Premium Member Strain

Ply precious play with profound poise,
Opt to be brave when strain meets pain;
Intuit the way to discern choice,
Grace comes to save touch not in vain;
Now watch good times frame cheer and wealth,
Ask to see truth as shadows sweep;
Note how thoughts rhyme with happy health,
Take heart in proof as love lives deep.
Seek that sure light where affluence shows,
Thrill in the feel of sure embrace;
Reap mystic sight that ever grows,
Apt voice syncs will in cheery grace;
Insight shows best the inner quest,
Nurture calm zest as dance meets fest.

Abide sure grace with a true heart,
Make moments grand and seize fond flair;
Ply your own face as cheer now starts,
Live well dear friend your feisty airs;
Embrace the feel of zest that blooms.
Affluence grows well with profound peace,
Frame thoughts that heal as touch now zooms;
Frame how you dwell with lovely ease,
Loiter with jest as wit fits cast;
Urge joy to stay here on the way,
Employ deep fest from first to last;
Note how each day springs forth to play,
Come seize grand hope with profound poise,
Etch love's pure scope to succeed choice.

Save Your Tears

I saw Man City with no hope 
It cheers me up to think of Arsenal
May be, I will witness another UCL Arsenal season 
But it is better I don't say how I feel 
Though, I am gonna be better 

It has never happened like this 
May be in the ancient time I don't know of
For all I have seen, it has always been real 
When one team is to serve a ban 

Lets not pretend as if all is right 
Appealing two years ban 
Can't turned to be zero 
Hmm!  It could be money thing 
Or the affluence of the club owners

Let all fans save their tears 
We are up and doing well 
FA cup will be good after all
Whatever comes may
Arsenal shall win EPL next season

After Easter

Hawkish angels with golden bows
chase away shawnee and wolves.
A sinewy faith built the rough and ready.
We were pleased to claim this land
for Jesus.

Despite the tornadoes,
we continued to raise
Midwest cities
from a leather flogged bible.
We were conceived in closets
where ancestral bones watched.
Buried in leased plots;
stones marked our lack of,
or notable faith in affluence.

Just past Easter, cracks appeared
in a pink painted sky.
An ethereal plaster crumbled.
angelic limbs hung,
caught in a cracked tableau.
Plastic arrows littered marbled floors.
A mall dream, but the dream had legs
unseen, they kept running
on the spot.

Log cabins transported themselves
to Theme Parks.
The Tuesday after Easter
hope clogged casinos,
took root.
God began to fill
storage units
with all His kids 
persnickety dreams.

Starmade

A human tornado,
driven,
by influence,
by affluence,
by effluence.
The flotsam and the jetsam.
Come and get some.

I would not have came here
were it not for you.
You blame the walls,
I bounce off the walls.

The gift horse is here,
we claw at our eyes as he opens his mouth.
I stare into space and stare into space,
nothing, then galaxies pass by at pace.
starlit hands caress my face,
I am a human race.

I tell you of flying saucers and topless barmaids,
but you never believe me.
You tell me a fungus has spawned in my brain,
And as I was lost, I am found,on ground, again.

For a moment there you took me off task,
retreat or surrender, was that the ask?
But my lungs start beating,
and I breathe through my heart.
It is life that I cheat,
It is death where we part.

And in my pink and black neon euphoria,
I roll up my sleeves and I am back in the game.

