Premium Member Cadence Of Death


Inspired by Iron Maiden’s song Dance of Death


When the transiting sun shined enchantingly,
spreading color spectrum in the chameleon sky,
I saw once the masked figures of ingenious craft, 
walk with me enticed on the broken garden path.
At nightfall, I didn’t hear their footsteps prancing,
while their masks dissolved in the depth of darkness,
I saw their shapeless hollow faces
that chilled my spine immobile. 

In the desolate domain of eerie milieu, 
under the ebony shadow of the opaque sky, 
on the murky hideous landscape desolate, 
the nocturnal creatures danced lifeless, 
stalking me as sinister night riders, 
that slithered in the sly from the creepy forlornness 
of the scary wild where I followed them entranced.

With the arcane image of death concealed, 
as feral creatures of deceptive charm they lurked.
Like the sordid silhouettes of lethal menace 
they stealthily sneaked with the shadow of dark danger	
into the quintessence of my placid life.  
They sipped my soul’s nectar from the chalice of squalid night, 
enticing me to join them in the dance of death.

After the party ended in the middle of the fatal night,
the shapeless figures left one by one.
The psychedelic lights dissolved into gripping darkness,
the spiteful wild air rippled with the cadence of death.

Then I saw the figures return, floating in the rhythm of ballet.
Chiseled from the blocks of deadly darkness
their fragile frames configured from the vicious void
assembled to fill my lonesome emptiness
that danced to the music of death.

I sensed me sinking with my morphed essence
within the flowing trance of the mystique night.
I heard the distant bell toll faint for me,
the music of life’s violin stopped in an instant
within the time transcending depth of silence. 

When my time flowed to the stilled past, I wanted to relive,
I felt the invisible cold grip take away my last breath,
until I emerged from the spell of trance,
when my soul arose from the fathomless unknown depth,
where I had been hypnotized,
making music in infinite solitude for the dance of death.


Premium Member Unconditional Surrender To Love

Liquescent sunset fades away, 
From the calm ocean horizon; 
Slow ease, moving, 
Mingling hues of scarlet, 
Coral mood of twilight. 

Immerse in the serene ocean music, 
Waves begin to creep within reach; 
Graceful pull, backs away, 
To its labyrinth fathoms depth. 

The air, I inhale deep, 
Lost in briny cool breeze. 
My passionate heartbeat 
Consumes in its quintessence 
Of the unfeigned world, 
My simple lullaby. 

Seagulls sailing by 
Settling down for the night. 

Alone, just my beloved and me, 
Sit on a blanket, spread out 
Over the grain of sand, nuzzling close. 
A picnic, under the nascent twilight heaven. 

Candles flicker blue-red flames, 
Stimulating sparks, from the gentle stroke
Rolling off the ocean breeze. 

A basket of fresh fruits, aged cheese,
Two crystal glasses 
Filled with champagne as love beckons. 
A fleeting glance into colorfulness night; 
For our ardent passion flowers 
Our unconditional surrender.

Premium Member Nature Delight

Written: December 07, 2023
                    ______________________________________

An art display with free and delightful assets,
Blemishes and brightness of nature are blatant
Confusingly gorgeous and full of magic and wonder
Digging deep down the dictum draws a drain.

Earth apex joins the sky peak to heal man's soul
Fathom thrills in its primal vogue as chaos
Gorgeous greenery coiled in your rippling blade
Hobble with a brisk ember for fall indulgence
It seems that nature is the most visually enticing.

Jewel blooms in a savored indigo whisk breeze
Kissing spite swirled, swaying spritz and sunlight
Levitate into the hills tidings; peace will reach you,
Mercurial avian melodies mingled in a zephyr swell.

Numb tears as marigolds sprout in the dawning sun
Observe nature in a gladsome way and appreciate it
Parasol arose in the blissful glory of glorious wile
Quintessence infuses both lost and found creations.

Remember, when the seasons alter and rain falls,
Sunshine and steel drum bands hug periwinkle sky.
Tender, rich maple-scented trees swirl with the wind
Uncork while chirping with birds to relieve stress
Vegetal forms decay, die, or are rudimentary.

Wail with a willow whisper whisked wind wilting
Xenoliths lack implies peridotite-eclogite connect
Yodeling, bird song disguise, and stage presence
Zenith inhales, exhales, fresh air renews your spirit.

Premium Member Quintessence

The quintessence of yellow quince
Is its sweet taste, subtle perfume.
Heralded as a worthy fruit prince.
A true delight from nature's bloom.

