The Price of Last Night
Waking to sight of day
The ironic disorientation
bedroom ceiling moviescreen 
fades out this dreams last scene
left looking dumbfounded at tiles

Sunrays shine splintered through bent blinds
  casting illuminous entities into otherwise
darker turf
  Blanket tangles limbs and ambition tight
traversing body and shielding one eye
 guarding it...

HOME. By Ted Bundy

There is a place not far from here where purple maggots are the size of deer, pink frogs are there wearing bowties  and hats, now put your hands together for the rolling skating rats. Green fluorescent tawny owls are snorkelling in...

Smelling the Coffee On the Isle of Skye
The smiling loch gives a welcome
Along with the vigorous pine,
Time to recharge the soul
And smell the coffee on the Isle of Skye.

Misty mountains of mystery
Are a drug with a natural high,
And offer more to discover
Sipping coffee on the Isle of Skye.

The landscape changes each minute
As...

Lessons From Nature
Upon His soul leaving the body it once rested in,
a storm of atramentous clouds formed over the mountain top
that we once stood upon like kings.
Loss caused the quaking thunder
to shake the foundation of my heart,
and in the midst,
lightning struck and severed a piece in the...

A Rare Bird
A rare bird. 




A rare bird is he with feathers illuminous red and green; 

a bird that only few will ever see and perhaps twas meant to have been. 

This bird flies free over mountains and through the mind of a dream; 

escaping all barriers...

Starstruck
I stood starstruck in the midst of an angel.
Her beauty shines brighter than the North.
Guiding me to a heavenly haven
from the surrounding hellish terrain.
Her eyes, induced with the illuminous grace
of a full moon among dark skies.
Able to shed light among the black pitched darkness.
My passion...

Premium Member Sense of a Gullible Mind
Sense of distinct judgment hides in the mud
not thinking is this brain confined in a gourd
an atheist gets numinous
bad sense so illuminous
embraces fully the lies, vague and the odd....

Take Me Back To Alode By Jonah Okpabi
The land is soaked with blood
The sand is soaked with tears
Oh
How many barrels of blood must be spilled
to know that so many souls are gone?
How many basins of tears does it take
to have more than enough tears?
.
I am the voice of the little child
crying in...

Sistah Girl
Sistah girl 
Your smile 
Lights the 
World 
Your brown 
Skin 
So rich 
And smooth
Arms stretch
Wide
Accepting and releasing
Love
Your natural 
Movements
So graceful
And sexy
Sistah girl
Your hands
Small and nibble
Can heal anything
Strong; they would
Never let go 
Of the people 
And things
That matter most
Sistah girl 
Love Yourself
In and Out 
Because you...

Dancing In the Rain
Large pearl water drops drip from the sky

Fall onto my skin

Slide down my body

Large pearl water drops drip from the sky

Making my clothes stick

Securing my hair to my face

Large pearl water drops drip from the sky

Forming puddles for me to splash in

Quenching Earth's thirst

Large pearl...

Morning Plight
Morning, you onerous tease
with your welcoming light
gifting illuminous sight
what have you brought forth
an awakening
to move and to hope
in the woe of day
but upright I fear not...

Return From Andromeda
Hemisphere of the North on a Winters Night
Nocturnal shores in illuminous light
soaring heights on a scale so hugely vast
in dark lanes of Andromeda's grasp.

Intricate waves of the cosmic rays
in spiral voids of the Milky Way
to the planets sheets of the Stellar Star
100 million or more...
