Premium Member F a M O U S For W-H-A-T

“I wear the chain I forged in life,” replied the ghost,
“I made it link by link, and yard by yard; I girded it on
of my own free will, and of my own free will I wore it.”

— Marley in Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol




“Why is the rum gone?”

“True enough, the compass does not point North…
it points to the thing you want most in the world”

— Jack Sparrow, Pirates of the Caribbean





f a m o u s for w-h-a-t



what’s friendship, when famous —

drip drip drip of diamonds
gold that clamors and clangs

      like a Marley ghost

(the knockers froth)

a revolving door, an arrow
          North
West
                    East
           South

Cupid’s conundrum—
a whirring compass,
C-a-p-t-a-i-n Sparrow’s

birds spinning on a clothesline
dropping sans five and dime
w-a-s-t-i-n-g your time

in a party b-u-s  t
white powder
angel dust

silk stockings posing on seats
                    s-m-e-l-l-s of feet

hair tossed like a Caesar salad
jaded olives, glitter dressing

and who w-o-n your underpants

nothing left underneath…

Premium Member Nero, The Incendiary

Hail, the doorway keen on the known world ... theme wails attention,
time of roses' blooms cower ... usurped magentas, aloof maroons,
for the flight of the gossamers ... assume benefits of the whole.

Latial premise culture ... tastes upland and coastal regions,
a frequency of single-mindedness ... surrendering taught thoughts,
as the virginal breed ... practices gifts unerringly.

Motherly cling to the high order ... the lap of power,
Emperor Augustus's Agrippina ... hails a league lineage,
the first passed adoption papers ... history at two years of age.

Emperor Claudius handheld Lucious ... heir apparent,
timely obligations convene ... Praetorians and the Senate,
youth rules ... Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus

A singularity ventures ... shadows accomplish deeds,
airs cultural growth, diplomacy, trade ... and games of sporting chance,
distractions for feeble minds ... a mother, a wife, bled graven vows.

Minds of the destitute clamors ... affluence hushed from rears,
slaves dying daily ... entertained popularized its purposes,
at slave's expense, and Rome's aristocracy ... via taxation.

Rome burns for Nero's 'Golden House'... Christians blamed for flames,
rumors swapped clamors ... Emperor Galba aids Senator Vindex,
Christian deaths were wrongful ... Nero lost popular support.

Nero ruled known enemy ... condemned to death in absentia,
negatives fly ... as tyrannical, self-indulgent, and debauched,
he flees Rome ... 9 June AD 68, commits suicide.

Premium Member A World Without War

Peace and unity sing in harmony, echoing worldwide,
When acts of humility replace revenge-infused pride,
When narrowness of mind, naked ambitions subside,
When nations of goodwill, stand together side-by-side.

No inconsolable tears, flooding grief in mothers’ eyes,
No gloomy dawns rise, in smoke of war on sunny skies,
Clamors of hungry, displaced souls, no longer agonize;
No more shattered dreams, buried alive, to eulogize.

Nothingness ceases to vacate sanctity of self-esteem,
Children now rejoice, reminiscing in Cinderella-dream,
Vying bliss of tranquil, endearments of amity redeem,
Discarding ill will, shrieking from yore of vicious regime.

Hiroshima, Nagasaki—echoes of sad, remorseful past,
Resonate horror and shock, from memories aghast;
A world without war, a wish too far, yet close to heart,
Achievable when covenants of life don’t keep us apart.

Dignity of humanity ranks supreme, as priorities change,
Nations engage in educational and cultural exchange,
Farms and factories hum, ensuring hunger is eliminated
As peace and unity toll, from hearts and minds elated.

