Now and Then,There's you

I was there standing talking to you
A boldness to a new world of confidence and will
Gently pulling the secret strings of my heart
Each minute she speaks 
Its as if  with an angel s voice
She guards her disguise
Notes fall down like snowflakes
Melting on my nose ,cheeks and brow
Ill sleep well tonight
Hoping to dream of your playful ways
It may be love
Or just a bridge over a feeling
To get to a special place
Like a beautiful spot to picnic in nature
It rediscovers me as a kid
When I was happy to be alone
In a World I made up to explore
By now,the interest of attraction has become an art
Spent my money on gambles of loneliness and moments that smile back

Notes fall down like snowflakes
Melting on my nose,cheeks and brow
Ill sleep well tonight ,hoping to dream of your playful ways
It may be love or a bridge over a feeling
To get to a special place
All I have is my thanks
Even just to be my friend

“In the depth of mind where happiness gleams 
life is an immanent image called beauty.” – Quote by Poet


In translucent sapphire night,
the drizzle of argentine star dust,
symbolising the sequined epithet 
of existential melodic vibrant essence, 
adorns the pearl-laced waves 
of the rolling sensuous sea of being, 
that spreads seamlessly before me, 
beyond the baroque shore, 
where I saunter with me
in the corridor of the musical mind, 
trace the tune of soulful symphony. 

The rain-washed sparkling sky 
in the chromatic trellis of the setting sun, 
spreads the seamless spectrum 
of my diaphanous dreams, 
weaved as the tapestry of fantasy
with the lattice of sanguine imagery. 
The surreal strings design the splendor 
of the charismatic rainbow motif, 
arching over the halcyon horizon 
that beckons me to the living concert, 
makes me feel fascinated the vibrato of life.

In the stalled turbulent times, 
defused in the miasma of despair,
I turn the dented emotive impulse
into lyrical crescendo of consciousness concerto. 
On its sonorous whistling wings  
I fly in the perception sky of rhapsodic sonata, 
to the harmonic realm of euphoria, 
and realize the nascent notion 
that life is a song I should sing now.

Exactly 14 Minutes and 59 Seconds Starting Now

Ok then

Ever so desperately needy seeking attention 

I'll give you exactly

14 Minutes and 59 Seconds 

Beginning from now

Then I want spotlight directly back on me

It's s mine all mine

You hear me , I will have you know 

I am the actual real true shinning star

And that is why I am always permanently
on show as it can't go ahead without me

Because there is no 1 in this world quite 
like me

So hush and settle down please my multiple

Theater to see

unwanted belief In their own 
self importance

Me 20 Years From Now

 Me 20 years from now, oh wow!
Wish I knew if it would be a quick fix, but the future I cant predict
Now past the hills brow, it will be time to make some new vows
Not to mention the pile of conflict, I plan on giving to the deep six
And I might even become a cash cow, if so I will never hold a highbrow
By then I will be 56, and hopefully I'll have a bigger bag of tricks
I will try to find a way somehow, to mend the cracks in my bough
The years will continue to fly by, and in God I will rely
To him I will pray, that he keeps leading the way
His love I cant deny, it puts me high in the sky
The stress at times may weigh, from my path I will not stray
I wont stop to cry, for life goes in the blink of an eye
Well anyways, 20 years is still a ways away
Before things go awry, I must say thanks and goodbye

Find the Moment Now

Find the moment in now
Why wait for tomorrow 
When now is sure

Why wait for an opportunity 
Tomorrow 
While there is a way now

The moment now
What do you do with it

Oh why wait for tomorrow 
When now is sure

Find the right mood
As you make now beautiful
For the joy now is what 
Make tomorrow better

Find the moment now 
To be happy
To be great full
To rejoice
To live 

Oh why wait tomorrow
When now is sure

Yeah tomorrow will
Come as now show 
What tomorrow may be
For the joy of the day 
Now
Is better than tomorrow 
Unseen

