Premium Member Fata Morgana
"Fata Morgana" 

feet hardly touch the ocean
when silent stars of no voice
transmit words to pay the ferryman
on the water no reflection 

gently the sun waves smiling as if to say
feel that, the warmth of waking sleep
no fear of what remains hidden 
it will unravel from...

New Neighbors, Part I
As Miss Luby watches from her window
a moving van backs up
the driveway across the street

BEEP!  BEEP!  BEEP!  BEEP!

its warning cry has a beacon-like effect
on the neighborhood
arousing interest from all corners
everything suddenly shaken awake

Even the squirrels stop, stock-still
save an occasional flick of the...

Unidentified Extraterrestrials Willingly Abducted Me
Unidentified extraterrestrial(s) willingly abducted me

As a divergence 
from the apocalyptical, dialectical, 
geomorphological, judgmatical, 
metaphorical, philosophical...,
I share an out of this 
(webbed wide) world,
light hearted anecdote 
ye may find far fetched.

Believe me you,
an unspecified number of years ago,
yours truly availed himself 
as an experimental subject,
and since...

Premium Member Woman Clothed with the Sun - Alice Pike Barney
It's all the ways darkness drapes
showing where light is in reality
how it's part and parcel 
I can't look at myself
but I see a reflection from your eyes

sat in a circle 
we can tell each who we are
I need to hear it to exist

may I rest...

Overactive Imagination
Laying in my cozy bed
And drifting off to dreams,
A sudden panic fills my head:
What if this isn't as it seems?

What if while I'm tucked in,
Slipping into sleep,
Giant monsters and their kin
Through the darkness creep?

I draw my hand back to me,
deep into my sheet,
Scared that if...

    Why is it called ‘The Binding of Isaac’
       if it was Father Abraham’s Final Test

Newton's Laws of Motion
First Law (Inertia): An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an external force.

Third Law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

"Soul Contract - Part 1"


“I Am”. The All Seeing Eye. The Pineal Gland.
Perhaps God exists in all of us - the Great “I Am” exists in all of us.
Within all of us The Pineal Gland, The All Seeing Eye?
“I AM”.

Waiting there within us subliminal, covert,...

“Route 66” (Part 2)


The Wicked Old Witch stalked her, flying above 
on her revved up battered old  Peugeot Stick made from 
twigs and oderous putrifying brown crud.
Up to this point all silent, the ugly old hag now cackled her passive abuse, 
“You may have...

Premium Member Spectacular- For Contest
Stock-still in gold dawn light while many sleep,
perched, scanning, on abandoned termite heap.
Expectant, skin tingles as in cold breeze
contrasting with the stillness of the trees.
The tracking beeper focuses our minds
as aerial picks target from behind.
Cheetah ten yards away now caught off guard
upwind of us, head...

The Deer Hunter
On a cold winter’s morning
in the Wicklow mountains
a lone man stalks the land;
his hound shadows him. 

He moves silently, swiftly,
approaching a clearing
where the pine forest gives way 
to heather-covered hills. 

Alert to movement,
he steps carefully into position.
His dog stands stock still, waiting;
its nose quivers
in the...

Magnificent Beings of the Sea
Under the sea foam and skipping on waves
while holding those regal heads up high;
their beauty is pure and their magic draws raves
into the deep under moonlit sky.

Many a ship filled with sailors and such
had witnessed the mystery of their dark eyes.
Some even swore they had...

Damn You Bastards With Water
Dam you bastards with water; I think you all are coots
While I watch the weather everyday and plead for rain filled fronts
I’m not some greedy bastard, which wants to grow more grass
I need my stock to have a drink, and save their thirsty ****

Don’t get...

Yes Or No
It’s the silence war that’d always been fought
whether to say yes or no to the thought
Give it a try? It might hurt…
Stand stock-still? Nothing will divert
but at the end its experience they’d brought....
