evening rolled into 
my self conscious beliefs
during a subtle warming 
of climate change

i'd completed a list 
of life's worries
that had henceforth succomb 
to a natural disaster before me 

why i was quite tempted 
to hunker down beneath whims 
thee hovering of thee vanishing eye 
from this tropical storm

brewing within my soul 
emotions were stirring about
calalities of sudden laughter 
hazing almost above the hinting 

of rouge the sweet nectar 
surrounding suicide thoughts
a bleak craving of balance 
between life and death

why i'd explored eternal meaning 
immortal matter consumed me 
wrapping my body in a mauve garment 
of my past my present

as my future mingled about sanity 
madness had occured over time 
an yet i'd never felt 
more whole before

than in my death 
created somewhere within 
my own mangled mind


Premium Member Does Polly Scientist Want a Cracker

If one really cares 
They can approach their local Mayor 
To ask them a question on a Greek organization hazing dare 
Either walking through the outdoor mall 
Or in a bathroom stall 
Yes in the can! 
A citizen can make a stand 
While dropping a their flap 
Making sure the Mayor knows where things are at 
It is the people’s right when seeing a community official in sight 
To let them know of their plight 
But does a person have the access? 
When political leaders deal with the masses?
Or are they dependent on the business suit oriented reporter 
Doing the information recording 
As for getting on the press list 
Powers that be should insist 
Issues be dealt with and not dismissed 
Maturity comes handling a situation 
And experience defines this exercise as a professional position 
Understanding about the communication flow 
Does not depend on who you know 
If an important subject needs addressing 
It could be solved with a simple apology or someone confessing 
Only danger is 
When the biz 
Is left unattended 
A big mess may not be able to be mended 
As I sit here by the ocean water 
After studying undergrad years ago in Florida 
My notebook reflects over the happy hour drink 
Our beloved public servants may want to start to think 
This whole situation cannot get any colder 
And should expect to hear  from the master called the voter 
Flipping the switch in the ballot booth 
That states ‘we have had it’ and we want nothing but the truth

Echoing woes

Petals drenched in poison pearls of emerald envy, 
carefully placed objectives whilst adrift in my tears of realization 

Longing sorrowful souls among lilac lakes, 
buried deep into somber depths of tinkering procrastination  

Starving for ruby righteousness and pristine perfection, and yet still reaching towards a tilt heart searching desperately sunset embers

Distinguishing luminescent authenticity among
 bittersweet endives drifts away with each cooling December

Shall I pursue soft screams for kissed loving 
ethereal roses dazzled with enchanting sensations  

To float away from every twisted hazing hoax with every spoken whirling weapon - coated with fabrications

Premium Member No One Heals Alone

All is quiet
as I exit through the Emergency Entrance
at the local hospital.

I notice a black T-shirt
with a pink ribbon logo
announcing in bold green script
"No one fights alone"

Due to context
I'm guessing we're talking about fighting cancer;
harm taking us away
from health care giving and receiving
we would all prefer
while walking out of,
rather than lying in,
any Emergency Entrance.

But, I am a theologian
by training
and practical parenting experience,
so I'm thinking,
Why do we not also wear T-shirts
reminding each other
"No one loves alone"

Or even
"No one loves to fight alone"
or even just among ourselves,
within our own households
and habitats.

I ponder my way back to humble Yaris,
with automatic electronic nothing,
and on the radio I hear clusters of fighting themes:
mental illness
domestic violence
gun violence
automated weaponry
military fear and threat stress-testing, enduring, stretching, growing
hazing as baptism through alcohol
depression and repression and suppression
acclimation to chronic climates of terror
and quiet climates of ever more dissonance
lack of healing sleep
anger management
fear mismanagement
mutual assured destruction (MADness)
diplomacy by threat and RightWing arms sales
military industries
applied increasingly to personal and domestic disarray,
local terrors,
households
and habitats
going up in flames
flowing under floods...

No one fights alone
just as no one loves peace alone,
and health
and ecological wealth
and ego-resilience
and eco-systemic balance,
harmony,
synergy.

No one can sustain love
while violently fighting
just as no one can sustain this fight
for climates
and cultures
and ecologies
and theologies of health
by thinking we are
admirable
or somehow credible
or even possible
sorting through
and choosing Love alone.

As I exit my car,
now home,
I think
My T-shirt would probably be too wordy,

No one loves to fight disease
and unease
alone.

Especially not God
or Allah
or Patriotic Loyalty to Earth
or wherever we find our 
remember to Love messages.

All is quiet
as I re-enter our home.
I seem to be,
in this moment, 
alone.

Premium Member Petals of Pain

Turquoise tears stain my face
Like violet varicose veins 
Stains of sentimental sensuality
Wrapped in white fears and black feathers

For love has fuschia flown away
Ruining reverie’s red roses 
Turning them black decomposes
Any ink dried died in letters for love

Would have fell on silver sword
Sacrificed, sliding through heart
Silky bloody poetic death 
He saves a cutting of brown hair
And a crimson rose of despair
Pressing between pages of art
Like my onyx broken heart

Was only a notch on burnt belt
Firey from love’s hazing hell
Wicked love spell wilting passion
Kisses rationed refusing
To hold wet tongue’s telling
Of rebelling rose’s rise
In spirit despite demise 

Petals of purple pain 
Painting passion with rain
And teal tears tangerine train 
Of torment trailing behind
Like a wedding dress 
Of jilted beauty 
Doing duty during dilemmas 
Flower to remember
Pressed between pages
Of a little black book
Of love unreturned


Last Call

Life! What approbations to recall?
A solace that never was – Utopia

Should such love get forgiveness?
The seminal seeds of such a cast…

Claims of the spurious narcissistic
Ah! Words, rescind not a sarcoma

lying brashly, filling its poison vial
long swallowed - bona fide denial!

