Premium Member The Rocking Chair

...she was ensnared within her prized gardens
There among a tempest of roses.
Entangled in the mournful whispers 
of… 
Weeping willows
From noon till night.

Within her bustling haven, 
the envy of neighbors.
A source of joy and delight.
But her constant aching heart 
desired so much more.

Her poor lonely husband
 Once he was robust and 
brimming and strong 
with vitality...
Now his soul has withered 
in the desolation 
of his ongoing prison of solitude.

Like a leafless tree...
stripped bare by winter's icy grip…

His heart was shattered.
For upon the porch's creaking rocker / 
...his soul dwindling... 
...its motion faltering...
Stops...

She suddenly grasped the vastness... 
of her loss?
Such an ache colossal.
Crying out to God!! 
her tears flowing like a raging 
roaring river: 
"Restore my free!!!"

A glimmering thought emerged in her
a forbidden whisper:
"Conjure a deal, the deal, with nature... 
and it will be granted."

An Epiphany as a glimmering thought 
emerged:
His thumb... a sharp knife... 
a cursed gift... 
a grower’s unholy art...
A malevolent pact with nature / 
rending her life asunder.

Then new life stirred within the 
shadow's cryptic realm //
From fresh tilled dirt and top soil ground //
A sinister transformation... 
...a harbinger, 
sprout of chilling qualms.

On All Hallows Eve / 
stirred by the relentless creaking... 
of... 
the... 
chair.....

She rushed and she stumbled 
for she was caught 
in despair's whirlwind.
Her heart pulsated 
rhythmically in tune.

The moon... 
a spectral lantern / 
Drenching the desolate landscape / 
in silver light...
Casting ominous and writhing shadows... 
that echoed with...

The dread of Walpurgisnacht.

A nightmare, 
a beautiful grotesque masterpiece:
His form, hideous contorted, 
agrarian exhorted,
A thumb oozing... with / 
red and green blood...
Nature itself warping and ravenous.

"My Groom," as she spoke to this agrarian figure.
Now Love is ensnared in a sinister compact... 
never to relinquish its grip.

Her Fervent devotion / 
embodied in the... 
Mandrake Sprout's insidious clasp.
Slowly rocking, miraculously... 
...a dichotomy, 
back and forth as the moon departed...

Entwined for eternity... 
Bound in a loving unholy pact.

shadow puppet

my hands are cracked and bleeding 
I gag as bone protrudes 
but the show must go on. 
my hands are tightly bandaged 
once i disappear behind the screen 
and light illuminates my hands 
I look perfect. 
I steady my tremors 
and put my focus 
into my performance. 
I wish that someone 
would peer behind the screen
kiss my hands 
and hydrate my skin 
with tears 
but instead 
I watch others puppet shows 
at the slightest mistake 
I waste no time 
I rip the paper 
but there they stand 
soft, unscarred hands 
I’m forbidden form their theater 
for ruining the show 
I learned to stop letting 
my insecurities show 
but I always worry 
that others 
struggle the same 
almost to a fault 
but instead 
I hide behind the curtain 
bandaging my broken hands

Premium Member A Memory Came Knocking

A memory came knocking
On the forbidden door
I had Locked it far away
Reliving it no more

A memory came knocking 
Musing in my head 
Rambling on, it did not stop
So I wrote it down instead

A memory was angry
Living in my head
Vexed and tumultuous 
It got me out of bed

The room was filled with anger
Curse words, fists, and fear
My mother and my siblings
Abuse and full of tear

A memory came knocking 
It took me back to school 
My sadness overwhelming
I acted like a fool

A memory came knocking
It left with it some dust 
At seventeen I had given up
And started to self-destruct

A memory came knocking 
The drink, the weed, and drugs
All I was really searching for
Were love, some care, and hugs

A memory came knocking 
Surprised it was to see
How life became my vice, 
How it took care of me

A memory came knocking
My mind now strong and sound 
Remembering with gratitude 
The love which I had found

A memory came knocking
I saw your lovely face
My heart was never happier 
It has now found its place.

A memory came knocking
It found me on a beach 
Sipping a mojito with my " cockroach"
Enjoying the Mexican heat

No memory could hurt me 
I bolted back that door
A peacefulness transcended
I had gotten to the core

The angry memory
Never returned 
It met with its demise 
The damage it has left behind
My youth has paid the price

A memory came knocking 
I took it by the hand
And slowly all the memories
Started to disband

A memory came knocking
Retired it had found me
Sitting on my swing
With a brandy and a good cigar
The birds began to sing.

A memory came knocking
Willing me to write
A battle to be fought 
I took my pen to hand 
and off we went to war!

Premium Member Tears Of A Clown

     Yesterday is gone
     Today to run
      Tomorrow will wait
       also to smile at
       the veteran mocker
      or the jubilant joker.

     But tears of a clown
     always to roll down 
     with heart beats of the joker :
     A veteran mocker.

     Dull days  are spent by the Joker.
     A veteran mocker
     amusing the spectators 
     hiding his tears
     flowing continuous 
     with each heart beat
     making himself fool simultaneous,
      showing himself ridiculous.

