Abundance

An abundance of passionate thoughts cloud my mind
Visioning my hands all over you, tonguing every crevice
Casting spells of love potion number nine

Your face is my poster board for perfection
So creative and refined
Am I high?
Falling over drunk, or plain stupefied

Administer a dose of Absinthe
Through your eyes I can see you want more
Accelerating with the power of a Basilisk
Filling your dreams on a realistic level.. 
No dreams
Pushing you to your core

I'll give you what you want
Opportunities galore
Wiggling uncontrollably
Your beautiful body sprawled 
On my living room floor

This uncontrollable feeling I have is that of fate
If you're not the one, then you must be a prototype
It's hard to keep up with all your hype
Come with me darling
Of my passion you shall partake

Your love is never enough
Pour it over me like a faucet on on high
With our love so abundantly clear
Both you and I know there is nothing to fear..

Lusus Naturae

The dark lake only buoys its own natatory denizens,
it allows some to swim, some to glide, dip or delve,
but those sombre waters pull down children
seeing them only as the cloud spawn of alien shores.

The waters are one unnatural creature, a sucking swirl;
a single stomach, that throttles, snags, and crushes,
it clogs the mind with the coiling swirls
of convulsive ghosts.

I am drowning, I fall upwards into a darkness
that contains no earth or sky.
The lake is a basilisk, it snakes into wide open eyes,
darkens the blood of small boys until they choke,
strangling on their own fear.

Decades later I awake, expelled once more
from the churn of its malignant maw,
still struggling inside a heartless embrace.

That cold lake remains within me to this day
It is a liquiform parasite that squirms in my dreams;
a submerged memory of my death - in waiting.

Caim 
in time
labyrinthine
tale swallowed
serpentine 

Caim 
in time
heart kept 
secure in the 
central fortress mine

Serpentine
swallowed
labyrinthine tales
cooed her love Basilisk
night terrors and turtledoves

Turtledoves
followed trails 
of diamonds dripping
through hazy windows emerald
reflecting you

precious pearls 
slipping wisdom o’er
rusty halos for a golden crown
we all fall down 
after rain comes sunshine

Caim 
You 
in time 
to find my love
labyrinthine

little fugue 
in G minor
Caim 
You 
in time

"The circle is open, 
but never broken. 
The love of Light 
is forever in my heart.

I thank you Light 
for lending 
your energy tonight.
I call the Guardian 
of the element of Light
to watch over this sacred circle.

Merry meet, 
and merry part, 
and merry meet again."

Fugue in G Minor
Why is it called Little Fugue in G minor?
Bach's Fugue in G Minor for organ (BWV 578) is known as the "Little" G minor not because it is a work of small importance or even because it is an unusually short work in its own right, but simply so that it and the much longer and later "Great" G minor Fantasia and Fugue (BWV 542) might not be mistaken for one another ...

Premium Member The Sorting Hat Knew Me Well

The sorting hat knew me well.
I had a pet Basilisk and knew where they all dwell.
I speak parcel tongue, but I do not like Malfoy
I am waiting, barely breathing.

The sorting hat is making all kinds of noise, like a raid 
Spitting and snorting, I close my eyes, afraid of the result
You hate Malfoy? He screams, outing me in front of the hall.
Hufflepuff? Are you kidding? That was truly a stupid call.

Come back here! The sorting hat demanded, angry now.
I ran for my life, not eager to go back to that cow.
He chases through the hall while the rest of them cheer.
I go home to mama; maybe I will come back next year.

Home, even though a cozy cove sits secretly offshore,
it takes a hope and a skip away from my lone abode.
Terms with simple truths, they supply the groove.
They mount the horse and leave the sunset guessing, too.
Last light was leaving, hemisphere on spinning axis.
That's when a mammoth's head huge comes out the hallway;
its head is perfectly in frame, flush with the height and
length of the walkway.
Its wool invisible, completely see it through, besides that
fact still it was vivid, contained both depth and shading
make me see it too. 

A mad hallucination, the proportion was intimidating,
forgetting it's made by my own mind, but still don't
know, don't fully comprehend what that all really meant.
Not really looking, only waiting—
waiting for the predictable.
It was known that I knew that I'd be so foolish too;
I pulled the wool up and over
the fabric of space and time, so when it all aligned, I'd
make sure I'd get me mine.
The mammoth then goes an opens up, from it's 
opened mouth, soon as there was space, two snakes 
sprung out and made escape without hesitation and with
a purpose that I for certain felt.
They were small, both in size and age two—
twin basilisk adolescents and commanding presence.
One occupied the kitchen, furthest to my left; 
Then the other one, It was to the right came up right to me.
Even sitting down already, quickly up I leapt.
Watched it creep and slide till it all faded from my sight.
I sat, dumbfounded, disbelieving daydreaming 
and this was truthfully my experience.
Everything was gone; it really was just me left beside I.


