Premium Member Ghost

Twisted into deep hurt 
unseen forces the ghost
within a second hand emotion
swallowing shadows
hellbent out of shape

Shoulders heavy 
inside its grief
Condemned to repeat itself
time and time again
polluting in the darkened depths
until it rewrites 
every wrong it has done

We are always bound 
in its dark source 
leaving unimaginable images
held like a genie in a bottle
it appears when at your lowest self esteem

The elements of beauty wither 
until a corpse remains 
twisting your mind 
pain distorting figures
The ugly truth 
of severe hurt 

Like a demon 
the shadow crawls
cold within reality
barely recognizable
unidentified as a human body 
my tunnel vision drawn 

Without a heart 
roaming among shadows
twilight of nightmares
a ghost 
from the past returns

Introducing Ambient

To distort or corrupt: It can mean
 negatively altering something
 from its normal or proper state
 like prejudice warping a person's judgment..
Playing with his words, making him understand her lingo
she then try to get him to understand how
things were and who her allegiance was with.
He had ;had several project that were failed due to certain
reasons.Finding people to take him serious wasn't easy.
They often act like they know what you are doing and understand what you are trying to
accomplish.
But in reality they are all spies and grifters.
Undermining you and taking advantage of you.
They will use you in there stories to explain there disposition.
While advance forward they will make sure you are
sent backwards toward
a point you never knew you were ever in. When people create your story using there timelines
you are often lied about to fit into a defined wording.
'The Black Hole Appeared" does the observer share the responsibility of the
Blackholes existence and is he liable do to his knowledge of
it being there? Should he quit his observance to say that stopping it is futile? Is the ration there to quit what he is doing to make those who know him think he has learned some lesson by making pretend it isn't there?

they began using coins that were never minted before to allow passage through the Blackhole.
"It saves us 22 weeks of travel how dare they not let us in!" "Where do we find thius currency?"
"Auto-Warp-Warp (defined!)Distorting,twisting and turning, manipulation of the fabric of space! Abandoned this thought this notion!"

Premium Member The Balloon Invasion

Dear Belarus  
We need a truce
From the deceptive abuse 
Balloons in flight 
We all see the commerce sight
Bringing packs of smoke  
Sounding like a crooked joke  
When they drop
Stop 
Think what they will do to our future crop
Using those former theatrical cool props  
Known to charm  
Reality doing harm
Luring youth to a picture filled with power 
Cowboys and planted flowers 
Puffing away
Later who will pay  
Believing the marketed, product to sell  
Distorting  human blood cells
Paving a pathway through hell 
Still weary  
Our other theory 
Raisin 
About this floating invasion 
Where territory gets its mark 
Sending a message in the dark
We can shoot them down 
If they do not turn around 
And go home
All alone
Pondering everything 
Especially who has the talent to sing

Premium Member Tell Me, Who Do You Say That I Am

Beyond mere folklore
Scriptures and sermons
Magnetism that love inpours 
Vibrant throb of blissful elation

As individuated God essence
Christ consciousness spark
Innate bubbling innocence
Ignites love in all hearts

Narrow mind bisects
Distorting Gods message
Divine aligned stance erect
No fears or desires to assuage

I Am that that is the causation
Of each flicker and tremor
Expansion by cessation
In breath of prayer

Love unconditional
Arms open in embrace
I Am proof of Gods miracle
Pure of heart see Me face to face

Open secret hidden in plain sight
I Am the thread binding duality
Known in compassion delight
Breath renewal in continuity 

Aglow in the cave of heart
I Am the voice of conscience 
Purring within as rapture starts
Gently imbibed by inner sentience 

Message thus simple: love alone real
God within is closer than our skin
Feeling of completeness ideal
Form vivifying bliss ignition

Premium Member Do Not Cry

Come, my friend, 
Do not cry
For
Tears blur your vision of life,
Distorting thus reality    
 
Come, my friend,
Wipe your tears and see how clearer
The world appears:
The shapes, sharper,
The colors, brighter,
The flowers, softer,
The sounds more melodious
The scents more aromatic.  

Come, my friend,
Smile and you will enjoy more 
Nature’s beauty:
The majestic mountains
The green valleys
The impenetrable forests
The mighty rivers
The endless seas.

Come, my friend,
Laugh and tell me, aren’t: 
Your pains subsided?
Your fears minimized?
Your hopes augmented?
Your doubts reduced?
Your dreams intensified?

Come, my friend,
Together we are going to face life, by:
Crying, smiling, laughing, fighting, loving,
Living, and dying. 

