Premium Member Arctic Afterglow


When the 
glacial sun slips 
in softened womb 
of the scarlet 
spheres at dusk, 
yearning for 
hibernal rebirth 
as a lustrous 
morning star, 
it radiates 
golden beams 
like lakes of sunshine,
flowing over 
chiming starlit bells 
in our hazy haven;
and I scrap 
frosted flakes
off the bittersweet 
pamphlets that 
whisper our names 
in the misty winds 
of 'Us'. 

Calming the 
coalesced chaos 
within my 
infernal pulses, 
his warmth drapes
this enchanted soul 
with daffodil-
smudged days
of hot cocoa amidst 
a wintry wonderland. 
If I could bloom 
like an arctic 
afterglow's heart 
on bare alpine trees, 
I would only 
choose him to be 
my daylight-
perfumed violet 
scent, evermore. 

I can never 
stroll away 
from the shimmering 
silverine memory, 
when my muse's
trust breathed 
hailstorm's poesy in 
my solstitial lungs 
and kissed the 
fractals of a bruised 
poet's spirit.

Dreaming of yuletide,
I achingly yearn 
to become the 
silken apricity of 
those soft lyrics
that swing in his 
thundersnow thoughts 
and frostbitten flesh, 
re-writing the jaggery saga
of twin-sanguine-lovers
in beige brushstrokes
of foggy 'We'.

Sometimes,
I forsake to 
surrender and 
ask for a peaceful
nod from the 
'Lord of Soulmates', 
can I be the 
honeysuckle ink 
for my beloved's
watercolor feather, 
always nurturing
the snowy twists of 
our tale within fate's 
untold wisdom? 

When I desire 
to wander in 
black-iced myths of 
insatiable agony, 
will he become 
my bejeweled healer 
and fight off those
sombre silhouettes 
of Jack Frost's 
saudade, like a samurai? 

For, I take him 
as the gift of 
my last wish, 
forever inhaling 
the chilly secrets 
of our lantern-
lives in my 
subconscious visions, 
that keep me 
alive upon
crestfallen sleets 
of intuitive icicles;
I want to live forever, 
in his pearly eyes' abode, 
which coruscates
with glossy lustre 
of fireflies and 
makes me flutter
my hiemal 
white wings like a 
spellbound fairy in 
grey-orchid sonatas.

Premium Member Spirit of Swan Lake


     " In titanium haze of love,
             truth is but a mere lie, 
            never unlocking gold vaults
                    of feelings, for, 
             honesty weeps somewhere
                        in perfumed odes of
                  inkless pages, 
                              hidden in our forlorn fate..."
 
If twilight roses were 
reincarnated angels, 
they would carve 
a zillion destinies 
with feathered letters, 
flickering beneath
butterfly glitters, 
adhering glossy 
wings of rosemary, 
like a balm to 
invisible scars
and encasing 
my soul in a 
hundred hues 
of blood. 

But, I never knew, 
the secrets of 
nebulous-cloaked 
vengeance which 
infused in 
nightingale's 
forevermore fortunes, 
echoing eerie whispers 
in elora moors of 
scarlet jasmines, 
at the jinx of 
midnight's omen;
for thou emerged 
as a lover in 
ninety-nine novels, 
but a guised 
killer in the 
farewell fantasy. 

As I float by, 
in the swan lake, 
losing myself to thee, 
I wish upon 
defrosting your eyes, 
that got submerged 
beneath icebergs 
of betraying harbinger
and bleed my soul 
in frosted heart's
snow-sealed 
milky ways, 
as these flaked 
clayey leaf 
pamphlets of
sakura scents 
aren't enough
to erase thy 
fingerprints from this 
poisoned chalice, 
that sung sinful 
serenades in 
deadly paradise
of Eurydice
and sliced my spirit 
to sooty shreds, 
in this diamond dungeon 
behind sage valleys. 

