Premium Member Richard Lamoureux

Figure of a man, constantly open

 Poetry marriage that makes him richer 

 Her heart and beauty a gift so golden

 Separate it would change, die, and wither

 
Friendship woven his unfailing embrace

Knowing   not about him; external blessed

Through unassuming nature God gives grace

Gratitude words spoken his life expressed


Love of the tall pine and Mckinley beach 

Journey hand in hand through umber forest

Embracing warm home, changed eyes within reach

Captive to lucid euphoric promise


Blessed interest with family and friends  

Personal journey of faith God ascends

Caliber

CALIBER

The mental quality of spirits is unveiled.
Anne saw them in imagery.
They were in small shapes as a displayed mural.
A bust of lives demised with estate being conveyed as an inhabitant or the occupier.
Their capacity was that of full animation and stream.
Anne watched the mystical images that were once all men.
Their colors came as black, white, and olive.

Attuned to their surroundings, they did not alter their position on the wall.
They desire was to rectify a wrong.
Calibers are competent to their form in which Anne was not afraid of being forewarned.

Anne began to name them the ones that she saw.
The black one was called Magic because he was the leader of them all.
There were two level of white men seated by rows.
Anne named them Parchment because of their lab coats.
The olive one was called Mixed-Blood.

Stature they formed with ability to construct.
The degree of their mental capacity paraded the capability of the physical you being possessed.
Might they enter via an oval of the body?
They haunted this house to influence cognizance.
Anne’s knowledge is such that she may not be aware of their existence from where they exist.
Ignorance is the perception Anne lived in.

Anne and her family moved from this house in her seventh year.
She saw their presence first when she was four.
Once Anne and her family left, she did not see them anymore.

Anne moved on Briesch when she was an infant.
She never spoke of what she saw until she relocated.
Anne’s mother stated that a veil was over her eyes, a pall of despair trying to develop premonition.

Caliber is a degree of mental capacity or moral quality.
Anne cultivated this identity.

Premium Member Autumns Hitch

Autumn surrounds the lake
Vibrancy vivacious, romantic
Blue in the rippling eye
Dark speck, a boat

Grows bigger and bigger
The laughter
Her auburn hair thrown back,
Her subtle loveliness
He stares at the landscape of love

Day bellows in briskness
And a tartan blanket
Smoothed on her lap

A sporty arm around her shoulder
Shadows falling effervescent
Sweethearts head for home

Trees retreat into dusk
Crunch of falling leaves underfoot
Spark of embers dying
Flame of color extinguished

Except for her lips
Pressed into his memory book
Soft, blush, frolic
Of a burgeoning wish

Small leaf adrift on tranquil waters
Occupier eyes the couple with jealousy
A miniature copy, this sister a faerie
Speckled toadstool over her head
She conjures a rainstorm
To get goody two shoes wet

But she slips into his arms
He asks

Rainstorm pulls the lovers along
To make a permanent hitch

A flying leaf, a faerie aboard
Stomps her teeny tiny feet
Wipes away her tears

Gives in, wishes well
For their happily ever after

Despair
By: Miracle Man
5/21/2021

Do you ever wonder just why you’re still here?
are the things in your life no longer held dear?
How can you combat these feelings of despair?
By reaching out to someone you know will care.

You should never feel, overwhelmed and alone,
you can take back your life but not on your own.
If crushed inside, and stress an occupier,
and distress is making your life a quagmire.

Each season of life brings some difficult change,
but don’t allow Satan your life to derange.
If you think you’ve reached the end of your rope,
just reach out to God, He alone is our hope.*

* Deuteronomy 31:6-
Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

Gleanings from My Pastor’s wife’s lesson.

The Paradox

"The Paradox" 

When we had crossed Styx
like a slow game of knuckles
we were thrown for a six 
it was like the party 
had kick started 
way ahead of time
without us

escape from the world
of fools is never easy
there, the breeze 
of freewill ceases
so we sat and let 
the oarsman paddle us
a cross

to where
we did not know
it was never Home

way ahead of us 
the sound of distant
merriment like 
fading church bells, 
ding dong Avon
calling, some kind 
of fayre ball, 

perhaps Avalon,
to us it was like 
taking a sip of - well,
no sugar coating for this,
a bitter haunted tincture 
laced with false promise,
dangling nebulous Utopia

somewhere behind us
the noose called thought
stood in a numbered cell
pacing back and forth,
sometimes the occupier
would play dead,
lie still, back to the wall

then turning, 
engrave another mark
into the wall, counting time, 
watching it fall
dust to dust
ash to ash
with the other sods; 

the paradox?
One wants it to end, 
then one does not;
the grand mal heart 
seizing in to mind
the bittersweet 
contradiction?

to have and 
to have not

(LadyLabyrinth / 2023)







“Avalon will always be there 
for all men to find 
if they can seek the way thither, 
throughout all the ages past the ages. 
If they cannot find the way to Avalon, 
it is a sign, perhaps, 
that they are not ready."

