Premium Member Wrapped Up

Christmas spirit was neatly wrapped up 
Tied with a bow and put upon a shelf
Encompassed was kindness, giving, goodwill and cheer
Organized in a package held hostage this year

Let Christmas pass, speed on by
Let it be gone in a blink of the eye
Do not bring out kindness, nor give any gifts
Goodwill only brings closeness, then there will be cheer

Christmas spirit is packed away for now  
Let's don't deal with that equivalent foolishness this Christmas
Do not let a Christmas carol sound out
Nor stores decorations flout

Let all children go on to school
They need to stick to the grind
How can they learn if they have toys on their minds? 

They need to do their homework
Don't forget all their chores 
It is okay if they sometimes are bored

Life without the Christmas Spirit 
Is fine for 11 months
So let that package stay upon the shelf
Don't start embrasing love and such 

Hark! The Herald Angels Sing
Please turn it off
Sleighbells Ring do not sing
Do not listen to them this year

Do not tell the Christmas story
How God _Gave_ His only Son
Nor how His Son freely came
Being born in Bethlehem

Once again let me say
Depression works its way
How many people suffer
In this way!!

I know a little out there, but so many people suffer from depression at Christmas. Look it up so you can know the signs to look for. It could be helped with something as little as some sunlight for some people who suffer from SAD.


Wistful Accursed Penniless Fate God Dime Mitt

Wistful Accursed Penniless Fate...God Dime Mitt!
(neither defamation, nor blasphemy meant, sans Title)

Despite ingestion of
     anti anxiety medications
     ferocious hellish onslaught
     pummels me aback
finds resurgence of ghostly
     white implacable terror
inducing panic attack
cogs and wheels

of psyche frenetically
spinning alas and alack
swallowed in the un
avoid doubleheader maw
whale size amberjack
suctioned alive as dead ringer
     human master bait
     (feebly prate who GOD,

     somebody please HELP)
     doomed to die, "eye"
     doth entirely engulf me
     far worse than being slammed
     by malevolent forces
     loosed from hurricane
     classed as Category 5
on Saffir-Simpson Scale

     adrip with horrible gastric,
caustic, and acidic repulsive
bile alcoholic akin to applejack
and more rancid
than Q8 oily arrack
once again oft repeated phrase
     Death be not Proud, viz
     reincarnation of Moby Dick

     (gone terribly awry)
on the attack after ME
with no way back
to house at Pooh Corner
     condemned to spin
willfully intestate,
while steeped in utter black
but....methinks

perhaps fetid blowback
equivalent to volcanic belch, would
     spit out "burnt offerings"
     formerly Matthew Scott Harris,
     whose steaming hot pipe dream
(Ahab) in mind can not
even get "LIVE" feedback,
and definite never

my Stradivarius fiddleback
(I rue...all the money
    momma's and pappa's...
scrimped and saved 
     without giving
this sole sun any flack)...
ha...sardonic humor,
and wistful pointless flashback

equally frivolous hanker
ring for greenback,
legal tender, quid
     pro quo, et cetera,
NOW demise welcomed
     forever free from penury
small potatoes this measly mortal
even at dirt poor cheap

     expense courtesy
     Euthanasia travel agency
manned by HiJack,
where captain! My captain!

     Humungous humpback
clearly presented danger field,
     and only costs this one life
     as lil bitty chewy Whitman snack!

End of Age

A vision, a poltergeist, an aspect of the human psyche
I see stars and galaxies and men in tall hats
they creep and crawl on their hands and feet, contorted, yet controlled
spindly limbs and salivating snarl, dead face and my mothers eyes
they rip the blood from my weakling veins, the love from my heart
It's crazy how their hands turn to shackles, words the noose around my neck
men in tall hats with crooked-toothed smiles, come sit for a while
I pour them some arsenic tea, the china is fragile but my will is strong
spoon feed them hatred, they drink disdain, fry the brain
with salted face, tall hats drop, a specter they are no more
light slices and I awake once again
see you tonight

Premium Member Yellow Bikini She Wears

Bikini clad babe
Tanned for the day
She invites me home
Maybe, nightly stay
 
Her home we reach
She showers, i wait
Drinks are poured
It feels like a date
 
The heat persists
Yellow bikini she wears
Once again
In x-ray stare
 
Our talks continue
Like the previous day
But more of each other
More open say
 
More drinks are drunk
As the evening longs
That feeling hovers
This is where i belong
 
The music plays
As i take her hand
This bikini clad babe
Beside me stands
 
Torso to torso
Face to face
Our eyes meet
Then our lips grace
 
Kisses like roses
Touched by the breeze
Contact so light
Increasing of tease
 
Our hearts are releasing
Signals the same
Passion of flow
In wanting tame
 
Her body i kiss
As my teeth undress
Release of her clad
Revealing her naked finesse
 
Muscled and proud
She strides as i stand
Bikini clad babe
And her beach found man
 
Like a piston and liner
To her place off rest
Consumed in hunger
Sensuous zest
 
Our bodies discover
The joys of a bond
This is more than love
It's two hearts in respond
 
Our heavens delight
As our bodies glow
Rhythm's from rapid
To caress of slow
 
Sensations saved
In our loving minds
To love each again
In future times

Premium Member Anxiety Once Again You Appear

What insidious appearance have you once again made, when I thought I had sent you to the bottom of Hades’ world?