Laced in 
ash grey lies, 
I'm a corpse 
enveloped in 
crimson croons
of confetti, 
whilst lips 
soak acrylic 
dewdrops of 
melting roses, 
that once
blanketed our 
eden in the 
arms of heaven, 
with starlit petals. 

So, as Nymph, 
in the orisons, 
with hemlock 
fused heart, 
be all my sins 
remembered. 
For, love is a 
smoke raised 
with the fume 
of sighs, demising 
to sacrificed 
meadows, where, 
this kismet tale 
departs in the 
very ecstacy 
of cradling mist, 
and thus, 
with disoriented 
twilight's kiss, I die.

Premium Member Poetic Victims of Circumstance

"Cruel birds—ravens—but wise. And creatures should be loved for their wisdom if they cannot be loved for kindness."
- Hannah Kent


My lover's demons are like ravenous ravens.
Her love is a hand grenade triggering exploding emotions,
massacring words into silent suppression
but beyond the threshold of her eyes, 
there's a scarlet love silhouette, 
hoping upon hope for expression,
to reset her reality -  to express her freedom of spirit.

I ask the one who feels the tremors of my heart,
why are you afraid of happiness?

We were not made to be broken,
yet we fracture a little everyday.
Although you are fragile like a paper plane,
the world with you and me can soar
against turbulence in the world's playground.

In darkness I'll be your harbinger of crescent moons,
as my heart is a complex phenomenon,
yearning to be special in your ordinary sighs.
I hunger for you to leave me breathless,
as internal invisible wounds don't heal,
when we are lost in an ocean of souls,
but empathy has an evergreen effervescence,
so I'll radiate light into your wilted moonflower eyes,
watching them glow like dancing streetlights.

In the angst of absence and abandonment,
I've lost all desire to bleed,
searching for harmony in music's salvation,
but it only brings broken strings,
as I'm sleeping to the rhythm of heartache.

My muse serenades in melancholic melodies,
composing a confusing chaos concerto,
searching for pamphlets of medleys 
with symphonies of pleasure.

What are we,
but poetic victims of circumstances,
versifying verses which unravel my mysteries.
Maybe in a peaceful tomorrow, 
I'll write again,
but today, 
I'll bathe in raindrops of hope,
illuminating in a rainbow of reveries.

I believe in magic when I envision your cathartic haze.
I know you are obsessed with forever,
but time silently escapes whilst we are apart.
If not in this temporary existence,
then in the afterlife, meet me in heaven,
where we can rise with eternal ethereal sunrises,
because your celestial eyes betray your mortal guise.

I could never write a poem as perfect as you.
With or without me,
we'll be immortally together in heartbeats,
where there is poetry,
there will always be love.

MEMORY OF NOTHING

Listen:
Drag branches comeback
Across the forest floor:
Knowledge of the rough¡

At water’s edge
I gather some things up:
“Happy Ending Story”.

We’ve the time to give the Babel Tower
A close reading.
Awful good, Tú
As Roy A. Rappaport’s
Ritual... as Communication and as State.
Our preferences might be
Toward more emphasis 
On species places:
Smooth textures of dead wood
Knowledge of our hands on arms
The body-art of ********
Drinking cocoa
And tend to the faith
With a Vampire’s short stick
That smells of infinite urine
As Madonna.

History reveals itself to us
In this way:
Poetry, Tales, Essays are pamphlets
Of impossible interest
Multiplying voices-human, voices-animal
Voices-plant
Voice-life of Earth
As Dan O’Neill’s
Holiday for Cynics.



Look, little one
Courtney Love
We live this close to disaster
There is no turning back
From the tops of the trees
Which are so dense
Almost no sky is visible
Only the odor dilates the nostril
And quickens the heart
On a marijuana  tortilla.
The buddhists have been tellig us
That the Self (Ego)
As we conceive of it
Is an illusion.
A good tip
Thinking about Gurney Norman’s
Jack and His Ego.