A peach's essence, is blushed red skin,
With every bite, a burst of sun,
Its soft tender flesh, draws us in.
Ruby red kiss for everyone.

The essence of pear, is its grace,
Crisp, and succulent, such delight.
Its artful shape you must embrace!
Its taste lingers on through the night!

Purple plums hanging down as gems.
Their sweetness bursts in purple bloom,
Gathered like red sapphires on stems.
A taste that lingers, like perfume!

The essence of apple is crunch.
Crisp bursts of flavor when you bite.
Crimson and green, a joy to munch,
A symbol of healthy teeth bright!

There you have it, a quintuplet
Of five quintessences beget!

Premium Member Spontaneity


In the archaic anchorage of the wayward mind, 
isolated from the righteous roots of inviolability
by the dislodging drive of the deriding desires,
untamed instincts shroud the senses in disdain abyss.

Under the sensual surface of corporeal discernment,
tapered thoughts transitorily profile intrinsic images 
on the fleeting screen of the sprouting awareness 
within the unique quintessence of universal reality.
 
The stimulant inner window on enlightenment vista
lets inside rousing sunshine of impetuous actuality, 
radiates the impulsive impression of awakened psyche,
enhances the defining strength of the cathartic spirit.

As immanent emotions unfold in spontaneity space, 
the soul contained latent in the cauldron of vacuity, 
finds freedom, merges inspired with consciousness 
of divine oneness in the realm of absolute supreme.


The Beauty of Silence

The beauty of silence

How I love the sound that’s silence
It reverberates through the home
As I sit in adoration,
All contented, while alone

Gentle breezes fill the ether
Birds are chirping on the trees
Scented roses bloom in grasses
Draw attention of the bees

Peace fills up my very essence
As I sit back in my seat
Sunlight gleams in its candescence
While my spirit is complete

Home is where I feel the safest
Where I laugh and love and live
I can use my imagination
And escape in my reprieve

Soothing sounds surround my being
I’m surrounded by pure bliss
As I revel in the quintessence
And soak up the eternal peace

Premium Member Flickering Awareness

what avail, awareness without freedom
why shines not, light of our luminescence 
our heart yearns for more, we must overcome 

we feel the rhythm within our bosom 
joy experience in fleeting transience 
what avail, awareness without freedom

each sensorium wishes to blossom
not part quintessence but full effulgence 
our heart yearns for more, we must overcome 

discontent with bliss vibration seldom
let unbroken be, dance of innocence 
what avail, awareness without freedom

no fear residuum in Gods kingdom
flickers yet flame of bliss incandescence 
our heart yearns for more, we must overcome 

need jump quantum to imbibe full spectrum 
radiance must outpour in permanence 
what avail, awareness without freedom
our heart yearns for more, we must overcome

Premium Member The Q-Universe Ii: One Hurdle Overcomed

How can one survive this quagmire,
imprisoned by live naked wires?
Creating a chronic quaver
like a terribly unstable lover.

Fears should be quarantined
and from its hiding, mental strength mined.
The challenge ahead, not easy to quash
and the ability to, is stained with rash
Damn! What seems quasi-impossible
has been proven completely beatable.

Finally!
Such an opponent was easier to quern
than a reverse from a swimming sperm.
David versus Goliath
this situation is quintessence.
The wonderful boost from its victory
now becomes an essence to Life’s experience.

A Sky Without the Constellations?

Who would stare at a sky
without the constellations?
Its immense void would only be
filled by the gruesome darkness;
and the obscured earth would have no luminous
moon to gaze upon those mountains and seas!


Times past I used to stare at my murkiness,
and found the coldest depth unlit by tenderness;
and there all feelings were non-existent...a quasi death!
I tried everything imaginable from idealism to mirth,     
to bring some genuine, genial contentment,
but they would not comply with my request!


Quiescent Universe, where have you sent your stars?
Obscurity prevails, all the owls, sparrow hawks and loons
tremble;  their quietude has been replaced by fear and droopiness! 
Even this poet can't possibly quench his ardent spirit and relentless ego...
by not finding that quintessence for another quid pro quo;
every thing seems hushed and conquered by gloom! 


Who would stare at a sky without the constellations,
to become voiceless and quaver?
Why did our Creator think of luminaries
as a source of light that wouldn't conceal  
the marvelous planets spinning together, 
with their perfect balance and sheen? 


An astray ship would lurch on a dark and perilous ocean,
and the assiduous captain would be completely afraid without
the astrological guidance;  and from any diverging direction,
an unexpected and invisible vessel could cause collision!
He must assume the attitude of confidence:  to steer it 
from an eventual disaster by invoking God again!
