Premium Member Music of the Night

With the tremulous dark vista so far and yet so near
Abandoning my defences ~ I stand in awe ~ not in fear

 Virtuoso Maestro unleash 
       a Composition Grandioso
              To Overtures of a Symphony 
                   herald the raging storming Tempo
                                   Staccato Strains cascading
                           rapid torrents of Treble and Tremolo
                    Rhythmic Beats a Prelude 
      to an intensifying Triple Time Scherzo


Silken sail unfurled I embrace the storm of your tempestuous symphony
Crashing~ drifting~ floating~ flowing~ tasting ~awakening my melodic epiphany

                               Effervescent chilling thrilling air as 
                    Allegro whelms Allegretto
                               Electrifying sizzling Musette ~ 
                                         Trills a mesmeric Capriccio
                           Registers booming Bass Notes 
                    rumbling within your thunderous Vibrato
    Echoing claps of thunder Prompt 
                a spectacular Cadence Crescendo


I release my Spirit to gratify every phantasy in its sight
The soaring Tempest of my Soul liberates its own Philharmonic flight
Inhibitions abandoned as I succumb to your Music of the Night


Footnote:
By way of musical term allegory, I have endeavored to dramatize and romanticize the Awesomeness of an Electrical Thunderstorm and simultaneously likening it to the rush of tactual Sensual, Sexuality and Emotions experienced in romantic instances. I felt that the instrumental rendition of ‘The Phantom’ Musical, aptly accentuates the trepidation, anticipation and elating sentiments portrayed in the various elements of my poem.

Premium Member My Song

~Not Like Me~ 

When you were first put into my arms, 
I begged God, to make you nothing like me 
For my sins, ask for no transformation 
This is my song, my meditation 

Look at my face 
Where has it gone, 
You no longer desire to be part of my song 

Look at my life, 
The toll hasn't been paid 
I'm the one suffering every day 

The vengeance of eternal flames, 
   sit near the empty heart 
Burning my needs to hold you once more, 
I need you more than you'll ever know 

Now, Look at me, at the age of 73 
I have nowhere to go 
Everyone I know awaits in a place of gold 
Unlike you, you're too busy, proud and bold 
------ A different song!!! 

I sing a song, that accentuates the mind, 
I have no one to blame, I neglected all the signs 
Hoping the rain would slowly die off 

Today here I lay, wondering where I went wrong 
I implored God, to cause you nothing like me 
I have a heart that forgives and tries to forget 
I kneel, and I give, and I treat others with respect 
My compassion, I measured in the poorest way 

I judged my life worse than the others did 
Why did I ask ---- Not Like Me! 
For my sins, ask for no translation 
This is my song, my speculation 

The dreaded conclusion of this song, 
All I can say is, "Be careful what you ask for." 
In the end, all I can say, I got what I asked for 
Someone, who's Not Like Me......................

Premium Member Like a Pearl Necklace

LIKE A PEARL NECKLACE

Tall, dark and handsome,
First impressions are good.
A lovely accent accentuates his lips,
this man who loves my sister.

Two families joined as one,
As white and dark wrist circles
celebrate at their wedding

With aromatic arabic melodies
Fe Sehetak
A lovely cup of love

~

He was working at the Jerusalem Hotel.
She was on assignment in Israel.

~

A rolling car and shattered glass,
Almost snatched, the lives of father and son,
but for a miracle from God.

~

In my sister’s living room, cozy,
her husband’s Palestinian parents.

Emotive communications,
Joey’s grandma and I,
through God’s grace.

Our mutual love of her grandson, my nephew.
We point to the baby, and we blow kisses,
and point to the heavens.
A shared cup of joy and tears.

~

Like a pearl necklace we slide together,
the world grasped in the beauty of
shared smiles and gratitude.

And love.

Premium Member In the Place Where I Live

In the place where I live, curtains rise and fall
every day presents a different view,
snapdragons sing with a gifted voice.

A focused sun spotlights,
accentuates
the morning glory of another day.

 A faintly embossed rainbow 
burned on the retina of a brand new sky. 
Fireflies that like thousand watt bulbs
 glow to light even the shadows they create. 

I own my life, I cherish it 
I live every moment in 
celebration of every living species.

Where I reside I see no end 
I know of no beginning, 
rather rolls of events 
and miracles for the taking. 
My arms remain open wide, 
as does my mind with acceptance.

