Premium Member Daily Whispers

Whispers to wake up
pull me with grace-prop.

Whispers wafting hope
propel faith midst cope.

Whispers for work height
push prayer delight.

Whispers checking time
sound achievement chime.

Whispers smiting grief
usher joy's relief.

Whispers of my child
special, sweetly styled.

Whispers soul does hear
cause repentant tear.

Whispers of death hush
silence heart's strong rush.

Whispers midst love bliss
never should I miss.

Whispers from God’s voice*
cheer restive night’s poise.

*Psalm 29:4 The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is full of majesty.

I am now a butterfly

As she drinks nectar from a flower, sweetness from heaven falls like dew  
anointed with a gentle rain amidst sun showers she appears as if on cue
 
Lifting her wings she lands on a Zinnia beneath a tinted sky of April blue 
flight of fancy fanning fast, fabulous marvel, she is beauty true on true 

Pheromones fill the air as the males call the females to their abode
their abdomens linked tail-to-tail, and on the damsels' eggs the male seed are sowed

From thereon, dull caterpillars slowly transformed into exquisite beauties
then, to a new hope, many newborns flew, making gardens filled with cuties

She then whispered that before brightness, there was a very dark darkness~
so don’t give up on your life just because your present swims in starkness

"Learn from my life cycle," she further said, "beauties that once were can still be
so your belief in sunshine after this raging storm is paramount and key"

From then on, she became me, and I became her, and hope of a better tomorrow fills me
far from me, fear then fled—I face my problems with glee, from hopelessness my life is free

Premium Member Veil

sliver of vertical night
  visible slit along the curtain centre-line
  too lazy to pull them tight
  surely nobody outside lurking, peering in
  winds rise, branches creak and fight
  rattling thud, something moves, somewhere not far away
  cosy on the edge of fright
  the rain does lash, thrash and thrum on the window-pane
  so cuddle in, out of sight
  turn toward the pillow, tilted still half-looking
  focus drifting, downward flight
  eye-lid motion mimics uneasy state of sleep


  first birdsong disturbs the doze
  veil back-lit as dawn dissolves dim glowing darkness
  scan the length, the hanging sweep
  beaks announce material folds, suggested deer
  expectant, ready to leap
  doughy face and furtive shape emerge re-pleating
  reality skinny skin-deep
  dreamscapes drape the new day with tall tapestry tales
  so draw the future and reap
  hopeful morning, rays bathing bountiful beauty
  as little wings cheer and cheep
  clouds pass the sun, grounded feathers in the shadows


  don the mask, heave on the cloak
  defend against the viral load, heavy breathing
  watch out for febrile folk
  wild games people play, clandestine intermingling
  beware anointed keystroke
  shaman, mullah, rabbi, priest, cleric, monk and nun
  flames not far below the smoke
  guardians of supernatural jealous gods
  those who divide, those who stoke
  whether hijab, masak or turban, coife or quimpe
  jibe, jape or jeer, jest or joke
  lives matter much more than statues masquerading

Premium Member Christmas Time- the Hotan N' Dodoitsu Style

~Christmas Time~
(Hotan/Dodoitsu)


Christmas getting close
It's now around the corner
Celebrate baby Jesus
Trees glow bright
Shine with awesome lights
Folks shopping
Time for rejoicing
Think of others that got less
Christmas, time to give

Spread all thru Christmas more love
Spread during Christmas more joy
Spread this holiday more cheer
Keep your heart open

Control Blues

I have so much control, I don't know what to do
I have so much control, I don't know what to do
If I get any more control, I think I'm through 

The power to have control is a terrible thing
You can tear a delicate bird apart at the wings
And what if you happen to choose the wrong song to sing?

You have control over things both big and small
The lives of your children, the pictures on your wall
You can be a poor son to the mother you never call

I didn't know that I had control over this 
The shape of my waistline, even the way that I kiss
Back when I had no control, ignorance was bliss

I can see why God is so mad and unsure
I'd be crazy too with all that to endure
For every disease, why I'll bet He's got the cure

I could be a good man, but it's so goddamn hard
Slave over wages and rake all the leaves in the yard
Control all the little habits I need to discard

All you control fiends, listen unto what I say
And be grateful your life is a series of meaningless days:
Ain't nothing sweeter than slipping back into the haze 

So I don't believe in chaos or entropy 
I think that we orchestrate what we want us to be
The puller of strings knows the curse of the truly free
The puller of strings -- that's the curse of the truly free.

