Premium Member Final Moments

I awaken, alarmed by contagion’s dread,
by the advancing bubonic omen. 
My  muscular spasms unleash, involuntarily.
My astonished malediction yawns, cavernous.
I gawk vacantly in my remaining moments, 
at icy stones beneath my trembling feet. 
Just a prisoner, I conclude. 
Just an incorrigible  coward.
Inconsolable, impotent, lachrymose, 
I await my execution.
My penalty decreed in infectious agent.
My sentence prescribed in replicating pathogen.
Cacophonous are my incessant night terrors, 
allying insomnia with somnambulism, 
compounding calamity with conception.
No redemption in these ranting forecasts.
But I cannot reduce the fever.
And raving violence only deepens.     

Yet, when capacity breathes hush in my channel, 
I close my eyes.
Letting go is migrating sentience. 
I am the silent release departing. 
With my interior eye of providence,
I verify the amber brilliance,
this  luz de Amarillo,
The Quaker’s inner light.
The Hindu’s moksha.
The Shaker’s simple gifts.
The Buddha’s luminous mind. 
Dimensionless. 

Breathing again, radiant rapture quenching. 
Breathing again, from the riverbank, 
watching mortal suffering float by.

And in Yoga, the knots of trauma 
dispel from my vertebrate. My spinal lesson,
the simplest song for which I find no words. 
My lives and deaths are passing weather systems. 
Forbearance offers pristine extinction.


Premium Member The Reaper's Return

The cockroach crawling inside a satin evil darkness
as one clown weeps into silken soft sensual feelings, 
as a blinking starlight beacon awaits a tense message
of doubts from all living dreams becoming nightmares.

Bleeding trapped within a shadow’s eerie smile whilst 
grinning through the hurt smiling at the joy cheering,
at twisted laughs with needles of pain, lust, passion 
and gasping of a victim choking in deep-labored breaths.

Choking one heart now taken tragically away from us
with a nightshade vision as we blindly walk into the
dark night in the realm of the dead, forever gone now, 
with sad ice-cold whispers playing aloud and so deeply.  

A taste of Hell and a fool’s game of serious malediction
whilst cold whispers compel us ever so against the wind, 
as a restless soul is cutting ice frozen in a time dreaming 
of things past with hypnotic jewels of such a deepest beauty.

When little gestures that meant so much to us all, whilst lost
in a space-dark matter invading and pervading our lives now, 
a mysteriously hot sulfuric fire burns down the mountainside,  
as an ice-cold stream in the ocean now becomes a mystic dream.

Crown of Thorns

Crown of Thorns            

A trace of thorns you are 
on my body,
I am an eternal traveller, 
never stopping.

You are the bitter predicament 
of my comfort,
Traces of sensual pleasures -
The mist of a veil is 
my constant reminder.

You wound the stubble of my heartly thorns,
I stand alone on the dusty conflagration
Gazing towards an endless void,
I am bridled with the burning pain of the
thorns...

My gaze tirelessly roves,
Prickly are the thorns,
With malediction entwined...

I am drowning in a sweaty torrent,
I am plunging into thorny depths,
bloody and overworked 
from the struggle,
I yield myself to 
the decision of fate.

Premium Member Speak Out And Shout

Speak out and shout out against all types of wars.
Reject the referendum, that's a farce, a joke,
A small band-aid on a wound; that's all smoke.
Shout and speak out against the criminal dictators,
Who are bombarding their own blood,
And killing countless babies, children,
Elders, women, and very sick men.
The people need food, neither death nor mud.
Denounce the lies, the crimes and the hypocrisies.
Let the traitors know that the whole universe
Is watching and taking notes of their atrocities.
The world saw the mass graves and witnessed diverse
Other criminal and egregious acts being perpetrated
On the defenseless civilians. The flood
Of blood is everywhere; the miseries,
The hunger, the sufferings and the hatred
Environments touch the ultimate priorities.
The whole world must speak out and shout
In unison: enough is enough, enough is enough.
Stop all violence; stop the pain and the slaughter.
Let's all protest, speak out and be tough.
Let's support, encourage and honor
Friendly nations, who stand for genuine Peace
And stability throughout the five continents,
And specifically in the ever more chaotic Middle East.
Let's stand against countries where corruption, hunger,
Famine, drought and injustice serve as ingredients
Of malediction and endemic terror.
Have no fear; speak out against the evil elements.
Shout! Shout and speak out against religious wars,
Civil wars, ethnic wars, criminal wars
Illegal wars and all categories of wars.
War is hell, war is diabolic, and war is evil.
Never stop speaking out. Let's be civil
For humanity's sake, stop the violence.
Stop, stop bombarding the innocent civilians.
Respect their human rights and their dignity.
Let's speak out and protect Freedom and Liberty.

Premium Member A Tale of Winter

A Tale of Winter

Words in front of me in sight in their style and in some
weight on the type face I grin beaming with sadness

A crystal ball’s incantation gleams paranormal winter magic
and necromantic I reach out to the dead as a New Year dawns

My father survived frostbitten winters in Russia advancing 
retreating dug into dugouts hanging on for dear miserable life

Abused and abusive he followed the crowds steam rolled
in naïve glory stripped to dead bones malediction abound

His quest was misplaced devoured humanity helped to
concentrate ashes like snow flakes melting in the chambers

of what remained crying out in silent pain in the ghettoes 
boxed into madness plying its trade ever since and before

Alluring attraction I fled the winters and now sit in summer on
the southern side of the globe reflect cold shivering mind

Songbirds feast on tomatoes peppers spice up the garden
flowers seed beauty insects move on where we humans cannot

Somewhere today it is winter yet my grimace wants smiles
expressions of laughter’s simper ingratiation dignity’s grace

I am thankful for being conceived and conceive and with some
effort I vow that in small steps the wizard enchants from within

Carpe diem I must and fly on the carpet with lantern in hand

Premium Member Acoustic Shadows

A haunting rustle continues to stir, 
imprisoned by a restless ghost I cant deter.
Becoming a relentless hiss of a punctured tire,
to the blazing crackle of a funeral pyre.

