Premium Member Fabulous Fall

My most favorite season of them all
is autumn, although some call it fall.
A kaleidoscope of such colorful leaves,
drift from trees on an autumnal breeze.

Leaves of ginger, ochre and fiery red
twirl in the air, and land on my head.
As we walk in the glen I cannot resist
kicking the leaves - hubs tells me to desist!

The biting wind has chilled us through,
so we amble home to eat warming stew.
Fall brings shorter days and longer nights,
snuggling by firelight’s one of falls delights!

Nature's Tit-Bits

Nature's tit- bits!



Gentle droplets of  rain
on the colocasia leaves
slide like glossy silver grain
wish these pearls my palm receives
and I weave them into a chain!

A black-pepper vine 
climbs round the coconut palm
saying 'am yours and you mine
wish this obsession to my heart embalm!
and me in my love -life  assign!

In the moist soil take shelter
black ants and the root-grubs
safe beneath the damp leaf litter
My heart seeks refuge in such secure hubs
and wish my life with deep trust glitter!

A squirrel burries the nuts in soil
leaves there to sprout as it forgets
Trees do come up as bad weather foil  
wish I plant in my life such goodness
and let sweetness in others' life uncoil !

Premium Member Eternal Minute Lodged

I’m in touch with my earnest feelings,
delight, pleasure, elation, gladness,
each day I awake to sunshine,
is’nt it such a  grand privilege,
which I now  deeply cherish,
 for eternal moment  lodging,
without inhibition or delay,
or at random  point of reference,
other than to pause and gaze,
in burghs, hubs, alleys, drives,
to treasure, revel in, foster 
gatherings of cordial folk,
who sense fellow inklings,
that impromptu golden spark,
of hobby, post, humour, zeal,
as time that astute passerby,
non judgemental watcher, 
sentient in its observance,
does not dare  to cut across,
interrupt or belittle magic,
on the hour instant interaction,
vital for searcher’s true quest

Premium Member Christmas Gifts - Be Careful What You Wish For

I'd wanted a boob job for years
Loud moaning was all my hub's hears
Neath the tree there's a voucher
Soon I won't be a sloucher
Hubs thoughtfulness brought me to tears

His present was such a fab gift
Boob implants and a full face lift
Now blokes ogle and stare
You should see hubby glare
This present has now caused a rift

Next year on our pine Christmas tree
A voucher for more surgery
With huge boobs I was cursed
I'll have the op reversed
Not all gifts will make you happy

Premium Member Darkness over the land'

Its 9'30 monday morning U K time the skies around London are the
Grey of grime.' Its like in the evening', a somber scene i
Think its taken from 'middle earths book' the fellowship of
The ring.? As by mechanical means the sky is sown.' To
Drown us in gloom, these clouds are grown.' To deny real
Life..To cause the farmers strife.' I consider only sad beings, could envisage and plan such an innings' closing
Churches and pubs.' Which don.'t need the pre-fix of hubs.'
Yet there is great capicity in humanity..' innate intelligence
That will counter insanity.' Dr evil and the devil bankers real Sickos.'  Can only be the answer.' May the evil curse of
Pathogens enter into them and cover them, may no rest be given
Ever.' to these cretins of wicked endeavours.' May they be
Soundly mocked and forsaken. May their very  presence of mind
Be taken.' May every sickness be their portion.' May they
Be a lesson of morality and cause repair.' So to the Bible
Many will hearken to avoid their own souls being darkened.'

In the beginning ...," roosts; 
            Christians and Jewish boosts.



                     Hubs stretched out their ellipsed
              rung, un-Earth cures eclipsed
       space; science clues darkling,
emerging as sparkling.



Up and down, primordial
           chains--retards cordial.
                 Time slot checking briefly
                          when brain cells claim chiefly.



       Focused an analyst
         review a panelist,
     truth and not devious;
   now, post-, and previous.

                                                 Be of good health, nourish,
                                                    mindful, and to flourish
                                                    together ... we harness
                                                our outreached true farness.

   Constants are the scatheful,
     equaled by the faithful ...
  life marks trails that puncture
     time cross-over juncture.



                                                                     Naysayers, "That's crackpot!"
                                Truth smiles at the jackpot
              as hopes, a bit mournful
              of those fiercely scornful



   Truth be told--mortified,
      unseat those fortified,
         advent-relegating
            actions delegating,
               doting are distinguished
                  evil hailed extinguished,
                     sage passage dutiful,
                        heart imparts beautiful.