Premium Member Nelson the Terrorist


Nelson Mandela was the man
the west loathed him
he wasn't white
he wasn't rich
he stood for the oppressed
not the South African white mobsters
that locked him up, undressed
he was a terrorist
or so they said

And now?
he's on your postage stamps
so lets prey for the day
when you learn the truth
thank-you Sinwar
for standing with humanity

There is no peace with an occupier
one cannot rest with a vile viper
ready to choke you
if anyone has doubts
go sleep in a gas chamber
then do pray
tell me how that works out

A Celebration In Spring

The winter and the spring are intermingling;
some days warmth and sun; some cold and rain,
and the flora that is needing reconditioning
swell their buds, and start greening once again,
and on the clothesline wire,
or dead branch on a briar,
soon become the occupier 
of my backyard where begins a season reign.
A pair of eastern spinebills have concluded,
that the fork in a ti-tree is just right,
for they seem to think it’s fairly well secluded
to raise a family from, an egg until flight;
bottlebrush and fuschia,
emu bush and correa,
heath and grevillea,
provide the nectar their blooming does invite;
but every predator, they’re seeking prey,
for their makeup is depending on protein;
secrecy is a must, to keep hunters at bay, 
and diversion tactics do provide a screen,
from a hawk and cat,
butcherbird and rat,
a cunning raven that
enjoys young tender chicks in their cuisine;  
but day by day the brood keeps growing bigger,
with mum and dad kept busy on the wing,
and within two weeks the chicks are full of vigor,
so leave the nest to face what futures bring;
what a pleasant scene -
see them perch and preen,
two replicas yet to wean,
and truly a celebration in the spring.

Thinly Wangmo, Yogini

Thinly Wangmo,  Yogini.

Thinly Wangmo, a Tibetan too,
Rode on her horse this way,
Invasion came, Chinese, like rain,
No where, to get away?

Chinese war lord, occupier.
Captured  her out a riding.
A nasty sod, an Asian clod.
His anger, there residing.

Belted bashed, almost to death ,
By a thorn branch, merciless,
She catches of a final breath,
And gallops off a laughing.    

And knowing well n understood,
She knows it’s for her earthly good,
This belting she earned by wood.
Life time, she was a charmer,
Absolving, her bad karma.

Thinly made an instant prayer,
While  bashing, 
 she was a suffering there,
That others might be spared ,
A lovely little charmer!

Chinese chased and caught Thinley,
Her wounds had healed surprisingly,
Came back some Chinese dignity,
He knew she was amazing see,
He asked, for him, she pray,
She did the day he died…Don Johnson

Constance La France ~ A Rambling Poet ~ contest


Thinly, is a true happening.


It is part of a Buddist book.
from which i browsed ,
and thoughts betooked
and there of Thinly,
she Tibetan sage.

Seen good n bad and often sad,
some of terrifying....

long as it flows babe...xox...Don

A Dirge From My Shrieked Silence

to my every step,
there’s a uniformed man
whose hands are soaked,
in blood of my brethren
would kill me,
if I resist to be oppressed
senses of the world leaders get defunct,
when there’s any question of violations in my homeland
how can I agree with the comment of heaven!!!
my eyes are witness to red color streets & rivers only!
I see children battling for eyesight & life
I see myself in sand of despondency
my pen also failed,
as it tried to console me by writing colorful words
day & night, all the time my soul asks me a same question:
am I still alive??
as after witnessing the bloodbath,
I had bought my shroud…

the wails of those who mourn,
are reverberating in my soul
who knows what life is! none in this country
torn clothes have become nightmares for women
crowd as timorous for children
every corner of my homeland has become a corpse alike
I see my diary full of blood whilst writing my ordeal
the blood of my brethren I see,
is the answer to your curiosity
I do not see any colour except red,
as it has become my identity
my Kashmir is my Kashmir,
choked on earth for its spellbinding beauty
now birds & trees have also learnt how to offer funeral prayers
as we have been caged by our occupier
no people are needed, my oppressor says
but to show its deceitful care to the world, I’m integral to him
now my eyes do not see the dreams of mounts, gardens, esthetics of my Kashmir
they only see coffins of children being ferried to graveyards
and still I’ve a question,
am I still alive? or it’s a reverie…

The Disgrace

The disgrace 

So, it is coming to an end
and the lesson that will not be learned is this:
the occupied people will not love the occupier.
The army of the Kabul government is melting away
the soldiers know. they will even if they won
a battle or two, lose, the Taliban are the people
Of the Pashtun are as strong as hemp.
The west has to live with the knowledge of having lost and work out what can be done.
The women might be the biggest losers
if the Taliban rulers, chose to follow their strict interpretation of the religion, 
one hopes not.
So many ruined countries come to mind 
Everything the west touches in the east is degraded
to dust, death and rusty weaponry.

