Time Enough

in our measure of time 
there are curious circles filling our days, 
numbered moments marked by the scars of transiting lights, 
heavens moguls of tribulation 'n plight, 
that give or take away --

the indifference of time that measures man, 
in cycles round 'bout heavens span, 
meted out in lines that grid the world 
in constant sorrow, Saturn stuttered, 
disappearing today in some further loss of tomorrow, 
yet we also know that ticking clocks in circles go, 
'til time enough for love is lost to reasons chains and at what cost;

the God of Time in cycles go, around, about, a-circling slow, fast re-turned, 
they come, they go, there's time enough for love you know.

though I spend my time, 
scanning the horizon with my mind's eye, 
seeking the curve of her Venus belt, 
a circumference of sunset reds spanning the sky, she is on the face of it, 
a timeless piece, a swinging pendulum of rhythms sway, 
a clock that circumscribes my day, 
and in the sanctity of the night, rolling 
on a sweat-slippery field of red-ocher bliss and
kissing with the same kiss, it's just then
 as I watch her rest,
         

               time stops

                     and takes my breath away


Welcome To the Real World NZ

We thought we were better than the rest,
That somehow we were more special,
And others only should pay the price,
That we were too peace loving,
For a Terror attack to dare to disrupt the ebb and flow here.

The recipe for disaster is the same everywhere,
First let a person isolate themselves from reality,
To let imaginary wounds fester,
With no friends to sooth their troubled brow,
What else can one expect,
But a ticking time bomb.

There is nothing left now, now but to pray,
That we can keep our comments light,
And our humanity to the fore,
As we look for doors and windows to open,
And more welcome mats to place in front of doors.

I Listen

I'm listening
I get an ear full
My ears they are ringing
I hear your words
Charmed I see visions
I scheme - visualizing
The ocean waves they roar
Caps they flutter
Sand washes up on the shore
The storm it thickens
Trembling the floors
Skies they are dark
Calamity sets in
The dreary scene depresses
My mood now expresses
No sun in sight
No gaze of the hues of a rainbow
I have no iris
Still I see light
Dull dreary daylight
I see a tunnel
Soon it shall lift
And up my spirits shall be
The storm I see
I soaked each wave
You now hear me?
I am a shell
The ocean storm you hear
Up to your ear!
Bewildered
I am of sense
Be the waves as they were
I was!   Hence
A silent listener.

Premium Member Bible Stories

You came down to us 
 From out of the mist

 You descended upon us
    We called you God

  We bowed down to you 
 You came from another time
  Realms from another time

  From the stairways to heaven
 You were sent to watch over us
  You became voyagers in time

 You could not resist the female form
   One day you descended upon us

  You mated with our females 
        And we liked it 

     We liked it so much 
   We gave birth to your babies

  And now I hear you returning 
  From off in the distant realms

There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare [children ] ...


To Look At You

To look at you…  by Steve Hudson

Woman come alive at my touch
Respond to the caress of my hand,
Be yourself and more,
A mystery shrouded in wonder you are,
Surrounded in deep love and beauty,
I pursue you in fearless abandonment
Giving you my all
Captured by your eyes, your hair,
The curve of your body in sensual pose,
You were designed to draw me in,
Into the place of togetherness 
To live as one in physical, in spirit and emotion,
Let it not be at my hand, the downcast of
Your disposition, 
Let it not be at my hand the ordinary way of living
Nor the routine of every day boredom
But adventure and passion at every turn,
Embracing this union in daylight,
The way we embrace each other in the throughs of ecstasy at night,
Noble creature, delicate and bold
Take this hand today,
The way you took it yesterday,
And let us walk in sacred unity for the Glory of tomorrow.

Premium Member Dizzy--

Old fellow, so mellow;
Heads spinning
Don’t remember
This September (what)
Got an appointment
His divorcement been approved
He’s an old white haired dude!!!

some say he’s from I- O-WAY
Just across Ne- Brass- Ka by OmaHA
Got a old Plymouth 1962 Valiant
License plated: I O wa State;
Dressin overalls his ID says Paul stalls
But the pictures don’t match
My Grandma says he’s quite a catch
Name on the driver’s license says Lenard Sparks 
Will you look at that hat what a sight?
And them there overalls are too darn tight…

But he doesn’t remember his real name
At 84 he just meanders;
Dementia, what ya say
What cha takin bout hey
The white haired man
With the turnt up mouth
Never been a winner
Heart beat flutters in a tizzy
Folks on the block just calls him DIZZY

Never been a winner, since the beginnings beginner
Old fellow, so mellow heads spinning doesn’t remember
Heart beat flutters in a tizzy

Premium Member Wounded Whisper

 
"A whisper stirred my mind, my heart and my soul: 
And led my footsteps down a silent path: To a door
at the end of a garden: And reaching out I opened it."

                                              Quote by _Constance

In my head there has always been chatter,
since a young girl I can hear voices call and-  sigh:
with rhythmic beating-    and pitter-patter,
for beloved dead I can see within my mind's eye !
Oh, heart and soul is wounded and stained:
and grief and sorrow pour onto pages bloodstained !

And each bleeding wound is who I am,
once broken, battered, shattered- now humbled:
and  I am strong not a weak little lamb,
yes, at times I crumbled, tumbled and stumbled !
But, if real quiet I can hear mom sing:
and sense the soft fluttering of her angelic wing !

5g

1G, 2G, 3G, 4!
Keep the wheel spinning
We have to have more, more, more!

GENERATIONS, GENERATIONS, give us more, I say
How about 5?
This is what we need: fast, faster, fastest
Ooooh! Now we are alive!

More ready access for swift swiping
One through four were great but 5 is living

Dead to the incontestable reality
Just an illusion, all this fancy glossed over technology

Old and watered down, just mere reflections of Ancient Kemet
Now, what is all the hoopla for when health is compromised and 
COVID-19 is in it?

Birds and bees sucker punched and disoriented with 3 and 4
Now, man is practicing social distancing because of ignorance and a want—what an evil conjuring like never before

MADNESS, MADNESS spinning all around
From China to Italy and America, no tissue, Lysol or Doritos can be found

STOP! Unplug from this insidious darkness
AWAKEN! Plug into sweet luminousness

Premium Member Never Was I a Slave

Never was I  slave physically 
Yet could I be the one a Slave 
"mentally economically and socially sinfully"
 I have a headstone prepared a placement 
On my grave site yet I'm not dead 
No not yet all of this is prepaid for free set 
I am so selfish though I don't want to die physically so a
And be placed beneath the ground in my grave
 I want to see Jesus come down from the sky 
I want to be one of those few alive
To see my Jesus come down
Never was a killer yet my words could injure 
Those aren't expecting those in need of protecting 
Never was a slave yet I have been ill-behaved
 I've done Humanity's wrongs I've lied I stole from 
Need now I ask for forgiveness now that was a slave to my sins 
Yes asleep to sins until Jesus came 
Along and He freed me now, now I'm born again

Thank you Father God 
Amen
