Cold Moon Rising

Once again without my lover;
a cold moon is soon to be
For this I have some tension and
anxiety...

If only then I knew
that here would be a twist,
For once there was and now because...
gazing at the mist.

The moon will keep on rising,
stiff my bones become.
This weeping soul; I loved that troll,
freeze sets in; I'm numb.

Will huddle to the morning,
alone I'm here and older.
From the bites of nippy nights,
feeling so much colder.

Be still, retrace eternal grace-
the nights of making love.
So I stir with me you were...
the man unworthy of.

Thus it will keep rising,
as memories return.
Once the cold is bitter,
maybe then I'll learn.

Dear it haunts me truely,
my first, my very last.
The moon it spun- the damage done;
lost love from in the past.

Understanding a mere branding,
revising such disguising.
Never knew I'd be so blue from this
cold moon rising.

You loved me very much,
whilst laying in my bed.
For the day- I'll be OK,
now think you must be dead.

Here it did so take me-
again a night of gloom.
For me was cold- the love you told
reminiscence of thee ruin.

Somehow I must escape this;
to break the loop of woe.
For heavy is the burden,
due to weight I tow.

So looking at the future,
marriage- he's devising.
Will he miss the past of bliss,
through a cold moon rising...

Premium Member A Side Chick Legend

I am a side chick 
I have existed from time immemorial 

In ancient times I was  a prostitute
In biblical times a concubine
 
Otherwise known as a mistress 
The other woman 

She that never came home 
A woman tucked away somewhere 

In all centuries 
I have lived on the sidelines 
Docile, submissive and unsung

Pandering to sexual needs
Of wayward husbands

Though I live in obscurity 
I am a legend of all times

No husbands can resist me
Some risk it all for me

I am the sword of Damocles
Hanging  over every marriage 

I am a shadow that follows
Men under my spell

As they keep running to me for more
From cold matrimonial beds

While I keep devising new strategies 
To be their everlasting nemesis 

As a dynamic legend
To remain relevant in my trade

I seek out stars and the wealthy 
And transform to a baby Mama

With a permanent cheque book 
And a swollen bank account 

Condemn me as much as you will 
Despise me as much as you can

Criticize me as irresponsible 
I remain indestructible 

And a global citizen 
Until men and women 
Live in perfect relationship 

But that remains a mirage
Until then the legend lives on!

A L M O S T a B a B Y

so, who is not dishonest,
    right from the word go?
   who put the I before promise?
it was you because I said so... from the word go 
       when I was nearly a child
 you were almost a baby
it is not time that decides
      you don't get to play me... almost a baby  
                                              almost a baby

          now as the world divides
        and it's all forks and knives
              now I live a thousand lives
           All of them tainted, I'm tainted

standing tall in my shade 
 you were almost a baby
ne'er had call to be afraid 
        Well, not until lately... almost a baby 
when I was nearly a child
 a'playin' knock-a-door-run
          s'bold, gentle and wild
      Now where has that boy gone?... knock-a-door-run
                                                        knock-a-door-run

          we are now civilised
       I'm the creative one
              devising alibis 
         and I am going, I'm gone, I'm wasted

when I was nearly a child
 you were almost a baby

This Mystery About Me...

Whoever tries to interfere
with this mystery about me:
is in for a stunning surprise,
everything deeply concealed
can't possibly be  revealed!
Others will sell their soul to green,
to be in the glamorous spotlight; 
and the irony, beside the folly,
never demands an apology 
and be apparent in every delusional appeal,
which feeds on justification rather than sympathy:  
feeling so wretched and depleted and ashamed of being seen...


And will this mystery about me
die and not be denounced with demure...
without being in a deluge of dire regret,
devising another plan and detour;
desiring of breaking free 
without deviating from the main road:
to discern the importance of dignity,
and disconnect hope with dilemma and hate...


Dispirited, recurring to unpleasing choices 
and dispersing the inward beauty without dismal;
disembodying my aspect of gracefulness, 
to hide this mystery about me
by building a wall to ignore their call...
and will my dishonesty be rejected scornfully,
or will they understand my silence
by showing fondness and love?

