Premium Member Co-Operation Yewtree

A soiled foul foil, this dirty 'blade'
A truthless slithering renegade
A ruthless spineless conniving man

No of him, I was never a fan. 

I saw him through the many years
I turned the T V channels over 
I said he is not as he appears. 

No I was not taken; I was not had. 

I saw through his false charms
I noted the bracelets on his arms
I detested his rose coloured spec's

No I knew. I saw, the trap he set.

I had visions of him seanceing
I saw he spoke with dark spirits
I knew him; as wholly unclean.

No others scoffed he is so good

I said see; his style itself it is a lie
He is dressed as if he is 25. 
I pointed ‘its a ploy for the young’

‘No’ others said, ‘but its harmless fun'

I am so sad for his victims of crime
I am glad though they are known
I am hoping for better all the time.

Yes call him evil for it’s the truth
Yes he was such a twisted brute
Yes an abuser; yes he was a fiend. 

But to give him a good name
Could it be done?
In the light of what we've seen?

Your answer is in a winsome word
Child nurturer even carer protector
Oh yes you have rightly so heard. 

       (Paedophile deciphered) 

       It means all those things. 

I ask you is it more fitting to ascribe
This description to a goodly king?

Yet for a lowly slinking brute, 
this gutter-scum of men, 
to name him so it makes me puke. 

He'd place the odd blackball
I'd say
To bar ‘unworthy' men, back in his
Day.
I bet he loved those black tie do's
A charity 'thing' in glistening shoes.

The cash the power the contacts
Grand 
He was called a just and upright man.
Yet lucifer led 'sir jim' right then
He was within the grasp of his hand.

Everything that is given
 It's so long to me for a reason
 For just the season
 I am too cold and cultivate process receiving 
 Guide and substain
 I am too be a partaker of it the gleanings
 That I've been covering it with I am a sole processor maintain
 I plant, I water,  I watch over it these trues
These are the things that I must do
 In essence to help grow up right ever so more futher
 I am watching,  I am a caregiver,  I am a holder,  I am a nurturer,
 Behold I go, I hold for this reason
 I care for what God has given me this season

Premium Member An Ode To My Three Strong Traits

I needed someone in whom I could trust
to let me know of my three strongest suits.
I asked my daughter; instantly she gave
a quick summation of my attributes.

The first she named  (my easy-going ways)
I had not quite expected, but in her view
since I’m rarely ruffled, I am at ease.
The more I think about it, that’s very true.

I’m tolerant; not much will set me off.
Forgiving and relaxed is how I am.
As Popeye the Sailor Man was wont to say:
“I yam what I yam, and that’s what I yam!”

The second trait my daughter mentioned was
I’m fun – an easy one for me to guess.
Housework I will shirk if there’s to be had
a good time!  I’ll just leave the house a mess.

Fun and easy-going go together.
What reason in the world is there to be
too hard on others or on my own self?
I love to laugh and often I’m carefree.

I like the last thing that my daughter said.
Of scriptures, it would be my favorite one,
which starts out with the two great words “Be kind.”
“Be kind to one another,” said God’s son.

I’ve never been the perfect nurturer
as a mom, but I feel at least I’m kind.
To know my daughter thinks of me this way
gives me much gratitude and peace of mind.

Passion and Desire

Passion or Desire is not pure potential seeking manifestation.
It is the manifestation of Life's flaming sword, runic capital letter of the sacred word. 
A spark that has been sparked,  
the flint that struck it's mark.
A self illuminated Ray of light piercing the dark. 
Of nothingness, it appears or so it seems, but the problem with that is you don't get something from nothing. 
So what lifts on it's wing?
Is it the designation retracing its flight?
The deja Vu wizard at the crossroad, 
that fights the good fight.
Against Apathy, to help the lost at sea.
Like a lighthouse at night?
Nonetheless, it is indeed of the light
visions designation, interestingly enough, taking flight, as
both path and destination.
The calling, calling the bluff 
with no hesitation.
For when the going gets tough.
It is the drastic measures of the spirits measure plumblined sublime.
Subliminally flashing divine coat of arms of a kind.
Adventurer- nurturer- divulger of the  sepulchre.
An endless quest fore-treasured as Holy Grail and counted by the heart's ledger like Braille is for the blind.
Of the heart's quill unquelled, determination at its behest, unquenchable fire. 
That never fails the test. 
Of time and 
the germination of seed, against backdrop of dusts.
The Will's litmus test against need.
Activation or bust.
See. It is not potential anything.
It IS everything. 
At least it's the best. 
For in God We Trust. In deed.

They Called Us Witches

They called us witches to keep us silent,
our words curling in smoke. They held
our heads under water, tied feet to a stake;
judged those without children or mark upon
skin. They accused us of misleading children,
that poor crops were due to our sin. Crone and
whore, bossy and loud; battle-axe and tart,
frigid and shrew. They called us witches to cover 
our screams, they called us witches to hide 
our power. They called us witches to spread myth, 
they called us witches to dispel our magic. Strong
and independent, courageous and true; brave and
united, nurturer and proud. They call us witches?
A name begets importance. We call them, nothing.

