The Merchant Ship

Deep ocean of azure blue

Overhead seagulls circling flew

In constant motion, heaving sides

The old merchant ship upon it rides

Rust scorched it's barnacled coat

Salt encrusted railings forever afloat

On the horizon's sinking sun's amber glow

Beckons enticingly along the flow

New moon appearing from out of the west

Silvery waves splintering against foamy crest


Figures emerging from the hold below

Peering skywards at the star studded show

Then into action to each their appointed task

Some heaving ropes, others mounting the mast

All working together to achieve one aim

To secure the sails aloft the bounteous main


A rumble of thunder and a flash lightening sound

Mountainous waves gather pace all around

Working in unison the crew now complete

All tasks meritorious as a well drilled fleet

A shout from the Captain, as the thunder roars

Urgently gesticulating "secure the oars"

Rain clashing as in sword play 

Freeze drench they stand

As they see the top sail rend


Now all secured they disappear down

Below decks they ruminate

All worrying, no sound

Then vocal in assumptions from mate to mate

Until the Captain shouts "Silence no need for this din,

I shall calculate our bearings, now where to begin?"

Spreading out his charts he clears cups for a space

Each man concentrating, deep intent on each face

"Look Captain", one points "there's the Cape of Good Hope

enough time to manoeuvre and with luck stay afloat"


The temperature plummets and the crew mill around

No warmth except mittens and blankets draped around

The storm is abating and two bells is called

As each man takes turn to pump until hauled

Buckets of water overboard they keep on

Clearing sea water over gunnels, until all is gone


Ship breaking water all in it's wake

No matter the weather only headway to make

Dolphins leaping and diving below

Thoughts turn to seamen of long ago

Royal Navy Standards, a jolly jack tar

Plotting each course by the Northern Star

Pirate vessels hoisting their skull and crossbones

Biting winds moaning and pelting hailstones

Sailing ships with elaborate sails

Above the wind, sailors hearty hales

Anchorage sought and a comfortable berth

Homeward port reached and feet on the earth.


Voices

VOICES”
 
There are voices crying out loud screaming for help in the wilderness
In need of spiritual healing Im uncertain if anyone else even notice or are they hearing them
They are lost and broken draped in total despair
Thirsty spiritually starving in famine visually impaired
Chewed up and swallowed by the noxious cracks of the asphalt
After relentlessly roaming the undefeated streets
Blind tunnel vision in survival mode they could never compete
 
Devoured by the trauma in life they simmered in their bottomless pits of defeat
Mis-led by lack
Neglected in lax they would impulsively react
Wearing careless unnecessary consequences across their backs
Immune to daily afflictions
Their paradise was the hood that they live in
Tragedy, Poverty, Hustling, Guns, Death
Fatherless figures oppressed
Driven by currency as the enemy put them to its test
 
In their minds streetlife is the only life I know mentality dressed
Our young minorities are now the soldiers on the front lines making ruckus
Enticingly introduced to straps they’re lost their focus
Juvenile bred hitman so the stiff felonies wont stand a chance
How can we reach and assist them to cope with their voids
Without any possibilities of hope how could we approach
The lost and broken toys
 
Thats in the wilderness making all that noise
How can we manage their self-sabotaging outlets of addictions
Whats healing and fixing
The abusing distributing or using
 
Premeditated death dates
Suicidal temptations another form of escape
The mind is a battlefield and its hard to find peace in the midst of confusion when life on life terms get real
So their reality is only an illusion in the midst of their confusion
 
I hear voices crying out loud in the wilderness
And I pray that someone reach them in enough time to heal them
Before this lurking evil kill or steal them
Lets be the beacon that guides them toward the light
Exposing them to a more significant purpose
Oppose to living life so reckless and worthless
Expressing to them that all things are possible with a reach
You can find your significance by defying the odds if you just stop and listen to the words that the redeemer speaks
 
A change will come
Even with gradual progression we all will eventually overcome and make it to our real paradise up in heaven

CHAKRAS BOLD

CHAKRAS BOLD

HE designed root red via 
a laugh so raucous creating 
world wild rumbling random 
rubies rolled ruling red
thunderous winds whirling 
shimmering shocking floods 
Emperor Supreme spearing 
stimulate Mother channels 
birthing babes to cuddle 
sword sheath bloody 
red is my beneath ! 

