Newtonian Remnants of The Mind

Words Not For The Faint Of Heart

Commemoration for those gone before 
Affectation of all you continue to adore 
Altercation at the start of a burgeoning world war 
Annihilation of the injured, innocent and poor 

Commensurate collusion of the parliamentary debate 
Irreverent confusion at the celebration of the state 
Degenerate delusion as they refuse to integrate 
Protectorate protrusion while the masses consecrate 

Augmentation of the algorithm just to watch you bleeding concentration 
Abdication of the firm decision to be needing an invitation 
Applications that are stern in their derision of the cheapest imitation
Admiration of the vision that requires an invocation 

Cosmological wonder at the formation of a star 
Chronological plans asunder as the organisation takes things too far 
Pedagogical pathways go under like the motorisation of the car 
Methodological melodies make thunder as the applause acknowledges every bar 

Broken by the aftermath of all this rhythmical thinking 
Woken by a polymath of history missed while I was blinking 
Spoken words meets sociopaths inside a ship that’s sinking
Token forms of telepathic silence that sees me winking 

Altercations of a race in danger from dawn to dusk to midnight fire 
Annexation of a border to cross when life inside becomes too dire
Amputation of a limb that has begun to gangrene and expire 
Affectation that is over the top as my neurons need to rewired

Premium Member Bougainvillea

It glanced seductively at Louis with intricate petals and thorns from the roadside

A weedy hawker peddled the evergreen climber to make meagre ends meet

Measuring up philanthropy and potential for growth Louis dug down in his pockets

Found a new home for the tree as he sought wild abundance and passionate care

Knew nothing about inflorescence and internodes but was enchanted by beauty


Antoinette his young lover and soulmate encouraged the deal knew about botany

While he marvelled at her gait and anatomy long enough to notice the seeds

Visions of swell budding nature embraced and caressed copious plenteous bounty

Lush pink flowers like the innocent blush on faces after commensurate move sent

Delightful shivers down his loins as he smelt musk though the plant has no scent


A love affair uncontrollable emotions gentle pricks of the thorn and delight

Five sepals and they named them faith kindness compassion exultation and hope

Like the name giving explorer Louis circumnavigated earth moon and sunshine

Kept the most wonderful travels from her navel to wild luscious heavenly harbour 

Flowerets of communion branches of intricate journeys and spread of infinite joy


They sailed the oceans together with no compass no chart only light from inside

Discovered all glorious reds orange chakras purple indigo and innocent white

Made love in radiant glows of their garden in vibrant evocative synesthetic flow

The Universe applauded chanted approval as they danced naked under awesome

Canopies dawning awnings and became the hippies they had always wanted to be

No acknowledgement could be 
commensurate nar e'er 
equivalent to countless years (scores of orbitz  
of unexplored wonder) – left...
(with millstones around neck)

to atrophy on severe truncated 
limb mitts, now cause
for silent lachrymose as this 
brother doth brook a wake

his pained self actualization 
(particularly predicated on
decade number six 
unavoidably approaching) uptake

analogous to 2001 A Space Odyssey, 
when closing scene
of the film - image of embryonic 
"Starchild" left a slake

king unshakable reverberation 
Also Sprach Zarathustra
echoing in me noggin since 
opening soundtrack did quake

of a much younger self, when seeing 
the movie did overtake
puzzlement until I read the book 
"aha" awareness did make

that minor mystery resolved, and 
now childhood's end keepsake
recalled as the time thy vulnerable 
psychological state did intake

pelting asteroid storm cratering a boy 
who shied away, to forsake
growing up, and now haunted (akin 
to ghost of Marley) not "FAKE"

shackled to an un freed spirit, that 
got squelched as if a sudden brake
got jammed propelling this then puny 
body electric...now doth ache.

Premium Member Dear God, I Love You So

My GOD, YOU are my life
my existence revolves around YOU
being my breath’s source
the verity-cause of my heart beat…
Here am I humbly exalting YOU with love’s propelling might:
declaring, “Dear GOD, I love YOU so”.

