Premium Member Resonance

Earth health-love resonance
is bird song
contrasted to dissonance
of non-ecologos
decaying cars
and non-theomythic truck technologies
of terror
and mismanaged motorcycles
flowing incessantly by.

Optimal resonance lives inside an eco-forested bird sanctuary
before and after a WestWind storming toward East
contrasted to challenged resonance
of living every WinLose day
next to a bird-nested tree
and a State HighWay.

These influence our polycultural health-love outcome potential
hearing Either-Or deductive contrast
as Left-oppositional and Right-appositional,
bipolar egocentric and dipolar eco-harmonic,
and see Both-And induced comparisons
polypathic wonder of ego-health potential
with polyphonic awe for eco-wealth integrity,

And not so monoculturing mundane much
as simply and always Win-Lose fundamentalism,
Either deductively successful
Or reductively impossible;
anti-inductive mistrust.

Future Search of a newborn child,
Both-And Elder RightBrained,
regardless of species
or multicultural seasoning,
is boundaried by DNA-RNA's historical
holonic iconic meaning
folding-unfolding fractals
in emerging-submerging bilateral Time.

In this same way,
Future Search of post-millennial Real 4Dimensional Time
regeneration
is double-boundaried
by WinWin PositivEnergy
historical and ecological confluent memories
and LoseLose NegativEntropic
dissonant
absence of Future WinWin ReSearchers,
whistling birdsong favorites
after climatic WesternDominant storms.

BeLoved Resonant
mythic mystery
lies within wu-wei cusps
Tipping Points of Left-nature with Right-spirit,
secular experience of and for sacred iconic memory,
ecologos and theomythos
reweaving
reconnecting Left with Right,
Yang with Yin,
EgoPatriarchs in healthy love with WiseElder EcoMatriarchs
inside as outside,
within as without,
below as above
Zero Health-Articulating Zones 
for Win-Win love.


Premium Member I was a King of Light

 Starry Eyed on a Starry Night, I was lost inside
 like a Shooting Star, Flame and Fire Intertwined
 Pondering like a Heathen of Knights
 Wondering, Gazing, upon the cusps of Eternal Life
 what thence fore is I, when I have not Truly Lived
 to wield a Boon, to wield a Torch, towards True North, my Soul Drifts
 shall I commence an Excellent Dream
 or shall I give in to what it may seem,
 shall I Birth Forth a New Dawn from within
 when all seems lost, when the troughs drift to High Thoughts upon a whim
 shall I unmask the Shadows and Veils that swallow the Flame,
 or grow Wings, to chase Dreams, for Heavens Sake
 shall I acquire a Virtue of Solace or a Great Storied Ballad
 or a Crook and a Flail or a Chalice,
 shall I chase Stars when Ideals are things of past
 when Fields of Dreams are deserted like a worn-out Hourglass, 
 shall I acquire a Shield, a Helmet, or a Sword perhaps
 like Days of Old, like Chivalric Pasts
 shall I Stomp through the Barren Wastelands a Prince a Paladin
 where the Rivers don't flow, where there is No Hope and No Passions
 and there where the Paths were Weary, I Stood Upright
 and what was Found, was Claimed,   I Was A King Of Light

The Dolphin

When I am one in two 
I hesitate 
To let my thoughts withdraw,
For in the safety of that zone
I trust my friend who hears my voice alone.
She may not finish my unsaid words, 
Though sometimes she does,
She may not understand where I was going,
But she always faithfully tries.

The art of being two is a garden,
Where one hand sows, the other grows.
When birth takes place in the womb of the earth,
The hands fold together as one,
Dignified with grace,
Thankful for the blessing.
A trace of the everlasting
Seen in the unquestioned root
Of how devotion 
A good life fulfills.

In my heart there is a chamber
I share with no more then one.
There is but a single key,
Whose power is to open a world
Where a dolphin lies anchored
To an unbound universe.

Who is in possession of this key,
Is responsible.

To fear, flee and drop the chance to enter
Is a choice the unworthy can make.