HE designed my womb 
occult oracle orange  
oceanic openings obliging 
receive that which swims
into the deep to hear
obituaries or observe
creation’s octahedral 
cathedrals octaving to 
behold bold olive and oak
OM is where I rest divine 
operatic orange sublime 

HE designed my navel
with its surrounds golden 
solar yellow mighty ignite
magnetise miracles for
better sight savouring 
power for hours exuding
fires roaring pouring will
enduring strength for miles
and miles adoring gold
burnished bold plexus 
platinum yellow nexus

HE designed my Heart 
full blown DaVinci art
Picasso could not compete 
green moss spring soft
therein pirouetted daisies 
in swirling whorls fading
Mozart’s maddening 
crescendoes crying
veils upon veils to
enticingly whisper
‘Come, bride, come’

HE designed my throat
a singing topaz blue
so true to cobalt hues
anew each teal 
dolphin silent sprang
Truth trout sighed 
sky blue signal smoke
softly sowed sweet
royal kaleidoscopes
herald harmonic hopes  
pop songs wrote 

HE designed forehead a 
deep indigo isle circled 
in vintage fashion
twisted ivy presented 
EYE of all eyes an
empress ringlet ruffle 
to and fro pondering 
pupils so deep diving 
turbulent storms to keep 
in comfort who adores 
my adorings roly holy

On my head Valentine 
Supreme valanced a 
valuable vortexed venture 
vaned a thousand petals
a halo not exposed to 
winged shadows shady
so my wondrous wispy 
wisdoms you may emit 
from this lotus crown fast 
feather ferns fathom to
fit fetish dream atoms 

O ! Lord of Lords !
in red orange gold
green blue indigo
white to sight heights 
I bathe in your colours 
behold arms embrace 
so chaste to post my
poems in coloured 
posies haste so 
comely these chakras 
choralling

....Stealing Souls....

Hues of a darker shade, cascading across skies of illusion....

Evaporating waterfalls, of lustful desires and want

Brought forth amid fairytale words, from within fantastical thoughts

And I thought, shall I sell my soul, for their very own, desperate and lost?

I would rather smile at the stars, and, walk away from it all!

Then to ensnare myself within satans lies and delusions....

Of disappearing phantasms, that shall never see the light

Beyond these shadows of alluring and enticing, beguile

Cloaked in the dripping blood, red, of eternal fate

How precious and colorful, vibrant the flower seems to grow....

Before the desperate eyes, cast, into the darkness' chambers

As it whispers its soothing, and wistfully wanton assurances?

While sprinkling its fabricated moondust, upon these emptying souls....

Walking through this mystic wonderland of waste

Wherein shadows beckon and call, dangling their dreams of desirable

Treasures and promises, that their blackened hands, could never truly hold

Except, in these fantasies of tomorrows nothingness....

While singing these songs of hopeful yearnings, that they, shall never know!

Perishing, within the firey flames, that engulf, their abrasive sight
 
As pretending to be more, than satans very own, offspring

Stealing lives and shattering souls, with lovely portraits that sound

So ambitiously sweet, until, reality comes, to carry them forever away....

Not upon spectacular prisms of golden rainbows, or endless oceans, of emerald blue tides

Nor, glittering cosmic trails of stardust, which encircle, their gasping final breaths!

But within rushing rivers of sorrows crimson, cold....

Trading their eternal paradise, for a fairytales devisable fantasy, sold

To a ghost of sugar laced words, spoken, enticingly, from the tombs of a corpse

Pretty thoughts and pretty things, created, by the prince of hell, himself!

Premium Member Decadent Proposal

She senses before she sees
The manicured nails - the elegant fingers
Holding out the hundred dollar bills - enticingly - so temptingly
A generous nights takings of busking here
In one proffered hand
She grabs at it petrified it might be an illusion
Evaporating in a puff of smoke

Fingers hold it back, teasingly
Compelling eye contact
She looks up sceptically 
Dark eyes meet her aqua blues, sparking a sort of affinity
‘Eyes are the window of one’s soul’- so it is said in all sincerity
But the magnetic dark eyes of her enticer are fathomless in their intensity

His type she has encountered before - money for favours
Well she is no novice - a living after all - a girl has to make
And his generous offer rivals his devilish good looks
But she senses a darkness favouring the energy emanating 
A cold shiver runs through her veins like someone just walked on her grave
Fear ripples down her spine akin to a stroking finger chilled in ice

The spell he casts foreboding
The calmness of the night has taken flight
In its haste to set the macabre scene
Mesmerising are the eyes that bore into hers
Projected thoughts furtively slip into her mind
Infiltrating it like a slithery snake
Bringing with it forbidden thoughts of desire
She falls into the inky black abyss
Succumbing to heady dark passionate conceptualization