As my life
YOU are my survival’s Bread
granting contentment bliss
beyond sufficiency’s exuberance…
Hear my spirit of fervent devotion YOU deserve:
whispering, “Dear GOD, I love YOU so”.

My life 
bearing my soul’s Light of illumining truth radiance
YOU shield me from grievous engulfment 
of ignorance-obscurity…
I come to YOU with divine affection, moved by YOUR sublime love:
affirming, “Dear GOD, I love YOU so”.

Life of my essence
YOU are the great Saviour
author of my  redemption eternal
freeing me from hell’s wrath forever…
To YOU do I yield my loving esteem that can’t commensurate YOUR sacrifice:
proclaiming, “Dear GOD, I love YOU so.”

Enabling my life
YOU are the good Shepherd 
offering to me YOUR grace
packed with pardon toward gratitude…
Indeed, loving YOU along faith that pleases YOU is my best response:
asserting, “Dear GOD, I love YOU so”.

With YOU, my life
fulfillment wraps me
around YOUR compassion wholeness…
Since YOU first loved me…
I’m privileged to love and serve YOU, my LORD GOD, my LIFE:*
testifying, “Dear GOD, I love YOU so”.

*John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

Days Don'T Last, Time Does...

It's the end of my purposeful day,
a prostate being in prayer
with much sincere accord,
and my gratitude is not hurried away;
it is persistent in its allegory
already conceded...


Days don't last, time does
and the thought of eternity causes a frightening rush,
not to comprehend its depth
too concise not to discern it,
making many so compulsive to act in ignorance;
time was created to confer, not to condemn a wish...  


Making a comparison between days
and time is truly necessary,
because they aren't commensurate, 
they only obey a command;  and we humans
act in deceit and don't commiserate,
allowing vanity to exude inclemency...   
 

Frivolous with a frowzy attitude,
we put on a frippery image
to separate need from want,
to notice the differences and deny fortitude;
and shouldn't harmony and fairness begin with grace,
or it is another informal demeanor we impart?


Days don't last, time does...
and can a mortal, like me, pretend to be God
and defy death with his ostentatious ego and live?
Every human must die and be buried with others!
Are you any superior or have a greater knowledge,
to be excluded from a fate that is indomitable and savage?

Manual On Parenting

Give a child life at birth
Make it a C section or natural
Feed them warm mammary milk
Give them two parents when possible
Cloth them in cotton and wool
Give them a bath because children stink
Teach them to think and about soap and water
Take them to the doctors when they are ill
Take children on long walks
Speak gently when you talk
Read two books to them at bedtime
Pray and eat every meal together
Cultivate good behavior by example
Instruct them to work hard and play harder
Give them candy after age thirty two
Answer all their questions with truth
Answer sex questions commensurate with their age
Give books filled with knowledge as gifts 
Educate them first at home
Teach them fishing, sports and especially golf 
Teach children about love 
Drop them off at school and a place of worship
Assign two body guards at all times
Drop them but never on their heads
Slap them if they get fresh
Slap them twice if liberals are present
Send children to self defense classes
Kiss them on the forehead and cheek
Say I love you one hundred times a week
Buy them a toy car or real one if you have the money
Leave them to their own devices when they turn ninety
Conjure up hundreds of questions (Children are smarter than you think)
 Advise them to live their own lives
Remind them they only live twice
(God will understand your answers)
Remind them frequently to sing and dance
Remind them to take a bath


*The road to success is always under construction.
Avoid destruction.  Children need structure and instruction.  Always love them.
Children are like plants. Give them plenty of water.  Leave them alone to grow in the light.

Premium Member Injury

My face tells me nothing. Not nothing but nothing useful,
the complications of ageing humorously but not how to avoid
injury.

Permanent injury is a now popular cliché. At this age any injury
could result in pneumonia, pain in bitterness for your peers,
your jury.

