Premium Member Time Signatures Waltz

Moving through the pulse and the flow
A timetable of fixed dilation
A given
And measured 
Ellipse
To the people it trips
As they ride the crest
Of the waves
Of emotions
Just prisoners of 
Perpetual motion
Never ceasing
Never pretending to be
Anything more

Born into the days
Of a future long past
Spying its records
From the start to the last
We are all
Just second hand news
In a land of ne’re to be
Nonsensical devotion
The prisoners of perpetual motion
Elate 
And repress
The We
The US three

The Me 
Myself
and I
Come to share in a life such as these
Checking out the view
I’m just second hand news
In the land of Ne’re do we
Strolling on by and 
Pressing on through
Tasked with its provisions 
And it’s riddled revisions 
Nonsense and fiction
Have found their new diction
Of solar progression
As they encapsulate 
The US Three

Strolling on by 
Pressing ahead
The RIGHT
And the TRUE
It’s textured and layered deception
Held a managed intervention 
Holding within its folio
The signatures of digression
Devoid of emotion
As it’s pendulum swings to and fro
Never able to leave
Or break its grasp
Transcending all in its path

Nonsense and fiction
Wear a guise of suspicion 
Take on a new face
A perplexing division
With its sweeping broad strokes
To embrace and replace the US Three

Brushing on past 
Just a page before
You knocked on the door
Of the garden where flowers once grew
These steps you’ve taken
Left to the tender mercies 
Of fiscal conservancy’s 
Hyperbolic uncertainty 

Common knowledge 
Given breathe
As stolen
A thief
Of the Inspector in chief
His notes plainly written
A solider in part
Has taken my enemies heart
In a fruitless pursuit 
Of passion and pain
Here
I remain
In its orbital dance
The great mechanic has cast
His players
The WE
The US Three

Cry the home 
On this ellipse 
As we roam
The WE
The US Three

The black crow
Watches unfaltering 
With his stalwart gaze
As your counterfeit lies
Sought in other men’s eyes
With a forbodance
Which can not be denied
In the wink of an eye 
Like the pearls on a string
That glow
And 
That shine
As it squares with the facts
In the drivers seat of circumstance 
And at length in perpetuity 
YOU hold the charter to men’s hearts.


We Are Worlds

"We are Worlds"



Internally eternal
in each of us
another world

Unknown 
and alien
supporting strange lifeforms 

hidden beneath our veils
watching silently
illuminating exotic ethereal lines

Connectors electric
touch each other 
another’s  world

reaching out instinctively
we regenerate ad infinitum 
Lux Vitae unfurls

too deep an equation
for shallow minds 
without fathoms

Oceans inside us
drown all our sorrows 
wash our uncertain shores

Inside us souls 
come and go rushing through
like hyperbolic comets pulsating 

Leaving footprints
in our grey matter, they are
translating white noise 
and black calculating too

We walk around
each other 
Our universes colliding

Inside us all our worlds
a million self-perpetuating questions 
we are identification unknown 

taste each our salt 
and each our earth
curiously inside us they watch 

our bodily world turn
kiss life for a little while
we mingle within the frail vessel

of skin and bones, 
inside we watch 
from our world

then to sleep within soil 
our essence is dispersed 
into the trees of life,
 
we quench their thirst
where leaves are veined 
sap questioning a whispering wind,
 
"What was our human’s worth?"

eventually our exterior burns
Ash to ash 
dust to dust 

We are scattered
through air falling on
feathers of freedom

Pieces of us 
fall into rivers
swallowed by other souls

like a time from 
The Dreaming
they are singing us in 

mouths open for sacrament
on the fleshy tongue that now grows
a luminescent pearl 

We are 
becoming 
new worlds

Internally eternal
in each of us
another world

We evolve
in slow revolutions
ecliptic, fields magnetised 

towards each other
Light and Dark matter
our Universes colliding

New Worlds
Soul full
eye to eye

(LadyLabyrinth / 2020)

"The Soul is the Truth of who we are".

Bar None No Shortage of Soap Shampoo, Nor Detergent

Bar none, no shortage of soap shampoo, nor detergent

Courtesy food pantries
Saint Eleanor's Saint Mary's,
Our Daily Bread,
the missus and yours truly (her spouse)
well stocked with good n plenti of
soap, shampoo and detergent.

Spongebob squarepants
would be in seventh heaven,
where sudsy clouds (resembling
Mister Krabs, Plankton,
Sandy Cheeks, Squidward, et cetera),
would drift across celestial vault.

Gratitude bequeathed to prophets of virtue
benevolent good samaritans
who trend righteous true
to the calling of helping hands who renew
faith (mine) in goodness of humanity
assisting not only yours truly
and the missus, but people
from South American country named Peru
or even indigenous tribes
accorded recognition comprising
population of inhabitants occupying New
Zealand, offered reparations

under the Treaty of Waitangi,
a process of reparation allowed
Maori to be fully recognized
at political level in lieu
of unfair practices inflicted upon
original occupant loosely similar
to descendents of long lost tribes of Israel,
endowed with (pure tin) pride
wishing I too could call myself proud Jew,
nevertheless attraction manifests destiny
(mine) someday to learn Hebrew.

Courtesy atheism more so Unitarianism,
I need not adopt
an explicit dogmatic, fanatic, humanistic...,
lunatic, narcissistic, puritanic... paradigm,
but only tout poetic justice (mine)
to recognize laudable traits
linkedin to orthodox faiths,
albeit rationalistic rubric
that caters to selflessness

for no other reason
than allowing, enabling, and promoting
random acts of kindness
without any forthcoming great expectation
downplaying remuneration,
no matter destitution begot mein kampf
hard times living within bleak house
slight hyperbolic exaggeration
poor as a cheesy church mouse poet.

