My World

A world seen through open eyes,

No one is wearing a disguise,

Sharing a part of their prize,

As their love starts to rise.

Silencing hungers cry,

No longer slaves to their demise,

People growing wise to the lies,

No longer afraid,

They claim their lives.

As humanity strives for a brighter tomorrow,

Love comes in drowning the sorrow,

No need to beg, borrow or ask,

Money will have a different task.

As we bask in our dreams,

Listening to the streams,

As the sun beams,

Joy into every seam.

People and nature in harmony,

Animals are no longer mean,

Now that the system is balanced and clean,

Everyone is on the same team.

We affix a new regime,

Where love is the leader,

The Preacher, and teacher,

Within the Heart of every creature.

Old Soldiers Cafe

The old soldiers Café 

We went to my favoured restaurant it is no longer so,
on a table near us sat a group of Ukrainians eating plenty
of meat with sausage and the server said there was no more left
so we lunched on a dish I wasn`t keen on.
Eight of them men with brutal faces and as the wine flowed
they spoke about the war and killing Russians.
Two of them looked like assassins, those with long knives
who kill silently in the night, eating the food I wanted.
My wife said I was fantasising they were workmen who
had left their country to seek employment elsewhere I was not sure.
My food didn’t look as good as theirs, so we left early and 
I didn`t eat my food left the glass of wine untouched in a futile 
attempt to show my dislike, but no one noticed.

Premium Member Hard Road To Easyville - Baron of Tunnel Hill

I sat on the beach sifting time through my hands.
I felt like a slot machine whore.
The ocean was preaching her Siren’s demand
I abandon my past at the shore.
So, I shook off the sand, turned my back to the surf,
Locked up my anatomy bones, took a number two pencil,
A number nine cloud and set off for the mountains alone.

There was nothing but traffic stretched bumper to butt.
Gave a thought to a change of career.
I was stuck on I-80, my foot on the clutch,
Feeling life slip away in first gear.
Had to exit the freeway and find my way home.
Didn’t miss it, just favored the sound
Of someone I know simply saying, “Hello,
Been too long since we’ve seen you around.”

Found a town full of hipsters with hats made of whims,
And jeans that screamed, “Don’t let me down!”
Spliced the mainbrace on Bank Street and wandered about.
Crossed the bridge to the north side of town.
Grabbed my bat when I got to the ballpark.
Checked my stance when I stepped to the plate.
Eyed a runaway fastball aimed straight for my chin.
Up and in, slammed it far and away.

Felt hard in between and hard in betwixt. 
Been disavowed and eighty-sixed.
There’s broke in me that can’t be fixed. 
I’m bad, and I’ve never been badder,
But I wonder was it worth it, 
The cost of all I had to lose to get here.

I’m a fish out of water that learned how to walk.
A fish out of water for sure.
But I’m living it up like the Duke of Burgoyne
And my Duchess is luscious and pure.
It’s been a long hard road to Easyville
Where I manage my domain on Tunnel Hill.
And I haunt the ravines between Cromby and Mingo,
My barony a triumph of the will.

Premium Member Reflections On Labor Day

It is always hard to measure 
When people experience romantic pleasure 
Expressing love 
Peaceful as a dove 
For one another 
Warm sentiments resulting in Father and Mother 
And the results could be 
A family of three 
But why can the knot 
Initiated from the looks they both got 
Bringing soothing trust 
Nervously crumbling at the knees begging a must 
Is it a crime?  
Just to make a lifelong commitment in time 
Gazing into the eyes 
Never telling any lies 
Focusing on a career 
Enjoying the weekend friendly beer 
Travelling the world 
Being the honeymoon guy and girl 
For some reason 
Due to couple’s pleasing 
Physical interaction 
Definition being getting some action 
Creates a situation 
Admitting the wife labeled hospital patient 
Products to buy 
Encountering all night cries 
Classes experience and try 
Pulled in different directions 
Bride’s body constantly under inspection 
Scared of rejection 
Honest facades no need for confession 
Economy stupid issue a reality addressing 
Dinner table clean up isn’t only messing 
Diapers are only one’s guessing 
Challenging the pair 
Come together in care 
As they share 
This component to the marriage affair 
When stork day arrives 
And the newborn realizes they are alive 
It is a joyous thing 
Giving glitz and glamour to the bonding ring 
Securing those special moments 
That had going 
Innocent and true 
Between two 
Who publically stated ‘I do’

