"Calamus gladio fortior"



O noble scribe hand me your quill
I will sharpen it for you with my wit and brill’
For in truth it is your real sword grows large and mighty with every word
Joust not with me surround yourself with my noble stalwart gallantry
Thee will find dark and light joie de vivre
between the weeds and daisies armour comes off freely
En garde walk the Road with courage and dignity
For we will inspire revolutionary legions together
On our march to

Premium Member The Sound of Laughter

The sound of laughter
From the belly
Grandpa's stomach
Wobbling like jelly
Baby clapping hands with glee
A very joyous sight to see.

Everybody's worries vanish,
Frowning faces 
Today are banished
Family woes are left unspoken
Promises made
Will not be broken

Concerns left outside the door,
They will remain there for awhile
Nobody is welcome
If they don't bring in a smile
There is refreshment
And delicious food to eat

Beer and spirits for the men
A very welcome treat,

The children are happy,
Playing with their toys,
And a cheeky chappy
He was amusing the older boys.
The girls sat together,
Chatting away.
They made a vow, forever,
Friends, they would stay.

People passing by
Stood still for awhile
Listening to the laughter
That made them all smile.
It is not always possible,
To feel this joie de vivre
So graciously give thanks
For times like these
That brings comfort and relief.

Thee Grim Reaper As Pedagogical Savior

(fear not stalwart reader, the sword of Damocles just grazed thy chest when fate found us a place to call home).

to avoid the pitfall of prospective homelessness
which near future prospect 
   induces existential angst i confess.
 
Today i.e. about two years ago (end of rope rhyme rote 
   approximately deux orbitz round the sun), 
i wanted ta die and bid god riddance grandly 
   going gamesomely gra grave, 
   de deum, and cymbal crash

to Bing mulct emotionally, physically and spiritually - 
   all the grinding hardships would be gone in a flash
how tempting to seek ot a solution sans hemlock 
   or other deadly potion, 

   whereby toothless mouth need not gnash
boot simply swallow and drink from the goblet of 
   mortal freedoms renting psych ass under 
   with purposelessness mine hash

tag, which bout with suicide 
   while n the edge of thirteen - 
   Anorexia nervosa defeated - 
   then as now experience 
   10,000 banshee maniacs whip lash

lacerating, flagellating, 
   and repeatedly rousing thoughts 
   shin to circle back to why death be not proud 
   when life on par with a mash

up of ennui, futile gobbledygook housing incubus 
   analogous luft waffe bombardiers quash
the joie de vivre per je ne sais quois spritely spring 
   in step happy jollity, 
   and levity attempt to make light 

   of psychological me's mental illness rash

   as chief garbage taster of trash
hurled my way gnome matter 

   the gremlins dwelt within the Wabash 
distance to inflict din er of dissonance

   from the womb, his reddened ears did bash
from sonic screaming boom causing astir the nurses

Perdition Be Damned

Perdition Be Damned!

Body electric zapped
lower gastrointestinal tract
wracked with wretchedness
pitted, rocked, and tortured
severe muscle spasms cramp
deathly hallowed deliverance

beseech divine creator to exorcise relief
any panacea trumpeted vetoed
pestilential nausea diarrhea
wreaks relentless havoc
horrid ordeal twists insides
lack strength to live

breathing a laborious effort
bedrest temporarily alleviates
generally healthy ironclad junket
weatherbeaten rickety ship of state
restorative sought trouncing unwell
corporeal self against torture

assailing, castrating, 
and drubbing existence
avocations ordinarily promulgating 
resplendent joie de vivre
squelched, scotched, and sabotaged,
courtesy minuscule mailer daemons

emotions unlikely culprit,
though times gone by anxiety
tindered, pitched, and kindled
abominable irritable bowel syndrome
prescription medication tempered
badgering, crippling, and debilitating

panic attacks plagued this primate
manifesting feeble endeavor
to experience poignant satiation,
asper simple pleasures nonexotic
endeavors merely passively living
as one organic carbon based

human being finding fulfillment
meditating, reading, and writing,
now fleeced, deprived, and blitzed
suspicious disagreeable provender
perhaps lactose intolerance

after enjoying pizza birthday
fours days prior
celebrating chronological centenary,
sans one frail resident here,
Highland Manor Apartments
suddenly, I feel chill o' rigor mortis!


