The Helix of Eden

I am walking in the garden 
of an ancient city
The walls are covered 
with climbing ivy of a delicate hue
The dews are thick after the warm rains
There in the middle, the stately statue 
withstands the stains
Covered in ivy of a intricate green
Blooms of unknown life glowing red
I trace the path of last foot falls
The age is broken and anew
Stone is cracked crazy filigreed 
In the ancient courtyard
I follow it down a foreign history
The sun splashing though over growth
Over head the winds unsettles monolithic trees
Exotic birds sing songs to creation 
The gold, ambler, crimson leaves take flight
Dripping on the weedy ground
Puddling in the warm sparkling rays of a dying sun
Leting it spill over me
The fading green bright fresh 
In this ancient city of Avalon
This lost garden of Eve
The last empire of Adam
Mans only memory 
Walking this spiraling path
This Helix of Eden

Premium Member The Power Find

The night is dark, the feeling cold
The mind sets in, this story's old
The burning buildings, the faded screams
The loss of life is always somehow justified it seems?

The stench of death bleeding into nature's life
The dead don't cry, the dead can't fight

The horizon new as the sun shine rise
The bullet holes rip through all kinds of life

The motion less, the village all gone
The reason why? When they did no wrong!

The human kind so extreme in ways
The power find through bleeding ways

The helpless bodies, men, women and child
The ways of men can find no binds
The ways of men for power and greed
The ways of men, no mercy freed
The ways of men bending the dark into the light

The ways of men will never kill mans fight

The ways of men for the power find!

Premium Member Passion Play An Old Mans Dream Journey

Passion play
An old man’s Dream – Journey

Luck walks him from the hands of the Grim Reaper,
beyond the pearly gates of St. Peter,
across the desert sands,
into a carnival, the arms of a winged Angel’s, hands.

Two freaks on the stage, of the world’s side show
Within each, the other know.

A lost soul, trumpet silenced by very bad choices.
In his head – a con, a schemer – he hears inner voices.
Take this Beauty, wing it into survival, into a living. 
Only himself, not to others, giving.

Another lost soul, in a glass cage, her wings clipped.
In a carnival side show, freaks, the audience is gipped.
 
He knows the price she will have to pay.
To save him and the game he will have to play.
Captivated by her ethereal beauty, love making evolves into love.
Beyond his greed for life, love’s conscience raises him above

the slim of his scheme, to do all he can to protect his dream.
The light of his love, surly – that moment - did beam.
His plan jeopardizes, places her into the hands of hell. 
This winged Angel’s love,  in her eyes it doth tell.

She accepts her living hell in order to save him. 
The old man now tries to save her, prospects grim. 
He falls, a plan of the man who owned this winged girl.
The plan failed, the old man’s life did not unfurl

His heart opened and did strive, repent the wrongs meant
as his soul looked out and upon, in sacrament.
One more time, he picks up his trumpet. 
Sweet sounds  come forth, beauty he let.

She glided, walking on by, again he met
his dream, there, before his eyes.
He runs with her, jumps from on high, she flies,
saving him with the strength and courage he gave to her.

Upon angelic wings, into heavenly bliss, together.

Dead End Street Contest

Entry to John Lawless 
Dead End Street 
Poetry Contest
7th November 2023


At the bottom of this here 

Dead End Street

Appropriately named

Limbo Purgatory No Mans Land

Resides a cemetery

In whom one side live and exist in perfect harmony 

Whereas on the other side the true problem lies

With curtains and weapons permanently drawn

Is the boundary defining lines between 

A turf war being fought day and night 

Between the two opposing gangs and forces

Of the those who have and have not

Those who don't have nothing to loose

No electricity , running water food or money

Where boarded up windows replace broken glass

The dogs and cats look ferrel and emaciated

Even the rats left in search of greener pastures

The children play without shoes on their feet

It's become so lawless the police themselves

Regards it a no go area and are stay well clear 

Not a single hope for their family or future

No one cares or gives a damn about them

No one wants to believe or accept 

They even exist so long as they don't have to

Co - Exit or are expected to engage with them

As on ever side of this dead end street

In the middle no man can claim as common ground 

Birth alone decides on which side of the street

You are born into and thereafter will live

Until the day we all eventually one day die

And we all end up taking and moving into 

Numero Zero Dead End Street 

Cemetery 

Only difference then is there is no longer anyway

Of being able to distinguish between us then 

Apart from that once upon a time we were alive

Because all journeys lead up to and terminate 

Eventually at the same old very street called 

Dead End


They Don'T Understand

They don't understand
I ask them to allow me live
Still they pollute my space
With their ignorance
Forcing me to be who 
Am not meant to be 
Was the friendship 
They desire from my soul
Is obvious they forgot 
I have my mind 
And that is not for trade

They don't understand
Cos they wish to see 
Me behave 
They way they think 
They border my personality
Only for me to be convinced
Into a life they never suit 
My soul 
So sad am judge just 
For how I look 
Not by the content
I bear 
So when I write this way 
Is very obvious still 
They don't understand 

They don't understand
Why I refuse to change
They want me different
But I want to perceive
My self by my self 
What else do they want 
I wish I could gave that 
Very thing they wish
But I can't trade my destiny
To lesser than what it deserved
I wonder how my life must 
Be changed 
When I am not ready 
To walk another mans way 
If I have my way 
Why will I change 
So simple as this 
Yet it is so difficult 
For them to understand
Cos till now despite my 
The knowledge I perceived
From  them yet and still
I don't understand why 
They don't understand

