Truth In Advertising

I do enjoy imbibing a vintage libation
now and again (and again, and again)
but when I thought I'd bought
the best bottle of Bordeaux money can buy,
then looked at the label on the back,
before pulling the cork, I nearly had a heart attack.
'Characterised by a great body,' it stated,
'velvety cedar and hazelnut texture,'
but my taste buds went unsated,
'with an intense deep ruby red colour,' to summarise,
'possesses exceptional aromas of cherries,'
and much to my surprise,
'with hints of vanilla, blackcurrant, raspberries,
cassis and tobacco which reveal
a long, chocolaty finish and a good mouth feel.'
Altho' this above-average beverage may in time be fine,
I'm truly convinced no grapes were unduly harmed
in the making of this wine!

Beauty's Defiance

Beautiful women can be the aspects of ghosts, as their inner sincerity's hard to expose. Struck by the attractive feature, it's hard for the elegant creature's persona to be personified, character to be characterised. Warped by the untouchable shrine that's hard to define, binds your judgement, leaving you blind. So pleasing to the senses, one's reason is clouded by affection, bound by perception, thus the recollection of the fine line between mind and being visually divine is intertwined. Almost erased, left faint yet remains invisibly plain to the superficially tamed eye. How ironic that the eyes never lie, without the barrier of site, the reasoning of the mind would be hard to defy

Modigliani had a unique style
simple & characterised without guile
an oval face and elongated neck *
peculiar & sans a reality check

Premium Member Windy Gale

The wind is blowing,
Blowing strong and boisterous 
It's the wind of change
Tiffany truffles truncation.

Gale winds bowing to the
Prayer called by the Muezzin
The wind gauge is fixated
To the North's polarity.
Algorithms has altered its course.

All runing away from the curse
Of the dying whale marooned 
In the shallow waters of the lagoon
Sneaky slithering snakes
In the hub of damnation.
Dooms days gong sounding.

Gloomy reverberations all over,
Cheering jeers from the crowd.
Breeches from the leeches of Gbongbon.
Having been ditched by the es of Ab...

Orphaned by their loss 
Enters the blame game
Characterised by sore losers
Winner's have many friends
But woe to you if you are a loser
That is the nature of the game.

Premium Member Victory Holds the Keys Turning

So many people in this modern world lost souls testing our faith
pretending to have virtues locked inside a shell hallowed
Their moral rights have become so twisted with hidden lies
they have lost all values when it comes to highlighting the truth
trying to justify their own hidden weakness
The false appearance of love and caring has a deluded vision
creatures of habit attack religious beliefs
creating division condemning them unholy
characterised by delusional ideas of judgement
falling down tortured by sin craving attention
There is a price to be paid one way or the other
blindsided by the deceiver they are the tool
Destroying principles believing something that is untrue
misery always loves company punishing the good
wickedness has no mercy when it comes to the suffering innocent
The price of such a shame will come with chaos and discomfort
in the end we all know who wins

Premium Member Universal Blueprint

I stand alone and take in my surroundings..
The Earth is quiet.. the Earth is still.
Only I exist in this very moment..
In all my complexity and freewill.

This is my personal blueprint..
Uniquely created  like DNA.
It exquisitley defines my identity..
From my first breath to my last day.

I'm characterised by my birth name..
The location, date and time.
It is my future path.. and my history..
Marked where the planets and stars align.

By the constellation my stars occupy..
I am the elements of water and fire.
My gift is the Cusp of Oscillation..
Ruled by the Sun and the Moons desire.

It defines my weaknesses and strengths..
My compatible soulmates and life path.
Lucky numbers and self expressions..
This is my blueprint, my Birthchart.

The Desert

There's a vast bare land afar
Blanketed with dry brown sand-dunes.
A brown ocean with no moisture in its heart
A land bereft of rivers and streams.

The home of dorcas gazelles, blind skink, 
Camels and chuckwallas.
A pool of sand characterised by meagreness precipitation, 
Maximal drought and intense solar radiation.

A land clothed in simmering pools of mirage.
Yes! it might be barren, yet it's not devoid of life.
The saguaro cactus, Mexican poppies
And the wild flowers  are all a part of the beautiful life
hidden in the desert.
                     ...Stranja...