But I see you’ve resurfaced, this time as a ghost occupying the mind’s house, as you attempt to haunt me and make me feel the horror through those thoughts of illusionary reality.

You have reacquainted me with your world, making my world one of desperation, leaving me searching for my sanity to find.

I fail to understand your presence, and attempt to shake the foundation of your non-existent soul, but you overcome my wishes, and leave me in a state of utter despair, as I look to sever the thought bonds that you’ve created.

You are the evil in my world, the insanity of my existence, as you force me to my knees.

And while I attempt and hope to conquer and overcome, it is clear that your goal is my misery, as you create chaos within my soul.

So be it….present to me what you will….attempt to trick me and hold me in your grasp….manipulate my mind and thoughts….make me feel the fear….

But again, this time, it will only be short lived….for I will once again….calmly….but surely….send you away from my mind’s eye, and have you disappear into the depths of your created hell.


Insomnia

As I lie awake once again
In the wee morning hours
I am mesmerized by soft rhythms of the sleep filled breaths beside me.
My mind scurries about from thought to thought, not lingering to long on anything in particular, refusing to settle into its dreamland home. 

I glance at the glow of the numbers that slowly count the moments of this seemingly endless night. I can feel the opportunity for a restful night sleep slipping through my grasp as each second passes.

I listen to the sounds of the night. The crickets chirping their nightly song. I hear the hoot of an owl in the distance, and once again my train of thought switches tracks to continue on our nightly journey.

I try to make out the shapes within the darkness. The shadows seem to dance about the room. And After what feels like hours, I glance back at the glowing numbers upon the clock face to see how much time has elapsed. 

Time slows down at night I think. It tends to creep by during a sleepless night, but yet time flies when your having fun. 

The night skies begin to lighten as dawn approaches. Another long night is through. The moon finalizes its nightly run and the sun prepares for its rising, celebrating the start of another new day.

E E D and Her Garden

E.E.D. AND H3R GARD3N

With air so cold 
you kept me warm
so, mill of hooks-
butteries so drunk
cocoons whose kissing
stings unbearably

 what a turn//
what a turn\\

In the skies so blue
(that nobody could ever
know)  
  in the fetid
wombs of vacuum black air
so lost under granted 
under pines in summer

wouldn't you know it
she couldn't show it

i would give everything
i own
i would give all of my 
art and heart

just to have you 
just to touch you
once again  --and though
she tried to love
the one //wouldn't you
know it  she wouldn't 
show it.  

And we go through life
and i feel she left
a diary in a long-ago
garden and wouldn't you
know it ; she told of it
and so sweet things
she wrote of...love.

Ahalya

AHALYA 

She is thirty  and two
Her face has lost it’s soft
She is a professor in her subject  and
Her second nest is her college
She is a married woman  -Her
Past had a pleasing romance
She loved  a man for love  and
It grew as night in a moon
Bad rituals pushed her in a hell
In the name of marriage with an impotent
She lived with tears and pains and
Spent her days  in the burning fire of lust
He became a patient  to his death
Ptiy  Ahalya whispering for her fate 
Her hero comes again to take her
Out of emotions she gave her to his hands
It spreads to the ears of  her impotent owner
He cursed and sued against her in the court
He argued there she is immoral  and
She is having affairs with many
Poor  Ahalya  denied not in the court 
Court separated her from His life
Ahalya  isthe poor victim living with her tears
Her hero once again vanishes as air from her life
Ahalyas are not one  or two here
They are more and more in this world 
Their tears are making seas and oceans
Not to think they are always  calm and quite
Before their ANGER  realize your sins

The Dreams We Chase

The dreams we chase seem so close

Yet we catch up to nothing but a ghost

What's going on in my life really isn't clear

How much more will we lose is all that we fear

Our Faith and courage are now lost

To get them back we'd pay any cost

Not the person that anyone else ever really knew

Just wish we could make one dream come true

Some times wondering why we even try

Maybe all courage isn't lost  we still haven't said, " Good Bye "

These feelings to no one could we explain

They'd lock us up call us crazy and insane

So once again we just sit back wonder

In this life who's spell are we really under!

Slowly Moving On Love

I am going very slow
 Feelings I don't want to show
Keeping them inside until
Little by little they spill
Out of my heart into yours
I want to be on love shores
Where big waves don't drown and hit
Me with a disturbing fit
Leaving me frightened and so scared
My heart doesn't belong anywhere
Or to anyone as you
Left me alone and so blue
Now I'm careful when I see
Sweet eyes looking back at me
My approach is very shy
The only tears I want to cry
Are joyful ones and not sad
I just want to feel glad
Not pushed to the brink of doubt
Once again with no way out
But there's something in your eyes
I can truly recognize
You've been burned by someone too
Both our hearts know what to do
As we softly say hello
Starting to feel a glow
Inside we have never felt
Past memories begin to melt
Fading from our brains as we
Feel light and very free
Keeping hope alive and new
This love will be fun not cruel
