Premium Member Decadent Proposal

She senses before she sees
The manicured nails - the elegant fingers
Holding out the hundred dollar bills - enticingly - so temptingly
A generous nights takings of busking here
In one proffered hand
She grabs at it petrified it might be an illusion
Evaporating in a puff of smoke

Fingers hold it back, teasingly
Compelling eye contact
She looks up sceptically 
Dark eyes meet her aqua blues, sparking a sort of affinity
‘Eyes are the window of one’s soul’- so it is said in all sincerity
But the magnetic dark eyes of her enticer are fathomless in their intensity

His type she has encountered before - money for favours
Well she is no novice - a living after all - a girl has to make
And his generous offer rivals his devilish good looks
But she senses a darkness favouring the energy emanating 
A cold shiver runs through her veins like someone just walked on her grave
Fear ripples down her spine akin to a stroking finger chilled in ice

The spell he casts foreboding
The calmness of the night has taken flight
In its haste to set the macabre scene
Mesmerising are the eyes that bore into hers
Projected thoughts furtively slip into her mind
Infiltrating it like a slithery snake
Bringing with it forbidden thoughts of desire
She falls into the inky black abyss
Succumbing to heady dark passionate conceptualization

However the chilling message is coherent
This is not a mere opportunistic one night stand
That he desires
This is more - so much more
This is taboo concupiscence unleashed

This is her life in exchange for what?
Her life for immortality?
Surely not!
Yet his eyes eloquently convey it all
The hunger so unconcealed - so transparently flagrant
To yield to darkness
Satisfying his appetite for
Death of a different nature?
Obliteration of life as she knows it to be
Tenebrous Immortality in exchange for her blood
A prelude to his finale of taking her soul
And then a metamorphosis 
From Prey to Predator

Premium Member The Other Self

( Repost )

Somehow, her eyes expand with the disobedient sky
and there, she senses urchins filling water on the lake
her feet and thighs slide up changing hues,
with receding incarnations of the moon.

She bends down gazing at images on the lake
as limbs turn into seaweeds, a mermaid in pain
changing hues in the crystal white of sky…
and the moon with slices of split mirrors burn
on wiggles of unscented tresses in water.

She dips her hands to catch the sleek tail in a plunge
knowing not a word to describe the reflection on the lake,
and witness the need to flow randomly in its
entrance through the expanse of one silver sky…
trying to recover glimpses reflected in the water.

Without point of reference to unknown images,
she vaguely remembers how transparently liquid 
the changing hues of the moon become watery
like a  hint of coagulated  blood on a mermaid’s lake...
and the laughter of the sky drips into imaginings.

* Written for a fantasy contest that was discontinued; 
its theme required entrants to describe one's mirrored
image of the self. Few comments ranged from " Nice, but I
didn't get it" to " You seemed to have overused the word
"water?" In hindsight, I asked myself," what
were you thinking? This is sloppy!"

Purpose

Everyone's purpose is as light as a floating feather. 
Unfortunately, the focus on it is like stirring mud
in weather that currently coats fog on past tense
verbs and a current that doesn't flow in any particular 
direction within current words. 
It deprives everything involved; it is misunderstood. 
In a field of dandelions that have turned into
the tooth of the lion, blow the seeds that have become 
transparently lovely, the flowers we consider weeds,
with a harmonica full of soul that makes snowfall and 
sunshine toast a drink and dance together in a 
direction that makes adjectives jealous. 
Maybe a seed will land in the sea and it will be buried
in the sand when the riptide buries the root,
and your song will become as bluesy and intense as the tides. 
There is a chance that an eagle will grace your presence and
a stranded quill will land under the part of the wing you lost
to lift you up. Even with an intense mist and heavy covering,
you're willing to ruin a good stirring spoon. 
Be grateful for however you get your feather floating.

