Unfoldings

for Vicki

Time unfolds ...
Your lips were roses.
... petals open, shyly clustering ...
I had dreams
of other seasons.
... ten thousand colors quiver, blossoming.

Night and day ...
Dreams burned within me.
... flowers part themselves, and then they close ...
You were lovely;
I was lonely.
... a virgin yields herself, but no one knows.

Now time goes on ...
I have not seen you.
... within ringed whorls, secrets are exchanged ...
A fire rages;
no one sees it.
... a blossom spreads its flutes to catch the rain.

Seasons flow ...
A dream is dying.
... within parched clusters, life is taking form ...
You were honest;
I was angry.
... petals fling themselves before the storm.

Time is slowing ...
I am older.
... blossoms wither, closing one last time ...
I'd love to see you
and to touch you.
... a flower crumbles, crinkling, worn and dry.

Time contracts ...
I cannot touch you.
... a solitary flower cries for warmth ...
Life goes on as
dreams lose meaning.
... the seeds are scattered, lost within a storm.

flames

flames into flames
      flesh sizzling flesh
           cores consuming cores
pips crinkling into load-shedding 
      emotions into grains of salt
          light across spacetime
             heat melting  
h e a t 
       street strength simmering 
            sweating scalding 
sensation has no 
crystal drops 
     rooibos tea faraway 
          nothing to drink except 
            our own fluid feuding 
hot waves raging roaring
     consummating
         burning consumables
dissipating veins with 
                   our own veins
burnishing flesh...black dust
  past  
        present  
                      f u t u r e  
waves upon waves of
      electric light electronic wires
        our Light liquidates
         iron steel 
from infinity 
rumbling inferno
 
black charcoal transmutes
           into blackberries  
to suck
like nipples nurturing 
eradicating fleeing 
                              fumbles 
fleecing fear fast
red organs rise
            in spirals of voiceless 
words fathoming 
wrath is 
               over
or perhaps to come

 last few steps of
          licking flames orange purple 

all is feedback 
         flammable 
surrounded by raven rain
       red reducing 
                            red oil
blood blessing blood
in a BloodMoon of vanities 
smelling of 
               vanilla and poppies 
waving in war winds
                containing OverSouls
overall is overall 
     forms 
fathering 
     dripping salt 
in an unsung faith 

unknown spaces seen as Beloved

new ting


A prince becomes a king
as his mother heard her final ting
His brother part of a ring
A.i begins to sign
Here’s the thing
In the din
that plays out all my sin
with parties withe in
credibly hukled(that A.I again)
A dent that should be present
A dick who likes his taters to much
Everyone is dying
but no one seems to not ice
Ice Baby
hit me anytime
Late to every test
Never gave my best
Watch you snuggling down
Like birds in their
Nestle your face in my

Breath not breathe
If you are impotent
Who would de-seed

Bing Google Instant grams
the hand written shaking Bat man words

Is fling just a through desguise

If a a maze is better than good


Zing like thing crinkling
Fantastically floored

Break ing ever ing
Ting
Moment
Light
Bulge like Kal
In Marvelous movie
Did you
C wot I did
The heir was there with his pet hare
Hair
So you agree
This is definitely…..

Premium Member Have you ever wondered what poets hide in their minds

Have you ever wondered what poets hide in their minds,
where universes of words and unspoken dreams lie?
Look closely, but carefully, lest you become the beast
that slowly, slowly splits their skull of fallen stars.
Poets are not made of salt, but of the dust of fallen stars,
easy to break, impossible to fully decipher,
and now, open their minds and you will see it's not neurons,
but crimson ink that pulses, not blood, but something more grave.
Does it unsettle you? It should frighten you, but you haven't seen everything yet,
look closer, the ink takes shape, thin and hollow,
yet it manages to awaken your own dormant neurons,
now put down the scissors, take this rusty blade, I'm not mad.
Cut slowly on the left side, listen to the crinkling of the skin,
fragile like paper, yet I still hand you a blade, you wonder why?
Because the cut must be perfect, so you can see their heart,
be gentle, remove it carefully without damaging the surrounding tissues.
You stop, you look at the veins, some gray, swirling like nebulae,
others transparent, drawn with a white crayon on the dark sky,
but the heart, do you see how it glows with a rhythm that sings a melody,
not of life, but of something lost in the mists of time and desires.
And the mist that rises is not just steam, but oxygen turned to vapor,
pouring from this fragile organ, to feel less,
to hurt less, so much sorrow crushed into such a small space.
Do you want to feel the warmth? Then touch it, but ah, it's cold as ice.
Don't worry, they are still alive, just don't ask where their soul is,
you will never find it, for we are poets,
keepers of silences and lost dreams,
in a world that rarely understands what we truly hide.