Find that inside 
That brighten your soul
For now is value more 
Than the moment yet 
Unknown 

Oh why wait tomorrow 
When now is sure

Now is no in vain
As is more better to
Find the moment in now

Tomorrow’s another day, when 
this present is dead and done
In reality one rotation, on 
earths path around the sun
The position can be calculated,
but what lies in store unknown 
Our planet’s measurable, not 
unpredictable like skin and bone

And what happened in the past, 
ripples on through today
Unnoticed in black space, 
random events still come our way 
Set forth in motion, from an 
indivisible speck of creation
Seeded is life, seeded is death, 
seeded by quantum vibration 

Does evolution even matter, 
is what we see, what we get 
A generation tries find purpose, 
then hands over to the next 
Accumulations of knowledge, 
with caveats of past mistakes 
Our monkey business perhaps, 
one condition we cannot shake 

Are we simply apex animals,
who developed higher brains
Beasts of untold genius, primal 
instinct runs through our veins 
Intelligence driving us mad, 
at odds with ethics and morals 
A fixation on mortality, conflicts 
of minds causing quarrels

What is consciousness, from 
which dimension do we view 
Electric signals in our heads, 
or cosmic portals seeping through 
Wherever this source comes from, 
and nobody knows for sure 
So many gods and theories, 
small wonder life’s obscure 

Cryptic forces build reality, 
but not readily understood 
Dark energy, Higgs fields, 
the shape of Genomes in our blood 
Crucified by curiosity, because 
of our advanced minds
Is the price of being too clever, 
really just making us blind 

What brings manifestation, 
should we look for reason at all
Why not sheer oblivion, how 
come an infinite large and small 
Born to die is simple, living 
forever way too complex 
Does truth lie in the medium,
where chosen ones intersect

Where are you Jesus 
Where are you Muhammad
Where are you God
Where are you Buddha
Where are you Allah
I’m wide awake, 
in this land of nod

Premium Member Unforgivable For Now

A stranger knowing nothing says, “forgive”
Evil acts, unforgivable for now
He speaks of something that he did not live

A person’s life misunderstood somehow
No apologies, still trying to cause harm
Evil acts, unforgivable for now

No conscience just lies, causing more alarm
There is justice for a reason by law
No apologies, still trying to cause harm

A stranger didn’t witness what I saw
In the end it will be God who decides
There is justice for a reason by law

There are reasons for where my heart resides
My right is to choose with whom I confide
In the end it will be God who decides

I have a right to my voice or to hide
A stranger knowing nothing says forgive
My right is to choose with whom I confide
He speaks of something that he did not live

Premium Member Both Sides Now

Both Sides Now

Billowing clouds up above
Sometimes smoky or just dust
Bluebirds maneuvering through
While Butterflies withdrew

All my past loves float away 
As in vapored clouds today
Becoming concealed by the moon
Only returning in afternoon

  Consequently standing here
  Between the earth and atmosphere
  Taken from my innocence
  As I look back and reminiscence

Memories only display
A vivid image I’ll downplay
Recalling this won’t be allowed
I can see from both sides now 

Uncertain and feeling confused
Not knowing what my life will do
Covered in a canopy of tears
Wrapped in a trap of fears

  Consequently standing here
  Between the earth and atmosphere
  Taken from my innocence
  As I look back and reminiscence

Premium Member The Gem

As precious stones are hidden and entwined
   in minerals of ordinary worth,
they must be found, professionally mined
   from common, rocky layers of the earth.

Extracted, polished, cut- they'll stand apart
   as valued gems.  Neglected, they will share
in earth's destructive force- erosion's art-
   dissolve away with nature's wear and tear.

Oh God, you are both Mine and Miner; strip
   this soul embedded in your work of clay,
and let your tools of grace and fellowship
   preserve the gem of Love from life's decay.

Cut many facets that reflect and show-
   the worth of gem and Miner in its glow.

Of the wimpish, and woke ones.' Euro-phile joke broke ones