Me Myself and I

My self-awareness is clear.
Blunt. 
It's ugly and painful. To call it enlightening, is putting it lightly.
Honestly though, it's relieving, intriguing, and totally necessary. 
Character building, and damn near life-saving.
They say "seeing is believing"... But what about these feelings? 
The temporary, non-factual, and oh so ing deceiving.
I prefer to walk this life in honesty. Real, raw, and owning responsibility. 
Without concern for the possibility of living "lonely".
My truth. 
Your truth. 
THE truth. 
I struggle to grasp how it's so hard to direct all my best efforts...
 ANot for you, not for him, or for any of them. But for me. And at least for now, only me...
Like clockwork. One, two, three. 
The bad decision making. 
I always have been, I am now, and always will be, my own worst enemy.
Some will say that they "admire" my ability. 
My ability to rep nothing more, and nothing less... Then just me. 
Inside I'm laughing.
 It's almost really ing funny! 
With a head clouded thick and smokey and a heart I seem to keep on freezing.
Painful realities, 
I continue to keep on stuffing. 
Like it's all okay. Right here, right now...
see in my eyes that my lips are saying  it. 
Again. 
Sell off another piece of my soul & commence to feeling nothing.
Turns out with all this ducking and dodging of reality, I myself am being robbed of the real me.
The chick they so ignorantly pretend to be "admiring". 
It's gotten to the point of what I deem as wasteful & petty, being sold short... 
Ultimately starving your life, my life, and this  bag Society, of true, legit beauty.
The crimes of passion that fuel within me. 
The answers remain exposed. Ever so transparently.
As I once said, my self-awareness is more than a blessing.
Granting the ability to understand what blatantly lay before me.
Allowing my swollen eyes to see ever so clearly.
Observing, the chaos and defeat.
hear me say, although I'd prefer to scream.... 
No matter the faulty choices, or the seemingly impossible hopes and dreams... 
I can be my own muse, my own Mentor, I will be just me. My own home team. 
Completely denying the hopelessness that the greatest of evil strives to feed within me

Dusk

Dusk

As the dusk summons twilight,
The sky deepens its colors.
It gathers the quiet as it demands an audience.

Transparently slow and thickening light,
Sends out a scented chill, so slight, and at will,
While the land below prepares for its darkness.

It's colors of golden, red, brown and yellow,
Submerge together in its mellow haze of lines,
And with its swift action diminishes the sun.

What beauty beholds us a gaze to its sight,
A magnificent artwork for a moment or time,
But it too shall pass with a blink of an eye.

For dusk will begrudge dawn,
With the passing hours of its shadow moon,
A partial absence of sight, I bid you a good night.

On Friendship

On Friendship

To silently support and hold your belief
To hold you up when you are consumed by grief 
To embrace you for all of your idiosyncratic forms
To exist with you beyond the societal norms

To be born of love and kindness and grace 
To know every line on your beautiful face 
To walk beside you over the passage of time 
To defend you with valour against any crime 

To believe in your tears as much as your smiles 
To conceive all of your fears and uniqueness of styles 
To hold your position when you’re too weak to stand 
To live with you through the poverty and the grand 

To scale the heights of your profound achievements 
To stand up for what’s right in the aftermath of bereavement 
To go into battle for the honor of your name 
To embrace you unconditionally through the anonymity and fame

To understand your intrinsic emotional complexities 
To encourage you on your craft, work and dexterity 
To elevate you beyond your best version of your self
To come and save you when you’re in poor health 

To allow you the freedom to express your true soul 
To endure the shared  process of what it means to grow old 
To support you on whatever opinion you take on 
To not transparently agree with you, especially when you’re wrong 

To hold you accountable for what’s true and what’s right 
To accompany you through the dark lonely night 
To give you the comfort you need in a storm 
To listen to your advice when you advise me and warn 

To grant your perspective credence and intellectual weight 
To have your back in a fierce debate 
To give you insight when you’re faced with troubles
To always tell you the truth even if it bursts your bubble 

To give our friendship the space to become a sacred bond
To help you find justice when you feel you have been wronged 
To encourage your depth and your true voice to flow 
To allow you to exceed beyond what you already know 

To inspire your courage to bravely stand tall 
To rewire your progress and retrieve you from the fall
To give you the unconditional comfort of a true friend
Who will remain by your side until our time on earth comes to an end

The End

Disturbed Creature- Am I

A poem wrote by me, based on Person who is a deserving icon but still struggling hard with his career life and addressed as disturbed creature.

