Premium Member Anachronistic Utterances

It is said that the world is quite strong. 
When we both agreed, we were wrong. 
But systemic risk leads to a spare call. 
And it makes life hazy, as we shall.

When weak surfeit fulfills incisive inquiry, 
the diction is made utterly dull and wiry. 
Implied options for a farewell gathering
The effect is similar to lathering. 

A dreadful jester with mixed craziness. 
When guilt clouds your eyesight, haziness 
A genuine illusion and a shaky submission 
You are vigilant in the face of recognition 

Lacking a faithful foe as a recent symbol,
To a mindset that is wrong at its core. 
For the moral majority, act proudly humble, 
to develop skills in each particular sector.

While skilled amateurs and realistic untaught, 
assist fetch harmony to the dissonance. 
This reliable test incites calm unthought. 
That is aimed straight at the outer imminence.
 
It requires steadfast cynicism and rustic grace, 
so as to withstand this negative preening. 
And sway away from school without a trace, 
to allow the word "normal" a fresh meaning.

Premium Member One Among You

but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not; 

He wakes and walk with you,
His breath gives you Life,
He fashioned you in the womb, 
He saw You soaked in your blood, 
form conception to the birth.
I give Life he whispers.

the creator of the universe, 
walk his earth in every home, 
He kept you still, though a rebel you remain,
with entreaties beckoning in love, 
Open to me Your impenitent heart,
I am the Way, the Truth and The Life. 

Your fickle frame you hold so dear, 
and bid Him come another day, 
His mercies  kept and keeps you still, 
while others as young and virile 
passing the vale into eternity 
Live Live, Bruised for thee.

Dispel your impenitent heart and seek Jesus,
see the imminence of the  doom, 
bow to the Judge and Let Him in, 
Even You can come.  
For His cross admit the worst.
"Let me in"  I'll give you rest

Premium Member Languishing Luminance of a Star

Tonight, I sit watching ebony skies
feeling the need for silence and seclusion
admiring the glitter and glimmer of stars
before one by one they disappear.
   There's no solace found
      when one loses luster and then dies.

As its twinkling torchlight flickers,
I drink deeply of its beauty.
  In this haunting darkness of night
    the taunting of its dimming light
once twilight's tattered tint loses its glint,
a star makes way for the moon to take flight.

I fear the imminence of its daunting death, 
   the last gasp of celestial breath
as it outshines the galaxy
before its flaming core collapses.

Suddenly, the night grows cold 
and dire darkness holds reign
   but not from a lofty throne.
Luna's halo has lost its glow.
How stark becomes the emptiness
where a star once heavenly hung.
It's not an illusion of pain...
   I feel it as I feel the chill of winter rain.

It's as if into a black hole of stellar mass
it passes through mordant shadows
   and I, although I fear the dark
      would light a spark as it leaves
and time travel with it as luminance dulls.

If only wings were allowed mere mortals,
the portal they enter, I would breach
to reach its final resting place.

Sometimes, it seems as if in dreams
I follow where faded stars go to die.
Entering the depths of an abyss 
from which they are not reborn.
I shiver while watching them flutter
   the last pulsing beats 
       of dying hearts sputter
         in demise before my eyes...
never to return to celestial skies.

A somber thought enters my soul,
that soon each dying star will depart
  its shimmer veiled then extinguished
     as if snuffed because of its beauty.

Stars should not be doomed to dwell
in skies with holes of desolation.
   I mourn with miserable melancholy,
      the glorious grandeur of its light
       each time I see a fading star,
         languishing as its journey ends.

A cry escapes my pouting lips
for all that's left of its existence
   is stardust clinging to my fingertips.

