Premium Member The Playground

Great moments in childhood

THE PLAYGROUND.
Responsible for
bumps, bruises, broken bones
busted egos
Redeemed by
spontaneous acts of wisdom
retaliation, retribution and mercy.

THE “JUNGLE BARS”
A ten foot high tower
ruled by a reincarnated
Olympic gymnast.

THE “SEE-SAW”
An 18 foot plank
Balanced on a fulcrum
(never trust the other kid
to dismount slowly and ease you down)

THE CENTRIFUGE
(aka the kid killer)
A 12 foot in diameter lever powered device.
Purpose - to allow children to spin so fast
that they could be thrown in a tumbling
mass across the stone strewn ground.

THE “SLIDE”
A 15 foot long metal chute
Capable of reaching temperatures of 125 degrees
on a perfect “let’s go play in the park” day.

THE “SWINGS”
A controllable Grandfather Clock 
capable of inducing great fear and excitement
and an insatiable desire to get higher – faster.
(often thought of as a “gateway drug”)

Premium Member Spiritual No Political No Physical Emergency-

What is the vision;
Capitalism
Socialism is this bar and reprimanded
Truth is silenced
Political guidance
Rapture coming forth
Evil breeze on me
Centrifuge called and they lose
Breath and takes
Pandemic dilemma
War on humanity
No dire calamity
Science and politics don't mix
The reality is more the devil's tricks
Warren is not his tricks that contain us
 it's our choices that defamed us
Listening to the wrong voice and choosing the wrong choice as they encapsulate us
What is the true vision what is the truth mandate
What is the purpose of this political mandate
Business circulate by being a hypocrite 
When you don't participate 
What gives you the right to complain and yet
Political dilemma 
War on humanity 
No dire sincerity 
Politics and science won't mix 
The truth is in the heavens 
Just resist the devil 
And he will flee 
This is a spiritual 
Not physical emergency

Manifestation of Metier Write

Manifestation of métier write

As an indie alt rock'n 
tribe beck ha rolling stone dishabille poet,
who views challenge of writing analogous
to begetting an heir or heiress,
which former includes 
gestation of an emotion,
idea, sentiment,...unbeknownst
if outcome birthed to be fabulous
then however the whimsical notion spins
within thine cerebral centrifuge,
the imagination pregnant with fetus
of a fledgling concept feeling 
with byte size sea legs,

not quite ready for prime time 
and beak combs devious, industrious, 
overconscientious (hopefully), victorious...
though, as swollen womb dar full expansive
lettered girth manifests and coalesces
into miniature Confucius
versatile Buddha baby 
(unless unexpected contusions
render exertion aborted effort), the proud
pro-creator bounteous, glorious, riotous
which unexpected success inspires 
brassy, ironic, steely wordsmith
to tackle another and fleeting thought
and sire by product with audacity.

Oft times the sacred seconds silenced
by stillness louder than "Big Ben"
ear splitting only to me - squirreled away
in this makeshift manorial man cave
the grateful dead foo fighters quiet, a riot
with audio logical sonic boom decibel -
asper water nymph sprung from fen
or when the quick brown 
(sneaky, leery, and fiery) fox
jumps over the lazy dog
slips into the house,
where the yolk cull doth roost
long fostering mass squawking
of manifold egg on eyes zing hen.

the end result metamorphoses into
a totally tubular unforeseen jumble
of gibberish senseless wordy clump
aspiring to convey some essence of logic,
though best to take a furlough than persist
to interpret dump
of discordantly strung English bits,
which intractable insistence
might spell f-o-r-c-e-d g-r-u-m-p

as the mood one may find them-self,
unless he/she can call
the literary mod squad to resolve harrumph
and with any lucky the once amorphous lump
pen pro lit tarry hit might undergo
an amazing transformation a mugwump,
a cherished poem plump
with juicy fruit weighing down the boughs
as if limbs ready to slump.

Premium Member Saturnian Dreams

On Saturnian nights I rise; 
homing in on apogee and perigee, 
my soul rises.

Free-floating energy mingles, 
with crackling static; 
my body feels nothing and I feel no body.

Crystalline ice in hydrogen milk,
can float my soul forever; 
safe in its womb, am I.

A celestial merry-go-round; 
Saturnian rings spin Saturnian dreams; 
they lull me to sleep.

On Saturnian nights; 
etheric body in flight greets many souls; 
who’ve gone before.

