Premium Member Arctic Acuity


mind marooned 
in 
complex convolution
of
singular anonymity 
morphs morbid  
into
psychic silhouette 
deprived despised
of
enlightened elements 
of
acquired attributes 
abruptly waned 

reserved recess 
conceals conundrum
of 
sub-conscious search 
completely clueless
for 
exploration entreaty
as
persuasive ploy
of 
outside world  
can’t contrive 
forsaken mind

pining prisoner 
of 
own making
captive cocoon 
in 
introvert isolation
innate vision
scans sightless
faces fading 
in 
fathomless oblivion

morphed mind 
accepts acquiescent
archenemy Nemesis
makes a menagerie 
of 
moving mirage
mystique guide 
to 
illusion oasis 
reflecting radiant
from 
cobalt cauldron
confined contentment 
of
identity reverence

self-veneration 
pretentious perspicacity 
of 
fake facsimile 
invents Narcissus 
as 
secret switching 
over to obsession
as 
senseless specter  
languishing listless
beneath 
opaque stratum 
of 
arctic acuity 
as
petrified essence
in 
darkness frozen

president, would never forsake
abnegation (sooner his cold,
dead paws pried loose Putin
on the Ritz Carlton), this
abomination, his indiscriminate

abrogation appears (underwent)

Americans aver acceptation,
acclamation, acclimation,
accommodation "FAKE"

accreditation, averse Hispanic
refugee acculturation, he blithely
asseverates, viz faux (trumped up)
accumulation unfairly fingering
accusation (baseless bigotry)

scapegoating fifty plus shades
brown illegal aliens despite
provable residency status
conveniently citing himself
perforce repetition validates

accustomation touts "FAKE"
non hardy laurels spilt, spelt,
and smelt acetification reign
ruination unleashing acetylation
promoting political acidulation

SCOTUS acrimonious activation
authoritarian smug egoistic
actualization nepotism, jingoism,
despotism actuation atavistic,

Unite To Peacefully Overthrow Trump Administration Part Ii

oft times brutal not so short, 
but nasty acknowledgement, 
(this anonymous, conscientious, efficacious...
frivolous gent writhes at bloody history), 
yet mindful premeditated how to be worthy, 
and now feels forced to be acquiescent

(as well other citizens might) calling 
(er...actually writing), an August 
aegis body vowing to be adherent 
to codas, doctrine, ethos...adjacent
with government sanctioned destruction, 
and indefinite adjournment

of peaceful coexistence with native peoples, 
who never accepted unfair (raw deal) adjustment
(most often forced with violence) preceded, 
and/or followed by admonishment
of aggressive, corrosive, deceptive...
indiscriminate butchering and adolescent 

women and children, 
an irrevocable Janus-faced advancement 
fate awaiting all aboriginal tribes 
fueled by advertisement frequently with bounty
fast forward to present age of affluent
price tag to lobby and or represent

deliberate gerrymandered voting districts, 
where trumped up agent orange 
iz new black aggrandizement
finds Donny Brooks saturing the media
with proclamation defamation of this very day 
stigmatizing valuable news as so subtly "FAKE"!

Premium Member Christmas Calling

Christmas is calling~ Get your decorations out.
In these hard days, it will help you to not pout.

The lights don't belong in a box when people are filled with fear.
Get them on early, light them,and God you will be bring you cheer.

There's simply no reason to dwell on these insane times.
So decorate early, trust me, it will make your heart shine.

It's up to you, to make this the most joyous time of year.
Who cares what people think?

Most of the world is intoxicated on media covid-cocktail drinks.
And I do soulfully think that exaggerated fear plain stinks!

We are still social animals, who need one another.
For shame on all, who think we must hide at home under the covers.

Just saying~ living in lockdown since March?
Is more than any human should take, such a political farce!

It's more than disgusting to be blocked from spiritual solace,
BUT oK by government loons, to in gambling partake.

Or worse, allowed unlimited to harm others in a riot.
But to meet with the leader of the free world, no they won't allow it?

Drunk on fear, freedoms gone out the window.
Do you really think you will get them back, as you won't do a thing!

Or...Just hide in acquiescent shadows?

Premium Member The Tease

I saw her walking down the darkened gallery,
Beneath unlit Venetian chandeliers,
I glimpsed her acquiescent smile
That never left her lips,
A smile that animated pleasure
And instilled a prick of wonder,
And an expanse of love.
 