Is it?
It is that we are of a Time-Sexual
Wherein all species has been joined
To the Wo/Man
Of *****Sapiens
And Life is a single exercise of Cannibals
In constantly elevating towers
Of Bureaucracy.
Nothing in Somethingg
Something in our Nothingness.

Premium Member Dahlia's Dreamscape


When Neptune's 
nostalgic sighs, 
weave ruffled rosaries 
of brocade ink, 
bleeding from 
blackberry wrinkles 
in torrential time, 
I wonder if 
herculean eyes
of my earthen heart, 
are afraid of being 
abandoned by the
electric rhapsody 
of life's alienated 
aroma. 

Swinging on the
translucent
parabola of a
frozen rainbow, 
my fate is 
skewed as a 
cantaloupe 
silhouette, of 
helix-shaped 
maple pamphlets, 
where, bluebirds 
feast on decaying 
seeds of love
and sing
hemlock-croons
in those magnolia 
gardens. 

But, 
what if stars 
were edible and 
I devoured their 
ivory scintilla, 
submerging 
cosmic potions
in my arteries, 
iridescent with
clusters of 
quasar's quivering 
rays and pulsar's
pistachio glitter? 

So now, 
I collect 
volcanic ash 
from rust-orange 
ruins of dahlia's 
dreamscape
and embalm 
them with 
paradise-pink hues 
of distilled empathy, 
for my swan-white 
halo of faithful 
silence, is still 
glowing with
sombre yet 
glossy shine 
of the linen sun 
and I inhale 
the fragrance of 
my marshmallow moon.


Pamphlets of Prophets

Pamphlets of Prophets

And in the barren face of sanity
I scavenged 
For hope

Hope between the bleeding
Stain

Full forces littered the bodies
Pamphlets of prophets
In useless streets

Streets paved with dead
Dreams

Burning crosses
Burning flags
The caricatures of hate

Hate in the Holy walls and domes of
Jerusalem

And in the coloured face of madness
I found the ever smile
Of borrowed light

Light in the Holy walls and domes of
Death

Death in weeping children sung its dirge
In the sacrificial arms of 
Love

Love ?

What love is there between the ruins of bone and shattered blood
Siren screaming its danger to flesh
This Auschwitz strip
This apocalypse
Is a lament unheeded
Of starved and parchment skeletons
Turning in their graves
Piteous demise of theirs
Wasted
 
Full forces littered the bodies
Pamphlets of prophets
In useless streets

She wonders where to go, clueless in her ceramic cage,
with octaves oceanic (there's an oaf in my ocarina)
But Oh! Her delight when her Breather goes soprano
      a whippoorwill trying her      wings      in the sauna sky
laps of leisure in steamy cirrus clouds

(there's a glider on the Puget Sound)

And she knows the stories that abound 
in the sensation of a sonnet

            (though you may shake a speare at the classic verse)

She's licked the pearl pages of such pretty pamphlets.

You could say she's been around ...

Fighting flights of fancy through Fraser fir,
as busy as a bee, like she's got somewhere to be

(an important meeting with the sea?
a journey through Farrah Fawcett follicles?)

And things aren't always what they seem,
keeping close ties with Elohim,
lubricating our lungs with lovely life      (and the pockets of air between the knife)

More hypocritical than Hebraic Hitler.

With tornadoes in tow
and summer waves that flow

(she has secrets to disclose
for elements in the know)



NOTE: Puget Sound is a sound along the northwestern coast of Washington. Elohim is a Hebraic term for God.

Premium Member Fetal Position In the Er

Broken but disbelieving, we wait   
for any doctor to say it’s just blood
as the gray man greens, throws-
up in triage. A Goth teen holds Band-Aids
to her scalped thumb.  Somebody loses  
patience, explodes, Why are the sick 
 
treated this way? Doors dilate & the sick 
smell of antiseptics greets a waitress    
wearing a steak knife. We are cribbed by loss;   
gone, teeny heartbeats as I pass blood 
clots. A junkie limps, unaided,
to the bathroom,  another throw 
 
away human, unlike a tot thrown   
from a fire. Unforgettable, that sickening  
sound, shrill scream after scream raids  
the room of complaints. Hell won’t wait 
for examination, I learn, as bloodshot 
eyes meet mine. Hope is lost. 
 
