Premium Member Pearl or Jade Necklace

Quote:"All art is autobiographical. The pearl is the oyster's autobiography".
Federico Fellini

The Taos Indian crafted jewel,  
A necklace strung with jade and some other gems. 
Looked so pretty to me, I bought it on the spot, 
Presented it to my wife, which she never wore in her life. 

Once I asked her, why don’t you wear that necklace? 
You would look pretty in it and would arouse some romance. 
She looked at me and asked, have you ever judged jewelry? 
Whoever wears green stone jewelry, I would rather buy a pearl necklace. 

What is so special about pearl necklaces?  
Pearl harvesters find only in one percent of oysters, 
Its layers of sand, glued in oyster’s glands, 
Still women love the bright white lustier of beady pearls. 

She is gone for many years, the jade necklace I keep in my heart, 
It’s not the value of jewelry, it is what it is sentimentally worth, 
She wore pearl and other jewelries, and tried to look her best, 
If she had worn my gift necklace, she would have looked her best. 

Now I adore her picture on the wall, 
With the jewelry she did not like at all, 
To me she looks the prettiest doll, 
Wearing this precious jade jewel crafted by love.

Premium Member As It Is

The helicopter is tired
of poking its probiscus
into the dam
In the fields
the harvesters are
looking for somewhere
to rest a while
As you climb your
stairwell to heaven
on every other floor
you hear applause
once it was the echoes of despair
but now your bike
has no gears
and the shavings of
your mind you used
to use for fuel
have all burnt up
and the helicopter
is tired again 
the stairwell has
become a labyrinth
and the harvesters continue
not to find rest
but the probiscus
has given you a fever
that if you were a child
it would have
finished right there
but you keep climbing
like the smoke
driven ever upwards
by the heat
of the inferno
way down below
but that's
as it is.

Oh That the World May Be Tranquil

Oh! that wars may cease
Oh! that peace may reign
Oh! that men may seize
brutes who are the bane
of societal peace
so that peace and love
may never be lost
nor our fragile trust
become precarious.
May our many foes
be saved from death's throes,
may tanks be plowshares
and guns harvesters.
May our daily cares
on neighbours be cast.
May all our youngsters
cease evil to learn
by working to earn
their wages by day.
Oh! may the boisterous
child be not consumed
by his fatal fall.
Oh! that people may
seek good roles to play
in a world so small
and shaped like a ball.
Oh! that we may fast
comprehend the times,
as the clock bell chimes,
and all our callous
deeds be not resumed.

Premium Member Unconsciousness

"We are the wandering wonders forever readying ourselves until our next show and we will be even more spectacular than any of our previous performances where we shall not only marvel at ourselves, but we shall dazzle you our world audience
with our refreshing and mesmerizing brand new us." ... by Poet

“we woke up early one morn, ego shorn
it felt as though we were in form 
nodes within stirred, boundaries blurred
our head and heart, with love, concurred”

Do I anticipate, be I forethought,
plan, cautious, store-bought, or am I free thought,
or should I turn and be an afterthought?
Flipflop, reverse or have a second thought.

Mayhaps I be the one in the mirror,
behind the glass or in front, be clearer.
Tell me true, tell me blue, or who's nearer.
Where does consciousness stand; bring your shearer.

Former victims serving others in need.
Lost times we wonder who does a good deed,
deep in prayer, our sins washed, we succeed.
Reclaim, recover, get back, now we're freed.

When we crossed the lines, didn't think it would count,
after all, 'tis a concocted account.
No rhyme or reason, or scheme to surmount.
Pique cross fallacy or clarity fount.

Reincarnation, its majority
tether nature's beast and humanity.
Genesis claims Eden and Ark, singly.
Man and beast aren't one, Christianity.

Pews be filled, constant prayers forgiving.
Pews be emptied, constant those be sinning.
Our measured worth is primed for exampling.
Pews new souls earn Heaven's Gate opening.

Our eyes were opened, filled with empathy.
And see what's meant to be, and not to be.
We're led astray, but here we stay, Glory!
We had learned all about Jesus's story.

They'll be messengers, one true, and one naught.
They'll be harvesters, most rot, others fought.
They'll be winged handlers, who'll descend when caught.
They'll be winged handlers, who'll ascend those brought.

Premium Member Coffee Beans

Coffee beans, a world in a grain,
Roasted and ground, a caffeinated refrain.
Born in the tropics, where the sun meets the shade,
A journey unfolds from bush to brewed cascade.

In the highland realms where the arabica dreams,
And the robusta thrives by mountain streams,
Emerald hills with leaves of green,
Cradle the cherries, a ruby sheen.

Harvesters toil under the sun's warm kiss,
Gently plucking the beans, pure coffee bliss.
Hand in hand with the seasons they dance,
A delicate choreography, nature's romance.

From the fields, the beans embark on a quest,
To the roaster's chamber, where flavors manifest.
The symphony of crackles, a transformation in heat,
Awakening aromas, a sensory feat.

Medium, dark, or a blonde delight,
The roaster's art shapes the beans' flight.
Aromas unfurl, as flavors entwine,
In a fragrant journey, both robust and fine.

