Premium Member The Pride of Santa Monica, California

Robert Cabot Sherman, Jr. was an All-American boy.
To his parents, Robert Cabot Sr. and Juanita, he was their great joy.
Gifted with acting skills and a great voice, his career went far.
In no time at all, California's native son became a star.
On television in "Here Come the Brides", he played "Jeremy"
This role cemented his tremendous popularity.

His first recording of "Little Woman" soared up the charts.
Bobby won uncountable teenage girls' hearts.
His burgeoning popularity was totally unquestionable.
Other hits that followed made him a big teen idol.
With all the attention he was getting, there was some strife.
Bobby decided to back away to a quieter life.
Yes, Bobby certainly accomplished much in his day.
At the age of eighty-one, he silently passed away.

Bobby Sherman
(1943-2025)

As long term aspiring
     gurgling (stream of consciousness)
     paperback writer, there doth appear
an imponderable quandary

     most likely experienced
     by fellow neophyte authors,
     one pesky bugbear
that just dawned, (within the mind

     of this former tony
     MainLiner) crystal clear,
i would bet mine
     bottom dollar and declare

unequivocally established writers
     mentally tussled (or still do),
     how to accrue “Art of the book writing deal” 
     contract subsequently endear

an increasing number of people,
     that definitely feel drawn
     to thy unique flavonoid flair
with words this scrivener displays,

     where oft times decrypting
     (mine block chain) dost jam
     at least one cerebral cog and gear
no matter how far away from me,

     this mind can telepathically hear,
colorful epithets, thus
     seriously considering donning,
     summoning, and trumpeting

     his swiftly tailored,
     harried styled interlinear
difficult to interpret ma Bella cos
     mean mien, thus ready

     (lock, stock and barrel)
     to ship me on a one way junketeer
attired in a combination
     all force he zen,

     (and Caesar) knitwear
and (thrift special red tag sale) leisurewear
oh...preferably gender neutral,

or specifically frilly pink menswear
which could be either
     day or nightwear

yet absolutely non gaudily
     outlandish most unlike
thine convoluted other worldly
     unfairly punishing stentorian

     verb hose noun sense sic cull
     idiomatic ling goo whist tricks
     driven by a harsh grammatical taskmaster,
     (nonetheless one

     gentle non-slavish overseer)
summoning positive
     feedback to reap peer
burgeoning my popularity,

     yet without being *****
yule us, yes...of course retaining rear
penchant inventively steer
ring an unsuspecting reeder

agonizingly testing their
pay shunts, perhaps inducing her/him
to race out the door like a a mad person
     clad with (impeach 45) underwear

calling for men/women in white coats
     to lock up Matthew Scott Harris
     possibly commuting his
     long runonsentence tea
     ching fellow inmates without ten year!

Premium Member twenty volcanoes are erupting on earth right now

and why not
let them;
my son is asleep in the car
the radio plays
the skies are grey 
the windows are nearly shut
a delicate breeze converges with 
our transcendence
we are being transported
as he possibly dreams about
another football league he wants to invent
or, as he mentioned before hopping in the car
he wanted to leave the tennis early
to write his own song at home
he wants to relate, impart and begin his goodbyes
as the gale invading the vehicle is like the
tempest of ideas burgeoning his mind
i pull up to traffic lights and 
i wonder if such joy exists in 
the other cars 
around us

Onyx Harmonics

Once a gambler, always... 
... so the sceptics say... 
My retort is life's a gamble
We take risks every day

I reside in a house palatial 
Can justify purchases wasteful
Wise bets are luxuries paid for 
Extravagant lifestyle enabled

Jewellery gathers, burgeoning 
From overstuffed box, emerging
Avoid crowding, time to pawn 
My value continually surging! 

