Premium Member Fractals of Freedom: Virtues in a Void

Absurdity, chaos, 
strife:
The poet chooses 
virtuous reality.

Sisyphus, a 
titanic wave of metamorphosis, waiting, salted nausea:
The thinker roughed by sand 
a solitary tree in a barren desert 
defies absurdity

by seeking meaning in the absurd.

Authenticity, 
vision, conformity, religion:
The rebel a roaring 
wildfire igniting change like:
     authenticity, 
     vision, and non-conformity
forging their own path.

Project, 
reflect, individuality:
The human river
tasting the minerals of experience
expresses identity 
and discovers themselves.

Leap,
Übermensch,
ethics,
logotherapy:
The agent 
acts with freedom and responsibility
finding purpose.

Meaning, 
joy, void, hope:
The sweet-smelling optimist a sunflower 
fills emptiness with hope
seeking light in the darkness.

Truth, 
illusion, reality, fiction:
The rationalist 
discerns the real and the imagined.

Contradiction, 
logic, emotion:
The harmonist 
strives for balancing 
the rational and emotional.

Freedom, 
authenticity, manipulation, conformity:
The individualist 
resists pressure and influence.

Awareness, 
paradox, courage, hope:
The existentialist 
embraces the absurd and transcends.

Leak,
speak,
strike,
kneel:
The activist challenges-
The status quo and injustice.
Tirelessly fights for justice!

Death, 
suicide, violence, genocide:
The mortal 
faces limit and horror with courage.

Despair, 
nightmare:
The lover 
shares and cares with love.

Existence
precedes essence?
Or essence 
precedes existence?
The question 
haunts forever.

The Stoic 
Observes, unmoved yet aware:
Virtue alone suffices 
whether essence or existence;
In reason and nature 
we find our constant companion.


Premium Member Patrick Brennan Hears the Fey

Patrick Brennan enters the Craic Pub
His wife is at home, twisting her Celtic knot necklace
Enticing him to come home early, before he is too far into the cups
Gaelic love sent to him courtesy of her Great Grandmother Magda

Magda was a female druid, and her essence lingers.
She is one of her namesake’s spiritual guides.
She follows him from the Craic to the Brazen Head
Giving him severe messages that he is to return home.

Patrick hears the voices, his grandfather was fey, was he not?
He was going to have a couple of drinks and then head to O’Donoghues.
He reaches into his pocket and discovers the Druid sign.
Tree and full moon, unity between the Gaelic and nature.

He turns instead toward home, having no idea that he has been manipulated.
His grandfather and her great grandmother follow him along the path.
Awen's new ideas for next folk song, shows him lyrics that are available.
Wife is thrilled to see husband return so early. Knowing not her role in this.

Premium Member Sing His Song


Eternal buzz of voices, heard by the wind
Stilling the music of yesterday,
Reassuring the soul has a friend
Breathless music of hers and his, in amazing
Stories, poetry and senses, embracing
Kissing away the melancholic wounds, feelings
Dazed by the night who is no substitute

Inspiring colors, in whispers of light
Softly flow from yesterday throughout paradise,
Rising in blending wishes for grace and ghostlike
Psalms, blessings remembered by the fall,
When wind feels like a promise of what is meant
By gentle and honest, gratitude’s permission
To erase the past with its heavy grasp,
Warming by the fires of wonder found when
One heart discovers the meaning of a kiss…

Is it the river of feelings, flowing, knowing
That wind through the spirit, 
Awakening the music of a passion, sensations
Alluring, assuring, enthusiastic as trust
Washing the heart in grace, and feeding the feelings
Like faith who is absorbed by the way
Hearts heal when God’s love stills the spirit,
Resting His calm, like a clear pool of unforgettable,
To the tune of eternal truth, easing away the shadows,
Filling the soul with sincerity, serenity, silence

In peace, two wishes find the music that sees
Through the darkness to the destiny,
Believe, just believe, and receive what God brings
When He sends His ultimate beautiful, His music
In the seeds of lasting wonder, a muse
The feelings who grow and continue on, forever
Wiping away the tears and the fears,
All the past’s melancholy and bitterness
With light that frees the spirit, 
Considers what has been and leaves a watermark
Of what it means to be free… free at last,
Because, in God’s grasp, there comes a true freedom…

Free as the wind and the sea,
Free as the music that resonates
With a feeling that can only be stirred
By two who know, with God at the center
This wonder will continue on… forever and ever,
Love that causes the wind to vibrate, to babble
The words of a love song, a fire burning
Like the promise of everlasting – free as the knowing
Love knew, all along, love knew the song
Freeing those who simply blow their kisses
In rhythms of praise, just praise, praise the One
Who brings love it’s light, brings hope its sight,
Brings faith its everlasting fight…

Sing the song, it’s a love song – God is strong
God will sing along, because God’s love is never wrong!

