. Ahoy the Horizon                                                  White trails behind
.        engine roaring                                            splashes applauding
.      eyes watch foam                                        never the helm
.            queries gather                                    effects on loan
.            cause forgotten                                echoed in foam
.                ripples arc out                            arrowhead widening
.                      time for fun                        don the water skis
.                  dragged behind                    a trailing spear
.                     leap side wake                surge way outside
.                       building speed            rope stretched taut
.                           flying back in        knees crouching
.                               up and over    flying with ease

.                  past now awake                steals the moment
.                  splashes settle                    meaning re-surfaces
.              reactions loosen                        perception deepens

Premium Member After the Hurricane Comes

Come what is the purpose of a hurricane
Come Storm surges destroys travel the wind rain rages on 
While in all afterwards rage  come calm
This imbalance of temperatures balance between the poles and the equators lines
Storm surges rise destroys travels the wind rain is strong
After effects now positive bacteria red tide break up
This imbalance of temperature balance between the poles and equator lines
Replenishment of barrier islands clam
After the effect positive bacteria red tide break up 
While in all afterwards 
replenishment of barrier islands comes calm
What is this purpose of a hurricane come after the hurricane calms

That's The Way Love Goes

Writer swept yon lea, loft a lane, ambled quest
efforts a muted affair bolted at wished stars
magic toils those ravenous eyes crave involved cars
trifles and trinkets mortals link to their life's vest

Amply equipped Cupid master of aims has drawn
as genteel cherubs gather about heart seekers
arrows tipped in numbing ecstasy paired squeakers
evokes the peers of Cleopatra and Don Juan

Effects the sense resisters to fathomless mirth
bathe in invigorating currents souls awash
noumenon presents a harmonious panache
outfits the united spirits, immortal worth

Yon measures reach, fantasies assumed its sources
behold while narratives reinvent ere closes
twilight falls in dawns arms of day's, then dusk poses
slack pen set, zephyrs o'er lea, lane tryst courses.

Sped Up Or Slowed

2/8/17


Straight, curvy and bumpy roads
Some with cones
All across the globe
Tools made of stones and from bones

Got to stay in the zone
Wherever I may roam and rove

Certain boards bowed
And automobiles had to be towed

Money being owed
And loaned

Waters with or without foam
And lawns that do or don't have gnomes
Regardless of if the grass was or wasn't mowed

Above and below
Where waters flow

By way of the crow
Or as it was written in an ancient tome

In areas with buffalo

Troves hidden in coves
And groves
And other places unknown

Every since way long ago
Time has shown


Tasks done alone
And on one's own

Experiments involving clones
And surveillance done with drones

Faraway and nearby home
And any other abode

Hung up the phone
If it wasn't about money, then quickly came the dialtone

Due to the weather events getting postponed

Skills and wisdom are important to hone
Whether you're full of estrogen or testosterone

Coagulated blood was found on a robe
While it snowed
The full moon glowed

Near the motherlode
Located at a node

Time seemingly sped up or slowed
Objects getting thrown away and sewed

Meanwhile the population continued to explode
In and out of areas that did or didn't errode

Old and new episodes
Information and emergency calls being radioed

Items made with many materials, sometimes chrome
Or silicone
Stadiums with or without a dome
Capable of being able to fully close

Within and beyond areas that have or haven't been combed

Better stay on your toes
Continuing to row
As the wind does or doesn't blow
Effects ripple and domino
Despite if you have or haven't chose
Because that's how life goes
Stay sharp and composed

Premium Member Fire - Joseph Wright of Derby - 1395

The fire was an obvious choice of landscape art for the painter to accentuate the effect between moonlight and smoke filled sky so dark.
A canvas illuminating the power of vivid red hot to stark.

Depicted the conditions, unbearable and the growing flames are fanned by the breeze.
The artist gives life to the power of fire creating smells and visions with ease. 

Delving into the artists intensions, we see what he wants us to see. 
Wind is an enemy and the hungry flames are shown to catch the trunks of each mighty tree.

The sky, black as choking smoke fills the air, it would be hard to breathe. 
Treetops, ablaze and what’s home to the animals had begun to wilt and seethe. 

Fast travelling flames, on the run, image denotes a smell intense, everything blazing.
The visions created, spark imagination to become amazing.
 
Sounds seem almost audible - of crackling as branches would be snapped and fall. 
The flame’s speed is amazing as brushstrokes tell it all. 

