Premium Member Witching Hour Minstrel

Whatever happened to the twelve o ‘clock rambler,
nocturnal  venturesome brushstroke sort,
they paint sound and city pastel,
never at a loss for inspiration,
weather neither bar nor barrier,
in the face of whirlwind snowfall,
freezing ice, torrential downpour,
within themselves, he, she, they plod on,
hardship is adopted, never cast aside,
while others brazenly squirm,
wallow in uproarious denial,
wilt before the slightest storm,
taking flight in arid comfort zone,
shelter is their first convenient port,
not for stoic diarist this threadbare exit,
exodus of the half-hearted humbug,
but ironclad ilk stubbornly  remain,
eyes and ears are substitute antennas,
alert does not begin an ample portrait,
of this wilful dwindling genus,
genus, genie, genius, glow worm ghost,
peaceful prowlers with pen on queue,
they capture worlds sidereal,
under velvet moon imagining bespoke,
crescendo of cathartic bonhomie,
icy night frost  punctured by high drive fog horns,
deft nib from dark ink manteau nomad,
who engross themselves in light and shade reflection,
how magical their canny weave lexicon,
for us timid souls to relish evermore,
as we balk at the eerie life we revel in,
vicarious the kismet, excitement from afar,
drama under bridges, shadow figure chinwag,
river stream babble, blind alley gust,
eavesdrop on historic past teaser,
litter swept aural gossip whoosh,
eventide mournful dog bark heart tug,
darting elfin’s sly mind peep thereon,
yet the vagabond minstrel has to comb,
each backstreet, zebra crossing, sprawling  suburb,
for inert sleepy after hour dozers,
who crave eye candy fodder as humdrum sidestep


Stealthy Stalker : Me

Eccentric Emma, third world charity advocator
Posts smiling foreground photos in mud slewn villages
Personifying inconsistency wafts remote mantra
Mind realm torrents when Followers Like - limitless! 

Travels to India restore her heart's connection
Finds enhanced spirit to spruke eco awareness
Flying globally promotes environment's protection 
Inspiring group loaded Moped selfie shared with us

Music festival painted face participant
Conjured creation poetry flow in cosy yurt
Auto biography depicts flatulent elephant
Busy vision mushrooms make logic inert

Occasionally posted toddler rememberings
Receive role call of awe drawn replies
Blond curled spark eyed munchkin grin
Retained young outlook, fart poem supplies

Imported stock sees profit from spirulina 
Entrepreneurial shift from childhood ADHD

Nomadic yoga posing 80's born alternate 
Emma, changed her surname to Everfree 
Her permaculture preach has holes in it 
New living quarters each month or three 

Sporadic travels to soul's partner, Hawaii 
Engaged by quest to marry herself 
Masculine inner attributes enlightening
Complexity must be hers uniquely dealt

Keen Facebook fan of spontaneous dance
Rolling to Random Rab, office chair expressive
Arm fling brings shattering of glass desk lamp
Naming failure destiny, stalled artist replenished

Close to home exploits in essays documented
Park brake left off vehicle, ensuing downhill chase
Securing it heroically before damage (almost) resulted
Brings multitudinous comments of (unearned) praise

BABY GRANTS TOY AS FRIEND

                       The cotton monkey is toddler’s play mate.
                       Baby’s innocence on interaction.
                       Being quite happy with inert toy pet,
                       though non- living feels no objection.
                         
                      Eager baby boy communicates,
                      tries to touch monkey being curious.
                      His little brain thinks, also vibrates.
                      Baby grants toy as friend serious.

The less important

Every TV channel
carries
the same news, it is as posted from a news
central Trump is good, is Putin bad
and no one asks about its verity
by some nice people who look sincere.
I'm  overcome by angst 
it starts from the inside going out
my skin is grey and pale and sweat drips on
my T. shirt.  
I should know but I can`t find the source of
its conception, but I try something about
eyes and in them, I read, surprised by the oncoming
I saw him fall
heard the crack of a broken neck
Walking away, nothing I could do but
stepping over an inert body and into boisterous life

