Premium Member Poisonously Enchanted Mushrooms So Luscious Rare

one fine sunny morning dazzling golden sunrise 
dancing with rays of magical sunshine 
dewdrops on silver webs glistening drops
he began whistling and dancing
picking wild mushrooms on the forest floor 
to make magic wonder and happenings occur
he begins building and stoking the fire
throwing turf on until red hot
sticks the pot over the flicking flames 
stirring emotions inside bubble and steam
throws in a mountain of carrots, peas, herbs 
with lots of other sorts of raw veggies
adding a rare drop of mountain spirits . . . 

next freeing a soul adding an alchemic fuel so rare
making himself a most magical and delicious stew
as he cooked he began devouring the stew more and more
then slowly he felt himself floating high so high 
in a bubble so wonderful and dear and so clear 
picked up by a pocket of air and floating even more
when . . . 
 
a lovely fairy princess appears gossamer wings your light
and then appearing again under a radiant rainbow bridge 
and with one cherished and most special romantic kiss
he began waltzing with her to a melody so haunting yet pretty
and while lost in this mystical trancelike moment of splendor  
the fairy princess stole his heart that was pure gold
and when he came around alone—so alone
an icy cold shiver then ran down his very spine
it was just a silly old leprechaun dream and all he thought
as I see her magic sparkling potions cast on someone else too
the big ethereal and mystical bubble of fairy elves just burst
wide open for him and all others to see while the elves 
laughed raucously so hard with little warm tears running down 
their little rosy cheeks . . . 

the leprechaun pondered—next time Me thinks Me be more
careful with them mushrooms Me happily picks on the forest floor—
and stick to drinkin’ the old mountain forest dew with some
lovely luscious shots of the oldest Irish whiskey with a stout nip o’ gin . . . .

Premium Member The Power of Love

The Power of Love

God’s eternal message is “The Power of Love.”  
The power of love is magical and enchanting,
The power of love is exciting and compelling,
The power of love is in truth and honesty always,
The power of love is reflected in one’s good works,
The power of love is reflected one’s true humility,
The power of love is integral to always doing the right thing,
The power of love is a catalyst for humor and fun,
The power of love is what makes our world go round,
The power of love is reflected in your lovely eyes,
The power of love is in your smile and laughter,
The power of love is with us all in times of sadness and loss,
The power of love is with us all in times of happiness and joy,
The power of love is the glue that binds two people in love,
The power of love is a potent alchemic mix of radiance and wonder,
The power of love is in the romantic aura of God’s starlight,
The power of love is magnified by the glow of God’s moonlight, 
The power of love is in every rainbow that appears on Earth,
The power of love is manifested in our soul and our spirit,
The power of love is at the center of one’s eternal soul,
The power of love is in the fantasy and magic of the Unicorn,
The power of love is Mother Nature’s majestic touch,
The power of love is at the center of hope and prayer,
The power of love is in the very DNA of cosmic dust, 
The power of love is in the destiny and hope of mankind,
The power of love is in the glory and hope of all Guardian Angels,
The power of love is Almighty God and all of His Angels,
The power of love is in God’s eternal message of hope and freedom,
The power of love is an impetus to positively influence people and ideas,
The power of love is in the divinity of God’s heavenly kingdom,
The power of love is one with mankind and all of the creatures on Earth,
The power of love is in the wind, the rain, the soil, the leaves, the trees,
The power of love is in the majestic beauty of Earth’s clouds,
The power of love is in civility, manners, and one’s good nature,
The power of love is in the simplicity and wonder of all children, 
The power of love is God’s undeniable divine force in the Universe.

We had;
Interlude and

   A star is born and
Gone with the wind.

   A child bride and

   Cocaine Fiends and
Sweeney Todd.

   The Jaguar and
The gay divorcee.
   The Marx brothers
And the Maserati.

   79 Park Ave and
Mannequin.
   The Porsche and
Erroll Flynn.

   The Rolls Royce and
Curly top.
   John Wayne and
King Porter stomp.

