Premium Member The Queen of Repentance

On the morn of the eve of infinity
Saw the eyes of a stranger I knew
As she danced to the tune of the Devil
By the silvery light of the moon

I said " Lady I came here for drinkin'"
But her burning gaze finished my sentence
She said " Sir! Won't you tell me your secret
And I'll be your queen of repentance"

So soldier or sailor live life to the last
Believe in the truth of expectance
For in some dark tavern or shady bordello
You may meet her the queen of repentance

Then her hand held mine like a grape to a vine
With a promise of pleasures untold
And this angel or wraith was to replace my faith
And shone light in a soul turned cold

So soldier or sailor come tell her your secret
For she's your last chance of redemption
Let the black in your soul be replaced by the light
Where no sin is too great for exemption

Premium Member The Funeral Urn

“we look for that that does not come and go
it cannot be organic form, subject to decay 
thoughts and beliefs are fickle, how little we know
yet come what may, our inner child continues to play”


The 'umbilical cord', 
hereby symbolic, 
its severance
where
initiated,
a soul of three,
and then much more. 

Growing up was an 
in-depth shared 
furtherance,
whereupon,
directives were encountered,
either embraced or tossed aside.

Time and again, instant moments,
encouraging considerations,
imbued ponderance,
whereto,
we tether ourselves
to a sizeable pole of justifications.

Hail to a fitness club, or a cab to a McDonald's,
intermittent intervals, slim down or fatten up,
choice batters about a pole that remains,
until life expectance,
leans awkward,
wherefore
for time indulgence,
slacks a major facet as the pole evolves minor,
for one's immediate concerns, lies elsewhere, a priority.

All the while, the pole was steadfast but never silent
taking a backseat to the urgencies of the moment
significance tallies the hours near,
wherein
one now realizes that time is fleeting,
wonders how one's pole has shaped itself, was it worth their while.

At that instant, open their eyes 
and see the poles that are
standing around them
bedside so they can
measure their
worth truly.
Where
we mete
out ourselves
to whom we truly 
Blessed Assurance.

Premium Member A sense of something

There was a hush, a sense of waiting
for what? the forest animals were unsure,
just an expectance, an unrest or unsettled
feeling kept them from being relaxed.

What could it be? none was sure
just a feeling that hung in the air
a sense of something not right
a heaviness in the forest air.

Animals milled around
on high alert wondering
waiting not sure what to do
then came a bark of alarm.

Bedlam broke loose
all scattered not sure from what.
just a sense of unease
as they huddled together. 

Then the feeling eased
animals started to relax
soon they were all grazing
going about the day's activities.

The sense of unease
was never solved
but it had been in the air
now all was peaceful once again.

Not Music To My Ears

#"NOT MUSIC TO MY EARS..."

Beeps, Bleeps, Bells and Whistles in a Hospital Setting, Netting The Feeling to the Ears of Sharp Prickly Thorny Thistles That Nestle's The EARS of One's Very Soul, Rendering COLD Hypnotic, Robotic Timed Unwanted Lyrics In A Setting that's Unsettling and Upsetting...Yet, the Resetting of Unyielding Chimes Define a Disturbed Mind And BODY; I Beg Mercy On Me To Please Stop and Finally Cease...If Only For Few Mere Moments to Receive PEACE And RELEASE From This RELENTLESS CHORUS...
A CHORESOME ACCEPTANCE WITH NO EXPECTANCE OF SUBSIDING.
MEANWHILE, I SWIM AND IMMERSE IN THIS SYMPHONY CURSE AND THE RHYTHMS INSIDE, COINCIDE...

BUT, NOT AGAINST MY UN-WANTING!#

Got ah nutta one

Yet again such troubles
Speaketh as words
The surges of evening
Make darkest the day
As if expectance is deserved
_______________________________
If you can withstand my
Ooh auh wollies
And my auh we oohs
Then I can deal with your
Auh she mollies til we
Say I do
Got auh nutta one
Tryna get tween
She and me
Baby keep me near
Got auh nutta one
The buck stops right here
She's my lady
Someone I love sincre

If the nights are for sleeping
I will say I do
Conflicting resolutions
Solved tween me and you

She likes meddling
She likes getting in
Others affair
She tells a story
I feel like I'm right there

If it's about us together
Then I am all in
Marrying a special woman
One I call my best friend

Got your gossiping
Right here in my hand
All ways got some thing
Only you know
My wife is my friend
Stop underming me
My gal is right here 
Those you better hands
And snears and sleases
It all stops right here

Beginning to Remember



The first sense from the portal destination was contentment and a smile to the eyes- 
of barnyard kin and neighbor, those curious smiles welcomed in tandem with an expectance, 
something I cannot put my finger on or elaborate, 
but only as that I was a visitor but not a stranger.
Eager but calm faces 
silhouetted amidst the moonlight's particle beam, 
dusts that danced like Fairy-folk in training 
held spotlight and stage 
to announce me in theatrical swirl.
The scent of damp straw permeated just enough 
to add to the ambience. Then I looked out and slightly skyward, just below mountain level- to the east. 
There sat a great City- 
which looked to be made of Topaz and Steel and an impossible white material 
that reminded me of alabaster and taffy. 
That is where I remembered, that I met her.

Love Certifacate

:lush orchestral arrangements: The Task Worth Doing.
Written by Insediare il Sig Grande Bacca

Love Came Without Warning.
The Constitutionia Merica does not explicitly define or even contain the word "love." However, the Supreme Court has interpreted the Constitution—specifically the 14th Amendment—to protect the right of individual The Cupidoscope: A historic device, detailed by Publio Mericania, that used electrical stimulatia, where a woman's tolerance for the sensation allegedly indicated the level of affection, notesls to marry and express love regardless of race or gender 


Ghetto Letto a Quiet Love a Gaijin, a stranger to my affection,The Right Woman: the right woman to love, and be loved by.Her derivative works, they labor to arrange and rearrange to make modern, might the lyrics be reimagined.  Altering instrumentation or style. Or making it more modern to sound like the year it was released or dropped still while keeping the original lyrics and melody. Love defined and reimaged.
The recreation of the image inspired by the need for the expectance of musical peers and  the general audience. The right berry is Barry White!

Premium Member Doing Duty

Arjuna, a grand warrior, well habited to,
Fight against nastiest of warrior crew;
Finds himself faced with kith and kin
To fight a war, hence, he fears within;
Dilemma-filled he calls out to God,
God hears him and hurries to his aid;
Erasing the doubts shrouding him,
He bids him his duties to perform;
Duty of a warrior is fighting, he says,
Not ever thinking of victory of loss;
Pleasure or pain or victory or defeat
Reckon on actions with no deceit;
Fighting against inner inclinations, 
Demeanors, evil desires, illusions;
Losing all that’s imperfection within,
Combating to gain the life’s soul win;
Knowledge combined with love is ideal,
Action and no inaction – must be real;
Doing duties with no fruit expectance,
Must be the pursuit of human existence;
Though it may not be always possible,
Striving towards it is, indeed, feasible...
