Premium Member A New Son Named Arch

Prince Harry and wife's new son is named Arch
He was born in May instead of in March
   He looks kind of cute
   In his new white suit
I guess Meghan went easy on the starch

Arch of Color

Stretching across sky,
Reminder of the promise;
Wonderfully displayed.

Premium Member Concrete Arch - Pi In the Sky

The humble arch, so simple, so profound, so powerful
                     The arch is Pi in the sky, a curved concrete crescent
                                    Supporting span of bridge or lintel
                          Inspired by rainbow,       waxing and waning moon  
                     Instilled by foot arch,               caterary chain suspended
                Upper segment of circle,                   Pi with curved bowed legs.
          Compress concrete crush                          resolves, eliminates tension.
     Keystone at apex of arch                                       locks stack array of blocks
With Roman arch a symbol,                                            old concept straggling time


Where My Colorful Rainbow's Arch Ends

Where my colorful rainbow's arch ends,
cosmos gleam on dark blue spectrums.

Beyond the infinite celestial realms, 
another solar system overwhelms. 

No other rainbow is alike mine,
it was drawn to withstand time. 

And it returns from time to time,
to lull me with a nursery rhyme.

All the wonders cannot compare,
this one is the only one I declare.

Where my colorful rainbow's arch ends,
placidity reigns; no storm ever rages.

His Arch Angel Michael Twelve Stars the Sun

You know, tis somewhat easy to understand Apollyon as your
Crew holding a tad bit, in misery projecting towards an imperfect
Time but cool kids just never hold signs I mean Abaddon can't you see
Kind of like Toad The Wet Sprocket's, in the end I'm sensing a change the weather
Does anyone remember me ? Did you all think we'd just disappear ? Crazy life....
Swoosh his tail their Angels fell: metaphoric make-up twas her modern tale: sitting
Atop the sea sweet, drunken Jezabel ? Spawned his bastard Damien's, tattooed dreams
Six pence collections thrice their infections blue blood injections Legion's, special olympics
Lucifer's serpents raging towards the golden goal evanescent's mountaintop his goad keeper goblins
Pressing this matter it's silver sickle auld lang syne her bride of Frankenstein; Electra thighs, red rum wine.

The Bridge For Departed Souls :The Legend of Arch Rock

She-Who-Walks-In-Mist,
Lovely maiden, daughter of a chief.
Her lips had never been kissed,
When she was left to lie in grief.

Many braves had adored her,
Many had asked for her hand.
But she already loved another,
A brave not of this land. 

She could love only one,
He was Evening Star, high above.
Watching over her until he came down,
Proclaiming to her, his own love.

The chief, enraged at his daughters affair,
Lashed her hands and feet, determined 
she be alone.
He took her to the Turtle Island in despair,
and laid her upon a massive ledge of 
limestone.
 
So many tears she cried, day after day,
Until, at last, he descended for her once 
again.
Her tears had melted the rock beneath her 
away,
Just as Evening Star carried her to the 
heavens.

She gazed upon the arch her pain had 
made below,
The rock that her own tears had crumbled 
apart.
Leaving a bridge for departed souls,
From tears that could not melt her father's 
heart.


Premium Member Dog's Arch Nemesis

Dog's arch nemesis
coolly lurking on tree branch
protected by glass

coyly mocking dog inside
sinister plotting next move

Premium Member Seven-Colored Arch

Up above
black clouds cry heavily
I sympathize the sky
that a good day can't come by
in due time
the darkness scattered
and the heavens
bless the town with a
seven-colored arch
I go outside
and stand before it
embracing its amazing grandeur
I see a city on the other side of the arch
I walk through the portal
ending up in a city of gold

Arch Angel

the gound quakes and evil mens bones ache!he flys god sky allthe days of his life!he is a warrior from heaven above but still in his heart he holds great love!afirey sword he holds in his hand too kill the demons that no man can!gods greatest angel you will ever see the arch angel micheal hes my friend too the very end!mes with him and you will seegod great vengence will come apoe thee!

