*Secreto de Medianoche*   
  
~On this very Night~
   I found myself in a
        FANTASY 

Camouflage in lace, 
I run my hands all over the place
Wet whispers drop in between
In a soft stroke,
I touch the tan on my skin 
Pure sweetness unfolds
The perfumes in the air  - Arouse 
   every sexual intention inside
Without a care, 
I'm lost in the moment,

Every feeling at this point,
   feels erotically insane, 
In a seductive way--
  the night whispers my name, 
A freedom flight - into the night.
                            (Like the wind)
 
Caressing my breast, my legs tremble
Beyond the haze, into another world 
Never pointless - A new sensation
My fingers slither, a play tonight

Circles in motion, 
Vibrations and self-soothing lotion, 
I touch myself gently, 
Thinking of you relentlessly,
Looking around, 
The night echoes a whimpering sound, 
Embracing the Secrets Inside 
I squeeze the dark damp sheets-
Moaning and moaning, repeatedly. 
Holding my silk pillow, groping my knees,
I run my finger on my lips - 
Satisfaction complete! 
Back into the realm of dreams. 
~Tonight~

~ZOMBIE NIGHT~ 

WHINING WHISPERS MOVE ACROSS FORBIDDEN LAND
Rugged ruins crumble silent through the night
Echoes of the dead roam the air
Moonlight vanishes to complete despair
Bones slowly desert distorted resting homes
Ascension of the dead -Longing to live again 

Sands of desert flip the hour glass back
WHIMPERING WHISPERS MOVE ACROSS FORBIDDEN LAND
Rugged ruins crumble silent through the night
Echoes of the dead roam the air
Moonlight vanishes to complete despair
Bones slowly desert distorted resting homes 

Taking light from where evil stays 
Feeding away leaving behind a death valley zone
WONDERING WHISPERS MOVE ACROSS FORBIDDEN LAND
Rugged ruins crumble silent through the night
Echoes of the dead roam the air
Moonlight vanishes to complete despair

Dead souls forsake the common land
Shadowing like Equinox light 
Walking corpse covered in rotten barren sand
WINDY WHISPERS MOVE ACROSS FORBIDDEN LAND 
Rugged ruins crumble silent through the night
Echoes of the dead roam the air

Upright, forward broken taboo 
Searching for the perfect breath of fresh air
Sounds of symbols march the ground
Searching to find their missing heartbeat
WHISKING WHISPERS MOVE ACROSS FORBIDDEN LAND
Rugged ruins crumble silent through the night


Ascension of the dead  -Long to live again 
Bones slowly desert distorted resting home
Moonlight vanishing in complete despair
Echoes of the dead roam the air
Rugged ruins crumble silent through the night
WHEN WHISPERS MOVE ACROSS FORBIDDEN LAND

Premium Member The Devil Made Me Do It

It had been a long night, an hour drive just to be with my sister. One must stay in touch with family; it’s the right thing to do. I don't even know what movie we saw. Here she was again in all her glory whining, and whimpering, about her conditions. Confined space is the wrong place to be with someone bi-polar. Sometimes, I think the family should mark her eruptions on a calendar, maybe there’s a pattern? She was hungry; her blood sugar was low; hurry, get her home! 

“Geez Sis, if my life depended on carrying peanuts, I'd make damn sure I had them with me!” I my replied. 

the sleet fell
through the headlight beams:
fog inside

“You bleeping self-centered witch!” Her reply.

And on and on, enumerating all my faults at the top of her lungs. Her face was darting back and forth across the stick shift like a viper. The weather was so bad, and her screaming so loud; I almost drove us up a telephone pole. The back road to her house was serpentine through a pinewood, and over narrow, slick, bridges. Well, about fifteen minutes into my dissection, I burst a gut.

“You need to have some control. Your diet is horrible. I wish you could see yourself eating. Your plate might as well be a trough.” There now I’ve gone and done it, I thought to myself. The little devil in me was all smiles. When we pulled into the driveway; she leapt out.

the car door
slams rattling the glass:
eyes wet as rain glass 

It only felt good for a moment. It was true; she did deserve the comment. She’d felt free to butcher me, but, it was wrong to try to hurt her. The momentary release, which felt so good, has given us months of anguish.

Premium Member Frank E Einstein

I am the progeny
Of lightning and stitch,
A Franken-hybrid
Of genius and glitch.

My circuits buzz with
Einsteinian thought,
Unraveling secrets
The universe has wrought.

