Premium Member Waking Pygmalion

it started with a smell of iron, trickles of sweat - not galatea's, but the room's. there was a cold hard baseline of nothing for a long time, and then like a final push of the shutters, an overwhelming and chaotic onrush of light; light didn't dawn, it pierced like a dart of dry salt to the back of her eyelids. that word is actually a second word. her first thought wasn't a word at all; the heavy presence of her own head on top of the school, sitting on a neck that never needed to bear it. then a sound, a frantic wet hitch of air. it sounded like someone was gasping right beside her ear - his breath. something warm pressed against her cheek -  not a gust. he was trying to breathe down her mouth like he was inflating a drowning  dog. she tried to tilt her head away, but her muscles were still thick; half-trapped in the grit of the pedestal. when she finally managed to open her eyes, the world was blurry, cluttered with hammers, oil rags, and the gray dust of her former skin, scattered across the floorboards. and there he was! not a god; some random man with dirt under his fingernails, looking at her with all the horrors in the world, because his beautiful, silent toy had just swallowed and blinked.

Premium Member Benign Bliss Burn

As witness consciousness, we hush heart’s blush
Thoughts rested, attention animated
In time stretched calm, placid, peaceful and plush
From mundane existence, insulated
With cravings of lower mind vacated
Treading gently, renouncing pathways stern
We feel presence by love impregnated 
Engulfed in bliss mists, we willingly burn

Humming a melody, as does the thrush 
We play out our ordained role, as fated
Every heartbeat heightens, with love our crush
Each emote now as by truth dictated
Demons of our past, thus decimated 
Benign love friction causes nodes to churn
How long for this moment, soul has waited
Engulfed in bliss mists, we willingly burn

Polarities dance, the mingle and brush
Nodes within are, by spirit rotated
Feeling a sublime elixir onrush
No wonder heart is always elated
Surging joy that cannot be translated 
Magnetism cascades in mind-body urn
Each breath prayerfully celebrated
Engulfed in bliss mists, we willingly burn

Gently thus, by grace initiated
Twice born, we live on, truth of Self discern 
Transformed by light, soul’s illuminated
Engulfed in bliss mists, we willingly burn

Premium Member Scenery

"I felt my lungs inflate with the onrush of scenery—air, mountains, trees, people. I thought, "This is what it is to be happy." Sylvia Plath 


Stroll with me via the alluring woodland scenery!
To marvel at the planet's lovely wild greenery
We can't wait to relish our aesthetic place.
Listen as God builds an opus space.

Akin to woods and streams were humming.
Opine over the poets wonderful dreaming.
We'll wander through sunlight-lit woodland.
weaving wide canals to brighten clay stands.

In the shade of woods, away from sun's beams.
unleashing our views to grasp nature seems.
making a caring haven for the life there.
To shelter its weak wards from danger to bear.

Warm yourself with the glitter leafy vine.
Visitors come for its brilliant shine.
Colors swirl and slide at an agile pace.
Ember flight from a firebase.

Glow briefly, as they fell to their doom
Instead, we're helping Earth bloom.
It looks alike a barren wasteland.
Amid snow and leaf fall, a tree stands.

Join me for treetop fun and above it all.
Watch how well they slept till nature recall.
Let's board for a walk in the spring forest to reap.
The rush of waking Earth's kids from their sleep.

Strolls amid woods, listen to what you feel
We may decode a signal sent by the wind squeal
To entice a forest, we must enter its soul.
We concurred to wander its extol.

Premium Member Harbor of a Sentinel

A tempest of brute force whips the coastline
Where boats and seafarers howl for dire plea; 
Unshaken, I guard with strength to disarm
The lash of tide’s wrath… my tower, a marquee.

Though brazen crests dart like slithering mesh
As Night Keeper, rays glint to face storm’s dare
Protecting tender lives, their hopes on  edge
Upon roughened waves, my lights flash, “Beware!”  

Infusing more ardor till an onrush calms
Heaven’s stars glitter while ships haul the net;
Where from the ridge, my safe harbor appears
On easel of bright air, a task well met!

Where In Tarnation Doth Spam Arise

sam i yam not, 
     nor will this 'lo bot go away
cuz, every coordinate in cyber space allows, 
     enables and provides 
     an opportunity to bray,

and thence get access 
     to each excel lent power full point 
     one among the beguiling bajillion, 
thus this ming boggling concept proffers
 
     (even the generic mom and pop hacker 
     tubby in her/his element field gloating 
     as if they won 
     the Irish Sweepstakes that day

despite neither could claim 
     direct lineage, sans Emerald Eire 
  analogous to Celtic temptress, 
     whose grand geography 

     beckons toward entranceway,
where sensory, levity, 
     and ecstasy punctuate foray
boot that diverges one hundred 

      and eighty degrees asper gateway
onrush of spam enters electronic hatchway
spilling forth like 
     offal horrific bilge interlay

sloshing violently, revoltingly, 
     and nauseatingly, witnessing a jay
bird donning mask (yule hating) 
     beak coming contrivance fashioned keyway. 

force full brainstorm to firewall 
     to place on indefinite layaway
inundation of spam midway
between now and eternity, 

     essentially noway
no more, and if necessary 
     hermetically seal myself 
     stationing a pal in drone willingly overpay!


Premium Member Hub On Wings

City hub on wings
apogee of ultra bright
fire within urban comet
tangerine signpost
to future halcyon spot
amidst buoyant step onrush

Bouncy castle perk
spurs avid market stall pitch
bargain in a jiffy bag
loophole hatched off-curb
brainwave surge from genie flash
to everyone’s benefit

Silver winter tinged
trees and wet overcast skies
never dampen township verve
that heartland zeitgeist
typical of boom and bloom
day or night march on dweller

Sweep off feet vision
endemic to rapid shifts
where marvel woos miracle
in heady cocktail
at the cutting-edge hubbub
point of entry upbeat frame

Streets of the Pen

In the streets of the pen, poems are scattered
Some of the poems I can greet 
Some of the poems I can feed
In the streets of the pen, poems are scattered

Some of the poems I can greet
From the mountain of immortal love
Where flying the happiest white dove
Some of the poems I can greet

From the mountain of immortal love
The poems come like an endless stream of fountain
There all verses feel happy artlessly the poetic brain
From the mountain of immortal love

The poems come like an endless stream of fountain
Where the love and dream live together
Where the heart makes a heaven of care
The poems come like an endless stream of fountain

Where the love and dream live together
There the poetic world paints a peaceful canvas
There, truth implores the righteous law onrush
Where the love and dream live together

There the poetic world paints a peaceful canvas
Where the poems help to teach me truly
Where I want to live spontaneously
There the poetic world paints a peaceful canvas

Where the poems help to teach me truly
In the streets of the pen, poems are scattered
In the thoughtful wisdom, lies are shattered
Where the poems help to teach me truly

In the streets of the pen, poems are scattered
Some of the poems I can greet 
Some of the poems I can feed
In the streets of the pen, poems are scattered
