Queen of the Turf

There it was gazing up – radiant – 
radiating kaleidoscope silver green;
sharp with life, ready and expectant.

Spreading its claim, pressing out the grass,
was a thistle born from last year's seed unseen.
From where had it blown here to outclass

the perennials of the turf? Its time
now come to arise from the meadow supreme,
preparing to host bug life full time. 

Come July it will fuzz with purple
flowers as a crown for a victorious queen,
armed with many a prickled sepal.

Visited by suppliant insects
who set and array her seeds; a frothy scene
for finches' feast. Passing air extracts,

disperses the progeny abroad
to wherever to be ready, once more unseen
between the blades never overawed;
a tribute to the Creator Lord.

Loiter as I dwell a blurry refrain;
Explore the edges of blur memories;
Glimpse upon a spell of a lost complaint;
Attend to pages in lost history;
Chance upon odd fate in my vague story;
Yes confront this case with not much to see.
Sense an ancient date that extracts bounty;
Use then your own pace to read what must be;
Reach and know that gloom that fills tapestry;
Proof of a dreary tunnel vision here;
Rest and clear the room in quaint mystery;
Indulge your dreamy antiquated spheres;
So herein a tale in unknown compact;
Energy now fails to tell or distract!

Premium Member Ice King

He grew within a frigid place
No one thought those legs would ever part
A Dark Prince thawed her frozen heart

A member long and stiff like ice
Penetrates
Cuts through the cold
His seed 
His power
They both take hold
Invade
Satiate
Invigorate
Skin white as snow
begins to glow
A subtle blush
She feels the rush
Heated up
Ever so slightly
His cold blue eyes 
shine brightly

She screams in the night
Pleasurable blue light
Her senses take flight

Then the dark prince goes away
The night was night and this is day
There's no desire in him to stay
With a heavy heart on the bed she lay
For him just a thing of play

Inside
His seed
Her baby grows
What is happening 
she does not know
Pulse is rapid it will not slow

Her red veins 
turn to blue
There is nothing 
she can do
Her heart now frozen
a block of ice
She thinks cold thoughts
that are not nice
Inside the child feeds on her
The days and nights become a blur

In the middle of winter
The Ice King is born
From fragile womb 
his body torn
Arrival accompanied 
by a storm

Those present become statued ice
The King extracts his sacrifice
His mother spared
To her his love he shows
She wraps him in blanket 
of pure white snow
His skin translucent 
begins to glow

All of a sudden
the Dark Prince appears
He commands bring the baby over here
I wish to gaze upon my son
He is a truly magnificent one

He looks closely at the baby's face
Resemblance more than just a trace
Blue eyes dark they extract a toll
Sucking up the Prince's soul
The Ice King
emerges 
fully grown
Regally rises to take his throne

Mother cries
Blue magical tears
Time for coronation 
Rapidly nears
Diamonds fall 
onto the ground
Placed in ice
The King is crowned

with her Ice King. Yanny's Dark Prince has also played a roll.
Also thanks to SKAT for posting the Ice King Contest,
if she increases the number of lines I will enter.
I wrote this one before I knew there was a contest.

Shark Life F D C Made Clear

Life ain't for the plenty

Instead it rather

Chooses to 

Extracts it kicks from praying 

On the mild mannered and the meek

Life is like a thief 

That seems to be 

It's one and only brief

And if you don't believe me 

Ask the ghostly sewer children

Lying in the fetal position 

With a blank expression

Both

Wondering and pondering

The eternal question

For one last time

Before they did

Why 
Oh
Ohh
Why

What

The hell did I do wrong

I wasn't even here that long 

Only to be and get told

Doesn't matter

Life ain't for the plenty

Only those who are willing

To take not only their 

Share

But everyone else's

As well

By: Director Stagehand

"Dinkle Hoarder!" she yelled repeating it several times.
What's a disklike hoarder? It's a person that introduces you
to a person so that you can be the one to divide an
 existing relationship.Oh an interloper: yeah that's it she said.
Then she resomed yelling, "you interloping *Bleep*!
Control:she likes to control, her dark traits where she instills
 jealousy into peoples lives so that they may envy the
 happiness of the newly formed couple. 
Some people want to feel power over others. Where wealth can't do--it
or the natural ability of beauty fails: hurt is how
she extracts revenge might he be alone and unable to be
loved ever again. She was so confident and cocky
using her position of Assistant Manager to create a playing field where she
was number one with full control over all involved. She introduced people
to his fiancée so they could mingle in his absence. And in his presence
she praised her as loyal to him. Today he found her with another woman and a guy.
" There they laid, entangled in there want: as he is fool against her doings,
then the home became a stage for the drama to unfold as he open 
the door to find them,caught in flagrante delicto: I take pride in your misery!" Thats when I just took him away from all of this and I cursed that evil woman! Thats when you came over!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They invited members of a Movie making group
to the Mansion for supper. When the group arrived 
this drama was unfolding
some thought it was real. It was a hoax to
try to create interest into
the filmmakers project

