Dreams and Desire

What makes us grasp so furiously upon waking,
for that which has just been torn,
rent asunder by the simple act of rising;
for meaning in the ramblings ruptured?

What makes us yearn so for that which
our sleeping mind has conjured,
half from exhaustion, half from seeming madness;
for a world so far from that of the callous conscious?

Is it a desire to understand?
To comprehend what happens behind our eyes,
what thoughts are truly our innermost,
whether the visions are absurd or allusive?

Is it a desire to escape?
To remain behind with the lunacy,
to rejoice in its flippancy and levity,
to gain sanctuary from the odd or ordinary ennui?

I have not the answer to these questions,
nor suggestions beyond these queries themselves;
I pose these to all, for inspection and perspective -
mayhap many can solve what one creature cannot.


Premium Member three faeries bring joy to the meadow

three faeries with beautifully veined transparent wings arrived at midnight
Not unlike Pan who had been there before, they brought happiness light.
Their mission was to add some levity and joy to the current night life
I sneaked up on them in silence, feeling more voyeur than young wife.

Silent in the deep weeds, I watched the three faeries frolic and play in fun.
If I made a loud song, they would be gone way before the returning sun.
At three a.m. I sneezed, and the entire faerie brigade stood perfectly still.
“Come on out!” one demanded, staring at the neighboring hill.

Out came a dragon, a buzzard, two raccoons, a squirrel, a frog and a fish.
The fish was in a bowl, being carried by the raccoons, as if a delicate dish.
We will teach you some dance moves, the faerie queen said, “okay?”
More was going on, but a the sandman in a dream whisked me away.

I know what I saw, I am not wrong about that.
I still see these three faeries, at the drop of a hat.
Sometimes I sneak out at midnight to try to glimpse them again.
So far, I have come up empty, but some day, it will be a win.

54th Birthday 4 Shari Todd Harris

from birth until this moment with your family as supporting team

whose cupidity, fidelity, integrity, levity, opportunity, runneth tranquil

bubbling with energy, harmony, synergy through his  confluence he rill
lee doth possess – in my humble opinion, though less to take quill

to paper, him this brother in law applauds how he accepted any bitter pill
i.e. figuratively when the fickle finger of fate seemed to obscenely mill
a tate a contrary outcome than he desire, a fighting esprit de corps did fill
his entire being – putting forces of destruction re: no longer threat of evil

which waywardness with this poetic intent to type a birthday cheer
sans thy lovely sister activated thoughts pertaining to positive people dear
as senescence shuttles thine youngest harris heiress who everywhere
she goes affects a blessedly diplomatic, friendly holistic imprimatur
and thus tis probably apropos to attempt to communicate with mere

and many a broken wing, but tis necessary 4 me 2 expunge – though rear
the positive presence (most often invisible) whence shari did tear
out from the birth canal even at that early infantile stage did wear

autonomy to evince can do spirit whereby she irresistibly insinuated an air
that inexplicably captivated family, friends, romans….with no blare
ring burst, but she exhibited a magnetic trait – I now heartily cheer
cuz many stepping stones to mine current ah fair

when oft times shuttered in this man cave, hell lair

You Have Angels Beside You Always

You have angels beside you always
By Michelle Morris
05/08/2023

Whether you are in the light 
Or sitting in the dark
Embrace your purest power
Your eternal and special spark

You're not alone in your quest
You have angels beside you always
Feel free and calm and guided
Feel their loving and gentle presence 

Those mighty angel wings
Those fluffy white feathers of fun
They bring reminders of grace and joy
They provide you with levity and love

Those mighty warriors with swords
They protect you against all demons
You are capable of fighting the dark
You can become your soul's best version

Whether you are in the light
Or struggling in the dark
Heaven is right there with you
For you are in Heaven's arms

You are light and love and abundance
You are infinite soul blessed moments
This time here on Earth is a lesson
To never forget about your origins

The angels are here with you right now 
The ascended masters guide you too
Never forget that you are so powerful
You are part of what makes the Universe true

Goodbye and Good Riddance Former Ersatz Trumpeting President

Joseph Robinette Biden
now commander in chief yay
manning ship of state
tossing anchors aweigh
heavily pierced tattooed
donning sheepish pirate(s)
at heady roiling waterway
fending off trolling rapscallion
much more thrilling

than watching cabaret
January twenty first two thousand
twenty one marks his first full day
wherein Oval Office finally
flushed, ousted, and zapped,
whose paternal ancestry
begat genealogical linkedin émigré
name unknown, nevertheless

one Johann Trump born within
Bobenheim am Berg, a village
in Palatinate, Germany circa 1789
moved to nearby village of Kallstadt
where his grandson, Friedrich Trump,
the grandfather of Donald Trump,
born in 1869 gamboled
upon grassy fairway
whereby grandson notorious

to grandstand and gainsay,
but especially renowned
windblown coiffure
kept intact courtesy "fake" hairspray
said product he did fulminate
against and inveigh,
cuz he envied (as does yours truly)
the trademark thatch sported by J.F.K.