The Candidates

The candidates for world dominance 

The contenders who want to sit on the highest branch on the tree of power should 
not be elected because they want it too badly
Theirs are a grab for dominance for its own sake and if lucky the book of history, 
the part where leaders are remembered, we know Saddam Hussein, Stalin and Hitler 
they too are remembered by history and given enough time will be Admired and 
books will be written in their defence
The contenders talk about trade meaning high finance, not a factory that produces 
products and employ people, they mean the banks, money lenders.

They fear ordinary people but keep us enslaved by debt we should take a stand
as they do in Palestine, who are spied upon day and night, yet the truth slips through
 the occupier can arrest you for a joke. 
No one lived here before we came it all belong to us as they proudly lie to themselves
as they slowly sink into the apathy of a frozen culture and self-loathing.
Tomorrow it will be your turn to be arrested for speaking your mind.

Traitor Or Hero

Traitor/Hero

It was half dark in the yard where a group of men with heavy overcoats stood, this was a Nordic country and cold.
We´re freedom fighters but out enemy the occupier of our country, called us terrorists. A bald man showed us how he could subdue a dog by violence and he broke the dog till it licked his hand. We were going to blow up a train, I was given a packet of sandwiches to eat when on the run.
I walked out and saw the building surrounded  by soldiers, the dog too was there I bent down to give it something to eat when the shooting started and there were much screaming, blood and noise my disguise flew
 off- hat and wig- and I was bald also.
When I got up the shooting had stopped and I walked away followed by the dog, apparently they thought I was the person who had helped them.
A high ranking officer thanked me for saving so many lives.... he offered me a safe haven. Praise from the enemy of my country, knew I was doomed, history would call me a traitor, and there is no safe haven for that.
Meanwhile the man who was cruel to the dog would never be caught.

Premium Member Battle of the Coaches

Keep winning
with your same old competitive ********,
said the life coach,
To avoid future losses.

What are the key capital investment opportunities,
asked the financial coach,
That keep Business As Competitively Usual
building larger homes,
expanding sacred cathedrals,
triumphing Win-or-Lose public servants
calculating democratic divestment of losers?

Watch out for competing over-investment
in ostensibly cooperative purposes,
trusts,
concerns,
collective incorporations for good,
warned the occupier coach,
growing life for mutual love empowerment,
bilateral and multilateral winning health,
wealth,
wellness,
happiness,
welfare of all residents

Whether by "birthright"
or whether by birthwrong need
of a more liberally safe and free sacred space
to live cooperative love
without fear of RightWing ballistic incursions,
rape,
plunder,
abuse,
neglect

Health of truth and beauty winning
robust multicultural love
restoring ecotherapeutic justice.

All residents win through mutually occupying health care
giving 
and receiving 
and communicating nutritional wealth 
with more cooperative communion intent
revolting against WinLose
unto LoseLose anti-rapturous devolutionary assumptions,
bad faith,
lack of hope,
where we would instead grow love,
karmic expectation,
positive psychology incarnation,
ecological and theological correlational relationship.

RightWing coaches and technicians:
Please conservatively challenge assumptions
that healthy engines of capital green success
should
would
or even logically could
unilaterally assume continued growth
of future wealthy
life-systemic successes.

Relentless continued growth
within a living,
breathing,
heart-beating organism,
society,
culture,
nation
we usually discover as rabidly cancerous
once we become mature adult mindbody systems
of natural healthy Spirit
and/or wealthy spiritually balancing NatureBodies

Said the occupy healthy life coach.

Corporate Life

Lead me home,
Away from these fires
And compromises of dreams inside,
Still existing, slowly deteriorating

Make no mention across
The boardroom desk of a 
Yearning heart. Bad form.
Bloody up the forecast.

Wipe clean the plate
For the next green leathered occupier
To present their return on no investment.
Earnings after taxes, depreciated.

With composed discharge, 
Diminish the minions.
Walk away from the policy
And procedure of souls seeking comfort
With tiny voices,
Terminate and restructure, build and repurpose 
In a careful edit. 
Blind copy coconspirators, then press send.

Feed the lion the monthly meat
And while he gorges, hunt for more.
Until you are served up.
