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

A pinch of awareness

a dollop of humility three table-spoons of courage and half a pint of perseverance mix all four ingredients until readily assimilated and heat until hot enough to touch briefly without getting burnt the source is now ready — which begs the question — what does it mean to be…

NaPo Award:

I have been looking at awards for your participation in NWP NaPo..

I was originally going to get certificates for yall...

But I have decided to do something special for this first group...

I am truly impressed by all of you...

To be honest, I genuinely thought all was lost...

That I would be doing NaPo by myself...

I was like encircled…

A half-mooned sunrise

Peeks slowly over the trees

Promise of the day ahead

In a stealthy secret breeze

Silver and gold transfix the sky

Atmospheric moment between two minds

Stable or kinetic?

Slumber or frenetic?

Suggest to sleep in or should I Carpe diem?

Covers call in early cold

Barefoot steps to coffee bold

Writing helps or so I’m told

But I gotta move…

Remember purpose

Understanding

Nothing

Before the western sunset

After the summer sprinkles

Clearly

Kindness

Touched by effervescent love

Over every mountain

MOUNTAIN

Eagles lift and fly you home!

I stepped up the wide gap from ground to the porch landing. The stair was broken in half with one screw keeping one side from completely being removed from the structure. The boards now wrapping in the sun and moisture. Your not here to tke care of them. The paint is chipping and the drain spouts need cleaned out. The tree in the front and the…

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.
My process…

Walking step for step the pattern forms as we trail along, when the water forms tear drops falling from the sky. Softly landing on cheeks turned red from anguish, pain was fully displayed, the rip in time, the human size hole left within the mind.

I will say, I didn’t come to follow, but I would rather not lead. Chances are if you walk next to me, you should be fore warned, I like to smell the flowers all along the way. Bumble bees fascinate me and I may hang out with them for a while. If you are impatient, you may go on and leave me, I’ll offer you a smile. I doubt I will catch up, I am…

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…

MARY ANN FROM HIGH SCHOOL

You might have been a bit like me

I read you were an artist

I tried to find you in your art

I couldn’t find you

Did you find you? There,

In your art?

Did you hide in landscapes?

Disappear in a tear?

Rage in abstraction?

Spill in color?

Did you play with form and texture?

Did you follow the rules

Follow your heart?

Unabashedly…

A Tangerine sky

So vivid, so brilliantine bright

Lights the Eastern view

With apricot, orange, a bitten peach hue

A fruitful morning

Yet

With that timeworn sailor’s warning

Because what is whispered

Are naked words abhorring

The goodbye to our tryst

Unforetold destiny

In the dawn’s clear mist

Pressed forever into memory

The power of your insistent…

So much has happened these last few days

Nothing has changed

yet

Everything

Rearranged

From full moon to new moon

Waxing and waning between

I listen, focus, and constantly glean

My intentions

Reinventions

Even psychic soul connections

That show me where I cede

And

illustrates the need

To Heal.
