Premium Member Sleeping Beauty - Translation From Tagore
This is my translation of Rabindranath Tagore's famous poem "Nidrita". Rabindranath Tagore (1861- 1941) was a Bengali poet, writer, music composer, and painter from Indian subcontinent. He reshaped Bengali literature and music, and Indian art as well. He was the first non-European to receive Nobel...

Premium Member Incomplete Farewell
Redolent, posh lyrics have hidden flaws.
Surrounded by a rusty sapphire sanctuary
That dampened the beauteous bronze glow.
Gold-sparkly afterglows can be sumptuary.

Surrounded by a rusty sapphire sanctuary
with acidic pollens and nervous neon wisps
Gold-sparkly afterglows can be sumptuary.
built an array of dark and wicked tale tips.

With acidic pollens...

Time To Run
These footsteps fell harder than yesterday’s
Harder than most actually
Nonetheless, the urge to take what is mine in the world and go is…
Frustratingly close to the heart of who I thought I was.
So these footsteps remind the world that running is…..

These footsteps feel heavier than last...

Retire My Pen
Speak to me my muted heart
where went your rhyming ways
The voice of a hearts deepest hour  
in mysteries a soul explained

Is your rhythm lost or simply hiding
in the noise of life as it whines
expression tied by hopes revising
sweet serenity and peace of mind

You run...

Premium Member Gaze Upon the Sky
When the twilight embraces us, so does the Light 
and with the Light comes inspiring  encouragement.  Quote _ by Poet



When I was a young child, I would lay on the green
Grass and gaze up to the cloudy dim sky.
Captive to the evening twilight.
Sun...

Dear Lover, How Cliche
Dear lover,
Sweet lover I met someone today, 
Many a compliment did he pay,
He asked of my dreams, asked of my history,
I did my best to remain a mystery,
Dear lover his interest shown through his eyes,
Sincerity in his voice unlaced by lies.
No matter the words escaping...

Premium Member Appalachian-Second Bear Episode
Meanwhile, our troop moved on down the trail.
One more bear episode needs be told.
We arrived at the next stop with out fail.
It was late evening and beginning to get cold.

Two of us went to the horse spring for a bath
And use the same one to...

Moving Home
Half a home, half a home,
Half a home conjured.
Into the jaws of skip
…….goes all we plundered.
Clear out the crap we said
Make like we now are dead
Into the jaws of death
…….our waste was thundered.

Get rid of all the ****
we must not keep one bit
Time now to...

Rapacious  Itch 


It felt things coming, 
The undeniable bottom feeder reality, 
Where thought had no credulity, 
Where irrational emoting ruled, 
Void of mind’s prep, 
Blind of light’s revealing purpose. 

Such remained 
This well-rehearsed and produced 
Pulp life infestation. 

It remembered… 

Once many clambered to...

Black Body, ***** Spirit
I.

I am one with who I am.
I own my black body
and I cherish my ***** spirit.

In this world, I cannot deny
either, for they both have
equal claim to my existence.

Together and not separate,
black body, ***** spirit. 


II.

Silence: noun, “Refusal or failure to speak out.”

My body, covered...

Premium Member Wild Words
My words in sonnets, haiku, or "fences"
Only for you my endearing true love
Worry about voice, rhymes, and tenses
Only for you my prettiest pet dove

Carefully I slip each word on your string
Meaningfully picked and perfectly placed
To split your heart open and hear you sing
Sweet, sultry nothings...

Last 2012 Friday
Last 2012 Friday

Sitting here
Friday night
Feeling so hopeful
Jazz horns blaring in my ear
Feeling light headed positively
Bartenura positively without a care
naive kind of silliness 
Wanna jump up and start lindy hopping
Don’t know how to lindy hop

Ready to greet this New Year
Promising to fill each day
Constantly dwelling in...

Little Red
Full Moon Brimming 
On A Hungry Wolf
Fire still burning 
Words are not enough

Red Riding Hood,
You stopped me where i stood.
The basket you held, looked so good,
I enticed...And you fell... 

In the woods... safe and sound
We could not believe what we had found
Me in denim... and...