Mother Earth

Mother Earth

We all share this green planet we call earth
We all have been here since our date of birth
We all are guests on this planet we call home
We all are given this gift we neglect to atone

She gives us the air we breathe to sustain all of life’s continuance 
She gives us the sky above, shelter from abysmal space imminence 
She gives us variances in all of her terrains, many places and wonders
She gives us stability beneath our feet to grow, explore and wander

We rape all of her resources and consume them at will
We have been doing this for years, and continue this still
We pollute all her air, her lakes, her rivers and her streams
We live at the precipice of disaster, yet do nothing it seems

I am in awe of her beauty, her resilience, her strength 
I am aware of all the damage that we all inflict at length 
I am consumed with the fear, all we love and cherish may come to an end
I am confused that we, her guests on this planet, are not a better friend

Ask yourself this question, what can I, just one person do to help, to save
Ask yourself, have I been one of many that have consumed the all she gave
Ask yourself, have I been a true friend to her lands, a true human being
Ask yourself, do I take personal responsibility for all I have been seeing

Mother Earth, my deepest apologies

Eyeball God In Mouth

Eyeball god in mouth

Ostara?...Dio?...Luna? ...

Is light as hunger for colors?

Eros the god of eyes and the hidden feelings
shameful man with erect cock -- sighing sex
in his heart -- a crack, deep and wide!

Black Hole!

Punk rock for a Black Hole!

Rainbow and jubilee exploded in flood!

Like a ***** universe all of our pornographic desires
moments of starving stars and **** stars!

An eyeless god living in a glass tube with hearts
like hot flashes in heat-blasted rooms!
Pulsing pimples -- swirling while a midnight sky
brings forth a cacophony of cosmic screams!

More impassioned raw-animal! More barking!
more vibrations -- more imminence!

More sinewy limbs on show --  I'm looking at --
lifeless grey body but voracious pink face!

It licks and whimpers, suckles and sucks!

Shall I become a statue again? -- glazed face with eyes
sheers-white in precession of Venus?

Hey!  Taint!  Milk it!

Premium Member The Sick Child - Ekphrasis - Inspired by Edvard Munch -

Written: August 5, 2026, for a contest by Brian Strand

             *******************

Artist Synopsis: Inspired by Edvard Munch, this ekphrastic work explores "The Sick Child," depicting a mother at her bedridden daughter's bedside.

  
her pallor smolders with fever 
   ethereal star ensnared
      flickering amidst orbs 
         in hospital harsh haunted husk 
            her mother's vigil-worn hands 
         charting the astral lattice 
      each breath a star-shivered 
   seraphic      benison—
 soft-spun in starry status
ceiling cannot c o n s o l e 

painter stands at the threshold
   brush astral-shivered presciently   
      nebula silhouette of imminence
         his sister's silence
      moon-murmur mantled in mind mist
   mother    ministering     miasma
mirrored in her mute mothering 

blue room breathes its borrowed time— 
   but no hours borne in benediction   
        but layers brittle... blooming...  
     memory    manifold     memory 
   until astral air—   
harbors hard-to-handle hazy halo 

painter revisits bedside vigil
   consecrating grief in cobalt 
      then cerulean
          then ultramarine,
             until silence found its color—
         until blue could bear 
      what blood could not

child tilts toward our blue hush  
   pale as fledgling frostlight 
      her gaze a frail... flickering... frontier  
         fetching farewell & forever 
      between earth and art
   behind her... mother bends
like a prayer half-remembered—

pale benediction   blooming in the blue hush 
 
everything falling—
      time... breath... hope...
      blooming downward 
like frost-born f e a t h e r s

this is how grief becomes light—
   not healed... nor forgiven...
     but given enduring form,
          a luminous presence
     that outlives the hour
outlives its own pale hush 

blue room bears witness
   bright with buried breath 
      bereavement    becomes    blessing
         & flame   forbids    forgetting
               a fathomless... fire-forged haven
             where ephemeral... evanescent eternity
           embarked on an eternal expedition
        summoned silently... sketched in stillness...    
   where silence
found its forever in g  l  o  w

Premium Member Eternal Flames Honoring Nature

Written: September 25, 2023
__________________________________________________________

Deep in the realm of nature, a raging inferno
A power that was blazing for eons, a volcano
It is always there, on the verge of imminence.
It will sing and act for plenty across Providence.

Shrill cries of the toadflax, as sounds in the night,
Whispering secrets upon the ash-covered sight.
Petals of vibrant shades, ablaze with life
As the fire rages on, its flames spawn strife.

