Other Than You-- (Part I)

Again I am at my favorite coffee shop, sipping cappichino wanting
 to write about something other than you.
  Wanting half-heartedly to move to a different page in my life.
 Needing someone else to fill that void you have left.
 When I shut my eyes, you are there.  
Small things constantly remind me of you. 
Like Fate whispering to me from another plane to hold on a little longer.
At night my head fills with hazy dreams of us. 
As I lay alone at night staring up into the dark,
your smile flashes infront of me.
 I cry and reach out for you yet wishing that you are happy in your place in life. 
I swim in this oceanic thought drifting out with the tide of a reality that I wish were true:
 You, in your study working on another book,  typing away.
 Contenence of seriousness and contemplation= logic
 Muscles of your jaw tense, your eyes moving in time with written lines 
as the light of the screen highlights your face.
 You lean forward as if to extract something from your works. 
 Hesitantly you begin to type again. Read what is there, 
digest the phrasing, grimice, then fiercely press the backspace key erasing
 forever that paragraph.. 
The frustration in these obsene lines. 
 I sense that you are stuck. 
 Leaning back in your highbacked leather chair staring at the screen. 
Fingers arched in a prayer that your muse will come and bless you with a few lines. 
 To complete a thought.
 As they move forth and back over pursed lips...Your concentration, to save an ill-fated ship from the clutches of a diabolical empire,
 is such that you do not notice me standing in the doorway.
 For the moment, I prefer it that way.
 I take pleasure in watching you work, 
pounder the course of the universe and not realize that you are being observed.
 As I did when we were in the desert.
 When I was on guard duty with the 240 Bravo that you taught me how to use. 
I would watch you walk away from the TOC,
 hands clasped  behind your back, head covered with your booney cap lowered watching the ground. Puzzlement over the actions of the day.
Still, you have yet to see me standing there watching you...........

Premium Member Icebox Days

A seething summer morning in the oil boom trailer park
Oral Roberts on the radio with the gospel told by Mark
The reek of raw petroleum is everywhere around
We little oil trash urchins play marbles on the ground

He drives out here most every day around the hour of nine
Checking all the trailer windows for a little cardboard sign
He parks the canvas-covered truck and dons his leather vest
Throws a tow sack o'er his back and shows his Sunday best

Down the drive comes Danny, on his mighty motor bike
Hanging on the handlebars, his bigger brother Mike
The engine makes a ton of noise, a dandy double stroke
Two baseball cards and clothespins, hitting every spoke

Our ragamuffin gang was gathered, just waiting for the time
To contrive our evil strategy and carry out our crime
“The iceman, the iceman!”, I hear my sisters say
“Y'all be quiet!”, I hiss to them,” You'll give us all away!”

The iceman sidles round the truck and casts the canvas back
Scores a hundred-pounder block and cleaves it with a whack
Tongs the icy burden to his back and laughs at what is left
Chunks and chips of frozen jewels, the targets of our theft

We want so hard to play it cool and act like we don't care
All our mouths fill up with drool and it's tricky not to stare
The iceman winks his eye at me and hides a little grin
Then walks up to the trailer door where mother lets him in

The moment that the door slams shut, the bandits make their play
With eyes lit up, we whoop and shout like kids on holiday
We suck up all the chunks and chips and with our bellies iced
We swagger off to brag about our frosty jewelry heist

It's true we didn't have a lot, perhaps enough to just scrape by
But the visit from the iceman was like Christmas in July
And when I pass through oilfield country, it never ceases to amaze
How the scent of raw petroleum brings back those icebox days

Premium Member Tails Up

Commercial season in its full swing
boats afloat dot foggy harbor scene
	we're off like a prom dress
	let's catch a mega-mess
barbs a'flyin', some even obscene

Wish 'em up! Catch 'em up! Bend the rod!
tease with the herring, but not the cod.
	weekend revolution
	curse the thoughtless googans
less than seventy-three inch outlawed

find the school of herring, find the whale
there we'll drop anchor and chum the trail
	drop the bait, throw the chum
	if we chum, they might come
pull the hook, hear our woebegone wail

youngsters have chum methodology
squid-haddock mix no apology
	chumbalaya soup
	up goes the loud whoop
they sing a joyful doxology!

they cut the chum and then throw it in
expecting to catch a big blue fin
	they hook the herring
	the beeps a'blaring
land the fat cow that was in a spin! 

It’s a big, fat, slob – a screamer!
if it’s a shark, you’re a dreamer
	come on baby, bite me 
	on the hook, excite me
it’s a blue fin clever schemer

tails up! it’s safely on the deck
all this work is for a paycheck
	pink, fat, and greasy
	some make it easy
who’s in the lead, they’re neck ‘n neck

over the rail and into the pail
back to the dock to make a big sell
	dollars, six to 28,
	900 pounder is great
turn and burn, we're off to find the whale

at end-of-day when season is done
competition end, who's number one
	some were lost, some were gained
	tuna species sustained
next year, another season will run

To be sung from the tongue of that defiant young.

A Journey Through the Mystic Realm

In life's crucible, I succumbed to a mystic trance,
Where ephemeral allurements enthralled my soul's dance,
The spirit beckoned, and I wandered into the heart
Of "Akamara's" ancient tree, a realm of mystic art.

Within its boughs, a world of wonder waited to unfold,
A realm of supernatural beings, with powers to mold,
Their feast was ambrosia, their waters crystal clear,
A utopia of magic, where cars, houses, and markets appear.

