Denouement

The plot thickens broadens in plastered confused juxtapositions
over time there and then weaves tapestries lost unfound caught

Viscous tears dried out shed rivers searching oases oceans of love
squeeze suffering hatred solid misconceptions scripted resolve 

Crocheted dreams unsnarled in disguise colour rainbows stain-bows
stain blows and arrows offer inkblots from coiled council reconcile 

Waters cascades cataclysmic beginnings alleviate alluvion’s weight
skirmish tease entice droplets of truths splashing change alteration

Naïve native losses childish unadulterated tangential torrents unfold
allude inundate delude adulthoods’ illusions commence from afresh

Under the bridges of ricocheted echoes trickle drops from Styx to
Ganges feed and contend with the seagulls and vultures of life

The story line concocts and conceives tell retells and remembers
the past as it blends narrates a misty final initiation’s webbed spray

Resolute resolution wets the gills washes clouds spins them around
until springs guzzle project thoughtful narration to entangle once more

Denouement Renewal De-new-ment confer contain depositions repositioned
as some tangling wisdom posits one swims in the same ocean never again

What If It Wasn’t A Dream

People want a life
 with imagery similar
  to that of their dreams.

They wish to replace
 the everyday, mundane grind
  with nocturnal views.

But how do you transfer
 all of what slumber concocts
  over to your waking hours?

The answer is easy
 but hard to initiate -
  Just get out of bed.

This stops the dreaming
 and starts the changes needed
  so you’ll feel alive.

Opening your eyes
 let’s you see the wonderment
  that’s always been there.

That which can be dreamt
 pales in comparison
  to that which can be achieved.

Life has vibrancy,
 beyond imagination,
  if you go live it.

Family Is

A New Poem:
Family Is:
The first thing that makes sense...
It blossoms at every direction it grows...
The flourishing nature of family
Is beauty-impersonified....
Sparks fly when the core tenets
Of family is mixed with a stint of love... 
The rich brew that family concocts
Is savoured by invigorating inducive
Recipes like patience, parental care and love
And wholistic mentorship.
Family is...
Humanity, in this complex world...
Courage, manifested through a  mother and father's
Loving guidance...
Unity, imminent in the evergreen  tenet of togetherness....
And above all, family is...
Love; for all the age-old tales of sacrifice
Altruism, and Strength  drawn  From the influence of
Love.
For these and many more: 
Family is everything lovable

Moderacy

An arbitrary effigy 

Enacts its own soliloquy;

Concocts a taste sensation 

Fit to consternate a nation.

What's an ethical conundrum?

Sinful, existential ho-hum!

Guaranteed to whiten whiter

Never lit one cross on fire...

Yet the sugar pills create

A side effect that won't abate -

You're free to spend more time prostrate 

Than one can ever stay awake.

Now your own somnolent scream

Conducts a constant marching theme;

Reverberates the eight of Rome

As sifting sand toward sunken home...

If as you glance up at the sky

You still sense wonder from on high -

If with every labored breath 

You'll glibly force another step -

Seek some meaning midst these words

Although the cadence is absurd:

Burlesque Bernadette

Flagrant bird Bernadette feathery flair flamboyant
     Towers over average plumage 
     Parades tassle twist pantomime pow wow warbonnet
     Cascade costume illuminating

    
     Cheyenne crowned showgirl, a flurry of torso tumult
     Statuesque neck festers fatalism 
     Stiletto weapon punctuates staid with societal revolt
     Rouses a Lady Marmalade rythm 


     Elusive vermilion mouth majestic Bernadette buxom 
     Slinks sequined by beside suited
     Patrons in shadow of taboo troublesome seduction
     Stubble rub struggle translucent 


    Sashaying aves, aloof eaglet suspended in feminine 
    Bouyant slow swirl drape tailed koi
    Hypnotic bronzed bends transmit treacle pheromone
    Concocts a carbonated cider void

Premium Member Passed The Bell

Nights of flying  dream world,
who might chase a raucous laugh,
or seek indeed  mirthful excitement,
the sort that has embroidered twists,
as is generally perceived by intention,
but epic hurdles formed in still frame, 
city snores past midnight bell clang,
dare one ever risk a robust venture,
should I have said pursuit instead,
sleep is diversion in that steel crib,
that modern crib pillow we fostered,
an idiom that has it’s silken source,
on foot of rainbow studded home run,
as denizens of  driven blissful sprint,
with that palette city life concocts,
waiting to arise from brainwave surge,
but toilers so content at last wonder,
can still find that extra  zestful yen,
nocturnal misnamed down tool free time,
energizing hour filler may arouse,
around the ink drape walkways,
quite surrogate and surreptitious,
character one may mold from time,
spent as a regal  rhombic chaser,
boundary scuppered plot by strolling fleet,
as creatively imagining might edge,
vast supply has penchant without dent,
zeitgeist flower of a fluorescent flag,
warning mask so deft but visible,
canopy laid beauteous  black fringe,
alliance in shade infused etch front,
squeaky noising  trickle eardrum muffin,
hear full dose of ripple muttering,
clued on obscurantist thin,
taut code evasive decipher ask,
float of urban mirror  pool by pattern,
reflection, mirage, cocoon,
after midnight curtain draws,
to protracted claps evinced from,
squinting imp coterie on foot,
ricochet  off Moroccan spice tint,
outside vivid  haunt so frequented,
perchance, perforce, pertaining patois,
little seen scatter mice squeak,
analogy horizontal spurt funk,
if only these dart and dash clan,
midgets metaphorical so jubilant,
in sonic meddle  near edge encounter,
it would be strictly beyond a dazzling cast,
from other daylight theater staunch queue,
when aiming  for parallel experience,
performance nocturne wise deep art,
even rich fantasy has upper boundaries,
some grating gulley flake debris awash

Premium Member My Dreams

Some of them are drifting vapor,
fluid pastel flavoring my tongue.
When awake, they linger like nectar,
or the hidden symbols of Jung.