In my habitat, 
nature is wrapped in a quilt 
of a trillion unimaginable views 
in that landscape is where my God lives. 

For it was he who by his own hands 
knitted and sewed 
this perfect mother called Nature.

Premium Member Song of The White Willow No 6: AABB

Venture advances, the future ... occurs,
the White Willow trees, best found by rivers
edge. Salix alba, and 'Tristis' means sad,
hence, 'Weeping', yet the essence seems to add
a picturesque of a draped graceful scene,
nay gloomy but most tranquil, and serene.
The whitish tones of the leaf's undersides
evolved the tree's name. A meter trunk, wide's,
diameter, thirty-meter stretch that
leans caused by sloped limbs that bring its Top Hat
tilted downward. A bow ... accentuates,
or curtsey, being a deciduous
tree, where the flower's genders grow distinct,
genteel parade cascades in white trimmed linked.

Premium Member Wintry Panorama

     "Wintry Panorama"



snowflakes twinkle as diamond baubles of Winter lace
touching treetop tresses cascading landscape with grace
pearlescent panorama decorates houses as icicles crystallize
in vibrant view a Winter blanket carpets amid glorious sunrise.

dazzling frosty windowpanes reflect a chilly atmosphere
announcing Santa's on his way as Christmastime draws near
upon the snowy lawns lights illuminate pristine
O Holy Night as Angels gather round the manger scene.

silvery stars glow as sequined embroidered light
while the gold of crescent Moon indulges snowbirds in flight
to journey a wintry panorama and inhale the love
God has fashioned through Mother Nature falling from above.

as soft mounds of drifting snow caress mountain peaks
windchimes in the distance play while refrain gently speaks
a carriage ride through the park covered in purest white
accentuates the treasure of a Winter's cherished delight.

tiny droplets of snow kiss cold cheeks to blush
chilly temperatures tingle as toys of warmest plush
a joyous Season embraces as embers in a fireplace
crackle comfort as eyes enjoy rare beauty of white lace.

Eye Shadow

EYE SHADOW
-----------------
WOW!!!! 
I love the color and how
It accentuates the tone of your skin
Truly, it brings out the brilliance
Beaming bright from your face
As I gradually gaze
I lose myself in a daze
Simply amazed at the light
Leaping deep in my eyes

I'm flaring in flames with delight
From viewing this gorgeous site
Your color choice cascades 
Like a clique of crystal colored 
Clouds calmly caressing
The blue sky

Even the light from the sun 
Can't outshine the suave design 
Of the portrait displayed 
Right in front of me

But tell me something.........
How long does the liquid splashed
Upon this portrait last
Before the palms that painted it
Mark a smear with a mash

It is removable right?
It's severed at some point
The darkened dusk of the day
If I'm not mistaken

I mean, the mascara
Surrounding it meshes
At the tinge of a tear
The full ethereal effect
Of the face elapses
Evaporates in seconds
And all at once disappears

So, why persist in painting
Your pupils as if going to war
When bound in braids of beauty
Just the way you are?

Why continuously cope concealed
In optometrical colors
When one has already seen
And sees what the cosmetics cover?

Premium Member Confused

She asks him if her butt looks Big
In last years summer dress
My dear you look Hot in that 
It accentuates I must confess

And are these streaks too brassy
On my mousey shade of brown
My dear you pull it off with style
You wear it like a crown

She points to her crows feet
Are they getting worse each day
It lends character to your features
And that's my final say

Then she goes for closure
Will you love me till I die
I'll love you to the moon and back
He whispers with a sigh

So ladies the next time you declare 
In a voice so strong
That you are ALWAYS RIGHT  
And He is ALWAYS WRONG 

And if your man agrees with you
IS HE RIGHT OR WRONG???

Premium Member Outlined, At Twilight

Against sheer lace that filters in,
pink halos traced with white, 
she leans against the window's frame,
enveloped by the light

The pregnant pause, as twilight crowns
accentuates her form.
The beauty of her shape is drowned,
in mother-love transformed

Premium Member No Future Present Or Past

All that is left is scorched earth,
no future, present, or past.
For nukes have expunged Man's birth,
lost in the flash of their blast.

Intense heat melted the gold,
leaving only blood and gore.
And burnt the treasures of old,
nothing was spared by the war.