Premium Member My Little Donation

The Red Cross tells me there is nothing to fear, and no harm.
However, they are sticking an awfully big needle into my arm.
This organization is happy to get a donor like me.
After all, I have the rarest type which is positive AB.
I have to lie on a table horizontally
as my crimson liquid goes into the bag rather slowly.
The nurse says I am done, and she extracts the needle carefully.
Holding my arm with gauze, I feel a little dizzy.
I get up from the table rather lethargically.
They offer me all I want of doughnuts and iced tea.
Here I am with the Red Cross in Pennsylvania.
How long will my blood take to reach the Count in Transylvania?

Premium Member Heavenly Matters

Toilets are uniquely designed for one purpose only,
And as we know them, they are dispellers of waste.
Our human waste is a byproduct of consumed food.
The body extracts useful nutrients and expels the rest.
We excrete the waste into toilets that deliver to sewages.

Such tools as toilets would have no useful function in heaven.
God never intended for us to be informed about every heavenly matter.
So far, I have not read any scholarly dissertation about heaven's waste.
Of course, my reading has its limitations, but basically, by God's own choice,                                            
heaven houses things celestial, and earth is equipped for things terrestrial.

I cannot imagine toilets nor waste products in the present nor new heaven .
There will be a new heaven and a new earth-emphasis on the word 'new'.
For one, we will have, not mortal, but immortal bodies in heaven.  Some                                                 
might infer that our bodies will be like Jesus' resurrected body, but we must                                                            
keep in mind that although it was raised a different body, he still was able                                                               
to consume earthly food at breakfast with his disciples.  Therefore, still
an earthbound human, Jesus had components required for earthly existence,
even if for only 40 days.

I suspect, and I can easily imagine, that the foods we consume in heaven 
will be foods having all nutrients, fully consumed and processed, with no waste products.  In other words, whatever our immortal bodies require from the heavenly foods, energy for example, our bodies will fully absorb, leaving nothing wasted. By the way, I find the entire question very interesting and fascinating.  I commend the contest sponsor.

FLAME OF ASCENSION

FLAME OF ASCENSION
 

No-one can escape Flame of Ascension 
           a glance, a glimmer, a gestalted shadow
ghosts or gestures guarded Hearts to
       genteel progress on a path

It nightmares numskulls and nuns alike
         coffins cords, corners chains conniving 

Thumb tips touch those of Serapis Bey
          tippling white Flames in quantum space
as he passes with poignant eyes

“Where must sparks sagely sail now
           Great Chohan of Central Sun ?”

“To those with neptunium nerves 
                those who have mastered their minds
who stare over lambert lagoons
                                                 lbis eyed
those who will not hasten to 
         taste Tophet flesh, toxined tongues 
                  or squirm to struggle stormy seas
who live on one orange a day 
            from oozing boxes to city sites

Let Ascension Flame sparks fly fivefold
           to those who chore by candlelight 
in basements cold  
        gather guinea-fowl feathers in damp 
dawn to create wise woman wands

to those who forgive an impoverished 
                    rapist in a fitful farm hut
fathoming his fishtail hands

Let Ascension Flame sparks sail to those
            who embrace Polar Bear spirit
stirring soup for a repentant soul
          covering it with furs 
flasking it’s folly !”


No-one can flee Flame of Ascension 
someday it fleeces all spectroscopically
            pay with sweat of your sweat
palsy, petty or posh
            breath upon baptising breath 
no strut or scintillating stumble 
            skin to self-assuming skin 
spectacular sundew sing


Flame of Ascension extracts due fuchsia
       fragrance from filament files 
                 harp harmonies heightened to
a hastened hypnosis from an inexplicable 
                                  white heart field

Come
       Let Flame of Ascension flower 
fiddling fingers into interlinking 
intercurrents of Infinity’s intimacy !

Chocolaty Regiment

The feel of brown skin swirled around the cup of hands.

With lips soft and full.
I too melt in a passionate place.
With taste of something warm and comforting.
It's hard to rearrange something as divine as touch.
The groove of lips stir such emotion in body and mind.
Setting it priority, forgetting to stand in a moment of euphoric proportion.
An eclipse follows in steady motion.
Without use of sugar or cream.
I stood in a flood of on going cries.
Stained by the rise of steam bold enough to claim where we've stood.
Stained in our essence, her essence.
The depth of her eyes.
A constant motion of sights sitting still.
It's unfortunate, the people whom stand in line.
Their misuse of foam cups, soy blend extracts.
Love shouldn't be diluted with sweetness readily made available.
But instead in consistency.

Rising like steam
