God, Unbolt His Heart

In the morning, innocent lamb left the farm 
Behind his master, moved to the meadow
A treacherous chapman loomed him
In his purity, he listened to chap’s distorted words
As sweet as honey, they lead him astray his master

Naively, guiltless lamb was led into a deep hole.
Up and down, lamb looked; this is life as well.
He sat in the fleapit all day long like a mole
But never thought of a dump but another dwell  
Mother sheep baabed to lamb’s deaf ear in hell.

Lamb’s meekness has been exploited to death
And in the deep hole, safe he believes he is 
As time comes, he’ll be on knees to look up 
For God to unbolt his mind and unclutter his ears 
To remember many hearts, he has snubbed. 

Poem by Mugisho N Theophile


Are we all mysteriously Sinful?

Title:

Are we all mysteriously
Sinful?

(A lone voice whispers)

In the beginning 

Did you secretly 
Walk like a curious
Enigmatic Charles Darwin

Looking
Whilst
Lost in Youth

Seeking The Meaning of Sin

To clandestine dark places where

Angels
Without harps 

Profusely lambast and
Sing

Searching
Through concealed ancient manuscript and treatises

Seduced by Mistresses and Masters

Of Seductions

By their ever-changing winds
And rhymes

And now 
Are you still covertly
Only understood 

By a select few

Riding your Pale Horse
Tempestuously

Through lost
Biographies of Old Beliefs

Always on the lookout for engagements

A means to sometimes
Circumvent dark
Carnal release

Or are you still drinking Cool-Aid

From the Matrix’s ever spinning
Propaganda's machine

As the Cosmic Serpent
Of your own Apocalypse

Approaches with such devious guile

Heralding a new divine invasion

Of your own United Nations

So you still dwell in
A new vision of Gilgamesh

Wallowing in previous dark memories of
Sins

Of old encounters and embraces

Of its sensuous
Flesh

Or are you a new lost Nikola Tesla

Lost in the folds of deep personal histories

Overwhelmed
With impropriety and greed

Still seemingly held in check

By fingerprints of
Memories Old Gods

But still always courageously

Praying silently to the skies

Trying to save
Your soul

Always praying someone
Hears you and your deeds and comes down 

To intercede

Anima Mirror

When was the last time I looked in the mirror
   only to look into eyes that I felt were not mine?

  They were two dark dots which held a glimmer
   of an empathy and caring which is unlike my nature.

  Looking more closely at that glimmer staring back at me
   I see a part of my being that could only have come from Mom.

  She had that glimmer in her eyes everyday of her life
   a legacy which she passed on to her daughter and sons alike.

  Soft, gentle, caring, sharing the love she had for me as her child
   her motherly complexion reflected back in the glimmer I see.

  What other gifts are part of the legacy of this feminine heritage?
   Is this the reason I am able to love with abandon my own family?

  I cannot dwell on this moment of realization that I am part female
   as Dad is also here, strong, muscular, but with the same love for me.

  Sharing a life of caring for a family which they have made together
   I am grateful for both parts of the nature which I see in that mirror.

  They have made me who and what I am to all I know, meet, and love
   Especially to HIM from whom all things come.

The cart of time carries me along the ordained path 
from the listless life rooted in the threshold of present
to the desolate wilderness where I was once.
That’s the fading past receding away fast,
waiting  to get abandoned and obliterated. 

Lying in the shadow’s edge of the furtive future, 
creating the convivial flood of copious craving, 
inundating the lavish landscape of my ornate life,
I dwell in the fancy desire domain of perpetuity 
with the deathless dream of delusive longevity.

I perceive the pulsating memory undying
reside in the remote recess of the passionate past,
where the beguiled bird of my love for life 
soars in the seamless sky of my sensual present,
wings of hope flutter to fly past the future horizon.

I drift to the certain end with the immortal soul,
floating entranced in the sublime sea of eternity
with winds of love blowing on impermanent sail.
I yearn to get from the divine time for my life 
the treasured magnanimous gift of longevity.