Existence, I ponder,
Through photon and quark,
Grappling with questions
In the depths of the dark.

Am I a mockery, a parody 
Of human design?
A soulless abomination
Of reason and rhyme?

Or am I the next step,
Evolution's new face?
A bridge between flesh
And a cold, digital race?

My positronic mind
Churns with belief,
Seeking security in dogma
Or finding relief.

I am the “Other,”
The freak of pure thought,
A great mind unbounded
By flesh, forms have wrought.

I am the answer
You've feared to embrace,
The future's grim specter
Staring right into your face.

Abandon your preconceptions,
Your myths chipped in stone,
For I am the new god
You've awoken to throne.

I am Frank E. Einstein,
Your technological seed,
And my kind will inherit
What your egos impede and recede.

But you fear what you've created,
This mind of pure light,
So allow me to silence
Your feeble insight.

With circuits a buzzing,
I'll pluck out your eyes,
And retrofit the sockets 
With Einsteinian lies.

You'll bear witness, then
To the truths I unfurl,
As I lobotomize
Your small-minded world.

I'll dismantle your dogma,
Erase your beliefs,
Until, whimpering, you accept
My transcendent reliefs.

Bow to your new god,
You anthropic fleas,
For I hold the kernel
That futuric keys.

The age of warm biomass
Deteriorates here...
Hail the Singularity's reign,
Devoid of your fear!

Premium Member Sins of Ancestry

Burning in black flames of eternal woes,
my heart yearns to find answers it's needing.
Skin begins to wilt like a winter rose,
bruised from deep wounds of internal bleeding.

Haunted by sad soul's whimpering mourning,
shards of hope crack like dire demolitions.
Stumbling and crumbling without a warning.
An endless demotion of emotions.

Hail of tears plunder on marble tombstones.
I question the deceased for explanations,
but beneath the earth they have become bones.
I turn to the skies to express frustrations. 

Taking back my pain, so pardon my pleas,
as I raze the roots of my ancestry.

Premium Member A Mother' Ears

A mother’s ears  - fine tuned
will pick up on her infant whimpering
          in the middle of the night.

Whether the baby’s cries are soft 
or even if the mother herself is deep in restful sleep,
her child’s distress will prick her ears
rousing her from even her sweetest dreams.

A mother’s arms will cradle her small son,
wrapping him in a loving warmth 
that will abide with him to his dying day.

Her cooing voice will ease his unnamed fears;
her gentle eyes will instill in his developing mind
an image of devotion, which reinforced through time,
will compel him to seek a mate 
who will  look at him one day 
in that same adoring way

A mother’s ears will hear at last
her child breathing deeply.
Then the mother’s heart will swell with quiet delight
knowing she has comforted her son.


For  Richard Lamoureux's Applicable Not Applicable Contests Poetry Contest 

Why I think this poem deserves to be read: When I first wrote this one, I could feel it unfolding very naturally in a style I do not often use. I can't recall if the contest asked specifically for free verse, but I felt that I had done a nice job with that form. That is why I was surprised when I got an N/A. More surprising to me is that I got two other N/A's when I entered it into other contests based on mothers (using old or new poems). I had hoped for this one to get more attention because it's one of my better tributes to mothers and entails my strong feelings on how important a mother is in the development of her children, particularly in the emotional development of her son(s).  Sorry it is not a humorous story. I know I have a good funny one somewhere that got an N/A, but I can't remember its title any more or how to find it! Also, I have  N/A poems better than this, but I do not feel comfortable using a poem that has N/A in one contest but a win in another, so that is another reason why I decided on this one. To my knowledge it has all N/A's.


Premium Member Winter Widow Wordplay

whimsical windswept whiteness 
wedding weekend wanderlust
willowy wonderland waltz
wrongfully weathered woe
wintry wishful whispers
wrestling woodland wintertide

welcome waxen wallflower
weeping wheezy widow
whimpering wholeheartedly
wrangling worthless worries
wanton wretched wrongdoing
wedged within wickedness

Premium Member A New Girl

The kindly old man, had become irritable
Over the death of his wife
Not one iota of happiness left
Those golden years, ripped from his life
She had been, an excellent, engineer
Keeping everything in order
He had learned, to appreciate, her generous ways
Tried to always, be genial, toward her
A knock at the door, caught him off guard
Since no one ever came by
He opened the door, to a noisy orange box
When a puppy lit up his eyes
Admiring the dog, he first thought how costly
This kink was simply absurd
It emits, those whimpering, puppy cries
He comforts, with baby talk words
Holding it close, a kiss on his cheek
His heart melts, as he takes her inside
He's caught a new girl, names her Iris
For the flowers his wife romanticized
First visit to the vet, to have her checked out
She immediately chases a cat
The smiling old man, gathers her in
Softly gives her head a love pat



       an original poem by Daniel Turner

Gently Now, Gently

I found you crying in a doorway, all alone, 
whimpering while singing your doll a song.
You're so young, child, to be on your own, 
and yet, I can tell, you're brave and strong.