Premium Member Auntie

Auntie

In her lofty ways, she was always
the best example of
the stars out-shining the moon.

Her ways of doing things always
correct and proper
she was a student of the Queen.
Place setting and
the china on the table all had to
be per the law.

And no PHD could outwit her with
her twelfth-grade education.
She though dignified and learned
always quoted un-biblical quotes
from other bibles.

"Cleanliness is next to Godliness ".

I would say well didn't
God make dirt too!?
Don't be asinine she would say-
Seemed as if the emphasis
would be on the "ass"
I would laugh... and when
she thought
I was not looking
she would laugh too.

Auntie could hardly
pass up a good humorous
exchange no matter how
ostentatious or outrageous.
Her well-groomed and well
manicured demeanor
was not just for Sundays.
She served her God faithfully
in words and in deeds every day.

I have never known her
to beg or borrow.
Never seen her complain as
"Arthur" took his toll on her knees.

She was faithful to the end
and though she had no
children of her own,

she was nurturer of all us
children whom were
blessed enough to be
corrected by her or to
eat a slice of her lemon
meringue pie.
Anytime I think of her
I remember the sweetest

music coming from
the piano that displayed
her mood with music-
Her piano voiced her
thoughts in pitch and
range; as she became
one with the keys and chords.

There was no room for "I can't"--
and no excuse not trying.
She finally gave up on me
playing the piano -
That ruler had taken
its toll on my knuckles
and even if you failed at any

attempt to do things as right
as she wanted:
After a hardy reprimanding

Auntie was sure to have my favorite
food and clean bed waiting for me.
I loved her so much that
every now and then
I must write about this amazing
Sister to my mother.

Her name...
Rosella Faye Graham Derrickson Myers ...
And yes, she would say her whole ''title"
if you were to ask her, her name.

Her spirit lives on...

In all the lives that she has touched.

Ika Moana

With a call like a Kuia, 
the wail commenced our ride.  
Gently bathed by mighties
Marama and Matariki, 
our path lay clear and bright.  

Ko Te Tohoraa, the nurturer, 
hikers nestled nicely by her nipple.  
Strolling on with Te Tohoraa, 
on a breathless yet perfect stride.  

Honoured journeys
both near and far, 
are lovingly remembered with aroha.  
Memories remain with such sunny smiles, 
and a staunch salute to 
Te Tohoraa.

______________________
Ika Moana:  Traditional name for a Whale.
Kuia:  an elderly woman, especially a female relative or ancestor.
Marama:  Clear, light, moon.
Matariki:  Matariki is the Maori name for the cluster of stars also known as the Pleiades
Te Tohoraa:  The Whale.  Also, the name affectionately given to a 1998 Toyota Dyna - campervan that I recently had the utmost pleasure of driving (and holidaying) for 1300km.  Hence this tribute! 
Aroha:  Love

SONG TO MOON

SONG TO MOON

Moon ! Light of Shadows 
    Luminosity of strengthening black bows
       tears of trite nights
                            and blundering blights 
tears of a trillion thorny flights !

Moon ! Mother of Souls
of wayward wonderings, Rise ! 
        release us from festering fears,
             ancient grids
                   of obsession, greed, forgetfulness 

Moon of my navel, my breasts
my convoluted gut
    embellish our bodies to offer our Selves
          
Moon of phobias, of parodies, of paradises !
       Dissolve our self created shackles
our cemented barricades, steely borders

Receive Earth’s germinal gems
  germinating geraniums
     garland grains as you shine on gateways 

Let us flow freely frankly
Flow and fly where wild freesias prevail
       let us ride on dazzling rafts airborne 
          dripping dripping gurgling giggling 
             Let us dwell inside you, above you
                in God’s warming womb
to fall in a splintering of shadows on
wet grass embracing !

Moon ! Moon Grandmother, Moon Mother
Moon Sister, Moon Nurturer, Moon Wisdomkeeper
               Absorb us into your magnificence 
                      You are Here in my Song ! 

So hold us dear in our slumbering 
Sojourns…

Premium Member Gone

My grief riddled mind is racing
my heart is beating fast
and my breaths are shallow
as I wake up from a troubled dream

And I remember that my son is gone

I can't even remember exactly what
was troubling about the dream,
but reality hits the moment that
I fully wake up

My son is gone

I suspect this will happen daily
until it really sinks in
that I have lost 1/4 of my
immediate family

Because my son is gone

The nurturer in me seeks
out my husband to see how he is
handling the new day and we
realize that neither slept well

Because our son is gone

Facing a hard day with little sleep
is something we are used to now, 
almost a week since they pronounced
the death of our youngest son

Our sweet son is gone

Losing a child is a kind of pain
that you just can't explain
and I pray that most of my friends
and family don't have to face 

A son being gone

I keep telling myself to put one foot
in front of the other and accompish 
what must be done to get ready
for the funeral

How can my son be gone?

How is this real?  
Questioning reality does not help.
so I try to move on but I wonder
how my world will keep moving
 
After my son is gone
