Premium Member A Kiss in the Dark



                                 A kiss in the dark, 
                        Turns the ambiance romantic!
                        Entwined in each other’s arms,
                        Startling scenes couples make! 
                    Heightened by privacy and intimacy,  
                    Sensory experience stimulates them
                  To go a step further towards their union.
                      The two souls, thus become one.
                             Oh, what a confluence!
                         Busy in the work of creation
                         Their progeny, they increase.
                           Amidst their kith and kin, 
                      Those who sip the nectar of joy
                        Live a happy and blissful life!


Premium Member I Almost Tossed it Out

       As I am growing older and life becoming lonelier,
       The past beckons, and though I had almost tossed it out,
       The idea of going back to my native land and my people
       Now grows in me as an urgency with no trace of doubt.
       
       I shall go, my soul flying faster than my supple limbs
       To perch on my native land that I left long time ago
       To see the changes, these intervening years have brought
       And to revive the glorious past that in me still aglow

       To listen again to the melodious tunes, half forgotten
       To laugh and talk with my one- time bosom friends
       To enjoy a life lighter and less demanding
       Free of all finesse, rid of all stilted and crazy trends

       I shall visit each of my lovesome former haunts
       The parish church and my parents' forlorn graves
       I shall go to the village school which I loved the best
       That still resurrects in me memories, waves on waves
 
        I shall go wandering through the country roads
        Listen to birds' shrill calls, lovely and clear
        Watch the smile rekindling old familiar faces
        And enjoy the sweet rustic air, dust free and pure

        I want to watch the Gulmohar in opulent bloom
        Feel the scent of jasmines opening at night
        Walk through the paddy fields stretching endless
        Enjoy all the rural scenes that greatly delight

         Climb the small hill where gooseberries grow
         Wind down my way to my friends’ quarters
         And travel farther to the river side with my pals
         To have a dip in the river's cool and clear waters

        Oh, I shall be away from the roaring crowd for ever        
        And relish the peace and quiet, free of all grinding chores
        Cling to life's commonplace things and charms
        Find my own footing there, never to be back to alien shores!

Premium Member Tornado Warnings

Tumultuous skies of molten lead,
 Ominous air thick with dread.
 Rotation begins its deadly dance,
 Nauseous swirling spurring its advance.
 Allied together hail, lightning, rain,
 Drop from the sky with thunderous refrain.
 Out of the clouds the funnel descends.

 Whirling dervish hits the ground,
 Alarms go off, sirens sound.
 Raging monster churns and spits,
 Negating everything in its grip.
 Indecent destruction follows its wake,
 Nightmarish scenes so hard to take.
 Grim-faced survivors survey damage done,
 Strongly insisting that the storm has not won.

Premium Member Be in Nature's Embrace

At dawn, nature glistens in sparkling dew
This is the time to start our life anew

Feast on the brilliance of the rising sun
The marvels nature unfolds, who can shun?

When you find yourself in blue or gloom
Take time to watch nature in bloom

The beauty around can give you delight
And your soul will slowly open to light!

Watch the beauty of the clean azure sky
Enjoy the V formation of birds flying high

Listen to the murmur of rippling streams
Enjoy the warmth of sun’s kissing beams

Watch the tiny specks of clouds sailing in the sky 
Enjoy the grandeur of mountains towering high

Listen to birds singing amid fluttering leaves
See the artistry of gossamer web, the spider weaves

Count the bees that carry the cargo of honey
Thrilled you’ll be by Nature’s magic symphony.

Enjoy the dance of flowers kissed by the wind
Watching them, you’ll be freed of life's grind  

Sit back and view nature’s delightful scenes
In her lap, relax and weave lovely dreams

Sure, nature can lift you into a world of magic, I swear
She has such delectable potions for all our ills to cure.

