Premium Member Shining Star

shines a face from faraway past - twinkling eyes,
 softest smile, silky hair ....
 a stylish hat, gorgeous shoes, even a glittering pendant.
 so perfect ...holds my hand tight, dances a fairy-dance,
 listens to stories with unperturbed attention...
 dream of a teacher!

 in kindergarten, surrounded by angels,
 all shine like the dazzling stars in illuminated sky,
 one face ...doesn’t have words to express herself,
 not that she does mind.

 as cheerful and chirpy as a parrot,
 she utters something, with confidence,
 does it make sense to the world?
 wonder how the languages were created,
 wonder...those signs.. who invented!

 this tiny girl, floats like a sailboat, 
 no care in the world touches her,
 has created her own language,
 she tells everything she feels,
 it’s we, as much as we try, don’t understand.

Premium Member Tide

Storm a brewing upon the horizon,
With the Darkening of the sun
Clouds touching the sea
What next in my quest to be free
Lowering of my sail
The wind starts to wail
Coming at me
The sea
Waves so very tall
A mountain of waterery wall
For a moment my heart starts to stall.
 I shiver at this sight
Turning day into night
Put my bow to the wind
I shall not bend
Face this sea monster coming at me
May end up at the bottom of the sea
Don't really care
Doesn't dare
Davy Jones
May get my bones
But I feel no fear
As this monster draws near 
Lifting me so high
Seems my sailboat can fly
Salt stinging my eye
Boat jumping from wave to wave
Dancing above the watery grave
I scream with the storms  passion 
Which after a fashion 
I was it, it was I 
One and the same
In the sailing game
Fearlessly  we battle ,a test of wills
 A test of skills
Water slamming me back
I slip in and the wave I attack 
It seems much taller than I 
Once again I'm lifted toward the sky
Floating a moment in the stormy air
We were a great pair
The storm and i
Was saddened as it passed on by
Trembling and shaking
The sun starts waking
Baking
The chill from my soul
Survival was my goal
 drying the skies
The wind dies
My soul flies 
What a ride
The thrill I cannot hide
Riding the tide
Sea is where I roam
It's home sweet home

Premium Member Spooning With Parched Palms

SPOONING WITH PARCHED PALMS

a banquet of butterflies flutter ~
    by her seaswept hair so bonnie. ~

sunshine and freckles fly free from the sky, ~
     illuminating blue eyes, ~
        dotting her suntanned skin. ~

a sailboat serenely knocks against the chiseled shore. ~
   tartan cloth passionately charmed with cheese and wine. ~
pink blushing beach, a twinkle in his smile wants more. ~
   his teeth bright as teeming waves of love’s moon shine. ~

picnic at full thrust ~
    naked footprints rake through sand ~
         soft music spellbound ~
            chantilly lips on blitzed neck ~
               seaside spooning with parched palms ~

Damned Poetry

Poetry be damned 
     
The grey coloured straightjacket of poetry
I have, like, Houdini freed me of these shackles
flowers, loveliness and mendacities.
An unbearable burden getting buried by a ton
of rotten blooms. I am free!
Fly from tree to tree not seeing the foliage, 
soar higher than anyone before so elevated,
the blue planet is a bauble on a Christmas tree.
I land in a potato field with ordinary colours and 
brown soil and when flowers from Amsterdam 
are in season I`m free to wade in a muddy pool,
wear yellow wellies towing on a string a tiny sailboat
that (as by magic) becomes a three mastered schooner.
All this because I ain´t no poet but a writer and can
use double negatives if I so wish
(from my book When Beelzebub Ruled)

Premium Member Ecstasy

Exquisitely frail, a lone flute exhales, leaving this heart in a flutter 

Cascading aloft, soft violins rise, from the flow of smooth silver rivers

Swelling the throat, sending spirits afloat on a sailboat of pure ecstasy

Transforming me now, through the mist all alone, where the music can take me away

A symphony of poems, transcends from above, where folklore and hope never ends

Soaring along, and honed from the heart, from the one who knew the divine
 
Yesterday's score, sublime as it is, takes me beyond today's shore

Premium Member No Winter This Year!.... No! None At All!

NO WINTER THIS YEAR! NO NONE AT ALL!

no winter this year, no! none at all!
the ducks dilly dally, honeybees in the fall!

my dry cleaners said "no need for your coat!
I'll get to it when, I dock my sailboat!"

anthills getting bigger, their soldiers don't hurry!
I checked the forecast, no chance of a flurry!

the blueberry tea, I've been served alfresco,
stays quite piping hot! thank you Ernesto!

my finest snow angel, about to appear,
must take a raincheck! with Santa's Reindeer!

the heavens above, must surely have reasons,
postponing ice fishing, and blurring the seasons!

I'll wait two more weeks, before I declare!
"remove thin-ice signs! steep drop-off beware!"

All This and More

bunny heads
and spilled wine on the sofa
Minotaur on fire
and a raspberry doll
a sailboat in a swimming pool
and high foreheads in a park
a mime in a sand mirror
and armed homeless people
blue lips in hands
and Max Ray or Man Ernst?
graffiti in a coffin
and a skyscraper in a bottle
vegetable war
and a black hole in a pear
violin chef
and obese angels in McDonald’s
a paving on a water surface
and an auction sale in a wrong hour
colourless grass
and laughter in times of plague
fashion diarrhea
and a cow in a dance dress
black winter sky
and Cabaret Voltaire forever
dark red absinthe
and a hundred-year-old fisherman on top
murder on a chessboard
and dinosaurs in New York
cosmic mixer
and a smell of lemon fields
amarylis inside out
and a toddler in a sea shell
snow under the bed
and an orchestra at Mount Everest
space shuttle on the beach
and a night under her skirt
a steel ropewalker
and a flea in a golden cage
nice gesture under the reading glass
and a zip on the back door
calm west
and a key to deceased stars
labyrinth of cards
and a 2-D dinner with God (knows who)

all this and more
another time.

Happily Adrift

*                                    I
                                   see
                                waves
                              rolling in
                           interrupting
                         the horizon line
                      the winds picking up
                    my sails with sky combine
                   like a comet in the vastness 
                  of space I am a speck in the sea
                  drifting endlessly, as humble as I
                   could ever imagine to be, to know
                    I may disappear in a moment is as
                     freeing as it is chilling, fleeing land
                      with water spilling onto my feet. will
                                              it
                                              be
         my last voyage or the first of many a quest. seeing
            mother nature at her best. An overwhelming of
               serenity. Here I am anyone, without a need
                     for identity, as my foundation shifts
                       swiftly, I sail away. Happily adrift

Consequences: a Song Lyric

Verse 1:
Asked the hangman, “How they hangin’”
He didn’t even crack a smile.
Said, “Boy, the court is not in session.
You’re gonna have to hang around awhile.”

Pre-chorus:
Then there I was walking down the street
Shootin’ the breeze with Pistol Pete
We jumped in a sailboat to take a ride
But we had to jump off ‘cause the wind had died.

Chorus:
Things can change when you build new fences
Things can change when you tear old fences down
Gotta watch out for those consequences
A small mistake can make for shaky ground

Bridge:
Hold your horses, Palamino Joe
you've been to places you shouldn't go
the NSA and the FBI
they've decided you've gotta fry

Repeat Chorus.
