Premium Member Feeling Ghosts In Graydon Hotel

feeling of persuasive greatness the instant my foot entered the threshold.
Graydon Hotel might be abandoned, but it was not empty, it was occupied.
I had not seen the spirit walkers yet, I felt them. Demons were here too.
Glory dashers were easily felt by my empathetic abilities;I was listening.

Hearing their voices, feeling their disappointments and pains and trauma.
Picking up on suicides and murders, I stared at my partner. She cringed.
Do you feel power animals? She asked. She is an animal psychic; I am not.
No, but a variety of other creatures, many sad, not so much joy here.
The animals are sad too, she said. This was not a loving or giving hotel.

We deliberated about whether or not we could spend the night.
She was more optimistic than I was, so we tried. But we left after two hours.
Sadness and depression take our energy down to the ground.
It takes hours for us to build back up to happiness or excitement.

We both had trouble sleeping that night. Such a sad place, she texted me.
I had more trouble than she for a depressed spirit had followed me home.
He sat on my bed, trying to get my attention. I diligently ignored him.
Bored at last, he disappeared; probably moving back to the Graydon Hotel.

The Midwife Pg4 Continue of Tater and Junebug

With a deliberated ruse; she washed its tiny face with a soft washcloth.

With no resistance, she enfolded the wee infant into a swaddling cloth.

In the Autumn equinox, she placed the tiny form in the simple wooden box.
She watched them perform their antiquated burial tradition, and then she returned to the loose gray dirt.

She then headed home with a secret beneath her skirt.

Earlier during the dim of the day, while they were seeking each other for comfort.
And while superficial prayers were offered up with great effort.

She blew breath into the tiny mouth and massaged its tiny smooth chest.
And by the grace of God, the tiny infant was blessed.

Madame Blackwell by virtuous askew created a makeshift bundle and made a switch.
Her deed made unnoticed without a glitch.

No regret manifested in her heart.
No transient sorrow, in place was a spiritual upstart.
For retribution was pacified and made whole.
There was a righteous mood in her soul.
Justice was done.
For her, the sun's unsparing glory shone radiantly on her and her son.

Unceasing Glimpse

all leaflets green, hack down in spring
to trim the plant, for pleasant scene 


sea wave surge wild,  but at shore collapse
roar all that left behind, of wave that breath last


drop of tears glide, on cheeks dried
for no one to wipe, in loneliness cried


poems deliberated, on fountain of thoughts
but left unheard, those unsought lines scribbled


a canvas deserted, in blackhole of desires, 
art at its best, remains mystery unsolved 


in storm of death, began a love perfect
all that matter, lover to be secure


person found eternity, alone in cemetery
soul still clings, to the forbidden self-reality


a thought rushed to live, beyond paradigm
dreams hard to catch, those untimely left

Elusive Ephemeral Ethereal Expansive: Timelessness

Analogous to mobius strip -
     measured passage of existence
     only took precedence
     with *****sapiens ascendent
busting forth upon
     the figurative pedestal
     presiding over domain,
     sans Earthly covenant

a bajillion ago,
     where fits and starts
     pitted proto humans
     at no immediate advantage,
     yet merely, thru
     dint of accidental
     happenstance ever so
     imperceptibly amassed dominion

     over every other species
     as became evident
throughout the vast sweep of
     anthropological 
     evolutionary incidental
plucky perturbations, provocations,
     and/or pullulations arisen by
     spontaneous circumstantial grant

ting quasi consciously
     coalescing into brutish
     deliberated focused intent,
where forethought 
     coopted indiscriminate
     chance facilitating kent -
manifested rubber
     baby buggy bumpers

     activated, aggrandized, and
     allotted destiny meant
to lurch incrementally
     i.e. hierarchical designation
     present day primate
     predecessors practiced negligible
     notched nimbleness orchestrated
     (equal parts gall and genetic

     giftedness), whatsapp operant

     and proffering

     and wrestling, whence yen
     (to secure rootedness)

GOD'S LOVE THEORY: SEEN SEALED AND SAVED

love is an emotion 
of profound affection 
love is a verb 
of intense reflection 
the love theory when it comes to God 
a set of principles 
found deep in the heart 

divinely deliberated 
spiritually invigorated 
God's love theory
seen, sealed and now saved 
for all eternity 

God sees us for who we 
and allows us into His heart 
no longer judgmental 
living charitably 
now sealed by His love
most indefatigably

divinely liberated 
spiritually invigorated 
God's love theory
seen, sealed and now saved 
for all eternity
 
a love for God is a different thing 
A devout commitment 
that only the Spirit can bring 
to comprehend that a love from our Savior 
Is a given and not predicated on our behavior 
a divine encounter which will have us saved 
no longer subjugated to an existence depraved 

walking by faith and not by sight 
standing in the salvation of God's perfect light 

divinely liberated 
spiritually invigorated 
God's love theory 
seen, sealed and now saved 
for all eternity 

God looks beyond our fallacies 
and loves us unconditionally 
for God's love is more than a secondhand emotion 
God's love is a most prevailing devotion 

divinely liberated 
spiritually invigorated 
God's love theory 
seen, sealed and now saved
for all eternity 

divinely liberated 
spiritually invigorated 
God's love theory 
seen, sealed and now saved 
for all eternity

Premium Member I Have Evolved

When I began to paint canvases, all of my girls had
one hair color, they were monochrome.
I was fearful of trying anything else.
Timid.
Hesitant.
Unsure, not wanting to waste supplies.
Canvases are expensive.

