When I Was In Heaven

King James Bible. New Testament.    Revelation 6:1 

"Now I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals; and I heard one of the four living 
creatures saying with a voice like thunder, 'Come and see.'"



        I awoke to the sound of thunder crashing in my head. There is a faint mumbling 
in the background of a violent rumbling. A whisper, now growing louder as the sound 
embedded in my head is traveling deeper  and deeper into my body. The sound 
vibrating through my bones and radiating out of my body, such that I levitate and 
ascend through the ceiling into the clouds above. I hear the voice and it's becoming 
clearer to understand "Come... " the whisper was soft and gave me a chill that crept 
down my spine. Passing through a cloud I was now in a marble stone hall that 
stretched as long as Heaven it seems. Before me stands a golden alter "... See." the 
voice bouncing in my head like thunder; a flash of light and twelve chairs appear 
floating on each side of the golden alter. As fast as they appeared, they vanish in a 
cloak of light. In the distance of heaven I hear the screeching screams of a Lamb being 
slaughtered... then again the twenty four chairs appeared with four creatures standing 
without shadows. Like a flash of lighting the images come and go. A Silence falls upon 
Heaven while an eerie presence lingers along with the music of faint chords being 
plucked. The music and the suspense subsidies; the voice, this time coming from the 
creatures "Come..." I am content to obey. I walked towards to the creatures; they all 
are winged hybrid animals covered in eyes. Some eyes looked frantic as if they where 
screaming out in pain;  Some where crying, others looked right at me never relaxing 
their stare. " Come and See." and in his eyes I'd seen the fall of man, the end of all 
days, there was a dimming light after flames enveloped the earth...  I then was awake 
lying on me bed, this is too vivid to have been a dream. Did I make it all up or was I in 
Heaven as it seems?

Replanted

He was airlifted to another place.
The heaths, the dales,
the high ridges,
all began to slip away
under throbbing wings.

(When you are unearthed,
roots still wriggle,
flecks of native mud
cling to your senses
and come with you.
A sediment makes its way
inside wrinkles and pockets.
Places you have slept on,
waded across,
had breezy sex over,
tether your turf).

He began to plant.
He left lichen trails
on the faux marble floors of shopping malls.
he placed moss under plastic rocks.
In time he discovered good clay in a new land.
If asked:
to what country he belonged?
He would show the dirt
under his fingernails.

February Shivers

Billows of a winter snow blowing through my curtain window 
all I sweet remember is the way the willow tree smelled 
that creamy, sugary, wintergreen scent of its lovely mellow  
and the way the sun tilted each time you looked at me...
Snowflakes falling from a heavy laden sky of marble 
and though my heart is longing, it is full of your song 
that slow jazz music made us drunk as we danced
beneath the sultry moon, like a a fork and spoon  
February shivers, my how the winter defuses  
all that is left is the scent of a warmth remembered  
healing hands,  *** secret pillow talks   
You grew old I grew old, then we both stopped living 
My how I recall those winter snaps, 
two young lovers lost in the silk of life's entwine     
I remember when our love was fresh and new 
like the weeping willow, dressed to the nines   
Ah !  But those were different times and now is now, 
I am presently lost, ... in this winter pow.

Petrified Soul

A walk in a cemetery. Living in the past, but tales
I love the past. It’s not a fairy tale
Feel. Past lives. Death feels from the ages of life

Beautiful, nice, gorgeous moments, times
Cold feeling, almost freezing, around old stones and graves
Here live souls on stones, monumental names, strict signs

Remember the past. Because. Remembering the past. The life
Old monuments, milestones of life and development. Loved on
The past. Good to live here. The present is dirty. 
All around the world. Need to find crystal. Saving me from my past life

There are light stones. Remembered names. All in the cemetery
This cemetery is my inspiration. Loved the tours there. A dream home
Thank you, past! Remembered people! I love you! I am a student of yours

