Rapido

"Rapido" 


walks on water fast
salty trinity 
soul heeling

a pearl reflects wisdom
on indigo see, the mirror mapped
dancing with diamonds 

the light shows 
characters 
rippling mirages 

compasses peppered 
rapt in black 
and blue velvet

soon arrives the Morning
like a twin, golden apple
rolling before us

Apollo 
alighting upon a floating chariot 
racing white horses 

a storm 
is approaching
harnessing the tornado

petulant Horseman
Apollyon, hit lists,
in raised fist

riding a magic carpet

(LadyLabyrinth / 2023)

Premium Member Sailing With Winds That Blew On Blue

Defrocked yachts on moorings in the bay
Pull at tethers like dogs yearning for a walk
The ruffled blue waters, rippling white glary glints
Sea of sparkles, gentle tiny flashing lights like town twinkling at night.

Listen closely as the bobbling yachts creak, groan, rock and lilt
Whispering and murmuring sea shanties to each other.
Hoist the main, unfurl the jib
Drop the mooring rope, unleash the boat to sail.

Horses loves to run, sailboats loves to sail
Straining, heeling over, yielding to wind
But contriving to trick the wind to grab its power
To drive the yacht forward through the sea.

The waves are sliced through, and surface waters parted
As the sailboat flings delightfully forward
Relishing the sail, frolicking with crew
Sailing free on true blue waters 
With true and steady winds, that blew and blew on blue all day.

Premium Member Maestro

Maestro bows, a motion lulls thunder, 
ovations a period of heeling, a clap
diverts a few, then attends silence. 
A typical cough failed its challenge,
disturbed section promptly affects
a hall--indulges the jittery few. An 
abrupt tapping expresses with 
distinction and a Grandeur Hall 
transcends towards the respective 
measures that virtuous it's due.

His first appearance in the luxurious 
auditorium, covetousness befell the 
many, save one. Maestro entranced 
a curve amidst a grand hall, fulfilling 
hopes of men who are dropping jaws
and the prim-n-proper ever-widening 
pupils for cosmetics lost effects.

As the thickness of the drape-enriched 
velour, entrenched symphonic, designer 
concertos, intricate waltzes, filament of
operettas--richly curtained memories
bliss. 

Maestro's music world is the gist of his 
being. To suggest other worlds, why 
bother, it's just the world of music, and
that's the end of it. It's not a peculiarity
when one's grasp of the world is finite 
and specific, that's what defines him.
I certainly don't want to be in a spot 
when I'm in a surgical room, having my 
heart worked on and standing there in 
surgeon's clothes is the local dog catcher. 

There are no hidden agendas. His life is
an open book. Life can be much simpler 
if there were more people like Maestro 
when he made up his mind it be so, 
assuring his notoriety and, without a 
doubt, a place for his name in the annals 
of music history.

Premium Member Sailing on the Bay, a Living Poem

On the bay the wind is scurrying
along its flock of waves,
with white crests honey combed, 
to flip over their edges,
on blue foreheads.

The bow of the yacht slices 
through the waves driven by the wind
in the sails, rattling the rigging, 
heeling the boat over,
relenting to force of wind,
tricking the wind to drive the yacht
forward wind into the wind.

On the bay the currents play with the tides.
The ferries ply their routes, 
hurrying and streaming,
with passengers waving to passersby 
for no good reason, for no one asks them why.
The ferries toot their horns to 
sloops, ships, skiffs, tugs, tinnies, dinghies and row boats,
hoping they will get out of their way soon.

Dolphins, twist, glide and turn, riding the bow currents.
They pop up to say: "Gidday!", "How's it Going!" 
Surfacing for a one-eyed glace up at
the bow-riders standing up front like a figurehead.
Gulls dip and squabble overhead, as terns dive for food,
Cormorants pop to the surface looking around,
before diving back down,
with syrupy smooth surge below.
Pelicans cruise by like flying boats, with folded bills.

