You are all glorious   within    My Love   

and your eyes           don’t miss a thing

wisdom and intelligence     your royal robes

why your God            has made you King

 

A throne that’s built on justice

in foresight         an everlasting plan

you have designed               a future

to delight       every       child woman man

 

We have sought your         understanding

and to implement        what you defined 

full applications              of your blueprints

for the temple           you have designed 

 

The Scepter and Crown            Imperial

for to you               God gave his house

hand selected           your personal servants

whose hearts        were to you espoused 

 

The preparations           are nearly ready

and to polish         the final few

the gems   you’ve sought    for centuries

the final crowning              of those like you

 

You have beckoned       them so gently

your voice        the only one they hear

they have        followed your instructions

and for this          you count them dear

 

Like God          your work is flawless

a transparent            clarity of mind

your affections           are deeply loyal

you are generous          vastly kind

 

You have lavished    upon us promise

devoted to giving          all happiness

to the eliminations    of         all suffering

your established kingdom             will bring all this

A Distant Shore

A Distant Shore

Beached upon a distant shore I wondered about my life 
Beseeched by solitude all I could pour out was sadness & strife 
I reached for something in the distance that looked like it was a knife 
It teached me to be indifferent as I knew my thoughts were running rife

Extending out with a notion leading my mind toward the dawn
Pretending that without devotion things are soon to be forewarned 
Defending all of the commotion as my spirit lays there torn 
Upending my torrents of emotion as I pray to be reborn 

Pertinent proclivities that can’t hold onto prevention 
Militant sensibilities that keep you a candidate for detention 
Indeterminate absurdities that seek creativity for invention 
Recalcitrant eligibility’s that defy the next mass organised convention 

Incantations of a prophecy that came true far too soon 
Lamentation of Sophocles by the light of the full moon 
Emanations of soliloquies that are about espoused around high noon 
Invitations of proclivity that contrive while I turn up the latest tune 

Observations of vibrant conversations while I go without vocalisation 
Sensations of reserved consternations bring about the elevation 
Emulations of salivation over something close to revelation 
Colourations of computations that lead me toward general devastation

Premium Member Hevenly Father Grant Me Another So That I Can Worship You Alone--

I was endeavored;
Espoused and married;
But alas now I'm widowed;
And I'm physically alone;
I told my Father;
I worship you alone;
As He's tells me I am alone but not alone;
Hevenly Father Grant Me Another So That I Can Worship You Alone-- 
At the time of my wife death
This is how I felt
Grieving for 2 years
Mourning so many tears;
Now that the pain settled;
And my heart's mellow;
And I'm physically alone;
Hevenly Father Grant Me Another So That I Can Worship You Alone-- 
And now that she is gone;
I've asked my Father for another;
And if I am worthy;
Maybe some one will;
Become my new instill;
For it's better to wed, than burn;
Given unto me please Lord another wife;
So that I may finish my life;
Given unto me please Lord another wife;
And as both of us together a new wife and I together;
I need to share me and another with the Lord;
As then together you and I can worship you (God) alone;
Her and I together shall worship you alone;
Heavenly Father Grant Me Another So That I Can Worship You Alone--

Premium Member My Father

His time was almost done I hugged him
his arms remained dangled by his side
His body stiffened like a board
never within him ever seemed to be a loving chord

Was it his for own lack of self esteem that he found strength
through derision and  sneering  all his family endured
Persistent anger  bullying put downs and teasing
several beatings over time I incurred

The pain of a flogging  quickly disappeared 
the constant mental bruising it hung around for many years
early days of nightmares  then anxiety and depression
adulthood  full of irrational fears followed many childhood tears

I wondered if my father was raised 
by a father who treated him as my father treated me
 never broke a long tradition to learn
the code of self love that could have set him free

My father espoused  a strong atheistic view 
it seemed from as early as I am able to recall  
He was fixated with old age and dying
he'd say there's no hereafter no more life at all

And when he died I never shed a tear 
never felt the pain of any  grief
Many years before he died I'd found freedom through self love
released chains of past hardship and thus felt so much relief

I would like it to be different but as yet 
for my father I've still not found real love
But I do send loving messages despite his disbelief in God
via the divine postie to where he is now residing happily above

Overwhelmed Dark Vehemence

Overwhelmed dark vehemence 

i swedges each breathe 
for emancipation from shackles of
dark streets i walk
pawing of his covetous touches 
loath tie-ins running since ages
serfdom of a man's wench
or from the core of philtre of miseries 

Beneath my mass
My soul espoused 
The overwhelmed dark vehemence 
It is nor cremated neither cemented 

'Rape her once
Rape her twice
Rape her enormous 
In a troop or sole 
Arouses the torment in her veins
And her blood starts rotting away
She greedily quest the weapon
The weapon to shred him as he devoured whole of her masses into pieces in one bite
The weapon to shred the mayhem that devoured her halcyon days'

Beneath my mass
My soul espoused 
The overwhelmed dark vehemence 
It is nor cremated neither cemented

Premium Member Political Fervor

They were happily wed for fifty years but a dilemma that nettled,
Was their differing political views that they never, ever settled!
Every time a local, state or national election cycle approached,
The squabble began as the virtues of their candidates were broached!

