Premium Member Prisoner of Poetry

When my muse ruled 
my conscience's compass,
waterfalls of rhyming rivers
revealed unspoken secrets -
long forgotten in my heart.
Exposing vulnerable verses
from vaults where vines
had wrapped my tongue
into subdued silence.

In the Injustices of 
judicial juxtaposition,
speech spoke in a 
paradoxical oxymoron -
'deafening silence'

Pouring in drops of crimson,
I became a convicted cliché,
taken hostage in a
Machiavellian marketplace,
where I felt illiterate - harassed,
by insidious guards and
anapestic gangsters. 

In the personification
of confinement,
where word weavers
are poetically unapologetic,
virtual villains ventured
to plagiarize my vocabulary.
An enjambment of envious
eyes attempted to burn
my anthology of alliterations,
so I buried each chapter
in a communal garden,
under a galaxy of ghazals,
hoping pantoum petals,
would bloom in scarlet
stanzas with sophisticated
syllables of rhythmic refrains. 

Agitated by
artificial assonance, 
my artistry is an 
analogy of angst,
where cathartic couplets
of consistent consonance
care not for iambic ideologies.

My elusive elegy is the
legacy of my resistance,
as in my melancholy,
I'll forever be a
misunderstood metaphor.
Silencing intrusive ink,
to prevent another massacre.
With no concern for applause,
I've removed the 
garlands of sakura chains.
For I'm no longer a 
prisoner of poetry,
but my muse's musk

still remains....

Premium Member Therapeutic Democracy

Democracy is what we do
and breathe together
to empower ourselves.

Some would say the same of prayer
and holy communion
and secular communication
and healthy relationships.

Democracy seems like an empowering experience
of equality and interdependence
before it became an anti-royalist political philosophy.

Which may serve as a humbling reminder
that great abstract theories
so left-brain universally fascinating
derive from whole mindbody experience
of individual egos,
healthy or other-unwise.

If no ego-experience,
then no ecosystemic consciousness
of democracy
or autocracy
or kleptocracy
or plutocracy
or oligarchy
or capitalocracy
or theocracy
or patriarchy
or even warm accompanying matriarchy.

Multiculturing democracy,
a hybrid of egalitarian aspirations
and interdependent respirations,
requires organized
stable
win/win ego/theo-logical communication,
health wealthy ecological relationships.

Disorganized communication
is an oxymoron,
like enriching divestment
and disturbing attachment
and democratic capitalism
and resilient win/lose compassion.

Democracy is what we win/win breathe
do
develop together
to empower egohealth identities
and wealthy ecosystems.

Premium Member I'm an Oxymoron

I think I am an oxymoron
quite different but the same.
Understanding less is more 
Subdued, yet can’t be tamed.

I’ll split in two while being whole
ditzy and still brainy.
Make many plans without a goal
be sad while being zany,

Have champagne taste with beery purse
find ugly very pretty.
Feel really blessed that I’m so cursed
quite stupid when I’m witty.

You see, there’s more than one of me
sometimes I’m up when down.
Politely rude when wrong but right
Show then a smiling frown.

Clearly confused, I know I am
more forward than behind.
Get close to you while staying free
be stingy when I’m kind.

Loud silence lets me contemplate
and dream when I’m awake.
To keep in front, I must backdate
my words, just give or take.

Premium Member Unopposed Oxymoron

Unopposed Oxymoron

This poem is light as a heavy contradicting complement
and rhymes with no correspondence of sound sharp at
the cutting horizon’s edge of melting confusing fission

Serious like a foolish jester and in trivial necessity it wants 
to be chimed in disagreement discordant harmony figure
of speech silent shapeless tallies and out into central periphery

Traditional post-modern as an anchor less mooring unbound
a planar linear Oxo cube for poetry soups soaps speechless
rhetoric it says nothing’s everything all for refutation and proof

Cut as a half witted razor blade dull as laser bred dull diamond
the oxymoron in proximal distance joins divisions idiotic
intelligence bland precision in amorphous diffused clarity

I am nothing but and everything as I know to know nothing
where healthy insanity and clear normal madness when 
condensed reflection and prismatic diffusion meets parting

My initial final backfiring telos in idle lazy effort’s endeavour in 
rhyme and in lightness dissonant un-melodic featherless burden
is that being at different places in different times in the same
space and same moment is not an oxymoron but debatable truth

Written on 27th August in Johannesburg dateless timeless 
and nowhere with a blank mind and mindful disregard

Premium Member More Than One Kind of Crazy

Occasionally we should expose the wackier lobe of the brain
in order to better appreciate the more sensible side of the mind.
     ~THIS is one of those times...

