Premium Member Seek Shelter

Seek shelter from the snow and rain;
from wind and stormy ocean waves.
Seek shelter not to be in pain;
with elements, do all that saves.

But, there's a shelter for the mind;
for it, we must become aware
of those attacks with thoughts unkind;
we must defend against their snare.

Some online sites can poison us;
entrap minds into thinking that
for love of country- should not fuss-
cause loathing it is where we're at.

Seek shelter from each misled source
with narrow values and those who
enjoy the good life- then enforce-
don't give, just take- and complain too.

And then complain that's not enough
since equity and equal spar.
Seek shelter from this mental scuff;
beneath our Flag- salute each star-

for staying safe the way we are.

Premium Member Pause Of Polarity Interchange

      “Betwixt two thoughts there is a gap”-
       That’s a function not continuous ,
        but discrete , yet to get fit.
        “No illusion therein entrap.”

       “ In the time stretched pause we can see”
          Future to nurture 
          in rue or rapture.
        Pause of polarity interchange
       Over all it’s my life to challenge
      Either to confront or to surrender.

      Empowered, enclosed by ego !
      But I will have to forego -
      to be free in open mind.
       Divine lamp to lit and glow,
         not to be extinguished !
         Perplexity, complexity , simplicity 
           not to overlap.
      “  Ego craving is a mousetrap.”

Does Love Surpass All Miracles

Everything said, everything thought and done
is stored in the subconsciousness of a memorable tune; 
a whole life was spent in search of gratification,
of that sweetheart to convert this restless dreamer
to love, to show his amorous and changeless affection
in ways that eloquently expressed the exquisite art of lover!

Does love surpass all miracles doubtingly conceived
in the credulous mind, expecting thrills and kisses
in form of heavenly bliss, or a fulfillment of greed?  
The wisher of resonant allusions was entirely convinced
to succeed with his cunning by offering petty gifts 
to entrap the feeblest heart used to sweet whispers!

Who loves the drama of a tragic end in any somber narrative? 
Of course, the joker with a hilarious and derisive laughter!
Does he care that what he says is no offense to provoke anger 
in the jeering crowd that mocks him for being insensitive?

My honor was fairly, amply given and adamantly received,
I have left no murmuring lips in suspense; dear Heaven: my honesty
wasn't derided but perceived well and sealed in their endeared memory!
Precious inamorata, love surpasses all miracles as mine did!

Line of inquiry:
“Betwixt two thoughts there is a gap
No illusions therein entrap
In the time stretched pause we then see
Ego craving is a mousetrap.”

Pause of Polarity Interchange

We build our own mousetrap
Don’t be a sap
We even hide the cheese
And then we freeze

Amazing maze with walls
Dangerous falls
We can run a distance 
With persistence

Tummies groan for cheddar
Time I fed her
But she doesn’t hold water
Ego got her

Parenthesis, a hold
Don’t get too old
Before finding way out
Follow the route

Cheddar never mattered
Only flattered
Better sustenance found
When you rebound

Miss Molly

Little Miss Molly is waiting on the stoep to trap you 
Missie who rise to ride, and show up with a smile.
Looking like a silver star that shines from afar 
Only she is looking for a baggage man.
With all her savings belonging to another man 

Don't be fooled bye Missy she is only a faling star 
Know that she is taking you on a journey to nothing in your Galaxy 
She will fade out and you will not have a star that shines no more. Where will you land but only in uncertainty and all alone and unworthy 

Looking like a silver lining ending up without any shine 
Who will find you when your star has burned out 
Disappear from your guiding light not even a sparkling light to lead your road 

All you have to do is walk in your memory of the guiding star 
Not looking at a brighter star that leads you away from your path 
You may find on I t this road is you will never find you way back and lost 

Looking like a rose and not knowing it not even a thornbush 
Her sparkle is just a fading light that burns to entrap you 
Never follow a falling star because you will never land but burn out


Premium Member Love and the Law

(a story in trochaic tetrameter)

Even a Prince must bend his knee
to the lass who has won his heart.
“Please be my bride, stay by my side
forever - tell me we shall wed.”

“My love and affections are yours,
they have never been better fed
- you are surely pleasures master,
with your rough hands and softer lips.”

“Then let us petition the clerk,
we can be wed in a fortnight!”

Sometimes love takes dismaying turns.

There are standards, some are double.
The future princess must be chaste.

The clerk asked, “Are you a virgin?”

“Do you seek to entrap us, sir?”
The prince asked, his hand to dagger.

“We cannot hoodwink the law, sir.
It must be asked and answered.”

And so the clerk asked it again,
“Would you swear on your honor miss?”

“If I had a virgins honor,”
the possible, future princess said.

The high clerk sighed and sheathed his pen.

“Most honest and least virtuous
lady, the marriage cannot be.”

“So, then the law is strictly tied
to something lost in love’s first blush?”
She asked, with no show of dismay.

“My actions follow the law, miss.”
If the clerk sounded bored, he was.

The prince, however, was outraged.
and on the verge of a salvo.

The clerk feared a soliloquy.

To stall the coming storm, the clerk
said, “I believe you KNOW the King?”

“He’s my father!” The prince revealed,
to no one’s shock or great surprise.