To jump, 
To leap into that island room,
Where seas, 
Stormy, serene, salty and fresh
Blind the senses and reshape thoughts,
Is to fall into an ocean where a great dolphin 
Lies in shackles.  Time and action
In slow motion 
Must move.
The setting free of divine spirits an art 
Beholden 
Only to she 
The right one.

She who enters this space,
Where private thoughts wordlessly are spoken,
Where flowers grow on the cusps of waves,
Where faith is more then trying,
Where roots grow from a seafloor miles below,
Where stars in the sky whisper secrets,
Laughing with affectionate wonder
At the two below 
Whose only prison
Is the freedom 
To say yes or no
To a risky life 
Both bonded and unbounded,
Is she whose nimble fingers will by love alone,
Sink the chains and set the dolphin free.

Oh so long has he waited for she his chosen one
So long has he dreamt of the journey to come.
Upon his back she wept and held,
And into the open world they ever went 
And never ceased to be.

Premium Member ''NFC'' Our Natural State

If age is a constant then daydreams and nightmares 
will cease to exist when the best of life is achieved
as maturity stabilizes at a level of immaturity favors
the innocence in confidence-mired ill-retrieved
those hopelessly enwrapped by rhetorical triggers
stemmed by the proposer amongst the ill-believed
'tis liken a heist at gunpoint to corner those regretters
to have brains (methinks) to cusps their mind deceived 
and churned their souls to enter their relievers
and entertain the premature notion that they conceived 
participants to ascertain the wherewithal of achievers
better or best consciously the line of inquiry perceived
to mull over and enter the zone as one of the leavers 
to post with the best, to the winners be my best-wished.

Premium Member cusps of beginning

emotions of grief loss and bereavement had filled his days
for so long now and he had resolved most issues to some satisfaction
he dreamt of a turning point transition and profound metamorphosis
maybe he should have a butterfly tattoo on his physical body

the thoughts and feelings were necessary for moving on
yet he needed rest for his irritable soul and shift of consciousness

then came a profound emptiness not in the Buddhist sense
at least not so far as a personal Nirvana stillness serenity
more so a void a dark cloud waiting for a light lining of hope

he would have been tempted to refill his cup at the cusp
but what had defined him in the past was no longer there
and shallow pleasures or delusions of instant happiness
were not available on his horizon and the rainbow invisible
an empty vessel might be the better choice than hollow gratification

patience had never been his best virtue and the road ahead was rugged
full of rocks crevices speed bumps potholes and absence of direction
a tsunami had come and he could not push the river any longer
which made him hold on to the reed of faith acceptance and courage

he spoke to himself that one day he would wish to wake up
and say out aloud I am fully present in this day and the moment
right then he realised that he had just announced the very thing
he had been lacking and God had given him a simple answer


Screaming Into the Void

I stand on the precipice 
the edge of nowhere, nothing 
screaming 

Screaming into the void 
all that I am and, all that I will be 
or ever was 

I am at the edge of the earth 
the rim of reality 
the cusps of creation 

the point of oblivion 
the destination of all 
nothing nevermore 

the only thing never seen 
the deep depth of the abyss 
I feel the things never dreamt of 

an unnamed, unloved oblation
I stand on the edge nothing 
nonetheless screaming 

into the void the space 
in between and unseen 
the void 
the realm 

of what was and what will be 
all of creation in the heartbeat of atoms 
The birth of an infinitival star 

At the start of all, there is 
& ever was or will be 
the first last and all ways 
screaming into the void

I stand on the precipice 
the edge of nowhere, nothing 
screaming an unnamed
unloved oblation

a fragment of a god

Premium Member Imponderabilia

Memories of future events

	Recollections of measures ahead

		Reminiscence in fast forward

			Aspirations leaping back

        Projections of past reckoning

	        Icebergs frozen in conscience

		         Consciousness without borders

			           Recollective molten amnesia

Advanced reality looms precariously in forgone loops of oblivion

Renounced surrender pleads for reprieve in courageous defeat

A clairvoyant seeks to make sense of tea leaves still drowned

The backstage raven cusps darkened hope where none is left
 

Futuristic amnesia on the run is looking onto sunken imprints

Dragged feet are pegged to a ragged core of stuttering insanity

Wild wings roar raging on collision courses with roots’ firm recall

Yet the fool seeks wisdom if only for reruns of nascent madness


The black bird is caught in a trap of concerted voices in aphasia

A torn music sheet drifts down an abyss behind closed curtains

But the clouded clown’s mind refuses time's penultimate applause

Claps his bound feet and decides to enrol in imponderable cheers

COLOURFUL LAMENT

 
I combed cool waters of your baby blue 
crystalline Jewel as you waded waterfall 
waves washing my stellar rainbow rays 
arching it melted into the warm womb 
of transducing tangoing Earth