Patients stoically sit. Some lose 
change to a vending machine.  A cop throws 
a look to his charge.  Words drift, bloody 
stool, x-rays, concussion. Sick talk to the sick.   
My hand is gently squeezed. No one else waits- 
out a miscarriage. I watch an aid 
 
swab vintage tiles, restack HIV/AIDS 
pamphlets as if they’re a deck of cards, like loss 
is just some hand dealt. Somewhere, a mother waits
for her boy to sleep, will wash bottles, throw
out dirty diapers.  Somewhere, a heartsick 
father releases bloodcurdling  
 
sobs because a body was found.  Blood
is both bond & amputation.  I took first aid
so I know why the sickest
get priority.  Besides, we've already lost                            
each other,  little one.  Our separation has thrown
me off balance. Why couldn't you wait?
 
As if I need hearing aids, a nurse throws 
my name out to the sick, the lost, ER roommates. 

No. I'll never be ready. Let the bloody stirrups wait...

All Crushed

Was round about the 60's
And I a budding teen
Was influenced and touched
By a program I had seen

Rod Sterling was the narrator
Of a series quite well known
With weekly visits to a world
Named the "Twilight Zone"

And to this day one episode
The best without debate
Has taught me 'bout the frailty
Of Man against his fate

A short meek man from Queens, New York
Henpecked by his wife
Found his joy in reading books
To assuage a bit his strife

Voracious was his appetite for 
Tomes and all that's written
Yet blind without his glasses
He's as docile as a kitten

In the vault under his bank one day
While making a transaction
The world above was subject to
A nuclear reaction!

When he surfaced to the top
To view the mass destruction
He found that only he'd survived 
And came to this deduction

No wife! No rules! No one to shriek 
Or tell him what to do!
Only stacks and shelves of books
To read, peruse and view		

Paperbacks and hardcover
Pamphlets, primers, scrolls
The whole damn New York Library
With him at the controls!

Then as he pictured life 
In a world with voices hushed
He bent his head to grab a book
His glasses broke..........................
                                                    All crushed.............

Premium Member Blood Types

Here’s a little something you might like to know.
You're a universal donor if your blood is type “O”.
You may have type “A”, or perhaps type “B”,
You may even possess the type known as “AB”.
“AB” is the blood that is found less frequently.
That type is considered a universal recipient fortunately.
For the D antigen, most people are Rhesus factor positive.
Less common are those who are Rh negative.
So there is just a little medical information.
The American Red Cross seeks donors throughout the nation.

Information obtained from pamphlets distributed by the American Red Cross.

Hang Myself In the Sky

Hang Myself in the Sky

Hang myself in the sky
The sun is shining
It is frightening
The sky is blue
There's no clue

Looking for secrets
You gave me pamphlets
No matter what you say
I will say “nay”
So you’ll say “nigh-nigh”

Hang myself in the sky
The sun is shining
It is exciting
But, I am in blue
You have no clue

Looking for secrets
You took me to outlets
No matter what you say
I will say “pay”
So you’ll say “bye-bye”

Hang myself in the sky
Singing voice is a bit shaky
Honestly I don’t want to die
You're gonna say “Why?”