Dream Date - Perfect Woman - Didactic

Dream Date – Perfect Woman - Didactic

I like a woman with a pulse
Not too strong though
Competition frightens me
She should come from parents, (maybe two)
Not hatched from an egg
Skin of seasoned leather with cratered face 
If her leg is missing, left or right, that’s ok
As long as she has one to hop away
Crime should always be on her mind
Stealing wallets and purses makes her perfect
I don’t like to work so there must be a career girl lurking
The perfect woman carries her own paper bags
For her face while making love and robbing banks
I want a girl who comes with her own card board box for two
A place that we call home
If she is psychotic that’s fine too
A girl with stinky feet and monster tattoos will do
And takes a butcher knife to bed when day is done
I like adventure

A New Celebration

Interst he found it hard to stay
interested, probably due to his
lack of relating to the subject matter.
Things I had never seen
words that didn't relate to the subject matter

" love what do it look like
and what does it want me to see"
" concern for all people
who has such concern for me"

What is love that you wish that of me
what is the conflict when i ask if
you love me?

than in retrospect one must ask one's self
Love detail's what: especially when
you have someone else.
Than that love is unseen but felt
it involves things in return?
No the voice inside of me say's
Love often involves no return.

I love you Groovey Sounding Orchestra Song
that makes people jump from there seats
I love you Orchestra grooving song
That makes people dance to the beat

your Percussions and strings
when they "Whoomp" with the horns 
Description of the strings
they are created and formed
groovin'- groovin' yeah
that's the one!
I love you something song
those lyrics are right on!

Premium Member When Frozen Feelings Fail To Touch

The childhood long left behind, waned 
on course of climbing career trajectory.
In hectic life pursuing promises prime
he had always felt the shortage of time,
so short all the time he was on the run,
climbing two steps of stairs at a time.

Once when his legs betrayed giving in
his head hit the side wall, all was dark.
In injured brain of hurt neuroanatomy
cortal neuron network went haywire.
Dismembered memory disappeared,
he had lost the sense of flow of time
that stopped still in present undefined.
Fractured reasoning intuit collapsed,
nothing connected with anything
in isolated snapshots of disjointed life.
He didn’t know what sadness was
for his maimed mind couldn’t feel
the subtle touch of frozen feelings.

He returned to the childhood world,
stayed there with himself till the end.

Premium Member The Maypole

I remember it well.
The feeling was swell.
It happened once a year;
An event most precious and dear.
The fragrance was in the air.

It was still mid-Spring, but from the sky,
There protruded the aroma of summer.
I hasten to say, it was a beautiful first of May.
And presently, I pause with warm affections, to reflect,
To muse upon the emotions that were like no other day.
To us, May Day was like a holiday encased in amusements.

It was time to plait the Maypole.
With coordination and precision, we flowed
With the rhythm of the music as we danced and skipped                                                                                        
Around the pole, plaiting eye-catching bright and bold colors.
They were rainbow colors, filled with life, like those in our hearts.

Oh, what lovely and memorable visions of childhood, so real and vivid.
No selfies or videos, but the pictures are forever painted in our souls.
It's true that life took us away, far from the shores of childhood festivities.
In our career years, we are encumbered with futuristic aspirations, but as
the locomotive of life slows, our minds swing back to the Maypoles of yesterday.

Prime Time

Lad, use thy prime time
Despise thy prime time
And behold as thou wilt 
Loose thy shine time.
Life is not a roller costar 
If thou wilt not sit and ponder
Thou wilt with thy own hands falter.
Lad use thy prime time
If thou hated a future lime time.
Art thou not a seer of the successful?
Life is not only for gin and juice
So if thou wilt really avoid mass losses,
Start now by planning the wearing of thy
Victories.
Who says the top can't be crowded?
If thou slacken and refrain from 
Utilizing thy potentials, thy top wilt be blurred
And crowded when old age knocketh...
Lad, use thy prime time.
