Caucasian Jesus (Angel of Sadness)

On a mission to find and crucify this character
This savior, your white Jesus
Crusades tease my anger
Especially if the picture they paint
Is of someone it truly ain’t
Searching for my savior, your saint
Jealous that photo doesn’t please us
On a mission to find and crucify 
This image portrayed as white Jesus
Whether it’s good times or dark trials 
I bow my head and pray to this image of arched smiles
To this cross I was too, like you and you, dedicated
So many times I summoned your blessings yet you hesitated
The preacher always said
Only one hovers above my head
Snap shots of my flesh, never knew peace in this casket
Satan, my commonly know bastard
As an outcast, a lonely loser, I’m orientated
As a carefree orphan/foster child, I was educated
Forehead being massaged in olive oil
Faith suddenly falling after these morals 
In this church as one they pray
A sinner’s kiss, when it hurts, we fail to ask for another day
Entrepreneurs, now we outcast is crooked, but major
Writers imprint with real names of plagiary  
As government seeds we’re slayed together
As enemies and old friends
We schemed and played in weather
Scenes from my grave
Kissing toes, means goodbye, to them heavenly gates I wave
If I’mma make it to hell
No further questions, only tears stop me from being cremated
Fire and tropical storms, everything the sea hated 
Walk these oceans to calm these skies
He who looks from above teases my lies
Only as a mortal, matter seizes the eye

POETICS in PROGRESS


a discourse     we don
  ornamted speech
    eloquent oratory aloud
seminal ideas
in pillars of poetics

a dialogue     delivered
     feelings aroused
         from slumber
by symmetries of sequences
soliloquised

persuasion     intertwined in poesy
       perceptions personified
       arrayed&adorned
       in audible orations
       of
          experimental sound&
                                         sense
freewheeling
       sensable
          becoming sententious
           loose language codified
yet
   open ended
                   figures of speech
                   of arrested moments
denotative&
           syntactical of
            preliterate tradition
solo
    but
        not self conscious
or
     self orientated

words freed
             to float  &   hover&
              find a home
a random place        to rest
a refuge       for letter
                       sound-images
to
   stimulate a reply

Bermuda Daydreams

When she crossed her legs,
an electric silk slipped over the jewel-studded sides
of a blushing chameleon.
Sand clung to her thighs,
a tapestry of flaxen crumbs on amber skin.

Thigh orientated beguilements
spread their plush landscapes.
Her shoulders were disrespectful –
I liked that. The massed pipes and drums
of her braided hair marched out of sight -
muted instruments of mutual destruction.

I imagined an emerald turtle born from a native legend
lived in her watchful heart.
I was alone for a thousand years
drinking her inward.

I wanted to ask her
but what?
I guessed that whatever her answer,
there would be no sign of small pink wings
and cutesy fairy smiles.
Besides it was then she looked my way
with that cool ‘-you’ stare.

When I got back alone to the hotel,
not having said a word to her,
I looked at my reflected sun-slapped face,
it was as unstable as dry sand,

yet the syllabary of her thighs
had so much more to say
as my face fell apart onto the wet floor-tiles.

Gemini

With a fondness of life,
jest and pleasure
You’re a lover 
of unmeasurable attention as ever
In the third sign of the zodiac
known for storytellers
Of elements Fire and Air,
masculine considered
Diurnal or day orientated,
Physically or mentally related
Primarily focusing
on spirituality and activity
Being adaptable, eloquent,
versatile and lively
Youthful, witty, logical,
spontaneous, communicative;
All thes bing positive traits
are held back by the negative
For you’re changeable, inconsisatent,
cunning, nervous and inquisitive
Restless, superficial,tense
and gossip – well you’re talkative
You hate to be stuck in a rut,
or being left alone
Love novelty, variety,
anything unusual or unknown
Working multiple projects at a time
you’re addicted
Disliking mental action, conventional learning,m
being restricted
Gemini’s inclined to direct energies
into the world around them
Anatomy – rules arms, shoulders,
lungs and nervous system
A strive to learn persevearance
and culture depth
Subjects are lovers of language,
poets, bard, or wordsmiths