Still Spinning

I was sleeping and dreaming, silently screaming, while violently weeping And mildly feeling that I was honestly grieving I was quitely greeting my anxiety's breathing It was wildy eating at who I was... I could see through the mirrior he was frustrated Feeling devestated, felt isolated, feeled truly aggravated Did I mention the love and hatred upon his eyes Or even the soul teared through a genocide A gemini inside, but set aside he felt terrified But through the lies disguised in your mind He was ultimately petrified...It was you that was scarier then ever, even his barrier Now I'm flying high like a harrier, with you i'm more marrier Was it scary cause of your terror, or your character? See I truly miss you miss, you're a beautiful beautious Broken and brutal, but with you I see what beauty is I love it, cause you're so humorous, is it obvious?  I'm operating this auto race Just for you, I'd be dominating...I'd be going pedal to the metal, just till it's settled I just want to win a medal, I'm feeling kind of dreadful I've even beaten my only devil, going crazy, am I mental? Nah, it's where I extract scratched tangets and you stare vast in past pamphlets And you have no answers for your last math's classes, within exams I see you vanishing You close your eyes and drift in planets'n'canvases, and you crash in crafted canyons That clash with granite and imagitive paniced bandits with a habit that granted An attached handprint that reflected my poetic languages They call us anguished animals, but I pass on my damages, on through these messages See I may look different with my clothes that are charred and almost carved off I'm scorching like dark hearts, and warped like barked bronze  Can you see I was meant for journalling? I'll be discerning them, as they see me surfacing I'll just be surging in, and it's you that i'd prefer to bring even out of all these earth-a-lings I hope it's permenant, you showed me what my purpose is, I needed the encouragement It was a form of your subtle perfectness, is it courteous that you bring me nervousness? Right now, you got me prouder then, all my extended ends, it's pride from you that i'm conjuring in.... Your loves got me flying high in your turbulence, it's a superb inherent gift, I don't think I could picture it, It has me feeling one with the churches and all my burning urges end...

POWERFUL SILENT SPEECH

Where is humanity? 
as Congolese players,
stuffs and fanatics 
were about to sing
their national anthem 
at Afcon tournament,
they put their right hands 
on their mouths
to express the silence 
of the international community 
into the problems of DRCongo.
they pointed  their left hands like guns 
on their heads to express different atrocities
which continue taking place 
in Eastern  of DRCongo. 
They seemed so confused after hearing  
about  the bombardment of the rebels
In one town in East of DRCongo 
which killed many folks. 
the USA, France , UK , Germany governments 
are supplying the rebels behind 
the government of Rwanda
As they are pushing  the deal to balkanise
DRCongo into many countries. 
Many people who understood this powerful mute speech of Congolese players 
were so sad. 
Congolese blamed different media 
for not showing the Congolese supporters  from the beginning to  the end of their match with Ivory coast , 
as they were wearing some  tee-shirts 
and uplifting some pamphlets 
written " Stop Genocide in DRCongo." 
Congolese government found 
that the CAF is also complice to that action and stopped their team  to participate 
to any  activity of solidarity which will be organised by CAF.
Some Congolese destroyed their Aerials 
of some French Channels  which were reporting  the Afcon.
Some Congolese marched at  the embassy 
of France in Kinshasa
And called for the closing of USA, France 
, UK , Germany embassies in Kinshasa
As many westerners
are promoters of the wars 
in DRCongo. 

Where is humanity? 
As Congolese continue to be killed 
Like animals while the whole World 
is silently.

Laika

Into the solar system
Outreaching myself
Intense grief, mourning
Into cake and wedding dress

Galvanized poorly, the rust
About to topple into ochre
Coated stardust glittering
As we discover the truth

Not enough good, oh but for better
For worse, for years, for a fool
Like me and her, a mirror image
A replacement, a damnation

Creeping over stocking tops
There is not enough bleach in the world
To coat the filthy soul you smuggle
Into orbit, my anger now exceeding

The speed of light, the Titanic
To the iceberg, one way trip
A government secret, a conspiracy
Anything at all to wipe away your guilt

And stardust glittering on her face
Leaving retched little Laika to
Smother in the agony of ignorance
Huddle with me for precious warmth

How I could set a man on fire
The tongue is sharp, cutting through
The web of lies, deceit, conterfeit
Forgiveness plagiarized in pamphlets

Set across the universe, the guilt
You should be feeling, burning up in Betelgeuse
Oh for heavens and constellations spell it out
Every dog has their day, but some draw the shortest of the straws