They don't understand
They don't look at the world 
They ignored what reality says
Yet they want to change me 
They can always talk about 
Our problems 
They know it but it not 
A problem to them 
If they benefits from power 
Where will their chance of 
Change come from 
So when I rebel against
Injustice 
I wonder why am misunderstood
I wonder yet and still why 
They don't understand

Premium Member Circumstantial Evidence 2

The police continued their investigation and were
extremely puzzled. They couldn't figure out how
those small footprints found by the window be
possibly responsible for the disappearance  of an eight
year old, Ann Marie Burr.
  Sadly the case was not solved. Ann Marie Burr's
parents suffered through many years of not knowing
what happened to their precious daughter. The years 
went by and there was no news of their missing
child.
  Fourteen years had gone by. Mrs Burr was 
watching a news bulletin from her local news station.
She heard of a mans name that was linked to several
murders. The name kept ringing in her mind over
and over again. Finally she called her girlfriend and
asked her if she had ever heard this familiar name.
Her girlfriend told her thinking for a minute, no I honestly,
don't remember this name. Beverly thanked her and
hung up.
  Several hours later Beverly's phone rings, her friend
excitedly tells her yes, now I remember that name!
That was the paperboy. I am absolutely sure It was the
neighborhood paperboy. TED BUNDY!!!



Serial killer Ted Bundy lived several blocks from the
kidnapped child. The small footprints were for a small
boy that were found outside the window. They say it
was Ted Bundy's first murder. He was fourteen years
old when he committed it. Her body was never found
and her parents died not knowing where their daughter
was. Mrs Burr wrote a letter to Bundy asking for 
closure, to please tell her where her daughter was. Bundy
never did. He was linked to 36 murders but a detective
that interviewed him said he had told him he was 
responsible for over 100 murders. He was eventually 
put to death.

Fix your lips

The Early Years

She is to entertain 20 people
I fried up 20 cucumbers 
5 lbs. Of okra
In a grit and Parmesan cheese
And bits of bacon in the batter
Some spices, mace, cayenne , paprika
Garlic and onion powder in the
Bater*w/flour and eggs  baking soda*
I roasted a teriyaki style pork loin
And sliced it thin with commercial
Mixer, I mean the slicer
A creamy sauce to top it
With vinager , jalapeno, lime
Cream cheese and sour cream
With a touch of fish stock and a
Drop or two of gin, extra dry honey! 

Fixed some cheesy grits
Fried some green tomatoes
Steamed some shrimp
And made crab balls
And a pot of
Hollindise
With lime and tequila 
and cayenne, Sweet Missie
Slap my ass! 

Strawberry shortcake
With
A rummy strawberry sauce
Whipped cream
And vanilla ice cream

Ya'll that's ah party! 
Slurp the white zinfendell
And tug at your drawels
She got to take
Notice of this
Mans efforts! 
Biscuits sweet like cookies
Dix's wanna pound sum
P*ssie! 
I"it'ss s ah love thang! "

Premium Member A Pirate Tale

On the ocean waves in a stormy sea
goblinskin sails fly o'er me.
To a far off lands wid bloody hands;
upon Savage’s shore did 'e land.

“Sing Hey, Ho, ’m wild and free;
at least its nae a part of me!”

Threw a mad mans skull, 'e spot me prey;
and call me black 'earts into the fray.
Knee deep in mud and covered wid gore
I gouge out der gold teeth ta add to me store.

Sing Hey, Ho, ’m wild and free;
At least its nae a part of me!

We loads de treasure, raise anchors of bone;
hoist high de midsail and fly fast home. 
Wid a new gold tooth and diamonds rare;
an' Booberie feathers dance’n me hair. 

Sing Hey, Ho, ’m wild and free;
at least its nae a part of me!

From de Slaugh bones jaw 'pon m' knee;
I carve a comb wid a tee hee hee.
Wid a skillful 'and an a bone white knife;
I finish a fob ta bring ta me wife.

Sing Hey, Ho, ’m wild and free;
at least its nae a part of me!

To Cursing's foul harbor threw sewage galore;
bundles of pelts stacked ta da fore,
down da plank, 'e walk wid swaggering stride;
viper oil coats the sword at me side.

Sing Hey, Ho, ’m wild and free;
at least its nae a part of me!

Threw thieves’ foul dens 'e carry me horde
unload at de tanner, strut ‘board.
“Cook ‘ere!” I holler “Bring me dat stew!”
Snowbeast meat pie and hearty brew.

Sing Hey, Ho, ’m wild and free;
at least its nae a part of me!

Ghoulskin sails unfurled, storm crestin' high
'e sail out ta plunder and land 'e spy.
“Ahoy! Me buckos! What’s ’pon dat shore?”
monsters dressed in bones, naught more.

“Sing Hey, Ho, I be wild and free…..
 “By gum,” der dressed in de likes a me.”

Little Miracles

Two thousand years ago a man was born
Raised, and praised.
Little did anyone see- that he would
Change mans history.
Many miracles were created while he lived
To this world he had so much to give.

Miracles still happen to this day
And to him we do pray.
Little miracles here and there
That with the world we do share.

A person who walked away from a car on fire
Only thing left was a burning tire.
An abandoned newborn found on a frozen street
How he survived without any heat.
A single engine plane crashed into the ground
Two hundred feet away the pilot is found.

9/11 was a disastrous day
But we had people who had walked away.
People buried in a caved in mine
All were found and are doing fine.

These are the miracles of which I speak
They may not have been of astounding feats.
Unlike the parting of the waters
Where the Jews walked through in an uncivil disorder.
All of them were shedding some tears
But GOD wiped away all their fears.

In every country in the world
There are miracles happening every day.
Is it GODS hand?   Who is to say !
But with FAITH, LOVE , and HOPE
People accept it and learn to cope.
