Premium Member Baby Steps Out

..............Baby Steps Out..
..........There's a waiting world
.......Doctors nurses eager staff
......A doting father, mother in pain
.....It is said that we chose our birth 
....An act of free will, desired destiny
....The paths are all charted by our will
....This birthday I decided to recall..loll
......A memory jog, back to time of birth
.........An unborn peeping into his future 
..............The little steps on roads ahead
.................Unfolding destiny milestones
.....................Cherished moments in wait
.....................Some vivid some smudged
.....................Hand drawn on masterprint
..................Paths to travel people to meet
................The resting places n thirst stops
...............Careful leaps on stepping stones
...........The journeys that were yet to unfold
.........All vivid in storehouse before take-off
.....In the sojourn I was told: Precious is birth
...In baby steps or our giant strides a purpose
.The joys or sufferings are like passing screens
There is an axis a polestar guiding & connecting 
A constant the unchanging in all that is changing
Distracted get our senses by colors cacophonies
.Not difficult to lose the picture in such a journey
...Precious is birth- holds many a promise....es ....
......like many seeds...finding ground.. ..yes !!
.........pods germinate ..stored... ..loved ..
...............friends near far ...unmet :)
......................thank you.....<3.....
.................................Fam ....frnds
.........................................................for remembering
.............................................................flowing wishes

Premium Member Drowning and Waving

When the ocean swells the boat of life shreds shoddy anchor line
I put to words from pen and keyboard what matters most in time
and seek a buoy a float some flotsam dejected towards the storm
then hope for tides for rudder oars and compass worn and torn

Cannot want not pretend the sails are healthy all is mighty fine
attempt to find refuge shelter calmer waters in poetry and rhyme
listen to the climate forecast watch the stars that seem forlorn
seek charts and words’ expression transposing dusk to dawn

The waves and swelling torrents thunder remain whatever spell
fills sadness metaphors lost rhythm alliterations sent from hell
The weather remains whether or not I scribe my melody and tune
cacophonies or lonely harmony despondence hewn and strewn

In sink or out of kilter self soothing or shouting angrily is what I got
some scribbles join some dots to pointed hooks not to loose the plot
Apocalypse may find its way or not when Armageddon calls seduction
yet poetry verse narrative or stories fend of that teasing deadly suction

The worldly whirlpool will not succumb or surface because I put on paper
destruction mindless soul depression timid aspirations hopes or vapour
when steam cannot be rescued the pit and bottom loom away from shore
But writing keeps me just above the water line and I cannot really ask for 

                                                                           MORE

Premium Member Poe In Perpetuity

deck is stacked with black cats
   hungry and forlorn
      pressing in

   bolts of thunder -
blinded with cacophonies

   the ace of spades -
fear, bad luck, hatred, war
worry lines, frowns, battle torn 

     coal, night, pitch -
the starry night, disoriented
         lost in oblivion 

newgate’s knocker -
prison bars, color drained
from countenance, no kiss
   in the abyss

midnight, a dog’s guts -
no clouds, moonless, open
   to the elements

the iron cast - seasoned
   to death

   ebonic plague -
a poet’s drowning in ink
              &
someone’s lighting a fire
      under 
the chimney sweep

Premium Member Evil Shadows Any Time and Everywhere

Trains run alight terminate on time like clockwork 
never ending endless procession of precision conductors
the conducted walk down the line warped tracks of 
cynically divided isles dead ends of ‘labour making free’ 

Evil strips uniformed confluence stripes and leather

Coated terrified collection production of space soap
horror lampshades shearing shorn haired tattoos the
undivided divide of power abomination horrid abnormal
‘normality’ represses guilt projected trans-re-and aggression

Evil does other in the guise of completed concentration

Concerted action blisters scorches screams cacophonies 
children on father’s lap blue eyed dancing and laughing
kisses of love adoration cuddly dolls miniature life’s train
sets model schema roles toys games memories distraction

Evil giggles corporates shapes what past and future holds

Mothers craft homes happy families embrace posterity apple 
pies devotion roast cinnamon cranberry turkeys tarts in ovens 
pious allegiance compassion progress contrast splitting off piano 
forte harmonious singing rejoicing at mantelpiece and altar

Evil mocks smouldering torches paradise’s apple deprivation

Juvenile followers of fashion compose indoctrinate compost
hail philosophy’s trampled ideology void of virtue meaning
distorted communion bread wine blind vision blind-sight vortex
trailing inscribing engraving present history timeless repetition

Evil tracks moribund humanity dignity degeneration and disgust

Unless we reflect examine investigate inside and around
us the smokescreens stacked ember ashes individual ‘Self’
universal pursuit of righteousness flames of denial denigrating
potential illuminate conscience honesty fallibilities blue prints 
for darkness and unless we act and fight stand up and even then

Ubiquitous evil at this very moment will cast its seeds and shadows
will unbalanced fires raise their ugly head and minds and shoulders gas 
and bullets terror grenades rockets mines warfare starving emaciation
lest we forget the prototypes the moulds automated conveyor belts evil
we can not abdicate responsibility for blatant murder of the human race

Auschwitz is everywhere and there is no hierarchy of evil

Premium Member Afternoon Woolgathering

On lazy uneventful afternoons
     I sometimes venture into the quiet haven
        that is my occupied mind as if a voice 
        in the wilderness beckoned me there. 
          It's always my favorite place to go...

         on a day in disarray to contemplate 
      and expunge impurities that swirl inside 
  my head. I would sit beneath a tree as I trap
           myself in the undertow of reverie, 
    submerging in the depth of serene solitude. 

      I go woolgathering on certain afternoons
       in the meadow of my mind, listening to
         the wondrous cacophonies of nature. 
        How delightful the mellifluous sounds 
      of chirping birds? The rustling of leaves? 

