Big Words, Small Words Its Really Up To Her

She wasn't a learned woman per se or so I was told, 
by the air that surrounded her late in the eve as she talked away; 
Its as if she plucked it from the time belt of knowledge, 
Nostradamus style, I would say: 
Sometimes she addressed Kings & Queens, other times paupers and cats 
she wrote like she tasted her words, rolled them around on her tongue,  
but other times she blew them through you like wind, sifting through a kite.  
Scattered reckless like a hungry seagull, carving a morsel only to die for her trade.
She was water going round a solid rock always turning,  
rearranging herself to please everyone and no one. 
She suffered no fools except for the man who placed his palms around her, 
shaping her like a piece of wet clay.   
Playing nice in a world of pipers and mutes, she was a diamond in the rough; 
He once told her there was a woman called Helen who made millions, 
hosting a show on the tele, she didn't even have a high school degree.   
He knew the scattered wild garden she tilled, yes she was a beautiful mess,  
one that reminded him of a he, of long ago.    
She was a woman with big words and small, who wrote for animals, 
humans, aliens, Neanderthals, scientists, priests, and flowers.  
She was both the flame and the match, always ready to strike.

POETS


Desert dust before the rain hampered our walk
                       on the Oregon  floor
             boards creaked with late afternoon lore
                 
Dry gin in a glass waiting
                       it wanted to bubble like champagne 
               but there was nothing to babble about 
                   
A rake for an unworked farm
                            listened for fractals
                Tesla said he was not available 
                              today

 Ears with a mop of white hair 
                  detective with his magnifying glass
                         he thought of making love to a
                               young African maiden
  she came for the cheese and drinks 
              not the poetry 
                              he changed his mind
in case she wanted his property too
                          
             A thick skinned peach arrives
                                 nourishing seed
                            sugar salt and cinnamon sticks
                                she was not about to offer anybody lifts

To hell with this poetry thing
             I want to be rich oozed from her brain stem
                 
                   
Wooden baton
           rich gravied marrow
gurgled a verse through throttled container


One-eyed pond
              there were mosquitoes to be uncovered
                           or a tadpole or two
Maybe
the mud was sufficiently thin

           Such strange creatures, these poets

              
Gingerbread woman
                               hot from the oven
offering the sanctity of materiality
      she appeased our hunger
with a jaunty hat

What do I think, the ego asked the ego
                      No thoughts arrived

What do you think, the ego asked Soul
                      
                        I do not think
                              I feel oceanic passion
                                  as the rain mutes the dust
                                          beneath the poets’ feet

A Silent Vision

Be still and absorb the sound
of serene tranquility.
A silence so loud, it's never heard on the glisten of the sea, or the spectrum of the rainbow, so quiet that light escapes to travel just to hear its colors.
The magnificent wind drifts. Sometimes forever until it catches itself, flowing through the weeps of a Willow only to hear the chaotic whispers harmoniusly falling one by one on the wings of doves.
The visions of this Cathedral silence enlightens the sweetest of mutes. Colorful and silent. They see in awe the beauty of serenity.
So quiet that an orchestra builds in numbers. 
Carefully draped across a the waves of a faint breeze a sparkle of silk leads to a design only an artist could weave.
Very delicate. And a wonderous  sight to behold this magnificent gallery was designed in the silence of the night.
Where landscapes come alive and the painter of light finds true inspiration. And whilst the world closes and lovers , love in silent 
The writer and poet, that sits on high, can smile in silence.