The donkey was the symbol of the party espoused by Ma.
The elephant was the emblem of the party championed by Pa.
They agreed on how to raise the kids and on matters of religion,
But to agree on political affairs - nary one little smidgen!

Their eternal battle even raged beyond the hallowed grave,
As on separate stones these telling epitaphs they did engrave:
"Here a Democrat lies - A lovely wife with the wrong party ties!"
"Here a Republican lies - A loving spouse but politically unwise!"

Premium Member Vusi Thembekwayo

I came across the man of the title
Of this write, I don't know more of
Him, than the clip I saw of him.'
I note though that he reasoned well
Espoused of balance that did so tell
Spoke of learning, a country not earning.'
Teaching self respect that theme strong
Of liking or not, came to me; all along'
I agree emotion anger based
Will sink like a stone, fading ripples; loss
Of trace, the thread thats needed reality.!
To face its content with equinimity
And this digested,  to rise above.'
Flaring emotions, observe the doves
Persistence building breeding of Love
Gaining understanding the harder shove'
It was always so, and always is
Clear minds, clear vision; expose whats hid
Raise up talent , disperse the ills of delusion
Ingest forberance build stamina
Then level the hills, tackle each mountain
One at the time, focus on your destination
While mastering that climb.!

Premium Member An App For That

A roommate shows me this hookup app - the consensus favorite.

“Call me crazy,” I say, “but if we’re reducing s3x to something 
cheap and cynical, wouldn’t p0rn be safer and easier?”

She frowns, as if I’ve espoused an unpopular political position
so I make a show of putting “join the app” on my to-do list 
- which is like sending it into outer space.

Sleeping with someone you don’t like - or even know, seems impolite, even seedy but there’s a power to it as well - knowing I could if I wanted to - I quash that thought as it rises, like heat.

Besides, factoid: I have an imaginary boyfriend, And although my thoughts are free to roam far and wide, I’m nothing if not faithful.

Premium Member Frozen Blossom

Frozen Blossom

    Cold lips, sun-kissed.
Rose-crimson comes to life,
   unfolding bliss,
      opening aperture -
  hear the rapture.
The tint of snow, bright-red.
  Frozen sunset
      in ev-e-ry petal.
She shivers, with delight,
                 anticipates
animated brushstrokes
  fondling velvet.
Revival, early Spring -
   sings angel wings,
tinged with silver detox.
        As she breathes out,
she warms inner stamen,
      awakening
   potent place in Eden.
Frozen blossom,
      fragile in dormant state -
   latent shatter,
but she is beautiful,
               and capable
         of weathering the snow.
  A blushing bride
    with wedding veil, of white,
      in April’s hold.
Espoused daren’t let her
        out of his sight.

Balmy January Fifth Two Thousand Twenty Three

Balmy january fifth two thousand twenty three

pardon moi as I self plagiarize
with slight modifications
cuz following words written
at least an Earth's orbit ago
exhibits pearls of jocularity.

I ran than jumped high
into the upper atmosphere
like a faux young American 
landing on the lunar surface
frisky buck naked and bare
no matter weight of world
and personal woes oppressive,
yours truly shrugged,
(she loves you yea... yea... yea...
think Atlas) "faking" without care
free, able, eager, ready, and

willing to dare
daubing, muddying, and wading 
metrical feet into stream
of consciousness (think)
metaphorical earthenware
placid figurative smooth as glassware
reflecting mine mien
mean disheveled hare
reed state of swiftly tailored body,
mind and spirit long

acclimated, accompanied, 
and accustomed
with mental, physical,
and spiritual malfunctions
ever since birth,
(or even in utero), where
biological mutations did interfere
easily availing self
as token "scapegoat
school kids did taunt and jeer

futilely screeching nevertheless
targeted and doomed killdeer
lamely seeking safety, albeit laughable
pencil necked geek longhair
donned as outdated "hippie"
lame excuse for cheesy mouseketeer
every day of younglife (mine) wanted
me "mommy dearest" near,
cuz yours truly
felt like kin outlier

one lonely human
being within alienation
forever seeking salvation
courtesy wing and prayer
ill fitting analogous to round hole
raised to accept unconventional
credo, gospel (according
to Matthew) mores as quare
figurative peg thus revere
ring boyhood, because

growing up scare
re: especially as
undersized withdrawn tear
huff eyed little lad
donning monogrammed  underwear
“enlightenment touché”
honoring inimitable Voltaire where
he unabashedly espoused
freedom of religion, 
freedom of expression, 
and separation of church and state.
