The Nuclear Option

She rubbed him up the right way,
made him moo like an oboe,
piped him up high like a piccolo.
She was finger food for his body.

Post the passion dance
his heart began to tick like a time-bomb.
His blood tangoed in the dark,
looped the loop like a bi-plane.
Then he went off
in the middle of the night, alone.

Called her in the morning, hands shaking
from after-tremors:
Begged her to do that thing
that she did to him, that move
that made his libido tremolo like a fat lady.

Her voice was cool, distant,
she complained that her bed had collapsed,
that her cat was clinging to the ceiling
and would not come down,
so he could just keep
his 'big bang' to himself.

Later he went nuclear.

Born like a tender infant in nature,
Why do you soon change your nomenclature?
Does stress, like nerves striking the human brain
Craze your equilibrium and cause strain...?

Progress process of an infant proceeds,
Passes each phase fulfilling many needs;
Your growth spurt jumps and leaps abounding hills,
Your change to gusts, gales, and tornado thrills...!

Flute, horn, clarinet, oboe, piccolo,
Dwelling within these, breath of life you blow;
Impulses and cognitions bound, and pound,
Into existential hymns, these resound...!

You nurture the naysay nerve of nature,
Niftily you numb each legislature;
In life's moments of minute mundane gist,
Do you teach me: each gist is its own twist...???

Journey of Doubtful Indulgence

putrid rascal was a real truant
and also a junkie
and a somnambulist too
and wicked gourmet bought a new guillotine

then the rascal walked dizzily 
like a mechanic dancer
around the cinnamon circle
right under the scythe
and underwent a severance

the staggering truth was quite vague

then a postwar prelude under the lurid sky
piccolo semitone
sacrament
orchids
silhouettes on a merry-go-round

the jetty broke up
and a castaway went away
right before dawning
beforethe  stellar equinox
but journey was a humdrum
with nautical nausea
just a medley of flukes

so we hit the road
on the roof of a magic bus
not just figurative
really peculiar
and finally let behind
all the cold sensations

a marble queen visits
with a priest with no faith
and start gentle mutiny

the celestial journey
is over at ten p.m.
and all we got left
is a sobering lethargy

Amibitious Snitchez

Tittle tittle 
make love the middle
love 
Which complicated romances
A fool should be
more wiser to see
not be obvious taking chances

It ain't bout rejection
See all I am reflecting
Is complicated
But it real

What I am suggesting 
In such complications 
Is ah due wash thyme will be
It ain't that complicated
And all you 
Debated is where. 
You stand with him
Or me

Neilsen got ratings
And what we debating
Is one of those
Who are oh succiees
White shelves and bammas
Your tense reminders
Is bout you and mi

Oboe, oh oboe
The piccolo has played
The piano is tuned
The song is fluted
Bytch why can't you behave

Barking and spicing
In your conversation
The secret recipe gave
Can't trust whores
Sorrstrees who
Chore-9h
Trick
Please behave

What that
Is it jelly
I ain't Mackiovelli
The triple crown has past
 Is Preakness playing
We ain't behaving
Gonna give next guy
Sum azz


Premium Member Maestro

“A maestro is like a candle. It consumes itself to light the way for others.”- 
                                                                                ~~  The Poet ~~
  
Conductor of an art form, stands the maestro of the storm. 
Instruments take their place, then the symphony begins. 
Firstly, a tuneful rhapsody of woodwind with violins. 
The sheer spellbinding rhythm builds increasingly strong.
A tinkling as the rain begins, he uses spiccato to bring the tempo along.
The piccolo sends notes scurrying for cover by the continued rain,
And introduces the flutes into the mix once again.
The cadence evolves, with heralding intensity to engage.
Notes follow the beat, to a crescendo of immense rage.
Now, as the kettle drums implode within their skins,
The conductor is in full control, as his baton spins
Music’s fury is reinforced by trombones, entering for the first time.
Cymbals clash, cellos and double basses offer a fortissimo effect, sublime.
The percussion again, joins, as the woodwind slows,
Notes soften, and the flute’s melody gently flows. 
A solo of horns, a transition with the full orchestra, it springs.
In suspense of his melody, the piano takes us to strings. 
Tempo lighter, airier which is juxtaposed with the timpani drums. 
The soft gentle tones, once hurtled by deafening wind, silence comes. 
Audience captivated, orchestra foregone. The maestro lowers his baton.

