I lived ... once
I loved and laughed and ached from my marrow
I spoke my soul, and spun my mind to my innervation and impulse
Swam up spirits to the source of their dreams and passions

I moved and breathed and thrived
Slept and soared and savored the tang...

Premium Member When Life Encounters Opaque Space
When gusty winds blow, riling my troubled dawn in gelid woes
Squall of my throes dissipates in scented whiffs of budding rose.

As brazen fog shrouds mind, heightening my grief, poking fun 
Defyingly I step out in glinting rays of the dawning golden sun.

Refusing to surrender when...

I’ve never been where they’ve been,
chasing the mirage in the desert storm.
I look into their tranced eyes,
see their vision transfixed on illusion,
the shroud of ruse spreads on sneaky people.

The gleam of oasis out of their sight,
they lie on wasteland like dry shadow of trees
that have...

Premium Member Her Thoughts Were Opaque
Her thoughts and amusements were opaque. Blocked in a defensive wall.
Early hurt feelings had caused this, said her empathetic spiritual advisors 
She had learned at a young age the wisdom of keeping her emotions inside.
She had been burned early. Sharing feelings where they were not...

Premium Member Opaque Tears
Staring in from the outside
I was always looking through opaque windows
At posers and name droppers
I thought perhaps that they were superficial
A façade of face
With no substance 
But I found them everywhere
How could such a conspiracy go unnoticed?
Was I the only one on the outside?
Surely there...

Premium Member Obliquely Opaque
obliquely opaque 


opaque – soft light sifts through stained drape
filtered through muted sunshine’s dancing shape
trapped within dim confines - dust covered trust
love’s charred remains - victim of unbridled lust

awakening to darkness – blinding brightness
stumbling sightless through outdated rightness
alone with thinking’s disconnected fears
seekers reconstructing new frontiers

layering...

Opaque Silver Balls of Desert Mystery
Opaque Silver Balls Of Desert Mystery

Opaque ball bearings rolled along the grayish sand in stealth
Consuming all the landscape, leaving huge trenches in their wake 
Solid heavy objects larger than small houses raced below the dunes
The moon could not mistake them for anything but strange
Light lifted...

Premium Member Opaque Hours a Structured Enigma
Blurred distortions,smeared stirrings
put aside to make an extract in
filaments of primal abstractions.
Restless movements dripping,drop
by drop into pure fields of bliss...

Opaque

Self-determination digs the fight, 
Between lovers, crevacies and urns, 
Sunken to the black scraping the rust, 
The syntax to velocity 27 epic tech bust.

Velodrome phoneticised tightness of gyte,
Forced gynaecology for terse, gut and creation, 
Random infinity espouses truth glued thereunder, 
Catching it biopsies tumours in...

Bedazzled In a Opaque Beauty
Bedazzled in a opaque beauty, trapped deep within the colossal caverns of 
senseless agony.
Lie await the nefarious to bestow, conjuring assailing flames.
The hindered habituated set free above all inversely to conquer, retake reality...

Opaque Dreams
O beautiful night
your black wings 
extinguish the light

cloak me in darkness
paint my face in shade
for I am a shadow to life

existing on ash and soot
I am sustained in a void
covered in mother earth

my mask of horror is hidden,
but a full moon unveils my face
and the...

Premium Member Opaque Joys
Misty mornings across the ridges
Dense rain in the silent darkness
Cloudy days filled with sweet riches
Thick moments alive in starkness
~
Smoky gray tenderness in the dawn
Thick melancholy fills the mystery
Impenetrable feelings to which I’m drawn
Unclear focus of the dreamy history
~
Muddy colors flow through the hours
Solid impressions of...

Premium Member Opaque Sleepers
Drowning in our incubus sleep,
phantom enemies are devised.
Easy answers for night terrors.
Social purgatory for the stranger,
Our river Styx for the brown ones.

Our fortress must wall them out.
Brown poverty is culpable.
Starving families must be criminals.
Racialism winking and nodding.
Jingoism sneering and taunting.
Everyone knows the words.

ICE round up...

Triad In 7 Beats Opaque Hue
chartreuse leaflets sprinkle dew,
   with faint droplets...opaque hue-
                 weave me lattice to renew

Malicious Opacity
“LIKE A MADMAN THINKS HE'S GOD, WE THINK WE'RE MORTAL”. Delaland, Speech on Shadows

Transparency is the key to the social harmony. Transparent people pass through each other like light through water. No one blocks out the sunshine, no one bars the way, no one stands...
