Consolation of a Flight

Spreading and stretching my colorful wings,
forethought's of mounting tempered skies it brings.
The wind in my face lifting me into the stream,
with a few powered moves gliding with the warm beam.
Height in spectrum of little matter and prolong vision,
sensing moves by freedom of subtle decision.
Imprints of bodies from without,
that discern and seeing all about.
Invisible evolution by progress at will,
into purity of live precedes the calling still.
Stirring the power of mind when light strikes the eye,
spirits of the matter to motions attract the eternal sky.
Where all the waters of purpose unite and rest,
taken the constant change of maturity to test.
That concord governs all the elements,
in which all order sustains and protect outcome events.
The rising comes by season again with haste,
the calling for the home as the tired mind has its taste.
Bringing the wandering thoughts that what it seeks,
the living treasure within by truth as seeds.
Framing the laws in captured providence,
making the heart of compassion all sense immense.
All things rejoices when this is retrieved,
taken forward what is already received.

The Phantoms Family

They’re sweaty and they’re soupy
Outrageous, and moody
They’re all together fruity
The Phantoms family
Their house is a soup bowl
Where people come to condole
They really are a hell hole
The Phantoms family
Stale
Impale
For sale
So get your table ready
With a soup kettle, you can carry
They’re funny and they’re scary
The Phantoms family.



Please forgive me my friends...if anyone disagrees with these outlandish face lifting cutouts...let me know through soup mail, and I shall remove you from the premises...

...otherwise (((((Happy! Halloween!))))))

Winged Warrior...^WW^
Just goofing!
Not for any contest

Clawed Intentions

clawing intentions
thawing indentions
spinal cord snapped
back stab
face lifting
turn around face the stabs
what away jade me mental
skull boundaries lobotomies
holes
fresh air deepening
seeping through nostrils
cold war aroma induces coma
my time to go has come
who are them peoples
go mad later
go yourself
nevermind
climb another day

Premium Member The Bluest Rose

To one who stands alone my long gaze goes.
How dignified she poses here, and quite
unique and lovely is the bluest rose!

Apart from where one very large bush grows
so lush with other roses pink and bright,
to one who stands alone my long gaze goes.

Some lavender upon her petals shows
its hue of dreams and mystical delight!
Unique and lovely is the bluest rose.

Above the bush of blues, when a breeze blows,
She dwarfs them all, face lifting to the light.
To one who stands alone my long gaze goes.

The trials she has weathered, no one knows
but I alone;  I know her secret plight.
Unique and lovely is the bluest rose.

As purple streaks the sky, life’s fast pace slows,
and day begins to drift into the night.
To one who stands alone my long gaze goes.
Unique and lovely is the bluest rose.

Autumn Wind

Autumn Wind


A rushing stranger, pushing a door 

Freezing fingertips, embracing my pore

We meet face to face, lifting every tendril 

of my limp hair, numbing my ear 

 

You continue.. 

Poking through my knitted beanie 

Groaning around my scarfed nape 

Wedging in on my unbuttoned down

Swaying up my reluctant sequined gown 

 

You never stop 

Trickling into my sweatered arms 

Disarming my unpretentious charm 

Pausing over my  bounding pulse 

Coursing along my stiffened spine 

 

Autumn wind why such persistence? 

You invade my frail defense

Here I am cursing you instantly

As I walk through the way  

Where you careen tremendously..