The wind carries its messages far and wide.
A scent of pine wood wafts on the ember side.
An unparalleled sense of power imminence.
In the midst of a warm embrace and eminence

It writes its chapters among a million stars.
Flapping in the breeze, carrying the scars
The pooled image vaults and historic tomes
Rooms loosened with worth, cups of roams.

The natural world's walls are akin to a scroll.
The mind-roaming eye captures control.
Praying hearts caught as a leaf in the wind.
Months spent taking solace via lap of mind

One of the first officers to venture door to door.
Lost troops who drove amid peak fires that occur.
The edge is rimmed with undulating brilliance.
Wise lands contain the key to valuing endurance.

To a fire-forged past, a narrative carved in time.
The might of nature is shown by undying rime.
During darkest nights and most severe storms
It stands towering and sturdy, a symbol of reform.
 
It remains unwavering in the face of adversity.
It understands its flames have power worthily.
To be reborn and renewed as rising out of fire.
Eternal flames, a testament to nature's dire

Premium Member Desire Speaks

Tonight I’m in my element
I sense the power surging
To place of imminence
Taking control
I will whisper my demands
Into your soul
You will be transformed, Woman
I will make you
The Mistress of the Night
I start my transformation 
By visiting your lips
I cherry stain them
I enable them to turn seductress
With a smile to beguile, I grace you
You will part them to whisper
Words that will render him weak
Helpless at your feet
I will bless your lips

Tonight I’m in my element
I will tangle my beauty in your hair
Leaving my essence in it
The virgin softness of silk
The scent of summer dreams
The strength of the bonds of love
The flowing movements of liquid passion
His hands will feel my presence
Drawn to these tresses
I will move them
To touch and caress
And at my height of domination
His hands will tug and pull
His lips taste the strands
Inhaling me…
Listen, I am Desire
I Speak

I am in my element
Let me caress your form, woman
Your skin I will soak with my wine
Spilling myself all over you
To make you sweet to his taste
His tongue will be filled with me
As his mouth takes you in and travels
To those places where I lead
For I know your form well
And what pleases you
With essence that inebrites
Your navel will hold him for a while
Until I move him to taste inside
Cherry sweetness of my smile
Opened wide
I am in my element
I am Desire
I speak

Woman, 
I have visited and ravished you
You still quiver from my touch
I've empowered you
Made you a goddess 
A Goddess of love
A Passion Queen
Conquer him and subjugate
For I am Desire
I demand it

Remember my name
You will cry it out in ecstasy
When you come into your glory
When I am fulfilled
I will quietly leave
Like a soft evening breeze

Until I visit you again
I now kiss your lips
Where his taste still lingers.

Passion for what still exists
Phonon of ones fists
Durance of eclectic hours
Fire on the hell gone towers
Phenomenon is.
                                                                                        
Formality for passion
Lacks it's existence 
For it's agnostic purpose
Keeps as moving in a sense
keeps as running fast.


Now we are talking about a synthesis
Signifying why all the resulting heat
Actually its how we make sense to all this
Not talking about the fire they burned at feet
For his true imminence does no wickedness
His light shines complete while darkness retreats
What will 's shall be, always will this be
That is the nature of existence
a chemical reaction insistence

Maranatha

The Maker imparts the mystery of Messiah.
Many imagine him as a militant,
mighty and masterful, yet He’s  meek and mild

The Messiah becomes Minister.
He mixes with the materialistic mob and remains moral.
merciful, mystifying, simple

The Minister becomes Mediator.
He multiplies meals, calms madness and mends miseries.
model of submission and amnesty

The Mediator becomes Master.
He motivates men to mourn their meager mindsets and motives.
Messenger, Example, Redeemer

The Master will become the Millennial Monarch.
His dominion unmatched in merit and majesty.
infinite, immortal, supreme

The Monarch is manifested more and more, moment by moment.
Mortal men must move to maturity in kingdom matters and
like the smart maids maintain lamps primed for his imminence