(1/10/2021)

Nearing their curtain’s final fall, they fly
as the geese and monarchs; to warmth they hie
To hobble where once trees stood: golf courses,
smoothed for their lazy electric horses…

Chilled hearts and aching bones pay for the sun
Fenced off for their guarded and landscaped fun
For barely a stone-throw away, poor shakes,
Ripple the divide, hazing man-made lakes…

There they sweat through long sartorial jokes
fearing beams may strike a cancerous stroke
Whites and pastels their preferred uniform
Clearly labeled for their clubs’ garish norm…

Cloistered, they are already neatly packed
Boxed close for flames: coffins securely-stacked.

Missing Time

Focused, concentrating 
 on some random 
   but persistent thought
 riveted in ruminations 
   fixed on point and purpose,
 ponderings deep and dark 
   in retrospective scrutiny;

Aged, antiquated, 
  moments and years,
 decades and suddenly a century
   passe, slipped into senescence 
 names, history
  lost in time.

Startling, staring, fading away, 
 hazing in dull images 
   out of time and out to space,
 evanescence, dispersed, 
   vaporized, evaporated,
 lost in the moment, 
   dematerialized from reality.

Time intervals, stretching, elongating
 millennia unrecorded
  scratching  at eternity,
 forever modes, ended
  life spans, lifetimes, legacies
 names, history, forgotten
  in missing time.

What Lies Behind You

A boy. Short. He goes to school and cowardly hides behind every corner, scouting out what lurks behind the next turn. Always shoved and disregarded, he seemed to have no friends. He was bullied everyday by this monster. Someone who terrorized him since day one. “Why me?” was his battle cry, just before every black eye.

A boy. Alone. He was adored at school. A big jock. He hated his life, his choices. He picked on this kid, a rather small kid, who was simply pathetic. He would catch glimpses of him, cowering behind corners, and hiding in bathroom stalls. It was this kid that made him popular. He did not hate this him, but simply saw him as an stress reliever. Anger reliever. He was praised at school, abused at home. School was his safe haven; his home away form home, but no one knew what truly went on behind that strong, muscular smile. Divorce. Abuse. Shame. His mother was a prostitute, sold every part of her just to manage to keep him alive. His father was a drunk. Abused every inch of him to relieve him of his intoxicated wounds.

A mom. A prostitute. As a little girl she was very bright. Did well in school, and even managed to get into a good college. It wasn’t until that one night she mad a stupid mistake. It was one of those fraternity parties. “All the cool kids went, right?” She would tell her self. That’s all it took. One kid. One rufie. One sip. Next thing she knew she was pregnant. She dropped out of college. Told her boyfriend it was his kid. Got married. And had a beautiful baby boy. It took five years until she told her husband the truth. The truth about the conception. He left. She was alone, receiving no support. No money. It took her one month until she found herself in the back of a strangers car in an alley way for $200.

A frat boy. A stupid hazing ritual. “Host a party. Drug a girl. Have sex.” Only he made a mistake. He got drunk. Too drunk. He had no control over his actions. The demon residing within him took over, raped a girl, and impregnated her with what ruined her dreams, his dreams. In frustration he went to get fresh air.  And made one more stupid mistake. He was conscious of what he did, and knew he could not live with his mistake. Police found him hung from the fraternity balcony the next morning. 

This is in dedication to all those who suffered from something that was no in there control.

Haven

Far away in a beautiful world,
She roamed there as if it was hers,
Trees dripping the tears once lost,
And the hills hazing the vision blur.
She walks in beauty like the night cloud,
For here she felt safer,
Than she ever felt in a crowd,
For that one echo she walked hundred miles,
Still found no one,
But not giving up,
Because she has dealt with denials,
These mere words can't explain how she felt,
For in so many years,
She finally felt alive,
Was she the only one who survived?
Heart pounding now,
Strong enough to make her leave,
But this time is different,
This time her heart's not on her sleeves.
Walking down as the night grow,
Near the moor,
Remembering Poe,
'Silence here, nothing more'
All this while,
It has been there,
That feeling,
Of lost love and despair,
This place feels 'fine',
If that's enough,
No soul, no life,
No truth, no lies.
Crowned she ruled,
The place of her own,
Draped she went with the flow,
Of the songs.
Reality still stalks,
Waking up haunts,
It’s sad that it’s almost dawn,
Regaining the conscious,
Still on bed,
Everything looks so familiar,
Yet so strange,
She felt this urge to leave again,
Leave this place to one where she reigned,
For the hope she could find it outside the door,
She went to sleep once more.

Premium Member Flame of Blessings

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,:>>>>>>>:>,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

of late, a solitary fireman’s  sedate, sad  sobs
sought some balm for his own dreadful sighs,
missing the “arffs” of a terrier he so adored
his eyes slept alone on nights deep in aching ardor…

till he was summoned and exposed to a blazing 
untamed flame, raging a tower wired in wild hazing. in
one giant flash of courage, he threw himself unto screams
of canine thunder. then, a fainting spell. a whisked escape…

brave smoke fighter gradually revived from blinks 
of quick stupor by warm licks lapping his ashen skin.
accepting tender scratches of mommy dog’s paws,
the flapping ears of puppies awakened his kindred desire…

as he gazed into a gauze of grateful reverie , hounds
clung to his belly as if he were a daddy pooch leading
a lost pack, now orphaned from dreadful calamity,
yet his rare touch dissolved tiny pups’ grating anxiety…

a blessing poured from all this catastrophe… fireman
was awarded three doggies’ full custody. for gratitude
is known as a prize for risking one’s life; the bliss 
of God’s gift bestowed on a man and his new family…
