Premium Member Restored In Gold Bold

The free form ceramic sculpture
made by my daughter
years ago toppled off the shelf
in a storm after a thunderous 
lightning clap shook the house.
The sculpture was of four witches
peering over a cauldron brewing 
a magical potion.
It was a very abstract piece.
Three of the witches, shaped as dragon
heads, had broken off at the neck.
Luckily the breaks were clean.
I was heart-broken. 
it meant so much to me
not as bold and glorious piece of art,
but that it was made by her
and given to me.
I thought about a seamless hidden repair
using glue and touch-up paint,
which was certainly possible.
She would never know 
I had carelessly let it fall and break.
But, I would always know I had
broken it and was ever deceived her.
I would have to live with the lie.
Instead I fixed the breaks with bold gold,
adding gold necklaces to all the witches.
To rejoin the three witch necks 
which had broken off, 
and one extra necklace to the one 
that remained attached.
She forgave me and loved the bold gold repairs 
which she said added something extra from me,
for me and her to share.


Premium Member JAZZ

Nail walking down the street
Carrying a bagful to fix something
For the master who owns my dreaming
Storefronts lolling sidewalks asleep
Night quiet jazz, Erie, PA
The endless road breaking cartons
Locked doors being kidnapped jumping
fences getting spotted running away
Dreaming snatches of words in the air
Fine milky jazz boots on a roll a train 
That passes at 10 a,m, cars with their vapor
Mist the chuga-chuga sound of a boxcar to
No-where the rattling of walls when you are
Alone hot tea Lorrianne in a skirt a poetry
Reading in N.Y. moving out with only the
Shirt on my back going down,back,out, taking
Chris to the mermaid bar covered in sand, no shoes
Living nearby close to the sea, changing
Having enough cool to chill sand enough to scratch
That you never itch life that you're full
Digging the Diz and jack going, back going, back going
Because you want to/needing nothing' nothing but a little
Taste now and again just being free doing it instead of it
doing you

Premium Member Rain Down Your Love

With my thoughts
Whispering through my heart
Kind words, graceful
Like the wings of a cardinal
Softly embracing
The soul who needs stirring
By the fire of a passion
So alive it amazes
Leaves the heart yearning
For more of the joy
That comes from knowing
He is there inside
Dancing to the music
Of a soul who is adoring
The One who created
Sun, moon and stars
All the wonder of the world

Praise rains down
Like a free form poem
No rhyme or reason
Only the beating
Of a heart who agrees
His grace, once believed,
Shelters us from every storm
Pierces the darkness
With joy, hope and love
Faith that moves beyond
The fear of one who worries
The dread of a heart who
Buries its dreams 
And fades like the dusk
Into the night sky
Sapphire thoughts curled
In feelings, hope
Beaming through a song
Brilliant as the mighty dawn

My heart needs His love
Falling through me
Renewing me
Showing me the difference
In the shades of night
The shadows and hues
Of a morning who lets in
The breathtaking
Dreams who have brightened
A heart in hope
A mind in wonder
A soul in the knowledge
That His love is alive
Living inside the one who knows
He is there to guide
And provide

Praise Him 
With every thought
Each word
Every longing or hope
Praise Him
For He is good
He is the blessing
The miracle of love
The silence of a heart
The feeling in a light
The soul who knows
Wherever He goes
There is the promise
Of life, eternity
Forever and always
The anticipation of heaven!

His love – rained down on us
Is a love that stirs hearts
To give their best treasures
The glories and the praise
That will last from here to forever

Whiskey For My Men and Beer For the Horse's

Coffee For My Men And Tea For The Horse's 


Free form pain I didn't catch it when you did.
Coming when yours does from where it goes.
To reach the highest point where your placed upon.
A crown of thorns around your brow the cactus saw.
Reading the report that defiantly never said.

You appreciated all the medicine.
Do we specialize as to where and where is there.
Does it not happen was the moon to full to spread.
Or hiding there beneath simply the spectacle.
People looking through the window just to see.
Dissatisfaction with the G.O.P.

Go forth and testify and everlasting is the key.
Go forth and test the waters arid testing,
test your destiny of our destinies lost somewhere out there.
How sweet the sound from your full lips and mercy dear.

Tied to a tree the calf got half way loose?
While receiving more abuse then any man could ever handle.

You did just fine and fine you do it more.
But you do and it is never lacking find your hidden joy.
[God] when life was given- It was never given was truth.
Whose truth is just and that's the truth now you come back.
Because as for the people drinking Tea of that Governor Perry.