   The Packard and
Hilo Hawaii.
   Gary Cooper and
The Bugatti.

   Frankenstein and 
The Alfa Romeo
   The Fiat and 
Abbott and Costello.

   The BMW and
Eternal call.
   The Lone Ranger and
All creatures great
 and small.

   The Bentley and
Agent Carter.
   The Green hornet 
And Days of Honor.

   An Indian summer
And The Duesenberg.

our hero has arrived

OUR Hero Has ARRIVED
When we were children playing in the street
we had our hero,  usually a rugged actor
perhaps it was Gary Cooper. He had to be tall
walk with a swagger 
To be able to do things like flying a plane, drive 
a car, horseback riding a must 
There was Mars, a planet we spoke of mainly
because it sounded warrior-like
We knew Mars was the planet our hero would
go to Mars sorting out the people, there would
be a shot out, he won easily despite a bullet hit
his sheriff shield  
When landed back on earth, spend time with
us teaching us how to tame a wild horse 
what do you know? 
among us here and now, let me present our
here of yore was not fantasy, Elon Musk!
He lives or dreams, a hero who can do anything
a beautiful mother who doesn't shout at him
for not eating porridge and sardines
He lives our dreams, and best of all, he is going 
to Mars and slay the dragon   
Elon Musk is a living example that dreams 
can become real, lamentable, it took too long
 most of my contemporaries have gone to Valhalla
 or for those who became sailors on 
the island of Saragossa

Premium Member Whiskey Lips So Sublime

Whiskey Lips So Sublime

Whiskey Lips step now over the line of true fire-water,
As a warm-burning brings forward one glowing sign.
The golden mead of sweet mountain dew appears now,
As each golden drop sighs it moment of escape and as 
The alcohol signals and sparks the wildest of spirits in 
One’s own true self! 

This moment of sublime ecstasy excites and sparks your
Deepest inner-spirit and you begin to slur and sing loudly,
As your mind begins to reel from the drunken delight of
Your very own intoxicating breaths—noble, yet stupid,
As you become drunken forever under each psychic sip
You taketh from the deepest pool in the very depths of
Your eternal soul!

Your very eyes now glaze over a breathless message
You have found in the cheapest of whiskey bottles.
Saying a divine prayer to Almighty God Himself, 
You open the bottle cork now and take notice that a
Little genie pops out of nowhere and begins to take all
Three of your mythic wishes granted together into one!

With that, this little genie shall begin dancing and singing
An ancient Irish whiskey song in your presence into the
Wee hours of the morning until you both pass out and fall
Into a drunken stupor with your whiskey lips so sublime!

Premium Member Thinking Out of the Box

Thinking Out of the Box

Ah, yes! It is! Another one of life’s great challenges!
Thinking Out of the Box should never be taken lightly.

Being human beings, it is well worth remembering
that we are all in this thing we call “Life” together.

Does this mean the challenges that each of us face
are easy? No! Life just doesn’t work that way.

There will always be personal and professional
challenges, and tasks and people to test our mettle.

Thinking Out the Box does require, at times, to go
beyond notions, ideas or concepts that are obsolete.

This is where the proverbial “rub” comes in with
human nature, for people tend to resist new things. 

It’s part of human nature for people, at times, to
resist change and become set in their attitudes.

Thinking Out of the Box, in this sense, is not new
at all. It’s part of seeking to improve life’s situations.

Thinking Out of the Box definitely has a personal
and a professional meaning to us in our life’s run.

Otherwise, what kind of a world would we expect to
live in, if all becomes obsolete and there is no change?

In and out the lusty nil wedding bells

(Inspired by Marvin Goldfarb's great contest in which I won a trophy cup and wonderful poems by other English poets as noted below, 'LESSON IN LIFE' by BrittBrattTechy, 'Every child deserves better' by Poetryintheblood, and..'TODAY'S SOCIETY' By Gary. W. Hill.)

