Star Cry Answer Me

I am but shooting star …a comet 
my shimmering trail flows 
over your fine line… strings
the music 
of your powerful pull 
like black ink ...absorbing
landing me
my heat falls on you
                    …and I become your corona 
a fiery picnic feast lit up around your cool as mid night flesh

Tomorrow
I will awaken full bright as hearth come to life for dinner’s fixing
                              for you… for you

I feed your flesh
You feed my soul 

and in so ...bursting forth…I feel as if I am God himself
                           …unleashed in love 
and fully draping upon the pain of the entire world 

I am ...but the desert of your dream’s feast
I am yours alone…naught but an existential dream

I am a black bird in flight...dip dancing 
on the silver edge of this magnificent night
                               ...suddenly white

Come with me into the envelope of the universe 
we will fold and fold and fold again 
into a being of one
and be the very vibration 
of being
…the we
             we are the perfect note.

Premium Member Purple Envelope, Violet Grape

I can't avert my wistful stare,
from a memento lying there.  
Tears fill my eyes, and I cannot see,
my thoughts immersed in reverie.
It was nineteen hundred and sixty eight
when I saw, with her, the Violet Grape.
Psychedelic wonders, and yet, 
how could the entire world forget?
Is it only me who still knows 
about the band that curled the toes 
of me and my angel, the wild rose?
She gave me, enclosed,
tickets for two,
saying one for me, and one for you -
we will ascend to heaven, 
on concert day, October eleven.
Reminded by a purple envelope,
of a night and girl who went up in smoke,
as if they never once existed,
a strange thought to be resisted.
I can't avert my wistful stare,
from the envelope, unopened there.

Premium Member Into Magic Dust

Time and tides await for no one floating oceans away
a driving force generates and pushes forward 

Lead my soul as it walks gently with you side by side
surrounding this mountain as your warm flames envelope embrace

Eating into the soul burning dewdrops 
falling from two stars lighting crystals shine up 

Gleaming chariot on fire immortal beauty sits 
crowning the forever destiny sings across desert storms

Shimmering into moonbeam shadows 
melting in one breathless air dazzling star light explodes 

In these arms your sweet memory always lingers and holds
under a spell cast silver lining clouds warmly dreams awaken

Jumping Beans

We eat-
and we commit,

we saunter
and we feel it-

the wisdom,

the wire’s,

the welding of the mire to the person who is inspired-
an envelope licked by the man they call sire...


The literal
is pitiful,

so spin the skull
and make some mold,

take a poll,

read a skull,

enter when you’re full,
ask them to list the goals-


be motion while it’s on the phone,

black people when they’re away from home

festering lingerer’s un-laid by their bones

a drink-
cheap but hits the hole’s...


A young person preen,

a peacock mean,

a regular man green,

ridiculous and obscene!


Motion of the sea,

movement of falling beans-

music in the reef.


Genesis

The crescent settled
behind you, wrapped in silk night,
wearing jasmin orange behind her ears.

I wondered: if she overheard
our brewing midnight; could she tell?
From the gleaming stars in my eyes

that I’m nothing if not a sailor
lost in azure, in awe
of treasures shimmering silver.

In the heat of silence, could she hear?
The pounding, quickened steps of
spring, sprinting across time—

Frogs break free from their winter hide,
I hear blushed wings hum 
impromptu tunes of perfection, and kisses

that felt like summer grass’s touch.
Sealed, in the envelope
addressed to spring when she catches up.

The Black Hunger

Two vagabonds
With a dozen of dogs
Around the half eaten bread

A boy and a girl 
With the school bag and pink smile
The beggar boy and the pigeons look blank

Her boyfriend Collin
Has sent a letter that she
Cannot read with her darkness of illiteracy

Along with the letters
Send some light too in the envelope
Shabnam says

The hunger for the alphabet
The thirst for the sounds of music
All in the sparkling snow beyond their closed window

Through the window
In the thatch roof of the shanty
the moon laughs at and the rains soak the bed

The life remains a tattered shirt
The hungry stomach and empty mind keep filling
The multiple holes 

We seek the buds of democracy
We stoke the fires of the wars alongside
The persona at the core of the personality

With the two hands you
Loot our flowers and the carrots
The hunger of the fists never satiates

Still we wait for the morning
Some Che Guevara will come and say
Come with me for the pigeons in the blue sky

We will recognise the wall
We will demolish the deliberate divide
A  black boy will hold the hands of a white girl

The blue pigeons in every courtyard
The yellow roses without discrimination
The dreams of reading together the poetry book

Premium Member Envelope On the Table

Walking thru the door my heart drops,
As I see the envelope on the table.
I call out for my wife all I hear is silence.
Standing all alone tears welling,
Up in my eyes I have never felt pain,
Like this before as if a hot burning,
Poker has been thrust into my heart.
I fall to my knees crying,
Calling her name out.
Staring at the envelope who,
Is laughing in my face as my heart breaks.
The creaking of the door shuts,
As I hear foot steps coming behind me.
Then I hear her "Baby, What's wrong ?"
I look up as tears stream down my face,
Pointing at the envelope, Why??
Then I see Roses and Champagne,
She holds my face with her hands,
Kissing me softly lightly on my lips,
Holding me close, 
Then looking into my eyes , she smiles,
Telling me, It's an ultrasound,
We're pregnant. We're gonna have a baby.
I lift her up hugging her never,
Wanting to let her go.

Premium Member Meditation Tools - Celebration

the music plays
our feet tap dance
to the rhythm we sway
ego fades in playful dalliance 

lovers with hearts melded holding hands
pheromones innocently intermingling
joy throb mind cannot understand 
magnetic current scintillating 

we watch day shift to night
scarlet canvas in slow exhalation 
no words remain to depict our delight
as ambedo trance becomes our meditation 

sensory pleasure surrendered to the flow
wherein the subject and object merge
childlike exuberance in play mellow
experiences a vibrant bliss surge

simply present in the continuum 
embracing and releasing each pulse
each node within form a joy sensorium
heightened rapture our being does engulf

identity vaporised we no longer weigh and size
the thinking process but a body instrument
rested since narrowness stifles surprise 
celebrating life without abatement 

equal in both pain and pleasure
consciousness fulcrum in the void
stagnating not yet each breath treasure
mode embrace hold release always overjoyed

Gods love inpours filling all chasms in our form
owing to simplistic erect aspect allowing
bliss currents envelope us in swarms
love and light within blossoming

moment to moment thus complete
flow through life with nonchalant ease
one with the That oneness with bliss replete 
unending is celebration as the breeze does tease

Premium Member Under the Canopy

Under the canopy of the pine trees we lay -
       from the poem 'Under the canopy of pine trees by Eve Roper

UNDER THE CANOPY

Under the canopy of the pine trees we lay.
Fervent scent gives undertow noses a heady sway.
Four eyes closed, we swallow the coniferous forest.
Love thrives in our paradisiacal protraction of rest.

Blinded to adversity, verdancy thrives in aurora splay
As our minds run into the river of sunlight to play.
We make promises — nothing sovereign outside our love.
He squeezes my hand, our engagement rings think of

Only this moment, the splendor of our crashing lips.
Our bodies envelope each other like an eclipse.
The force of nature — the arcadian elixir, its bliss.
I shall nevermore forget the chill of reminisce.