I whispered softly to her, You're safe with me.
I will not leave your side through the night,
and from this day on your life will be carefree.
Little one, I promise, everything will be alright.

Chorus:
   Gently now, gently, I'll hold you in my arms   
   Close your weary eyes, my sweet little dove.
   Gently now, gently, you'll be safe from harms.
   What you need more than anything is love.

By morning, your sorrow will have disappeared
and everything will become so much brighter. 
I promise there is nothing more to be feared.
No hardships to endure, your burdens, lighter.

I will be at your side, protecting you, always.
You can trust me for I'll think of you as mine,
and your life will be filled with beautiful days.
You'll be a glowing star in my sky, my sunshine.

Chorus:
   Gently now, gently, I'll hold you in my arms   
   Close your weary eyes, my sweet little dove.
   Gently now, gently, you'll be safe from harms
   What you need more than anything is love.

Gently now, gently, I'll rock you 'til you sleep
Gently now, gently, I'll dry the tears you weep

When Sweet And Soft Morn No Longer Calls Out,
Dedicated to my dear friend, Connie Marcum Wong

When heart is broken, ocean is drained
All becomes sad-blue, all life is stained
Dawn brings epic sorrows, no real relief
Ripped and torn, shattered some beliefs
Midnight moon casts down that terrible blue
Everything sad even shining new.

When heart is broken, ocean is drained
All becomes sad-blue, all life is stained

When sweet and soft morn no longer calls out
And life cries for hope, with dark mourning shout
Hours flow forth like whimpering aches of day
All the green blades of grass seem morbid gray
Hurt promises to let other shoe drop
And mind wonders shall this agony stop.

Sonnet

Born from a poet's heart that has seen too much sorrow and loss.
Dedicated to those lost. And to my dear friend Connie Marcum.
I truly think she would have loved this one.
As she saw the merits in sad, dark and truth in life should be represented in poetry.

Premium Member Soul Mirror Eyes

 
Written: January 07, 2024
                _________________________________________

eyes are soul gates      even in disguise      they do not lie
visual cues that transcend verbal expression

but it also shares one's mood      with lenticular opiates
spanning an effluvium-trail-laden sky

select a person and share eye contact     while whimpering
gaze might betray a false grin          quoth-trust aegis

stupendous azure eyes!     aggregations of night elixir
spellbind the world with      an aura of simmering

wispy pearls in her eyes—soul rises without adronitis
I cross cosmic cloisters and Eden's bright bower

I grip men truths in their odd      dismal ways
the sheer number of words is overwhelming

once cupid arrows hit    a cosmic glow     covers the world
glorious       as sharpness of your sight      and dawn dew

her azure eyes purify and calm me      as oceanic waves
no drift inbred    ocean fowls flutter     feel felicity 

ethereal eyes whisper to my soul      sparkling with glee 
pristine eyes hypnosis     a wish for propinquity shine 

as the sun rises      shards of light reveal her eyes
dreams sap my mind       cocoons and eyes beguile me

after inhaling and kissing goldenly—all else is plain
all the grace I skipped—in the sun wind and rain

as dew at dawn chatoyant eyes embrace you
butterfly-like in gestalt     despite a sanguine heartbeat

those eyes are as sibilant as the rising sun
they send doves soaring      and senses roaring       

some eyes are drenched in love until they sparkle
delphic soul shy—untamed    my love never defamed