Premium Member Risen


An ache colored Mary’s heart,
Erasing the joy, the soft, the hope.
She felt destroyed by that dark
Moment before three days had gone,
By, when she’d find…
He’d been moved from that tomb.

A hollow feeling, it’s emptiness,
More daunting, more fearful
Than the brink of death,
When He said, “it is finished”,
His voice keeps ringing in her head,
As she remembers… He’s dead.

A grief more lonely than she can explain,
Haunts her spirit, washes her in gray,
But, in time, her heart will find consolation,
When she discovers, He is risen,
He is showing the world that believes,
His plan, His destiny…

Refrain:

He is risen, Our Savior has climbed out of the tomb.
He’s given our hearts reason to assume…
Forever, our lives will be changed, we’re all new,
Pieces of His victory; yes, He always knew…
He would rise,.. a risen Savior, Jesus Christ,
Forever saved us with the life He sacrificed!

Immersed In Peaceful Thought

A beneficial mediation for the mind...
being immersed in peaceful thought,
seeing clouds drift towards sunset,
imagining places pristine and wild.


On a shining rock facing the breezy West,
I lay whispering what comes naturally...
to make a connection with the Almighty;
I praise His creations being laid down to rest.


Colors are lively images of the fading evening,
the slower the ruddy sun reaches the horizon,
the stronger the jasmines smell without repulsing...
picturesque valley, tarry much longer and glisten.


Feeling and looking happy and so serene inside,
I breathe in and out to let gladness overwhelm me...
looking in a certain direction with my glance of intensity
to connect with the spectacular planets that seem to glide.


Let this face glow without denying its deserved joy,
let my contemplation carry me to the ends of infinity
to bring back healing secrets Mankind never discovers...
see me immersed in peaceful thought among marigolds!

Trip Hazzards

Trip Hazzards
Do only poets expose them
Trip Hazzards that trip us
Its the small things that trip us up
Like friends that are false, I know I dont have to tell you
You have to keep your work area clean
Because if your like me then your a work in progress
A masterpiece isn't discovered
It is stumbled upon and a long shot 
A long shot 
Yea that's my next poem don't trip I sow a lot
Don't forget come close to the light
I love it when they lie cause they can't look me in the eye
They forsake me and betray me
But games they don't want to play with me
Tricks alright, I'll just hit the switch and turn out the lights
Thank God I am more than just a candle
I do more than just light minds and burn slow
The whole Empire is full of darkness
Cosmic soup, swallow some
You can lead a man to water
Was it Discovers or Trip Hazzards that we just stumbled over
Remember its the little things that trip us up

Premium Member Barracks Life

Son, you haven't really experienced life,
(And it will surely make you pine for a wife!),
Until you are thrust into noisy open-bay coops,
With fifty other snorting and snoring troops!

The sergeants demand that things be just right.
Bunks must be made with blankets smooth and tight!
Clothes must be hung straight and boots shined to a glow,
And all your shoes lined under your bunk in a row!

As the bugle at early dawn is blown,
Fifty guys rush to the latrine as if chased by a cyclone,
All vying at once for a place at the sink,
Because the line gets long as quick as a wink!

You're invited to a GI party on Friday nights without miss,
But this is no occasion for a cool beer and socializing, this!
On hands and knees with a GI brush in hand,
You'll be scrubbing and waxing until the floor is grand!

