Ancient Evenings

my eyelids
are pyramid
stones too heavy
to lift so i read
the hieroglyphs
behind my lids

like a black
and white
silent movie
my mind provides
the music though
i dream in color

but must shush
the others
that rudely
keep talking
during the main
feature

(meanwhile trying
to digest my movies'

plot while eating hot
air blown pop corn

with slightly unsalted
butter a dash of soy 

sauce and parmesan
cheese topping

obviously a
subliminal
message
placed be
tween every
eighth REM)

it seems the film
is about a ka
that can't 
find its
way
so

is spirited away
by memories
that are supposed 
to be clues
to help one
find one's self

so different 
scenes show
different things
that are meant to
mean one thing when
the pieces are put together

the house lights
come up as my
eyes open but to
find i am in
darkness

perhaps

a tomb

Feature, Flame

Flame-featured twilight, illuminate fast!
Young are the dreams of humanity vast!
Age is a mystery museums kept.
Poets and prophets in agony wept...
Core of the harpsichord, pyramid-shaped.
Moorlands and moonlight black lined and blue taped.
Volcanic spark flowing downward like wine.
Howl at the moon for a woman divine...

Thunderbolt, jolt! Once Red Hare was a colt!
Genius is golden? Deliver high volt!
Soar, O ye war-birds! O raptors, set out!
Whisper about what you're wanting to shout...
Hunting means compromise? Yes, I suppose.
Failure on such tour means feeding the crows.
Prey of tyrannosaurs, horror can lurk!
Hard work means shirking for average jerk...

Flickering foxfire, fan out on the fen.
Aim with thy arrows? Yes, but, then again;
Deadly are darts and stakes, to vampire hearts.
Flavors of arts and crafts, ticklish tarts.
Warrior, wild are the winter winds. Why?
Death by design, dragon! Dynamite, chide!
Werewolf, thy stride. Complied? Shiver inside!
Poisonous pride tends toward lion's pace plied...

Ergo, ye adept, respect roundabout.
Foxes in boxes where phlox grows en route.
Tyrants and archons in common sense stick!
Wicker man, nicker mare, ichor, thy chick...
Snail, leave thy trail glistening every morn.
Hatchet handle, glow with blood. O slughorn;
Send home a sign that the battle is won?
Call out their champion and it's begun...

Blossoming honeysuckle and ivy?
Castles obscured by the shine of the sea.
Mountains are dinosaurs? Some think so, yes.
Hell and Heaven just might bless what we guess.
Breaker point setting up warnings to tell?
Much like covens mean witch casting spell.
Gaslight, point elsewhere! Sharp rocks in the reef!
Heading to nowhere, O fabled belief...

Five by five they stand in Love,
Waiting for the Sun.
Under the cover, they hid.ed One.

Premium Member A One Percent Fair To See

A trickling and discharging of these economic systems does weigh me.
A dribbling, and dropping of these little small paper colored green-backs.
A congress full of life-time professionals and political hacks,
and with a moral decline a tooth-decay black.

It does not matter if you have the highest of noted degrees.
The system is always on the verge of a catastrophe or a cold freeze.
You could know everything from A to Z.
Yet, only still to be tightly wrung through and squeezed.

A Corporate Cast system is the only thing that is real.
A theater casting calls of the first, then the last that's the deal.
The elites, and their enclosed franchise masked.
Is this fair or unfair or is it too hard to see.

This, to view, a carousel of toy ponies that are in a circle and phony.
It, an allusion like Fair; to be seen and this you will feel.
"Our only hope is in the Bible; its Truths and its highest Creeds."
"If and only when you truly do see it as a most highly sought of zeal."
"A one percent Fair; now in this world is seen; a pyramid slim scheme."

Premium Member Bound in Passion, To Death Succumbed: Beksinski

From the catastrophic calamity they could not hide
Frantically facing the fear of a fiery death,
   they cling together until their final breath.
Arm in arm; heart against heart...
   despite the impending tragedy, 
   determined never to be torn apart.
Love kept them side by side
Bodies stripped of flesh and still they clung
   in passion bound, to flames they had succumbed

Emotions run deep as I feel their suffering
  and agonizing pain that accompanied the couple
   who could not refrain from devotion, even near death
    embracing each other in their last moment together
     while being robbed of one more breath.

As smoke darked the sanguine sky,
   it was inevitable they were about to die
I imagined hearing her whisper...
  "Hold me in your arms so I cannot see
   death in the darkness as it approaches us
    as if it were night instead of day.
Kiss me when the sun sleeps."

Helpless to end her weeping,
  he swept her into his arms as hot embers
   rained down upon their bodies.
He held her tighter to his chest and cried,
 "Keep your fingers around my soul
   and know that our love will never grow old."

