Premium Member true, true, true, true true

We’re just being ourselves
We’re not presenting ourselves
on a plate, commodifying ourselves.

We’re refined and pared-back—plain
but with an intriguing complexity.

We’re simple and indestructible,
our diasporic styles, assembled in a frenzy
by spontaneous instinct, need no audience.

You’ll find us in the coffee shops, the libraries
streaming and scrollin’ to unheard, noise-cancelled, beats
or in the bars kickin’—let the music play—I can’t talk much about it.

We’re not overly thought-out, sure, we ruminate, but then we’re
automatic rather than laboured, creative without overthinking.

We’re emotional and immediate, but clearly avoiding
slightly scurrilous condom entanglements—yeah
—there are reasons. true, true, true, true true.

Premium Member An Assessment of the Fire's Immediate Aftermath

Three hours suppressed before breaching the tight-lipped 
container left neatly wrapped in homogenous foam 
and smoky demeanor. Its lid caved in, having been tapped.

Through misspoken holes sprung arcadian visions, 
lacking Peloponnese disposition, still semi-smoldering 
with the tinder touch of Hephaestus extracted from 

less subtle artistry attributed Zeus, high up on his steed, 
bare-chested. Arms crossed.
How he used to look down on we mortals, wee, buttressed 

by oxygen, in two-
parts hydrogen, one-part dioxide.
But this was real, not some Florescent church.

Outside the perimeter lay black stacks of texts I had gradually 
gathered through time’s non-existence, way back when time 
weighed as factual matter.  Of course they still mattered.

Yet, I chose them to lay there, bathed in the soot of three daughters
I failed to veil.  What do you say, Rita Dove?  to wear
my white-skinned daughters spun lesser as still lovelier silk?

Is there anything clumsier to misappropriate than weather-vane hate, 
with its gallant gait, with its augmented pigmentation,
when there’s no room in storage?

A grey-haired protestant behind me prayed;

“Oh, Thank God!  
 Oh! Thank God”

He praised through my bedroom window’s socket, shocked to shatter
by fire, fresh come splattered beard.  I had not known him prior, this man I would learn was a fair-weather friar.  So; I blew him a kiss.  

But in my eyes,
he saw an unwell wish, so;

                                                            It needs to be done with this.

PERFECTION,
The type written page,
SIMPLICITY
No matter the age.

COMPLETED,
The document mailed,
NO MISTAKES
It told a tale.

FOLDED
In a envelope of satin
IN THE CORNER,
An emblem in Latin.

RETURN ADDRESS
Written in gold
INSIDE THE WORDS,
Had never been told.

RECEIVED,
By the messenger, then on to the guard
SUCH A RAINY NIGHT
In the Palace court yard.

SECURITY,
Trying not to be seen,
PASSED IT ON
To her Majesty The Queen.

IMMEDIATE ACTION,
She picked up the phone,
SEND THIS TO ALL
Who sit on a throne.

A COMMONER,
You might well know it,
BUT THIS MESSAGE OF PEACE
Could only come from a poet.

The that that is
Immediate and intimate
Ecstatic bliss fizz
Bubbling joy that elates

A silent explosion
The elixirous bliss current
Slow motion ignition
Melts in the space element 

Each pore a door
We can feel it on our skin
As bliss inpours 
Percolating deep within 

Space layers subtle 
It is right here before our eyes
Touch of Gods miracle 
Felt in silence by sages wise

Identified no more with form,
with spatial silence as the norm,
poised in stillness, one with the all,
we feel God’s touch, tender and warm.

No images left to recall,
our vaporised presence stands tall,
as pure awareness self-aware,
bolstered by a benign bliss squall.

This revelation which we share,
is for those souls who choose to pair,
with love and light in heart aflame;
aura of soul we always wear.

closer than our skin
spiralling thoughts blur
truth of existence
innate awareness

choosing to pause

we abide in

so simple

Ballad of Roma

The day was tender when they met,
their mouths were roses, warm and wet.
The earth held still, the sky leaned nigh—
yet theirs was a love already bound to die.

Her hands were lilies, trembling, white,
his heart a torch that burned the night.
The wind bent low, the stars drew nigh—
yet theirs was a love already bound to die.

“O angel, I cannot breathe without you,”
he whispered into shadows’ blue.
Her silence cut, her rage was high—
yet theirs was a love already bound to die.

Her laughter shattered like broken glass,
his smile remembered the fields they’d passed.
She turned away, the world asked why—
yet theirs was a love already bound to die.

Beneath the willow he pressed his face,
the soil drank tears, the roots gave grace.
His body trembled, he could not lie—
yet theirs was a love already bound to die.

The winds that once had stroked their skin
now screamed like wolves that clawed within.
The sun went blind, the rainbow shy—
yet theirs was a love already bound to die.

“Roma is queen, now wed to the king,
forget the touch, forget the spring.”
The fairy whispered, soft, awry—
yet theirs was a love already bound to die.

His chest collapsed, a cave of fire,
his blood a river of lost desire.
He cried so loud the stones replied—
yet theirs was a love already bound to die.

Upon his bed of ash he lay,
a candle flickered itself away.
He dreamed her lips, her shadowed sigh—
yet theirs was a love already bound to die.

She came at last, her beauty whole,
her fingers thawed his freezing soul.
He kissed her name, and then he died—
yet theirs was a love already bound to die.

And when he fell to endless sleep,
her wail shook heavens, oceans deep.
The world grew deaf, the night replied—
yet theirs was a love already bound to die.
