THE CHRONOPHAGE

THE CHRONOPHAGE

Ghostly levitating on the Cambridge street since 2008, 
the Corpus Clock reveals the ugly-beauty of time. 
A gleaming gold-plated clock facade attracts you,
the malicious monster moving mechanically
repulses you. It controls the whole clock, 
creating a constant grinding noise. 
The hour is tolled by the sound 
of a chain clanking into
a coffin hidden in 
the back of the 
clock.

Once every five moments, the clock face tells the time correctly.
The chronology of chronometry is cast aside allegorically for a
second or two. The pendulum pulses purposefully making 
the display lights freeze, fall behind and then fire ahead. 
Thousands of tourists take photographs of the artwork.
While students and residents rush by the window, it’s 
merciless message ringing upon death minds. 
If you stop and stare for it long enough, 
you see your warped reflection. 
Am I using time wisely or not?

Much like the carvings written upon an ancient gravestone, 
below states ‘mundus transit et concupiscentia eius’.
The Chronophage knows you have read this 
inscription. It’s clawed clockwork teeth tells 
you the ticking truth; “Time is not on your 
side. I’ll eat up every minute of your life
and as soon as one has gone, I’ll be 
salivating for the next.”
Time is ticking…

Premium Member - the Naked Truth -

We are all brothers and sisters born without hate 
Naked we were born to earth with purity and innocence as Lily 

Love has no barriers beyond our earthly grasp 
Right actions coming from the right setting, it starts from within 

Sometimes we feel we are living inside a bubble 
To live a good life, we must think, speak and act correctly 

Destiny paints our divine promise colors a rainbow 
Everything's really just small adjustments in your life 

The search for the true love with joy and confidence in this world 
Let your light shine bright, love inside the heart last forever 

Of life our guiding angels a choir heavenly glamor 
Angels over flowing universe with its clean and deep strength

Premium Member A Visit With My God

I took a moment visit my God today…
I don’t usually do this…but I got down on my knees to pray.

I wanted to ask him…or her…
(I use both, I believe, correctly
because in all my visits with my God…
he or she has never answered me directly).

At any rate, I had things I wanted…things I’d like to see..
wishes I thought important…
I hoped my God would grant for me.

As I was about to open my mouth…
about to give my God my speech
my mind was filled with memories 
of the students I used to teach.

There before me...swimming in my mind, 
my students were everywhere..
Autistic students, blind ones, ones with seizures…
and students in wheel chairs.

And swimming right behind my students…
this was really quite a feat
were children and people I did not know…
who had no homes, or food to eat.

I saw many people in pain, crying,
I know not the reasons why
but they seem to have more troubles than me 
as I watched them floating by.

Suddenly my mind went blank 
and I forgot what I had started praying for
as the troubles that I thought I had…
didn’t seem as troublesome anymore.

And so still on my knees with my head bowed 
as I visited my God today
it was for all these other people 
that I began to pray.

And I hope my God is happy 
as my prayers up to her or him soar…
smiling and proudly nodding his or her approval…
knowing that’s what prayers are for?

Premium Member Cuddles

“Cuddles” is what I affectionately call her
This sweet little darling of mine
No other word can describe this beauty
She's a lovely, she's sweet, she's divine

She's here to grant me my every wish
Never asking for anything back
My life, my soul, my reason for living
Peace and contentment I don't lack

Betcha can't guess who this is about
A doggie or a kitten or a bunny
Guess correctly and you'll win the prize
Three kisses from me on next Sunday

“Cuddles” is an absolute real charmer
On this soul she doth lovingly dote
Guys lounging round in their Jockey shorts
Know it's “Cuddles” my TV remote!

Premium Member Behind dark clouds

A-bad-don speaks for itself clearly 
the war master of chaos to come hides secrets 
An inhuman monster created by hate underneath 
formed in the bottomless pit of envy 
bathed in bitterness his name is a tenfold curse spoiled 
laid bare under thousands of years of terror and anguish exposed his venom kind 

Destroyer of the world locked in a dark abyss
suffering jealousy under a legion 
of depraved demons and fallen angels 
mixed with faceless unforgiving pride 
blind beggars of the dark side 
corrupting flesh to sin 

They inhabit the lies told sweet talking arrogance 
turning away from truth slowly twisting rights to ignorance 
calling up the deceiver of forked tongues shame exists
spitting within disrespectful manners heartless 

Disoriented babble rattles to the core condemning faith 
spoiled crock tears swearing falsity to be true love's existence  
black magic spawns inside poisons brew 

From the realm of the dead rotten seed 
you hail damned corrupt thief of wasted time 
destruction has no shield in your wake to yield 
Burning hell's fury is putting good to the sword as bad 
loving kindness is declared grave manners against evil doers 
when the eyes of man can never be satisfied or pleased 
correctly they turn around in an underground abode 
filled with lost souls that reeks havoc needing

A Defensive Action

How fortunate that I, correctly versed,
knew hand-grenades are passive. At their worst,
they maim and kill. But this is interspersed
with usefulness: defenders have no thirst
for carnage. Since the enemy had first
used violence, they had to be dispersed.
It fell to me. How often I’d rehearsed
in nightmares what came next, how often nursed
this killer in my hands. Like Damien Hirst,
I knew that I was certain to be cursed
by those who only see a shark immersed
in urine, not a work of art. Lips pursed,
I threw my bomb, and squatted, for I durst
not look upon the mayhem, when it burst.

Premium Member To Mom On Your Heavenly Anniversary

Today is your Anniversary of 38 years in God's
place.  It is interesting how the years flew by.
I hope I have accomplished what you wanted for me.
I am a poetess and author now.  Although I have not
sold a book yet. I have been thinking about you over the
past few decades.  And I wonder what you think.

I need a sign.

You probably know why I have not been
able to visit your gravesite.  And put my favorite rose
there.  I have missed our talks.  So, I write what's in
my heart.  I'm almost 75 now about the time you left me.
And yet, it feels like yesterday.

You weren't here when I married.  But I'm sure
you two are together waiting for me.  I miss the love
we had and I know its value.  I only want to know
one thing, do I continue on this path of writing?
or is there something else I should be doing?

I need a sign.

It doesn't feel like you're gone, but we can't
physically meet.  However, I feel your presents
or is it, my husband?

I write asking what is my gift?  If I am using it
correctly? So, I end with your approval and His.
What I must do?  In spite of everything I love you, Mom.

I need a sign.

Premium Member November People

There are lots of people with birthdays in November.
The amount of them is quite a large sum.
In this big club, I happen to be a member.

My flower of the month is a chrysanthemum.
That word is a good stumper in a spelling bee.
Correctly spelled, nobody calls you “dumb”.

In November, there are not many flowers to see.
It is not a month with botanical pizzazz.
That’s when we see leaves falling from the tree.

My birthstone is the semiprecious topaz.
As far as jewels go, it isn’t worth much.
I’m really not into that gemology jazz.

We November people come through in the clutch.
In this great big world, we are the ones to know.
