Premium Member Rhythm and Blues

Romance revered in classy nightclubs
Harmonics in bluesy melodies & lyrics
Youth, the feeling kept alive in dreams
Teasing hearts with enchanting notes 
Heaven most surely did inspire
Magic spells cast across steamy starry nights

Artists and musicians gather inspiration
Never tiring of the game
Distorting truths convoluted as they may be

Bands play way past easy midnight hours
Lessons woven into spicy lyrics
Untangling emotions from wanton machinations
Elated once the music works its wizardry
Seduction melting away unbidden blues

Awoke With Existential Nihilism Since Birthday One

(Otherwise titled poetic
gobbledygook trot -
oven chilly cooked confusion eliciting
faint thanks a lot
unbeknownst this tasteless,
senseless, rhymeless... lettered

Rorschach test tease I jot
interpretation, viz hitting
analogously like amorphous melted ingot
watch yourself...
d's lines iz still smok'n HOT,
now I puzzle regarding how

to extricate mess elf aye got
into try'n to strut and trumpet
hightailing to Hong Kong
entrepôt yea, that dot
on the map embroiled -

in political fracas fifteen minutes
of fame Andy Warhol didst allot
every man, woman,
and child even no bot
tee like me.)

Anyway... when zombie like,
I try to dead reckon eyes
purposefulness astride oblate spheroid
nsync with other gals and guys
either one, t'other or all
mask cue lated in disguise

impossible mission to triangulate
Euclid say logic defies
to comprehend gibberish
no matter how much you scrutinize
his highness, qua shape
shifting imperfect square stumps

any tree men douse great mind to analyze
me skewering, marinating, gunning... decries
abiding any logical positivism
queries best addressed to Lord of the Flies
since nary handy dandy blues clues,
I opted out thus... 

rubbish provided to synthesize
random words helter skelter 
strewn to symbolize
absent any rhyme or reason
courtesy handy matted figurative
trapezoid doth employ 

no paradigm to exercise
leaving comprehension after mine demise
so go ahead chastise
cuz I already know,
never will said poetry win apprize.

Premium Member Coming Back Home

Consoling is echo of love, forever I have heard and known
Oh, how foolish was my youth, searching destiny all alone 
Meeting you was utopian debut, and as I did, you felt it too
Indelibly in memories etched, there is no life without you
Never will I do that again, being on road has not been fun
Glad I trudged when I was young, now that trek is all done
Back I am in your hold, as melodies bold, tenderly unfold
Acceding to euphoric feelings two amorous hearts behold
Conjuring images, once dormant, latent clues tugging anew
Kindling now, bright and true, as clandestine passions woo
Home again, I feel charmed, hypnotized in seductive glance
Obsequious in your loving arms, adoring eyes of romance
Mesmerized in soul’s liaison, as bells of joy toll on and on
Elated now, I end my odyssey greeting you in newer dawn

Hoping Never

i'm doing what
the French
did once

have a wife
and have
a lover

but she's not
a mistress
to me 

she's simply
a mystery
to me

she's out
loudly in
spiring

springing
words 
on me

in mistrans
lated
poetry

and non
blinking
photography

i'm happy
as she
exactly

makes my
day as i
make

my bed and
that being
said she

greets me
every
night

in my thoughts
i'm holding
tight but

not to ever
let her go
where

her
dreams
will carry 

her but
still buried
in my soul she

shall go
to live
her

life and i
will think
of what life

would be
without
her

Luxuriant   garden fit for a lord

Imperturbable tranquility illuminated by the golden hues of sunshine

Teeming  with life, bees buzzing, butterflies fluttering, and

Teasing mischievous Pixies so childlike in play

Lovable creatures with their pointed ears,  

Elated darting among the foliage flipping and swirling in the air through ivy and trees

          

               I’ll fly, I’ll fly and live on cherries 

                           In the morning I’ll arise a labyrinth flight 

                                      On a crown of flowers and berries in Fairyland


Palatable buds flowering a splash of color and trees bring the 

Enchanting lithe Fairies with singing and laughter dancing on their toes

Over joyed like popcorn popping from flower to flower 

Pleased with the passing of time their wings taking flight scattering fairy dust 

Little Gnomes stand guard in sunshine with grass between their toes   

Ebullient party in the magical garden of mythical beings

          

               I’ll fly, I’ll fly and live on cherries 

                           In the morning I’ll arise a labyrinth flight 

                                      On a crown of flowers berries in Fairyland

Fire Igniting Me

Favourite flames play in my mind,
Igniting a precious find,
Rages through the very being,
Elated, I find me freeing; 

In Your Presence, I am refreshed, 
Good waves wash over me afresh, 
Never have I felt so cosy,
Instantly, I'm pink and rosy,
To these comforting thoughts I cling,
Imagination - What joy you bring!
Near You is where I want to be, 
Great God, You're my eternity. 

Musing over these fiery thoughts, 
Eternal blessing have I got.

Silence Swaps Vexation

I have realised shortly that "silence"is one of my 
defence mechanism.
At times when sprayed by anger I drape my 
outfit silence.
Yes, I veil my emotions with quietude.
There are lot of aggression boiling inside 
powerful mind which is compressed in 
my conscience.
When somebody don't value my words 
I don't argue, instead ignore them and 
prefer being silent.
Soundlessness combined with darkness 
often impresses me and brings solace.

                           Life is full of frosty
                    thorns while you 
                try adjusting 
         with irresistible 
       people and 
        their place.
        The only way 
            to smoothen 
                   the spines is to
                        smear them with
                                 your calmness
                                        and patience
                                               only up to
                                                  the extent
                                                  that you can
                                                 bear.If those
                                               don't turn into 
                                        petal soft then,
                                slice and smash
                    them with single dare
              without any care.
