Premium Member Lyrics and Music

Fingers intertwined in 
  wondrous oneness
  together foreverness
  breathtaking bliss

Eye to eye in
   lyrical longing
   melodic memories
   soul symmetry

Backs turned to 
  bygone brokenness 
  solitary sanctums
  heartbroken hibernation

Face to face in 
  aromatic anecdotes 
  possibility potpourri
  enmeshed essences

Voices join in
  rondos of rendezvous 
  chorales of compatibility 
  madrigals of mutuality 
  
Heart to heart in
  a fulcrum of fulfillment 
  a seesaw of serendipities 
  a trapeze of timelessness

Lips engaged in 
  passion's pendulum
  voluptuous vocabularies
  intoxicating innuendoes

     She is lyrics and I am music
           ~ harmonizing a hypnotizing love song ~
a dizzying duet of delight

Premium Member The Boys

They crawl in a line 
along the esplanade 
between beachfront mansions
and the bay's indifference, 
windows down, elbows out,
hands tapping on doors in time
to the doof doof base
pulverizing air and eardrums
inside their metal sanctums
of pure testosterone.

Throbbing engines ease them
along the street, slow 
and deliberate as if to give 
pedestrians time to admire
and take in such potency.
An occasional pump 
on the pedal sends a roar
rasping out of twin exhausts
and stutters a squeal
of tyres announcing to the locals
and all gathered, the "boys"
are here.

Marooned in another era,
they seem oblivious 
to the derision flung at them
as they pass, misinterpreting 
a smirk for an approving smile,
the shake of a head a gesture 
of wonder rather than a judgment 
on how silly they look.
Their egos blaze like the sun
reflected in polished chrome.

When satisfied 
they've given onlookers their fill
of metallic ****, they hang a left,
plant their foot 
and in a wake of tyre smoke 
and deafening noise, rocket off
back to their own private planet, 
time frozen somewhere 
in the exhaust filled clouds 
on the far side of their minds.

Could I simply call it hell?
Wherein every evil dwell...!
Does there ring a constant knell?
Don't matters midst men go well...?

Dormammu ruled Multiverse,
By bitterness turns a curse;
Strange, and yarrow-like itchy,
In which each cell gets pitchy...!

It's a game like games by gods,
When and where they win all odds; 
Ant-man and wasps have been keen,
tricks of Kaecilius, seen...!

Rifts, trials, and tests, genuine, 
Though seemed a heavenly sign; 
Enters Wilkes in entire wrath,
Attacks sanctums in his path...! 

Kaecilius breaks the spell,
Empowers himself as hell; 
Beats, meters of mystic arts,
By this, does he break art hearts...???

Hooks and crooks, seen all around,
Rhythm does not round so sound;
In the dark, the world is drowned,
Will, now, Dormammu, get crowned...? 

Umar, Clea, Piper Jack,
Like arrack-nuts soon get crack; 
Lo, like the Constellations, 
Frenzy freezes all nations...!!!

Serpents slither here. Scorpions hide beneath our bed spreads.
Spiders, bugs, sticks, ants, and centipedes occupy our beds.

We have coasts. But what use of these? They burn with sultry heat.
Pirates sail to our harbours with their armour-filled fleet.

Predators of all kinds have filled our once lovely islands.
Where, once, flora and fauna flourished, wattles and burrs shake hands.

Our architectural castles seem to crack and collapse.
Dilapidated sanctums of temples reveal time's lapse.

Archaeologists try to explore our mausoleums.
They find noxious inland Taipans in murky museums.

Dogs bite their masters; cats, like tigers, cull their lords with claws.
Cows, bulls, and goats butt, stamp, and pin their herders for no cause.

Arrogance and aggression emblazoned by humankind
Their hearts and minds by evil thoughts, words, and deeds are maligned.

This place too is made by God, I know, like other places.
But, to cut the heads of others, here, each one runs races.