DISTURBED CREATURE--> Am I ??       BY Mrs.Madhavi 

Am I so insane, Am I so mad,
Dramatic mood of mine is so die hard.
Destroyed my peace, Shattering my dreams,
People call me as disturbed creature.
As like mounting the pain, attenuating the drain!!

Digesting my feelings lying inside me,
Strangely nobody cared, call me sick.
Teasing me lavishly and my heart is pricked,
Hurted me like hell when addressed me as stupid.
As like showering rain, missing on the lane!!

Time lapse in journey of life,
Can hamper anybody on its path.
When I see innate reflex of mine,
I always use to brightly shine.
Though possessing every job attributes of mine,
I never thought the authorities will ditch and hamper my career line.
Falsely acting bloody swine, making my image as fade as wine.
As like affecting harmonious divine, my soul was, as is transparently pristine!!

Destroying me and testing my patience, Never wanna give up.
Transformed deviations, wanna rightly screw up.
I wanna raise up, I wanna shake up.
I wanna wake up, Tranquilize my mind.
Unzip the professional life compressed by the culprits.
Wanna explore myself, driving the motivated heights of journey.
Lastly waiting for the optimistic opportunity.
Cuffing the suspect ,I wanna rejoice by my pattern of life!!

Premium Member Prodigal Son Lessons

I said to my prodigal son
who stole from me,
it is not competitive economic strategies
that dominantly empower life;

Competitive ecologies and economies 
are dominantly decomposing monocultures,
just the opposite of regenerative synergetic praxis
and regenerative intent toward polycultures.

Monopolistic internal consumer-culture
develops into decomposing organic systems
dissonant cognitive 
and emotive 
and neural 
and digestive systems
diseased health and well-being
 
Socio-economic 
and politically dissociated systems,
all negatively trending toward closed-entropic,
swollen monolithic sad dismay 
replacing former therapeutic system 
glad array.

We need cooperatively dominant economies and ecologies
to reintegrate positive revolutions
that endo- and ecto-symbiotically evolve
dipolar co-arising life regenerating 
holistic healthy systems.

Competitive critical events,
like stealing from and stolen from,
struggling between painful suffering of ego-self consciousness
and "positive deviant" stress,
self co-arising right-brained redactive eco-precociousness

Contention 
seeking bicamerally balancing contentment,
joint cooperative ego-eco echoing
incoming/outgoing waves 
of double-binding comprehensive co-passioness.

Primal
and yet stealthy 
nonverbal structures
of cosmo-neuro-logical information
evolves bilateral-analogical exflowation,
cobinary
bicameral information co-redeems
transparently co-arising
EgoSelf+EcoOther resonant co-discernment.

"All money is a matter of belief"
said Adam Smith,
As all embodied wealth value 
is synergy 
for relief from self-isolating mind sorrow,
said Now MindTime to Here BodySpace.

Transparent matters 
of historic linear human progress belief
square-rooted in herstoric matriculture's transparent 
vulnerable co-communing energy
invites co-gravitational trauma relief 
from eco-political dissonating stress.

I love my prodigal self-infested son,
perhaps somewhat more than he yet has capacity
to love his wounded womb progenitor
speaking up and out
for restoring and restorying healthy
wealth of peace.

Premium Member Sleeping Man

I watch you as you sleep mysterious man.
Lost in a land of dreams - inhabiting a 
different world  to me - temporarily.

Or maybe you always do?
Do you really know me or I you?
Married, yet separated somehow by

our differences - missing the point.
Sometimes dwelling in disunited silence.
Lost in languid ignorance of one another's musing.

I long for you to touch me tenderly;
to see transparently the love that used to be.
Or maybe still is, but different now somehow.

I long for you to listen; to notice me.
A mutuality of conversation; a shared 
interest in humanity, but you dismiss me.

A rushed kiss and you are gone again.
Talking on the ever ringing phone as you 
gesture a half hearted goodbye.

Goodbye then.  Will you even notice?
When you come home and I'm not here -
how long for you to realise that I have gone?