Grinding whispers echo in the morning air,
As anticipation rises, a ritual to declare.
Into the press or the espresso machine,
The grounds prepare for their aqueous sheen.

Brewing, a ballet of water and bean,
A liquid alchemy, a potion unseen.
Espresso, pour-over, or a steaming cup,
A daily elixir, waking spirits up.

In coffee shops bustling, a caffeinated hum,
Baristas crafting creations, a skillful strum.
Latte art blooms, a canvas of cream,
A masterpiece fleeting, in each sip's gleam.

Coffee beans, a humble seed's legacy,
A ritual, a culture, a worldwide legacy.
In each fragrant cup, a story unfolds,
A journey in every sip, as the coffee beholds.


Premium Member The Weeds Among the Wheat

 Saints & Sinners in the Church / God's Patience with Sinners / Final Judgment
MT 13:24-30, 36-43

He proposed another parable to them
"The kingdom of heaven 
May be likened to a man 
Who sowed good seed in his field

 While everyone was asleep 
His enemy came 
Sowed weeds all through the wheat 
Then went off

When the crop grew 
Bore fruit
The weeds appeared 
As well 

The laves of the householder came to him 
And said 
'Master, did you not sow good seed in your field? 
Where have the weeds come from?' 

He answered, 'An enemy has done this.' His slaves said to him, 
'Do you want us to go and pull them up?' 
He replied, 'No, if you pull up the weeds you might uproot the wheat along with them. 
Let them grow together until harvest; 

Then at harvest time I will say to the harvesters 
"First collect the weeds 
Tie them in bundles for burning; 
but gather the wheat into my barn." 

"He who sows good seed 
The Son of Man 
The field is the world 
The good seed the children of the kingdom
 
The weeds 
Are the children of the evil one
The enemy who sows them 
The devil

The harvest is the end of the age
The harvesters are angels 
Just as weeds are collected and burned (up) with fire
So will it be at the end of the age 

The Son of Man will send his angels
They will collect out of his kingdom 
All who cause others to sin 
All evildoers 

They will throw them into the fiery furnace 
Where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth 
Then the righteous will shine like the sun 
In the kingdom of their Father. 

Whoever has ears ought to hear." (Taken from MT 13:24-30, 37-43)

A Time To Live

a time to live 
 a time to die
a time to laugh 
 a time to cry
a time to mourn
 they that died
a time to remember
 times we laughed and cried

who can recall the fullness of life
 the time when the fruit
they say has turned ripe
then time to harvest
 weather happy or sad
they pick the fruit
 and put it in a bag
it may be prepared
 for a wonderful feast
or preserved for latter
 when the harvest is weak

but to rot on the vine
 is a waste of Gods time
and sinful where usefullness
 was only deceit 
have they been missed
 by the harvesters hand
perhapes left for gleening
 their second chance

but rot on the vine
 is the devils delight
give nothing to anyone
 and stay out of sight
the time to give 
 is waning fast
we're constantly ageing
 with lives that won't last
opportunity soon becomes 
 a thing of the past
but the best come forth
 giving what they have

it seem's at times
 that they are taken from us
our gentle lambs
 we love and trust
but by Glory they are saved
 for a greater day
in the fullness of life
 they went away
from a time to live
 and a time to die
to a time to die 
 and a time to live

Premium Member Our Fitting Fall

A naked bleakness dressed with sparkling stars,
Dance sweetly taffaria fairies wands,
Auburn burnish Terra foundation scars,
Strewn light rods frock poise for their eager bonds.

Savor sparked light, plated of painted blends,
Generous crops hatched for harvesters pluck,
Heap hued leaves for dives of little friends,
Grand to behold as worn eyes are awed struck.

As the sinking filters down to deaths floor,
Achromatic crystals shroud their being,
Neath browns fertile soil rebirth of its core,
Hibernates for pardoned Spring, their freeing.

Limelight a year; birth, life, dying and death,
Mirror fleeting truth and our fragile breath.


*taffaria; Fairies' wings are made of a special material called taffaria. This ultra-strong, silky and transparent material is clear at first glance but has all 7 colors of the rainbow in it. Red, purple, yellow, pink, blue, green, and orange.

Premium Member The End Is Nigh

As days get shorter and night stretches out.
Summer fades away and earth gets colder.
Soon, Oh too soon snow will again rule and 
the earth will slumber under its folds.

Until then we enjoy the fruits of bounty
smelling the last of sweet summer flowers.
Crops stand ready in the fields for collection
Combined harvesters busily at work.

Fat stalks of golden corn, rye and barley
tied in bundles ready for threshing.
Seductive scents of apples waft
as down they are laid for storing.

Frosts now lay the land bare
as the leaves part company
some red, some yellow, others orange
they blow and scatter in the wind.

Trees looking stark and bleak gaze
o'er the stripped fields with snow sprinkling
the now barren ground and soon Winter
will once more rule in her glory

Gone now the lazy days of Summer
her flowers and perfumes distant memories.
Now the hues of colour are subdued.
And all around the land sleeps on.