        Myriad of memories I long laid to bed 
 would spring awake as soon as I close my eyes 
     My thoughts would swing like a pendulum 
            between the past and the future. 
     It's amazing how much the mind can hold! 

 A miscellany of thoughts would continue to rage 
   as I linger there lost in the arresting scenery, 
 taking in the invigorating zephyr; how it soothes
       my skin! It's the most beautiful escape 
            from the chaotic here and now

              On lazy uneventful afternoons
        I oftentimes linger there in meditation, 
     reluctant to leave such a peaceful oblivion, 
      but I must. I always do with bright smile
    as I open my eyes again to a peaceful world.

Premium Member Through The Eyes Of Babes

Filtering through the empty broken balconies along the rivieras
are the waning cacophonies echoing monotonous songs, 
“Merciless they are to us at the breaking of dawn”
Where life once thrived, we arrived in the city called the strip, 
an open-air prison, an amphitheater without any spectators                 
insight, although the world is watching 
We trudge onto yet another camp
The sun brings nothing, not anything more than light 
that shines upon a smokey sky
I see more of nothingness, space, void, rubble 
Everything is foreign and everyone has changed
All are cold, scared, and hungry, we walk aimlessly
In the hands of anyone unknowing if he or she's sane 
There is so much fear, I am no longer safe
A new reality has come upon me
To the smell of death should I adapt?
A new day has dawned, morning has broken
Echoes pick up murmurs of others tears long spent
sifting through these ruins where I hide 
Unattended unattached, no time for a sigh,
cry, or yawn, I am zombie like
The unrest of the last night has begun again
The recent blood red scenes now past
Yesterday's echoes filter one more reality
Will it be me today?

Premium Member A Seagull's Plight

a resilient soul
hoists his drooping wings
dreary but dreamy
soars far
so high
he keeps on searching for his illusive dreams
regardless of the storm and height of mountains
goes through miles away
in his equanimity
straight with vision of sunrays
on  plight are failures
not too bad
tries again
the mighty swords in his heart
so much patience and love help him to survive
in every  vicissitude and kinks of his life
oftentimes
we  can get the melody of what we want
if we  allow the cacophonies to come

Premium Member Poetry Is Powerful

"Poetry” is a most powerful instrument 
like a flute that is to be played.
Also, it is a pungent possibility 
like a newly created perfume put on.
Yet, free to all, and for all to wear.
This is to be adorned, and is
one of the most of the highest of solemn calls.
Words that are spoken and then engraved,
never to be forgotten or ignored.

It can reshape the world 
that is in pieces and so, so torn.
A restorative medicine 
to a life that is very, very worn.
An elixir of life and 
a healer of lives beset by strife.
A lifter of our inner thoughts 
and our buried emotions.

A fire-works of explosions 
raising us up to a newer dimension.
A reversal of cacophonies, man-made devastations.
Words of pretty portraits and musical orchestras 
of artistically crafted words:
Seamed stitched and woven and fashionably embroidered.
Also, made into a mighty steely shining sword.

On Catching the Flu - Ifl

A thousand drummers playing drums
within my head, 
like firecrackers bursting, 
Rivers of (whatever) oozing out, 
Trickling eyes, prickling nose, 
Snee..achoo!..zing...and sneezing...and sneezing! 
Every muscle aches, 
Feeling fatigued and flushed, 
Puffy eyes, stuffy nose, 
Bouts of throaty cacophonies come out uninvoked , 
Body sore, mood sourer.. 
Even the bed seems uncomfortable, 
Pain deludes, sleep eludes (snuffle!) 
Inflamed glands fight ill-famed flu, 
Tasteless food, faceless foe, endless distress, 
Don't come near! This is contagious! 
Life is drear, this is outrageous! 
Eyes flowing, nose-blowing! 
And I feel like... 
Chasing this flu away.

Premium Member Comforting a Newborn Thing

colored craving things arrive
reaching tender to assault 
eyes unused in wintered 
hollow months
grey and white and plain
becoming sudden kaleidoscopes 
bleeding into landscapes, 

drowning pain
with cacophonies of endless greetings, 
as nature emerges 
with energies and hunger.
awakening to spring 
and living now again

along a garden wall 
in shades of many trees 
where grasses lean 
to show the shallows 
left by bended knees, 
winter mourns her missing 
finds the solace spring allows.

each year, the trees and grasses 
form a springtime here.
shadows burst to life 
inserting wisdom to our trowels, 
flagstones, breadcrumbs, 
streaks of dappled sun through arbor boughs.
clouds of every nation’s hue 
the garden wall allows.

beneath the trees along a wall, 
where mother earth colludes with all 
to waken us again to waiting lives.
where we will walk again 
into the morning light,
allowing the night 
to pass over us.

we follow our footsteps west, 
facing the sun, feeling its radiance upon us 
as the kiss of day meets us there.
each morning, the border of a new frontier. 
where things are quiet, unborn of fear. 
finishings are left, beginnings yet to be. 
new is all there is to see.
 
eyes searching skies here, 
ears detecting clues.
hearts wait here 
for the birth of their comfort.

upon a log 
with gnarled burls 
of hardened skin 
we find a resting bench, 
with green moss tablecloths 
grown from the earth 
by a slow-moving wisdom, 

providing reflection, 
this tree laid down its life centuries ago 
knowing one day we would come 
to sit upon its broad back
and learn that faith 
is sharing life 
through patience and sacrifice.

nearby, the ocean waves 
create a spray that towers over all.
providing raindrops 
sent to linger on the garden wall.
dew drops form on maple leaves; 
however small.
although each soul is born to
a different medium,

spring shall bend itself to form a call 
of new beginnings 

giving birth to endings 
that will one day 

beckon every drop to find its fall.
