Attention All

An unimaginable apocalypse,
Will render this planet eclipsed..
It'll not take much time for this
As we aren't taking much to destroy it!

Every action has an equal,opposite reaction
It's proven law by great physicist, Sir Isaac Newton;
So we can't get aloof from this functional logic
Destruction at both ends 'll make the loop complete
Spree to destroy at both ends has grown in it's severity
Green lands deserted, islands submerged
Species vanished, genetic diversity eroded and
Melting ice caps have triggered severe floods...

This game of cause and effect is creating great havoc..
Chimneys are spewing venomous gases
Oil drillers boring treacherously deep...
We have rolled out behemoth machines...
Not left a chance to explore,exploit!
Virgin forests are left with scars of our boots all over!

Burgeoning demands but scarce are the resources...
But our platter of priority has science,politics and progress
Air, soil and water are losing their quality
But that's not our concern at all...
In using these vitals of life ,we 're so reckless
Shouldn't we realise its time to brainstorm ???
And to evolve a model to mitigate the ills and reform

We 've no right to deny the future generation, 
their vital needs to survive
Every man Being the stakeholder,
has to bear the blame and take burden to resolve...
Best is to bridge a course of harmony n' stop nature's slingshot of vengeance 
Judicious planning n' avoiding ruthless brutality on nature, 
will handover a safe and lively planet to humanity and all!

How little we know
How much we believe

truth ever changing in our mind
as new information arrives...and yet
minds can turn away from truths
emotion's hands are easy to follow
and sow doubt to cloud truths

we cling to our comfortable worlds of human folly
not understanding reality is always changing
life is always growing older
death is inevitable and brains are used more often to destroy
then create and build a flourishing environment

where does it leave us as we pass through life
oblivious to most things in creation
knowing only struggles in our own worldview
forgetting...we are only here once
as we waste precious time arguing over trivial matters
clinging on to strings wrapped around us
by our own small groups finding comfort from fear
in an unknown universe that gives life and takes life
without concern
where belief is more important than knowledge
easier to develop stories of eternal life
surrounded by winged creatures
than to stare into an abyss of reality

Genesis of Thoughts

Narrow and shallow shining laser focus 
     into chasm while teetering on brink
akin to scurrying thru microcosmic burrow 
     of microscopic Manhattan skyscrapers 
     wink'n nod and blink,

this ace of spades heart (diamond 
     in the rough) poet digs club billy shallow 
     sometimes forced to spelunk 
     thru crawl space chink
     
hunting down gamesome dodging 
     catlike whim elusively outpaced,
yet webbed, whorled wide net 
     nonetheless doth cap cha alive 
     agile adept idealized rat fink,

which unseen quite quiet mouse notion 
     gives hardy fellow run for his money, 
     within scrunched brow mental chase
possibly connected to a preceding pondering 
or appearing randomly 
     viz, non-sequitur conscious kink

     said quarry i.e. whimsical thoughts   
frequently vanish without a trace
     quick as mental cogs and wheels 
     generate snapchatting, riveting, twittering link

process allowing, enabling, and providing 
     albeit easily distracting ability 
     to grasp awesome zinging, lightening, 
     fleeting brainstorm within windswept
     mind space *****sapiens to think
    
shimmering insight cognizant ability 
     likening ode on Grecian urn vase
frieze depicting elusive capture 
     thought process lifespan shorter than a wink

via third eye blind of 
     comfortably numb beatle browed face
to locate source giving rise 
    king inducing minor frustration at inability 
     to nab (albeit painlessly) shimmering zinc

like inception, deception, taking wing
within fifty plus shades swing
and conception of consciousness stir ring
nanobyte size quisling

gray matter housing chromosomal ping 
pong pin balling genes summons King
kong of Leon intrigue, jing
gull ling, where disparate 

     ideas linkedin fling
pollinated neurological network ebbing
and flowing, sans during
writerly blitzkrieg thread ding 
provocative point of pinterest bing

proclimation emancipation pensive predilection
to contrive a means and ways 
to corral mischievous mental minions
who seem to vanish without a trace  

holographic after effect or image evoked
from virtual reality, the latest modality 
to pair dime a dozen stray cats re:
untamed cerebral creatures tempting 
contemplation to occupy hours.

