Premium MemberThe Master Piece

Time is a master piece
That requires patience
Time is the allocation given to
Everyone that is born and living
Time is like a pie consisting 
Of all manner of ingredients 
That includes all in a humans life
Sadness and joy, peace and war, 
 births and deaths
Riches and poverty 
Every one must partake of this
 pie of time.
Time is a master piece we must
Partake of it wisely
Before the time allocated to us is
 spent.


Premium MemberLightening my Darkness

We were conceived and born in sin
Shrouded in pitch darkness
The price written was death
Paid for by Adam as a price for 
 treasonable felony in death
Then darkness became our
  second nature, 
Our apparel and our cloak

Jesus stood in our place and
Paid the debt of our progenitor
He took upon Himself our burden
  and baggage of sin
Nailing it on the cross.
Declaring our freedom from the law 
  of sin and death 
Lightening our darkness
Illuminating Us with His light.

Premium MemberDuel of Death

Its the Sea horse and the Sea snake seemingly
 in an embrace 
Lo its the Sea horse and the Sea snake in a duet
A duet of life and death in an embrace 
The poisonous bite of the snake pierce into
 the horse.
It's a duel to the death in the salty sea waters 
with the snake standing.

Premium MemberAngel Unveiled -

I taste You not as a delight or delicacy,
rather as a prophecy on the lips of crises,
Your eyes speak revelation of my design,
and therefore I love you for the pretty pain,
You've taught me about the rhythm 
of gospel burning brightly
in the palms of destiny,
I love You for your quiet sacrifice,
You are irreplaceable on the surface of my face
and in the spring of my life,
I love You, not as a choice,
but because of your priceless voice,
let your eyes burn into me,
let them burn deeply,
allow me to experience life freely -

J.A.B.

Premium MemberAlone

Water set for tea and oatmeal still boiling in the fire place.
Music still humming soft tunes in the seating room.
But there lies the lonely loner backward on the floor.
Lying down and staring upwards view hindered by the ceiling.
Then the door belll rings accompanied by several knocks. 
Too weak to answer the door, too drained to call out.
Breaking in and there lies the loner on the marble floor.
Living alone and all its accompanying dangers.


Premium MemberThe Woman

She's sleek, elegance style her strive every 
creation her beauty turn heads 
Don't matter, big or small; love knows no 
boundaries of sophisticated curves 
She's hardcore independent dying be pamper 
Cosmetic work of art in fine tune 
Skin dripping heat of passion to love 
Touch her nails gash sensation urge 
To touch her soul, feel for want desires 
cries freedom while looking for peace 

Heart, pounding thirst she thrives quenching 
She's lost, always searching her existence 
Beauty of grace, extravaganza to existing 
Why her soul weep lonely behind the grin 
missing arms of tender love 
The woman, creation to life and man but 
to herself the image in the mirror 
Down deep, fury awaits scorn mischief hidden 
Beware, bite can be vicious or love like friend

Premium MemberTHE LAND WHERE DEMONS LIVE

Down in the valley of Death 
Where the Demons live
Many a man has heard their call
Which has killed his soul

And at the altar where witches chant
Their dark spells out do fly
And many a man has lost his life
Bye and bye

This is the land where Demons live
Ravaging life and mind
And all the music of the universe
Is in their evil darkness cursed

This is the land where Demons live
A land of violence and crime
Covered with blood and endless tears
A land of hate and infinite fears

This is the land where Demons live
A land of war and death
Of poisoned wine from deep dark wells
And minds that live in inner Hells

This is the land where Demons live
A world of wretchedness and sin
Where dreams are all forever lost
As the wreck of their world is taken in

Premium MemberTHE SOULS OF THOSE WHO PRAY


In the souls of those who pray
An illuminating light will shine
Guiding the blessed wanderer on his way
Aided by God’s grace divine
………………………………
The soul in radiance shines
Beholding a blessed beauty of a holy saint
Now exiting from material times
To enter a paradise only poetry can paint
…………………………….
Where righteousness and goodness reign
A Paradise where God lives in eternal bliss
Here never is there any sorrow or pain
All rest in God’s presence giving thanks and a kiss
……………………………………………
In the souls of those who pray 
An inner light like mental eyes
Gazes out on the world 
And its secret life is realized
...............................................
Of the souls of those who pray
This is what they say.

Premium MemberPorepunkah is headline news

They came with loaded guns a pack of ten police, for Desi Freeman
Did they the first shots release? Now two are dead..beat down by
Lead, another wounded; and their quarry is fled.' What crime originate the chain of events.? Sad to see the state of affairs.' Mind
You life now seems cheaper.' Where once many cared here.' Is
It the fruit of heavy policing, and government over-reach.?
Did he lose a grandparent.? Due to lockdowns and hyped speech?
Was there a gripe.? What does this teach.? Will he be the
Modern Ned Kelley, adrift in the bush.?
Will dobbers surface.? Will confidence leech? I only hope for healing.? Peace and mateship i here beseech.'

Premium MemberJust for You

My love for you didn't come by my
  Feelings
It was imparted in my spirit when He spoke 
  To me
Then His pulsating surge overwhelmed 
  Me
I couldn't let go again
I am in a high state of delirium yet it kept
  coming 
I never wondered how, and never wavered 
Because it was imparted in my heart.
Then I knew we were meant to be for 
  Life
 Two decades and still counting it has not 
   Diminished 
Its worth is invaluable than gold and
   Rubies
This is for you, 
    my babe my Ibilate, 
 My one and only love.

Premium MemberThe Blade of Grass

The rains are here, relentless 
 as ever
The grass blade is excited like 
  never
The season of hibernation is 
   over
Swirling in water, as duck dumpling
  in sauce
The blade of grass has come home to
   grow

It is a rich gourmet of moisture and 
  nutrients 
Thrusts the roots, taking its journey 
   southward
And the shoots also going 
    northwards
The grass blade has come to take its
    place.

As the rains continue in its
   season
The lush of greenery fills the 
  reasons
Natural beauty in such lyrical 
   passion
Paradise in a paradox,
 Laying her among
  the lilies.

Premium MemberWhy Be Serious

What's the big deal Why do we always have to be serious Or well adjusted and stuff like that That's no freaking fun Why can't we run amok through the streets naked Tossing flowers to bystanders Bizarre as that may seem Life is to be lived to the fullest and enjoyed The kookier the outlook, the better If you delve deep enough You can find humour in almost every situation However, you must be predisposed to it To recognize it In other words, you must be a bit twisted My motto... “Why be serious!” Ain't nothing wrong with being twisted

Premium MemberBreathe

I was in His bosom before 
 time existed
With no form or comeliness
I was created from the dust
But nothing in me moved 
Until His breath hit me 
Then i came to full life 
The very essence of Him
I am created to praise Him
That I will always do
Let your breath come afresh
 on me
Renew me with your Spirit.

Premium MemberBallad for the Wacky Waving Inflatable Tube-Man

air rockets skyward
uppercutting inside
plastic neon flesh
contorting at inhuman angles
what does my body language spell?

ankles anchored into the Earth
to stay grounded as the wave
of time and space crashes
a flood of stagnant flux

there is a symphony of bones
snapping and cracking
in twisted orchestrations
the act of existing for me
is a resilient demonstration

Premium MemberI am a Virgin

I am a virgin, I have never been touched by a man since I was created.
I have never known  a man, I have never been logged, my features still remain intact.
I am a rainforest based in the Amazon basin of Brazil.

No logger has touched my growth, they come and go naturally
Life cycle turning full circle.
I am a virgin, I have never been logged by a logger.
I am a rainforest based in the Amazon basin of Brazil.