I capriole between my arabesques
fugaciously spasmodic in fluxes and leaps
indifferent to their misanthropic mocking
and cheeky syncopated schisms

BUT LET THEM SCOFF!

I derogate their arrogance
in silent smirking repudiation 
for they know not of the decoctions
spating rapidly through my veins, 
nor of the massive assemblage
of my miscelany grey and white matter.

The mordant humor of this absurdity
is that I am irrationally rational...
psychotically speaking; 
I am dripping with percipience
sagaciously intelligent beyond the measure
of those cretins who kvetch, pule, and postulate
that I am strabismic and nonsensical as a loon.

After reading this write of gelastic absurdity,
it's become mereticiously opaque to me
that my discourse is oxymoronic, OR
I am a dimwitted addlepate.

There is more than one kind of crazy!
                                           *********************

A translated version of the above nonsense,
so now Jan doesn't think she's hopelessly lost.

I dance as if I were a ballerina,
a total klutz, but I don't care 
if they laugh at me. 

LET THEM MAKE FUN!

I don't care if they smirk at me because
they don't know what I feel or think.
The funny part of my silliness is that 
I'm really rational, pretending not to be.
I'm really smarter than I look or act
so let those idiots say that I'm
as crazy as a loon.

Now that I've read these words,
it's clear to me that nothing I've
written is clear. Soooo....
I'm either clever at writing an oxymoron
OR I'm crazy.

An Oxymoron

Sweet and salty
Deliciously complex
Nice, but naughty
Stripes with specks

Exalted face down
There but gone
A hopeful frown
An oxymoron 

Let's be friends
At first I think
Giggles and grins
Too soon, you stink

True colors, vibrant
Rich and bold
Unpleasant. strident
Clashing hues roll

The opposite side
Of me, in action
The paint has dried
A blunt reaction

My pillow, a cloud
Peaceful dreams
Beneath a shroud 
Blood curdling screams

The "butterfly"
A white girl raps
My horse and I
Saddle and chaps

Walk for the cause
Chiseled body
Gluttonous flaws
Eating naughty

These changes happened
Within the hour
My body strapped in
I have no power

Premium Member Oxymoron Counterpoint

.               Near miss  Hit the shoulder
            The know all  Knows enough to know better
            Well stacked  Last in, first out
            Awfully good  Terribly impressive
            Original copy  authentic counterfeits
           Wise old fools  Smarties in clown shoes
            Virtual reality  Wearing fancy glasses
           Silent scream  Parenting in public
          Almost exactly  Near enough, thereabouts
         Some Tax relief  A very short-lived miracle
         Business ethics  Hidden in the fine print
         It’s Bittersweet   what a lemons dream of
         Alone together   The perfect blind date
         Exact estimate   Precisely give or take
         Foolish wisdom  Advice everyone ignores
         An Open secret  Whisper in megaphone
         Glorious defeat  Lost magnificently  
         Working holiday  Emails from the yacht
         Echoing silence  Needs even bigger ears
         Honest disguise  Fooled even the mirror
         Same difference  identical opposites
         Cruel to be kind  You'll thank me tomorrow
         Odd airline food  Altitude without attitude
        Controlled chaos  My filing system
        Negative growth  Shrinking with confidence
        Social distancing  Introverts living the dream
        A definite maybe  Committed to indecision
       Simply so elegant  But no simpler
       AI's is so infallible  A million monkeys proofreading
      Invisible footprints  The smell of shoes
      Beginning finished  Chapter One
      Alone in the crowd  A hit in Social media
     Passive aggression  Weaponized politeness
     Certain uncertainty   Absolutely ..Perhaps
    Borrowed originality  I invented your idea
    Military intelligence   Marching the goose step
   Transparent mystery  Plain as day is night
   Some sweet sorrows  Chocolate after heartbreak
   Remembered future   Tomorrow's nostalgia
   Artificial intelligence   Still can't fold the washing