I watch you as you sleep mysterious man.
Lost in a different reality - inhabiting a
different world to me - permanently.

Misery

Misery loves company, or so I've been told
but could it be?  just plain jealousy?   you never know!
Either way it's grating my nerves and getting quite old
who do you think you have to impress?
that you must put me down to raise your success 
all that you're doing is creating more stress  
Are you so bitter, so envious that you must one up everyone?
why can't you be truly  happy for someone? anyone?
why are you always trying to compete?
There's no need for that, we are all quite unique
but if you fight back, it becomes transparently clear
its twisted and turned, from here to there and you now
become the villain and they the victim austere 
You need to be careful with 'friends' such as these
They don't give a care, they say and do what they need, 
to get what they please,  They drain you, make you upset,
 worried and full of despair, there's no stopping them, 
by word or by deed they always condemn
They thrive on others being  miserable too,  so dear friends beware
and heed my advice, rise above them and Smile!   If you DARE ?

This world inside
filled with dalai lamas
composed of double layers,
light spirit rivers of nutrition
discerning dark flowing soul Source.

This world outside
vibrations of octave spectral light,
echoing morphology
ecosystems of desperate joy
and all primal elements between

within
without soul vibrations echoing ecowokeness,
Earth's trans-ego 
eco-symbiotic expanding integrity.

Our in/outsided nondual mindbodies,
vibrating warm souls
haunted by hate
shepherding external relationships
through ego's gate 
of transparently shared soul identity.

This species multiculturing kosmic christ,
shepherd guardians hunting paradise safety
through haunted health forests
cut and sliced into label doors
into ego hells hunting Earth's co-vegetating skins,
muting ecological echoes
feeding on heavenly root systems,
vibrant deep down shaking spirit souls,
searching our primal co-gravitations
mutually defining Earth's fully abundant neurotic rivers
spiriting nutrient light
streaming out

screaming out
breathing in
becoming bodhisattva hunter warriors

She False Me, She False Me Not

As time flies, so her emotion swiftly fries,
As life frowns to dust, so her affection swiftly drowns to lust,
As love turns to coal, so her smile swiftly runs to the cold,
As sunset sets away, so her truth swiftly upsets the root of likeness, and erects away the boldness of trust, 
but her hate doesn't rate me to roasted rat, because her hate is wingless, and no other can make her sweat and melt to hashes like I do.  

Damn! I’m damned, if I get soak in her socking beauty,
Damn!  I’m damned, if I get stolen by her golden smile,
Damn! I’m damned, if I don’t bench her lioness sex drive, I’ll infinitely feel less, like a quenched man. 
Damn! I’m damned, if I merge with her chameleon cries and battalion kisses.

If I give in fully, just for the sake of ‘be a real man’, not 'a steel man',
my life will end up like the life of a North American bug, which inflicts painful bite on love and life.
When I transparently decide to give into love, all I get is:
Vultures smoking cigarette in an uncultured manner,
Kangaroo's doing Michael Jackson’s moonwalk in a live show in Cameroon,
Monkeys ordering for coffee, while wooing female donkeys  
Zebras playing golf, with liberal views,  
Lizards rearing Afro and trying to reawaken Lazarus from the dead,
Dingo's wearing costly tuxedos in Mexico, and speaking Spanish fluently,
Frogs driving Rang-Rove jeeps, in a foggy weather
Snakes wearing condoms to nibble into snacks,
Female Goats, wearing sexy underpants, to enable them float in a sinking Titanic boat
Bareheaded demons and bears drinking chilled bears together in a beheaded mood and using chilly pepper, to chill down their temper,
Horses babysitting housewives

I trip endlessly! 
lost in a confused mood and temper, for she false me, she false me not.

I limp endlessly!
No matter how we try to put souls together to make our love bright and wealthy like the brightened face of Paris and the fat pocket of Las Vegas, 
We always end up creating a poverty of love. 

I have relentlessly tried praying forcefully for our love, 
but I end up noticing that people, who aggressively pray the most for love, end up marrying angry praying-mantis.  

I will just have to remain light-footed in love,  and let her featherweight affections for me, turn to true feelings, or get carried away, because she false me, she false me not.

