Premium Member Blue Laughter

Blue laugher dancing across her face
saving her from embarrassing grace.
Another night in Jack’s Corner Bar
leaving her torturous thoughts afar.

Dirty dancing a nightly affair
concealing truths in neon glare.
Cheap, gaudy jewels sparkling in glow
disguising secrets no one must know.

Angel caught in inelegant fall
once the virtuous belle of the ball.
A dark heart deceived her naiveté. 
She fights to keep the demons at bay.

Another round with a double back
barely takes off the chill of attack.
Blue laughter returns to empty eyes,
cloaking sadness in a veiled disguise.

Loud tunes, cheap liquor, thrills on the floor.
Meaningful conversation a bore.
Her dreams for the future tossed aside.
No husband, children, never a bride.

“Bartender, another. Make it two!”
Easy to forget with mind askew. 
Nights full of nothing and nevermore.
Relationships harder than before.

More common these nights she spends alone.
Not the sweet belle as she was once known.
Alone and lonely in her despair.
Options were few when emotions lay bare.

Blue laughter faded and disappeared.
Her heart dead, her reputation smeared.
A future uncertain with lost hope.
She was failure, not ready to cope. 

Music thumping through her throbbing head
replaying the hurtful words he’d said.
She deserves better than she will get.
Nothing left in her glass but regret.

Premium Member Stone-Hearted Love

Written: March 11, 2025

               ***********************

Desert dazzling daisy,
Enchanted by the delicate dance of the wind, 
swayed gently under the warm sun. 
Its vibrant petals caught the light, 
creating a mesmerizing display that drew 
the attention of passing travelers, the light of dawn, 

At dusk, it fades akin to fireworks.
Brilliant blooms of 
dandelions, born from 
a bounty of love, 
are bettor than barren 
baubles of diamonds, 
which emerge from a heart of stone.  

Fantastic flair fills 
hearts with fervor, 
as fleeting fragments fade 
such dewdrops dancing 
delicately on dainty petals.  
An ethereal essence elevates,
joyfully bouncing in the 
the atmosphere as dew emerges.  

Roaring rivers of red rage 
in a realm buried 
beneath darkness, 
holding treasures, 
tattered threads, 
tossed at the threshold, 
gently cloaking love, 
longing and light.  
In a blazing embrace, 
spitting at soaring ships, 
smoldering swifter, 

Togetherness and love soar to the loftiest heights. 
mirroring a midget mirth, 
As a mantis mercilessly mauls its mate,  
Carefree, courageous, captivating,
this scene is filled with frolic and fun,
then they could scream
the fury of forgotten freedom, 
fervently flaring.

Leap into the loving arms.
of a waiting parent— 
Truly treasured is trust.  
There is joy in returning that love
love is not a ledger; 
It doesn't tally totals. 
But for the parents, 
Who do they leap into? 
Trusting love will be met. 
with festive feasts 
and fine wine. 

Progenitor of all progenitors, 
to whom the past is pinned, 
in whose hands the future flourishes, 
famed for nurturing the finest— 
for joy and wellness, 
seeds sown and reaped, 
life rekindled, 
form of finesse and fortitude.  
To heed His harmonious hints, 
with serene Sunday pauses, 
to ponder and perceive 
how one might overlook a signal 
and shift into reverse, 
to regain the path 
and reach a radiant resolution.  

A paradise of playful, 
peaceful pauses, 
and who in truth 
can truly doubt, 
Gazing at the humbly honored 
His everlasting love for us, 
His cherished children 
for whom He chose to die?

Cyber Life

CYBER LIFE


My stamen a purple flare of Light
lit from Galactic Sun
igniting me for an hour or a day 
a week or month, who knows ?
Portholes open ever so slightly 
     Time truly an illusion 

Between petals I zoom extracting 
nectar for cloaking against 
cyber pistols, unpeelings
invasions, unveilings, insertions
      with fire eating flesh

A joke tastes of poison
Moon a metallic observer
Buttons, knobs, numbers, clicks
My babes in their Pleiadian pods
incubated quietly like geraniums 
      in the backyard 

Radiants swirl down marbled stairways
No corridors or medbeds touched
trained so on a faraway planet
Sheets folded in symphony 
      without speck, sparkle or frequency 

We were strapped 
Plutonians commanded
destruction
Tails chopped or dissolved
    pendulums swung

A silent silvery slippery kiss
below a peppered moustache
pats on backs for a job 
        well done

My stamen wilted into mauve
Galactic Sun still waits
for me, as I return 
       to civilian couch

Beyond the Blackbox


Attention:
This one is the problem child.

Mom and dad deny autonomy
take authority over a diary
supervised at all times; no privacy
door hinge wide open
so why are the walls closing in?

