Illusion in the Sun

I can feel your warmth spreading out over me and the flickering rays from the sun stretching across the universe touching the inner core of its beauty and the morning smiling at me with dignity and love is flaming in your eyes. 

 I wasn’t sure which line to touch, both were crossing the upper crust, the magnetic field was so strong and the bubble that is bottled up within could last for a century,  but I watched my emotion glides over the sea as I stretched out my heart to receive thee. It is that genuine smile that lights up the sky and bring us together in one place for the first time. 

 The anchor of the soul was not enough to contain the longing heart and so that gentle touch broke down the external barriers and at last wisdom could enter. 

Oh passion of the sea, how much my heart yearns for thee, oh vision of the sky come and embrace me before my passion dies. 

I can see the world standing in front of me with a giant ball bouncing at the four corners of the earth and no one wants to confront it before it explodes underneath the earth. My emotion is intact and dignity is walking up and down the track but the giant ball is about to explode if you don’t retrace and modify the code.   

I have waited for hours for you to come and there was no sign of you waiting on the tarmac and time creeps slowly away forcing me to build my hopes for another day. 

I lay amused in my own folly and wait patiently for the day to break, week’s transition into months and months into year leaving me stranded and bear and the message finally came telling me that the ship was attacked at sea opening more wound in sorrows but what do I have to offer to ease the burden for the trouble they encountered at sea? You have got to fight in your dignity to calm the troubled sea. 

The morning is burning with the sun and the cares of live is shaking in paradise waiting on that horrific  human sacrifice; many will not see the day of light again, the earth will crack and lava will run from underneath the rock and those in the Middle East will  melt in temperature over four hundred degree.  

You must gauge the illusion in the sun and place the giant ball in the sea to cool the temperature down; the illusion in the sun is real and the asteroid in space is drawing close to  the earth

Premium Member Land Ahoy

Land ahoy there, ahoy, and a whoop-de-do
  By Jove, I've discovered a new planet or two
That passing asteroid shower really empowered
  My imagination, more vivid by the hour...

They call me 'old-timer,' 'cos I wear a bow-tie
  Smoke a pipe in plush slippers, eat sauerkraut on rye
But I'll show my flight crew a trick, one-three-four
  Ha, ha: Now they're locked out of the space capsule's door

So down I go on my own to Planets X, Y and Z
  I'll be busy with measurements as a buzzing bee
While they're stuck in the rocket, no doubt fuming mad
  At all the recognition that's mine that they wish that they had

Ah yes, Mr. President, Sir. I know what I've found will cause a grand stir
  But please give a nod to those lads in the rocket
And greet them back on Earth, if they can figure out how to dock it

Who

Who wants to be the last mammal on the earth 
the last un-guineade pig still capable of giving birth 
who wants to be the last bug to survive and breathe 
the ultimate being who still feels enough to grieve 

Who wants to join the solitary jail of don't do it 
be the only human who does not contain alien fluid
who is fearless enough and sure enough to know 
if the world will end , of if the world will grow 

Who braves it these days who loses their nerve  
Scientists, Mystics, which will flatten the curve 
Them with their needles, and us with our Faith 
will we explode like red jam, or open the Gate

Who gives a dam and who doesn't give a care 
do we hold our breath or do we take in air 
who will be humanoid, and who will be toyed  
was it an asteroid, that we could not avoid ? 

Who wants to be the last mammal , WHO? 
Who wants to live forever,  WHO ?

There's a virus going around
And people getting sick
Some are even dying 
From a germ, that they can't kick

There's an asteroid, it's flying
on it's undetected path
Aiming for the earth
To just unleash its wrath


chorus
There's a million things they tell you,
design to cause you fear
So, just relax and have another beer


There are terrorist, they say, came home to roost  
Others over seas are busy buying Nukes
The end of the world, could be happening today
If it isn't now, it's likely on it's way

chorus 
There's a million things they tell you,
design to cause you fear 
So, just relax and have another beer

                A DEDICATION TO THE QUEEN OF SOUL: Aretha Franklin 
                           (March 25, 1942– August 16, 2018)  
                  At New Bethel Baptist Church in Detroit, Michigan 

                      " "


The Seat of the Magi

With the right of messianism,
And the depth of free will, 
They journeyed to Bethlehem, 
To hear the parents spill. 