At long last, a stalwart adept candidate
unwittingly saddled
with onerous figurative freight
COVID-19, homelessness, joblessness
sober statistics impossible mission to inflate,
whose physique slender and lightweight
boot pulleys and levers of power

he quite savvily can operate
personable and suave demeanor doth resonate
allowing, enabling, and providing
law and order to materialize,
and accomplishments downplayed
(unlike previous commander in chief)
whose braggadocio would never underrate.

Concern still prevails
regarding that woman user
egging fascistic paramilitary
white supremacist ilk
twittering as a digital schmoozer
hell bent on sowing anarchy,

cuz other Democratic contestant
did not defeat
soured at prospect their man beat
(him - who shall not be named again
ranks as a sore loser)
nevertheless, an oafish shill bruiser.

If prognostications allowed me,
at bedtime, when a supine American,
one garden variety and generic
sleepy Joe among madding crowd
will experience glee

at prospective buoyancy, decency,
fraternity, harmony, jollity, levity,
nobility, prosperity, serenity, tranquility...
wishing no ill will toward
former forty sixth president.

My Poems New Jerusalem Las Vegas

My Poems

Are but only and unto me 

An inner source of both shuttling
and chastening my day dreams

My very own fantastical imagination 
galaxy and far off universe

Inside my head rallying me to discover
what may well just reside beyond the 
setting stellar sun or dark side of the moon

Because I would far rather be alone and
searching for something more significant
other than this out there than here

Than awaken again tomorrow with a 
sore neck from staring up at a sky full
of shooting stars

Constantly wishing and waiting for the quickening crash of thunder and lightning
to strike 

And with such levity and brevity of
clarified thought and sadly devoid of 
any means of leaving this world's earths atmosphere behind

I instead have no other option left but 
to try and imagine it's splendor in my
mind's eye

And even if I was to take this journey
on my own alone with not another
single soul or anyone to tell

How would that be any different 
but rather so much better than being
surrounded by people but nobody
willing to listen

I think at least much like the 1st Apollo
crew taking 1 small step for mankind
who returned

I would rather happily live out the rest
of my life as a Giant 

Jettisoned as a castaway just me myself
and Wilson 

Gazing out a porthole both utterly bemused
and blown away taking in an ever increasing
impressive interplanetary firework display

Thankful for the fact this ethereal majesty
has thus far been spared from humankind

Otherwise this would probably by now
have been turned into a ride on an
amusement park complete with hotel
casino fast food chains and shopping mall

Premium Member An Astronaut in Blue

The wings wrap-squeeze the sun, animated
With cogent hued uplift, infused with dawn,
And eagle strong; true bold and serrated.
The contrast dance ebon and brilliant swan.
So bright, not pale; choice blends and nothing wan.
Courage and conviction in feathered blades.
Behind the glass, the creation pervades.

And far below, the tender grass afloat;
Diver’s deep sea bubbles like butterflies;
Lime green fishes, its levity devote.
Footsteps of Jesus land worldwide, in guise.
Unmasked serenity without the lies.
For each sharp blade, Father planted the seeds.
He unifies, and separates the weeds.

An astronaut in blue; he’s armored up.
He could be anyone; a him or her.
Climb in to suit, for God’s got you, way up.
It doesn’t matter if you’re an amateur.
First burial in suit; out of inter.
The Spirit’s wings on fire - attached, reborn.
Eternally airborne - glory’s adorn.

See the blossom sunrise; tears wiped away.
Eye eucatastrophe top, bottom, sides;
And nightingales, bluebirds, without doomsday,
Riveting with angel voices. The bride’s
Light glorious; delighted Christ provides.
Celebration - the table’s set, sit down.
Listen to peace and love, with no comedown.

Informants 

Parameters Dear Watson, I exclaim to everyone at the table 
Ambassadors of the latest brand continue talking in fables 
Calipers on my legs and hands as I begin to feel disabled 
Passengers of the broken and grand reject these constant labels 

A touch of light brevity for one to leave some room to contemplate 
As such the sight of levity leaves me so much less inclined to procrastinate 
In the garden of ghetsemony Jesus was forced to deliberate 
Like a crutch to lean light up on as the enemy approaches at the gate 

There’s no time to linger for a moment as danger is on the horizon 
Relaxed and sublime she’s a performing singer that has to sleep with the lights on 
There’s not an object to be the harbinger of dispair as they choose to continue to fight on 
While in the refined and royal air I’ll be someone they can rely on 

Aberrations of polite conversation left to fizz out in the silence 
Commiserations for the invitation to engage in protest based violence 
Considerations of the elevations of such niches incline to display pretence 
Obfuscations of the invocations that require there’s no more nonsense 

Humanity crumbles at the table as I cannot continue the performance 
Insanity humbles the old fables of those basking in self-importance 
Profanity mumbles from the mouth of the green gables that come from the non conformist
Calamity grumbles as I realise I am surrounded by informants
