Premium Member Purpose

Quatrain #828:
MAZE


Meet with calm poise the truth most kind,
Apt joy greets voice with peace of mind;
Zest transcends noise as love moves grand, 
Etch a clear choice with grace you find.

Wise purpose find
With peace of mind


Seek what you seek
Be still and meek


There comes a time 
When success chimes


Look deeper yet
Beyond mere bet


There is a face 
That funds all space


Seek then the proof
In simple truth


Passion grows fire
Fond grace now sires


Just do your best
Know your fond quest

Premium Member Night Falls Upon Us

night falls upon us like 
a blanket of surety knowing 
the darkness is inevitable 
seeking respite from the sun 
night falls upon us melancholy 
drifting awakening new senses 
unseen during the daytime
melodies night captures 
your souls solace for peace 
in solitude allowing every 
emotion to be quieted settling 
into a calming state of mind 
while thoughts of tomorrow 
yesterday future thoughts 
dance in harmony to a brilliant 
symphony beneath the bright 
stars unfolds a dark rapture 
orchestrated to a sullen 
reminder that daylight will 
soon be approaching while 
the need to hold on tight 
to night just a little longer 
before the hustle and bustle 
of the busy world awakens 
again why we know its coming
soon but ah the sultry nighttime 
romancing the serene silence 
of it all comfort and relief 
the only time within the day 
where we are truly alone 
with ourselves while each 
of says good night dear see 
you tomorrow sleep tight
selfishly clinging to your 
own nighttime craving 
that uninterrupted energy 
the time of day where every 
living thing simply calls it a night
I devour my dark fetish to write

Premium Member Spring Eloquence

Spark a warm fire in surge of spring,
Prize deep feelings that break new grounds;
Reap touch that sires wonder time brings,
Ink words that sing of wisdom found;
Nature prompts fest through ups and downs,
Give to each fool a teasing wit.
Entrench fine zest to play the clown,
Laughter feeds cool sheer easy bits;
Observe the way hope channels peace,
Quest for the best with eager heart;
Urge love to stay with profound ease,
Expect odd jest to tamper start;
Now frames true flow of gain and chance,
Charm greets wise show in sexy dance;
Enact grand glow in steady prance.

Premium Member from the bottom of tomorrow

you crawled from the bottom 
of tomorrow withered beneath 
my feet the smell of forgotten 
earth arose bountiful cruelty 
emerged my mind craved awful 
goodness standing before me 
a hidden figure moving behind 
the darkness legs unevenly bent 
backwards standing there with 
broken blood stained wings a tear 
as hard as tar remained on your 
cheek who are you why are you 
here filled with dreary contempt 
faintness shyness bestowed such 
a tyrant entity taunting me with 
childlike eyes beckoning my mothers 
instinct to nurture this creature of 
darkness my mind said don't do not 
covenant nor comfort the muses of 
norse ravenlike energy look away and 
yet the dry warm breeze gathered 
from your heavy breathing seated 
in a mystic garden sprouting inside 
my bedroom Odin standing over me 
i whisper you must please go now
you're not supposed to be here 
knowing full well tomorrow is near


Premium Member The vanishing Olive trees of Puglia

Ongoing rows of trees 
branches reaching binding 
crawling braiding trunks of 
olive trees capturing my senses 
warm breeze glides down my 
spine the ripened forestry handfuls 
delightful ripeness historic scenery 
as I mastered the monopoli landings 
the essence of extra virgin oils pour 
to perfection stored in tins we carry 
them between the lemon zest aroma 
of the countryside an afternoon filled 
with pacifying my fancy with a charming 
pinot noir settling down between the 
largest tree trunks split into from thousands 
of years of draping olives trees throughout 
the hillside magnificent magnitude strength 
balancing heritage while embracing culture
saving the old country the vanishing Puglia

Premium Member Meditation

Seek to know how,
Be mindful now.


Find your calm space,
Sit still in place.


Close your eyes here,
Let breathing steer.


Breathe deeply still,
Focus your will.


Relax and see,
Stillness can free.


A certain ease,
Now rains calm peace.


Purge stress and strain,
Watch poise touch plain.


Breathe in, breathe out,
Feel silence shout.


A still small voice,
Now intuits choice.


Dare to keep still,
Feel joy reveal.


Make time each day,
To sit and pray.


Words need not come,
Watch stillness hum.


Your soul knows best,
Your journey quest.


Listen and learn,
In silence yearn.

Christ's Holy Whip

That whip is the flaming might of the heavenly white dove 
That burns away the wicked, and blows away the black ash thereof 
That long-lasting wood for the whip is the blood ridden cross 
That brought death to Jesus and begot the life of Christ now above 

These joined made the flaming cross for Jerusalem to see 
Filled with robbers and barren canals, far from the Pleroma’s sea 
Not the city we see, but the one who cries out “Lord, Lord”
For us to become the house of sun, light and dove forever free



Inspired by Heracleon's Commentary on the Gospel of John, Fragment 13 on John 2:13-16.

Premium Member 1942 my father

Sorry jay Townsend Johnson 
Henry respect your own

shall perish in my sweat what 
I don't care who you wed
or who you bed who you lay 
or who you spray mon what
cha gwuane do but sit and stay