MOVE ON

My loves we must move on, forward through all the thorns. 
Lets work on us, and become strong, and reach for the long dreams we have. 
Yes we can, reach for the stars, and live in happiness and bliss forever. 
Be clever like a lever, with all your dream in hand, run forward with the speed of a warrior that has a plan.
We can do this by staying on track, being goal orientated, and having a plan. 
Loves, don’t get lost, stay focused, and look for your path, it will be light and gold, and stand out in your mind. 
Try and try again, if you fall off the plan, you are a wonderful creation, and all your dreams can be made just by you following a clear plan. 
Moderation, is a good plan, only do what you can, then go back and work on it again and again, until you know it’s the best you can. 
Don’t drink or smoke or anything else that might make you choke. 
Choose something other than a vice that will cost you your life. 
Loves I will pray for you, sending you warm thoughts and love on your path throughout this life. 
May God be with us today and all through our life.

For unknown tours call 1-800-tur-ista

I signed up for a tour not knowing it even existed.
The grand canyon of the inner working mind.
On it we visited the train of thought, the big divide and dilapidated amusing parks.
Even though the skies were open, it lacked the coolness of a planetarium.

My tour-guide's name is la-la-la Lloyd.
And was told to flow and follow with him closely.
But dealing with distant distractions kept me deviating.
Tried using divination to get back on the path.
Yet there was no signal or reception of intuition.
Don't mind my wandering, as I will eventually come back to the handed t-ask.
As all logical functions are lacking in this fuzzy world of Quantum Reality.

Finally, a local spirit animal orientated me to a last known marker.
Making me rendez-vous with your rounded-view.
Luckily made it in time for the last spectacle.

After picking some contraband souvenirs.
Got me wondering what percent should I be tipping?
For this all knowing tour-guide that provided me this a-maz-i-ng trip.

The Truth About the World

I’ve been looking at a map of the world...
upside down.
The Mercator version just doesn’t sit right with me.
Old Chinese maps once were oriented
East to North.

Many ancients envisioned
North to be South.
When I look at the map upside down
it all makes sense.

The East now looks a lot like
an obese dragon throwing up
clumps of green fur-balls.

A Godzilla-like Britain,
now dangles into the Antarctic
Its nether regions emasculated
by the slow nibble
of immigrant crustaceans.

Europe and Russia as always, seem to be
carpet bombing the sky.
Africa, well Africa is still Africa,
only now it looks like a turd
in the process of being purged.

Australia on the other hand
looks like the United States,
a place where kangaroos
bounce in a slomo Texan rodeo.
Florida’s limp dick situation
is now flagrantly erect.

Any piddling little country
can now be orientated
at the middlemost point of the globe.
However, the Great State of Ohio
looms large
and still remains deeply significant.
   
The rest of the world
radiates away from California
as Walt Disney always intended.

It’s a secret only known to NASA
but astronauts who circle the globe,
on return,
have to be reeducated,
or forever struggle
to keep walking upon the ceiling.

Premium Member The Origin of the Battle of the Sexes

Matriarchy ruled *****sapiens for many a generation.
Patriarchy ruled neanderthal clans within neanderthal civilizations.
*****sapien clans were all led by women shaman.
The shaman and her clans women were all provided for by the men.
Both sexes of both species were involved with hunting and gathering.
The more a *****sapien male provided, the better his chances of getting a women.
Neanderthals however were male orientated.
The stronger neanderthal male took whatever women he wanted and mated.
Perhaps our encounter with the neanderthals is when our battle of the sexes did begin.
When asked of a male *****sapien
(who also happened to have a neanderthal male as his best friend)
why he killed the clans' most beloved shaman,
he responded in typical neanderthal fashion,
"What can I say? She just wouldn't listen,"
and then hence, Our Battle of The Sexes did begin.