Lemme coast to a fitting conclusion
bringing reasonable rhyming blather
originating courtesy me noggin,
within which wool doth gather
thus I a halt and
dial down philosophical lather,
cuz most likely
ye dear reader would rather
experience palmolive oil slather
preparatory to full body massage.

Premium Member Father-Daughter Dance

I once made a stranger bleed out from his eyes
After transcribing his skeleton, and then reading
His scratched-up bones back to him. 
 
I was thirteen when it happened, English class
When I first realized how a tension can be pulled
From the hoard of another's burden, no need 
For subtlety, even by accident people are dying 
To tell their secrets.
 
It's scribbled all over them. I just hadn't realized 
To decipher it is a gift, a homemade yoke of one-sided, 
Double-bound heroism, wherein the villain is
Eviscerated and simple, usually
It's trying to convince the crowd that gets you. 
 
My father hated me for it—creating context
Drawing attention with an unabashed ask
Based on noticing, saying out loud what was written 
On the face of a person; the collective 
Noun for questions should be called an Innocence 
Since the price of why is too much—too often  
It's an unasked-for Experience 
 
Why don't you get your teeth fixed? I was so excited 
For my father when I said it, not knowing 
Low-income housing, or anything of adolescence 
     when these kinds of corrections usually happen 
I was six, and since Ki-hwan next door 
Had just gotten braces, kindergarten logic led— 
     to my father hitting me hard on the back of my neck,
He called me an ******* for exposing him. 
 
This is not hyperbolic, it's literally what happened; I just 
Kept living life, with the embarrassment of a broken toddler 
Being my dad, hiding so many sins, not all mentioned,
So many others—  
 
I like to think I've won in the ways he was always too small 
To see, that ******* showed me how to keep it moving 
No matter the damage—just because
 
For the sake of his stepfather’s name, that was the template.
 
But I am a woman of a right-now-enduring existential shame 
For the crime of not knowing the age of orthodontia, let alone 
A moment of tenderness that might have saved us both,  

Or had a shot at expunging this right-here moment 
Of being an *******, saturated with a father's impression, 
 
Boggy as the blood-soaked prostate of a long-dead man, 
Surely, I will get over him.

Hippopotamus Having Hyperactivity

Hyperthermia can be caused by standing in slip streams in sluice dumps. It never really fails if ice water can run a lake from a rusted tap. And the mid morning broken by the drip drip drip from a nozzle. Squirt then. Nozzles are not noses and noses are not neon. But bringing a interdimensional b track record is now considered to be as slack as wearing dungarees in a cottage garden or a farm. Wow such rich aroma and oversized overspill of oversight. From a wide lusty frame. Whose discussions with a female mongoose will go unnoticed once the turmoil begins. Cover oneself with fifty six sheets, a record collection, five billion cassettes and consider life as a plant. Conversation cleverly choosing charismatic charming chequered chins chasing chests. And a dodo on a mountaineering expedition with two hundred tyrannosaurus rex, eighty-three teradactals and a half pint of lemonade in a nice clean jug. To wash with not drink. What on earth did you think. The amazement of some is often to the admonishment of another and the cruel multiplatonic indifference is what the name of the takeaway should be called. To be ingested in front of the ray machine. Hypnotic baby soothers. In mass. In amps. En masse. But not en suite. For that is merely utilised for the jam production in many hue and flavour. How very clever thought the passing bluebird. Halfway to town and twenty seeds left. Then right. Fortification of flames on a canal trip taking turns steering. Good. And fashion no necklace into a giant statue of an old hero. Hearing a moon beam then? Good. For at that elevation you should hear even the most daintiest cry from a single blade of field. Dare to dance with that then? Yes? Great. Fantastically freeformed frame fishes. And the hallways smile in castles worldwide. Grab then a hat,a coat, some gloves and build a symmetrical snowman with a crane. Hahahaha beetle borrowing books hahahaha laughing leering lecherous lurking leeches. Xxxxx hyperbolic z this is the midday bulletin from the p y q reporting live from the headquarters at 89.0 whisking. X

Life Lessons I learnt

1. the importance of the Golden Rule.
2. The importance of good manners--especially, Thank U, Please,Please excuse me, Pardon me.
3. The impotance of trying something different to try to solve a problem that you have tried something else before to solve without result.
4. The importance of Solitude.
5. The iportance of meditation, reflection....retrospection, introsepction.
6. The importance of Humility, and apologising when wrong.....of admitting it when it is your fault. Not being boastful or feeling that you are better or more importance that others.
7. The importance of Giving.....sharing...caring. \Being selfless as opposed to selfishness.
8. The importance of being genuine....HONESTY.
9. The impotance of good great health practices, eating and drining healthily, excercise, sleeping well.
10 The importance of accepting your fate....like they used to say if life gives you limes or lemons...try to make lemonade.
11. The importance of optimism.....Positiveness of positivity.
12. Sometimes the best thing to do is to follow your gut instinct(s).
13. The impotance of listening to good music....to your favorite music every now and again.
14. The importance of doing what you love....the things that make you happy.....but not wrong things.
15. Believe in Yourself. CONFIDENCE is important. \you know your capabilities, silence the critics and naysayers.
16. Stick to and follow your principles/morals.....Realise that quite often the crown or multitude got it wrong. Sometimes you just have to think through/sift through things crtically....the importance of critical thinking.
17. Like my Granny used to say....Sometimes money isn't all.
18. Things you use quite often always try to have at least a spare.
19. As far as possible try to avoid people or so called make believe friends whom you find dishonest, hypocritical, devious, deceptive, dubious, or hyperbolic or hyperbolical.


And guess what I challenge any of you to comment with any additional good ones relevant to you and your life that I did not mention here.
