Premium Member Touch of the Spirit

Touch of the Spirit

Touched by this unseen breath
That hovered over a shapeless abyss 
My understanding
Stretches - reaching for 
This tantalizing scent of divinity
And a fluttering touch
This dove of prophetic mystery.

Cravings carved from aspirations
Foreshadow an anointed reverie
When musings beget beatitudes

Like a sigh rustling leaves
Restless perfection ascends
On amazing wings
From a fire that never burns
To trace a silhouette
 Of elusive answers 
  Coming into focus
   For my near-sighted eyes
On shafts of newborn light.

The unselfish redeeming heart
Descends in loving nudges 
Of hallowed serendipity
Planting seeds of whimsy
 Possibility
  From contemplation
Freed from judgements
 And twirling paths of tarnished opinions

Intentional inspiration
Flows from fleshless wind and fire
Like an irresistible sneeze
To foreshadow resolutions 
Glimmering through far off mists
Where notes wait for me
 Words clamor to speak rhymes
  Colors step forward from shadows
Begging for artistry
 Laboring for birth.

Touched by this breathless sigh of longing
Only visible
In the alluring aromas of the divine
My timeworn steps of a threadbare dance
Fall away
Pulled into perfect synchronization
By an ever gracious goodness
Reason fades into faith
Uniting me with love 
Beloved teacher, divine star.

Self-Existent Light

Beyond the sight of imagination,
 Invisible of alpha and omega,
Unseen your non-existent borning daystar 
Glory and splendor collide,
 Pure sinew of sublimity
  Source of ceaseless heartbeats
Flame without source,
Robed in resplendence.

No vacuum!
 No space for ebony!
  No consummation!
   No cradle!
  .
Divine edgeless clarity
 Perpetual renewal of resplendence -
 Wholeness illuminated,
   Spring of radiance
Eternity’s original mystery 
 Needing neither tinder nor spark
Light – essence of the Eternal
 Eternally coupled fission and fusion.

Fleshless eternal incandescence
 Uncontainable virginal day
Infinite dynamo of electric brightness,
 Ceaseless and incorruptible,
Self-contained chalice
 Of always, 
Chrysalis of incensed endless fuel
Shines from within Perfection.

Pure light
 Pure love
  Pure font
   Undimmed Eternal

Inspiration

Through the breathless comma of anticipation
I search for words that yearn to walk
A smokeless incense of inspiration arises
Pulled back from fleshless graveyards of bleak

Pale dawn stumbles from midnight to forget,
Splashing auroras of platinum mist
Breathing fireflies into tombs of musky indigos -
Endless effervescence of grace.

Silk ribbons of ice melt into wellsprings
Present tense of the divine dawn.

Premium Member Timmy Jones

Draughty rafters, creaks and groans
Is it wind or Timmy Jones
Not in school nor home in bed
Did he roam or lose his head 
So much time since Timmy passed
Neither first nor the last

Such reputations can’t be shed
Hard to sever ones own head
Kiss the pistol-tip instead
One shot and the head was dead
Now the blackboard’s painted red
Why he did it, never said

Chief inspector Eddie Shaw
Tapped his foot: a hollow floor?
Damp and mouldy, rotted through
Boards collapsed: inspector too
Dusted down then stared in dread
A skeleton with severed head

Swirling dust a chilling itch
On the wall a double switch
One did nothing whatsoever
Flicked the second, wished he never

A concrete floor that’s widely scattered
Stains suggesting blood was spattered
Fleshless bones with single sever
No skulls to be found... ever
Black bin liner not the norm
A sleeve of this school’s uniform

Ed could not ignore its pull
The bag of uniforms is full
And on a dusty shelf above
His hand now sleeved in latex glove
No more use to fleshless bones
About a dozen mobile phones

Demolish, refurbish, which should it be
The question considered financially
Fix it and paint it and keep it all quiet
But people live long and many won’t buy it

Caretaker shuts the classroom doors
Along those draughty corridors
Speaks not much of what was found
Under God-forsaken ground
But like the school’s a haunted grotto 
Teachers chant this eerie motto

In the basement human bones
School kid’s clothes and mobile phones
Be this not misunderstood
Better that you just be good
Or share a room with Timmy Jones 
And human bones and mobile phones

The Centre Point

 
 

I arrived breath away, stepping out of a journey waiting not for fellow passengers with tedious conversations about Hemingway, Trump or AI 
hot excitement dissolved into foreboding
pain, then shattered into peace ~ bliss on 
cards, an endless journey had end after all

age equalled superfluous suffering
red ticks on calculus examination page 
point of Excalibur deadly, yet where I 
belonged as spiral, lived a hundred lives 
or more of solitude, silence, secrecy 
dandelions oracled sacred

yin and yang exploded into nothingness 
white black entwined stillness containing 
all sound, shadows, twenty four strands 
when tabulating male and female
fire flashed into stardust figments
a millionth of a blinking second

whether charioteer voted redhead wily 
in a country of dollars or mid-life crisis 
cities were questions embedded in olive branches or fleas on poodles barking twirled with archaeologists, crooks, historians 
status mattered not here

altars in faraway wonderlands where writers recreated Alice whilst filmmakers negotiated budgets ignorant that movies were magical moments bound in akashic records  
here marigolds came before business 
Brahman footprints treading Truth tabled

Singularity contained every loop into Void embracing once upon time a leather jacket 
journey cracked its own codes crumbled fleshless, as eyes became saucer satellites 
explorers, tourists, passengers, all here ~
revelry was lived or meditation mastered 

centre point, brilliant or dull, crude or sharp equals zero-one sequences ~ music, sky, planets, charioteer or train passenger 
all gifted with a choice … return to Earth
or bathe forever in Centred Bliss


Premium Member In a World where I do not Exist

In a world where I do not exist, poetry lies.
My progeny disappears - there are no words.
Exists not a pair of green eyes, only the wind sighs
at that particular point when angels are birds.