An eerie glow, worn by night,
now accentuates the dark.
And it lures me with its light,
past shadows empty and stark.

As this light restores some sight,
I'm amazed by what I find.
And realizing my plight,
I pray that death will be kind.

While all my hopes fall apart,
a plastic Jesus greets me.
And though its light lifts my heart,
it's clear, I'll soon cease to be.

Premium Member Morn

He shook the blanket and it fell
Tumbling over all trees
Bouncing upon the hillside far
Now veiled unclearly sees

Golden sun behind the blanket
Bright rays illuminate
In straight waves of bright yellow light
Soon day rejuvenates 

Roosters crow in dim light and damp
Their melodies supreme
The blanket settles in zizzag
Folks awaken from dreams

A stillness accentuates sound
Or the lack thereof
An eerie feel like the quiet
Before the storm above

As the dark featherweight clouds float 
Black as a widow's veil
One ray of hope in the charcoal
A pink colored cloud sails

Premium Member Humility Vs Ego

"Humility Vs Ego"

Humility is the Master Trait,
Controlling all the rest.
It minimises the lesser
And accentuates the best.

If ego is taking center stage,
Then also is ego fed pride.
Where these too are prevalent,
Humility cannot co-reside. 

Humility enables a person to 
Admit when they are wrong.
Humility keeps ego in check, 
Keeps it from being strong.

Humility's presence is required
In the maintenance of Love,
Enables trust and forgiveness
And all that Love's made of. 

Ego, when it is the ruler 
Of the self's heart and mind,
Allows in the lesser traits
Of the unpleasant kind.

Ego accepts no responsibility,
But instead, shifts the blame
To justify, wipe away the guilt,
To relieve the heart from shame.

But only humility can 
Keep free the heart and soul
From the shackles of the guilt,
Compromising the whole.

Ego is deceptive, a disguise,
Convincing the self to believe
In falseness instead of truth,
For to satan's seed conceive.

Humility must be practiced,
Felt within the heart, true.
Otherwise, satan's friend, ego,
Has made a successful coup.

For one to say they're humbled,
They must behave so and act.
For failure upon testing means
With satan they've made a pact.

Humility is of God.
He Demands this from us
Because He Knows 
This is our biggest plus.

To Love He Gives so Pure,
Humility opens the door.
Humility enables the healing
Humanity's searching for.

But humanity is too proud,
Too arrogant to concede,
Holding onto ego
And all its evil, feed. 

Humility is the Master Trait,
Most important above the rest,
For it unlocks the door to Pure Love,
The Gift from God, the Best!

Hollywood Starlet

Your ship will sink and your star will fall
So you'd better be prepared
I hope you're well seated when you hit that wall
And the spotlight dims its glare
You step from your car like a debutante
You have everything you could ever want
Have you stopped to consider the ones you snub
Are the ones that have put you there?
The diamond bracelet on your wrist
That accentuates your tan
Rakes the rocks across your skin
As you "shoo" away your fans
You've got more wealth than you could ever spend
But ya don't seem to have it when ya hear from a friend
And ya "won't be signing any autographs"
At the festival de Cannes
You must be aware that you're gettin' old
And ya bore the paparazzi (or so I'm told)
It's a pity your grace can't act for you
As well as your ego can.

Concentric

"Concentric"



Perfection
is a never ending story
with alternative endings, 
that never end 

"You're an oxymoron", she said

You stand on your shore 
skipping stones and thoughts
you concede, 
you’re caught in the pull 

between staying 
and leaving

circles small birthing larger 
circumferences that perpetuate
perfect waves 
like sound moving outwards

you could just lie down 
and close your eyes forever

but you would find yourself awake
back in the dream
never ending
it’s all an echo in a mirror, 

the reflection on the other side
accentuates what’s evading you

behind the closed windows
in the dark folds of your mind, 
IT calls
you bloom above the watermark

seeing it all, 
for once inside is open 

the tide hypnotic pulls you
further and further in
everything is split and spilling forward  
outwards and ever outwards 

inwards the larger circle pulls you in
you in the middle of it all, and leaving

which way to go 
as above
so below
you are Golden

the brilliant answer to it all, 
you are the key 
that turns in 
a lock that opens 

the equation 
unanswered 
the greatest mystery 
of IT all

Perhaps you are the Love 
worth waiting for ...
