Cinderella Bell of the Banquet Hall and Glitter Ball

Pray masquerading hidden beauty,
Sweet innocent Princess Cinderella
She of midnight pumpkin slipper glass

For whom the ball bell's 

Be spared your humble prince his
blushes of asking for your hand
and pleasure of your company

And so to please accompany me into the 
banquet hall for the remainder on this
most auspicious summer evening

His Majesty quite inexorably is taken
with your strength and presence as yee
his confidence you have shaken

And he wishes to if nothing else discover
the name of said fair maiden woven into
that bespoken silken dress that grace
herself doth silhouette such blinding figure
of the number eight

If this be my kingdom i am over which to
reign then surely i duty bound as said king 
should wish the fairest princess in all the lands
under my domain to take and marry as my Queen
and mother bare she and i a rightful heir to follow
the line of succession

For if the price of royal cross to bare is 
duty before self then let me please this 1 
concession have

Let me please for marry love and get to
choose she that which doth my heart desires
with a wanten passion worthy of an endearing 
romantic fairytale ending where the protagonists
end up growing old together gracefully

So come the when the clock after  
the bewitching hour of midnight 12 o'clock
strike shall you not be with a but slipper
left to seek you out once more

Rather we dispense with pleasantries and be not another
further single we a second lost just incase
either of you and i be in both in a state of
wistful dreaming

Only to be told my unconscious subliminal Julliet
was in reality to be in fact an unassuming passing
stranger terminal cancer patient who choose to spend her final moments reading
Shakespeare's Romeo and Julliet to me whilst i was
in my coma

So when in fact or if indeed eventually i was to
awake the time i lost could be permeated
by an empathetic soul by the voice of
an angel

Falling victim only to be branded with the mark by one of life's cruelest of intentions better to have loved
and lost than never to have loved at all


Premium Member How Are Things In Rome, My Love

How are things in Rome, my love, the Rome we knew so long ago?
Do the crystal waters in the Fountain of Trevi still gently flow?
Does the coin we tossed in there yet shine? I'd really like to know,
Or like the love of our feckless youth, has it lost its glow?

I was a lonely soldier boy far from home and she was lonely too.
When I saw her across the crowded room, my heart skipped a beat or two!
'Tis said that a woman loves a man in uniform but I'm not sure that's so!
I felt it much more than that as in her eyes I saw a special glow!

I have fond memories of our dinners sipping Chianti with speghetta,
And the thrilling rides along the Tiber on our trusty old Lambretta!
The moon shone on just the two of us as we held each other tight,
Pledging our eternal love with a tender kiss on that very special night!

Alas, time moved on inexorably as it will and I returned to fighting war.
'Tis said that tossing a coin in Trevi ensures your return to Rome once more!
But it was not to be.   I can only cherish sweet memories in my heart!
I sadly muse, "How are things in Rome, my love, since we've been apart?"

Premium Member Follicle Regression

As he brushed his golden locks, he detected something stressing.
The skin around his noble forehead was inexorably progressing!
(Politically correct types tend to call this "follicle regression!")
Alarmed at this discovery, he suffered terrible depression!

"Follicle regression", now that was a mysterious term to him.
It left him totally confused and feeling somewhat grim.
He consulted his Funk 'n Wagnalls for a simple definition.
Alas, this august tome had no explanation for his condition!

A visit to his barber further compounded his dismay.
"The only solution I see for your plight is a nice toupee.
Son, you have a very serious case of 'follicle regression';
I recommend you get a consult from the medical profession!"

With his barber's observations he was not content.
He sought his doc's advice concerning his predicament.
"I have no remedies but this I'll say without hesitation;
Follicle regressive types are very macho, if that's any consolation!"

Tho' they insisted upon calling it "follicle regression",
He never fully understood what they meant by that expression.
Call it what you may, he was certainly not enthralled!
To his utter consternation, simply said, he was going bald!

Mystique Love

she sat lonely
on the beach 
in the submissive darkness
the moonlight 
highlighting the red eyes
& the dark shadows beneath them
she looked so beautiful
as the golden strands of her hair 
blew in the zephyr
her lips quivered 
as if complaining
& then they curved 
in a dazzle
brightening the  
chiseled features
on the pale, white face
But the smile ruined
as a cruel wave crashed
into the reverie
reverie of 
the waters,
the stars,
only that she wasn’t alone…
In an aching hope, 
she stood up
& started calling out her love
no response.
she called louder
still no response.
she started walking down 
in the dark waters
Beckoning her love
she went deeper & deeper 
in the sea of love
now her words… 
a whisper
still deeper, she went
And then, still & silence
the next night witnessed 
a miraculous presence
a pair of stars shone brightly
at a rare corner,
blinking inexorably 
under the grey canopy 
of the sky
she had reached her destiny,
& the destiny of mystique love…

Mother Earth Day

Within womb universe’s birth
nebulous placenta housed 
seeds of life and white lily
billions of years in future

mid-wifery lady Madonna i.e. Gaia
twill abort... cancel... fail 
cosmic amniotic fluid infinitesimal kernel 
unknowingly intimated mother earth

giver of extant flora and fauna
unleashed post big bang cosmic explosion
galactic matter ala Jackson Pollack 
across void

impregnating fecund celestial field
embryonic entities 
germinating gamut multifarious 
floral fauna spectrum
 
primordial soupy miasma
evolving millennial timeframe
distinct organisms *****sapiens 
master exploiter oblate spheroid
 
usurped emiment domain
epitomized goddess of fertility
silent ovation humanity 
predecessors ovulated

promulgating tentatively robust 
quite pathological population
within clustered cloistered 
substantial redoubts

mollycoddled, nursed  
swaddled by ancestral 
gracias moma mia
abba cud dab bra figures, 
whose maternal role
 
guarded vulnerable progeny,
outfoxing invisible World Wide Web 
building inexorably linked network 
indomitable strength
against wild things 
guaranteeing subsequent generations  
flourishing webbed unbridled success
prompted contemporary bipedal hominid

chance genetic dice throw 
origin of species weathering travails  
horrendous maternal sacrifices
inducing  acknowledgement 
unknown female forebears!


