODS'

living creatures

Imagine:

where all embrace

regardless of sexuality,

creed , nationality ,

and/or race

ONE LOVE

reigns in this

wondrous place

of  endless grace

 Imagine:

blushing pink sunshine

breathtaking and Divine

pure warm tender rain 

cleansing away

all worldly ills and pain 

promise of a better day 

Imagine:

all things simple 

but , amply beautiful 

placid and peaceful

a genuine smile

sweet yet , sensual

oozing in beguile 

 Imagine:

delicate bow shaped lips 

covering your lips

so soft , velvety,

rich  , and creamy

bestowing a kiss

tingling in bliss

setting a Love glow 

to your soul

Imagine:

petal soft

fingertips -caress

every inch 

of your flesh

akin 

to shivering

aspen leaves

wafting ...

a tepid satiating breeze

Imagine:

sipping the nectar

of passions flower

from a virgin spring well

that is abysmal

Imagine :

living the ID

of your dreams

scream

in felicity and delight 

beneath platinum moonlight

Imagine:

living carefree

infinite sheer ecstasy

granting and accepting

Love unconditionally

your heart set a fire

Love-making satisfying

every wanton desire

Imagine:

where fantasies

meld into realities

if you can imagine all this

then you know what Love is

Imagine:

Believe 

give more than 

you receive 

and then ah ....yes 

all of this can happen

IMAGINE!

My Eternal Aspiration

LOVE of GOD

Foundation of my existence

My unwavering devotion

Utilized in every...Angle of my intentions

Soul food of my motivation

My sole influence

Strength from which...

Is the conclusion of my every action

Faith which drives me forward

Vastness of natures wonders

Which saturate my dreams

Pure spiritual salve

That appeases my soft soul

Heart warming ray's of Glory

From dawn's golden Sunrise

My definition and completion

An epiphany only experienced

Through worship and prayer

Knowledge and understanding

Virtuous scent of Angelic Divinity

Billowing ....essences of LOVE

Gracefully sprinkled

By gentle fluttering wings

Upon tender warm zephyrs

GODS teardrops (gentle virgin rain)

Cleansing and anointing

Infinite consecrated stars (souls)

Reflecting moon beams of LOVE

Descending from sable Heavens

Absolutely breath taking

Resonant voice

Lingering spirit

Of my peaceful soul

Bestowing a feminine

Embrace of LOVE

Upon all humanity

My aspiration for

Eternity... 2009 © Night Writer
