Cherished Is the Night-20 Titles

Cherished is the night-20 titles

Cherished is the night,
Whenever I see you smile,
that's when I know
The reason God created love

You are my,
Portrait of love, and,
in my imagination, we are 
Dancing in the moonlight

And so it begins,
Love's sweet surrender...
When love takes hold

However, 
Within her eyes, there is,
An emptiness inside...
and she says, "You don't know me"

"why can't you understand that,
Some hearts can never be tamed"

I reply... I'm always right here

Now I'm,
All alone this evening,
and I see,
Beyond the solitude...
Just love remains.

but,
I can still hold you,
For the last time,
In my beautiful dream...

If only I could love you

Anatomy of the Oranges

you’re not adams apple 

the  fruits from tree of the knowledge 
of good and evil
in the middle of the garden of eden
in genesis

yet at you 
the round oranges of this afternoon-town 
i stare 

and my pate gradually 
becomes pregnant 

the  wind that comes after 
having a touch of your lips 
puts the waging of its tail on my forehead 

and my guava-leaf begins to melt 

thus my hardware-business is going 
into liquidation 

the physician to the king is telling 
it’s the symptom of an awful fever attended with
the morbidity of the three humours of the body 

used and used and used

your smile has not yet become 
stupid 

so from where the lamp-posts of the 
town start 

there are the cutlets  and the bolster 
they are not the only to utter the last words 

i’m too 
in this summer 
trying to  decorate 
the gate of my cage like wedding ceremony 

if any soundless dew-drop comes 
to prepare and feed me 
my birth-day frumenty 

but i’ve no tongue 
at all 

all over the face there are only the eyes

and to the fate of my staring-at 
has ever so much blessings been available

No More Fear

No More Fear 

Sam Adams 
Grew up in an abusive family
His life was filled with fear,
And despair. 
And he had no hope
For the futur. 

Then he had a dream
That someday he would 
Meet the lady of his dreams.

And she would fill his life
With love and hope
Ending his fear,
Ending his despair.

For eight years
He wandered the world
Looking for her.

Then she came to him
Overwhelming him
With the power of her love,
Ending his life of despair.
Filling it with hope.

Strong emotion 
hope, love, fear, despair

"Your focus determines your reality." —Qui-Gon Jinn

Witnessing an
amazing low-tide
phenomenon,
as if a walkway to
a parallel world
has suddenly appeared,
extending one-half mile
from East Beach
out to sea

People are slowly
gathering, walking, stopping,
stooping, staring in silence,
speaking softly—
I'm as eager
as Simon Peter
to join them, yet
somewhat afraid of
walking where
there has been
only seawater
minutes before—
Chattering dolphins
beckoning in the distance
instill confidence

So I join them,
stepping from the
beach onto the
other-worldly terrain,
first 42 steps confirming
we are not alone!
Surrounded by
a menagerie of 
sand crabs, clams,
beach flea amphipods,
sea roach isopods,
ghost, hermit, and 
fiddler crabs, even 
cannonball jellyfish—
shades of the
Mos Eisley Cantina
on Tatooine
in miniature

But beware of
semidiurnal 
tidal cycles!
Twice a day
at high tide
the sea, like an
unstable vortex
of a Chappa'ai,
consumes the 
phenomenon,
even the beach itself,
to the edge of
the dune


"The mystery of life isn't a problem to solve, but a reality to experience." —Frank Herbert

Close Encounter With Humankind Pt2

The three coyotes 
Watched this all unfold
Waiting for Sam to disappear

They knew they had a half 
An hour 
Before the OSP would appear

They pounced on Maria
Snarling hungry scarfing her 
Drinking up her fresh blood

Ripping her Up for dinner,
Enjoying their unexpected 
venison feast.

Jason the head coyote,
told the others 

“Well, Sam might be a good guy,
For a human.
Tried to do the right thing,

But he killed her 
And she died 
For us to enjoy dinner.

Such is the way
Of the world
My brothers.

But he did us a favor
Maria is fresh meat
And we will feast well 
Tonight, my brothers.

We will eat her up
But leave some 
For our brothers,

The vultures,
Who are circling above 
Patiently waiting 
Their turn to have dinner.”