In a world where I do not exist, air is arms,
fleshless, without compassion, unfelt. Steam
enfolds those I’d have esteemed with my coat of arms.
I’d be nobody at all, not even a forlorn dream.

In a world where I do not exist, I do not serve.
There is only one me with my speciality.
The sick, dying, those crying, get not what they deserve.
This time and place features an abnormality.

In a world where I do not exist, even my ancestors
are forgotten. Who exists to remember their stories?
How is their time filled, those honeymoon trimesters?
My name, my soul, my spot has naught its glories.

Has my husband found another honey or died?
In a world where I do not exist, can my soulmate strut?
Perhaps and rightly so, he believes that poetry lied.
Alone, forgotten, divorced, devoid of he knows not what?

Premium Member Haunted Path

Spooky Halloween Rhyme 8-16 Lines 10-19-23
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Haunted Path

Ebony mists disguise a windswept path,
Unseen fingers rustle decaying leaves
Fleshless moans shroud the vanishing footpath 
Vertigos of terror without reprieve.

Shadows breathe in a rising rancid breath,
Footsteps crunch like brittle bones in flight
As fleshless hands stir boiling shibboleth,
Dry thunder flashes through this hallowed night. 

Bewitched tree roots entangle fleeing feet
Chains of lightning rumble in ragged streams 
Free falling into depths of darkness’ heat
Like rusty hinges severed curses scream 

Trapped in cloaks of silence so eerie -
Entombed in crypts of muteness, manic -
Dim veils, confusion, cast spells so dreary
Path lost in webs edged in spooky panic.

Premium Member Fairy Princess

eyes of beauty
shines dark sapphire
sparkling diamonds
dazzling jewels
opens the heart
piercing feelings
in emotions charm
enchants a soul


cherry cheeks blushing
in sweet desire
hair the color 
of a raven
falling feelings
as lips lock together
bursting fort 
in loves flavor
dancing magically  kiss
casting her spell
totally conquered


with sweetest music
played on strings
of a fairy heart
softly enchanting
plays  tender tunes
into the deepest chords
delicate emotions
open up

soulful yearnings 
moving emotions 
they cry out
through air
fleshless dancing naked
on spirit  feet 
lulled in 
sweetest ecstasy
moans with love
oh beautiful princess

dances within
spirit of lips 
two souls kissing
embracing hearts
they join together
on silver sands
enchanted with love
forever into eternity
in a  fairytale dream
we magically dance
uniting steps 
as one 
into paradise

The Insignificance of Man

Blunt deadly weapons of mass destruction
electrify, fracture, and
jeopardize *****Sapiens
species (and entire biosphere)
continuity rent asunder

doomsday declared (nuclear winter
gallows humor spelt
with eternal snow day)
dystopian authors outflanked
nuclear fallout wreaks worst

rocky horror picture
effected upon mankind
global (worldwide)
big screen radioactive
wee willy weber webbing

materiel severely seared
sepsis poisons deoxyribo
nucleic acid future generations
organic fiber cursed
simultaneous single simulcast

broadcast airs live after Royal Wedding
audience participation demanded
bumping ugly fleshless
formed fruitless fatal fumes
anomalies all – blinded

beastial begotten bemoan
brethren brood 
brutal burnt offerings
crackling, snapping,
and popping surreal muck

shapeless liquified populace
sloshing helter skelter
quests slither towards
aimless destination
bone a fied skeleton crews cruise

crying cretins creep cavalierly
crepuscular cratered city
cruel mushroom clouds
cloaked croaking cellophane charred
cancerous clumps career,
clomp continuously
chaos charts choking climate
cold comfort commanded collusion
commander in chief concurred

crumpled coveted constitution credo
crass conceit communicated
cooly came clean concerning
consensual coital cavort
crazy cream craving characterized

condoned combined crunching
crotch crab free **** -
condom free crux
contractual commingling
cashiered coverup

chic chica chick 
cigerette chewing 
clutched cocked club
choked chicken concluded
das capitol business

before he returned
to regularly broadcast program
the sea son finale
last chapter of human race

no winners, nor survivors
bleak contaminated Earth gasping
heaving jackknifed lost in vape
nonpareil planet reduced to vapor!

Premium Member Bone Beach

Bone Beach 10-19-24 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bone Beach

Over barren beachheads,
Where ephemeral waves roil,
Shattered tides
Wonder of life left behind
In empty wombs that once bore pearls.

A cemetery of fleshless carrions remains
In bleached bone
To build conundrums of calcium,
Birthed in youthful rings,
In relics of festive gluttony
Without tombstones.

Abandoned
Sanctuaries, exposed,
Burn like bare flesh
From raw rays of solar outrage.

Expectant chrysalis of spiral greyness,
Chilled in the journey of cochlear moons,
Builds upon a barren shell a welcoming host
For renewal rising from churning waves - 
A symbol of resurrection from stone sands.

New life grows bones 
In grey dreams
On cast-aways.