Painted as if lost in a nightmarish horror,
 they remained until the end of their existence
  insistent on holding each other tight
   but helpless to offer resistance...
    until death claimed them for its own
There was no pyramid to be found
 where they'd be safe from the profound hell
  that rained down around them.
Their only peace was that in each other's arms
 they would meet death together... entwined 

Centuries later, they would be found,
  limbs wound together in a profound way.
Like the ancient Pompeiian volcanic disaster
 where once lived a civilization of glory,
   that perished to death amid smoldering lava,
    bodies burned and buried in windswept ashes...
Escape was also impossible in that calamitous story.

Vial, Voracity

Hope, are you still out there?
As buoyant as the blue?
Plight and poison, pine to pare!
Dark fire, burn me new!

Chains a-causal, wrap us tight!
Flicker as you fly!
O Erebus, bid good night!
Light of spark, bely!

Wind atop the pinhole shade?
Machine, marmalade!
O for games as yet unplayed!
Belladonna, bade!

Torment of the tornado?
It spins unevenly.
Swiftly flies the dappled roe!
Io, lost at sea!

Rejects of line, assemble!
Serry thou thy ranks!
Sing in we, O brazen bull!
Soldiers, guard the tanks!

Salvage operation?
It helps to pay thy rent.
Sacrifice! Such songs to shun!
Queen Dido, where went?

Rage and riddle, red rook rhyme!
Roundabout and reel!
Prisoner, what is thy crime?
Show them how you heal!

Plight and passion, prickly pear?
Pyramid, receive!
Load on my back, burr to bear!
Ricochet, reprieve!

Harpy star in skies of grey?
Onward, O hounds! Bay!
Poison pill, debt to repay?
Crucible and cay...

Premium Member Red Planet Mars

Giant Red Planet Mars: What's really going on? 

Rumors are, there is someone other than I
They're hiding where I can't see if I try
Some say they’re pint-size, big heads, and huge eclipse black eyes
Never wearing a disguise
Some say they're green
Some say they’ve been seen
Have been found and hidden out of sight, long ago
People are horrified and mortify to say otherwise and forgo
Kidnaping earthlings
And transported to distant headings
Unknown
True or false, I don’t know
Who am I to say otherwise?
We just go with the flow and compromise
We can’t blow away rumors
Crawl away just because we’re late bloomers
What knowledge we possess is our own
We’ve never been shown
Are we prone to fear?
At things that we hear
						
On Mars surface,
Observed by countless boisterous
Rumors, three dome cities thought to be found 
Capstone mound 
Possible a pyramid buried deep underground 
Landscape that could transform
Caused by windstorm
Does it have a connection with our Egypt’s pyramid forms?
Not a trick of the light and shadows from the stars
It’s really bizarre mystery of what constitutes the giant red planet Mars
Is someone else here on earth hidden where we can’t see?
Do we learn from them or go on our own way thinking we’re the only ones and let be

Pyramid Scheme Great Reward

If this here deep inside the depth
of the Great Pyramid was in fact
meant to be

A burial chamber for the felled 
Pharaoh King himself

To ascent and assimilate his procession
and onward journey into the afterlife 

And this his marble granite sarcophagus

Then pray let me me in silent contemplation
for a given time inside reside and lay in
waiting if only just for him

And listen out for the echo sounds
rebounding back to and from the afterlife 

Regaling tales of enlightenment the such
as like

What indeed a star does actually sounds like

Or how long we are supposed to be dead 
before we are born again 

If in fact we are to be at all or secrets
Orion keeps hidden underneath his belt

Or if he actually has 3 sisters

Or why on earth was he himself indeed
deemed to be birthed and born as
a King

Yet I and countless serfs where meant
to kneel before his feet 

And most pressing of all

Do we who's manual labor sweat and toil
both needed and used

In order to construct this monument
and so to apply it's manifest

Eventually get some great reward for
doing so ourselves

Grace a tomb entwined with walls
endowed with multi colored dispensary
by the greatest artists of the day

And an infinite supply of all earthly worldly 
good's and treasure to accompany me

More gold than Midas himself had at his 
disposal to mine or anything other than
I was able to own let alone dare wish
ever possess 

Or are we so too as well too be ignored
and passed over in the afterlife as in
this life too

County Fair

The hum of the motors that run the rides,
watching cars on tracks going up and down.
Squeals and screams from all those children that ride,
scrambler, octopus, and merry-go-round.

From the excitement of the tilt-a-whirl,
to the view from atop the Ferris wheel.
Stealing kisses from your favorite girl,
how wonderful the county fair did feel.

There were carnies barking out to the crowd,
telling us all about their games of chance.
Spend a dollar to win a ten-cent bear,
was all part of the county fair’s romance.

Toss a ball at a milk can pyramid,
trying to knock them over if you can.
If you can manage to do it just right,
then you might win your girl a paper fan.

Popcorn, cotton candy, and funnel cakes,
things that a fairgoer can’t live without.
Live country music at the beer garden,
that’s where all the older folks would hang out.

Seems there was a contest for just about,
everything that is possible to judge.
People hoping for red, or blue ribbons,
on their pigs or cows or jellies or fudge.