However the chilling message is coherent
This is not a mere opportunistic one night stand
That he desires
This is more - so much more
This is taboo concupiscence unleashed

This is her life in exchange for what?
Her life for immortality?
Surely not!
Yet his eyes eloquently convey it all
The hunger so unconcealed - so transparently flagrant
To yield to darkness
Satisfying his appetite for
Death of a different nature?
Obliteration of life as she knows it to be
Tenebrous Immortality in exchange for her blood
A prelude to his finale of taking her soul
And then a metamorphosis 
From Prey to Predator

Antilegomena

by Michaelw1two

Antilegomena, a direct transliteration from the Greek, refers to written texts whose authenticity or value is disputed


Exclusion, the reasoned gist, of this nation’s present trends,
revised, reworked, reworded, towards what particular ends;
enticingly so, provision’s rend, unseemingly my thought’s portend,
nonresonant replies to this crude haste, that truth, secrecy prepend.

Importance and what is valid truth, appears to earn no worth,
where written words once applied some proof, the dillies dallied smirk;
neither, nether, needling needs, advanced by domineering corporate jerks,
suggestion’s jest, provides resounding tiff, to amerika’s dullard’s mirth.

Warrants placed, once trusting bets, that each participant did solemnly swear,
initiating this allegiance, of god, country, and family, now thinly veiled veneers;
trusts bygone, a new age sprung, brought forth by the froth of fomenting profiteers,
profound indeed the implication’s seed, the mass of US conceded to fascist engineers.

Loss does bleed indifference, no more is war progressed as an ending game,
gains make all the difference, whether or not humanity realizes the awful shames;
books of words work worries wonders, where secrecy imbibes each thought profane,
cooked are the truths of imperialistic ruse, the few coerce the masses, that’s insane!

Historically, when gain was king, the impoverished arose and took off their heads,
asking naught but parity’s bless, enough for each, and for return to Eden’s gifts;
however, truth is apparent and graciously so, only loss will return US from the dead,
soulless few who profit so, must be decimated, before healing our country’s rifts.

Currently, the status held, that wicked men and wayward wars yet steer the helm,
from my individual position, these truths stand tall as does the 'mouse that roared';
these few who seek to hide these truths, we all know the master of their realm,
bargain not remove this lot, words wrote long ago, remind US of the peril or reward.

Premium Member Interview With a Skipping Stone

I saw you bump bump bumping along,
making little ripples on the lake,
and now I’ve dove into the water
to find you, but many stones are here.
Which one, recent skipping stone, are you?

It is I. I have found myself
submerged in this liquid cool of blue. It’s so strange.

And how, may I ask, does it feel
to be inside this new environment?

The ground down here is unusually soft and sticky.
I can only compare it to how my old home felt
when rain poured down on me and fellow pebbles
But rain is extremely rare here.
It seemed like we lay for eons on our heated beds
close by this lake that shimmered
so enticingly before us all our days.

I saw you picked up and skipped
across that enticing lake you speak of.
How did it feel to be uprooted from your home
and forced so abruptly away from
all you’d ever known?

I had rarely felt sensations of movement before.
I moved a bit when human feet happened to tread on me.
But to be picked up and hurled so far from my home
was the most exciting moment of my life!
Several times I hit upon the lake’s smooth surface
until I sank into its cool blue depth.
To my surprise, I found myself surrounded
by others of my kind!

Yes, many of you have been skipped or even tossed
with no finesse at all into this lake.
Let me ask you one more thing before I leave.
Would you like for me to rescue you
from your current situation?

Thank you kindly, but since arriving here,
I have been made to feel very much at home.
Creatures swimming above me are fascinating to see.
I’ve made new friends, and they tell me
the temperature down here is always cool.
In desert’s heat is sometimes got so insufferable.
I quite enjoy my new situation.

So you will stay here in this muck forever more . . .

Yes, I feel soothed here. Maybe it’s my paradise.
Not only do I accept my fate,
I embrace it fully.

