Thus Born, A Light, A Blessing Of Inspiration

And he from the mountaintop knelt to shout 
To the magnificent creatures below
As if pouring Life-water from a spout 
He in his sorrows cried in the snow, 
O' God have this, thine sweet mercy on me
He that in...

Premium Member Thus and So
pressed ...
kind as a criminal
your cold kisses clamped shut -
like a thousand stiff arms
they walled me in ...
I was your dirigible, soaring
promises made in passion and dreaming
(my horrid err)
the slender ropes you clung to
braided with expectation
pulling ...
pulling ...
pulling ...
hope, rusted by your
greedy weep
and the shine...

Premium Member My life journey thus far
Finally my blood began to coagulate,
signalling that wounds inflicted by fate had healed,
paving way for my presence, to pass through heaven’s gate.

I played out my hand as of the cards, I was by destiny dealed,
equal in both joy and pain, dancing gleefully in the rain,
knowing...

Thus Spake Utilitas
And so it was in the time of high charges for the governed

 upon entering the Narthex of the church

 of the Cold Blue Static Balls of Charge, 

 powerful PUBLICUS UTILITAS proclaimed: 


“Make way; for I’m the journeyman directorate

 of the all powerful Red...

Thus, Fate Avengeth
Henry VIII desireth an heir.
Wife after wife, nary son hath wives bourne.
Thusly, he cut off each head.
Findeth a new wife instead.
His sole son hath been born from an affair....

Thus Says He
Thus says He who guards the gate,
The atmosphere is stagnant,
Stagnant with discontented gluttons,
Tangled with tricks and deceptions,
Soaked with indoctrination,
And charged with foul breath. 

Thus says He who guards the gate,
The atmosphere is saturated,
Saturated with dirt and grime, 
And impregnated with hatred and bitterness.

Thus says He...

Thus, O Beloved, Thus
Your village will 
have wells
Well-equipped water-
supply
My village connected 
to the town.
I shall be employed
And teaching poetry 
and plays
In a college.
China will leave 
claiming Ladakh,
Issues of Arunachal 
and Lama, settled.
Kashmir shall be 
again a kingly state,
Chenab to Chin ,K2 
and Pirpanchal;
And India, Pak, 
Bejing 
be friends,
Sure...

Premium Member Thus, Two Are One
We spent the moments partaking in real joy
Cuddling, dreaming, fulfilling a ploy
Happily sharing closeness
Imagining us
Two hearts one
Thus
Attraction
Leaving thoughts breathless 
Dreams flowing free from hopeless
Aware of all that we can enjoy
We spent the moments partaking in real joy




Focus on the heart

Thus Spoke Hybris
Aesop, Fables 533 (from Babrius 70) (trans. Gibbs) (Greek fable C6th B.C.) :
"The gods were getting married. One after another, they all got hitched, until finally it
was time for Polemos (War) to draw his lot, the last of the bachelors. Hybris (Reckless
Pride) became his wife,...

Thus Ominous and Elliptical Be the Tone of This
Species sundry sentential 
Line the lost lowered loft
Whose weary wayward-ceiled 
Roof raises itself over the lot:
The diverse specimen bottles of pharmaceutic potations,
Mortared and mixed as by the Hawthornean sawbones 
And apothecary, yclept, poetically rendered: "The Quack Haunted." 
(Aye,) Haunted and hunted he was, by that...

That Sweetest Of Earth's Treasures Can Thus Flee

Ridiculous, that love can become a curse,
irrational, enigma to behold
that sweetest of earth's treasures can thus flee
for humanity what else can be worse
a dear life into slavery thus sold,
with death of our precious love-  you and me!

Premium Member this and that and thus and such
this and that and thus and such
hearing, seeing, smell, taste, touch
which will old age steal? not much
  just this and that and thus and such

will I know beloved ones...
lifelong sweetheart? daughter? sons?
thanking those with whom I've dined
  not sure why they've been so...