Premium Member Caution - Fireworks

E-Z Glo Punk, Lightning Flash,
TNT Devices will burst, do crash
Southern Night, Piccolo Petes
       are hard to beat...

I like hand held Sparklers, Tanks
 flashing fountains, Solar Flare
 Six to #20 Gold I have to share,
 no incidence, no burns, thanks...

  Whistles blow, fountains glow,
 pop'n sounds, entire sky all aglow
 I love those colors, high an low
  trails eched onto my retina
  inspired me to let ya know

  Now you close both eyes
in pitch dark, what a surprise
  for you to see, right there
 darkness, absolutely  anywhere
beautiful trails of lights in motion
 
"Always read a label of caution"

The Yule Tide Sights (Sight)

It’s tinsel, ornaments and lights,
The Yule Tide sights all people love:
Bright yellows, reds, and greens and whites;
It’s tinsel, ornaments and lights
We yearn to see December nights -
Delights we all never tire of!
It’s tinsel, ornaments and lights,
The Yule Tide sights all people love.

The Gladdening (Hearing)

As bells go ring-a-ling-a-ling,
And old St. Nick goes, “Ho, ho, ho,”
The people’s hearts are gladdening.
As bells go ring-a-ling-a-ling,
Its “Fa la la,” we hear folks sing.
An elf joins in on piccolo
As bells go ring-a-ling-a-ling
And old St. Nick goes, “Ho, ho, ho!”

     The Mockingbird sings out his misleading best,
  
     in hopes to attract a dupe with a nest,

     where the squatter believes mate’s eggs should belong;

     so mimics and jabbers uncountable songs.


     Catbirds and Thrashers, related critters,

     both grey North Americans sport throats of a twitter.

     These gifted Warblers mock tricky bird tunes,

     deceiving, deluding as feathered dragoons.



     In fairness to balance the Tweeters’ intent,

     creating, demanding a need to invent

     a song to attract a new or lost mate:

     so, a beacon to follow and commitment to state.

Gianna's Image

Oh, Gianna stella piu' splendente del mattino,
di questo immenso e misterioso sogno,
fatti rapire dal suo fascino malizioso;
assaggia la sua magia, tutto e' cosi' sereno!

Oh, Gianna shiniest star of all stars,
of this endless and mysterious dream:
don't be raptured by its mischievous charm; 
all appears so calm: savor its magical bliss! 

Come puo' il desiderio sfuggire dal bisogno?
Allora il tuo bisogno era piccolo, adesso e cresciuto;
hai posto un limite assurdo e hai smesso
di contare i giorni che ti ricordano cio' che hai perso!

How can desire shy away from want?
Then, your need was small, now it's great;
You set an absurd limit and stopped to count:
days that remind you of what was lost! 

L'immagine di Gianna e' conpletamente cambiata,
la sua visione della vita e' quasi o totalmente svanita;
potra' mai capire che si puo' amare senza nessuna colpa,
senze mettere il freno alla passione che e' rimasta intatta?

Gianna's image has changed completely,
her awesome vison in life has almost or totally vanished;
will she understand that one can love guiltlessly...
without putting a stop to the passion that hasn't withered?

Ha Gianna quella voglia di riaccendere la fiamma spenta
del suo perduto amore e vivere nella certezza assoluta?
Saro' io a tirarla fuori dell'abbisso e darle valore alla vita?
Chi oltre a me me prova una compassione piu' profonda?


Has Gianna that wish to rekindle the distinguished flame
of her lost love and not live with the obsession of blame? 
Will I pull her up from the abyss and give worth to her life?
Who besides me has a compassion deeper than mine?