Reopening a Hero S Songbook

In his songbook,
are raving songs of beauty,
which thrushes around the phrases of my mind

and embroiders my soul on an errand 
into a white night of a white Christmas, 
in a white dreamland, 
and having sleepless dreams, 
and numerous pictures, 
which I can’t clearly depict

but I could reminder an auction, 
where flood, was sold at a discount
and breath, to the tallest bidder

Therein in, 
my late hero brother, 
cheerfully sang from his hero’s songbook 

and I astonishingly sang along 
with a bright smile and cry,
craving for a new hug,
but we could not hug nor shake hands

And he palely said to me,
I am back to stay,
never to leave

But I woke up, to notice it was a white lie,

Why so, my hero brother?

I try to anger in white lightning, 
but I notice that my anger is colourless
and my sweat is adourless 
 
I also try to use white magical feelings to give him a hug or bring him back, 
but I could not,
because I am not a professional white witch, 
 
My emotions has been white washed,
and I feel like white trash,
because my hero brother has been trash away from me, 
by death 

I feel like giving up my white ghost, 
like a prostituted white slave, 

by drinking up a full tank of white spirit liquid, 
so I could be on his ream

But my hero brother begged me not to

He consoled me by saying; 
that no matter how transparently apart we where,
his soul will never stop blowing the whistle of joy 
or flash a white flag in surrender to death 

Because his music will never end, nor will his whistle blend, 
because the only thing he has freely given to death is a white feather of shame

This filled me will plenty white hope,

I will sob no more!
Because I now know that my hero late brother is a white knight

I will wait for him, in this unlabeled white land
till we meet and share hugs again

With thanks to the Environmental Defense Fund,
Advice from ecosystemic pantheists

PENGUIN:

Dive into life;
Avoid undiving into dying, stagnating in reverse-time ruminations.

Appreciate regenerative daydreams;
Depreciate decomposing nightmares.

Take long intuitive wilderness walks
away from short deductive domesticated pathways.

Stand together;
Avoid falling apart.

Go extra cooperative miles
rather than staying stuck
in competing monocultural piles
of divestment away from
polycultural health.

Keep your cool;
Sweep your warm incarnation stretch
into excarnational meanings,
hot co-arising vocations.

GLACIER:

Carve your own path
opening to bipartisan polypaths.

Go eco-slow
by stopping ego-too-fast.

Channel your strengths
with ecosystemic decomposition 
of dissonant weaknesses.

Smooth the way for others
by struggling with your own anthro-supremacist addictions.

Keep moving rationally forward
which is not irrationally backward.

Avoid meltdowns,
Embrace freeze up frames 
of dipolar co-arising balance.

Be cool, trusting,
by becoming empathically warmer.

SEA TURTLE:

Swim with the current;
Fly with bilateral enlightenment.

Be a good navigator;
Become a self-as-other optimizing listener, 
follower of Earth's nutrition.

Stay calm under pressure,
Grow resonance with wu wei midway
slower resilient revolutions.

Be well traveled, outbound,
to become less homebound,
paranoic inbred.

Think long term;
Feel short-term compassion.

Age gracefully;
re-ligiously childlike.

Spend time at the beach,
invest space in one surfing ocean 
of nurturing dreams.

POLAR BEAR:

Live large;
anthro-die down toward (0) Earthcentric.

Be thick-skinned;
Become transparently inter-religious.

Sniff out opportunities;
taste internal crisis, risk.

Learn some good icebreakers;
Unlearn some mad meltdowns.

Be fearless;
Become peace co-empathic messiahs.

Keep it cool,
not so much climatic warming
of melting EarthTribe landscapes.

Premium Member Glass Is Empty

Hindsight 20/20
Writer's block
My glass is empty!

Creative process
Transparently fragile
Must find my muse!
Must be mentally agile!

Struggling through
But no inspiration
Need some relief
From brain constipation

Finally!
Oh, what a thrill!
My muse returns
My glass starts to fill!

From immovable object
To unstoppable force
Manipulate physics?
My muse can of course!

My glass is now full
I've just posted my poem
Alas, glass is empty
My muse loves to roam!