                                                Gauging your fealty
                                             accents self-realty ...
                                          descension diminished;
                                       exalted goals finished.

                                    Daily scriptures strengthen,
                                 understanding lengthen
                              all regenerated
                           by the venerated.



   A righteous behavior,
      prophets teach, a savior ...
         of a lost lamb was--not,
            for The Shepherd does--not,
               hence, Heaven will cherish,
                  hell reroutes won't perish,
                     reborn renews brilliance,
                        transforming resilience.

Ancestors exchange grave turning with Christ, shame and tabooed, religion painted, men claiming and looting from the poorer, shaming and tainting the believe 

From calling themselves pastors to now, prophets, revelation has foretold, the time is now, the show on play, everything sounds and look unreal, on this audience seat I'm crippled by disbelief, I keep not waking from this nightmare, how I wish I could

Churches from prayer houses to prey dens, pastors from men of God to monsters and predators. Greed and fame blind folding faith and religion, safety and human dignity flushed down the drain

Everyday, everywhere women and girls perpetrated, wolves in white collars and fancy suits.

Churches downgraded from prayer houses, to molesters hubs, from sacred places to gambling stalls, from faith homes to wickedness labs 

What has the Christian fraternity became? My toddler asks.  Fear creeps in, my tongue twist, words fail to represent my shattered respond,

safe places on earth have ran out, nowhere is ever safe in this world, 

Hell drew near and your flames engulf us all, humanity has perished, life no longer matters, this land has been profaned, blood in innocent hands of innocent

Death take us all, you our last hope, for hope in this hopeless world has been hopeless, a hopeless nation, in hopeless world , all leading a hopeless life into a hopeless tomorrow, this is too much, 

end of the world please rush, the waiting has been way too painful to endure.

THE BEAUTY OF DUBAI

Dubai, a marvel nestled between nature's grandeur and technological prowess, enchants with its mesmerizing beauty. Skyscrapers reach for the heavens, their sleek forms kissing the azure sky.

Once tranquil fishing villages along the Arabian Gulf, now bustling hubs of life, Dubai boasts floating and soaring structures, embodying modernity's spirit.

From the curved grace of the Cayan Tower pulsating in the city's heart to the majestic embrace of the Emirates Towers, and the opulent silhouette of the Burj Al Arab, Dubai is a captivating sight.

Its beauty, a seamless fusion of human endeavor and natural splendor, transcends cosmetics, radiating from its gleaming visage, a testament to innovation and harmony.

Scan of a Fitful Man

I am slid into the core of the big white tube.
It will reveal all my moving parts
all the flagging and wheezing organics
that reside in the same apartment block,
share the same airducts and plumbing,
but otherwise hang in semidetached hutches
strung around my walled city.

My neck hurts, the cat scan takes time.
I get to thinking about cats,
how they curl up to rest
in the most unusual places. Cat’s would probably
sleep well in this softly clicking tunnel.
My head needs a pillow, arms akimbo aching.

After ten minutes of thinking in this sterile cylinder
I am an annotated movie of my life,
a surface feature for the paranoia of clinging plants. 
I trawl stagnant pools for whale calls
or anything that can sing in my turgid being,
but only a headless language
floats up.

I can only listen to organs stirring; some drool, 
some open small gummy gobs and gills.
Dim rheumy senses squint. Pulpy cisterns gurgle,
glands groan under a weight
only a shut-in darkness can weigh.

Transportation hubs and their arteries
continue their tireless gift-wrapped deliveries.
Muscular chemicals continue their Peloton workouts,
but the body as a whole is still wearing away
what it can’t afford to lose. 

“All done,”
a disembodied voice declares.

I am conveyed outwards 
on the worlds shortest rail track, 
leaving parts of my mind behind to clean up stray fears -
remove the litter of mad ponderings.
Results will be days away,
until then black cats in lightless rooms
must find a way to be seen.

Hubs

I met her in an International airport
we both chose to reach for the same magazine
at the same time.

Hubs can be vortices, either
you make your connection, or you don't.
Delay can lead you to travel different ways.

It was a 'Nat Geo' publication
so naturally we fell to talking
about our best catches and the ones that got away.

When they called her away
she hurriedly told me she was heading for Venezuela
for a photo shoot but lived in Seattle.
I told her to look for me in London nest time
she was there.

Time past. The connection was lost,
bad signal, bad timing, low energy-waves
in the stratospheric miasma of kismet?

Years later I saw her work in an article;
lizards, snakes, and exotic birds
but none of her.

I drove to Heathrow Airport anyway
just to feel again how close
distance can get.
