Premium Member If Only I Could

IF ONLY I COULD

         If only I could turn back the hands of time,
        at bends of my journey those mistakes done
       or mandatory works whichever, left undone                                      
       might be sought out not sure, making life sublime.
       
      To turn back the hands of time If only I could,
      so many hurried decisions I had taken
      under compulsion, situation to be shaken,
      might be rectified not sure, to do what I should.
                                
       The hands of Time If only I could turn back
       I wished not to let you go ever at any cost.
      Nothing could compensate what treasure I had lost.
     In sports of life I was thrown ruthless out of track.
     
     If I rewind my past to analyse profound
    I see, mostly I was victim of circumstance
   beyond my capability and competence.
   Even going back, I couldn’t change my background.

Premium Member Seasons' Greetings

BRUTAL COLD DAY EARLY FEBUARY 
Almost as cold as the week before
Six feet of snow fell late in January 
Please Mr. Winter, let it snow- No more  

BEAUTIFUL COLORED DAISYS EMERGE FREQUENTLY 
Mostly throughout the season of spring
When most everything is green- completely 
When eggshells break and birdies sing 

BEACH CARNIVALS DELIGHTFUL ENJOYABLE FUN 
Young ones playing games outside 
Sunbathers tanning 'neath the sun 
A nice time for a summertime ride 

BEAR CUBS DIE EVERY FALL 
I found one dead out on my range 
One died last year too, if I do recall 
Must be something to do with climate change

Premium Member Madagascar Where Did You Go

Madagascar where did you go
For weeks you came to my picnic
My sanctuary 
Unceremoniously and unwanted
And mostly uninvited 
Like the proverbial red ants
Like a lover I once knew
Everyday ... there you were
A lemur
A chameleon 
Perched on my blanket of poetry 
Staring with those curious eyes
Yearning for validation 
And perhaps a future visit
I must admit you're a nuisance
A pop-up, a laugh, a nightmare
For weeks on end I saw your faces
Burning  in my memory
Trolled and uncontrolled 
Now that you're gone
I look out the window 
I imagine lions, giraffes, and rhino's 
Running wildly towards my picnic

Note-for weeks on end, I would come to this site and be inundated with ads. The Madagascar ad takes the cake. Lately it's gotten worse.

Premium Member Momma's Kitchen

So small about 9x9 feet
No running water, easy to keep neat
The churn set next to the chimney
There was I, anger within me

Come butter come, isn't this fun
I don't like doing this
When will it get done
Finally dipping out tasty yellow

Yellow butter to butter biscuits
We could not afford toast
Definitely not Triscuits
Sometimes pork roast

Life was hard and mostly lonely
It helped me to make it in life though
If I had known how life would flow, if only
In understanding I could grow

Up there on the large old farm
When I was so very young
Where life could be a charm
But there my childhood was hung

The Test of Time

The test of time 
When they look down on you 
Just let them be 
They don't deserve your worth 
That is if they know your value 
Don't get angry over every rejection
Some are also in your favour 
Take a time to study who you are 
If you found out who you are 
Grow it and go for it 
This is the biggest remedy
Of life 

The test of time 
No all that glitters are gold 
But use every good chance properly
Some times we can't be up to date 
But make sure your mind power 
Never lose focus 
We are meant to grow by time 
But it depends on what you will grow with 
Challenging time are always around
It doesn't take time to be in them 
Despite how good or strong you are 
You can't run away from 
Yourself in life mostly
From the act of 
The test of time

Premium Member The Concert

It was a summery San Francisco evening.
Dressed in tight jeans, I was the modern mother
taking my daughter to the first and last concert of our youthful days together.
Though we sat back in the general admission seats of a huge amphitheater,
the excitement all around us was palpable.
The audience, mostly women, screamed with delight
each time we heard the first few notes of our heartthrob’s songs
exploding, immediately recognizable, from the speakers
strategically placed around us.

The sky began to darken as lights played upon the stage,
enhancing our idol’s chiseled features on the wide screen above us..
No longer able to contain ourselves, most of us were on our feet.
As the beat from the band pulsated through us, body and soul,
we became a mass of swaying flesh, uniting ourselves
with this enthralling performer in the only way we knew how.
Unable to stop, I let the music guide my hips inside those skinny jeans
 as I stood there grooving to hit after hit after hit!

That night I was sexy, free, and forever young,
and I was one with them all 
                                               in  pop rock paradise.

Cover Eyes

Oh I remember when I thought
I was in control and could see
Then the Lord showed me
How blind I was not being free
Now that He has opened my eyes
I want to cover my eyes
And just listen to His voice
For mostly everything else 
Is a bunch of clanging noise
This is for fun I could not resist this picture
But indeed this is how I feel in the deception
Of all that is going on around us that many can't see
To much division and religions to adapt to mankind 
The gospel was not intended to pick and choose
To accommodate the corrupt ways of man
But to separate one from their old self and evil desires 
Their lustful hearts and minds, 
To be changed with the spirit from Christ 
Into a new creation with new mind and hearts
Purified of all impurities so He might reign within 
The gospel of Paul living in the spirit
Should be what one shall aim for
To have instilled those thoughts and spirit
But I understand we must all try our way first 
Hopefully it does not go so good you become
Your own shrine to give praise
I thought my life was going good 
Until I began to read the words of Jesus for myself
Then I was in awe of what's going on

Premium Member Aunt Eartha's Winter Interview

What are your most winterish
critical trauma events
in these most recent
three millennia?

