light hearted anecdote 
ye may find far fetched.

Tozzath
Pellucid pachyderms wade across
the purpling River Manjees
and Tozzath watches from the bank, 
the seat of his maroon pantaloons soaked with mud,
his nostrils flaring with the fragrance of ombadalias,
whose lacey petals flutter
like the wings of long-dead...

Odyssey From Africa 7b
CHAPTER 7b (Ipiki, continued)

Which had shared their lofty tree-nest
Now the bats abruptly vanished
But for one unlucky creature 
Which the hunting snake now swallowed 
 
And, its scaly torso flexing
Disappeared into the foliage 
Which regained its...

To flowers once said dour thorns
I

For long faulted as wicked causing pain,
And condemned as crooks of a cruel kind—
Old prejudice or heartless brain’s refrain, 
Repeated ad nauseam a point to grind—
An error all the same of humankind,
Yet, thorns for sure,...

Mundanity Doth Not Mean Unfulfilling
Though predictability prevails
     pertaining to my life,
     nonetheless a pronounceable zeal
bestirred from writing,
     and reading (no surprise),
     which literary...

Mountain Lake
Snow-capped mountains fell to the floor,
Reflecting blurred images so much more.
The mountain lake absorbed the sight;
Random birds passed by in their flight.
The lake lay there oh so soft and sultry;
Nature’s maidens beckon from a belfry.
A...

Premium Member Letter From a Classic Archetypal Dope, January 4, 1960 - Part Two
Part Two

From that moment onwards
Not when the fingerless muscles unclasped
    the indented bones
But from that moment of knowing
   from that very moment of sustenance
That day of human unbelief died unsung
And...

Death When Challenged Life
I 

And Death once told an oft defeated life: 
Look, life’s no life if lived on a knife’s edge, 
In struggle for survival soaked in strife, 
Alive with life, look at me— a red rage....

Personally Speaking, Singing
Singing is Bi-polar.
Some songs sound like an aching molar
Packed with violence, hate and anger.
Other songs are sung to win him or her.
Soft sweet words that cause love to whir.
Passion packed with minds a blur,
Bi-polar songs...

The Soul of Words
In black and white, I adore framing my inner thoughts, my worries, my wants and hopes… Words! a world of abiding renewal… a space of a bountiful solitude… a state of illusive freedom… a journey...

Not By Worldly Ways Weighed
Dunk in dyes, tainted, nor tinted,
In world, not by its ways weathered;

Come, put a patch of love ‘pon me
That we get not ever severed;
 
Death, only your shelter is such, 
Op-eyed can one sleep undeterred;

---------------------------------------------

Just breathe...

Breathe..! Gasping, into light you're thrown!
Like glass, your turning leaf is blown
clear of sweet slumber's song but there's
no need of hers - you'll sing your own.

You, newly born of mother's prayers,
will breathe your first...

Thunder Rolled Across the Sky
Thunder rolled across the sky
Like some great beast about to die,
Or the ancient god, now bestirred
By ancient thoughts and present words.

Fall arrived in her attire
Of earth, water, wind and fire.
But mostly fire, which spoke 
Of...

Leave It To the Soupers
Treasured features soaring like a blackbird.
Conjured imagery, imaginations endlessly fostered.
Rationale stretched beyond limits, enraptured
But leave it to “Soupers” to reorder lines savored.

Structured ideas freely flowing flavored.
Logical sentences with meanings anchored.
The beginning and end shows its...

Now You See It
What, then, is a spirit?
Whence the wafting wisp?
And is a thing ethereal really real?

How concrete the conscious?
Does sentience have substance?
Tell me, really, truly, what’s the deal?

“Long ago, immortal ages past,
Eons yet lay heavy on his...

Beach Bonanza
Beaming sun upon my back
Establish my summer days
A beach, my boys, a blanket, and
Cold drinks, as I soak my rays
Hoping to darken my tan

Bronzing as the babies play
Lotioned head-to-toes
Applied Aveeno Baby, even to their nose
No...

Be a Carefree Bird
Live life as it goes—
Of a free-willed carefree bird,
Of a sprightly spring,

Sighs nor e’er sorrows,
Nor yet laments in life heard,
A lifetime to sing!

Life goes-- highs with lows,
I've seen no bird e'er bestirred
From its now to...

A Nightmare
The looming gray clouds overhead
Relieved themselves on top my head.
I saw not a soul, nothing stirring
Nor where I stood no living thing.
What in hell happened? I wondered
Not a single sound or word
The city was seemingly...