The OSP came 
In due course
Saw the vultures
Finishing their dinner
Chased them off

Heard the contended  coyotes
Howling at the moon

They called Sam Adams up
Said there was nothing 
They could do
But let nature 
Take its course.

Thus ended Maria’s 
Close encounter
With humankind.

Premium Member Cosmically Deep

COSMICALLY DEEP

Did the garden weep
With the ungrateful sweep
Of their covetous hands? Deep
Was the pit of their pickpocket. Sleep
Thought merciful and kind, allowed not a peep
From their rosy lips, where sweet cheeks steep.*
A father took enough of a long leap,
Where the shepherd would tend to his lost sheep,
Absolve them - not harvest to reap
What they sow. Tis too late to stop the creep
Of the garden snake and certainly not cheap —
The stomp of its horny-head, the splintered son in a heap.
Sentient of mankind’s plight, the Son of Man did weep
as his children root in garden beds; and choose to keep
the Adams and Eves, whose restoration, was not dirt cheap.
Behold the Lamb of God did not oversleep!
The earthquake and lightning cosmically deep —
The thunder roll of an angel veep.
He sat upon the lightweight bolder. The like dead men sleep.
As in joyous weep,
Mary Magdalene and the other Mary, reap
First, the benefits of glory, not cheap.
As they did run and leap
The Lord met them along the way. They’d keep
His secret, until they’d shake his disciples wide awake from sleep.

*Here I attempt to paint a picture of a mischievous child
who when fast asleep, a mother sighs, remembering her
love for him (her) once more.

Mr. Adams. On the main deck a few feet below, my Bride, my Life. my Beautiful Wife; Lenore stood by the railing of the deck. She sent me a seductive covert wink that made my loin twitch.

Premium Member Mr Ice-T & Me Disagree

"I don't put too much into The Constitution. Ya gotta remember that this document was put 
together by a bunch of guys who thought selling (N word's) was OK, so apparently all of these guys were insane." - Ice-T

Mr Ice-T apparently
hasn't done his American History.
The Constitution had to be
voted and agreed upon by all the states unanimously.
All but two wanted to abolish slavery.
North Carolina always voted against the abolishing of slavery
and South Carolina always yielded its vote to North Carolina repeatedly.
The Constitution of The United States almost never came to be
because of the issue of slavery.
Adams was at his wits end.
His dream of a true democracy was falling apart before him.
He was then counseled by Benjamin Franklyn.
Both spent sleepless nights
trying to get the wording just right
so that they still just might
ratify this great Constitution.
Adams conceded and convinced all the states to keep slavery alive.
The Constitution was then signed by all and ratified.
Adams didn't sell out. A free nation for all in the future he still did see,
He and Ben Franklyn spent sleepless nights wording the Constitution so carefully.
All Born In America Are American Citizens, Naturally,
And Are Entitled To All Of The Privileges And Rights Of A True Democracy.
The Constitution didn't make exception to they born in slavery
so in truth, these children of slaves born in America were entitled to be free,
and hence began the abolishing of all slavery.
Our Fore Fathers were geniuses, guided spiritually if you ask me,
so you best give another review of your American History Mr Ice-T.

A Tip From Charon To Thomas Jefferson

Was it just coincidence or the work of hidden powers
that  Jefferson and John Adams passed on within few hours
 on a very weighty date indeed , which was July the fourth,
a  day of celebration uniting  south and north,
and furthermore  a jubilee that fell this selfsame year,
In eighteen twenty-six, a time of joy and cheer?
Monroe, fifth president in line,  died on the selfsame date,
though in his case I have to say he was a few years late.

At length Tom Jefferson woke up from a state like sleep,
and felt the urge to wander off and grant himself a peep.
Would Charon, grave ferryman, let him cross the Stygian brook?
The sullen figure thereupon, with a bleak  and  doleful look,  
warned the hopeful president  he’d be in for a nasty shock
once Charon’s  bark had landed him close to the Plymouth rock..
Though America had outlived wars and then  a mighty slump,
he was less sure of its chances at the blast of the final trump.
It might therefore be wiser  to rest up in heaven or hell
than on earth to witness the toll of the Liberty’ knell.