Premium Member Burden of the White Rose

never over your 
white-washed smile 

words watered 
with vibrant fragrance

fables  
which filled my ear 
linger clearly 
as if they were now
shortly spoken 

fateful flesh 
fallen into nettle 
&
burdensome briars 
that since settled 
at this whole heart

how had you found me 
was I a litter of scrabble tiles 
first, you spelled me
further, misspelled me 
later, dispelled me 
bad homme 
burying sunlight 
in bridal lace
& hollow vows 
which vassalized me 
chastised me
minimized me 

& unmasked you— 
solitary white
rose that bloomed 
between those teeth 
tumbled 
& withered swiftly 
in the wayward wind  

never over your 
basilisk-breath 
black velvet tongue 
 
threatening my life 
scrambling joints 
ruining sweat & tears 
as every pore runs 
red  
becoming a river of blood
-
a place I'd rather
not be

Premium Member Floating

The people of this world are like the three butterflies in front of a candle's flame.
The first one went closer and said:I know about love.
The second one touched the flame lightly with his wings and said:
I know how love's fire can burn.
The third one threw himself into the heart of the flame and was consumed.
The alone knows what true love is.
Rumi


I sit alone in a silent field of fairness,
under saffron rays kissing sunflower serenity,
among dawn's daisies and dusk's dandelions -
watching buds floating away with whisking winds.

Fate does not favour my quest to soar freely.
In a meadow of humanity's betraying breaths,
our buttercup souls become ambushed by a suffocation of sighs.
When there is no justice in spiteful judgement,
visions of Basilisk slither with a deadly gaze.
Envious eyes poisoned by potions of venom,
abuse the selfless mistress of my garden's muse -
but without Eve there would be no Adam nor Eden.

Weeping on the grave of her past self,
her fatigued spirit struggles to fight and rise.
I watch darkness ascend in springtime,
when her mind portrays a veil in the misery of mist.
I feel like a helpless flame burning in ivory wax.
Untreated wounds with time festering
into an ebony existence of self deprecation.

I can see butterfly hunters with their narcissistic nets,
chasing my imperfectly perfect empress of empathy.
Her heart hungers for a plethora of petals,
to hover from a ruby rose to lotuses of liberty,
but predatory birds like harlots and hussies,
have lured her into a withering winter colony of thorns.

Sorrow stitched her eyes closed with merlot thread,
as her sanity sits upon the edge of heaven and hell.
The Devil wears a hat with an emblem of her sins.
The bewitching conspiracy of his crimson eyes,
tempting to massacre the magnificence
of her invisible crystal wings of bronze and gold.

In a martyrdom of self-sacrifice,
love reminds her that kindness glows softly like fireflies,
as she tries to find light in a tunnel of lost thoughts.
The universe echoes her cosmic whispers of life,
as psychedelic ink shimmers like starlight in her veins,
pouring compassion into a selfish blank canvas of hearts.

Cherry blossoms tint the air pink
and she's looking at the world through their gaze,
but knows like everything,
their fragile beauty is only momentary.

Premium Member Crater Lake - Sleeping Beast

I round a bend in the trail ...

And gasp, literally ...
The scene before me takes my breath away
And I stop, transfixed by the sheer breadth of the panorama
The shimmering span of Crater Lake ...

Clear, crystalline ...
Pure as the tears of Heaven
Translucent fathoms of water, waiting ...
Glassy, tranquil, yet the depths shroud an inky secret

A brumal dragon, ages old, slumbers in the blackened abyss
Its fiery, flaming breath is calm, but its breast still slowly rises and falls
The wings of thunder that once battered the air to ruin
Are tucked close and quiet, but they tremble yet

The snorting nostrils that choked the sky, and earth-tearing claws
Are still and cold, but they shiver with an energy, relentless
The molten rock that is its lifeblood, ever flows deep in its bowels
Sleeping, dreaming, biding its time and virility

Above, nature attends to its own
The remnants of Mount Mazama paint the reach
Crimped in white and green, the edges of snow-dusted foliage
Creatures dance, unknowing, upon the beast's back

Life goes on-and-on, in all its guises
Struggle, tragedy, the feral judgements of existence and mortality
Predator and prey, birth and growth, changing seasons
The ceaseless spin of survival, continues on ...

This exquisite glade and the providence that surrounds me
Thrums with vitality, oblivious to the danger and heat stirring earthward
Bloating in the gut of the burning basilisk ... far, far below
Waiting for when the time is right ...

And it once again ... scorches the sky.

"Before a leaf-bud has burst, its whole life acts; in the full-blown flower there is no more, in the leafless root there is no less" - Ralph Waldo Emerson


I'm a sunflower, 
dipped in honey of 
bittersweet bronze smiles, 
admiring its soulmate 
strolling around the sun, 
in sombre shine of 
eclipsed dawn, whilst 
these faes lure poisoned 
pollens with flaming 
ruby red ocean foams, 
And I see a peculiar 
patchwork on knitted 
canopies, which are 
sprouting clayey hearts 
out of crimson crooned 
willow branches. 

Crumbling to pixies, 
falling lifeless like fragile 
leaflets in autumnal carols, 
I believe, twin flame 
telepathy is a souvenir 
of roses and thorns, 
which emerges as wanton 
wildfire on the brim of 
ocean's moon-song 
in mellifluous mystery, 
outlining turmoil in 
turquoise land of trolls. 
For, magnetised feathers 
on matte lips always get 
soaked in ashey sighs 
of regret, whenever 
bewitching conspiracy 
of his amethyst eyes, 
befalls in dialects of 
forest's echoes and the 
brittle skin of basilisk 
slithers with a deadly gaze 
upon my mulberry heart.

Chasing seasonal winds, 
I became the fading mist 
that succumbs to the 
sheath of amber rays, 
infusing in my lungs, 
and suffocating my love for life;
Amidst these broken skies, 
you left shadows of 
pencil-sketched debris, 
that float like wisps 
of faulty daffodils, 
distorting my dreams 
and twisting thy truths, 
in hellfire horizon that 
sets our graves apart, 
beyond million miles of 
satanic soliloquies.
