At Risk of Trespass by Josh Bond
There are parts of me that remain untrespassed
and I wonder whether to invite you there or check them out alone one more time before I dare ask you to accompany me along the ridge path that drops away to both sides a fine view to the left the air clear and bright and to the right the fog of despair which is…- View more comments

Before the Supperbell Rings by Josh Bond
Wait not until the wild
tiger takes you over but let yourself run free before the supperbell rings drift no more through the fog of wondrous plots tangled in their contrivances hold on to the pitch of your story so the rubber bullets cannot reach you nor the ones you love the starwheels of fortune may…

In a Corner of Apparent Insignificance by Josh Bond
Somewhere, in a corner of
apparent insignificance I found a piece of honey comb stuck at the bottom of an old jar reminded me of the generosity often hidden in small events popping into life unexpected with secret serendipity signals of a whole other universe just a hair's breadth away…

Gift in the Gap by Josh Bond
A popular way to beat myself up
hides in the apparently harmless concept of an 'unlived life' ◊ plenty of roads-not-taken ◊ decisions-not-made ◊ opportunities missed ◊ potential-not-achieved all in a bitter nutshell which holds more than enough to make me feel ◊ inept ◊ stupid ◊ awkward ◊◊◊ a failed human…

Recipe for a Real Source by Josh Bond

Sacred Space By Josh Bond
When
after many
years of seeking
two souls meet in sacred space
guided by the law of attraction of equals
both know that happiness is not made
by one on behalf of the other
both commit to being themselves
in each other's presence as a daily practice
both cherish their time shared
as a gift of their precious life
together…

Greetings. As some of you may know, I have been going deep into the poems of Josh Bond. There is saying about wisdom: When you take one step toward wisdom, wisdom takes two steps toward you. I think this saying has been worded in different ways. However the saying goes, Josh’s work is stepping into the frontiers of my heart and soul.

Author’s Note:
This piece is inspired by “The Common Journey”, by Josh Bond, the fifth poem of thirty, selected by Veronika Bond. This poem, as with all of Josh’s poems, is filled with literary intricacies and mechanisms, from the subtle to the more pronounced, which he uses, adroitly, to pace the poem and create an ambiance for the…

Author’s Note:
Inspired by “The Call To Adventure”, by JoshBond. To me, the underlying message is to do freedom responsibly. For me, this involves a mindfulness of both the internal and the external. In this poem, Josh incorporates subtle, irregular structures, such as: Broken stanza, slide rhyme, sparse punctuation, phantom rhyme structure as…
