Premium Member The Last Organ Grinder
He can turn the crank, to tunes of happy song,
One that his crowd has cherished for long,
But something has so terribly gone wrong
For someone has declared: you don’t belong,
O, you don’t belong; no, you do not belong,
As organ music on streets is forever banned
Dismantling livelihood,...

Between paper-soft 
worlds of fragile 
imaginations, 
I float upon those
gossamer tulips 
that split every 
second of saccharine 
musings and 
eclipsed confessions, 
distinguishing all
photoelectric synonyms
of lachrymose 
stimuli towards 
glassy manipulations
of blood-fragranced sun. 

Everything that is 
sown in sweetened 
textures of afterglow-soil, 
always blossoms upon 
decayed fossils...

The Vanishing Organ
Sam Ebenezer
a sad ol' geezer
was lamenting his shrinkage of late:
my worthless ding-a-ling
is a bell without ring
my manhood in diminishing state
 
From whence I salute
is thin as a flute
and soft to the touch as cashmere
I search with persistence
it offers resistance
on nature's call to appear
 
On heeding...

Née à l’horizon	

          Born on the horizon

où se meurt le soleil

          where the sun dies

ses grandes vagues pleurent

    The young mother died,
    before she could hold her newborn child
    Paternity was unknown
    the secret his mother had never shared
    The boy was cradled in the arms of...

Premium Member I Will Come Back As An Organ Grinder
Reincarnated, I will come back as a mustached and bearded Italian organ grinder,
I will live in Rome, Italy and play my home-made barrel organ in the streets,
My pet spider monkey, Shark, will happily grab up silver coins, as a reminder.
And we will make the beautifully-dressed...

He walks through  murky puddles cobble stone
    City full of busy sounds and movements
        Time advancing enhancing improvements.

Passer-byers in the youthful sunny' hours
    Social complexity of daily life

I can still remember visiting a small musical town,  
a young boy holding his hat and singing his heart out for money.  
His love for music was heart warming,  
John was this little fellow's names.  
He wore a big smile with...

The Importance of Organ Donation
I’m not sure how you feel about this
But it’s an extremely important decision
That you may choose or choose not to make
Which is the gift of life for someone
Through the gift of organ donation.

Just think if you do decide to be an organ donor
You may have...

Organ Donar
There is a little young girl
Or if you prefer a helpless young boy
Lying in a hospital bed
To sick to raise there weary head
For whom without an organ
They are destined to die
Begging the question
Why are we all not donors...

This Organ We Call the Heart
"The heart is deceitful above all things"
But nursing the strongest connection amongst human beings
Evil resides, individually suppressed but begins from the heart
From the heavens he says "I the Lord search the heart"
As I keep it bottled in, a heart attack is inevitable amongst all things.

Jeremiah...

The Organ Grinder
If it's just the organ grinder
with his little pet monkey
give him a penny 
and send him on.
 
If it's just the organ grinder
coming around to tell me
what time it is,
tell him I bought a clock.
 
I had a tolerance for the old man
and his little...

The brain is an incredibly efficient computer
Compressing trillions of bytes of information,
Registering every impression we encounter,
Analyzing concepts from formation to causation.

Compressing trillions of bytes of information
In milliseconds without hesitation, unrelentingly,
Analyzing concepts from formation to causation
Remarkably, it even functions unconsciously.

In milliseconds without hesitation, unrelentingly,
It processes the...
