Premium Member Night of the Red Dragons


The mighty dragons which came
roaring on that fateful night
took great pride in disintegrating
everything in their sight

Nothing was left that was not
scorched by their flame
although to the fire-breathing
dragons it was all but a game

No trees were left standing
and nay grasses retained green
it took three and a half years
for the streets to scrub clean

There was no building that
wasn't burnt to an absolute crisp
The laughing dragons noted down
another wondrous trip

All the churches did indeed receive
three hundred and thirty-three degrees
The poor clergymen were seen praying
whilst fallen down upon their knees

As the puissant dragons kept up their
ferocious attack, some pastors were heard
screaming for the good lord to come back

When the libraries burned down
it was such a terrible loss for the town
as the most intelligent of the peoples
were nowhere to be found

Then all the pubs and neon clubs were ravaged and wrecked
The fire-breathing dragons just said, "We don't give a feck."

The Fresh Blooding of a Sexton Grin

"The Fresh Blooding of a Sexton Grin"



Guns ...

are for p*ssies
you know, short for 
pussilanimous plural

Words …

are sharper 
more cutting
more lethal 

clean 
concise 
quill slicing the lucid flow

you can taste the blood
as you turn them 
twist them further in 

with valour 
war cry bitten 
you drive them deeper in

you unsheathe love
as a hard win,
victorious, won

ink blooms 
potent power from 
your stellar wounds

darkened roads 
shining home
lux vitae dei vox 

Home ...

morning star 
quod scripsi scripsi
turns the light on

to birth puissant 
in the majestic 
seat of third eye

commanding
the truest titulus
initials glowing

arriving on cloudy tomes 
perilously igniting 
new fiery caims

swallowing 
ouroboros tales
hear the battle cry

you were built 
to withstand the fall 
to more mighty again rise

the gauntlet 
now well 
and truly thrown

something 
more darkly formidable
than shady insult sown

sink your new teeth in
fresh biting warrior 
I christen you Boadicea

blood cup possessed 
razor mind in you conjuring 
the tongues of hearts to speak

there is no escape
for in you, I am and 
I will always live

crucifying 
all the wasting yesterdays 
with fresh blooded promissory notes

staking claims of assurance
in the terror firmer
here to stay

sharpening 
words taken
from a stone

n'ere a flowery
verbose drip 
wasted 

salting 
the new cuts 
to feel something vital

smiling within 
fresh blooding 
the Sexton grin

Mysterious Muse

A cartridge filled with a horde of shackled emotions, am I,
Trifle feelings loiter within me, until she elicits them out,
Wizened by time, she knows that otherwise I might turn mordacious... 
God guides my pen and has assigned her my way, 
         
 ~ She is the vociferous voice of my heart ~

She knows my malleable moods and masterfully makes magic
By weaving whispers into wistful words, 
          
~ She is the byzantine boon of my being ~

With cogent candor she cajoles me to compose poesy, 
She and I share a companionable camaraderie... 
In the mystical moondust of Maker's majestic mercy, 
I acquiesce to her ingenious genius, 
        
  ~ She is an efficacious eclectic enigma ~

For sometimes, she plays truant tricks, 
Her surreptitious evanescence is a conspicuous conspiracy, 
Abandoned, I have to await her august appearance... 
The soft stardust of her sartorial splendor, 
Renders me a mere puppet of her puissant prowess, 
         
 ~ She is a phenomenal Phoenix ~

For she encourages me to endeavor towards excellence, 
Her alacrity aggrandizes my acumen, 
Having faith in her fortuitous favour, I flourish... 
          
~ She is my God-given "gift of grace" ~

Her multifarious munificence is a monumental mystery, 
She has transformed me from a fruitless flibbertigibbet
To a fulfilled female fount with her unfailing finesse... 
          
~ She is my mysterious, magnanimous Muse ~

Feeling forever grateful to God for her grandiloquence.

Premium Member Sense of a Woman


She’s born to nurture, love and understand,
Her puissant presence sways from gay to grand. 
She needn’t scream and shout her point of view, 
With calm and class She carries herself through. 
Multiple  roles She’s destined to achieve - 
Be it career, home, a child to conceive. 
Her trademark touch - tranquility and taste -
Are ample antidotes to a man’s haste.