Premium Member Justice For All

time marches on
reality's fire consumes—
dreams go up in smoke

Dishonest weights, deceptive scales forsake
as chains of injustice rake the flesh
of the preyed-upon bleeding, amid wild
wolves feeding, soft sheep bleating,
protestor's pleading, jurisdictions cheating,
cajoling, wheedling, injustice repeating—
jurisprudence at the confluence
of affluence and influence

~undocumented lies exhumed
     unmitigated truth entombed~

They have their thumb on the scale!  We
have sussed every detail on the field of
debris, some so fiercely taking a knee,
others shot trying to flee!  "I can't breathe,"
"I don't care!"  Why don't they care?
Of what justice is meting beware!
One higher than the highest is watching,
waiting to signal the one riding to conquer
and complete his conquest.  What's the true
future view?  What more can we do
before we become past tense?

tragedies worldwide
flooding my senses daily—
fill my bag of tears

Premium Member Wonder

Wise eyes feel free to see the light,
Observe the truth just as it is;
Now let joy be ever in sight,
Dance happy proof where love moves bliss;
Etch visual craft as affluence shows,
Rich textures frame the sparkle grand.
Feed sublime draft that profound flow,
Ink stains play games with thoughts and trends;
Nurture fond dance to reap sure chimes,
Delight primes wit in precious space;
Stillness knows trance beyond all rhyme.
Jump till life fits the pun you trace,
Oblige dream flights with poignant feel,
Yes sense how light moves sacred thrills.

HEART THAT WORSHIPS THE LORD

Our heart worships the Lord through His favour
As He besieges us by His compassion’s fervour
To teach us His truth of knowledge-savour
For our faith to be strong toward holy endeavour.

Our heart worships the Lord through His instruction
As He leads us by His direction’s perfection
To control us with His sovereignty-function
For our will to be surrendered toward heavenly action.

As He revives us by His power’s might
To use us according to His desire-delight
For our worth to be valuable toward eternal flight.

As He welcomes us to His friendship’s relationship
To nourish us with His authority-leadership
For our effectiveness to be fruitful toward faithful stewardship.

To satisfy us with His supply-embracing
For our gratefulness to be constant toward worshipful praising.

Our heart worships the Lord through His presence
As He meets us with His love’s iridescence
To assure us about His promise-affluence
For our trust to be steadfast toward prayerful influence.

Bright blessings bloom in that sure light,
Exult with grace what fancy feels.
Ask for more room to fashion right:
Charm wears a face to forge goodwill,
Hurl pure joy then as change finds fit;
Allow crisp cheer a mellow voice,
Note how and when to sync fine wit;
Glimpse love right here that sparkles choice,
Etch words that niche the path of peace.
Arrive with health that knows the way,
Gain happy pitch with profound ease;
Embrace sound wealth as affluence stays,
Notice that blame is hollow stuff,
Thrill your good name with acts enough.

The Night Glenfell

The Night Glenfell

         A summer solstice candle breezing midst the twilight air  
                                                          Where aloft the dizzying height of storey twenty four
                                                         That gazed with envy upon firm Lancaster Green below

(brutalist style,) A concrete pitted monument that yearned for the great celeste
                          Brutalist pinnacled cage that cements the scape
                          Where concrete structures eradicate the green 
                          And take their place betwixt an urban utopia
                          It couldn’t happen again, not after Lakanal
                          Same thing! An electrical fault on some cheap device
                          And wrong protocol that caused sad loss of life
                          So Grenfell Tower had earned its landlords easy money
                          Their affluence procured from the deprived
                           

                          
(  one exit
Overlooked rich Kensington and Chelsea. Deprived Grenfell.  Extremes of poverty and affluence.

Lakanal House fire 2009 loss of life. The deceased given the wrong protocol. No lessons learnt.)

The flames played havoc, a creeping plumage that consumed new cladding
Where silent souls submitted to the wealth of intense heat
Free light for rich Chelsea and Kensington to peruse
Across the great divide of worth
To witness this sacrificial rite of greed
One exit to free them from their plight
Secured within this night-time prison 
Where embers from the debris punctured the sky
And fell like tears upon the deep below
As the blaze took hold with vengeance square
Who knows the fear behind those walls
Of those who faced a fate within this burning pyre
Stuck in the lofty heights of concrete block
Where dwelling upon dwelling saves space
And claustrophobia abounds

Charred shrine upon the sky-line gray
Sad recall for those who remain
There but for providence go….
The night that Glenfell