Hyacintho Caelum

“Hyacintho Caelum” 



salvus me
per poetica
Hyacintho Caelum
advenit
sicut turbo
in pluvia

red life reigns
poetry awakens
opening 
gifts again

a gain

Life 
mysterious 
calls us all forward
metronome time
constantly calling 

the call 
it never changes

the poets’ Majesty
pleasure through 
the wrecking balls
dropping white and 
black dogs barking pain

blue sky arrives 
through inner worlds
ownership - 
their belief in faith

messages
in the crazy minds
all turning keys
treasure notes

delivered
and passed
like naughty kids 
in class, romantic

black sheep 
waving white flags
and all the recalcitrant
revolutionaries 

marching metronomes
marking wild rides
through storms
in search of some
golden purpose

down rabbit holes following 
their shining diamonds
tears of mutes imparting
stars shining their way

they seem like magi 
searching for some better
more beautiful 
destiny 

dark night
becomes day, eventually
some not blind, find losers
leading the way

red roses, 
sacred hearts
deep, some 
bitter and dark

turning inwards 
then outwards 
now becoming bees 
pollinating the blooming

of all the others
lost then found 

poets 
and their stories
parked, for sedentary 
ghosts to read
ignite new sparks 

blessed 
through soft and harsh 
sentences 
in the prisons 
of their mind

they are now 
opening doors

like the Magi
protectively 
holding forth 
their Frankincense
and Myrrh 

wisdom for fools
now wise men
is eventually found
in an unrecognised world
birthing pearls 

placed reverently
on electric walls of worship
lights glowing ultra violet
are ignited by something other
to lead the way

Winter watches sky
arriving on clouds
Christmas melts all
like a Summer heatwave
hearts to bloom again

we have read 
what others wrote
poems and verses 
in their ancient tomes
their scrying books

before us they 
were searching 
for their purpose
written with love 
through joy and pain

gifts and lessons
through 
one true word 
our destiny 
now begins

LOVE

always 
wins

awakening
awakenings

Premium Member Unassailable Purity

When accidental 
auroras stroll along 
the pale highlights of
camouflaging corpses
and death blossoms
in vulturous hearts of 
dreadful puppets, 
she always holds
pixie dusts of 
strawberry seeds within 
october's obsidian quartz. 

Gaze beyond those
glass-stitched horizons, 
as she cracks the 
carmine cocoon of 
judgemental juxtapositions 
and transforms 
carbon-coated 
milliseconds to 
magenta-gold 
pronunciation of 
peaceful phrases. 
She is a silken 
cream-dove, 
floating above 
murky musings of 
redolent rhinestone-
reveries. 

As prismatic primroses 
shall cleanse every 
sin from the witching 
spellbook, she will waltz 
in whispering lulls of liberty,
emancipating from 
chloroform-stained 
chains of blood-
scented blames. 

Her sunflower-shield 
and aurous 
summer-sword of 
amber poesy
can slice spicy 
silhouettes of 
graphite goblins, 
she will never 
surrender to those 
misinterpreting
megalomaniac minds, 
who twirl along 
masquerading rivulets 
of manipulative 
assumptions. 

She is the shiniest roar
above grimoires of grief, 
like an 'unassailable purity', 
washing away 
emerald exhales of pain, 
who mutes each cosmic
raven's lament and 
distils russet-white-lilies with 
her alchemical aroma.


A Deafening Sense of Thunder

A thunderstorm passed over, 
gun turrets flash.
gray hulls rumble and roll
above tumultuous clouds.

Evening commences to weep -
an aftermath,
a damp emotive capsizing
that barely touches upturned faces
yet it washes fright from brows.

As seafaring battles go
it was a skirmish, 
flotillas of cruisers awash from
near misses;
they sailed away
leaving this whittling rain,
a backwash of electric jism,
the distant sound 
of sailors shouting for rum.

Behind our eyes
deaf fish mouth deaf bubbles.
Sea legs are braced against
peripheral nerves.
Ozone spumes against inner ears.

The wake of the storm
mutes and tingles, damps down
as it slowly drips
into a salty bucket
of silence.