Her Violet Flame devoured us both
as nectared dewdrops to fuel the fire
our soma swirling into ecstatic orange 
oxytocined crane flowers whispering 
wisdoms to a hundred yellow  butterflies 
fluttering and flirting 

They circled a sunken Atlantean apex
atop where you ruled anew with Baconian 
brown locks surrounded by sirens serving 
savoury silver sardines, oolite oyster shells 
sang solos as dolphins dived, oceanic mouthed 

In Ancient Egypt you followed my runcinate 
rulings or indigo sorrow siglums, sighing
becoming slimmed seeker who served 
Thoth well whilst wreathing my wounded
worthiness and fallow fallopian tubes 
at pyramidal plumed midnight hour

In our Grecian lifetime you draped alabaster 
urns lighting my marble mantelpiece 
I watched breath enter your nebulae nostrils
as you crafted provincial proverbs instructing 
slaves to whiten your garb with lemons from 
our sculpted garden

On lavender Celtic hills we exchanged kilts
not knowing whose waist was whose
barefoot we flaunted sleek sharp sapphire 
studded swords dancing necessary wild wars 

Who remembered and who forgot 
where in ether our nestling niche napped
as games of betrayal, fear or doubt 
doubled into involuting circles and spirals
each tried to neck THE VOID as naked
excuse for not excavating heaving Heart

How much escaping, escapades, evolutionary 
clocks cloak our cusps or cues or custard 
synchronicities 
how many summer summit starlings must 
seek to sing of sorrow or of wolves, withering 
willows, watermelons on this Planet of 
coloured curriculums
holding dear our distinctive designs where 
lacy lament is but another aperture into Space 

I seek not to know !

From the Clarinet

Late November,
and lonely resonance of harmattan
salutes this solitude.
A weaverbird's contralto, in one
gale-sweep, lays bare the lower balustrade
of a maisonette,
and the romance of the last seasons
shoots the long throat of the clarinet...

O'classicals, on wings
ye come;
leaf cusps and petal ears —
classicals, swearing oaths of
mellifluous assembly...

Calm rhythms hasten to the
ears of Beethoven —
summon him for a serenade,
lest the dark shelter of a
decrepit day strips this solitude.

Anodyne hisses among
this hidden threshold,
curing and healing the weakness of
Clepoatra's hair, dampened with
the venom of haters of vanity.

Classicals,
rid us now of this grief of mundane
dances...
Even in death, Stravinsky hails solitude
on notes of the keys.

From the clarinet,
the bimetallism of barter —
the platitude of life and death
(symbiosis of percussions)
epitaph to the aftermath of
inveterate tradition —
now and forever...

And the clarinet looms.

Premium Member Intimate Script

The boudoir joins us in absorbing feeling

a Goddess right next to me under cover

breathless and inspiring we share the muse

of all muses as we preside over wedlock

hands tied around leather bound spines

filled with passion and undying whispers


Senses filled to the brim at cusps of delight

we do not require picture book illustrations

because our desire goes deeper than images

Exquisite coupling of rhythm meter and verse

then with glowing faces and filled with warmth

we talk philosophise read and weave our stories


Poet trees in motion swirl in moments forever

rooted in foundations of memories and covenant

like book binders we glue sweet narrations together

kiss wet lips in suspense and come together again

In the beginning there was the word and we follow

the humble script of pleasure and truthful vows


When we move pages and are moved by each other

our pillows are drenched in tears of joy and the scent

of never-ending new beginnings at the heart of elation

and tender triumph over sadness we know only too well

But we position ourselves in gratitude and serenity and

only a reader and lover understands the privilege we have