“The King, the law - the law, the King?”
The clerk's finger turned like a wheel.

Somewhere deep in princes mind
a dim bulb lit. “To the Castle!”

The clerk smiled wryly at the lass,
who shrugged back. Love would find a way.

Out of Touch

Like A Moth Attracted to Glow
Tethered Bonds Starved of Light Cannot Grow
Denied Accessed, Insouciant Persona At Best
I Imagined My Savior Ambivalent, 
Celibate Soul, Core Suppressed
I've never Yearned for much
Yet I Crave Your Time, Devoted Obsession,
Most of All Your Tender Touch!


You Are My Sun, I Am Your Moon
Set My Heart on Ablaze, 
Disintegrate the Gilded Cage that Cocoons Passion
Expressions and Confessions On an Inked Stained Page
Of My Timeless Mate, Tampered By Fate
I Will Wait for you While Watching the Magnolias Bloom
Or should I Await Your Comfort Before The Cold Winter's Gloom
Only for your Touch! 


Shadowy Tendrils of The Forsaken and Forlorn Fashioned to Entrap Me
My Protective Ward Shields Me Like Thorns of A Rose
I Am the Exquisite Black Star Gladiolus
Averting Possessive Desires, Sprung from the Blood of Hyacinthus!
I Reflect Strength, Perseverance and Integrity 
More than a Garden Display or Bridal Bouquet, Mahogany Sword Lily!
Tubular Attraction, Valuable My Nectar, Tender My Maroon Corolla 
So Pure yet Poisonous, Noble Masterpiece of Florists' Touch


I Am the Delicate Atropa Belladonna
Your Nexus of Pain and Passion
Your Presence Snatching My Ragged Breath
A Silenced Threat, Dissolving My Frayed Resolve
A Puzzle That Can Never Be Solved
Flesh is Fleeting, Your Efforts to Woo Me 
Ever Tireless and Intriguing, Constantly Pleading
Whispering Needs Inked, Out of My Reach, Out of Touch

Premium Member Pause of polarity '

Line of inquiry,
Betwixt two thoughts there is a gap, no
Illusions therin entrap, in the time streched
Pause we see ego craving is a mousetrap
Unseeking seeker.

In a lapse? A pause..? A slap? Of surfaces
Displacing air.' I was shocked.' By impact my mind laid bare.' Is some force; there? I
Cannot call by voice, I have decided thus that is my choice ' yet to ask in the spirit that, ephemeral lives..Where death is past.'
And heaven gives.' Gives what I question is
Life just a dream.? By the master poet who
Tends to go un-seen.' Darkness to Him is light i have read, this challenges the elemental teachings, perhaps it causes dread.? And yet He has spoken.' And i have
Heard.' In the place between reason and divination, so I wrote some words; because
He informed me..Just put something down
I will see it will happen, this universe is His one horse town.' And i have learned despite
Polaritys.' And determination of minds.' There is a place..( that you will find ) not by
Careful observation.' And ahead of spite..He will come from where He comes from.' Though you doubt? These dark nights)

Premium Member Unparalleled

Unparalleled power
Unparalleled opportunity
Opportunity of a lifetime
Opportunity to dream a dream
Dream that isn't utopian
Dream of a peaceful world
World of yours and mine
World devoid of hate
Hate for hate's sake
Hate engendered by ignorance
Ignorance by fools
Ignorance so tragic
Tragic stupidity
Tragic mess seeping deep
Deep inside the core of the soul
Deep in our hearts
Hearts that incessantly bleed
Hearts that inexhaustibly weep
Weep a river
Weep a floodgate of tears
Tears that can't be stopped
Tears that can't be hidden
Hidden for long
Hidden behind a veil
Veil of unfathomable secrecy
Veil concealing a flurry of emotions
Emotions that flow like a stream
Emotions so visceral
Visceral fears
Visceral pain
Pain no medicine could ever dull
Pain with white-hot intensity
Intensity so searing
Intensity so overwhelming
Overwhelming sense of unease
Overwhelming power
Power to corrupt
Power to entrap
Entrap anyone
Entrap me in various ways
Ways uncountable
Ways destructive to us all
All of humanity
All who live and breathe
Breathe air and life
Breathe fire and passion
Passion to fight fire with fire
Passion to fight for a change
Change!
Fire!

Premium Member Father Christ Jesus Cannot Be Trapped

In the passage before John 8:1-11
Father Christ Jesus frustrated the Jewish leaders attempts to entrap Him 
But they turned with another test: 
A woman caught in the act of adultery
They pretended in asking Father Christ Jesus for His judgment
If Father Christ Jesus declared that she should be put to death
 He would violate the Roman law forbidding the Jews to administer capital Punishment
If He freed her
 He would violate Jewish law
 As is often the case when we try to pin Eternal God down
He did something a few would have been able to predict
 Instead of answering in a man’s terms 
He answered in Eternal God’s
Father Christ Jesus encouraged the accusers to judge themselves
Before judging her and they left in shame
How many times do we see the faults of others while missing 
Ignoring our own
Jesus knew our nature
Created the Sacrament of Reconciliation to help 
What a great opportunity to remember Eternal God’s infinite mercy
Forgiving heart.
