Premium Member Debris Of Decrepit Heart


“The fervent garden grieves as the frail flowers called love 
enwrap the shards of broken heart” – Quote by poet 


The rhapsody of rainbow morphs into morose mélange,
bleeding colors bleached from the twilight zone clouds 
that rainstorm daubs as blemish on dilapidated essence   
when the shades of grey paint the frayed linen of love.

The requiem of roses resonates in melancholic medley,
the petals pine for dripping tear drops of mourning dew, 
desiccating in somber sunshine in the deserted mind,
while the fallen flowers make frail bouquet of passion. 

Cacophony encapsulated in the cauldron of mute melody, 
chaotic symphony dismantles on the discord waves of desire.
Strained smiles sneer the scarred scenario of the senile life,
music turns to convoluted noise echoed by the battered soul.

As you drift away blowing a devastating storm of apathy, 
my fervor is fragmented to lie in the debris of ecstasy.
The lattice of life seen through the languid cynic lens
magnifies into the crooked contortion of decrepit heart.


Premium Member Autumn

Autumn unreeled
Forests shaken hollow
               settling
               like shipwrecked beauty
Tree masts of moss
Colourful mobs of decay
                 unspooling
Last strands of conceit
Rag tag laurels
        capsized
        casual drift of sacrifice

Diced leaves of October,
         change
         that drains potency
Resplendent wreckage
An unraveling season
                    faint
                    in slim, silvered light
Outcomes unavoidable
       with fertility plundered

Gold leaf patches 
                 fallen
        treasures washed overboard
        a trail of flotsam 
        in the lost ego of summer

 Ragged contortion
                in sea-water cold
                in a quiet that marks 
                                         transition

I AM as I AM, free & formless in a domain timeless
In, as & one with & within the sea of Oneness
Dissolved and yet in as ordained, distinct 
Pure love awareness in a boundaryless precinct

In, within and in yet as by Oneness ordained 
The beingness of love seeking outpouring, now contained
Choicelessly choosing to view Its reflection
In the mirror of duality without any distortion 

As so chosen, so began, love benign-ability 
Polarity in singularity
Creating sensory movement in duality
Spherical vision confined to timeline linearity 

The love absolute 
Choicelessly resolute
Now within a living body of perfection 
Matter manifest as divine vibration

The pure love outpouring
Within body of lower vibration anchoring 
Prismatic refraction of ephemerality bemusing
Anchors of grossness to the vehicle of form alluring

Love then, looking at its reflection 
Within in-form consciousness, seeing a contortion
Observes that the transient life of the vehicle of imagination 
Within duality, is oblivious of its own divinic origin

Linear time then slowly turns
Hypnotically, inexorably churns
The wheel of illusion
Trapping consciousness in mayic delusion

Love being love, yet outpours its nectar
Dispersing magnetically across all vectors
But duality being the zone so choicelessly chosen
The same free will of consciousness keeps its ascension frozen

Yet love being one and consciousness being porous
In timeless time nodes within form, all being love, sing in chorus 
Engage in a rhythmic dance synchronous in timeless being-ness
As of resonation to the vibration of the That Oneness 

In, within, in-form & formless stillness

Grandad what did you want to be when you were my age


he paused
pushing himself on the soft leather
shaped by his years
-Happy
his eyes beaming
below the arced trellises of his greyed out eyebrows

Dion rested at his grandfathers feet
His face in a contortion of bewilderment

-No, I mean as a job

The old man grasped a freshly iced can of
some sugar filled gloop
and poured it between them both

He gave a chuckle
disguising it as a cough
as the child held the glasses together to better measure the gloop
before placing one in his grandfathers hand

The giant princes and 7 people doesn’t have the same ring

-Okay what about Grumpy
pulling a fake gurn to his face
the tickle of his beard causing him to sneeze to easily

Dion yawned his grandfather wiping the sleep peadrops from his eye

Bashfully I must leave
but my grate NESS
Is documented

Premium Member The Mirror of My Life

I have mirrored the whole of my life 
On this mercurial surface
I have painted myself on this glossy canvas
My pen has bled words in red
You can look straight into me 
As you see my reflection on a mirror
I have sketched me as I am 
Honest and truthful, 
Sans distortion or contortion

I don’t want to be a sham
Here have I laid bare my life
Fraught with aches, dotted with smiles
My longings and my heart aches
My expectations, my disappointments
My triumphs, my defeats
My search through every nook n’ cranny for success
My plunge into the nadir of despair on defeat
My moments of escalating joy
My dark hours of crippling distress

Everything I wanted to be
Everything I failed to be
Please have a peek into my porous heart
Assess this candid chronicle of my life
And tell me if my soul is black or white

Sometimes I feel I am a life boat without oars
Floating aimless hither and tither
But I see light houses of joy in between
To pilot my way over shoals and breakers!

Galvanised Atmospheric Innovations

Galvanised Atmospheric Innovation 



Urban atmospheric galvanised creatures 

Turbans that are stratospheric turning into teachers

Burdens that are esoteric and one of my personality features 

Certainty that is generic as you’re hiding from the preacher



Stacks of written words surrounding me like an army of white confessions 

Hacks that have been heard among pleas reaching for heaven

The exact and the absurd combine to form an episode of regression 

Detract from the conserved and you’ll find a place in the recession



Renegade observers of the globalised extortion 

Serenade reserves of the nobalised contortions 

Parade of preservers combine to culminate a fortune 

Charade of community creates a new social contortion 



Wondering through terrain reserved for someone more emotionally robust 

Pondering on ethics, integrity, morals, hope and trust 

Sundering onward without knowing that your dependent on the physical laws of thrust 

Plundering the earth with greed, deception, fame and lust 



Multi dimensional landscapes that defy 6D comprehension 

Conventional borders that correlate around the suppressed retention 

Intentional reasons to confiscate the technology from the children 

Presentational permeation that deny the attempts at prevention 



Recollection brings a firm debate of colourised convention 

Predilection for one to consummate the end of their detention

Introspection sometimes obfuscates the clarity of invention 

While circumspection can just eviscerate the purity of one’s intentions



The End
Form: Rhyme

Self-Portrait as Viburnum

White rope of sunlight
Tethered through my chest
Shot clean through to my spine.
Gordion knotted to my backbone.
I can feel the knuckles of it
Between my shoulder blades.
Pinching rope with a yawn.
No contortion reaches the lonely
Mark, the treasure on a map.
I have never begged for the sword,
I never imagined needing it.
My wrists are too weak,
Sinew is salt, muscle manicled.
Sometimes, as if in a dream
The rope slackens as sunlight
Slips beneath the sleep crusted
eyelid of dusk. Dust on the 
windowsill dances—-Celebrating.
Is it for me? A reverie? Or 
The potential, praise for one more day
Unswept, unkempt, a knot of effort
Unmassaged can swell to blackness.
