Let Go

LET GO       (Song )


Let go of multi-coloured cloaks 
                of rage, of gloat
frothy waves let go 
wild, naked...
just so, just so


Mountains watch fields of 
   wheat let go 
             of chaff in wind
Sun lets go of light to
          present lovely luminous night

 
( CHORUS x2 

Let go, let go, make spaces 
for bounties of aces 
show your limbs, toes
slender or slow, oh oh oh )


Skulls encapped with sequins 
     let go of maddening minds
looking for harlequins 
they embrace silly places


Be friend, not foe
Glow, nigh or high, no sigh
      see afresh what Life offers
everything that climaxes must proffer


( CHORUS x2 

Let go, let go, make spaces
for bounties of aces 
show your limbs, toes
slender or slow, oh oh oh  )

Silent Colors Work of Art

Rejoice me in Rainbow Colors 
For Love,
So sheer White like Scarlet Rose
With Blackening Stem and Naval Petals 

Through Yellow Jail Bar reflected 
I despair the green sunflower yields
Beyond the silver discarded cut grass
The Blackening dove's overpasses  

In turquoise circles 
Returning to harlequins tartan Rainbow 
Artist easels blush in Pantone Stroke's 
Craving Colors 

Dancing and reciting lines from Swan Ballet 
The likes of which
Silent movies and Black and White 
Star's 

Could only Dream of
Above and beneath 
Our Sun , Sea & Star's 

Drawing in Inquisitive passing 
Allien Shimmering 
Flying Saucers 

Wishing only a Self-Portrait of there very own
To hang on the walls in there Space Ship

Carnaval

See the bright lights of the Carnaval.
I wander with the marvels 
In of my sights of beautiful balloons,
stuffed animals capers
popcorn reeks
cotton candy melts
I see the rides, twirl 
I feel the fortunetellers, tell
I see lights blaze, bright 
apples dripped in forbidden spice, nice
The fire eaters drink the flame 
The clowns dance the dance of fools 
The carousel creatures grin sinisterly 
Ferris wheels spins
Feeling the screams of the thrill seekers 
Ice cream melts, runs, in the warm evening 
Gerrish banners flying, high flapping absently 
Freaks babble nonsense 
Laughter fills the twilight 
Treading thinly on hysteria 
In the distance stands a tall tent starkly 
A place of the damned, 
Twisted are the freaks  
Crowds milling like drones
In the masses a figure stands, darkly  
Wondering among the sights
Playing games of chance 
Thrill seekers scream echoing delights 
A carnival in spin my world in turn
I wonder with apathy 
I see what the road has for tragedy 
The ferris wheels spin 
Carousels twirl 
The monsters whirl
Something grins
On harlequins grease stains run
I tread on the edge of sanity 
I feel something come
Seeing the bright lights, 
Dark of the night, 
Feeling crowds of the Carnival...

Premium Member Her Mind is a Carnival of Picasso Harlequins



"Her Mind is a Carnival of Picasso Harlequins"

Walking through the poetic frames of featureless ghosts
her fingers play like harps their ectoplasmic cages
strange symbols that clang the frivolity of vacuumed cleaned emptiness
dissolving in the invisible time wasted in the chronicles of their newfound empires
  
the meaning of their spectral presence swings

like canaries singing home all their honeys sweetly
it’s all bluebirds entertaining the wisdom of lovelorn owls watching on
like they are azure feathered blind mice adorned with halos, 
while the carnal vultures smile winging it above them all in prayer circles predatory

“her tongue is an arena of silent conflicts”

her mind is a carnival of Picasso harlequins
balancing the trapeze, the affairs of a wild heart 
scorched and stinging with fragments of cubist love collages 
arriving like ashes within the flames of her phoenix stages; 
some newly burnt Aphrodite.

elements closer to reality than the abstractions of geometry

A Letter To My First Crush

A LETTER TO MY FIRST CRUSH
My Dearest Kevin
 My hands shake nervously as I write this letter
The fountain pen drips the ink in heart-shapes
Pieces of my heart as it reach out to you
    
I just want you to know that loving you isn’t easy
My dozen of Harlequins and my entire Mill @ Boon
         collection

Have'nt prepared me  
To deal with a player like you 
I heard it through the grapevine, 
That you are heartbreaker and womanizer
With only one thing on your adolescence mind

My grandmother always told me, that
Why buy the cow, when you can get the milk for free
My grandma is a wise woman
More like a heroine in my eyes
I am the heroine of my life
More like a Nancy Drew 
without a clue on how to love you
I am never satisfy, I am curious
And mysterious
However I am very chary
Kind of gal
^
I do believe that
I am in love with you today
However,
I might hate you tomorrow
Because you never know with a secret admirer
To the man I love today
They are nothing more than I can say.
I will wait for your reply my love


Premium Member Is There Life On Mars

Two Martians went on a blind date
They agreed to meet at half eight
Dressed as harlequins
They looked like two twins
Them meeting was just down to fate

They sat down and ordered some beer
Drank it up and were soon full of cheer
They went to a star
Which wasn’t too far
And agreed Mars had no atmosphere

They decided to visit our earth
Most earthlings gave them a wide berth
A photo was taken
The image is makin’
A fortune - just think of its worth!

Both settled in the US of A
Martians friends came on a holiday
Wearing such clever disguise
They look like regular guys
Area 51 is where they stay

Premium Member Buddy Breathing


"Buddy Breathing" 

Ten leagues below
the bed of the ocean in my heart,
strange creatures exist,
they guard the gate 
of all things that 
have past 

the sound of their existence 
is strange music for strange creatures,
words are not written, nor are they spoken,
mute hearts bleeding and eyes wide open
masks are worn down here, like soft harlequins 
glistening sharp diamonds

they carry forgotten meanings in ever resilient silence,

the trick in the eyes is not to open;

we somehow breathe down here 
it’s called buddy breathing.

we try to think of the poetry
in life, remembering the bliss
in our purposeful being,
the oxygen bubbles God bless,
sometimes rise to the surface;

we like to think we are all friends;

some immortalise us
while we die from the bends.

we prayer for miracles
like the 2nd coming

sweet kisses 
sharks teeth 
colophons

and unblessed
un-nun-like 
sisters


Candide Diderot. ‘25







"Swiftly walk over the western wave,
Spirit of Night!
Out of the misty eastern cave
Where, all the long and lone daylight,
Thou wovest dreams of joy and fear,
Which make thee terrible and dear, —
Swift be thy flight!"
(Percy Bysshe Shelley)


                          ****


"I’m blowing further away
This storm is gaining force
Now it’s tripping the waves
How can I test this water
The stars have their say
I shouldn’t admit this but
My heart starts to stray

I’ve tasted white light
Willows weeping
I’ve tasted love songs
Angels sleeping
Fever's breaking
Wild waves
Leaves are raking

I pray to the Saint of all that’s lost
And in the finding curse uncrossed
Wait for the sun to come undone
Signalling me
Out to sea

I’ve tasted Saturn
Seagulls screaming
I’ve tasted shotguns
Apostles dreaming
Fever's breaking
Wild waves
Legs are shaking


I pray to the Saint of all that’s lost
And in the finding curse uncrossed
Wait for the sun to come undone
Signalling me
Out to sea
Out to sea"
(Elysian Fields, "Out to Sea")