Premium Member Romany Gypsy

With flashing eyes she did enthral
as to the beat of drums she danced
a wild flamingo with clacking castanets
her wide hooped skirt was all a-swirl

Golden earrings sparkling and flashing
heels looking impossibly high as she twirls
her eyes flashing enticing messages 
as the men flock to her a mocking laugh

Siren of the senses as well she knows
she taunts and teases as she grabs hold
only to push her admirer head over heels
leaving him stunned and dazed in the dirt

In a puff of smoke she vanishes from view
long rolls of drums call to her to come back
the men look in vain for her return
a soft voice enticingly calls from the shadows

Singing of long journeys to far away exotic places
of caravan wheels swishing and of horses gavotting
of smokey camp fires bristling with full cauldrons
no clue to what lies within just enticing smells

She tells of lovers she has known in distant past
entreating the men, who try their luck to no avail
she sits brushing her long raven black hair of curls
and the sparks fly giving her an ethereal appearance

The fires die low and still she has not yet chosen
it seems she is waiting for someone not now here
flashes of lightening fork across the sullen skies
and the skies open in deluges of rain and thunder

As her admirers scatter seeking shelter she laughs
spinning round and round hair flying out scattering
droplets that glisten and sparkle in pale light
at last she crumbles done to the sodden ground 

A mighty flash of lightening rends the sky in half
highlighting a jet black horse rearing up high
she runs forward laughing he is here, he has come
her gypsy king, he swings her up before him and turns

As the summer storm fades the last fork shows
the two lovers high-lit on the rolling hill
then gone, gone to their secret place of tryst
she leaves lingering memories in men's minds of what might have been

As I Paddled the River Nile

As I paddled the river Nile
I met a monstrous crocodile. 
She smiled at me enticingly.   
I smiled deferentially.  
Through large white teeth to me she said, 
"I want you in my river bed." 

"We are not acquainted enough
for such intimate, tasteless stuff," 
I cried.  A hippopotamus 
opined, "Hey, we're amphibious. 
We're inclined to romp through marshes; 
come, let's crush some reedy rushes." 

I paddled hard away.  The Nile 
now swirled by rapidly awhile
to the sea.  There where its two brinks 
grow apart it flows past a sphinx 
who lies prone and thinks endlessly 
deep thoughts about eternity. 

For eons and eons his mind 
thought thoughts about how to unbind 
gravity from mentality    
throughout universality, 
that we might freely float;  
no more need to paddle my boat.  

Unfortunately, he has no gumption 
to follow his least assumption; 
but we do chat on fluently
of, to wit, stuff way beyond me 
like hieroglyphic-ally writ 
papyri.  When he will not quit 

I wander alone to a tomb 
where lies Cleopatra, of whom 
each schoolgirl knows; how her last gasp 
came as she clasped to breast her asp. 
Grasp that story's significance
twixt geometry class and dance.

Whilst she patronymic-ally 
reigned, a most royal Ptolemy; 
she told Marc, "My new last 'nym' now'll
be 'Anthony'."  This, post her roll 
out, quite nude, from Julius' rug.  
His offer of sex met her mere shrug.  

I stood amid a pyramid 
or three and pondered where they hid, 
these pharaohs, all their treasury. 
Was power or mere pleasury 
their true architectural plan? 
To ever tell, no pharaoh can.  

These writs I write as my boat drifts
midst original hieroglyphs 
through the Mediterranean.  
I don't need a librarian  
to see, no sociology 
compares to Egyptology.

In vivacious luminous 
landscape of luring longing, 
desire sculpts dream,
spreads spectrum of ardor 
in sapphire sky,
fervor floats on cloud,
shaping sensual crave,
          charismatic.
Spring-soaked beguiled brush 
paints passionately 
murals of rapture
on convivial canvas,
of my heart
           ebullient, 
portraying the panorama 
of lilting life,  
           adroitly.

In cracked cinnamon 
ground fallow,
dry as dune,
parched to the core
in depth of seared soul, 
my deserted essence
          desiccated,
filled with forsaken sand,
spilled discarded
from abandoned hourglass
           demolished, 
pervades to abhor 
the faded dreams 
of fallen foliage 
            fragile, 
its rustle echoes
in twilight terrain,
as rhythm of mirage
migrates enticingly with 
hymn of halcyon hope,
          momentary. 
            
Weary eyes weep 
torrent of tears within,
fill oasis of pathos,
concealed pining cauldron 
overflows unrestrained
ephemeral streams,
designs melancholic mosaic,
cataracts to nowhere,
disappears in vale of anguish,
etching motif of dream,
             deluding.
Forlorn life’s 
remnant distillate 
remains designed 
with the contours 
of eroded banks 
of marooned mind,
            dwindling.

Cascading cadence
of captivating yearning
composes in reverie 
symphony of fervent breeze 
            surreal,
drifting with dust of sanguinity
            buoyant,
from yonder plateau 
of primal impulse 
to float paper boats 
of craving fantasy,
rolling on ripples
of melodic love 
of my heart’s lilac lagoon
            boundless,
pulsating in endless ecstasy
with concerto of euphoria,
           esoteric.
