Blowing a helluva Hooley

Rarely not windy
In the far flung
Squarely unfairly unsung
Seriously deliriously magical

Mystical..mythical Catlins
Rather adept at being 
Scarily palaver kept..
Wild & warily windswept

Gusts crept not 
Slowing then leapt
Boom & bust thrust lust
Not caring us despairing

Sussed trussed trees cussed
Unruly unjust showing growing
Glaring..nonplussed
Haring..not fussed
Duly well &  
Truly cruelly blowing 
A helluva Hooley

Mean flurry of almost obscene 
Breeze seems in no hurry to ease.
Smashed...whacked...bashed.. smacked
Lashed...by gusting...busting galloping gales
Never fails to leave me blustered and flustered

Lolloping..at the end of my tether
Amazed by crazed walloping weather
Raised & mustered
Brazen Mother Nature dolloping
All turned to custard
Surely they will pass...these fast blasts can't last
No need to be cryptic..it's almost apocalyptic

Have we sinned against the god of wind
Feel the real deal glee of Taw Fee Ree (Maori God of Wind)
Maybe he might hear me...respond to this plea...

Help our plight...let us alight from 
The fight against the fright
Flight of breezy bite blight..
Just some respite
But it is quite a sight

Wild fling..Aotearoa spring can bring..
Darkness & light
Centre staging..in the raging...roaring..rampaging forties

No point deploring..knocking..ignoring 
Shocking haughty windy warlocks 
Soaring..scoring..rocking the joint
Warring.. doing their naughty thing

Hope Vanishes Without Faith

All the riches and the uncontrolled lust
the alluring world can offer humans instantly,
will never affect the truest believer  
who dares not embody the devil waging war;
not to wear fine clothes and lustrous gold,
not to be admired or be vehemently worshipped,
not to stand where an impostor will cruble into dust;
Lucifer won't convince him or her to stray!

Hope vanishes without faith,
their dark road is even blacker than smoke
as they shout out what's unclean,immoral and unsacred;
even the fire can't melt the thick ice,
and the hammer isn't able to break
the shackles as they deliriously dance;
amid millions of innocent souls they profligate...
to pierce their flesh to make a lasting effect! 

People who declare themselves gods,
are anxious to be seen in the spot-lights...
displaying what they possess,telling what they crave!    
They prefer to be shackled by bondage,
live to extremes,and pay the dearest wage...
living to satisfy desire for a dangerous purpose,
to harm their bodies and bring calamity on themselves;
it's unimaginable the afflictions they brave!

Hope vanishes without faith,
you must protect it with your endurance;
your Creator has given you a choice:
live by his unchangable commandments,
or die without knowing His will;
ignorance stems from a lack of knowledge...
be the one who favors obedience,
to serve a God who asks nothing more than grace!

Yesterday as I sat in the Mall having a cup of coffee
Two young ladies came and sat next to me.
Both were well-dressed, and I thought they were friends.
The oldest one of them had bought two cream cakes
A coffee and a green smoothie.
The younger of them started to clap her hands and laugh loudly,
She looked deliriously happy and kept on laughing and clapping her hands.
Then I noticed a badge on her jacket that said she lived in a special
care home and was shopping in the Mall with her carer for the day.
She was carrying a neatly folded plastic bag full of
different coloured flower heads she had picked herself
before shopping. When I finished my coffee, I said bye-bye and said
it looked like she was having a lovely day.
Wreathed in smiles and pure joy, she opened the plastic bag and
presented me with one of her lovely flower heads.
A simple gesture that melted my heart, filling it with joy and
happiness.
I am fortunate to have encountered such a sweet, innocent soul who
shared her joy and flowers with everyone she met.

