Upon These Symbols of Value

LOVING MEANS BELEIVING IN LOVE
THAT IT IS NEVER COMPROMISED
TO KNOW WHO WE SHOULD LOVE
AND WHY WE SHOULD LOVE THAN
 SUCH EACH BELEIF IN LOVE IS
MEANT TO UPSCORE THE
RELATIONSHIP: BY RELATING
THE ETHICS OF LOVERS
AND THE INGRITY OF LOVE
ARE SEEN IN THE FAIRVEIW OF IT'S
PURPOSE
NEVER NEGLECTING
ALWAYS PROTECTING
ALWAYS SECURING
SO THAT IT'S ENDURING
SPOKEN IN EACH SENERIO
EACH DAY SAME
UNTIL DIFFERENT
THAN SUCH CHANGES WILL BE MET
WITH THE CERTAINTY OF NONE DIVISION
 THAT THESE BONDING PATCHES ARE STITCHED
TO STRENGHTEN
AND THAN WE ARE COVERED AND BLANKETED
TO THE WARM ADMIRATION OF OUR
OWN TOGETHERNESS


FRIEND OF MINE

Artie Mac was a hero of mine
Singing songs most all of the time 
He would never just say Hello
He'd hit you with a greeting from some Broadway show 
Man he could sing everything 
That voice divine... he was a friend of mine...
 
Saw him down town sing a cappella 
Send In The Clowns in some downtown cellar 
The Ayresome Angel from his distant youth 
Nailing those notes with a resolute truth 
A Holgate man, no fancy Dan 
That voice so fine... he was a friend of mine...

One night he's on the stage with J.T. 
I looked away but I knew he'd seen me 
Get up Lou he shouts, let's do Out Of Time 
You and me we do that real fine 
Artie and me, rock harmony 
Line for line ... he was a friend of mine...

Dying to Live, note after note 
I hear this song, lump in my throat 
Gone far too young this magical guy 
Drink in my hand, tears in my eye 
Thanks for them all, duos recalled
Time after time... he was a friend of mine...

Tribute to Artie McDermott who was a great guy, Boro fan and the best singer I ever shared a stage with.
And there has been quite a few.

Embarkation Upon Meditation

Embarkation upon meditation...

Believe me you upon manifestation
regarding Das godaddy bing linkedin
with avast cosmic consciousness
self induced light hypnotic trance
I become enthralled

unless wife disrupts intent concentration
calling out "Matt...Matt...Matt"
bajillion times Googleplex
(slight hyperbole for literary effect),
subsequently courtesy

disembodied voices
deliver poetic inspiration
without forcefully summoned,
rather gently coax (zeal lust lee)
amidst Smokey and Bandits spiritus mundi

plethora of discordant
indistinct jabbering murmurs
requiring exacting golong strategy
kickstarting coalescence regarding
faintest hint analogously harboring

shipping news a boat
reeling in catch of the day
thus, fingers snakishly
slither skitter, sidle
at greased lightning pace

across Macbook Pro laptop keyboard
feverishly unleashing
unexpected brainstorming tsunami
recalling steely apothegm
strike while the iron iz hot,

thus such epiphany occurred
moments ago - in case
ye heard "Eureka" shouted
loud, free and clear
without moment to lose

yours truly brooked
stream of consciousness
ignoring flash flood warnings
slapped down one after another
figurative pontoon bridge

all the while skirting
eddies, whirlpools, fierce whitecaps
fortunately hauling unexpected
magnificent linkedin kindled
sense and sensibility

yours truly rendered speechless
(most time non verbal when writing),
additionally hodgepodge mashup
offers no rhyme nor reason,
yet burst of pooled

imponderable gushing silent spring
(courtesy ghost of Rachel Carson)
currently did flickr
demanding immediate typing
though poetic license expired

please don't tell commission,
nor chief word den
these unpredictable eruptions
(most likely indistinguishable
turkey in the straw gobbledygook

to the untrained eye),
rather good n plenti
camouflaged indecipherable creativity
(nope, not even practiced experts
keen on esoteric etymological arts)

stymied to understand)
mine swiftly styled harry tailored
gibberish oh baying avant
(to assign long sentence  
upon Matthew Scott),

which "FAKE" premature ejaculation
incorporating poppycock mishmash
screened for your viewing discomfort
unbelievably came to this homeless tramp,
while he plodded across no man's land
with hud door hubble mojo risin.

December 17, 2008

Heartstrings tug and strum a piece of melancholy
The mind vacillates from lovely days long past
to today's bitter reality

Longing for that loving, motherly touch
Oh, so quick to get me in line when I was out.
That touch that I still thank God I had a chance to
feel and why I am missing you so much

That touch, yes, that sweet touch, so motherly
I see you working all day to only come home to clean
and cook, and still have time for us amid your tank
being on empty

Oh, how you would be so beside yourself at my baseball
and basketball games
You didn't mean any harm; you did not want your
Only son to get hurt and just a chance to hear the announcer
Say my name

December 17, 2008, was cold, cloudy and so dreary
Just as that day, my heart was cold and void of that 
radiant light that had kept me so dreamy

"Time heals all", "It gets better with time", now this is
all I've heard and all I continue to hear
Well, you all lied 'cause here I sit today and it still hurts
Like hell, brother is still trying to get in gear

December 17, 2008, I knew my life would never be the same
I tried to prepare myself and be strong but why do I feel like
Such a lame?

December 17, 2008, time literally stood still
Trying to pick up the pieces, but somehow I keep asking
Myself, "Is this for real?"