Sonia Gandhi and a form an ode to an imagism diglossic seminary in nepotism

So, I am hiding Occupied state
Or, else or, learning french occult eBay at
Non nuptial lady , a loner, an ex-positional urge
Inside the total nine after, even after a dirge
Alma mater in Houston, there will be a problem with Poseidon surge

Gone baha'i , a limerick try, optional pagan gods and winds around our flagstaff, IN
Animesh is ricocheting, consulting appendics
nonetheless  painless as free as the appendix did say "Ish........"
Duncan hill and healthy premium is a cliched a trope
Hiatus , a self imposed speed limit where a bird, divine hoopoe
in colors and diva, will be "assimilating" marination tonight, 

(and a fried second paper, oil blessing.)

About:

Sonia  Gandhi is a royal chant there, like the people's princess and she
She is a muse , con clues on (and on) , with communal commuter and mundane be!
Why Al Pacino is a PhD dissertation, not now, not YA incognito !
As ethnic dish discourse will have ties to Gospel in a national crisis
With the Nobel prize, navel cutie and baby bottles and dresser case, cliffhangers!


Rules (unruly)
Once taken you cannot take it back, here they Stan, there they channelize
The "room" in Alexandria, Italic or a "Bambino" try."
Will you be trade relations with the orphan or a parallelism in "Ces't la vie?"
Will you be that oxymoron, to the symphony , flora and fauna
that had an entire Ramadan but never against a fie!

(Case and Code, both switches)

For a widow they say, the loosing atlas!
And for an affidavit , they say whisk() in a canop()  try
And then board as you may find solace in grace (head on again, never hedonism)
did you marinate in between? Or ritual Can I pray today?
Can i try? Can i die? Can i sigh? Can i hi? And most of all
can i Nye?

Premium Member Does privacy exist ????

To me there seems to exist, correct me if I'm wrong,
in a modern society , full of many flaws
A gaping oxymoron!!!! Which takes precedence,
all the spying apparatus or all the privacy laws ??

So many methods, mobile phones, computers, smart meters, 
cameras on the roads many more,  perhaps I'm not aware of
None of us exempted in our homes or driving in our cars
Do those who employ these methods to subjugate our freedoms,
suffer deep seated irrational fears ? Why else would they do it ?
How to find some solace amongst all the crazy bedlam,
escape potential, long lasting, deep emotional scars

Pray to God ,wherever He exists, some say it is above
To fill the  world with compassion, 
change these evil ways, replace them with universal love

It’s as if something had exploded in my brain and the whole world had gone insane, it is that magic that you feel when you know that love is real and all the doubts and fear had gone away and something appealing was here to stay, and it embolden my will to get up and sing.

I couldn’t see it but I could feel it, I couldn’t touch it but I could imagine it and the skies turn blue I know that the oracle will come true, oh if you could feel what I feel, you would know that life is real and the fountain of love isdripping from above.
Oh if I could turn the clock back in time, I would undo the hatred of our ancestor and unite the broken hearts  and compose music about the sun and sea. I would rewrite the new world order and send love to my sisters and brothers and mend the broken bridges, I would stand on the mountain and send messages of love to the weary, and when the sun is going down
I would give thanks for the heart and the crown.

Can you feel the blood running through your vein? feel the warmth that it bring and submit to it will you have travelled a million miles and have made thousands of sacrifice so live that
You were meant to live so separate yourself from the hill, the daily complains around you have drained your mental and spiritual energy and you will never be happy if you stay there
 The universe has so much to share, so come with me and I will tell you what I heart speaks.

Circulate the letters of time and you will find the magic words
 That is perfect for your soul, it is the way it is juxtaposed and the oxymoron that gives you running nose is smiling. It is like the architect of the sea that has come to set the reptiles free, they know where they stand and how live on the land.

Draw back the curtains of time and you will see things that will blow your mind, go back to the negotiation table and don’t leave the room until a good deal is reached, then you can rest your feet. You will have your bathroom break in the same place
And everyone everywhere that is working on whatever deal will follow the same method to mend their heel. And if it’s not complete in one day, you will stay in the same place until a deal is reached that everyone can agree to.
Circulate my words and cleanse your soul, circulate my poems and make the deal whole. Come and join me and you will be happy.