Premium Member Out On a Limb

Hitch-hiking on the road of yellow bricks
I took a chance upon a passing whim
It ferried me where thins grow out from thickes
Turns out, I found myself out on a limb

Imagine, on a limb and at my age
How could I get my feet back on the ground
My first instinct was fly into a rage
A brainstorm came, then all my anger drowned

Yet this was not my first time on a limb
Fact is, I've shinnied down more than a few
These days, instead of taking it so grim
I've learned to sit and just enjoy the view 

If you're caught on a limb by some mistake
The bright side is, the damned thing didn't break

Premium Member Mystical Lore of the Twilight Hawk

Aloft, with keen eyes in sorbet skies’ raspberry half-light
visceral vibrations of vitality does await.
Soaring in a hush, with plumage plush, a silent stealth kite,
he glissades on ghostly winds with mystical wings of fate.

Poised to plummet from his summit of purple sundown spread
with wingspan wide, wreathed gradual glide, hunts a twilight hawk.
Floating form causes flocks to brainstorm on life or death dread,
those flying forlorn, late to roost, are reduced by his stalk.

Aerodynamic, his dramatic dive deals destiny,
raptor raptly pursues passerine through air’s plum-bruised dim.
Whispering wings whisk to live and not die desperately,
over the arborvitaes the future for one is grim.

If it’s true that energy never dies; its cries transform,
then songbird's notes will ascend on hunter's wings in reform.

Premium Member There's No Drawback

My love, we've been hitched for forty years now,
Such as auld lumber that is best to burn,
What other rapture might my heart allow? 
What could be too deified than this churn?

Let's fashion a taste banter and brainstorm,
In poem, praise exulting love and joy,
Respect the strength of the bond in key form,
With pleasure, we'll seal the deal with the ploy. 

If I were a known poet or writer,
I wish to consider swans and heaven,
My mind is no more a spark or lighter,
We lack the grace to speak with smooth leaven. 

Although my love, who needs motivation? 
You were put in plight by love elation.

It's Time To Meet the Neighbors

Electricity’s out, how do I choose
the first task after a storm to amuse?
Might I discover new sources in me?
To start, I'll replace my personal fuse.

Next, a novel concept, I'll take a walk,
find out what's making my neighbors all squawk.
Old Mr. Harris is banging loudly,
No telly to watch, we'll have time to talk.

Helping shaky hands free his cellar door,
I've often muttered about his fine store.
There's a lot more to living than whiskey,
by list'ning, perhaps I'll help him much more.

We see three children playing in puddles;
We come in sight, they shrink in a huddle. 
Capital thought, share some food with these three;
at my offer their mom nods, befuddled. 

They help me rake up fallen limbs and leaves.
After building a fire, we go to my freeze
for the fine food that kids find delicious
I bring out hot dogs; we roast them with ease.

Harris brings over some slightly warm pop.
Neighbors notice, bringing more snacks, they stop.
What a brainstorm discovering neighbors
when electric power does a flip-flop.

Hi

Hi.
One word
Two letters
And a universal introduction, 
Hi,
Who knew such a simple word
In the world’s dictionary
Could be so,
Hard 
To actually
Speak out loud,
Hi
Hola 
Bonjour
Konnichiwa 
Ni hao
I could probably
List 
20 different ways
To say hi,
It doesn’t matter 
What language the word is in
Because, it is still the worlds
Most simple collection of letters
But, 
At the same time
So fricken hard to say,
I want to be able to 
Say hi
But, 
What happens after that
Stick with me here, ok
I walk up to someone I don't know,
I say hi
Maybe I’ll even smile
I’m really trying here, ok
They look up at me
Confused
Because 
I’m a stranger
Saying hi,
They smile
And say hi back
But, instead of just saying
Hi
They are saying 
Hi?
Which are two completely different
Words,
One is inviting
The other is saying who the hell are you
And what do you want,
Now what,
What am I supposed to say after that
How’s the weather?
I like your…
Socks
I don't know,
So as much as I want to say 
That simple word
I can’t, because
What do I do after,
How do I make a connection
With someone that 
Seems cool
I don’t know
I don't know, anything.
All I know is how to say
Hi 
Hola 
Bonjour
Konnichiwa
Ni hao 
So as simple as that word may be,
It is the most complicated 
Word 
To me