Premium Member Martians Land In the Us and Regret Saying 'Take Me To Your Leader'

When Martians landed from outer space
They requested to meet a world leader
So Donald arrived with a smirk on his face
But soon turned green with an alien fever

The Martians decided to probe his brain
to see if they could cure his malaise
Their readings showed that he was insane
so they zapped him with powerful rays

Donald started to twitter deliriously
but the Martians understood every word
They didn’t believe he’s taken seriously
as his tweeting was totally absurd

The Martians communicated with telepathy
Using thoughts no one could understand
An interpreter was called immediately
and declared that as leader he’s banned

A torrent of tears fell from poor Donald’s eyes
His orange skin turned an odd shade of grey
The Martians usurped Donald and to his surprise 
Their first earth words were ‘have a nice day’ 

The Martians decreed immediate world peace
And that we must all live in perfect harmony
We must love one another, all wars have to cease
No current world leader even dared  to disagree

Latest news on Donald is he’s now in a better place
He sits in his rocking chair with a grin on his face

Take me to your leader Contest

Premium Member Pawn to Silence

I was cursed with ink 
intoxicating blank canvases 
with toxic scribbles,
releasing twisted tales 
of suppressed troubles.
I was a forsaken  ebony rose 
in satan's grasp,
kneeling on ungodly needs
in a gothic fortress 
of woeful odes,
surrounded by black knights
and colorless blossoms,
searching for legitimate sestinas
and versatile villanelles
to ignite my quill to bleed
without semantic barriers. 

Swaying like a pendulant,
on the edge between
light and darkness,
resembling midnight's 
black ice queen,
I thirsted for a 
universal prophecy.
A poet who would engrave
perennial verses upon my
discoloured healing heart.
To paint antique stones,
during sunless days
in a moonless kingdom.
A calligraphic catharsis,
adorning the sincere crown 
of an imperial ivory king, 
whose angelic voice 
glitters like gems,
soothing insensitive beating drums
within my pondering pensive mind.
A majestic master of his quill,
reviving poetic intimacy,
fusing his musings 
deep inside untouched chambers
with an unscratched itch, 
of my undanced fandango.

F a t e has a way for 
versifiers to assimilate.
From the first drop 
of his couplet,
he had my tongue 
rhyming to the rhythm 
of his unspoken lyrics.
Now, I am a slave to 
what I have become.
Handcuffed and blindfolded
by preserved petals 
between perfumed pages
written from the tip of his
magical wand like fingers. 
I am weaving crystal quartz
words in witching hours,
whilst he pours dulcet musings
incensed in white sage
over my rustic bronze silhouette,
as I am his willing mistress:
a submissive subservient pawn 
to his silent slavery. 
Throned in intricately carved
prose and poetry,
where monochrome strokes
of thin lines no longer perish.

There’s no need for a sorcerer
when his sentimental sonnets 
are an addictive elixir.
I am deliriously comatose
and chained in piercingly
euphoric sagas of his saccharine soul.

Even Lilith seized the moment
to behold what belonged to her
In the name of infatuated love. 
So this is me, stealing
scented seeds
sown along parallel paradigms
of his rightful Parnassian paradise, 
d r o w n i n g in 
metaphorical monograms,
leaving memoirs of a poetess~
seething glitters and gold
reborn from the depths of 
a savior that saved 
me from burnt chapters
              of darkest oblivion.


Aquarius

I always saw myself, a rarity
My inner peace comes with clarity
I'm so extreme, it often seems
The world is so unfair to me

Then I was called an Aquarius 
Turns out, there are many of us
About as rare as a rocking chair
Or a pecan in a can of nuts

But how in the world could it be
Are there really others, just like me
Deliriously mysterious
Tempting the line of both extremes

I've accepted that I'm strange
Agreed that I won't change
But I was taught, it was my fault
It was I who was deranged

Now I just observe
I need not speak a word
No longer blind, I see my kind
I admit, it seems absurd 

As if I walk around
Without speaking sound
But even still, others will
Know I am a clown

They'll know I'm awfully odd
By the transparency of my facade
I cannot hide, won't tell a lie
They'd know I was a fraud

Just look at my date of birth
It will tell you what I'm worth
No need to wait, inevitable fate
Now you know henceforth

Changing Moods

Even young people like Fred
went from sad to mad,
thinking that happiness
was a wish not grated;  
he succumbed to sickness,
he wished he were dead.

Changing moods in him persisted
and created a split personality;
he showed thoughts of insensibility,
a pitiful man unloved and afraid.  