My poem below then read the poems I copy pasted in my author notes.

Instead of ' in and out the dusty bluebells ' my title is:
In and out the lusty no weddin bells'

If you are ruthlessly one of those
who changes lovers like you do your clothes
and if you do beget each time
think of the hapless kids you leave behind
rather than the silly selfish fun you have each time
for you deprive them of either yourself
or your ex-other half.
Gosh, it took two to make a child
so it takes two to make it glow and grow
For nurturing them, both of you as couple need show
A single mother is modernity's most pitiable unfortunate sight
Modernisation to be blamed for this miserable plight.
How many times will you jilt and ditch partners
just for moments of nihilistic pleasure and excitement?
But why let your innocent tiny tots suffer
as if children were mere byproducts!
And byproducts of what?
I say, of flitting, fleeting lusts and desirous passions,
when senses can't think of consequence or contraceptions,
for damn it you can't know where and when you will be carried away...
Then the resulting lil angels
to be cast aside as some leftovers
from past whirlwind romances.!

All that merry-go-round of flirtation
Marriage replaced by cohabitation
Falling in and out of the cycle-like-love
again and again for a newfound turtledove!
No probability of any stability
esp with the scenario of promiscuity
while kids suffer from disability.

Didn't the Creator expect all couples
to stay together till 'death do 'em' apart
So how dare any of His creations
stick together merely till 'they get tired and bored? ? ? ?
As if the heart were an everchanging love mart!

(pls do read the copy pasted poems by others below to get a gist of what im reiterating above)

Premium Member Heart of Eternal Beauty

Heart of Eternal Beauty

A flame burns in the heart of eternal beauty
As one doorway opens calling out to the future
Consuming deeply your love smoking very hot 
Faith upon this earth burns through these veins 
Hope knows no bounds or earthly limitations
Stand with me now love on the seventh wave 
As you rise to the highest peaks of true eternity 
So graciously kneeling with the knowledge of
An intoxicating and priceless cosmic jewel 
Chained inside a bond kissing heaven above 
As links hold our emotions in a circle of light 
As gifted feelings combine together to unite 
Our hearts and souls in God’s precious light

Premium Member The Hole Deep In One's Own Heart

The Hole Deep in One’s Own Heart

In moments of greatest loss, sadness and sorrow,
A hole forms so deep within one’s own heart;
There it shall remain so for each ‘n every morrow,
Until life’s end when comes our Heavenly depart!

My dearest, such times of tribulation define us pure,
For we know not all the twists and turns of this life;
We must keep our faith ever true, never it to abjure,
Whilst seeking angelic guidance from this human strife!

As we recommit our true faith in God’s blessings above,
We seek solace in His love that only our souls may find;
With this our passions ‘n emotions form the deepest love,
Giving us His blessing as our souls return His love in kind!

God’s love brings our eternal souls into His Heavenly space,
And makes our injured hearts whole in His Divine embrace!

Premium Member Love's Rapture

Love’s Rapture

That insatiable and forever moment
To capture and hold, deep and dear
In thy heart and soul, whilst savoring
Its enchanted and palpable emotions
For the rest of thy life on this Earth.

Love is fleeting for sure as this aspect
Is a definite part of its eternal DNA in
Mankind’s three-dimensional world of
Finite capabilities and true experiences
Where relationships can last a lifetime
Or be suddenly torn asunder in terrible
Moments of hot anger and sad betrayal
When a couple breaks up and all is lost.

Love in its truest sense of delectation is—
That giddy feeling when two people first meet
That instant when they gaze into each other's eyes
That aura when the air smells of fresh red roses
That hot rush of emotion as they first embrace
That sensual moment when they kiss deeply
That special confidence that all is now possible
That ethereal moment as two souls become one

Love’s rapture is that unique divine rhapsody 
Heavenly sent by Almighty God Himself.

In the end, love’s rapture is what gives all of us
That special sense of affirmation and shared worth 
As human beings made in God’s image.

Amen.