Premium Member Antonin Artaud Theater of Cruelty Or Joie De Vivre Part 3

He was sitting alone in the corner 
In a little cafe at the painting of Monet
And was talking to imaginary friend
About thinness opaqueness fear
Sensation of heat cold anger despair
Cruelty he claimed is the language of reality
Not the barren lame poetry with vulgar
Metaphors hiding behind empty words
Cruelty was the only honest way
To open the hidden heavy doors 
Into suffering human soul and heart
And talk about things that matter
Through shamanic art of reaching
Deep into the guts of true teaching
And bringing light to the dark corners
That have never been lit before
Actors dancing in overpowering way
Manikins with terrifying theatrical faces
With empty eyes staring at the audience
And drilling through their souls
Objects of strange proportions 
Surfacing in a dreamy scenery
Of unrecognizable ghostly world
Of the modern stage transformed 
By the means of the theater of cruelty 
It is the only way to be honest
To himself Artaud claimed 
And believed 
He was right
He sacrificed his life
To this idea
And died lonely forgotten
On the bare floor
Next to metal bed
That stood at the door
He tried to open so hard
In a madhouse
Where magic of theater
Truly belongs

Sonnet X Or the Bluebird Sonnet

O why’d they misconstrue your colour against you?
When the song is swift imagination, so sweet and full
Why’d they whisper of weariness, of idiomatic blue?
When pause is ponderous play not a dark silent lull
It is the bluebird’s song that warm thoughts entice
That unexpected exuberant bout of welcomed joie de vivre
That instant intoxication of all virtue and all vice
Oft’ heard from coffee’d morn till the day’s end receive’
When beguiled by melody left to lilt through wistful air
That beacon of curiosity which so quickly is consume’
Cheery embrace – the listener enraptured is divided ne’er
Till the final bar closes only then may the day resume
Though for tunes of waking night the bluebird composes nigh
Alas, her song is for bright day not for moon’s sleepless sigh

Premium Member In Solitude, Contemplation

In solitude you control 
what you do when, 
for how long, and why.
You have time-out for contemplation
to muse on, reflect on, and deeply ponder on
what is happening in your own life, in isolation.

Solitude is you alone, but its not lonely,
if you are your own best friend,
if you have too much to do to miss company,
if you know you need time away to stroll and amble,
to rebuild, re-energise and revitalise
your joie de vivre.

Solitude re-jigs, re-boots, unwinds and de-stresses.
It improves concentration, refreshes.
It boosts productivity and restores control again.
It is selfish, for self, by self for self benefit.

Solitude fosters and fertilises creativity, 
allowing it to germinate, sprout and grow.
It is peaceful, and allows peace to be found in quietude.
Taking solitude in, imbibing it, 
savouring its morsels, sips and crumbs,
is a soul revelling in solitary confinement.

Premium Member I am A Poet

I am a poet
I sprinkle hearts
With verses, flowers
Rhymes and kisses
In front of this mute
Beauty
Which moves away
And that I ogle
Oh! Woman
Madam
God has opened up the Heaven
To meet and greet us
Two chalices of honey
Are near the oasis
You and I are going for a swim
In the middle of summer
And afterwards, on the beautiful pavement
We will go for a walk
What an evening of beauty
Of love, of peace
Of joy and gaiety
In front of the bay!

Je Suis Un Poète

Je suis un poète
J’arrose les cœurs
De vers, de fleurs
De rimes et de baisers
En face de cette beauté
Muette
Qui s’éloigne
Et que je lorgne
Oh ! Femme
Madame
Dieu a ouvert le ciel
Pour nous recevoir
Deux calices de miel
Sont près du réservoir
Toi et moi nous allons baigner
En pleine saison de l’été
Et après, sur le beau pavé
Nous irons nous promener
Quelle soirée de beauté
D’amour, de paix
De joie et de gaîté
En face de la baie !

Soy Un Poeta

Soy un poeta
Salpico corazones
De versos, de flores
De rimas y de besos
Frente a esta muda
Belleza
Que se aleja
Y que yo miro con los ojos
¡Oh! Mujer
Señora
Dios ha abierto el cielo
Para encontrarnos y saludarnos
Dos cálices de miel
Están cerca del oasis
Tú y yo vamos a nadar
En pleno verano
Y después, sobre la hermosa acera
Daremos un paseo
iQué tarde de belleza
De amor, de paz
De alegría y de júbilo
Frente a la bahía!