Zoroastrians true and ready, 
Ripe for the monologue bold, 
They offered gold and incense,
And on Mary’s story they were sold. 

Called wise men, magicians, 
They could interpret the land, 
Jailing’s, fishing booms and births, 
And so told people about their hand. 

They knew the power of the stars,  
The connection, their meaning, 
So followed one to that lively abode, 
Where Jesus lay with apparent feeling. 

God did not appear to them,
By a star in vocality, 
But they just gave cerebral relevance, 
To that asteroid motioning entity. 

The gifts they offered and gave, 
Did not signify the incarnation, 
But were considered gestures, 
Of the magi’s visitation. 

Their religion let them speak about, 
The predicted life of the babe; 
Prediction was their position and seat, 
As at semiology they were abe. 

Christianity did not come from Judaism, 
Zoroastrianism was its predecessor, 
As its followers searched for a messiah, 
Every day, with such earnest vigour. 

Christianity centres around a messiah, 
A cultural saviour from social retardation, 
Which Jesus was back them, 
In a world of poor folks’ isolation. 

Jesus was a Jew, a temple boy, 
But proclaimed his own religion, 
To follow him and not just the Torah, 
Which was in no way old and gone. 

The impact of these Zoroastrians,
On Israeli life and society, 
Can only be understood,
As Christianity’s modernity.

Premium Member The Deep Mystery

THE DEEP MYSTERY

The biggest animal species on earth was ever been,
the dinosaurs roamed proud the land of the Jurassic.
In fierce fights they were the ones to always win,
everything surrounding them seemed so very weak.

When they tromped sloth on massive legs of pillar,
pounded the unstable landforms getting torn apart,
enacting for all the meek animals around a thriller.
The ground shook, in fear they scrambled to dart

Some 65 million years ago dinosaurs disappeared
in an abrupt extinction event in the earth’s history.
If an asteroid strike or volcanic eruption engineered
the fatal catastrophe, is still buried in deep mystery.

Their fragile fossils in rock strata will show the way
to the scientist Holmes to solve the enigma someday.

Premium Member The Universe Within

I am calling it free verse because I did not try to follow a poetic form to write it. 

Yellow glow illuminates the horizon
Silhouetting all the skeletal trees
Revealing in the valley below
White frost coating all the leaves

A pale glow brings this day to life
Then brushstrokes of red appear
The Master Artist through His omniscience knew  
This beauty my spirit would cheer

The colors reminded me of yesterday
When a yellow bird high up in the tree stood
Mixed within a flock of sparrows
He was there for my spirit's good

I can compare him to the rising sun
High in the poplar tree
Yet, he was so small in comparison
Not much more than a tiny bee  

Yellow bird landed upon the ground
The whole flock joined as they fed
Maybe he was a pine warbler
Or perhaps a tiny goldfinch instead

When they saw my Ratcha*
They all took to the sky and fled
Yellow bird high in the poplar tree
Yellow bird sitting alone like me

Glad that you could fly away
Please come again another day
Come and visit to drive away
Lonely feelings each day

Yellow bird come to visit me
Soothing my universe within
Slow down the comet whizzing
Slow down the asteroid hitting

Thank you yellow bird
Thank you once again

Ability

He,
Lives too far to drive to.
Lives in outer space. 
Isn’t ashamed. 

I could be more ashamed. 
But earth is bad enough. 
I want to drive to outer space. 
The depth of space is nice. 

I have enough to do here on earth. 
Everything here has depth. 
But a deep, howling depth. 
Outer space is just dark and filled with holes. 

For no reason. 
He is not disabled. 
He lives so far, it’s as if he moved just because he could. 
Away. 

I-
Live on earth. 
I hate driving into town.
I promise, I don’t need anything. 

Being ashamed is some harmless thing. 
Like wormholes and science fiction. 
There’s nothing, 
To do. 

I am ashamed. 
I would live on an asteroid if it was possible. 
It has nothing to do with my old friend. 
Who isn’t disabled. 

He has the ability to go to space. 
He has the ability to survive in the vacuum. 
He has the ability to leave someone like me. 
I guess anyone could. 

He went to college for four years. 
I guess that’s how we’re different. 
He isn’t disabled either. 
Or ashamed.
