Premium Member Nature In Her Glory

The meadow's flowers early now do wake
Not May but April's time for tulip's bloom
Nature in her glory, a deep bow takes

Lilacs' fragrance waft out toward azure lakes
Orange daffodils spread out in vale and spume
The meadow's flowers early now do wake

Deep-red roses perk up on vines and stakes
Bright peonies burst forth in scents perfumed
Nature in her glory, a deep bow takes

Lilies of the valley, dainty teacups make
Purple irises soar upward, earth's plumes
The meadow's flowers early now do wake

Soft winds do rolling grasses tender shake
Dark clouds of rain o'er green landscapes loom
Nature in her glory, a deep bow takes

Rich panoply of colors in costume
Spring's essence tastes as sweet as honey cake
The meadow's flowers early now do wake
Nature in her glory, a deep bow takes

When Flowers Dream

On Earth's bare bosom, do flowers dream?
A panoply of beauty flitting from flower to flower, 
with bees reeling drunk in their ecstasy.
As a flock of vivid white crepes stroll an apricot sky, 
chirps of restless cuckoos chuckle in  chorus. 
In the goodness of this conjured grandeur
enchanted in splendour of their pristine smiles,
do flowers dream, staring up in awe at the sky?
In melody of marigolds, and hedges of honeysuckles, 
a sweetheart waits for it's favourite butterfly to return,
wirh fragile wings fanning frills of pink gladiolous.
Perhaps that's when flowers dream.
A Lily of the Valley veiled in heavenly dusk 
with purple pansies, and bewitching buttercups,  
vanilla orchids in some caramel mellow scent,
satin glossy leaves, showing  hyacinths translucent. 
Among thousand vignettes of golden glowing topaz 
dreams of flowers float, their petals become rain, 
only to be pricked  in sharp thorns.
a painful truth behind those fairy tales in prose.
specks of red blood adorn their rainbow robes.
Forget me Nots giggling, He loves you Not!
In mystery of allure, dreams are lost.

Ideally yours truly prefers 
a she/her who never got prosecuted for a felon, 
yet who most deaf fin knit lee  
possesses sound blinding killer instincts
think miracle worker Anne Sullivan
signifying rendering phenomenal success 
with one female named re: amazing Helen
exhibiting discerning admirable qualities
constituting intelligent witty male
despite his/him sports haunch size of a melon. 

I gently beckon inspiration
for dalliance with mother tongue
English Language, each
singular lettered manifestation
familiar to yours truly symbolized
by panoply, sans twenty six letters,

whereby this patient wordsmith
luxuriates, when writer's block
yields sudden gush,
nee burst of creativity
dissolving impenetrable wall

discourages literary ambitions
dashed exerted forcefulness
'pon cerebral terra incognita
counterproductive grip locks
figurative drawbridge begetting
utmost frustration allowing egress

and ingress constituting obstructed surge
temporarily disabling free and clear
transmission between damned fount
barricading abundant bajillion ideas
silent at loggerheads clangor and din
analogous between unswerving enemies

prepared to fight till the death,
exhausting mental energy expended
attempting armistice with futile results,
hence quixotic oft repeated
time tested metaphor
i.e. deliberate pressure foisted

upon seat of aging cerebral matter
inadvertently coloring fist sized organ
at least fifty shades of gray,
versus unexpurgated brainstorming
linkedin with unfettered restraint
breeds favorable prodigious ideas

jotted/ typed stream of consciousness fashion
modus operandi favorable to engender
receptive access, asper (gas) excellent see
i.e. entrance untrammeled leeway
with minimal clash of opposing
titanic invisible entities
thus, aye abandon battering ram

to experience positive outcome
giving good n plenti profuse flood
unstoppable geyser spewing
plethora of appealing material
to arrange into cogent affinity, 
energy, magnanimity and synchronicity!

Reverie

Alas, I lie, awakened mind 
Drifting into God-forsaken 
time. 
Unconsciously unaware 
A war rages under there.  

Perspicacious subconscious me
I beseech thee, listen now, 
hear my plea. 
Blood-drunken sword lay at 
thine side. 
Allow me rest, dear captain, 
just one night
A thousand strong is our 
enemies' might
But skirmish, must we, through 
twilight? 

Perspicacious subconscious me
Understand you not the 
insanity?
Demons defeated, victory 
blood-bought,
But at steeper price? I pray 
thee, give thought!

Perspicacious subconscious me
Must Ego die for victory?
And what of, after, his brother 
and friend?
Must I then, too, let go of him?
Leave me, will you, with only 
insatiable drive
And let it be that beast Id alone 
will rise?

Perspicacious subconscious me
Battle-born and bred, at the 
ready. 
In the arms of Morpheus let me 
be
As you don cloth, no longer 
panoply. 

Perspicacious subconscious me
Let me rest and truly sleep
For I have a reverie to 
sublimely dream. 
Yea, to rest and let you, my 
mind, be at peace.