The Art of Shutting the Hell Up

I know, I know. 
For some of you people, it's hard. 
You have no choice.
Your parents didn't teach you any better. 
If at all.
If you had any parents to speak of. 
And the crowd you run with is worse than you.
So, in conclusion...where would you go to know.
Where would you learn to grasp the courtesy, the decorum.
The bourgeois sense of civility somehow afforded to the rest of mankind.
You wouldn't.
You didn't. 
And there you are.
Flapping. 
Flapping that big-ass mouth of yours.
Into your spittle-loving smart phone.
Spewing and flailing.
Mewing and assailing.
With everyone within earshot (read: a thousand nautical miles) absorbing your golden renderings. 
Renderings filled with more primal, guttural nonsense than a naked mute, set on fire, playing charades. 
More monologue than dialogue. 
A demagogue with a catalog. 
And then you finish your call. 
And start another. 
More nonsense about someone else we don't give a **** about.
And then you finish. 
You go silent. 
There's hope for us. 
When all of a sudden. 
The earbuds go in. 
And the singing begins. 
In tune, then out.
(Insert meaningless rap dribble and delicious mcnuggets of profanity HERE)
I guess naked mutes like karaoke.
The train arrives.
We all depart.
There is a G-d.

A Quiet Fight

A self-whispered battle cry
An uplifting quote for another try
With a burdened mind behind a straight face
I have a sense of self like I’m in a dark place

Inconspicuous at the battlefront
Drawn on every single day I confront
A past to escape and a future to nose
I am always one threat away from a lost cause

Regrets and fears dimension each day
Dead ends and blind curves map my way
Picking broken pieces of myself and mopping spills
I have learnt to front chills and thrills

You won’t see me rolling up sleeves
Or lurking in a thicket with rustling leaves
You won’t see me in a belligerent pose
My war is waged against inner wounds and flaws

I am heated but never bubble over with anger
I am insulted but never stumble over due to slander
I absorb the inevitability of sorrow and pain
I turn to verities to diffuse the intrusion of hate

The silence of violence is what I dread
Like the wordless cry of the mutes with a fright
An internal fray so isolated and unheard
In the depth of my heart is where I will win the quiet fight

Premium Member Book Miniatures

See these tiny things
Filled with thought profound;
Cute miniatures spring
From creative grounds.


In a format small,
Craft miniature books;
Haiku moments call:
Browse and take a look.


One and a half inch,
The book height is short;
Words squeezed just to lynch
Warm poetry is wrought.


A sure design feeds
Steady hand-skill mints;
This collage craft seeds
Finesse that now tints.


A paper stock craft
Comes forth from ideas;
Design a rough draft,
Mental image steers.


Visuals now take shape,
With thought focus here;
Measure out or drape
What impulse sparks clear.


A tiny book page
Via plain prototype;
Step by step each stage
Styles wonder not hype.


Imagine the route
From a plain blank sheet:
Until success shouts
With product you meet.


This crafty craft fits
The collage art flow;
Poise flavours sure wit
To let tact now show.


Print the outline page,
Trim, cut and align;
Patience works each stage,
Keep eyes on design.


Arrange each page right,
Guide the lines of fold;
Set rule to guide sight,
Keep pulp sculpture bold.


Fold each page well,
Now back-to-back;
Frame by frame tells,
Allow some slack.


Press the stack stage,
Glide steel rule straight;
Sharp blade trims edge,
Both sides look great.


Fit hard cover,
Like a sandwich;
Forge maneuvers,
Paste each to each.


Surely and truly,
The book sculpture grows;
Practice works surely
When rough edges show.


And then, finally:
A tiny book sums
The effort nicely
With a fine outcome.


Mini book that forms
A miniature whole;
A focus sets norm
In dealing with soul.


So crafty craft shows
In body mass cute;
Feel a certain glow
In silence that mutes.


Little treasures here
In miniature books;
To spread ease and cheer
In satisfied looks.


Start again now
To make one more;
Watch skills endow
A fine rapport.

Premium Member Reed of Dawn Time

Caress my weary soul
with threads of muted sound
meander through the meadow grass
ring from the barren branch of ancient time
shriek, shrill, trill with the murder of crows
or the jock-stepped lock of mocking bird
and native drummers, lick the wind~
extend the pointed poignant tip of tongue
to pursed lips and fleet fingers

Caress my weary soul
with threads of morning light
ray born effervescence of reed of dawn
reborn with each heart whose life is formed
trill through the caverns, the canyons of time
each depressed fingertip mutes
all…all that sublime~