For whatever we lose from ourselves on the land,
we'll find it again out there on the wide blue sea,
where life began, and it still sustains us.
For Planet Water is indeed our true home 
where life began in water. 
It's our matter and matrix, 
mother and medium.
Truly our everlasting living sustainer.


Heeling Mephistopheles

"Heeling Mephistopheles" 

murdering crows
flies in on the bow 
of a Stradivarius 

strange webs cleared
from the mind of 
Machiavellian insolence 

insisting life written 
by dancing fingers
pressing monochrome

due diligence for justice
wrapped in blankets of 
cloudy deliverance

tack a piercing 
bittersweet 
entendre

all the ebony wiles 
imprinting jewels 
for stringing 

persuasive 
shiny 
stratagems

become ivory pearls 
tingling vanilla dalliances 
crisp and clean cut

new teeth 
for gripping
dark contra 

bones from corsets
broken and scattered
for ancient tomes

maestro buttons 
for plucking 
songs home

sharp pleats 
skirting over 
what’s buried beneath

floorboards
fathoms deep 
waiting for its feed

words slip through 
eye of needle, the threads 
flowing cursives

through the cracks
osseous matter for a black dog
composed humming Bach

impromptu strokes
for hidden angles
offering tongue out 

for words, to speak 
angel notes
like legs running 

across fresh sheets
bars raised ropes
concerto chords

like sails billowing 
helm held hard
fast forward en route

encore
dark Mephistopheles

Premium Member Tooth and Letter

He put his tooth under the pillow along with a letter that he wrote
It was a request for a wish from the Tooth Fairy that he scribbled on his note

It read:
Plees insted of muny cud you grant me this 1 wish
Cud you go to the hospitle and giv mi Mom a heeling kiss
Cud you make her feel all beter, cud you make her feel all rite
Cud you as a anser to this leter bring mi Mommy hum tonite

He woke up anxious in the morning to read the Tooth Fairy’s reply
He took the letter to his father who read with tear drops in his eye

It read:
Thank you for your letter, that was a thoughtful wish
And your Mommy asked that I, please reply with her kiss
Your Mommy had to leave last night and join the Angels up above
Even though I couldn’t bring her home, I brought you all her love

He looked at me in wonder; sorrow etched upon his face
Where his front tooth was yesterday, there was only now a space

He said:
Daddy, maybe you should loose a tooth and write a letter too
So, the Tooth Fairy can also bring some of Mommy’s love to you

I told him, “Mommy’s love fills up this house and always will be here”
With tooth and letter in my pocket, I hugged and kissed our little dear

Guilt, Remorse and Sorrow

Guilt, remorse and sorrow
are the unrepressible emotions making me restless...
as they revoke their dreadful images,
leaving hot sweat on my wrinkled pillow,
and though I did hurt nobody but me:
it's a wound that will keep bleeding,
never finding that source of heeling;
and the longer I deny it, the more it haunts me!  



God, give me Your revelation on how I should live,
to avoid the pitfalls that can make me stray;
God, I desire nothing more than mercy and joy!
I tread at the thought of the coldest grave;
locked in a coffin, buried underneath the heavy and damp soil...
with no air to breath, and no sun to feel and no love to give!
God, when my time draws near, all the bells will toil;
and will some of Your angels watch over my resting place?

 

If the main reason for being born is to build moral and character,
which deeds you demand of me that I perform in Your sight? 
My ancestors sinned and I, too, must pay that price: 
being imperfect and committing all kinds of vanities,
and still You consider me Your child and shine light on my path!
How ungrateful could I be with all the loving-kindness,
and undeserved generosity you shower me with...
when guilt, remorse and sorrow are all I have? 



The older I get, the more frightened I am and all the foolishness,
which was evident in my erroneous lifestyle, loses its effect
and grip on me, revealing itself in that contagious and ugly aspect;
and who could return to the sinful ways and do more harm to himself?
I advice others to heed and redeem themselves before time prevails,
and offers no other chance at salvation! When I will be dead,  
this voice will cease to speak...and I won't be found where the evil spirits loom;    
and without guilt, remorse and sorrow I will be another corpse in that tenebrous tomb!