Others are more like nesting dolls,
hand painted selves inside of selves,
secret centers wrung in reluctant recalls.
Narcotic sleep concocts misshapened shelves.

Still others are Fabergé eggs,
grandiloquent intricacies, ornate and refined,
interior parlors absent of regs. 
Fantastic reservoirs are carefully designed. 

But most of them are made of celluloid,
cinematic  and impossible to avoid.

Premium Member Bewitched Vision

My nights have lately become sultry
as suffocating heat chases sleep away,

I lay wide awake unloved and sweating
beneath the murmurous ceiling fan
hoping for some refreshing relief.

Each eventide I hear her bittersweet song 
drifting from the verdant vale
like seductive perfume on the breeze.

I cannot resist for long.  I must visit every night.
People say there's magic in her.
Rancorous rumors have it that
she seduces with a whimsical smile,
subdues with an enchanting laugh,
soothes with a surrealistic sigh.

Maybe they're right.  I know they’re right.
For I am under her arcane spell.
Late at night I leave my rumpled bed 
and like a somnambulist I tread
through mysterious corridors of my house.

The dazzling moon shines the pathways
that lead down the surreal vale
into the  sonorous cavern where she
concocts her alluring recondite runes.

There I hope to get a glimpse of her
Embrace her gorgeous beauty for untold time
Till inexplicably I find myself alone back on my bed.
Can you blame me if I’m under her spell?

Damn Anticipatory Anxiety Affliction

Damn anticipatory anxiety affliction...
trumps volition (mine) to don employee hat!

Until the grim reaper
whisks yours truly away
common joe just biden his time
chronologically old fogey
(albeit boyish looking goodfella)
at moon shadows he doth bay

meanwhile stricken with
dripping wet sweaty palms,
perhaps attired with
trademark Harris tweed
this August twelfth
two thousand twenty dog day,

viz just the mere thought
to seek part time employment -
cuz I wanna supplement
(social security disability) income
perhaps out of desperation
selling myself short on eBay

unless an anonymous reader
espies adept ace at foreplay
i.e. whereby his linkedin word choice
oft times evokes double entendre
essentially this poetaster
at large concocts gourmet

reasonably rhyming literary cuisine -
thus hip hip hooray
invariably an anonymous
respondent will inveigh
against playful badinage,
and/or perchance some grumpy

humorless cat (woman)
originally whose nine lives spent
housed within San Jose
will take objection with base (sic)
lame ribaldry (mine) laughable
courtesy none other than kkk,

(kooky, klutzy, and kitschy tendency)
who though reformed Caucasian Jew
coon sitter me laughingstock, nevertheless
(modesty notwithstanding)
he brews the best latte
this side of Schwenksville, Pennsylvania,

where whiplashing, madding, and
clamoring crowd fuels melee
along Perkiomen trail
over hills and across Atlantic Ocean
eventually leads to Norway,
which namesake river from “Pakihmomink,”
or “where the cranberries grow.”

Rather than get further
bogged down with inane zeal
I best steer clear of poetic poppycock
courtesy imaginary wheel

thus the following pablum I unveil
nsync with titled malady all to real,
which plight involves hyperhidrosis
quite a debilitating ordeal,

especially when thinking
to pursue gainful employment
emphatically steadfast
and honest think (me) leal
course this humble communicates
 
(hyperbolically) embodiment ideal
if seeking to gain insight how I feel
about myself, a tense body
inept to cartwheel.

Premium Member Waxing of Candlelight

Kate and Bram, so in love or so she thought, but he was after Kate’s rich cousin. Laura, was just as greedy for Bram’s striking good looks. Does lightning strike twice for Bram? Will he find happiness with his fiance’s kin? Kate was prettier, confident, sweet. He moves the candle over the treasure and concocts a vicious plot. Laura was guilty of one thing - she coveted what was not hers. Bram’s sin was greater.

WAXING OF CANDLELIGHT

Longing of candlelight - the shadows slim.
A flicker steps downstairs; She’s trembling down.
Kate’s tapered low-light tears, without a hymn.
Green spirit in her phosphorescent gown.*

She remembers Bram’s face, his smile. The bleed
of blush no longer stings - a swan-like snow
running from head to toe; done is the deed.
The late night storm will search - its fury grow.

The strike of lightning hate will court her beau.
He tripped a switch - she fell headlong for him.
The candle burns - the fire’s leaping stairs. Sow
And reap - the pyre-steeple of life and limb.

The separation - vinegar and oil.
Reunited, Kate shrieks - Bram’s on slow boil.