I shocked myself the first time I decided to
try two colors.  That was four years ago, but I
remember the agony it caused, as I deliberated
about wasting an eight dollar canvas.

Today I have put together a girl with five hair
colors, and I am deliberating about adding a sixth.
I have painted five such girls in the past week.

Evolution is a beautiful time, and experience
makes you daring.

Premium Member Status Quo of the Sixth Order

Whizzlebuggled by the determined initiating committee
I ran screaming toward the ends of the river
Seeking asylum from the flock of the Status Quo of the Sixth Order

A robin flying overhead gave me a giggleberry feeling.
I deliberated starting my own murder of crows, only we would
name it a murder of peacocks, and I would turn into a male
as they are the extravagant ones.

A school of dippenlily fish offered me their assistance.
I did not take them up on it for my precognition kicked in
and I realized they had the same agenda as an army of
White Supremists.

So here I am, debating how to go about starting my
family, team or murder of peacocks. 
First I have to transmogrify into a male
for the females are so damned plain.

Errantia Cordis

—The Heart’s Wandering—


                                I went abroad to trace thee.

But the first step faltered—
       for the heart had already begun
                                            to trace me.


The heart keeps maps
       of places the earth has never known.


Thus we wander, it and I,
          through hedges that refuse a road.
                        Fields lie mute beneath the wind.


Each step invents
         a further absence. 


I questioned dusk—
   ancient registrar of partings—
      whether thy shadow crossed its amber courts.


                                          It answered with crows.


Yet once—
      within the skull’s dim firmament—
                a brightness tore the dark:


A ladder of fire
    rose through the mind.
            Each rung remembered thee.


                                                             I climbed.

But heaven refused its grammar.


Then grief struck iron—
         and rhyme, compelled by pain, declared:


                     Return, return—where’er thou art concealed,
                                      For night grows vast, and solitude unhealed.


                                                     The echo faded.


Grass bent.
      Clouds deliberated.
                   Stars convened their patient parliament.


And then the thought—
       slow, terrible, luminous—
                          descended:


Perhaps it was never I who sought thee,
        but thou who placed the map within my heart.


Beloved—
     thy habitation I know not.


Yet I carry a small compass of bone;
      its needle trembles, turning always
          toward the place where thou art not.


                                                                   Still it leads.


                                                        And I begin to see:


Each step was learning
         the absence that would draw it.


So long as breath inhabits this mortal province
      my heart proceeds—


                                                       not toward a place,
  

but along the path
      thy absence has already drawn.

Premium Member Olive Exposure

Olive was vibrant and deliberated in awe in front of her wardrobe

Should she put on that glorious fox pelt for the night’s Hunters Ball

Surely it had to be politically correct and she would claim her place

In the hearts of those killers she had to write about for the Morning Post

But she decided for something less tainted and went more en natural


The emerald dress with a shade of sage and chartreuse trimmings

Loosely woven to show off her figure and pleasing for the crowd

After all she was a woman of firm beliefs and tantamount beauty

A lime stola for the stage light and forest green to harbour her bust

Moss and pine reinforced buttocks and myrtle sap silk to cover her crotch


You can’t wear that honey it’s near translucent and far to risqué 

Its my nature to reveal what is out in the open and easy to see

A statement so please now hand me that praying mantis whip


Covered in bio-degradable material the reporter put on mascara

Jade eye liner and mint lipstick made from ground clover and laurel

Front page she thought and a tad androgynous for a man’s taste

But Olive was a seductress in name and ready to dance for her cause

They will be bilious with sheer envy when they undress me tonight


Her garments were made from hemp shamrock and cyan feathers

A bit of sea weed and a shiny perlemoen belt for modesty’s sanctum

Octopus ink dotted around the little sea horse brocade ready for the kill


Let’s find out who is the wolf in sheep’s clothing and who rules the party

It is not over until this lady sings to the crude fanfares of animal cruelty

My malachite shine will torture those bigots and hypocritical beasts

And a bit of irresistible irritation has to expose their cunning bushy tails

Before I put muzzles on their hounds and phallic antics and beat my retreat


The headline in the paper read Predators in Read Coats Impaled on Spurs

And a photo showed a foxy young woman presiding over her fallen prey

Tempo

In a small stretch of tempo, I forgot your fame.
In a small stretch of tempo, I forgot your name.
In a small stretch of tempo, I forgot about the inauspicious and piteous moths that were attracted to your irresistible flame.
In a small stretch of tempo, I forgot to abrogate your lovers game.
In a small stretch of tempo, in the delay of my deliberated falseness, in my delay of barefacedness, infused by fierce streams of atrocious schemes, and baleful dreams.
In a small stretch of tempo, I was captured by you.
In a small stretch of tempo, the old had no power to cut into the new, from a small sum of time you sieged my body, permeating it, filling up spaces, touching barren places, erupting bridled desires, causing seismic waves of pleasure with; intense and faultless measure. In your arms and while my head rested against the swell of your chest, I inhale voraciously the sweet smell of your beautiful sculpted body.
At rest in an intoxicated mindset, I felt abundantly content; a perfect segment from my antecedent shameless intent.
In a small stretch of tempo, like the break of day and a timely resurgence of a nimble mind I realized that through the dull substance of flesh and encephalon, I did not adequately measure the art of your scope. With newfound hope, and like the hands of a clock swiftly pasting the minutes across its face, I put my plans back into place
