Premium Member Ancient Blocks

Ancient  Block

Times you are amusing

Fencing off heads

Away from their ideas

Making breeze without the wind

Oftentimes you awful

Being mean and breaking wills 

Spewing words without no thoughts

Making faces while freezing phrases

Othertimes you send your gaps 

Inside thoughts and makeshift phrases

Making one frenzy

As we tap and tap

to patch up each sentence 

Making mockery of tense and moments

How you sit so crested 

oftentimes you stand like Gibraltar

Behind your bothering wall

Piling up boulders upon boulders

Of your ancient blocks 

Making us to pace

Again and again 

As we rumble up a storm

While bracing up for that phrase 

To bring down this troubling wall

then write our inner words

Premium Member How Are You

The formality of it stings.
“How are you?” 
Delivered with a self-conscious courtesy and
a poverty of emotion 
calculated to immediately keep 
me at arm’s length, 
fencing herself in.

There was a time when this
same greeting would
have been prefixed with a
velvet-soft “hey” and saturated with 
a low hum of closeness 
that instantly muted the world around us,
drawing me inside the fence with her,
accompanied by a slackening
of features and posture, 
as if the short separations 
demanded by work and 
other humdrum inconveniences 
of daily life were 
reluctant journeys, 
and home was wherever
I happened to be. 

The piano player in a corner of the bar, 
as if sensing the intrusion of 
something buried into the world of the living,
the chance encounter of 
present with its past, 
is now, with a mischievous glint in his eye, 
playing the kind of 
slow, tinkling jazz tune that, 
echoing from many nights past, 
is freighted 
with a desolation of angels.

We're talking like fugitives fleeing our own shadows,
the plastic pleasantries we exchange 
a cover-up,
every word the coded equivalent of 
“don’t go there”, 
slow dancing 
without touching. 

Too soon, or too late, 
we decide it’s time to put an end to the past-present,
like two estranged parents enforcing an 
early curfew on former versions of themselves. 

While we're walking away from each other,
the piano notes waft like wayward stars 
through the door of the bar,
trailing two ghosts who are, 
behind our backs,
eloping into the night.

Premium Member A Valentine Wedding

No one asked her to dance at their Prom that night
It beggars belief in me, what's wrong with these guys
Her beauty is all I see, personified within my sight
To not even to approach, I'm in total amazed surprise

Moving now to the present, although pasts have lived
Paths of life have drawn us to be amidst of each other
Recent discussions daily, our template to never sieve
It beggars belief to me that others they would rather

Now you have to be me to see to what my eyes declare
Breathe with me to see, within politeness my eyes grace
It beggars belief in me what's wrong with these guys stare
To never to ask her to dance, their Prom, invited place



The night has finally arrived for my ask to come to light
To see her standing there for my eyes to behold
Draped against her tanned a dress that so delights
My heart in pumping joy as our evening starts to unfold

At the edge of our bed she stands, her beauty immaculate 
I offer my girl my hand as she smiles we begin to dance
Hands to shoulder to waist, two in movement calculate
Engrossed, absorbed, I'm caught, her scented fragrance

Slowly our hands in roam, listening to 'The Flame' by 'Dare
Eyes in glancing look, anticipating minds in thinking wish
Lobe to necks now met, disheveled clothes reveal bare 
Our song now nears it's end, our hands in touching bliss



Buttons open straps in slide, shoulders where fingers walk
Gravity about to be tested, soft cotton just can't resist
Tongues like fencing epee's, when earlier they just talked
Unison hand in hand, engrossed in naked to bare assist

Covers turned lie silken sheets, rose petals sporadic adorn
Two souls in facing look, kisses aplenty caressing touches
Entwined in loving join, hips grinding torsos bourne 
Rhythmic writhing palms in palms, lovingly in clutches