Premium Member Execution - Collaboration

Despair of spectres whispered, John heard it muttered
Fears spoken, centuries of shame sunk into stone
Hanging tree hoisted him, feet above ground fluttered
Rope bound neck bulged, blood starved eyes shuttered

Aghast, entertainment starved spectators absorbed gore
Under his breath they heard it uttered, 
" I am among the lowliest, and the last"
Sentiment collected by authorities,  soon to outlaw
Heinous hangings of criminals and martyrs

Testiment to the cruelty, trademark of cessation 
Clouds of purest doves spun above the atrociousity
Tyburn' s turbulent history viewed at Marble Arch 
Has John's pledge to thank for returning compassion

The Arch

Did I notice the arch 
The bend in me 
That caused the shift 
When did it begin 
When did I start manifesting it 
Do I even know why 
Why I was so desperate for a change 
Yes I know why 
Of course I do 
Because what I said I would never be 
I had fully become 
A mediocre shell 
Giving 50% of everything in my life 
Surprised by my own unhappiness 
Aware that self-actualization is my goal 
But too lost to fight for it 
Too confused to forge the path 
Too much into my own pity party 
That I missed the opportunity 
Missed opportunities
And would continue missing them
Until I took a stand 
And stood up for my life 
For my tomorrow 
So the arch happened 
And now I know it can be done 
Which I’ll need reminding of 
Realistically more than once 
But the shift has at least begun

Arch Angel of the Fallen

my wings have been burnt 
I fell from above bending my halo 
shattering the silence of reality 
and tarnishing my soul 
white turns to black as evil takes hold 
hang on for dear life as it ends for now 


I’m the archangel of the fallen 
queen of the damned goddess of the darkness 
tears fall down in streams of sorrow 
breaking the rhythm of heartbeats born tomorrow 
I’m the archangel of the fallen 
and your wishes for sin are my burden 

my eyes stare through your pain 
no more mysteries remain it’s all unleashed 
a fury raging from within addiction is a curse 
creeping from the past is a ghost of distaste 
screaming through the night to fight it 
the will to deter it doesn’t falter 
sobriety is my one and only answer 

I’m the archangel of the fallen 
queen of the damned goddess of the thoughtless
tears fall down in streams of sorrow 
breaking the rhythm of heartbeats born tomorrow 
I’m the archangel of the fallen 
and your wishes for sin are my burden 

darkness shrouds my past, mystery shrouds my future 
and living in the moment is all I have to offer 
the tattered remains of sanity cling with caution 
I’ve had one too many falls and failing is no option 
fading faster than the twilight is good verse evil 

the ruptured light reflects my face in the mirror 
disguising what I really am.. The archangel of the fallen

Under the Arch

Darkened, over worked souls, balance on the tips of stiletto daggers. 
Stabbing inflicted under the keystone of the longitudinal arch.
Warm black tongues glide from the vamp section atop the toe box to the tight shaft.
Though in pain she limps down the catwalk

Sneaky Jeja

While walking past this tree
I thought it said 
"Can I have your sandwich"
I thought
"Did you speak to me"
He stuck out his hand and doubled it and took it
Before i said "yes"
Without a twitch 
I handed it over again and laughed all the way home
What a cheeky Sneaky Jeja tree.

Amen.

Premium Member Stuck In the Arch

There are few better-known national landmarks as this.
Here is the famous Gateway Arch in St. Louis.
Each year, this is something many tourists come to see.
It is the most prominent sight in this Midwest City.
This seems like a good place to spend a summer Saturday.
There are free concerts and a nighttime fireworks display.

What a lousy day to visit a place I would choose.
The trams on their way to the top must have blown a fuse.
These things have stopped moving.  I am stuck about halfway.
Some folks wonder if they will ever get out today.
It is quite uncomfortable as the air is stifling.
We know what summer is like without air conditioning.
With nowhere to go, and nothing to do,
I can only patiently wait this episode through.

However, among the other passengers riding along,
I see a young female with blonde hair that is long.
She appears too beautiful for a woman to exist.
With such heavenly looks, she is difficult to resist.
There is nobody else with her in the tram today.
Looking at her makes me want to get up and say:
“Hello there young lady with the beautiful face,
how about a cup of coffee after we leave this place?”