Thank you, Wembley! Thank you, Kingsbury! This cemetery is the land of the past
I love. Great Thanks! The fantasy lives in your history, send the present life
I stay here. I died here. I want to be here, an invisible stone. The hologram love

Not me. I know. There lives a lady. 
She lived here two hundred years ago.
Amazing. Tall. Attractive. Air creature. Tale

Long white dress. Marble white skin. White long face. Black shiny short hair
A womanly beauty. Long legs. I respect. I love this ideal. She lives in a statue
I know where. A stone angel. Can you see? No, you can’t. I know this lady

She is a stone. Her soul is a statue. A ghost, a shadow in my life. 
She needs love. Always following me in the cemetery. The secret desire
I remember her from a dream. She just watched me in the cemetery

I loved her. She is dead. In Hungary. Why follow me? Why? She needs to kill.
She wants to digest my life. I know. I will die. I never returned her love. She is suffering
Followed me from Budapest to London. Died many years ago. Hmm. Perfect empress

She died. Her love lives. Sharp blade. Wants kill. Waiting. In the graveyard
Fearing. In my heart. I don’t go there. I feel her desire for revenge. She was a pure heart
Perfect personality. Guardian angel. I love her. Waiting for me in the cemetery, her statue

Always
I can't delete her
From my life
She is a stone
Coded love
The killer
I loved you, Elisabeth
Love
In bloody heart
Mine

Ode To An Acre of Land and the Building That Stands There

Tall and pure oasis 
So much has changed
You remain constant and lovely 
Gentle, morning green grass
Breaks like waves, laps at the shores
Of white, gray, and yellow stones
Towering above me, silent and sure 
Chiseled marble, granite spires, oak
Wrought iron, your scent is old 
A familiar volume I keep close to me
The reflections in your pools
Still glass, not a leaf disturbs 
Irises cling to your walls 
The distance beyond you sways 
Spreading lazily into shade trees 
Sun-tinted pastures and weathered fences 
I walk with reverence, still, after so long
Your ground is my sanctuary
It houses my past 
I am a child forever in front of you

Premium Member The Chisel

Chisel bites, marble yields,
The symphony of grit and steel.
Sweat paints my brow,
A testament to the toil,
The labour that births beauty from the stone.

Yeah, it’s hard work, this crafting,
This sculpting, this… transformation.
But out of the chaos, a form takes flight,
A vision born of pain, a masterpiece in the light.

The world outside
A blur of noise,
A rat race, a frenzy,
But here, in this sacred space,
My heart finds its rhythm,
My soul finds its peace.

Hammer falls, dust flies,
A melody of measured blows.
In my tired eyes, a spark ignites
The joy of creation, the fire that never dies.

This is more than just stone,
This is a story,
A testament to hours spent,
Sweat and tears, and blood that’s been spent.

This is the joy of work!
The purpose that drives us,
The fire that burns within,
And makes our lives worth living!

So get your hands dirty,
Embrace the struggle,
The toil, and the pain,
Because in the midst of it all,
You’ll find the joy that makes life real.

Premium Member Gold and dust

In the maze of concrete and glass,
where tall buildings reach the sky,
rivers of money flow,
but only to the chosen few.

Below, a shadowy city exists,
filled with hard work and grime,
where dreams are just whispers,
lost in the cracks of old streets.

The rich, wrapped in fine clothes,
dance to the tune of hidden power,
leaders of a silent orchestra,
playing a song of silence and control.

Their laughter, touched with champagne,
drowns out the cries from below,
where rough, tired hands,
reach for fleeting hopes.

Halls of influence, slick with promises,
echo with the steps of the elite,
their words, hidden daggers,
cutting through the truth.

In this theater of lies,
curtains of wealth hide
the machinery of greed,
oiled by the sweat of unseen millions.

From high-rise penthouses,
they look down on a sea of struggle,
where the hungry feast on illusions,
and the thirsty drink from wells of despair.