A classroom of grace, it is; 
a spiritual recharging station;
Saturnian nights invigorate all of my senses.

A soul in flight on a Saturnian night; 
hears symphonic lessons, 
in staccato verbiage.

I awaken from Saturnian dreams; 
a new spirit in an old body; 
with wider zest for life.  
The Saturnian centrifuge,
 brings much clarity.

Premium Member As It So Happened

she drifted through an egg timer

as if imprisoned in a snow globe

a speckle of dust in the heat of sequence

turned upside down and back again

a centrifuge of forced cohesion

control anger self-imposed consent


she slipped on the endless surface

banged her head against the ceiling

dropped to the treacherous floor

only to take a breath of despair

suspended in broken limbo and

a script written by wrath injuries

incarceration dogma and defeat


wreathed with a crown of thorns

lacerated scared and vulnerable

puncture marks and crude exclamation

of a protagonist in agony


eventually the looking glass broke

shards and fragments set her free

no shelter apart from mental pain

bruised shattered and surrendered

a barely audible voice released the void


as she gathered the grains of doubt

enforced discomposure and surprise

she realized that she was far more

than the sum of intangible parts

and picked up the pieces aware

that certainty and collusion

had not been her friends but 

evil foes had ruled her sentience


scattered strew swept her skin

as if to say sift through the dredge

once the cover dissipated in the fall out

no more a shell of crushing forces

she walked away as fast as the storms

that had held her captive for so long

When the Centrifuge Winds Down

The butterflies flew off some weeks ago.
Pools of blood from my pierced heart have dried up.
My feelings leak insignificant flow -
I no longer drink from passion's sweet cup.

Still, you must realize that love never dies,
for it derives from more than skittish heart.
My soul and my eyes could never disguise -
I still hope that our story soon might start.

Tamer, now - fire, somewhat softer - desire,
but, for all that, hardly less strong or true.
I've guessed from first glance - your face - angel's choir!
I still think it could be right - me and you.

I'll admit - sometimes I taste fear in wait.
But love is patient ... I submit to fate.

Premium Member - Black Veil -

No one can see my eyes
they a covered with dark sunglasses
Dark as my soul and my thoughts

When life goes in grim backstreets
it's reflected by a deeper truth about who I am
My most penetrating screams are always silent
Why should life be so difficult,
where we wear a mask ?

The underside of my wings,
will lead me away into another reality
There is a lot of mystery attached to the theater of life
Out and in of different roles
and various performances -
placed in a centrifuge

When I feel I fall eight feet straight down
while, in reality, I'm sitting in bed
The choices are that I don't need to
to identify me or my own experience
with the content of my thoughts

Centrifuge buried in the pond

The night was dead silent and my body was on fire, sweat start rolling from my head leaving a pool of water in the middle of the bed; my tee-shirt was soaking wet and I was gasping desperately for breath, I thought I was coming down with the flu but that was far from the truth, the external temperature had risen and it felt like a crucible was moving around in the heavens, and so I went outdoors and felt myself drifting towards the shores.  I didn’t know how I got there but I was sitting on a big ship, with loud music on the deck and people moving around in duplicates with beach towels wrapped around men bodies and women parading in bikinis. For one moment I felt out of place as the ship move from place to place, through choppy waters and the music gets louder and louder. Waiter and waitress were moving around serving all forms of beverage for extra tips with sliced lemon on the edge of the glass; I knew that the journey would last. I did not plan it, I did not organize it but I find myself in the middle of it. No one was serving me, for they could not see me, but I was silently enjoying their company. More people were coming from inside the ship, and the scene suddenly changed into a carnival mood, and everyone start taking off and tossing their shoes and dancing to the carnival rhythm. The ship kept moving around dropping off and picking up people around cities and towns. I got off at one of the stops and that was the ship’s final stop. The crowd was so thick, and everyone was doing their own thing as they join the carnival rhythm. I felt a deep premonition, but I could not tell what was transpiring on the inside, my body was still hot and something was dripping from the ship that docked beside the board walk next to the crowded bench. I kept drifting from crowd to crowd, until everything was spaced out, something was getting hotter inside me as I made my way towards the edge of the sea. Everyone was having a good time, but something was bubbling up from the inside; the forces were so strong, that it emits a strong energy that exploded in the ship. People were running and screaming and stepping on one another. I woke up from my sleep and realized that I had drifted in the deep and was traveling in my sleep. I was still hot and water was dripping from my back, and the rain began to fall.