December 17, 2008: Mother Earth lost a dear queen
A woman so full of substance, strength, and love,
Yes, my dear Lorine

Premium Member DEATHBED POETRY CONTEST--ROBERT FROST

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
His language was colloquial~
     the tongue of the field hand,
          the woman hanging laundry in the wind,
               the child chasing butterflies in the tall summer grass.

He heard their music, 
     the unpolished truth
          in the rhythm of their days,
               and created poems of roads less traveled, of snow and shadow.

He spoke softly like the wind 
     blowing through New England’s sugar maples,
          the rustling of leaves that told of sap and seasons,
               of roots gripping the stubborn earth.

He wrote of that patch of old snow stubborn, denying spring,
     a metaphor worn smooth 
          yet still holding the chill 
               of a deeper understanding.

He knew this place, 
     the bite of wind, 
          the quiet conversation of the earth, 
               spoken in monotone.

His blank verse wasn't blank at all,
     but an empty canvas stretched taut,
          ready for the brushstrokes
               of a farmer's hand, a lover's lament, a child's bewilderment.

His poetic technique
     not just of form but of feeling~
          the heart beating its own iambic pulse
               in quiet New England afternoons.

He wrote with humble gratuity
     not seeking grand pronouncements,
          but the whisper of a leaf,
               the argument a woodpile makes with winter.

Life, Frost seemed to say, 
     was not a theorem to be proven,
          but a landscape in which to live, 
               each image he created a doorway, left slightly ajar.

Note:Robert Frost's last words are reported to have been, "I took the road less traveled by, and that has made all the difference." This quote, often paraphrased, reflects the themes of choice and individuality that permeate his poetry. However, it's worth noting that these words are attributed to his legacy rather than being an exact recounting of his final utterance, as he passed away on January 29, 1963. (duckai.com)


The Helm of Meanious

A HARSHNESS OF EXPRESSION
IT IS THE WINDOW THAT SHOWS
HIS POVERTY
SHAMED HE DECIDES NOT TO LOOK
IN EFFECT HE IS A DISREPUTABLE CHARACTER
 THE HARSHNESS OF HER GLANCE
SHE DECIDES TO SPEAK FOOLISHLY
TO FURTHER SEPARATE HERSELF
FROM THOSE AROUND HER
THE HARSHNESS OF HER HANDS
SPEAK OF THE LACK OF
CONCERN FOR HER BEING
TIRED SKIN
AND A MEAN LOOK
THEY OFTEN EVER SMILE
EVERY EFFECT OF POVERTY
THEY WISH TO ESCAPE
THEN THOSE WHO WISH THEM POOR
MIGHT SEE THAT THEY REMAIN POOR
OR POORER
THOSE WITH SUCH POWERS MIGHT
HAVE CAUSED THEM TO BE AS POOR
AS THEY ARE NOW
WHO'S EFFORDS MAKE YOU POOR
SPOKE THE NARRATIVE
IN SUCH NARRATION MIGHT ONE
FIND A DISRUPTION IN THEIR
OWN TIMELINE

Ah-Whoretease

HE SPOKE OF HER AS A GODESS
THEY MARVELED AT HER WAYS OF
KEEPING HIM AT BAY: IT'S SAID SHE
ONCE TOUCHED THE WATERS OF
A CREEK IN CRETE AND THE
WATER FROZE AT HER COMAND !
HE STOOD IN THE WATERS OF HETRA
AND THE WOMAN OF CRETE, WERE
ENSLAVED TO HIM.
THE STORY SPEAKS OF WORDS
 SPOKEN TO SEPERATE A PERSON
WHO WISHED FROM BEGGER, TO LOVER
SHE STOOD IN THE WATERS OF CRETE
AND CURSED HIM, AND THAN
SHE CURSED THE WATER GODS OF CRETE
AND LL WHO HEARD HER 
BECAME LOVERS OF HIM.
THE WATERS FROZE BENEATH HIM.
" THESE SALTED FISHY WATERS
 FROZE BENEATH ME!"

Life Is Knife

Life brings knife to our dreams
Injecting us with pains and dooms
For in it resides sorrows
Enclosing us in death rows.
In sadness we curse the day thou came our ways

O! Life! Why art thou so cruel?
In pains we announce the departure of our wards
O! Life why art thou so cruel?
In tears we bury innocent babies
Stinging death like venom of bees
O! Life why art thou so cruel?

How do we narrate the story of the wretched grey hair
Our old die out of a heavy heart
Thou knocked down the poor orphan
Now oppressed by the rich man
In tears he bemoans his existence
For life has stabbed him with knife

In depression we gnash our teeth
Consistently confronted, with a struggle, 
Oceans of tear, simultaneously juggle. 
Though it's short, some live it like no other. 
For some it's short but they never bother. 
Like everything else, it will end 
and we all shall one day say goodbye.

Premium Member Our Fickle Frame

Floods of pain burst, 

spreading a nest like lava beam 

Silence, 

A long silence beyond the nights, 

Pale face, languid looks and teary eyes.

The universal force of nature, 

forces our feeble frame to earth's harbour; 

Helpless, and helplessly, we consider in awe. 

Enthusiasm dissipates, and fears are enforced. 

we are here today, looking through the lenses of time; 

we'll be gone tomorrow as though we never lived 

Alas, time mocks our ambitions, 

calls us all mortals for so we are.

We are soon Gone. Leaving memories. 

Like thousands, gone ahead we come to the journey's end

We walked this path, the minds eye remembers

We lose daily until we so become, 

that moment, they come too quickly

and too quickly we are gone.
