Premium Member 'Be Patient'
It took me awhile to comprehend 
  the true significance of "be patient."
     We've heard it all before,
        but it's funny how we often fail
        ...

Dependence
You’ve got a hold on me
And won’t let me forget
My need for you, arguably
Is as severe as needs get

I can’t see beyond
A me without you
Without my dear wand
What, ever, would I do

Would I succumb to death
Departing by choice
Or find something left 
Without your voice

I have...

The Bleeding
I flung my bloodied bathrobe onto a dusty mahogany bureau and roared: “Did we frighten
the scarecrows tonight, my love? Whose catch was it anyway? Yours or mine? We invited 10
guests to our dungeon this evening. Ten unfortunates who needed to be bled! Ten minus nine
equals...

An Open Relationship
Social settings have stigma attached to this. 
Atmospherically climactic negative correlations sustain society. 
Civilized individuals are naturally monogamous; serially… 
On the other hand gender segregated facility.

Men and woman,
***** and vagina,
Birds and bees,
Conditions and stipulations…

A rule book is the Illusion-Larry governor of our entire moral existence....

Premium Member Maybe It Was Eleanor
Ever wonder where big ideas come from?

Memories of FDR
from newsreel clips -
a lion-headed striking man
with rakish grin,
jaw jutting proudly, 
signature cigarette holder
clenched in his teeth
tilted ever upward...
soaring to the heavens
as he cruises by
waving to admirers
in his convertible coupe.

Short List FDR Credits:
New Deal, WPA, Social Security,...

The Conflict Within
Conflicts have raged upon the disputed soils of earth since before men began to record them.  But there have been other conflicts less recorded, less lauded, but more redoubtable, oh, so much more.  These were no less bloody than those who drained the...

My Dear Sweet Boy
If anything, please know I tried
I tripped, slipped and fell behind
I came up short, with empty hands
With two left feet, I tried to dance

I never fit inside the lines
The artist had a structured mind

Inside my head, the music played
The world around, I would evade
I imagined...

Premium Member Representative of Power, Renaissance and Modern Civilization
The correlation between the bull and its southern identity,
most likely gives significance to its “calf land” description.
The labour room where renaissance was born
and historically grown through Michelangelo, Donatello, Da Vinci and others.

Finds great contentment in the treasury of the family.
Its empire once hitting heights way...

Platonic Lust
It is self tormenting
and arguably a case of poetic voyeurism
I do not like muses
I like them closer than that
no definition, just being there
the style, the perfume
and art of a persona
sitting next to me, talking
while I, for a brief span of a second
close my eyes and...

Premium Member The Tree
When I look at a tree
enchanted I am by
grand height and width,

luxurious foliage, plush branches
on display – somewhat jealous
of apparent supportive appeal, 

birds that sing and play in the sway,

such vibrant array; their home,
a natural sanctuary, perhaps
an outdoor cathedral where they also
pray?

I recall a Psych-professor,...

Yonce
There is freedom in her beauty.  A confidence that comforts me deep in my soul.  I am in awe.  Purely.  She may as well be flying, I cannot take my eyes from her wings that spread wide as the sky. ...

Poem Xxii - Chameleon
Black. White. Blue. Pink. Orange. I'll blend in. Tall, short, cold, warm. I'll blend in. She likes to remain calm, she likes to scream or maybe even lean. I'll blend in. People always playing cautious as if they got something to lose. Put in nothing,...

Walrus
The Walrus, he is an ugly brute, 
Made entirely out of rubber, 
Lounging on the shore all day, 
Like discarded old whale blubber.
 
Sea Lion on the other hand, 
Is arguably, I think quite cute, 
Gliding along the beach at play, 
In his slick grey...

Politics - Time To Change
Privately educated, privileged backgrounds .……no problem per se …….…but ......we're led by these plum in mouth toffs by the troughful.…... their snouts in the pockets of the electorate, creaming the real workers of cash for taxes .…....so long as they're okay with backhanded deals and...