Marble palaces stand tall,
monuments to ambition,
while shanties lean on faith,
held up by pillars of resilience.

Markets buzz with chaos,
colors blend in the bazaar of life,
where the weight of a single coin
can tip the balance of existence.

Yet, the streets remember,
each cobblestone a witness,
to the dance of disparity,
the waltz of inequality.

Children of the dusk,
eyes wide with innocence,
navigate the alleys of shadows,
their dreams painted in hues of maybe.

In the rooms where fortunes are made,
decisions are inked in secrecy,
pacts that seal destinies,
unseen hands shaping the world.

But in the heart of the storm,
a murmur grows,
a rhythm of defiance,
beating against the pulse of oppression.

Voices rise, a chorus of unity,
challenging the gilded throne,
for in the contrast of gold and dust,
lies the spark of revolution.

The streets, arteries of rebellion,
pulse with the lifeblood of change,
as the fabric of corruption
begins to fray at the edges.

In the end,
from the ashes of greed,
a new dawn will rise,
where the scales of justice
find their balance,
and the city of gold
is built on a foundation
of humanity's unyielding spirit.

Premium Member Love and Loyalty

I seek a heart that beats in rhythm with my own,
A hand to hold through seasons yet unknown, trust lives softly in her gentle grace.
Not perfection carved from marble stone,
But someone real, with flaws she’s always owned,
Who speaks her mind with kindness as her guide,
And chooses still to walk here by my side.
In morning light or when the day grows dim,
Through joy that soars and times when hope grows thin,
I long for love that’s steady, strong, and true—
A faithful heart that says, “I’m here with you.”
For in the end, what matters most to me
Is finding someone who will always be
Both lover and the truest friend I know,
Together, helping each other grow.????????????????

Premium Member I Can't Take You with Me

I can't take you with me, 
When I leave this world to go home.
When I'm laid to rest my life goes to pass,
Underneath those blades of grass.

A marble stone, 
Marking a place, the life of me.

Don't stop too long,
Grieving for me, 
Life needs to be moving along.

I'm here, to help, that life moves on,
Don't get weak, 
Without being, staying so strong.

Move along with, your dreams in you,
Find a place in this world, just being you.

But, on your wedding day,
Look within,
You'll find me there for you.

I'll have a smile or two, 
Watching over you,
A hope, a tear of joy just for you.

And, when your children are born,
Take a moment for me,
All I ask is, please, don't forget about me.

I'll always be there, with a little pride in my soul,
Some dignity, 
I'll be proud of you more.

So, think of me for a while, 
Along your life's pathway,
I'll think of you when I go home.

A EBB TRIBUTE
weeping voices
                  agony
in anguish
      unmoved 
the
sensual soul is
         shaken&forsaken
yet
   marvels&listens
to the sound
     of the strong &
then
    answers

the shroud of despair 
retreats
      in solemn fantasy
seeks&
   entreats
to
   understand yesterdays
made
    manifest
       in tainted thoughts
spread
ready
   for the fight
among
   those on high

below
   the unbeloved
gaze
 on the altar
now
so
forlorn
   to endure the shame
speak
of the brave
reach
to do right
behind
each still thought

the ardent
        undone
by
   passion's applause
at
sweetness rising within
flings
   fear clear
      of the morning
reverie
     inviting approval

solemn sorrow
   blushed
      away
smiling
by
silent eyes
of
the worthy
plead&
    tenderly 
stroke away
the tears

remorse denied
wisdom undone
flees
  the glory
   of peace:
below
wrath pulsates
festers
   as a symbol
a
distinct image
in a column of flame
a field
   in motion
beyond
   the curtain

a golden room
a crown
for the assured
an honour
for faith
    a claim
     to identity
a favour
  to the demure
a strand
   of he distinct

beauty pervades
the face
   of the lovely
in a pale
      shade of marble
speaks
  no more
      of despair
passes
   as a shadow
sees..
  but
    never
to understand