Premium Member Sensuous and Sultry

She entered the room
As i raised my head
Body so ripe
Her mind was read
 
Long black hair
To her shoulder rests
Dressed in lace
Revealing her breasts
 
Gothic tattoo's
Grace her skin
Perfection in shape
My longing within
 
Our eyes meet
It's our cue to get close
In sultry walk
The want in me grows
 
Face to face
Lips to lips
Scented perfume
My heart skips
 
In gentle lay
On our bed she lies
Sensuously hot
Manly rise
 
I prowl her body
In wandering roam
Firmness and pert
She invites me home
 
In joyous motion
Like a surfers wave
Natures undulations
Ignite our crave
 
Our lips smothered
Tongues fencing
Imminent explosion
Eruption sensing
 
Clasping hands
Our moment is met
Her body arches
Recipe set
 
In spasmodic sync
Our voices meet
The flow of two
Internal greet
 
Passion settles
We lie in content
Absorbing our moment
Loving sentiments

Premium Member Crab, Crab, Crab

When we were still young
The beach was wider here.
Fifty years of erosion will do that.
An inlet from the sea ran in
On the back side of the beach
Where there was a culvert
That ran under the road.
The change of tide brought blue crabs,
And people on the rocks vied with
Each other, sticking out pole nets
As if they were fencing, 
To see who could catch the most.
Now what’s left of the beach
Has taken over the inlet, 
And the edge of the shore
Is only a few feet from the road.
No more blue crabs here.
Try Cow Bay at the little bridge 
Near the Bend in the Road Beach.
We used to wade in there
With our nets – you have to be fast
And twist your net just so
To catch a crab that way.
But the eelgrass is gone, 
And the crabs seem to have gone 
Somewhere else. It was a nuisance
To pick out the meat anyway!

Premium Member Ringing the Bell Curve

Most of us couldn't care less about another person's color
We're too busy with everyday things,
like working hard to make a living
providing for family
setting positive examples
raising children to be a better version of ourselves.
                
In between all these mundane things
we try explaining to them.
About the curious phenomenon 
we call God.

The media -the wealthy -the radicals 
are trying to topple democracy-to topple us.
They choose to focus on the rotten apples of society.
Make it seem like bigotry is the way everybody thinks.
To promote chaos and mayhem in society.

It's not just a white, black, or blue thing.
As they would have you believe-it's a human being thing...
The extremist blames their failures on {white privilege}..

The bell curve can tell you many things but not everything...
On either end of the bell are the anarchists and extremists.
They focus on and spotlight the exceptions to the rules.
These are the malcontents of our races and society.
In the middle are the majority of us-we the people.
Just trying to get by-fencing with everyday devils.
The middlemen- standing by our rights and freedoms.
Trying to deal with the violent, intolerant fringes.

Premium Member Barbed Wire

Barbed wire seems a 'thorny' subject on which to opine,
But there arose a need for such for people and beasts to confine!
Cowpokes cussed as they worked with it mutilating their hands.
Sheepherders fussed with cattlemen as it spread across their lands!

'Tis said back in 1874 Joseph Glidden, who 'bristled' with the idea,
Was awarded a patent for barbed wire to provide a cure-all panacea!
Split-rail fencing to outline boundaries was rapidly becoming passe',
To keep neighbors' straying goats, horses and other critters at bay!

Sheriffs found barbed wire handy to enforce a judge's firm dictates,
To confine hoss thieves, cattle rustlers and other such reprobates!
Inmates trying to scamper through the wire were apt to rip their pants,
Or worse, might end up in 'boot hill', caught trying to scale the fence!

Alas, sinister uses for barbed wire were found beyond bucolic meadowlands.
'Twas used to enslave thousands of innocent souls behind its menacing strands.
Thousands of men, women and children were consigned to death at Dachau,
Triblinka, Buchenwald, Ravensbruck and Auschwitz-Birkenau.

Among its many other diverse uses it has even marched off to wars,
To protect gallant American soldiers on far too many alien shores.
Mister Joseph Glidden was doing mankind a great favor, he thought.
Were he alive today he might say, "My gawd, what hath I wrought!"
