Premium Member Essential Questions

The essential question we have at hand

Was it God who created man
Or was God an invention of a Jewish clan

Is the Bible the word of the Divine
Or a narrative spawned from human minds

Did Jesus arise from the grave
Or was his body simply stolen away

The answer to these questions holds eternal weight
And both sides require an element of faith

My intellect finds more evidence for a risen Jesus
Than for my ancestors evolving from a rhesus

Essential Spirits

She was like Bordeaux,
a tall drink of spirit
He was more a hopped
pale lager like Pilsner, 
both gorgeous and
super gingered flavors,
although clashing mid
respective savored aplomb,
one so refined the other
rowdy after hours,
yet they complimented
each other in the way
they blended their
drunken demeanors, 
intoxicated by mere
existence of nature's
essential complexities

Premium Member Seven Essential Items I'D Save From a Fire

If my house was on fire
I would grab some attire
To go outside in the nude
Would be considered rude!

If my house was on fire
One thing I would require
Would be my mobile phone
I’d call my hubby and moan

If my house was on fire
The item I’d most desire
Would be my laptop
Else my writing would stop

If my house was on fire
Yellow flames going higher
I’d grab my wedding ring
All my jewelry and bling

If my house was ablaze
I’d search through the haze
To grab my passport
Useful for the airport

If my house was full of smoke
It would not be a joke
I’d grab my new purse
No cash or keys would be a curse

If my house was burning 
I would be quite discerning
I’d take a box of hair dye
Stray gray hairs I must deny!

Essential Lavender

Gnarled and woody its base erupts with
   Greyish green leaves, all veiled in hairs,
        That contain the magic oil,
              To balance the body.
            Scented mauve flowers
                      Added in tea,
                      Perfect drink,
                              Relax
                                 Me.


My first attempt at a nonet. Inspired by reading one by Emile Pinet.

Essential Questions

“Why?” I spelled out with my finger on my bathroom mirror
A pair of green eyes glared back at me through the wavy letters
I looked behind me but when I turned back the steam from my shower had washed away my essential 
question, and the eyes.
I raised my hand and felt the cool mirror on my open palm as I cleared a space hoping to find the eyes under 
the thick layer of gray haze
There they were again, the pair of eyes, but this time a small pink mouth accomplanied it and a blurred vision 
of the rest of the face.
Suddenly a cloud of thick steam englufed the farmiliar look.
I raised my palm again, and with a circling motion I could see the green ovals sparkling
I breathed in deeply and felt calmed as I inhaled a cloud of steam, clearing my throat I stared into the eyes 
until they faded.
I was curious
“Who?” I spelled out with my finger on my bathroom mirror.
Hoping to see the face again
I stopped my running shower, and as if this were the answer the face reappeared.
This wasn’t enough.
“Why?” I tried to write over the face.
This didn’t work.
 I asked it out loud.
I screamed it out loud.
I whispered it to myself.
Could this question not be answered?
Such a simple question
Yet another?
Such a complicated answer
“Who?” I tried again
The face stared back at me in frusteration, she knew something that I knew as well.
I realized
I nodded at the face and the face nodded back to me
We both knew.

Essential

We can smell the fear in their voice

we can feel the anger on their breath

celebrate the inner

detox their guilt

choose calm

re access...

search for your star
and claim it...

Enjoy the journey...

The positive peaceful mindset
looks on...

...As more and more idiots...
have inattentive moments...

Premium Member Essential Service During Lockdown

There was a girl at the height of her youth

Big bosomed and slim and yet quite uncouth

Then a virus took hold

She had been quite controlled

And then developed a rather sweet tooth


Will be good for your breast milk so God will

This catholic nation forbids the pill

No coil and no rubber

But he would not snub her

Took them to bed and demanded his fill


Her pastor advised a chastity belt

Helps protection in times of great svelte

And dries up his quill

Seed cannot instill

So your grand midsection cannot be swelled 


But her pangs would not stop food ingestion

She did not even get indigestion

So tight at the waist

No good to be chaste 

To do it or not was thus the question


Before I pop we must look for the key

But no cohabitation you will agree

No sex my sweetheart

Till death do us part

But the right pick remained an absentee


Then she burst like an inflated balloon

And they consumed passion at a full moon

Twins round and perfect

Whats cause and effect

Philosophy can be rather opportune


Was the girdle the faulty solution

Human nature or too much volution

Adipose tissue

Some other issue

That triggered seminal ‘pollution’
 

Moment of madness due to pandemic

Birth rites or something more academic

Epicure’s garden

Or simply a hard one

Time revealed it was rather systemic


So what’s the climax of this fine account

Could the fertile villain truly be found

The friend here at task

Knocked with a face mask

It was the kind milkman during his round

Premium Member Essential To Life

the breath of winter
encased by the falling snow

Written for Seashell's
Winter Poetry Contest

Essential-Value

You can pay me to think but cannot pay me to give a damn

Tell me what to think not force me what to feel

Show me all the differences we have but not make be empty

You can spend your money on what you would like but only time can buy me

Show me everything is real everything you see and everything you feel

Tell me you will set aside your wallet place the hour glass for an hour

Give me just a moment of time so we could enjoy the things that shouldn't cost

Everything that should never be attempted to be bought 

Now close your eyes so I have attention, listen to another life that has no pension 

Lend me some time its got no value yet priceless and better and never ending

The Essential Stage

I could rip my heart out 
and lay it upon this page 
I could take time and count 
all the Isolated days 
I can sit and pray about 
the end of this pain 
Only to find out 
This is the essential stage. 

For any prayers that exist 
and may bring about change 
We see now with this 
they've never came my way 
I can sit with the intent 
that time will end this some day 
Or I can accept it 
This is only the essential stage. 

This rough water ocean 
the home to this stage 
remains out spoken 
till this very day 
My mind is still open 
though controversial to say 
but my will is broken 
This is the essential stage.