Awele, a sage, introduced me to Agiliti's mystic might,
Who promised the key to wealth, and banished endless night,
I, a candle-bearer, once lost, now found my inner fire,
Determined to seize wealth's mantle, my heart's greatest desire.

Yet, tasks lay ahead, like finding the lion's hidden skill,
A quest that led me through the forest's whispering still,
Ghommid spirits swirled, a vortex of ethereal might,
But I pressed on, undaunted, through the shadows of endless night.

Jojo, a woodland sage, who died yet lived anew,
Taught me the ancient lore, of lion's skill and spirit true,
He gifted me the power pounder, and Len's all-seeing eye,
To unveil the hidden truths, and unlock the forest's mystic sigh.

Riches and power unfolded, like a tapestry of old,
Yet, like a wisp of smoke, it vanished, leaving naught but a dream's cold.

Zono Life

In the wilderness is where you find me Beneath the pounder of scattered rocks right where there’s light in a tiny hole is where am at my life has a bullet Shifting Sorrowful Naïve  plight that no one can ever return from but my life is known to see the ugly in you and I and all the things that has endure to make me into who I am now but still I 
Consistency think why does this keep happening to me is because there is no more Decency no more respect no more love and then I wonder if it’s how I look but maybe that’s their Opinion and it doesn’t matter anyway and those are people that whisk in the air like paper showing there truth and their decent of what else they can grasp and use it like a theft.see everyone wants to feel superior but stepping on those will cost you plenty a sin that high will cost your life but this life is a Deceiving tangled and wrong pathway right now I just want peace ecstasy and happiness am done with it all I want is just to live happily ever after in my own world where pain decent and disrespect no longer lie we’re on this path of life footsteps are known to be on everyone and are those footsteps are souls which are as cold as ice but the love we once forgot can warm hundreds

Words

In darkness I found refuge,
Those brown wave elements forms my imaginations,
I suffered in silence,because I refused to speak,
They wondered why I was mute?

I'm like an abandoned drum which cannot give greenlight about its nature,
Morning takes my happiness,
I await the dark to wipe the solemn tears that flows from the banks of my eyelids.

My throats are dried from the constant calling on death to sweep my legs of the earth,
The moments keeps getting tough as the memories keep killing me beneath my mind,
In sadness I found comfort.

Then I spoke,
Words of unending bitterness,
I could feel my tongue terrified to the words that accumulated my emotions 
My mind couldn't understand the phenomenal feelings of regret.

Word that thwarted my beings ,
Words that defined my dejection,
I regretted ever letting my lower and upper lips meet together and review my great injection.

I was told words of blames
I shouted in the martyrdom of my voice, 
In excruciating pain, my words were made to stand against it's beholder.

I lost my effective sleeping pills to thoughts,
I could only pounder on why ?
These were just hypothesis; they do not define me.

Big Ben chimes Bazball Zen

Big Ben chimes again
With Bazball zen
One of those men
From special stock
Shepherd of the flock
Hewn from strewn Volcanic rock

From New Zealand's Southern Isle
But only there for a wee while
Mighty flame haired flair laird 

Without doubt more about Blighty's North East
They forged this bellicose beast
Ripsnorting sporting cavorting squire  
Glutton & gourmand gorged feast

Test town crier
Puffed buffed chest
Inspire..burning
Proper copper topper
Churning fire..

Endless zest..desire
No dull lull
No bore draw
Simple...aspire
To score more!

It's not arcane
Stokes campaign & reign
Train like you're insane
Always entertain!

Remember us flounder 
In the gutter
Trounced...17 on the bounce 
Could we have found
Pound for pounder
Better all rounder

Nutter...go getter 
Sounder founder
Run rate record setter
Of the evolution
And revolution 
Of Test cricket

Toe to toe
Blow by blow
Heave ho
Give us a ticket

In the Baz ball or
Ben buzz grotto

Gung Ho motto

You will never know 
Till you give it a go!

Orchard Dream

Under uncannily beautiful oak couple is making love
On one of the branches sits snow white dove
The dream of orchard fits this scene like a glove
That is what it is an orchard of love

Spring eyes green like the sea
Above azure blueness of heavens in full majesty
Like spring flowers root in soil emotions root in destiny
Blooming like spring flowers is love for eternity

When the couple is apart billows flood the seas
When that happens he feels her soul vibrate like spring breeze
But when once again her he sees
They will kiss with smell of sage with purple flowers used to make honey by bees

He looks into her eyes and will wonder
How deep they are he will pounder
They are deeper then discontinuous number
Deeper than that from which nothing is immeasurable is the answer 

As spring and sun make their union so do the couple under oak tree
Joined is their destiny
To each other’s heart each has the key
And their souls are joined yet they are free

Blue Pyramid

The pyramid is an ancient tomb
But for soul it is a womb
Build from lime stone slabs that together perfectly fit
This construction was quite engineering feat

I sometimes wonder
When ancient world I pounder
Ten thousand years ago Magi walked the ancient world
And if one travels their footsteps would secrets unfold

They prized Lapis Lazuli more than gold
And believed secrets to life it would hold
As the sky shines with thousand stars
The Magi by looking at them and planets like Jupiter and Mars

Destinies of man and Earth they tried to foretell
And I wonder did the leave something like the pyramid as well
Pyramid not of lime stone yellow brown hue
But made of lapis lazuli royal blue

And maybe instead of soul looking for divine place
They left something more tangible like ship that travels in outer space
The ship that to whole spirit and divinity including Omni-verse
Is what the ship that exchanges time for speed is to our known universe?