His mother stood by him and cried,
friends and family kept their distance;
once he was so loved and admired,
his grey eyes exuded confidence.

Resigned to his fate, he became a wreck
it got worse until he went completely beserk;
smashing everything he found in his way,
he impersonated an actor in his wild play.

He found pleasure in destroying a memory
too bitter for him to endure with gentleness; 
when his fury was appeased by madness,
he calmed down and laughed deliriously.

At only eighteen, his destiny is sealed forever;
in a wheelchair he spends his days in distress,  
not even his mom can comfort him with hugs...
he looks at her sadly, then bursts into laughter.

Premium Member Pools Edge

Warm hands slip and slide, deliriously succinct 
in the August heat. Hair’s humid and unkempt.
We head for the pool’s edge and together
we jump in, our laughter bubbles to the surface.
Our buoyant suits rise and salute the sunrise.
Skin to skin collection of vibrant rays and youth.

Fluffy-white clouds make for a perfect day.
The sunstorm with its powerful rainbow hues
color our minds for a rainy day, when less than
romance cradles us and we start to forget -
oh no…we will remember and revive our love.

warm hands
slip’n slide
perfect humidity &
humility
standing on edge
we leap
in wonder
in the coolness
in laughter
we find each other’s 
smiles
we kiss
we remember
we climb the ladder
of love

Premium Member I Never Knew I Needed One

I never knew I needed one.
Until one enticed me into writing back and forth.
Her code name Turtle.
She had so many things to say,
And they spoke to my heart.
My first penpal!

We had a mystical connection.
A soul-sister feeling,
A fast and forever bond.
We wrote so many crazy things to each other.
Things we would never dare say to strangers.
For they would then know we were mad.

And deliriously happy in our crazed states,
We continued to write.
All of the stories we could never tell another.
Stories bartenders would have not believed.
Yet, they had happened to both of us.

Will we ever meet?
Probably not, but I do not want to.
Penpals forever. Who would want to take a chance 
and ruin something as beautiful as that?
Right, Turtle?

More Than a Pretty Smile

There she was chasing a rabbit 
with 1 am coffeecakes and weak tea
She didn’t notice I was watching
from the branches of an olive tree
A lone smile hidden amongst
swirling smoke rings in a foreign accent

To the gazebo she ran
with its straw grass tables
and pleated cushions in hibiscus 
print fabric no one would sit on

My eyes followed her as she
darted around manicured boxwoods
and cherub statues spitting water
onto sleeping lily pads,
following the same schedule
as the other…identical

She came upon a dandelion 
and asked politely, “Pardon me,
but have you seen a…”
The weed interrupted, 
“Didn’t…don’t do drama dreams
dancing deliriously down
donut distracted ditches”
“That’s dumb” she replied
with a giggle and a snort 

This must be her fun, I think, 
trying to catch a white ball of fur, 
big, then small,
then smaller still like a 
thimble seeking a thread,
when now she is stopped 
in her ziggy zagging tracks 
by a June bug singing, 

“I see, I see, in front of me
Dessert, dessert, set out for free
A chocolate pie, a chocolate pie
in menus written on the sky”

Perplexed she climbed upon its back
and flew, holding onto 
red leather shoulder pads 
with black dots changing shapes, 
ducking winged arches that 
covered the vestibule they 
soared through when a sharp turn 
pitched her to the opposite side…

Landing with a thud, 
her new dress now soiled
between the wrinkles in time
that had ticked away
on a clock faced sun named Ray

She cried carrot tears, 
orange sherbet streams
on peach tone cheeks, 
marmalade miseries
and mango miscues
piddling on her patent leather shoes,
ready to give up

When it appeared, hopping happily
Jumping into her lap 
and licking her face
She caressed its fur, removing 
sticker burs and scratching 
just the right spot, as its right rear leg 
thumped with joy

Then lifting the bundled bunny 
to her face, she kissed it tenderly 
with wild cherry gloss lips, 
or should I say…kissed me
for you see, all along, it was me

"And you thought I was nothing more than a pretty smile…"