Unrelenting Vast is Eye

Line of inquiry: “What is that awareness by which each body-mind feels alive and becomes aware?” : Unseeking Seeker
_______________________________

within mitochondria of every cell 
in all forms exist reverential eye clear
pupil of ALL is sightless, soundless, spaceless
luminous is it

not fluid or corporeal is awareness 
untainted, animated, transparent joy ~
lux connects beings in constant endeavour 
equilibrious  

in progressing silence Might communicates
signals, as mind releases its endless talk 
intellect seconds to observe faculty
sense cosmic iris 

underlying innocence moves, stillness proves 
free from thought, effortlessly aligns context 
outside of psychic perception of need-want 
creates sensations 

gifts directives precise, instant by instant 
movement apprehended, perfect momentum 
depends on subjection of mentality 
temperature change

nervous system feels minute temperature 
variations, as messages to perform 
actions or remain inert, organs respond 
synchronise lung-heart

as persona becomes tacit, Fashioner 
harmonises mitochondria contents 
vibrations resulting in moot wave functions 
awareness arise

noble energy moves across density
grey brain matter, corpuscles, marrow, nerves, bone
containing cellular helixed coding, tones
transforms or spirals

regulated breathe carries electronic 
intra and inter cosmic imperatives
Eye of eye will frequent atomic sequence 
language translates waves

herein lies I's retina causality  
relating to humans through infinity —
life-rotation-death cycles mystical grasp 
Unrelenting vast

how humans utilise power effective 
depends on maturity of crown to bow 
processing acknowledgment of SourceLight

O What A Day

For so very long
They played an insipid yet beguiling song
A sweet lullaby that wasn't so sweet
Deleterious lyrics and rhythms rocked you into a slumbering sleep
Closed eye in darkness, away from all light
Asleep now, inert and fraught with no means to fight
To fight indeed, but there simply was none
To fight for the born right
Sleep in a sombering slumber with no might

For oh so very long, they played an insipid yet beguiling song
But oh, what a day!
When the sheeple awaken
Awaken to a glorious dawn and reclaim gifts that were taken
Oh, what a day!
When the sheeple awaken
Oh, what a day!
When the sheeple awaken
Listen to me when I say
Oh, what a day!

Ice Age Cometh Moot Point 2nd Glacier

Impossible mission to uncouple accountability,
(no matter minuscule - veritable drop within
figurative bucket when quantity contrasted/
compared alongside industrial waste courtesy
major corporations), yet helplessness prevails
survival (mine) inextricably bound trappings
twenty first century allow, enable, and provide

exploiting even dollop so called nonrenewable
resources, I could sacrifice corporeal entity -
body, mind and spirit within eyeblink exhales
last breath before becoming repurposed - inert
cremated ashes randomly scattered across all
points encompassing terrestrial world wide web.

Obituary -
Despite havoc primate species did wreak
from the afterlife I figuratively speak
and applaud millennials whose peak
performance accorded courtesy
your token "aged hippie," 

mild mannered and meek
and long haired pencil necked geek,
whose disembodied spirit
now volunteers as Halloween sideshow freak
incorporating gallows humor tongue in cheek.

Longing

Longing
by Michael R. Burch

We stare out at the cold gray sea,
overcome
with such sudden and intense longing . . .
 
our eyes meet,
inviolate,
and we are not of this earth,
this strange, inert mass.
 
Before we crept
out of the shoals of the inchoate sea,
before we grew
the quaint appendages
and orifices of love . . .
 
before our jellylike nuclei,
struggling to be hearts,
leapt
at the sight of that first bright, oracular sun,
then watched it plummet,
the birth and death of our illumination . . .
 
before we wept . . .
before we knew . . .
before our unformed hearts grew numb,
once again,
in the depths of the sea’s indecipherable darkness . . .
 
When we were only
a swirling profusion of recombinant things
wafting loose silt from the sea’s soft floor,
writhing and sucking in convulsive beds
of mucousy foliage,
 
flowering,
flowering,
flowering . . .
 
what jolted us to life?

Poem
Lionel Derbyshire

And did mine mind
wander to places be
on leaving grey mouths
behind back home
now alone ..
still I sit at a lake
in the park 
named consolation
and contemplate ..
watching calm silver water
sliver into small waves.
I am in quiet ponder time
and wonder home.
The lake is noiseless 
inert and filled with placid art
There is bird and tree diverse
in a landscape ornate.
A goose sails the lake
and pass me by 
in a peaceful industry of
water under cloud
it is realistic theatre.
I stare and gaze
where the geese will sail to
and sleep tonite..
In a chance of reeds perhaps

At the lake I start to contemplate
are my little sisters
safe and warm home
do they have a plate to eat ?
a big brother dear
is always wanted near..
I hear their teasing giggles
when those doll faces
saw biscuits they knew
it was christmas
now I teardrop.

honk .. honk ..
the gander
makes a wed call
he is a contender
to mate new life

peace I feel
my strength is real
I see the juice of nature
I appreciate the go life
which God has dispensed
for me..

But far away i am
from state and homeland
in a land foreign and forlorn
I ponder on my imigrate
our jolly brigade 
I correlate home
with mountain moving faith
on courage and hard prayer
I was selected
to leave my local on mission
to send money home
for nourish in my bornland

I crave the games we played
but here sedate I am
I reflect
on my fatherland
though now I live in mercy land
with ocean distance 
and now
I contemplate
going home
here at lake
Consolation.