Premium Member Excessive Compulsion

And her voice is the tingle of upbeat blues, 
the winsome rap amid my heavy footsteps, past 2 am...
She holds my hand as I’d never wake up 
after twilight, drinking to the end of a broken bottle, 

How those arms cuddle me like my hair  
isn't filthy , avoiding normal  showers that
I can’t put this body to rest, to rest;
howling about a compulsive urge needling within a mind
which impairs an otherwise peaceful life with her :

Disappearing into bars and gaming clubs ,
and more bars to silence my fears
so I can’t hear the  jeers of ghosts on the 
walls, within each pulse-beat, through her embrace
… through it all,
She smiles  calmly ignoring the stench of alcohol
in -  out  breaths, regardless of my absence
from quality time I am unable to keep.

… Still,
I can’t honor myself the same way that
she does... as though I never yelled, argued, 
or told her to go lose herself beneath cold moonlight,
while kicking the door without atonement--

She loves me unequivocably as if I can find the gentleness
of one day     when I can CHANGE.

Compulsive-obsessive behavior is a mental dysfunction including explosive anger , desire for alcohol, gambling, others. The onset of impulsivity can be thought of as seeking a small, short -term gain at the expense of a large, long term loss.

Brilliant, Grandiloquent Magnificent Trenchant

Brilliant, grandiloquent, magnificent, trenchant...

Writing prompts burst asunder
deafening soundcloud roared
with apocalyptic thunder
'course only audible to yours truly,
I did dumbfoundedly wonder...

At o'clock tick tocking wee hours brisk
December seventeenth
two thousand nineteen
simultaneous blinding fiery kindling
quickening xing risk
within winkin blinkin and nod,
I feared full light of day brainstorm
snatched away courtesy invisible whisk

broom all those potential
ideas sprung while
Messiah by George Frideric
Handel's never out of style
within cerebral nooks and
crannies (think Ohiopyle),
whereby Youghiogheny River
bubbles, gurgles, fuels river mile

after mile harnesses and doth generate
approximately twelve Megawatts
of electricity per hour, to alleviate
domestic counting eight
thousand homes necessitate
distributed across western
and central Pennsylvania.

Analogous catching
courtesy goo goo dolls barenaked
ladies hands spawning
salmon slippery as an eel
(if curious don't take my word,

which might not appeal)
though yours truly
offers no guarantee,
you could easily fall

overboard as ye kneel,
which subsequently offers
live human meal
to hungry sharks, impossible mission

to escape no matter
how loud you squeal,
bouquets delphiniums and daisies
designate watery grave site
dissolving blood amidst the color teal.

Aforementioned depiction, whereby current
commander in chief
admittedly no gent
till man nor scholar, and
he cavalierly lent
and nearly fin hushed nearly
(possibly already) rent
asunder high crimes and
misdemeanors, he casually spent

constitutional principles of democracy,
whereby I experience torment
precipitating quasi riptides undercurrent
bigotry, demagoguery, "fakery,"...
misogyny, vanity vetted vice
whereby woebegone grievances
Pandora's box loosed
helter skelter they went.

Anyway... synonymous maintaining
readership attention blinker
necessary to apply unsuspecting
hook, line and sinker
without rousing ire principal

(at Henry Kline elementary
my dear watson Mister Rinker)
long since retired,
he possibly maybe grandfather
of one or more freethinker.