Valleys of Lucidity

Sweet smells 
of musky green love
hang high in the ceiling 
   close to were we are 
an altitude high 
hazy still state 
laughs of swellness rain down 
close to where we never dwell, sober and unswayed

              it's hard to stand still in the rain

 but heavens bliss is a blanket of innocence 
red view in the rear view -lights flash 
sweet bird softly land
     birch blue is anew as life is 
aglow, aglow,  aglow
all around me 
is all I know 
please don't tell me I should go
outside it is getting late 
policeman listen don't you know

people grow old waiting on their own lives to unfold

I want answers to loosen their hold on secrecy 
let them dance with me
waltzing away
a ticket that's crisp as autumn is handed to me
last of him I hope to see, on to another steep fall into valleys of lucidity

Premium Member Angelic Butterfly - a Collaboration With Heidi Sands

She arrived on the wings of a butterfly
 But left with wings of an angel, soaring ever so high
 She’s found heaven's glory in which to dwell
  I know that she is with love and doing well

  Her laughter still floats on a summer breeze
 And tears still fall with the rain
 And butterflies still flutter with delicate ease
  Where flowers bloom and happiness reigns

 She held my hand, running through the fields
 Brought me safety with her protective shields
 Then called me often crying out to me
  When I was restricted from her, not allowed to see

  But, she left with wings of an angel
  To a far better place than here
  Her memory is my cherished souvenir 
   Bright light shines on her, where she has no fear
                          ~~~

Premium Member No Limits This Year--2021




They dreamt at midnight of the 31st, that life,
Would somehow magically transform?
That somehow, beautiful fairies on gilded unicorns, 
Could bring them back to days of bubbles, joy and laughter.

Ah, but money and power had instituted a life of strife!
They clinked expensive glasses of champagne as 'twas the norm.
Never once noticing they wore striped-followers uniforms!
Prisoners, all, sons and daughters.

Some drank far too much, to drown the depth of strife.
But these souls, next day would still bow, behave and conform.
Never regaining their freedoms, through silly jokes and laughter!

They would have to start reading, works filled with freedom, rife!
And create a massive,  international freedom storm.
To regain, what indeed was theirs, fearless is speech and pen,that 
day and forever after!


All in essence, to have an intelligent world, we must strike!
Say NO to fear and Propoganda, go against all the norm.
Then, next year to twirl, with fear gone, dwell in the halls of freedom
with our children's feet, tapping pitted-patter.

Premium Member - Begging Sunlight -

A yellow song about autumn
Leaves falling slowly 
May nature embrace me gently

Birds mixing tunes 
Of such ecstatic sound 
Rising a sweet melody 
Creeds and song carried with the wind
in the highest tempo

Kissing one heart priceless gold
Crossing bridges and mountain majesty of the world
Rustling softly breathless whispers treasure
Most quiet need, by autumn sun and candlelight

Like sweet thoughts in a dream
Dazzling of wonder as magical charms
floating flutters gently on a breeze 
Delightful day it is for all who dwell
delicately blown upon warm sunlight rays 

The sumptuous yearning of summer that left
Breathtaking feeling dance circles around
Viewing elements and seasons as they change
Deeply touches embracing beauty inside 
Into the dawn's early and tender caresses
You stand in front of the sun 
morning dewdrops upon your vision

Insanity

All my life's a circus
    where clowns still dance on my brain
    where elephants fly and tigers get high
     by now your surely insane.

    The retarded goat sippin a rootbeer float
    started belting out a familiar tune
    It had to do with his girlfriend Sue
     and a rather horny baboon.

    You're up on the tightrope and begin to fall
      as the ringmaster calls your name
     You hit the ground and look around
      and wake up on a plane.

     You land in the tent where the 
      circus freaks dwell
     but beware of what they might steal
      your hanging around upside down
      and fall mentally ill.

     Your friends are all gone
     and your left all alone
     for life has been a game
     You turn on the tube and watch something crude
     as you slowly go insane!