When the world is loud, it can try to hide,
as my brain is otherwise occupied.
When the world rests and there is no noise,
this perfect silence, my mind destroys. 

Waterfalls that never hit the rocks below.
Unbearable phantom sounds plateau.
As the cadence quickens to a frantic hum,
while a fury of cicadas pulse like a drum.

Invading the desperate hollows of my mind, 
it’s insanely incessant, torturously entwined.
There’s no sanctuary from this discordance of sound.
A tempest of delirium down to a snake’s rattle abound.

Streaming water from the shower, a noise I dread.
Nobody at home, its all in my head.
Suffering tinnitus is a lifelong affliction, 
Every waking hour a curse, a malediction.
 
When will I enjoy silence and my sanity restore? 
The Raven answered "Nevermore"

Premium Member Prayer Warrior Blessings

A blessing is something we can't do for ourselves. Only God can bless.  When we send blessings to those around us through prayer, we invite them to receive the special and unique touch of God in their lives.  There is no greater example of faith, and love, than to share blessings through prayer with a servant's heart stepping outside of ourselves to ask God's blessing for another pilgrim.  It is an honor to be a prayer warrior, an ambassador, sending out prayers for blessings!

Prayer Warrior Blessings

At the corner of graces and gifts busy avenue
Baskets, filled with benedictions of my blessings,
Cascade – overflow – in blessing cups
Dedicated to walking in other soul worn shoes – determined –
Entering this sanctuary of the Spirit’s energy,
Feasting on the honor - on the fragrance of the favor 
Given to my tongue to say grace,
Hymns of praise, heaven sent from Heaven’s house,
Interceding – stepping out from shoes of isolation -
Just to carry another’s burden with justness –
Knees upon the rug of prayer kneeling
Letting neither sunburned lips,
Mourning storms malediction,
Nor raging disasters negate
Offerings and prayers opened –
Psalms like bouquets – grace perfume –
Quivering quietly with hope’s quality
Reaching up on wings of eagles and simple robins,
Standing in the gap for broken sighs;
Thankful for the honor and the trust
Unlimited blessings to uncover –
Verily – truly - tending comfort in prayer verses;
Warrior – blessed to share the burden of secrets wounded
Xen – no stranger to pray for the lost – xenia
Yearning to share in the full palate of joys – yes!
Zeal in zephyrs -glittering zirconias!

Num. 6:24-26

The Flint That Ignited My Fire

Each night lurid visions danced before me in the dark
staring with eyes of an eagle, sharp beak of a hawk.
I woke, and in the mirror, my face was white as chalk,
screaming with the brazen voice of a raven's squawk.

It seems I'd been struck with some cursed malediction.
That's what a shrink said, "It's an abnormal infliction.
I'd like to observe you for a time, under constriction
and also suggest you might pray for a benediction."

Did he believe I was sick enough for extreme unction?
Or standing at the crossroad of a mental malfunction?
Anger was building, and I had the wild compunction
to run away before he ordered a restraining injunction.

He ran after me shouting, "I'm afraid you're delirious!"
I laughed out loud and shouted back, "Are you serious?
You won't lock me up! Stop acting so damned imperious."
Then voices started whispering. It was quite mysterious.

                    DELIRIOUS?  NO, NOT ME!!!
                       Go away and let me be!

I heard them rant all day and night, in shadowed halls,
snarling voices calling my name from within the walls.
In dreams they cried out for me in deep guttural calls
I cowered in a corner each time I heard their footfalls.

What trick were they using to infuse me with insanity?
They moved much too close, robbing me of my vanity
I cursed them with vile words of unleashed profanity
then thought, is this a case of psychotic inhumanity?

Anger became the flint to ignite the flames of my fire
Each whisper became a thorn, condemning me a liar.
On and on they chanted, like evil demons in a choir
as the walls of my deep abyss rose higher and higher.

The beasts never tear my flesh; they claw at my soul.
I'm suffering with emotional stress and losing control.
There's no virtue left inside of me that I can still extol.
I'm being swallowed into cryptic depths of a sinkhole.

               DELIRIOUS? Is it possible I may be?
                     Fiendish laughter vexes me.

Premium Member The Grim Reaper Cometh

As All Hallows’ Eve approacheth my thoughts turneth to darkest dread,
Whilst in old age I harboureth a deep fear of seeing this one’s grim head;
Methinks the Grim Reaper cometh this time with his scythe in hand,
Which striketh maximum fear in me and maketh him feel quite so grand. 

Death and darkness doth pervade this spirit’s intent from that great beyond,
And bringeth one a chilling fear if one’s destiny be unending Hellspawn;
All Hallows’ Eve is the image I conjureth of my imminent departure,
But I hopeth for divine intervention and protection during this departure.

For I shan’t want to feel the fear and malediction of the Grim Reaper’s gaze,
As he eerily walketh in the deep mist to bringeth my soul into that darkest haze;
I prayeth then Oh Lord God, haveth an Angel escort me on my final trip beyond,
And spareth me the Grim Reaper’s terrifying visit and his image of Hellspawn.

I asketh thy divine power and all goodness in protecting my eternal spirit and soul,
And delivereth them to Heaven on All Hallows' Eve most sound and quite whole!

Amen!  Amen!  Amen!