Why 
just my traumas?
Why not their corresponsive
therapies
for restoring EarthJustice?

Please go on
and on
questioning my questions
seemingly without end,
like an arctic wind-blown 
starless night
in eternally restless January.

As you say,
and, but for this grand analogy,
you would pay dearly
for your unsprung youth,

Back in pre-colonial daze
of sacred tribal glad,
mostly naked clad
reunions

Fall harvests produced fertile gratitude,
more of a positive
win/win attitude.

In those last warm and golden times
of nature nighttime naivete
some Governor,
a Wise Elder, perhaps

No matter how Patriarchal,
would deep dream
to set defenses against
each sacred Other

Yet pantheistically inclusive Mother Earth
could not feel ripe
or right, apart

Summer fullness
and winter dormant absence
fail to positively correlate
Earth's spirited spring minds
and physical womb-falling bodies
with metaphysical,
sacred bipartisan,
deeply thoughtful
yet hibernating 
frustrated feelings
failing to confluently 
and competently understand

Communicating
and excommunicating
across seasons
and present seas
of sacred vulnerable immigration
integration
creolization,
followed by thoughtfully transparent 
slow-grown emigrant sacred status
rooted in wisdom
and freedom to grow copassions,
not mere freedom from
some other kindless
kingdom

Immigrating/Emigrating EarthTribes
exhaling summer's sway
away
migrating winter's WombDream play
back in to sacred circling
and recycling stay.

Thanks for that,
Aunt Eartha.
Sounds like less of a summery answer
and more of a deep wintering question.

Yes, my dear,
and what does winter taste
and look
and feel like?

Restoring Earth's
not-quite-so-everlasting
seemingly endless 
cold white privilege,

Thawing into
more spring/fall balance,
green/blue global 
hibernating 
matriarchal,
yet apparently dormant,
sacred honed ecologists.

Sorry, Aunt Eartha,
drifting off,
wandering in winter wonder

EcoTherapy, once around again,
regenerating global 
GoldenPlaying Peace

Within this silent wintered star's
bright prolific night.

Premium Member Gotta Take Care of Me

These days my home is a disaster where no neatness is 
mastered. For years I did the spic and span scene for a 
spouse who notices only the TV screen and our part alien, 
completely annoying teens.  I eventually deciphered my 
efforts made none of them nicer or wiser. 

I realized that to remain a cleanliness and organizer striver 
would sooner than later require I take a daily tranquilizer.  
In time, I learned my bed was a welcoming desire and the 
art of long naps was my perfect mood equalizer.  So, why 
brood over other family member’s feelings when my own 
felt much nicer. 

There was a time when dust bunnies reduced me to shame 
but, now they’re just fluffy cuties that I individually name.  
Whereas I once frequently behaved like a total grump 
because all treated our dining table like the local dump, 
I now idly ponder when the pile will style a solid ceiling 
thump.

Home-nest chores with potential upset tests no longer 
interest my new style, but soaking in the tub attracts 
my delight worthwhile.  My bathroom has become my 
private, pampering isle.  Magazines to thoroughly savor 
tempt me in a dream-flavored pile.  Within that little 
room I’m managing a pampering cocoon.

Once upon my stress time, I would be cryin’ over clothes 
not ironed and family tried neither soothing or inspiring 
me. These days my ironing policy is that such is pure folly 
and that only washing machine clean attire need be desired.  
I no longer grow vacuum sore ‘cause rooms are too trashed 
for dirt to hit floors.

I am learning to keep my child-like, spontaneous smile 
despite any and all house or family trials.  If in this lesson
I succeed, that’s all I really, truly and mostly need.  I wish
to live and love centered in a state of relaxed ‘cause that’s
where my spic and span are truly at.

Till You See Him Right

The only thing I still see going in you
is a small piece of your heart
That love for one another
left behind for your own dart

Where all you knew of love
was a simple plan
Just to love a man who loved you
and a fold of land

While you never stopped to wonder
what of love unplanned
Where the others all around you
were the grapes you fanned

And the wrath of God who'll tell you
that there's other men
Who you opened up your heart to
Who included then...

Were the brothers of your heart
who you'd kept it for
All when dating your own man
that you left for more

When your love was never worthless
and was meant much more
And your trust was never faithless
as you're worth much more

As the love for who you loved
was never meant as sure
When your love for all your God
is a love you're sure

And he'll take you to a man
when he's filled you sure
That your love for only one
means your heart is pure

And the one you chose to love
isn't meant to match
But see through you for the loveless
where your failure passsed

And to take you to the higher ground
where you won't ask
Does he love me for the moment
or is he cost task

For your love to flourish mostly
from the knowledge dear
That your kept by love who'd rather
see you free to fear

When the love that you are feeling
is a love quite grand
All encompassed by the lord
and his holy hand

So you go on to his living
in a world to stand
For the love of one another
where your love is fanned

By the flames of all the others
who would see you pale
To the love of only one
who can see your tale

Where your love is all for him
in a package frail
And you stand up for the wind
in a love he'll sail

For a love for one another
where your sure to be
Just the only one who loves him
just for being he

And you go about your business
being all he has
When the love you feel for others
is the love he'd pass

Every moment that your with him
for a love to last
For the moments that he loved you
for all you are cast

And you're solely loved for you
up until you're clasped
By the love you feel for others
filling him with bast

When you know all love's for others
when you hold him tight
And you know no loves a man's
till you see him right
