Premium Member Yet More Than a Brother
Moods oscillate in cadences of peaks and valleys
Music to fractious emotions on greasy dance floors
Mistimed cues of flares smouldering relationships

Angst of redundancy seethes from within as lava
Anger is camouflaged with the cloak of reticence
Ardour suffocated...

But we poets, guided with divine wisdom, are
The lay scribes thereof in the chronicling of
Our life’s sojourn in the shadowing times

The Window
Melted candles atop a resigned dresser
Wilted roses lying atop a white cloud
The flickering of fires and shadows mesh well with your
Batting eyelashes your heavy words and your breathing in rhythm with
the cadences of muted car...

Allow the Mind
Allow the mind
Afford its need to conjure
Profound:
If exaltation and majesty
Require a bit of provocation and amnesty today
Humor:
As remedy and coagulation
From the bleeding of
Pain, stress and anger
Affection:
To reach out from solitary
Disconnectedness and remind
Ourselves that human beings...

After lightning parted the night sky
And shook windows with the thunderous sound
Of the parted clouds crashing back together
And after this night of pouring rain, howling winds
And flashing windows...

Kristel had some old scores to settle for good or for better

She had tried the violin with no significant results other

Than a crystalline chandelier shattering quite frequently

When she raised the bow after too shrieking concertos

Oratory - Power of the Spoken Word
As words escaped constricted passage
of time from eons of layered myths,
legends of demi-gods thus linked,
in glowing rendition, with whisk on hand
the Orator with staff, sang the Eel to slumber.

As words from parched lips of orchids,...

You Speak, In Surrender
You speak— to me without an utterance
	In every sunset you speak

Brilliant orange hues dance fervently, igniting all in sight; 
setting the horizon ablaze. A gentle sapphire tide gently, beckons the crimson fire to 
subside, as...

Sound Argument
Snick-woosh, rushing stream
Clink, gurgle, doppler shift
Glub then tinkle, drip drip
Crystal scrape metallic
A plastic click, pause, muffled hiss
Gurgle, snort, chuckle, snuff
Plink… Plink plink… Drizzle, drip, drizzle, drop
Coffee is brewing

Dry rustle, crinkle, pages on wood
Chock, thwock, slap,...

their gaiety snores in rhythmic peaks of cadences,
The lily livered japes

A Heart's Melody

Harmony palpitates...conducts the abandoned chamber, 
albeit, interludes providently...kept in tune with themselves.
The metered winks...influencing oneness to soothe and rise.

The cloud nine reviewed....negotiating remembrances
of "Each and All", the "Earth...

Harmony resonates...fulfills an abandoned chamber, 
albeit, interims vigilantly monitored...by one's self,

Gleeful eyes revisit....a hosts of crossing memories,