Premium Member Incendiary

The moth, inexorably drawn
To an incendiary fate,
Is tunneled to the wormhole's end
And placed in stasis, there to wait.

A single strand of silk is all
That ties it to a universe,
A speck caught in a cosmic thrall
Suspended in a quirky verse.

A strange fire arcs the silken cord;
The spark moves at the speed of light.
A dragon bursts forth from its lair,
Takes flight as the moth's wings ignite.

Back at the source, a blackish smudge,
The only hint of what took place.
A worm imagining set free,
Unleashed to roam in time and space.

Premium Member Time and Time Again

If anyone’s reading this poem, your somewhere in my past
       I’m in the future for these ‘right now' moments never last
         But still this is your present, such is the way time flows 
          All relative to the observer, every day comes and goes 

        So what am I doing right now, as your reading my poem 
       Perhaps going down a grave, most likely you’ll never know 
       We share the same planet, occupying two different worlds 
          One is in our head, the other one continuously unfurls 

         No matter how life is perceived, were merely passing time 
        That second hand keeps ticking, whilst hours happily chime 
         Seasons come and go, putting another birthday in the bag
        Our circadian clock slows down, toned faces inexorably sag

        Oh time that great leveller, eventually catches up with us all 
       Greatest force of nature, indifferent to light speed, or a crawl 
        Who started the clock ticking, or is all just radioactive decay 
       Countdown has only one direction, sorry there’s no other way 

         So onwards and upwards, past the stratosphere we will go
        Back to where it all started, about fourteen billion years ago
        And then what happens, that’s what you really want to know
      I’ll let you in on the secret, perhaps not, will only spoil the show

Exit Superman

How can a Superhero
Fight against crime and sin
When daily there are fewer
Phone boxes to change in.
The crims would all laugh
At the luducrous sight
Of him in a lounge suit
Arriving for the fight.

Clark Kent has gone missing
From the Smallville scene
It’s almost as if he’d really
Never ever been
Nobody seemed to realise 
He chose the same time to go
As Superman his Internationally 
Known and famous Alter Ego.

Just when he was really needed
Superman has finally gone
Packed up all his kit
And quickly moved on.
He’s out there beyond the stars
In interstellar space 
Trying to find himself
A more suitable planetary base.

The transformation to Super Hero
Had taken an infinitesimal time
But had been necessary 
In his fight against crime.
It had had to be done quickly
And quietly and on his own,
But you didn’t need a little kiosk
To use a Mobile phone.

He watched in disbelief as 
They spread inexorably on
Until the ubiquitous call box
Had almost finally gone.
Buildings once had lobbies
But not anymore 
You needed a passcode of ID
To get through an electronic door.

And then all of a sudden
Things had got incredibly bad
Putin, Trump and Johnson as
Half the planet went mad.
When he decided to leave 
He’d thought he might cry
But he departed with just
A slightly moist eye.

Just when he was needed
Superman was gone,
Packed all his bags
And quickly moved on.
He’s gone beyond the stars
To go and try his luck.
As for the Human Race,
He just couldn’t give a damn.

Except for the odd little thought
Of Earth and its simpler ways
Before the advent of theTwenty 
Four Hour connected days
When when he was needed he
Could jump into any phone kiosk
And he could change very rapidly 
Rght up from his undies and socks.

Premium Member Part I of Indian Summer

Slowly, 
The air fills with blue, and the greens catch fire
The hammerlight of Summer
With little mouse-steps,
Steals off into apricity.

I divide my days
Between wine and responsibilities
As a child divides his
Between play and obedience.

The time itself, at its best,
Is wine to me,
Full of light and flavors
Vying for my attention.

The aptly named Sept/ember
Ignites itself against the skies;
Sets my soul asmolder
The inspiration I have begged and badgered
To arrive, does so at last
By its own rule, on its own clock
In the deep of the night
While I should be asleep.

I awake,
Dreams close behind my shoulder,
And find myself at this crossroads,
Inexorably older.

Premium Member Aaachooooo

As the autumn and winter seasons inexorably unfold,
You can bet that I'm destined to catch my annual cold!
I've tried every remedy from the local pharmacist's shelf,
Includin' syrups, lozenges, even toddies to cure myself!

My nothe ith all thopped up an' I can hardly respthire.
My lungths are congesthed - they feel like they're afire!
My eyeths are red an' thwollen an' I can barely thee.
Every bone an' muthel in my body acheths - woe ith me!

I called the docther's offith for relief only to be told,
That he wath home in bed nursin' a nasthy cold!
He would've told me to take an athpirin an' go to bed.
I reckon I'll juth have to thuffer through it here inthead!

'Cold' ith a mithnomer for thith afflicthion anyhow.
"Why ith it called a cold?", I muse, throkin' my fevered brow,
An' quaffin' noxthious concothions to relieve my burnin' throat.
The meds can't quash my mithery, as the pharmathy ads promote!

Man hath thent rockeths soarin' through the boundleth univerth,
So why can't they find a cure for thith worrithome curth!
There musth be some college kid who thomeday will find a cure.
She'd be more than eligible for Nobel estheem I'm quite sure!