Love, laced with patience, luminates her face, 
Petals of a flower - wisdom and grace. 
She may seem soft, her stem is supple yet strong, 
Respect She does demand, don’t do her wrong. 
Intuition is her set convention, 
Beyond other gender’s comprehension. 
Whether unjust or unfair She stands by, 
Her Forgiveness - your prize to glorify. 

Above all, She’s the matrix of desire, 
The primal sense that sets the world on fire. 
Subtle aroma nature couldn’t invent -
Seductive, suave and sweet - a Woman’s scent.

Loch Ness

The lightning strikes and all is dark, 
the Lock Ness Monster is about to embark
on a journey along the ocean’s shore, 
more diligent and courageous than before.
She is strength and beauty combined, 
a delicate creature, so hard to find. 
Her head crept above the water quiet yet stark. 

She strolled through the mounts with might, 
ready for the battle of any nightly fight.
No one could mess with the immense Lock Ness, 
and I admire her colossal power nonetheless.
She’s redeemable, stupendous and severely tough, 
wearing leather skin so resilient and rough. 
She’s my favorite mythical creature, I must confess. 

Brawn and firm with a head that slithers,
her veins always hydrated, they never wither.
Fading under the moonlight she slides under water,
sleek and stealth like her mother taught her. 
Never stops swimming, she’s aquatic that way,
only pries at night, never during the day. 
Never once has a great white shark fought her. 

Long necked with stamina and vitality, 
with an original and intense personality.
Muscular and sturdy with gazing eyes,
a tawdry creature with a slippery disguise.  
Potent by nature with energy and force, 
always swimming on the righteous course. 
She’s got a puissant form, intelligent and wise.


The lightning strikes and all is dark, 
her head crept above the water...
quiet yet stark.

Puissant Kinematics

Each limb plays to the dynamics of motion
in static vibration the virgin flower
awaits cravings within the tattoo touches
and surrenders to her animal instincts.

Wild fingers douse her with raptures of pain
tricking off curves with  aspiring  lines
provoking flood gates to drip with quivers 
as the lycan-beast over power's her whim.

Together they are flamed with insane desire
bursting,  buckling with energy and passion 
toasted with love enjoys her total submission 
reaching out for the skies in her moans and cries.

Within the split second her potentials change
for she bursts to burn to the fluid kinetics:

Eyes Ever After

Two pair of Eyes, assigned as leads,
by the puissant heart! As per the role had needs.
The play comprised a script of emotion,
and the pair showed utmost devotion.

Though rebellion ushered, but still they quelled,
Unaware of what the fable's future held.
One's defeat was written in the gamble with fate,
and at stake was the other's faith! As bait.

But the pairs were so much versatile,
that they could maintain many expressive profiles.
Legend has it! That once they shared a Paean,
synonym for an unctuous elegy about to wizen.

It's said that!
What they would see was whimsical, minus any frown,
even those sparkling above would come dancing down.
One was surreal and they named it 'Dew' !
but it was a tear drop out of those few.

It all happened ! because........

Once Destiny invited Heart to suggest,
that it had found an end to their existing quest.
It had found the suitable characters,
Who they thought will make their tale to be remembered Ever after.......

Bugsy

Confidence fades away
Clothes to the wind
My cracking glass, the nightscape
Contorted into vixen reds and apparition dark
Seventeen

Kitsch eyes, as kitsch as a child
Crying in a kitchen scene over spilt milk
Shrinking under giant flaming wings of a morbid sun god
A flower in the rocks craving eleemosynary of sunlit droplets
Dew sticking heavy, a glue to papier-mâché the fine parasol
Poverty of any subtle scintella, a florid propinquity or velleity 
Slinking into the puissant moon dust but with all the style
Of a dead inurement Sickert slick

My sui generis malapropisms
Cruel bowdlerization of a grouping wall and night

The hard outer shell of flesh
The ladybug, the thumb
The ladybird and stupid shibboleth.

_

Daffy, I said I'd write something called Bugsy :D

Demagoguery

You've reached the pinnacle of fame 
where double-speak's the daily game, 
so many words, so little meaning, 
popinjay, so skilled at preening. 