The lonely Kitsune

Climbing the tree,
The tallest one of course,
Because it’s just where I belong,
It’s not like someone would notice me,
Because a Kitsune who loves is only a friend,
A Kitsune who cares won’t get comfort or sympathy,
Kitsunes like me are ment to cry and cling to the tree,
Someone won’t poke my tail to call me down,
My ears won’t get rubbed or patted to flop,
And Thas just…fine…perfectly utterly fine,
While others actually their back against the wall,
While others are bathed in someone’s warmth 
I’m fine…I’m just utterly and perfectly fine,
All alone on my tall and long tree,
I mean,
It’s all I’m really worth,
Like my time and the things I hold dear,
Utterly,
Completely,
Worthless.
-Kitsuko Dragonstar

Premium Member MOUNTAIN ROAD TRIP

He packed his snacks with reckless cheer,  
three pine-cones gone before first gear;  
he zoomed uphill without a care~  
this squirrel’s bound for mountain air.

He stopped to pose by every pine,  
claimed each tall peak as “truly mine,”  
took selfies with his windswept hair~  
this squirrel’s bound for mountain air.

He chased a goat up rocky ground,  
then waved at hikers all around;  
the switchbacks spun him everywhere~  
this squirrel’s bound for mountain air.

And when he reached the summit’s crest,  
he puffed his chest and squeaked, “I’m blessed!”  
then glided down with style to spare~

Premium Member If I Could Travel To and Fro

To my Dad...

If I could travel to and fro
The winds of change would meekly blow

And Heaven's Gate, that opened wide
Would stay shut tight, Dad at my side

Our campfires, when the firelight danced
You'd find me safe, 
wrapped in your glance

Upon this path, which trail to take
Close by my side, clear choice you'd make

And when the future seems forlorn
You'll summon Angels, squash the storm

Missteps, success, I know your here
Your steady hand  "jamesy!"  your cheer!

On down the road, around the bend
I know you're there!

Dear Dad,

My friend!

Premium Member Christmas In July

July is the month of monsoon rains in our part of the land when there will be incessant downpour and flooding in coastal areas and low lying lands 

In the vast expanse up so high,
In the caliginous July night sky, 
A lone star trailed along from Heaven’s arch,
And through hindering clouds it did march. 
Its lambent rays dancing in gleeful light,
Making everything luminously bright.
All starlets cowered in shame,
Hiding in corners, fearing blame.

It got stationed above a thatched manger,
Where baby Jesus lay swaddled in rags in rainy weather
Promising the gift of love and joy to mankind
Assuring everyone salvation and peace of mind.

The wind that blows is icy chill
Freezing cold is the water of the rill
Trees stand washed in rain
The sky, in greying clouds remain

Lights from nearby houses shine
Sending out a radiance divine
Christmas trees stand finely decorated
Cribs are colourfully illuminated
Stars and festoons can’t be hung in the open,
As in pouring rain, they may be broken. 
July is not a month fit for the king to take birth,
Who has come to bless the world with cheery mirth

Yet, the whole land is vibrant with festivity.
The pouring rain hasn’t doused the gaiety.
Sunshine or rain, no matter the weather,
Friends and family are happy together.
Christmas wraps every heart in cheer,
Though it falls in July, the rainy month of the year!

Premium Member Be a Sunshine Machine



No matter what happens to you,
You have to be your own sunshine 
machine in all that you do!


Angels will cross your path as if 
from nowhere.
What a waste of time moaning 
about what is gone, somewhere?


A lover left? There are billions left 
on the planet.
Way better than the one who left,
who was boring and stagnant.


So much in life to cheer, yes mam,
even now!!
What you want~ create it, see its being 
born before it is~ holy cow!

Go comment more, call your friends on 
a real phone.
Play music, dance, do not moan!

Turn fear on its fat rear, waltz in the sun 
and prance.
Dream of a glorious future and of course,
romance!

Play your sunshine machine loud and clear.
You know you are a winner.
Climb mountains, not anthills, my dear!


Go for it~ with hugs,
Panagiota