     It's his job
     none to listen his heart throb :
     always to be ridiculed by mob .
     Tears of a clown 
      rolling down
      in opulence ,
     intense or immense 
     yet hidden
    as forbidden 
    to express !
     His strain and stress

Guinevere At the Supermarket

I hear girlish laughter beyond the bagged onions.
Imagine her swimming naked among green ripples.
Her white arms are lily stems, hips as sleek as an otter
flow in a neon moonlight.

A sound system promotes discount cookies.
Visions of idealized females fill the dairy product section.
A courtly love of grapes spreads to the potatoes.

In the toy aisle, Avalon, Camelot, and Tintagel
appear in plastic miniature together with rainbow painted ponies.
Between the crisp covers of Guns & Ammo and Cosmo,
Annales Cambriae, Historia Brittornum,
and the writings of Gildas shimmer in periodic reality.
I should turn the old legends off, but the Kimble audio
keeps me walking with Malory and Tennyson.

In toiletries and cosmetics, I find her.
A teenager shyly laughing as she texts a boy.
My imagination reaches for the forbidden,
a fruit that was fresh this morning –
a thousand years ago.

From Starvation To Temptation

Starvation.

I closed my heart to the satisfying
My primative and physical needs inside
To avoid dealing with the negativity.
That too many people seem to bring.
Becoming parasites along for a free ride
Wanting only to demand to much from me
A one sided pleasure is not my kind of thing.
So I turned cold till those feelings died
 
    ****************
 
 


Temptations

The dawning of the bliss
Someone came along that stirred
those dorment longings in me
Long neglected, I didn't realize I'd miss
Nothing like what I remembered
He brought me into a sweet reality


Finding wonderful abandonment
within the wild dreams of my mind
My passionate emotions run free
Enticing me to sensually experiment
Bringing forth the forbidden kind.
Hungering to open my sensuality.

The punctuation of smothered desire

In our next life, 
let's swap lives,
You become the poet , i become the muse
You yearn for me while I stay oblivious 
You write books on me, 
while I don't bother

In our next life
 I get the flower and you deal with the thorns  
In our next life
 I love me like breathing 
while you admire my dawn.

After all,  the knife was your's and the wound was mine
 Yet, Yet 'I' called it love every darn time

Everything you made up
Everytime you gaslit
My brain denied but my heart didn't

 The fire of desire was to be smothered by ice 
But neither did the fire burn my ice( My Brain), my ice was frozen in
 Into neither believing nor confrating
 for confranting was forbidden by fire(heart)
 and acknowladgement is mocked ice.

But now when ice melts fire 
the birthing sunshine kills desire

 here l am standing still 
Standing strong like never before

For now I have learnt the art of letting go
The letting go of love
the achievement of wave pain

Now I have learnt that love doesn't circle
 I have learnt that love maybe was just mend for us
For now I know my smothered desire and my shaken fire Would STILL ROOT FOR ME

But I am still fond of the time
When I thought the stars aligned
aligned to show love
But soon realised thats not how they rhymed.

And now when I am learning the lesson of faith and letting go of your vain

When ice is estinguished and fire melted

And Now finally ,
When I can not unlove you 
I envy the people who never met you.

Premium Member Guess Who

Born in London in eighteen eighty nine,
a 'rags to riches' story just like mine.
His childhood was full of horrid violence.
In adulthood he was the king of silence.

In silent reels of comedy he found his fame.
Moving to America is where he made his name.
Through slapstick hilarity and tender tears,
he entertained the world for countless years,

Known for his speech in the Great Dictator, 
mocked Hitler, but was seen as a traitor.
Criticised for refusing to go to war.
He was a pacifist, so it caused uproar.

He said his mum was the first to inspire,
he was knighted by the British Empire.
Married four times with eleven children,
had many affairs seen as forbidden.

His laughter was born from the deepest pain.
His artistic spirit will always remain.
He mirrored life in hues of black and white,
whilst painting dreams as a beacon of light.

Stargazer

A thought to dare-dancing 
in shadow-light dreaming.

Eyes wet with the unseen,
a forbidden gleening.
If only unforseen.

Within golden breast heaving, 
rib expanding in unison with destiny's
anatomy of anything.
 
Outlander girl, another world, love is scheming, 
there.
Pregnancy in the Killing Season.
Did you really think it not.
Think it not dire, dear.

 Vibration echoes upon the unthinkable, 
implodes heavy nova.
The brink, taken in as an expression, 
a Mavarupa childed by the mirrors tear.

Buoyant brain zeppelin, 
thickly impended, unsinkable.

Time for the unthinkable.

A black hole escapes from itself,
running naked, un-apprehended by reason. 
Un-attended fruit it grows out of pure desire, 
filling the barren void.

A Cancerous Life, it does not recognize boundary.
Innocence sits on the Father's lap,
melts his heart at its Foundry. 

Creation has mused the Great Poet 
into bemusement Bonnets and Sonnets, 
infusements 
into sunsets.
The choosing of Sun dress.

Go now child, into your other World. 
I will keep you apart no longer.


Jealousy mingles
into the wide eyed guffah of Satan maw, eyes gleaming.

God tells him to STFU.
This one, Her essence is stronger.
There, here, is more than what is seaming. It has waked from its dreaming.