With some embarrassing misdemeanor,
I tiptoed forth and fell in step with her,
I, bold and daring;
She, a feigned timidity in her mien.
 
Her flared skirt rustled softly against my leg,
And in the silence I felt 
Her hand brushing against mine,
Her long fingers curled delicately
And intertwined with mine.
A moment of time, split second of ecstasy,
Our eyes met in a finite profound gaze,
And her lips quivered.

And then.....

All was as before.
Smoothly we drew apart,
Steps never faltering,
As she hurried away
Into a maze of corridors,
To meet her love.


Premium Member Primary Deflections

Those who tell us to be NICE
aren’t
they shout their PC gospel
in your face
while admonishing you for
your rebuttal
They accost each other
like third graders
left alone in the
school yard
and
when cornered
by a simple inquiry
point wildly
SHOUTING
“He/She started it”
for
they cannot abide
the sound
of one hand clapping
insist on offering
validation
of the absurd
with their inanely
unrelated
talking points
they have not learned
that
“sound bites”
leave teeth marks
on the rational
of acquiescent
assemblages
that
wildly waving arms
and grimaces
only serve to remind us
of crazy
Uncle Charlie
and since
we cannot call
a duck - a duck
we nod
purse our lips
look at the list
of cloned clown
candidates
hesitantly pull
the lunacy lever
sadly place the
I VOTED
sticker
in our pocket
having exercised
our RIGHT
our PRIVILEGE
to vote

Premium Member Ah, To Love Again

Ah, to love again, rekindle lustless flame
too long allowed to fade in embered chill
renew within my heart forever's name
empty the space that only she can fill.

Oh, heart, how long the cold has had its way
smothering the warmth of touch or sight
imprisoning in endless gateless gray
love's gentle breeze adrift upon the night.

Must I, in solitude, accept this fate
resign myself to acquiescent fear
or rise and in my solitude orate
in whispered penitence into her ear.

Oh, love, would you embolden me once more
imbue me with the fervor of thy flame
admit that she's the one I so adore
and whisper to myself my lover's name.

Ruminating

I,I,I,I, don't know what got me here.
My soul is impacted with heartbreaking despair, and logic is dim and unclear.
Should I have?
Should I have stopped him from walking out the door?
Should I have expressed my feelings more to the core?
Was I?
Was I too intrusive or hollow during his moments of introspections?
Was I beastly in measuring his fervor revelations?
Now I.
Now, I sit and stew and contemplate if we ever were compatible.
Now, I think that maybe I grazed his tender brow on how a relationship should work, and I think; is my demeanor implacable?
Was I?
Was I on a collision course to destroy the nature of such an acquiescent and loving man?
Was I less attentive during our talks and more distrait and that, maybe that's how it all began?

Many days befuddlement has siege my mind rendering me illogical and blind.
Many days I find myself standing in front of the mirror, bare of any wanting to make anew.
Many times I tell myself that it was my phlegmatic spirit that causes our love affair to fall through.
Many days my brooding has no resolution, potion, or notion.
Maybe.
Maybe the situation is not as complex.
Maybe he will call or maybe he will text.
Maybe my state of mind is too devoured, and I care less what happens next.

Premium Member Vanished Like Mist





                                               Vanished Like Mist


Now I wonder, ponder, persuade the mind to wander in an abyss of what may be

Plowed and clawed then probed to find a reason for frenetic rumblings within me

As time passed unabated, skin hides pain beneath waves of what these eyes see

The heart trembled: is myopia or enmity reason why I have not found Amy Lee?


Love is not a game man coerces into submission then drags its spirit underwater

Auguring, kneeling, begging will not make it acquiescent to what one may prefer

Precious memories evoked by the hungry heart impalpably depart and disappear

What remains are remnants, reminders of the haunting past...that I had lost her

Springtime Jewels

A rose bud of beauty appears on the scene scented full of essence 
two cellophane wings clinging to the petals of a sweetie floret 
life becomes new again as spring resurges with sunlit liquescence
Springtime jewels enhanced by the blaze of a  salubrious ray  
glitters of the morning placing us among the living once again    
acquiescent rebirth, we can finally envision a beautiful day 
Baseball fields, cracking bats and whooping laughter glances  
children playing in fields of flowers restored, revived, alive  
park bench kisses,  moonlit walks and balcony romances    
Soon the days will seem much longer, as we stroll delightful 
wildlife will re-echo her song, and we'll feel  powerful , 
once again.