Billowing smoke, and I am sure I can smell the acrid odor of charred wood as trees tumble into ashes. 
Crimson hot flames reach skyward, and they glisten as the wild inferno flashes. 

Surely panic subdues as the ravenous effects of the fire disband.
Desolation is depicted as it traveled over the punished land.

The Intense Pounding In the Brain of My Emotions

my emotions are caught up
somewhere between here and there
your real intentions have been brought up
somewhere between fear and scare

sadness and disappointment drips off
the definition of unexpected
i resisted the temptation of greater queens 
because i thought you were the greatest

my emotions are caught up 
somewhere between here and there
your real intentions have been brought up
somewhere between fear and scare

my source of proper rest is now a
waterbed full of salty sour tears
i let so many wonderful personalities pass me by
because i thought yours was the most wonderfullest

my emotions are caught up
somewhere between here and there
your real intentions have been brought up
somewhere between fear and scare

my brain is at a place where my body 
is a mere antonym in passing
i bang my head against the wall of regret
like i have three wishes from a brick genie

my emotions are caught up
somewhere between here and there
your real intentions have been brought up
somewhere between fear and scare

now i must go on with this crazily 
cryptic feeling like i was some sort of weird pawn
the experience of it all directly effects my everyday walk
like i now have one leg shorter than the other with the world spinning

my emotions are caught up
somewhere between here and there
i wonder where your mind was with this elaborate scheme you thought up
perhaps somewhere with your brain drenched with beer and bare

Premium Member Forgotten Heroes

Since the genesis of this nation young patriots have borne the brunt of war.
To ensure the preservation of our freedoms, they've heard the cannons' roar!
Politicians send them to battle claiming 'tis in the best interests of the nation,
But, when the conflicts cease, the way some are treated is an abomination!

Many vets fight other battles when they return to the shores of this nation.
They are spat upon, called 'baby killers' and suffer many another humiliation!
Many agonized from the effects of 'agent orange' and fought to set that aright.
A reluctant bureaucracy agreed there was a problem and finally eased their plight!

Alas, too many forgotten heroes are homeless and dwell wherever they can,
Yet the government seems to provide ample succor for the illegal alien!
The powers that be finally realized there is a problem with post battle stress.
After years of debate they avowed, "Maybe it's a matter that we should address!"

Others have been carried from the battlefield wounded in body and soul.
So very much we owe these brave men and women who've played their role!
Are we minding Lincoln's pledge to those who've borne the din of strife,
To care for him, his affairs, his orphan and his bereaving wife?

I have a message for all politicians that is very loud and clear!
Why is our blood and treasure always at the tip of the spear!
If you don't want to care for our vets, then don't make any more!
Stop policing the world and keep our youngsters out of war!

Premium Member Deep and Full and Sustaining

Joyfulness is such a lovely feeling
a character that's so very appealing
meeting it in another person
draws you into its magical fold

It's an experience hard to describe
deep deep down right inside your heart
filling you right up to the very brim
feeling like overflowing in no small part

When you experience this joy
it takes one to a higher plane
flying away above such humanity
then the joy defeats all its slain

The originator of this sustaining effect
God sovereign and creator of all
this joyfulness comes down upon here
from heaven with Jesus on free fall

One of the promises from Jesus
to send His comforter here below
that joyfulness be planted deep within
like all good rhyme, it'll simply flow

(This is written about the appeal and value of being joyful and the effects of can have upon you.)

Mahatma Gandhi

He is my role model
His life, an inspiration to me

Did some research on him
Since then am in awe of him

Empath at heart,
he dedicated his life in selfless service

Saw teeming millions without dress
Wore a simple dothi like them

Wherever he found people suffering
Took up their cause, fought for justice

Knew scriptures well, was therefore
always good in words, deeds and action

Was aware we are accounted for our karmas
Would not sin whatever may happen

Britishers beat him, jailed him
He never did tit for tat

Was against partition, knew its effects
Advised others to reject it
Power hungry politicians did not hear
Its consequences stand before us 

When India gained independence
Nehru invited him to attend the ceremony
He refused saying how can I celebrate 
When my brother's and sisters are suffering

During post partition communal riots
He walked bare foot all over country,
 helping all, rquesting them to maintain 
peace and communal harmony

He was firm in his beliefs
Practicing what he preached

All his movements like swadeshi, 
abolition of untouchability, 
salt satyagraha were for masses

If all became like him, nonviolent,
selfless, and worked for the 
betterment of everyone around
world would become a better place to live