What a headache I have! And never forget injury provokes
at best only pity. Friends are merely friendly, they belong to the
majority.

They forget your name and so should you, who are you? Even you
don't know for sure. In relation to community, no change was noted in
      the
registry.

Still, man's mercy, economy's ecology, there's some joy in being small,
some joy in staying strong, and keeping death before you without
perjury.

Unsafe to run the wind. A big stick might hit your head. Then
the hip and heart and head will hurt, all three. Un-
fortunately.

I like a strong wind. Dangerous to go out in. As a fire or flood.
I like the way we are at risk, not a risk-averse weasel. A carnivore,
very hungry.

Pay money, take chances. Yo's an elegant contraction of you.
Cool. Message from street to board: mongrels rule. Democracy or
tyranny.

Scared to die? Why? Take appropriate measures, descend through
meditation. Be empty, rest. And to your friends and sons be as
gravity.

Tired of death. It's what it is. Let's play sports, have sex, kayak
to the huckleberries, fish for marvelous fish, live a wonderful life, give
generously.

Done blowing, O wild wind? Not yet? So be it. I lay my head
in your felt hands. The motion of the branches, evolutionary branches,
      are my
guarantee.

That's all folks, 7:30. The sky is clear, the crows are out. The clouds
are with my mood commensurate. I should shout, having lived
prodigiously.

A Contemplative Sojourn Through the Breeze

A Contemplative Sojourn Through The Breeze

The continuity of perspective required for accurate conclusions 
The ingenuity of the reflective inspired by immaculate infusions 
The co-morbidity of defective desires for considerate inclusions 
The plain fluidity of the introspective fires of commensurate confusion

Why does the momentary delight fade with contemplation ?
How do we constantly engage to fight instead of inspire by elevation?
Why does she remain so utterly contrite when faced with adulation?
Who do they call upon during the night for their sacred consummation?

Awash with notions of consideration and correction 
The lost devotions of invocations and invention 
The frost that’s frozen upon the intonations of his intentions
The cost of the broken connotations of what it means to defy convention 

To revoke what has been given so freely and without shame
To envoke the art of living when one is refusing to play the game 
The bespoke art of precision as they are refuting the burden of blame

Renegade perspectives of innovation and pure style 
A tyrrade of correctives and incantations that beguile 
To invade the environmental incentives of the plantations on the River Nile 
As they pervade the vast directives  of the ramifications of their denial 

Convoluted insinuations of thought that permeate time 
Polluted imitations that have been bought by the unrefined
Disputed limitations of a population in decline 
Refuted deliberations on the observations of these signs

La Evasion De La Oiseau Bleu

"L'évasion L'oiseau Blue" 

An exodus of dreams
like a flock of beating wings
melt upwards into endless sky
there the unreachable, 

the bluest blue 
of dreams so high

fleeting upwards ever upwards
the call below pulls in its nets
the fleeing mind and breath 
washes back in, listen -

the ceaseless 
cajoling sigh,

the turquoise summoning, 
as above so below
the firmament reflection 
of clouds watched magnetised

gliding memories turn swift, 
the floating shifting messages
blue birds sing sweetly 
through higher passages

to Sun and Moon 
kingdom's eclipsing

the path mapped 
like a well-planned escape
a premeditated
back-up plan

fate taken up 
like destiny, released
by the hungry cries 
of haunting channels 

possessed, the return, 
replete for shrives 
upon command 
of the commensurate, 

The Beloved
Ocean tide
whispering secrets
like to a homesick bride

consuming
life and love 
the hungry cries
of haunting channels 

la evasion de la oiseau bleu
possessed, the return
replete 
for shrives

(LadyLabyrinth / 2023)










L'oiseau bleu 
The lake lay blue below the hill.
O'er it, as I looked, there flew
Across the waters, cold and still,
A bird whose wings were palest blue.

The sky above was blue at last,
The sky beneath me blue in blue.
A moment, ere the bird had passed,
It caught his image as he flew.
(Mary Elizabeth Coleridge)