To Embrace You With Blue Horizon

To embrace you with blue horizon

And enfold you with starry night

Means to see through the man's devising

And by Passion to set it right.


That Life shines with galactic splendor

And arises in purple dawn

Means in Humankind to engender

Beauty that goes down to the bone.


In the foam of caressing clouds -

Like in foam of the ocean waves -

Floats Life's Essence - and the mind's doubts

Find inside them Etheric graves.


Can you hear me? Oh can you hear me -

Can the Wind from the Southern shores

Take your atoms and bring them near me

That I feel the one I Adore?


Can the air that last week caressed you -

Air that bathed you along its flight -

Bring to me Cosmic Truths which blessed you

And delight me with your sweet light?


Can the rain from Miami carried

Fall upon me and kiss my cheek

With the essence of my beloved

That I'm near to the one I seek?


Droplets! Wind! I am jealous of you

That you touch her, and I cannot -

And from gusts that come streaming from you

Wisps of Julia to me float.


Wind and clouds! Wanderers of heaven

!Flying from the South to the North -

As you Swirl, Sail, Uplift and Travel -

Bring to me my love!

Love, come forth!


And before my life will vanish

In the final glory of rays

I'll enfold you, the one I cherish,

With Horizon that I embrace.


Premium Member Moonlight Romance

 A moonlit night sets the mood for romance
 Lovers stroll on the beach, perchance to dance
 Upon the shore, waves intrude
 For romance, a moonlit night sets the mood

She gazes at him with eyes that adore
Waves intrude upon the shore
 Passions rise to the brim
 With eyes that adore, she gazes at him

 Heartbeats rising, no surprise
 To the brim passions rise
 Moonlight gleams  with love's devising
 No surprise heartbeats rising

They will remember this night in their dreams
 With love's devising, moonlight gleams
 With tender kisses, ecstasy takes flight
 In their dreams, they will remember this night

Premium Member The Rising of the Ocean

The Rising of the Ocean
The North Atlantic Ocean's rising 
Glaciers are melting as are ice caps 
Global warming wants some refining.

Sadly Earth is craving devising
Planets climate is reaching climax
The North Atlantic Ocean's rising.

Humankind must do their revising
For now is the time to up the act 
Global warming wants some refining.

Ensuing days are traumatising 
For future generations that's fact
The North Atlantic Ocean's rising.

To breathe we so need tree investing
Too many have been felled in the past
Global warming wants some refining.

Our world badly wants redesigning
Changes brought on must be made to last 
The North Atlantic Ocean's rising 
Global warming wants some refining.

Premium Member It's the Rain

It’s the Rain…

It’s the rain,
 I think,
That causes a brain
To slow down
   Long enough
    On summer afternoons
To think with rose-colored glasses

To ponder dripping eaves
		Dodging raindrops 
To paint inspirations’ whisper
	On misty winter windowpanes

Then sip rejuvenation 
	In thick stoneware mugs
Through autumn afternoons
 		Of early darkness

Devising sweet chocolate designs,
    Plotting flight
      An algorithm’s dance 
        Routes to reach mountaintops           
Clothed with spring’s soft breath 
 	In newborn eyes

Then
 Reach for galaxies without names
	
Yes,
It’s the rain.
 I think.

The Silver Queen

Spinners twirling,
Silver swirling,
Conjured magic dinner plate.
Her eyes devising,
Hypnotizing,
Glittered, gleaming, polished slate.

She knits a dress
With silky tress,
She puts her prowess in the stitch,
And gives her guest
A lovely rest.
Her kisses halt the latent twitch.

She lays her head,
upon the thread,
and watching sky and sea and moon,
inquires whence about her prince,
and if he'll come to find her soon.

For when his gaze
upon her lays,
and legs creep onto bed and tomb,
Therewith his wife
craft pearls of life,
as he gives his to fill her womb.

Her children grow,
and briskly go,
on strings of air and brazen pride.
they sing goodbye,
and off they fly!
To calling wind, they all abide.

Her great delight
Is pale moonlight,
It makes her shining quilt unseen,
And brings a score
right to her door;
The lofty, royal silver queen.