Of the latter day today not poured forth from yesterday.
But when tomorrow comes you say is not Bible Beater.
Hearing it once said,

Whiskey for my Men and beer for the Horses.

discovery
let us create a mission to mars
in hyperspace
perhaps a gpt  game
where we isolate known valence electrons
these are source codes of electricity
which anonimity excludes
from detection
in p doping of semiconductors
we capture and confine static discharge
in the server and mainframing of our frame
our constitution
our coins are evident
yet outliers constantly join the angle and rebound
in economic input definitions
i postulate that economic hardship is created
not destroyed
and at the same time the law of energy does not apply here
we need this applicable law of a suppositional phrase
to turn
to turn a phrase
a bitcoin into a reduction of methods
methods used
to dissuade the mind from work
thereby creating dissolution of
of whatever paper exists in the subtext of our register

this non profitable sector in time
comes under scrutiny very often in law
and can improve with our diligence
change is forth coming
duplicate notes and false positives isolate permanent ink
fact checking of legislature in dcma is verifiable
thesis
mla
conclusion
assembly language
general assembly
peaceful assembly
pledge of constraint
removal of obstruction
so on and so forth

Cherished In the Word

I Gaze at the night
and black rivers flow by,
till a nebula falls
and I let out a sigh


Delving so deep
In the wonders of space,
is a peaceful way
to create an escape


Soaring the wind
and feeling a storm,
in a cyclone of want
I cruise to free-form


Writing my heart
into each stroke,
whispering secrets
till my voice croaks


Scrawling emotions
I lay them in verse,
cruising through memory
I sometimes submerse


When anger shoots fire
from the end of my pen,
the earth starts to tremble
and quakes till the end


When sorrow blows eddies
through the halls of my heart,
I weep with my hand
as my world falls apart


As the whippoorwill blowing
across oceans and streams,
Trans-morphing the night
into fantastical dreams


I’ve tentatively reached
to show you my mind,
and in opening my heart
each line was defined 


These Words and phrases
I send through time,
with a passion that flames
and a touch of my rhyme


Till heavens doors
swing open for me,
I write whats inside
in flight I am free

Premium Member Where Evil Creeps

An eerie silence wrapped the bog,
I dared not move nor speak.
The chilling blanket of the fog
where evil beings creep,
conceals within tormented souls 
now stirring from their sleep,
and there with gruesome fate foretold
lie secrets they will keep.
Into the darkest night they prowl
as silent echoes shriek,
and even wolves with frightened howls
hide in the forest deep.
The terror of the living dead
will follow where they tread.

A Quatorzain is a centuries old form that was used by those like Shakespeare for creativity not restricted by strict rhyme schemes and syllable counts per line like Sonnets were. Therefore, each Quatorzain could be an original creation, however, it wasn't a totally free form because it was still restricted to 14 lines and usually written in iambic meter, also, unlike a Petrarachan/Italian Sonnet it usually ended with a rhyming couplet. Some have argued that it evolved into the English Sonnet. Writers often played with the number 7 as I have done here with alternating iambic tetrameter and trimeter. I also used mono rhyme in the trimeter lines (something not commonly done with Quatorzains yet, as I alluded, it's the beauty of a more free form).

Peanut Butter Cookies

Without worry I sit and wonder
When the next batch will come.
Dough rolled out, stretched and pulled,
Broken into pieces and stuck in the oven. Without the confines of an cookie cutter; natural in every way. An free form of emotional bliss laid flat on the pan.
I patiently wait, green plate on the table waiting for the oven to preheat.
The dough rises becoming smaller.
I only hope you understand
How lovely it is to be near someone you love.
Without the concealment of air tight bags they are free, the cookies that bake in the oven soon to be placed on a plate, devoured.
Introduced to the seduction of crumbs that come together; sweet, delightful
Before it fully hardens.
Soft, delightful.
Skinny dipping in an pool of cookie dough.
An illusion of things whole until broken apart by lips in full desire.
Drenched in saliva of deep need
Simultaneously becoming an memory
As well as a part of smiling lips.
The mistletoe that hangs above the heart.
Waiting for another batch made by your hands

The Babbit Runs Away

So much thought to choose from,
  the garden grows well in the rain and sun.
Through the window I can see
  the dance of leaves upon the tree
but in the overcast of cloudy gray
  there is a haze upon the day.
All is suddenly too quiet and too still
  and nothing teases or tempts my will.
For the moment I am unafraid
  watching the day slip by in parade.
No pomp, no circumstance
  no band  to play or steal my glance.
Here comes the rain, at first a drop or two
  then a downpour like Noah's deluge
I run to escape weather's threatening storm
  and the babbit runs away in free form forlorn.