This home is an emotion free zone
Mom says save it for therapy
but stops taking me
says my borderline personality is burdening this family’s budget
believes I’ll be cured if she just burns enough cliches into my brain
“Just be happy with what you have,
what have you crafted in your head that is such a tragedy?"

I got pills to pop and prices to pay
I got emotions but I keep 'em oceans away
beyond the combination lock on a black box
Warning:
This medication may make it worse.
Unbearable.
And ain’t that just ironic?
peace of mind partners with possibilities
of seeming more psychotic
but it’s better this way.
				Right?

Anticipate a thirty day delay
and lag like yesterday on your last leg
It’s better this way.
burrow into bed and brand yourself braindead

Just pretend, society says, suffer silently!
act as if any abnormality is absent
accept that it’s actually an act
learn to lock down your breakdowns
let them drown to the box’s rock bottom

Growing sick of cloaking conflicts
in courtesy of concealing others' comfort
so sorry if you choke
I will not spoon feed what you can’t swallow
I will scream my anxieties
annunciate every aspect of agony
trapping me where serotonin's lacking 

Lab rat crawling its way back
taste-testing chill pills
forgetting how to feel real
sleepwalking through a social setting
so sick, yeah, I’m real ill

Everyone tends to forget, 
the tension doesn’t rest when the poem ends.

Premium Member Stay, Baby Mine, Stay

Between the blind slats I see pale light; 		
birds waken and begin to sing. 				

Slowly the inky hold of night weakens, 				
black fingers slipping backwards, 				
dawn gaining strength, brightness.	 			

You turn and open eyes still sleepy, 		
your downy head cradled in my arms; 		
baby sweetness like the fresh morning, 		
soft dewy skin cloaking infant charms. 		

The days flow faster 						
sweeping childhood swiftly past, 					
clouds of child laughter 				
raining happiness each day 					
stay, baby mine, stay with me.

Premium Member Letting Go

Like a master of self-deception

Earnest beliefs and conviction

Throw’s woven rows         potter’s dust rose

Tears flow       my sorrow grows

Intentions to  impose judgments

No more love with disappointments

Grudges need to be relinquished


Gateway to reality arose       extinguished

Old dreams             new ones replenished


Heavy  fray    rope  no longer enslaves me in  bondage

Cool breeze  freely moving  cloaking  my  cheeks  at long last

Falling no longer , but am the person I acknowledge

Satisfying heart,  no longer an echo of the past  
       

bleeding scars untold

relinquished emerald green

letting go    h-e-a-l-i-n-g

Premium Member Two Entwined

Regret drips slowly 
down the terraced walls, it never falls.
A thick green moss forms in the shadows,
a smothering caul. 

~He was a friend to all.~ 

Forevers were sworn,
all that's left are yesterdays, long gone.
What will tomorrow bring, will it be
the joy for which we long? 

~Daughter, Wife, Mother, Mine.~  

A blanket shelters
naked, tearful, truths, and pain we'll not see
like the moss it cloaks regret in dark
cloaking you and me.  

~Two truthful souls lie here.~ 

The ending's so near
But still we try - and still we cry on
for little do we know how close it is, 
how far, how near, gone.

Piece By Bloody Piece

Compromising regard to life
thou being my curse
turning my world asunder 
in your regard I was lesser 
a presence in whispers



You the filch-er stole self 
the cadence of speech
seem as missives
reaching a velvet caress
raising expectation
your delusion no mistruth
nectarous phrase
dripping love
suddenly discord pricks
a deceived psyche


Thou eyes serpentine 
gave thee away 
glinting ego 
treachery unveiled
A crescent moon
bandits signal light 
cloaking and revealing
razor sharp talons 
slicing my psyche
demon shadow 
concealing
your gleefulness
at arranging its pieces 
a grotesque disarray
your magnum opus
the crumbling effigy of my entity
plundered dreams shattered 
to nothingness


Still
holding portions of self
supplanting thee 
is no question
as time rules
so 
my being follows you
Piece by bloody piece …

Premium Member A Puff

Clouds floating by in azure skies
pushed here and there by fickle breezes
playing tag and forming magical shapes
as they dance in harmony across the skies

Little puffs of white giving shelter
from the blazing sun and uniting into
towering pillions that appear to prop up
great mansions and glittering silvery castles

Streaked with enchanting reds, yellows and oranges 
with a little mauve tinge that soon purples
as dusk slowly starts to fall cloaking them
then behold the starry night as day now ends 

Now the clouds darken seemingly ominous
as they obscure the moon from earthly sight
with a back drop of glittering stars blanketing the skies
at last the moon soars into view and peace returns once more