Premium Member That Moment

When every conscious thought must cease
Held captive till the sweet release

When all else simply falls away
there is no night, there is no day

When life is held in Pleasure's will
and all that clamors becomes...still

When Passion plays her final hand
and all succumbs to her demand

When tremors thunder and excite
In throes of Pleasure's righteous might

When our hands grip and bodies writhe
In wait of crash of coming tide 

When senses are at highest peak
and soul is trembling, breathless, weak

That moment when to self I'm true
is that sweet moment I'm one with you

Premium Member Theres a Fool Acting Like Hes You

When fate clashes
With destiny or
Your illusions
Clamors with reality
If hope and dreams
Are saboteurs
Then what happens to
Your future;
If in this life, you
Cannot face the
Challenges that
Appear and 
You live inside
Your head,
Huddled up in fear
In your own little 
World of illusions
Where you get treated
Greatly.
You have become a
King inside
Your world and
Your status is quite
Stately.
As long as you stay
Tucked away-
Inside the castle in
Your mind.
You'll never have to
Meet the fool
That plays you in
Real life.
There is a fool out here
That looks a lot like you;
He even he sounds
Like you do too.!
Could this fool that we
Witness with our eyes
Somehow be in your skin: 
Or is there a pretender
Out there: 
Pretending as if he's you?
We, your friends want to ask,
Is he of some kin?
Because it seems there's a
Fool out there acting
As if he were you...
African Proverb says
“You have become a
King in the land of illusions
While in the land of
Reality you remain a fool”

Ode to the Flower of March 2011



Got thee on so-called Lit. Day

At second Ramayan play –



Oh how this day tested me

When time came, not yet ready

8 AM our program must

Most unprepared, oh aghast

Others were out the junction

Sounds went into malfunction



Disappointed superiors

Extended out their clamors

And moved the program further

Towards a one noon after

Thanks God there's no more trial

Lit. Day flowed through its final



Proud of my BEED IV

With their guts & splendor

But when everything's over

Cendy left flower scepter



Then Lorie Jean picked it up

Saw it timely, got asap.

Premium Member Inner Peace Made with a Tale

I can't escape hearing the voices.
Even when, I myself, am utterly alone,
Even when the plea for peace,
is threadbare, shredded into tatters 
of shrugged-off 'don't matters'.

The child I once was,
clamors for wonder, mischief, and make-believe.
The critic leans back, arms-crossed,
primed to tear down every armistice deal.
The dreamer scatters blueprints 
made of butterfly wings,
stalling, stalling, 
for happenstance to lead the way.
The doubter folds paper chain dolls,
strung together with paperclip chains.

The judge bangs the gavel on the table, commanding:
"Enough of the blithering!" 
"This piecemeal deal must be done—Today!"

The mirror shows I myself, splintered into
a bookcase of shadows, on the shelves.
In the High Court of Inner Appeal -
They beg to differ, plead to acquiesce, 
to become as one, 
all-inclusive, but failing —

Then, another shadow enters the room.
A tiny puppy wagging its tail!
Mind is at peace. 
Peace is here, if you please!

Pine Forest Redoubt

Sun's rays glint through the glistening pines
Residual moisture imbibes the fawning heat
A cloak of needles hovers over the clandestine copse
Fertile fortress clothes the stunted flora
A whispering breeze bristles through the jaded cones
Resinous scent blankets the blanched meadow
Fondling fungus shrouds the damp floor
Glittering flora splices the distant, tawny terraces
Frothy owls hoot above the hoary mist
Foraging squirrels funnel through the fallen, nutty residue
Hollow bark clamors with the jackhammers of restive peckers
Decaying mantle rattles with the sounds of boring beetles
Cackling turkeys scour the ridges for autumn's latent seeds
Petulant peccaries prat and preen through the bleached undergrowth
Earth-toned stags nestle in the deep thickets
Rippling brook gurgles through the sunken hollow

White Noise Mind

Unfolding in the dark hours of the night
Antipathies leak from the mind of the youth 
Sleep has left the trembling body
The brain pending in the antique tempos of lives inexpressible
They are noises, vices, barreling in the depths of awareness
Neither recognized nor void of remembrance, they converse
The various volumes crescendo to high peaks, then subside
The youth buries her head into the gentleness of her cushion
She can’t make out who they are
The disembodied voices grow faint, realizing their effect
As the static sets in and wails a constant A flat
And the youth closes her deep-set eyes
No one else can hear it
She never remembers them fully
Till the night fiddles its way inside her heart
Caressing the crude conversations
Trying to listen and love them,
She can only make out a few arbitrary words
The rest of the noise is tempered, blurred, wrestled, and meddled
She longs for a deep, peaceful slumber
But the aching of climbing clamors of numbers
Elevates towards infinity in the wasteland of her thoughts
These thoughts are not hers!
Whose are they?
They are trapped in a cruel electrifying box for all time
And somehow their conversations are still alive
Somehow in this weakened mind
They powerfully thrive