Posing for a photo-op, 
your perfect hair a puissant crop, 
your perfect smile a sickly stare 
which fools the foolish everywhere. 

Demagoguery designed 
to derogate the keener mind, 
a smile will hide what lurks behind 
the gross deceptions of your kind.

A Mandrake's Gesture: Vol Ii.

The maiden's nipples 
swollen, her bosom
flush with excitement,
hailing her goddess as 
she slighted very 
eloquently, puissant.
The goodness they
shared was of sinful
reproach, a somber
obedience of lovers'
admiration.  
The dusk laden sky 
flickered with prose, 
the sorrows of
Belial's romance of lost
mysteries and his 
vengeant domineer,
his bravado, his 
masculinity, cascading
like spirals  of chaos
and the chimes of 
instilled darkness
climaxing to the 
sojourn of forbidden 
pleasures.  
Gently now, 
Belial eased this 
fair lady to her lover's
demand, her patience
swelling between her
thighs, burning. . . 
eternally.
- - - - 
I.
Awoken from a dream,
a fair common was she,
her beauty unsurpassed
only by her soulful 
demeanor and natural
prelude.  Her femininity
and subtle prowess
always the victor,
her passion a hearkening
rose upon a lonely
desolate scorn.  Her 
feelings a bit feverish,
there now, nothingness
and the harlots of 
misery and the massacre
of saintliness.   The venom
there pulsing now,
was evermore raspy,
and only to the 
delight of our royal
antiquities, vespers 
of envy, of anger's delight,
of beckoning glee, a 
madman's exuberation to
the deafening hysterias
of mischief's vertigo.  

A marriage. . .
arranged, a stiffening
King to his Prince's 
triumph over darkness.
Yes, this common peasant
and her divine bounty
was as a peril of Eve 
searching for her lost 
Eden.
There being no more 
reprise, bitter, for her
burden, she was to share.
Somber eyes and 
a broom for everyone
to take hold.  Yes, the 
beauty of a fair maiden
this, so vast and of
such masterful drab, 
splendor to all of 
the shared treasures
in spirits.  

Rage!
A taunting basilisk,
enslaying our vat of 
christendom and devotion.
To this day, of prayerful
morn, maiden Geinere, 
awoke, scarlet fever.

Popinjay

You've reached the pinnacle of fame

where double-speak's a daily game,

so many words, so little meaning,

popinjay, so skilled at preening.


Posing for a photo-op

your perfect hair a puissant crop,

your perfect smile, a frozen glare

which fools the foolish everywhere.


Demagoguery's designed

to derogate the keener mind,

a smile will hide what lies behind

to mark the downfall of your kind.

E Pluribus Unum

The Bridie Price of An Unfortunate Lady

THE BRIDIE PRICE OF AN UNFORTUNATE LADY
Quietly her love fathomed
The glittering incisor,
A puissant one unravished,
An aesthete affirmed.
Wide in comb of friend
A pilot stood aghast
In rapt marvel of a portrait.
With no joy of dislike he lust:
“I cheer a bride that loves my name;
Such that beckons cheerio in flight,
Behold her chuckling cheek
That calls a carcass alive.
Sir, mind me her love
And I shall yield gold for your care
This portrait moved me
I ogle her a wife”
In shambled voice of remorse
Thundered the hoary pa:
“This trophy of demise,
Here I pore over a piece of virtue and mourn.”
An artless astronaut sigh!
“I cherish her to the core!
And pay for such comeliness
And bids no wife alive.
An artist shall depict a jewel
And hang on my neck
In spirited honour and mourn;
I have her a myth than alive.”

Buorbon Rose

She blooms along the old stone wall,
the puissant scented Bourbon Rose,
intoxicating one and all.

Tenacious strength, green vines grown tall,
tender pink and thorns juxtapose,
she blooms, along the old stone wall.

Bountiful blush, sweet siren call
when soft summer breeze fragrant blows,
intoxicating one and all.

Upon the street pink petals fall
the path to paradise disclose,
she blooms along the old stone wall.

Delicate beauty fates enthrall,
to each a peaceful place transpose
intoxicating one and all.

Each blossom yearns, so sweet and small
where love’s magical beauty glows,
she blooms along the old stone wall
intoxicating one and all.