Premium Member Jesus Revisited

Jesus Revisited

He was born out of wedlock and some say his father
was God the Divine I am not sure of that immaculate
projection but genes were involved and I believe that
some assisted fertilization may have started his journey

Adultery would be if not blasphemous too judgemental
what is a piece of paper when progeny was needed to
look after his parents no social security system in those days
when persecution and genocide was on the agenda

He was not so keen on drugs other than wine made from water
a hippie with flowers in heart hair mind and beautiful soul
but nevertheless became a free loving roamer a drifter
poet of the oral tradition full of wisdom and compassion

Does it matter whether Magdalene Mary happened to
become his lover when tables were turned at the temple
how the tides parted to walk on the sea bed or whether
the salt of too many tears of depression floated the message

He was a Middle Eastern guy most probably coloured in skin
with all chakras involved from the mix of a rainbow of promise
he counselled and healed with suggestion charisma almost
hypnotic powers used for the purpose of psychic proportions

He might have sported tattoos depicting a snake or a lion
some contact address emergency number engraved on his
forehead a belly ring maybe of a cross to be cast to foreshadow
his inner and outer appearance scarred healing healed

Much like him I am horrified by wars murder hypocrisy crusading terror
napalm orange agents Hiroshima Holocaust and the senseless
slaughter of groups others Peoples and ideas peace humankind
I passionately care for his message and his proposal his resilience

To stand up for injustice for freedom from evil and freedom of
passive resistance rebellion and faith and beliefs for what matters

He would have been a big pal with the Buddha spiritual leaders of 
another age time place contingency context hegemony plight
would maybe not mind a panoply of Hindu Gods and Godesses
and have the Koran next to his straw mattress fire and all

I care for Jesus and he cares for me

Absolute Or Concrete

Blue, Bluer, Bluest…what’s blue to me? 
Far that seems too far; the sky.
Depth that seems too deep; the sea…
Ooh, sorry…it’s only the reflection of the sky on water.
Check on after sunlight…I did; the moon takes its turn;
Darkest of blue of the night casting romance in the air!
How same to my fellow human friend? I wonder.
What? Do my animal friends see blue?
Poor color vision to super color vision…electromagnetic spectrum! 
I’ll better leave this to my scientist friends to ponder upon.
Just imagine the world without blue colors…
Oh!...No conflict of conscience….no blue days, please.
Now blue waves, as I doze in a white lap, how you gently rock me.
Romantic ideas flashes in my inner mind...
Well blue eyes, don’t you think I’m right?
Lucky you, lovers drown peering into your magnificence!
Oh!...My eyes try to fathom the sharp teeth beneath the simmering 
brine ready to snatch me away from my sanctuary.
Capricious nature, how you entice me with your panoply of blues;
absolute or concrete….I’m just captured!

Yuletide Pageant Merry Go Round First Time

Written ~ December 
two thousand seventeen
in case ye dear reader possess 
an eye extremely keen
nonetheless just by happenstance 
courtesy this human bean  
counter, who also happens 
tubby garden variety alien. 

Panoply of mystical elements of holly day style 
breathe prez sense frostily exhaled aired
per millennia athwart 
(this terrestrial spaceship planet Earth)
two plus seventeen carousel rides resonated
veritable pantheon of pagan rituals 
and quirky superstitions lit 
(akin to a lit Christmas tree) 

starry eyed imagination
as catalyst viz *****Sapiens 
furrowed stern brow of forehead 
aft stemmed whilst Santa oft puzzling 
(allocating suitable gifts) 
inducing him to tug thought generating beard
pondering, whence agents provocateurs 
receive just desserts

fueled hodge podge, mish mashed, helter skelter 
eclectic December twenty fifth 
encompassing tens of thousands previous generations
bred despacito fixtures via paganism, 
Manichaeism, Jainism, et cetera
ancient brutish credos, ethos, faiths 
brewed nebulous concoction
within mindset of early mankind 

loose confection, confederation, conglomeration
indiscriminately torquing, vetting, whetting 
disparate constituent beliefs
contagion wrought spirit paradigm 
inculcating oral tradition Madonna and child 
occupying high chair
whereat superstitions birthed patchwork 
comprising divergent ensemble heralding

The Colorful Fall

The trees are in their best attire
A panoply of reds, yellows and greens
The boughs are wearing leaves of fire
That with strokes thus prunes and preens

The zephyr that moves like a ballerina

The wind desperate for attention
Cries and howls and shakes the trees
The leaves first resist in contention 
Only to succumb to a breeze

And make a colorful arena

The carpet of leaves augustly unrolled 
Beckons and becharms with awesome glow
The trodden leaves rustle in the cold 
Then of a sudden does the wind blow

And plays the nature’s ocarina 

So many jewel colors swell and bold
Certainly sweep you off your feet
The trees invested in reddish gold
The soul imbued with a golden beat

Autumn is the seasons’ czarina