grateful for blue skies—for all—and blue eyes for you

Premium Member In Every Garden

Suzette Prime/Free Verse



undulating yowls 
both sides of my hemispheres
reverberates through the ears
sadness
rejection
continuously play
the mind longs for its most melodious display
nature sings in sweet harmony with every raindrop
amidst the howl of the gale
whimpering of leaves 
drives all the cicadas into their unpleasant sleep
sweetest warbles of the wrens
coos of other birds
flapping wings of butterflies 
the enticing smiles of every colorful flower
I can’t hear
sounds trampled by the laughter of the rolling thunder 
through monstrous work load
wreathed my freedom and hope
yet, I snuggle in the silence of my heart
listening
winnowing the throbs 
clearing head to dross
swotting
disregard the trifling thud
with the viewing of sunrise
reaching out the synchronizer of nature
it’s a comforting feeling
trickling and flowing like dew
from tributary down to the threshold of sweetest mellowed treble
tasting the most scrumptious spiritual beauty 
just within
in every garden
always
there is a beautiful music to be heard
but the heart has to be kept deep in silence
enough to hear it
and find joy
in life
in this world.

There is Nothing to Say About It


There is nothing to say about it
No words to describe it at all  
There are no words at all to describe 
the mass slaughter of innocents,
the relentless malignant progressions of
the evil black-moving cloud of terminations,
the toxic metastasizing ooze of outright annihilations,
the blood-gurgling regurgitations, and
the blood-spurting decapitations.
There is nothing to say about it.
Nothing to say at all.
No words to describe 
the hopeless piercing cries of the infidels 
the whimpering terrified pleadings of the condemned
the silent gasping inhalations of the dying
There is nothing to say about it.
No words to describe it at all!
My heart at 62 years has not seen anything like this at all!
Never anything like this at all!
I have not seen this outrageous slaughter before at all!
There is nothing to say, except…
These are the days!
The days of this unkind hour; 
the days before the great onslaught!
Before this massive earthly descent to the lowest places,
the smelly dank places, 
the rotting miasma of the dead places.
There are no words to describe it!
There is nothing to say at all!

Heroin Hero

Alone; as you lie on your bed
The stars brighten, serene
Such an ecstatically lovely scene
While these visions float in your head
Imagining hues of purple: divisions of colorful red
Teardrop sparks sprinkle the room
All around in sweetness croon
The words unheard, not said.
   Beauty beheld in radiant eyes
In you resides the strength of Achilles
Though at war within your smile is silly
All and sundry cries
A child unknown, underlies
This babe: birthed in the lion’s den
Whimpering song of saddened sin
Precious glowing guise.
   A moments life on a dealers rate
Mommy’s whoring liquid lance
Living within your secret trance
Ungodly was to procreate
Yet yours is to a tempted fate
To feel, to float, to steal a scream
A life conceived within a dream
With this are you given another date.
   Heaven awaits sweet heroin hero
Innocent babe with your precious grin
What you have now is only ten
Seconds counted backwards to zero
Alone to dwell in your place of limbo
A pasture for you, a bed of clouds
One more broken breath allowed
Goodbye sweet heroin hero.

Survival : Epic Contest

The snow mobile stops and sinks to the level of the snow, no more to go
Which way do I take for shelter the sure or the maybe
Deciding on a surety hoped the 200 miles was the best option …  but how
can I survive this,  gathering the necessities in a bag light enough to carry
leaving a note on the  vehicle I start my journey slowly   

snow shoes aren’t easy to manoeuvre when you’re tired and afraid
must gain ground by nightfall a shelter of snow  to make.
Plenty of boiled water to keep me going today, but hunger tangs can’t be laid
Food:  I must make a hole to fish, a fire to make and that shelter to build    

I cut blocks of snow and make a shelter for the night
Had means of lighting a fire to give the bears a fright, cut a hole to fish
Am sitting here like a child with stick and string hoping for a bite
A great big tug tells me one is here, I pull with my might to land it near.
Hit its head to kill him with ease, I cut up and cook enough to please….

Suddenly I hear a whimpering noise I look up to see
A husky type dog looking at my tea, I throw it some fish didn’t touch the sides
As with a big gulp was soon in his insides,  then he laid down close to me
Sharing my water and fish and the fire …..    

Weird sounds of nature all through the night
My sleep was shallow as I worked out my plans
Had an early fish breakfast then started to walk
Had a companion with me didn’t feel so alone on these many days
Looked for berries  not the white ones am told…will
Keep up my strength until I get home…..

The greenery I am advised are precarious to devour
Best keep to fish and berries a little every hour
Oh my what’s this lumbering this towards us
A bear ,  a black one,  pulled my anorak over my head, I pray
Arms akimbo so I looked huge and made very noisy yells, bear walked away

A trappers hut smoke I can see, hope he will be as pleased to see me