String of onyx required no thought
Ripped quickly, no longer sought
Capitalist bent continually urging
For exchange, gems duly brought

To seedy grimy store, 'We Sell All' 
Flat rejection brought my apall
Not impressed by onyx glib faces
Declared necklace worth bugger all 

In its absence necklace graces
Dazzling array, high value embraces
Dull rock considered inconsequential 
Celestial head breeds striking phrases

Premium Member The Instincts of Innocence

Take my hand Love,
to where the stars hide
above the upper blue of hot day,
burning on the fingertips of Eternity's forbidden skin
waiting within the thin melody of ivory savagery
for us to escape the boundaries of silent imagination, 
we must go to where they struggle for our blessing
we must see the symbol that we survive for high in their souls
listen to the age of their light, taste the wisdom of their words,
I need you to come with me to the birthplace of my love for you
I need you to feel the movement of our young future in your honest ear,
let them witness the love catalyst,  launch between our heart bound eyes
and in the finesse of our body fire they will know the faith and furor of stellar success
as comet accents furnish the secrets of ancient suns with crystal hymns
reflecting the atomic romance burgeoning blissfully in the volcanic skies of our combined minds -

Premium Member Hourglass Sand

HOURGLASS SAND

She sits alone by the candlelight, pen in hand.
Wax drips from her fingertips, like hourglass sand.

wind whispers
in
dark clouds

Mascara runs, blotting sad memory thoughts.
Turns to rage, with burgeoning crimson clots.

lava erupts
running
down mountaintop 

She remembers the depth of happiness as his wife,
like a mouthwatering stew, flavored with long life.

a ladle
mixes
savory gravy

Her lovely lithesome lines, like calligraphy, graces
the dawning of vellum day, whilst her heart races.

invitations
ring
silver bells

Her lashes, her brows, her lips move with her wrist.
Then anguish, transcends good thoughts, clenching her fist.

expressions
of a
worn face

She sits back quietly, taking a moment to recollect the early days
before his sudden illness, before the medical maze.

turquoise water
of
the Caribbean 

When his hands rubbed her shoulders, as she wrote.
As they enjoyed adventure, in their romantic sailboat.

forever
and
ever ago

She sits alone, as shadows meander upon the wall,
attempting to tap the best of them, before death’s call.

Destiny's Hand

Across chasms of time 
our eyes may meet 
love long unavailed 
will pull at restraint 

tomorrow must come 
and an adamantium sky 
ripples the aurora borealis 
above my meager crown 

My admiration lies in hidden smiles  
as this burgeoning lust rolls all eyes 
secreting the ties that bound us 
I deny its velocity and validity 

As Judas denied christ thrice 
I deny us and what we once held 
hanging trees of knowledge bloom 
the truth is undressed and undenied 

Along the Rose line in all my dreams 
A shrill coming together killed us 
draped in silenced peace I prayed
knowing love burns ever brighter still 

But in these awkward realms of glass
where destiny plays with solid rock 
and deja vu awakes my middle eye 
the blink of a universe trickles tears  

Gently twinkling stars remind me 
on the tip of my tongue a word 
falters to only lay dead in my throat 
to know love I must speak in tongues 

Knowing this I kiss goodbye the earth
letting destiny take hold of my hand

Premium Member Shhhhhhh

Whispers cloud the judgment of weakened minds
wreaking havoc with the fragile balance of id and ego
humbling the sprout in its new greenery.
 
The winds are made of whispers, fear is their home
and each human husk shivers at the sound of them.
The unknown comes in the whispers of dawn, 
the burgeoning of night, the bloody bath of birth
and the shriveled skin of the corpses we become.

Whispers cloud the rage of temporal reality
beckoning with their softness, tonguing the ear,
licking the neck too soon stretched on mortalities noose.

Spring Sensations

Rubbing it's eyes, the year wakes in yawn.
Hibernating winter shade.....at last it's gone.
'Hello, my dear Spring', "Good Morning".. c'mon.
Advent of the vignette....embraces the dawn.

Look!..A child has just learned to walk..
His fortune.... new life....is excited to knock.
March and April date...dance and roll and rock.
Woodpeckers make home.....patient round the clock.

Clothes of Primrose, Lilies .....Daffodils and Tulips.
Petals unfold blushing buds....hiding in eclipse.
Burgeoning vibes of love.... nature in partnerships..
Orange Yellow Honey.....in Green and Purple drips.

In vernal color of wild music, ....nature is a gypsy.
The hymns of hummingbirds.... cuckoo chirps.... crispy.
Cadence of bass and treble ....the breeze ..soft and tipsy.
Oh Sensuous Spring ! ......"I Love Thee"... 
               Won't you now kiss me?