Premium Member Her Hands


In her eighties, she still groomed – clipping nails
Her hands, soft and warm to the touch, tender as the rose
Petals weeping as they melt the summer dew who trails
Along the glistening lights, softly playing as grace flows

In her final years, she still loved – heartfelt and true
Her eyes glittering with azure lights, healing hearts, twinkling
With such misty beauty, so alive – soft and clear blue
Stirring the warmth in her soul, skin old and crinkling

In her life, she still believed – in giving even when she grieved
Her days were filled with precious dreams, uplifting others
Ripping through the darkest storms with a tenderness who relieved
Restoring feelings, lives, impressing spirits, the best of mothers

In her smile, she told of a peace – joy so amazing
Her kindness cured so many ills, blessing others with love
Love so pure, so gentle and giving – always praising
Pouring out faith in prayers sent to God above

In her eighties, she still glowed like a heart who knows
Beyond the trees, beyond the hills, lives a spirit so free
Because He sent His Son to this earth, and the love flows
Blessing each tear, each moment, each breathe – He is the key…

In her I can see the most precious parts of grace
The beautiful that is living in the story of love’s praise
The wonder of a life healed by God’s Son’s embrace,
The music that softly plays as that old hope will quietly amaze!

Premium Member Days OF Arbor

Another spring 
Counting rings
No longer dark 
Dog days wait, for their bark
Signaling life has been in bloom  
And soon 
A beautiful reality will arrive 
You do not really die 
Glorious sunshine 
Photosynthesis dines 
Fed well 
From nature's magic spell 
Can't you tell?
Arbor figure matures 
Always sure 
About wilderness’ door 
No one ignores 
Relaxed, whistling tunes 
Branches dance and swoon 
Turning everything green 
Shade is an escape dream 
Then things turn 
Brown and burn 
Chilling breeze sighs 
Giving a ride 
To the foliage who occupy 
Twigs ready to say goodbye 


Fall scheduled to begin 
Giving the end 
A win 
Low temperatures chattering bite 
Haunting the cool night 
Crumbled leafs descend 
Crinkling no bend 
Completing their beauty rein 
Realizing it's just a plants game 
Meeting with the rake 
Realizing the bag is ready to take 
Them to the disposable bin 
No need to call a next of kin 
Since they will be shred
Rip and dead 
Until spring 
And another ring 
Appears 
Exclaiming the tree is here 
Giving a reason 
To celebrate each season 
Letting the seeds 
Do their deed 
And grow more trees

Premium Member Autumn Royal

I stroll through autumn, by a pumpkin patch
While sun shines on saffron leaves like fire
I look at the amber field and thoughts hatch
The warmth of hot apple cider desire
Apple pie with cinnamon, does transpire
In my mind, when cool air touches me
As my heart leaps in joy with what I see

All shades of ginger found in leaves falling
Mixed with bright crimson, shining on the ground
I can hear the distant birds are calling
Beneath my footsteps, a light crinkling sound
I feel what I have lost, I have now found
As with the seasons, changing new allure
Snow falls upon the umber leaves, so pure

Premium Member The Part of Dying That Most Hurts

In her cold, snowy breasts
They lay me down to rest
The pattering of earth
The gravel and the dirt
It doesn't hurt

I don't even feel it;
I hear it as it hits
The top of the casket
I hear my darlings crying
And throwing tearful fits
By far, the worst part of dying:
The grieving I feel
From family and friends
If only they knew,
Though death is real,
Life never ends
And we’re always with you
Even if you’re too sad to see
The wilted rose beside you
Is me

The clouds and falling snow
Is a me, you’ll come to know
When you look out the window
And trace the blowing leaves
And imagine their dry crinkling
And somber familiarity we’d share
Both loving the crisp winter air
How everything seems golden
Yet bare

Your heart sees me
Sees me standing there
Next to the old tree
As a cat’s glare gathers in the gloom
Recollecting me

My Release

it felt as if the air was too thin to breathe
the ceiling and walls moving separately from each other.
the blood rushing in my veins reached a decibel louder than a thousand engines
my skin a cursed mix of fire and ice 
every noise, thought, emotion, and urge magnified tenfold
the sound of the package crinkling
the needle hitting the bottle and the pulling of the liquid
my watery sweet escape. 
the sharp piercing of needle hitting skin,
the dull ache, and burning sensation,
then silence. 
no more pain, no more worry, 
no more hoping for death to reach out and take you to a world far far away.
the silence is blissful.
the numbness is heaven-sent.
for a few hours, the world falls away and I don't have to remember who I am
or what led me to this point. 
once the high wears away, reality crashes back in with a deafening quake.
I guess I need a higher dose next time...