Premium Member Looking Back

I stand on this plot of ground
thinking about my life
the good I have done the bad I have done
the love I have created the hate that I stirred
My autobiography is filled with happy moments
painful moments
The world I see before me is not the same
neither am I
God seems so close at times yet at times so far away 
An anxious mind creates restless thoughts sleepless nights
Time is now...the past is but a memory
hazy and biased good or bad replayed with a new script
some scenes better left on the cutting floor
This world I helped create...helped to create me
regrets have become my drinking companion
I stand on this plot of ground breathing in 
and breathing out the life I have lived
I have seen sadness and joy both can be misguided
when I was a child I looked to the future
now that I am old I replay the past 
I have walked on this tightrope swaying side to side
balancing these frisky emotions never looking down 
having faith the safety net has always been there 

Frank (Black) Blacharczyk


Autumn Calls

The colors dance in the sun light
 reflections of the sky, the sun, the air, the night
 cool chills frosting every breath in flight
 taking in the scene 
 of all the summer left dreams.

Pale greens, yellowing in the grassy flows
 amber oaks, hay straw stuffed scarecrows,
 crisp leaf foggy maple cider cloves,
 wood smoked clay in autumn dusk idle slash,
 gold corn flowered pumpkin hash;

every color of a scenic palette wall
 painted in the ominous winter sky fall
 misted wine in spicy chai tea
 fragrant petrichor from the forest seas,
 burnt umber leaves turn crimson garnet scenes freed;

mulberry cinnamon flame reds
 cranberry chestnut butterscotch breads
 scent the kitchens of fall harvest 
 brown sweater strudel coffee nourishing
 bless this seasonal fluttering currency.

Premium Member Cherished Reminiscences

"recently scenes of early life have stolen into my mind, like breezes blown ..."

                       Quote by _Samuel Taylor Coleridge (from his writings)


             Buried deep in the coffin of my mind,
         Memories of my youth; aged like fine wine.
          I've got a few cherished ones to exhume!

I recall one chilly autumn noon running around the park 
     With the neighborhood kids, then I'd run indoors
To warm up when winds start to groan and whistle. Brrr!

   Ah, the halcyon days of summer sitting in the shade 
  Wolfing down watermelons with my best friend,  Lloyd,
    Cheering on kids playing basketball in the backyard.

      I remember one harsh winter sprinkling play sand  
     And rock salt on walkways with Dad before snowfall,
         So snow won't stick to the ground. Fun times!

Sense what I see spur my story:
Watch sanguine sea crash so windy.


Feel the pulse here as echoes steer:
Look to good cheer to thrill most clear.


See how things grow with steady flow:
Watch scenes that show true light that glows.


Touch a new wave of thoughts that save:
Look how loves saves swift courage brave.


Scent precious poise that sparkles voice:
Watch how firm choice can purge odd noise.


Taste the sure grace of calm embrace:
Look to fine trace in floral space.


Heed what you hear with pleasant cheer:
Watch feelings clear to move thoughts dear.


Dwell on fond tell with ideas swell:
Love casts true spells to sculpt words well.


Glimpse beyond thought that inner plot:
Word gathers lot in poise that slots.

Premium Member Tarnished Reflections

TARNISHED REFLECTIONS

Foggy view deaden scenes
Once an angel looking down from heaven
Glancing through the space smuttered by suns glare
Transforming into a lesser glory vison
Looking out my tattered young eyes I stare
Into the mirror I becon tarnished relections
Rubbing them my eyes while wandering, why?
I stare at the sun my eyes tears up so upsetting
Birth into this world I share tears run I cry
Those visions I may have dirty face in all
Into the mirror I becon tarnished relections
While through those window panes of my life falls
I see through my scratch eyes my hue direction
My life passes by vision still blurred for I cry
I see myself in the dirty windows and walls
The shadow refects my face why
Into the mirror I becond tarnished relections
I see myself in the day and darkness
Reflections of contrash
This worlds view so dead on que
I no longer see myself

Premium Member First Encounter

"recently scenes of early life have stolen into my mind, like breezes blown ..."

                       Quote by _Samuel Taylor Coleridge (from his writings)


Oh, I never thought I would marry her.
We found ourselves under the mistletoe.
Her lips were warm, her perfumes sweetly were.
Oh, I never thought I would marry her.
Her love was all mine, a ring I'd bestow.
Her voice was silky, her speech soft like snow.
Oh, I never thought I would marry her
We found ourselves under the mistletoe.