Come, my friend,
You are not alone anymore for I am next to you
And next to you I will stay,
No matter what may come
For
I wish to help you
So out of this adventure, that life we call, you
Victorious to emerge!

POTD


In My Spiel and Storied Telling

...dead mice thus far do gnaw, splintered mirrors
neck and rubber yet with scant regret.
Ropes both for hanging and climbing, good grief,
bad love, honey-do-dew in a salty brew.

In my closet, pockets unpacking pockets, 
string bags under closed eyes,
eulogies for the living etched on wet lips and
kitchen towels. Owls as mute as hollow urns
turn to cry their mournful why’s.

One horror story lives forever much chewed over
by skeletal moths and stray cats.
The edge of IF, the pots of peeled moonlight
guttering in a midsummer dunk, these glad me not,
yet are kept like the pickled smiles of saucy women.

In my book of lies there are truths still worth distorting,
times killed by a compulsive retelling,
fields plowed over too long
where the dead are uncovered only to dance again
on the graves of long reclining martyrs.

The drunken gallimaufry of games left unfinished,
works slackened and sent unfixed back to the 
depths from which they came. The unclaimed, reclaimed
and the unnamable named.

Yet here I am, the one person, this golden spark
in a potash smutter, still blinking my way,
a mite of light twinkling its merry pip and squeak,
while majestic wings hover 
to grab up my rash stash of self, and I say: 
yes let them yes come, and god help those wings.

Premium Member The Pool

I see a perfect reflection in 
the mirror of the pool. 
Not a breath of wind to disturb 
its clarity. 

I gaze awhile until a single 
raindrop sends ripples of 
disruption to destroy 
the perfection - 

distorting the image; 
rupturing my expression; 
deforming the shape of 
my torso. 

Another raindrop falls 
and even more so 
until the image is a blur, 
swirling, whipped up 

by the whistling wind. 
I stand by the pool 
as the storm builds; 
thunder stealthily approaching 

from behind the distant hills. 
Magnificent in its crescendo. 
Lightning flashing, 
booming, crashing. 

Then the silence 
as the storm passes. 
Wind dropped, no more rain, 
and a perfect reflection in the pool again.

Premium Member Black

I heard laughter
As if from the far end of a tunnel
The sound warbled
Distorting the sound
Making it sinister
Like the cawing of a crow
Snow forming on my brow
Infiltrating my skin
Filling up my very veins
Echoing down my arms
Reverberating down my spine
Filling me up completely
And the irony hit me
The laughter I heard
Came from my own lips
With tears running down my cheeks
As if to escape the pain
And a heart so broken
It can longer cope
So broken tears aren't enough
It's the twisted laughter
A deranged sound in sorrow
Such a desperate sound
In a desolate tunnel
Where the walls are crumbling
A burst of a bevy of colors
Suddenly dying
Everything fades to black
And what I heard
I heard laughter

Premium Member The Architecture of Ascent

It arrives not as a slow dawn, but a fracture—
A sudden, violent tearing of the gray,
Where neurotransmitters leap in manufactured rapture,
And logic bends to the blinding light of day.
It is a temporary kingdom built on air,
A frantic, soaring, breathless, desperate high,
Ignoring the foundation of despair,
To watch the mundane world dwindle and die.

The heart becomes a drum with an accelerated beat,
Distorting time until the seconds, stretch and bend,
A breathless rush, a sweet and sharp deceit,
That promises a joy without an end.
It is the apex where the self dissolves,
A chemical, ethereal, phantom grace,
Where gravity loses its hold, and ego solves,
Into a momentary, breathless, liminal space.

But at its peak, the architecture starts to lean,
For all ascension mandates a return,
The higher the flight, the deeper the machine
Must crash when the bright, burning engines turn.
Euphoria is a loan, a borrowed debt,
A fleeting, dazzling, brilliant, stolen breath,
That leaves the trembling, wakeful mind to fret,
In the quiet, cold, inevitable aftermath of death.

Premium Member And That's All

And Thats All
David J Walker
(12/16/2024)

The young girl disguised 
in mascara aged rage 
report a frayed journey 
kidnapped in time. 

How am I to remember you 
without a calendar of event 
without a program of pictures 
without a caption of laments
and itemized legers of expenditures
and renumerations ?

I know your name 
And that’s all
I know your sins 
because 
I am one of them
And that’s all

The statute of 
Lamentations 
illuminations and
Limitations 
Has long since passed
And that’s all

The young boy speaks from
The distorting mirror
funhouse mirror
carnival mirror
Into broken mirrors
Of broken glass
From times far past 
And that’s all

He was holding 
Your young  hand 
In innocence 
And that’s all
age
