Where the Lesser Nature Reigns there Hell knows No Crowns
where Unguided Men follow crowds,
where the Spirit is Dormant and Obsolete
where Frenzies Run amok like Pacified Sheep,
where the Fruits of the Spirit are nowhere found
held captive by external bounds,
tethered to the Berm of the Unholy paths
where all Wither, where the soul Dithers, and Truth never lasts
Yet, by the High Road we find pastures So Sublime
through the Lands Of Penial where the Great Torch Shines
Upwards by the Fire unto the Higher Mind
there, we Travail Electric Paradigms
by Knowledge comes Ascension, by Ascencion we are Freed
by Freedom we March through the Passage of Sovereignty,
Ever Upwards from Gate unto Gate
Into Valleys and Highlands that Liberate,
7 Doors Yonder to find Thy Light
Ever So High, we Blitz into Paradise
Beware of the dangers of flags
They’re much more than colourful rags
They’re at the head of each army
And groups who are barmy
Beware of the dangers of flags
Beware of the dangers of flags
They’re much more than colourful rags
Worn by the patriotic
And the simply idiotic
Beware of the dangers of flags
Beware of the dangers of flags
They’re much more than colourful rags
If it’s a tourniquet you’re needing
They might stem the bleeding
Beware of the dangers of flags
Beware of the dangers of flags
They’re much more than colourful rags
From Hitler to Bob Menzies
They help whip up great frenzies
Please beware of the dangers of flags
I don’t mean to unnerve ya
But they’re used to create fervour
Beware of the dangers of flags.
A gentle breeze midst stormy seasons
soothing words of reason
No matter the winds blow fierce
calm the soul ~ frenzies pierce
Let’s clarify with clarity
The kind of world that we see
Where bullies win, all kindness lost
Where summer weather follows frost
Where killing and war is the new norm
Mobs of ignorance, in frenzies storm
I am over it,
I'm cancelling it,
Marriage? I am not a vow,
Until I see what I saw,
I left the effect of Aww,
I lead my life in a soar,
Please, I don't even need to listen,
My skin is still glowing and porcelain,
There is nothing to claim,
Please, for all my attornies to shut down his name,
I have my own game,
They are all the same,
I am waiting for someone special,
I don't need to feel regret,
The drama is already on set,
We just met,
I listen to the Angel's harp,
The melody is so well-played,
Still don't know me,
I get myself ahead of the game,
I am not your fool anymore,
As I am searching for more,
I would not allow myself to soar,
Without my new lover,
Who does not take me for a sober,
That one is not my beauty rival,
I already have another arrival,
Of my foremost Idol,
Whom they mistook for her,
They are like snobbish and snorty goblins,
Trying to snatch away the frenzies and even my Clairins,
I have my reasons,
Unlike her, she is not herself,
Blown out of proportion,
Oh, she bit herself again,
Bye, bye not seeing you again.
Tremolo Torrents – 12-20-23
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tremolo Torrents
Thundering fat raindrops fall,
Driven deluge in wild squalls,
Gossamer drops stream in waves
Quivering mists pour like raves,
Frenzies of clear crystal pearls
Hang from boughs in flawless swirls
Downpours shiver in rain flows
Swallow remnants of rainbows,
Tremolo thunder prepares
Hot ripples through static air
As torrents pelt thirsty ground
Sheer rain staccatos resound
Each drop reflects lightning’s fire,
Pivots wildly with desire,
Tempest’s fury rides the storm
Wind-swept raindrops leap free form.
winter wellspring
greyness dyes white clouds
brittle gales howl ice and pant ~
still meadows shiver
sequoia trees thirst
fog mists bathe redwood giants ~
rose petals gild snow
cold delirium
in frenzies of snowflake squalls ~
silver forests gleam
ice castles glitter
with gems of furious fire ~
fields of frost bouquets
twilight alpenglow
coral shadows dance on hills ~
nordic neon show
wellspring of winter
on white wings of solstice dreams ~
winter streams gurgle

She was up early that morning on a mission to feed her new fish
nose plastered to the glass she eyes the goldfish with enthusiasm
two little chubby arms wrap around a bowl of heavy glass;
Waddling to the kitchen she cliimbs a chair and pours out the
water and fish onto the sieve. " MOOOOOOOMMMMM"
Half her body is leaning inside a big sink. She's trying to catch
the squirmy little thing as it frenzies and flops "MOOOOMMM"
An afternoon cup of tea, my baby and me
along with ju-jube now we make three
with mouth agape he eats the fish food
then squiggles by as her eyes stay glued
to a fish in an aquariumm swimming free...
She was up early that morning on a mission to rescue a hungry fish
from my bedroom all I heard was the scrape of a chair and a kiss .
The End.
June 23, 2018
The cacophony, the clamor
The artificial glamour
The rush to acquire stuff
Fill the emptiness with fluff
Smother silence with yammers
Compressing questions, neglecting answers
Wisdom awaits in secluded woods
In scarlet sunsets, understood
Elicit bliss in solitude
The still in search of self precludes
Repose anonymities permeate
And soothe the restless agitate
From discordance, isolate
Reclusive paths both curve and straight
Frenzies lessens and abates
Turmoil lightens, evaporates
In lush quarantine of thought
Quietude of soul is sought
Equanimity in time alone
Replenishes soil in which dreams are grown
Feelings fraught with fright fend off the fun
Facilitated in time to run with the happy aura of the sun
To lend an air of amiability that sends my bliss bend to niche number nine
Where I learn in earnest Fidelia is mine which is fine.
Feelings fraught with foibles foil festival frenzies
Fabricated by fads and duds that detest the sight of McKenzies
Alleged to smudge and disparage the image of the page
That flatters Fidelia and Delilah alongside their selfie stage.
Feelings fraught with fantasies freeze frenetic feats
Fidelia and I achieve as we arrive to scoff at seats
That promote the vote and mote to put us asunder
Though by dint of determination our marital management refuses to go under.
Feelings fraught with flux and bucks freeze freaks
Fidelia fights and finishes for several wintry weeks
To pave the way for the realization of our penultimate plan
To endorse essential events in the custom of our common clan in our vestibule van.
This is where I am.
Who I am.
Not a little less
and more? Nevermore.
How is it that
it has
come to this?
Unfathomable congruities
don't turn to
excruciating frenzies!
How is that I rove my eyes
and I don't move
anymore?
It's evanescent... it will be no more
But
until then
Lets just sit back
and sip our casualities_______
Does he know that when I dream in the day?
The earth fades past the crown of your smile
A whirlwind in the reality awakened in front of my daze
And all that was once silent now motion and spry
As you, the ringleader for every movement’s spark
In this moment when you are all that there is
Steadfast in the notion of the whirlwind of breeze
Reality a continuum of time traveling wake
Shakes rocked and backed by the brilliant light
Your presence is the universe's calm of chaotic sight
For suddenly the moment is overtaken by a thought
Infiltrated by your presence
Unleashing upon my breast a vengeance
Body shaking in a frenzies wave
Caught in a dream of a distant array
Until there is but a dance of shimmer through my feet
Body motion endless towards the rushing energy
Of the reverie happening before my eyes
And suddenly my heart leaps
There continues the day’s flight.
Dubem, without a doubt in me
Understanding the feminine
Because - there's no other me
Emotions, climbs-heart on nine
Must those dreams kill you?.
Ojukwu, you can feel desires
Juxtapose, oh! Our dear hearts
Unmixed feelings or ires
Kwanzas for you,from my arts
Would love to catch your crazies
Uptights within, crucifies frenzies.