Saturday you'll stand by your bunk for a white-glove inspection,
The eagle-eyed captain checking everything demanding perfection!
If dust he discovers you'll receive reams and reams of demerits!
Forget the weekend pass - you'll be on KP peeling taters and carrots!

disarrayed sands
                  dislodged 
from 
timeless terrain
                  captured 
by 
chaotic instants
settle ceaselessly
                  bemused
on 
stratified shelf 
of 
languid life
                  disorganized
in 
moments moving
                  dismantled 
with 
dispersed dust 
of 
petrified perturbation
truth of trust
                  embedded
in 
sanguinity suffused
with
random rhythm
of
ruffled ripples 
of 
disordered discontent 
                   oscillating 

bewildered efflux 
of 
delinquent dismay
transmutes exhilaration 
                   tousled
mystifying alchemy 
of 
metamorphic illusion
reveals pretense 
                   real
of 
traumatic transmutation
                   tormenting

somber squall

through 
whirlpool void 
of 
despondence deep
where
mangled mind 
                  drowns 
in

Premium Member Favorite Movie Performance By Actor Colin Firth: a Single Man

L.A ‘62. English professor George (Colin Firth) is mourning the loss of his gay partner. He's 
spent the day reliving memories, but that night meets his student Kenny (Nicholas Hoult), 
who secretly admires him, in a bar. The two end up at George’s house after a spontaneous 
ocean swim. Kenny has just emerged from the shower,wrapped in a towel. George is making 
a fire. When Kenny goes to get a beer, he discovers a nude photo of George’s dead lover in 
a drawer. His suspicions about his teacher are confirmed. A beautiful score of stringed 
music, nostalgic and tender draws me in to every nuance of Colin's performance.

George, feeling foolish and seeming a bit flushed with anticipation (yet restraining himself 
from improper conduct), sits on a chair across from the young man when the boy returns to 
the living room. A conversation ensues in which George asks Kenny questions, trying to 
discern the young man’s reasons for being there that night. The boy, too, is trying to learn 
things about George, but keeps hedging with his responses to George‘s questions, and 
nothing completely “telling” is ever said. Meanwhile, their eyes linger on each other. The 
young man’s eyes are an enchanting almost gleaming blue; I find it hard myself to look away 
from his sweet face. My eyes are also riveted every second to George’s face and to its many 
subtle changes of expression.. Finally, the boy asks George something and at that moment,  
George’s face blurs. My curiosity is very aroused when suddenly the scene has switched to 
George awaking at about 3 a.m. from his bed.. The young man, however, is not in the bed 
(as I had hoped he would not be). He is asleep on the sofa, and he clutches in his hands the 
gun which George had planned to shoot himself with. Had George revealed his plan to end 
his life that day to his student? Was that what happened in those missing hours? Had the 
boyish Kenny (while George was sleeping off his drunkenness) found the gun in the same 
way he had discovered the picture of George’s partner and now was holding it to prevent 
George from carrying out his suicide? I know I am soon going to learn George’s fate. . .

Premium Member Fear of Flying

At night in dreams, he learns to fly;
Soars high in open skies.
The feeling of euphoria:
To catch a warming rise.

But then one day he finds an edge;
A dome does all surround.
Constraining flight, his freedom too,
It arches to the ground.

Soon he discovers it’s a trap;
He’s in this lofty jail,
And knowing that the heights are capped,
No longer yearns to sail.

He tries to fly up high enough;
Escape is at the top?
But always there’s a ceiling there,
All exploration stops.

And worse, there’s running down below
To where he’s going to land;
They mean to make an end of him,
Just as his feet touch sand.

And then he’s running for his life;
His legs don’t seem to work.
He’s thrashing, and he’s crying out
In fear and half berserk.

He screams and screams to wake his wife
But doesn’t make a sound,
And finally, the moans and kicks
Arouse her, bring her ‘round.

She shakes him by the shoulders firm,
Makes sure that he’s awake;
Then turns to face the other way,
And sleep soon overtakes.

For him, the night is full of fear;
He’s shaking, soaking wet.
He hasn’t a way out of here;
He’s caught within this net.

The dream repeats most every night;
He’s haggard, and he’s worn.
The nightmares always end the same;
He’s bleeding, tattered, torn.

This vicious loop goes on for years;
He’s weary in his soul,
He hasn’t yet connected dots
On why he’s in this hole.

In desperation, he cries out,
The nightmares finally quit.
The Lord, it seems, had heard his cries
And pulled him from the pit.

No longer dark, my dreams of late.
The night; no longer dread.
And now, I do not need to fly;
I've found true rest instead.
