Premium Member Treasures of Your Soul

Whispered words from behind a wall,
to cronies gathered short and tall.
“Go on ahead,” he said, “let's see.”
“If I can turn her sweet on me.”

So from within, she heard the tale:
the rye, small, snickers, the wolves’ wails.
Yet, like the doe in the fires light,
the wail entranced, did not cause fright.

Wide-eyed, so stunned, the morsel stood,
in frozen stance within the wood.
Within his reach and steady glance,
the hunter broached the ancient dance.

With swagger, grace, he set the pace.
the honeyed tongued Knight on the chase.
He spoke words of honor, brave deeds,
of his claimed virtues she took heed.

“No, ” said the Maid, for she was shy.
“I’m afraid,” she moaned. “Do you lie?”
He turned her chin, and eye to eye,
stroked her fair cheek and heard her sigh.

Offered cake to this starving waif,
with trembling hands, she took the bait.
For upon his lips and rough skin,
She could, sweet-sugar, taste within.

He sought the warmth of her blood; bone.
He thought the conquest was his own.
Yet, she too held a hope within,
to bring forth the goodness in him.

Oh, she could feel his aching need,
'Twas his seedling soul, she'd feed.
The prey, prayed, to touch his heart.
to give the Hunter a new start.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Many’s the times, his teeth came near,
to the pulsing vein in her throat.
Many times the Universe stopped
like a dandelion seed afloat.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The hunter balked, stayed for a time,
tasted the joy of her sweet wine;
loving the feel of a drink new,
a gift, love, offered each of you.

Could he extinguish this pure light?
Could He reciprocate, cause fright?
Sorry, was the wolf deep within.
He was sorry; she’d let him in.

Sorry, he couldn't grow in her arms,
Sorry, he couldn't loose to her charms.
“Sorry,” on the tip of his tongue.
As he left her, unharmed, on run.

“Sorry.” said she, rising higher,
made stronger by her pure desire.
Like the ancient Phoenix, she rose,
on the wings of her loves fire.

And prayer floated back from above.
A prayer, sent with her hearts' love.
echoing his sentiment many ways.
“Sorry Love," She said. 

"May the Wolf find his Way.”

A Martyr





No heading to a quiet peaceful one world,
Civilisations in name of development,
Producing the deadliest,
aiming towards end of human race....

You kill me, I kill you,
I defeat and conquer,
Souls tranquil rest in grace,
While no living ponder....

When patriotism asks for a price,
the price is a valuable human life ...

Father's elderly shoulders bear his weight,
A mother's affection melts into her eyes,

When brother's heart simmers on low flame,
And inconsolable sister silently cries,

His loving wife longing to meet,
sits on his coffin, draped in white,

Little arms that embraced around his neck,
hold fire to lit the father's pyre,

Warmth of brimming human emotions,
dumped in cold blooded patriotic ice...

A martyr 
By own species...
Patriotism,
A dedication or
a frenzied outburst ?

Boundaries and freedom
Be mere words...
Man against man
Be not ultimate weapon...

A land that no one owns,
is that for what we fight?
Defence or brutal sentiment of war,
is there no looking beyond this sight?

Her golden locks glide grandly through our gladioli gilded garden gateway,
I gulp ginormous groundbreaking gulleys, 
telltale tear tsunamis cut cataclysmic currents,
raw reckless rupture of romantic render,
terror-stricken tangential tamper seal evidence
on lumpen lunge lonesome lachrymose levee 

Abandoned to anthemion arch ambience awash or afloat with apoplectic angst,
afterthoughts amazing amplitude aligns with an amorous abundance once opulent,
majestic memories marvel at 
mystic magnifying glass that multiplies mammoth moods,
separation from silken sensual strand sculpture in sapphire stone,
this stagnant somber seeker must supplant or suppress solitude’s silent shiver 

Without warning a wellspring whispered windfall weave from winsome woman,
wide-eyed wondrous wakeful wizardry woos whining wildcard wreck,
a cascade of charismatic crystal colour clusters trial and tribulation trauma that trembles deep inside,  
delightful dawn denouement dame drifts in dreamland dale,
“precious pining pristine pearl
I present panoramic passionate parameters to 
propitiate bitter broken-hearted baleful bond.”

Fantastic flourish found festoons for emotional evocative environment evolved,
illustrious intimate intrigue inlaid immediately,
Heather’s halcyon harmonic laces labyrinthine lavender love,
heart healing honeymoon handcraft
herald on high,
supreme sensei soulmates savour 
sentiment surreal beyond an iridescent infinite inkling

Voluntary Unconditional Surrender Woke

Voluntary unconditional surrender woke...,

Viz hitting yours truly,
when yokel egghead doth jinx
whereby ye cannot comprehend figurative
wimpy vainglory, unequivocally, tectonically,
smoldering resentments I stoke,

he doth bare his soul no joke,
no matter insight doth severely challenge
cyber surfing passersby, who attempt
to interpret courtesy
mental torture doth invoke

brutality, difficulty, futility gobbledygook,
heavily taxing your fifty 
plus shades of gray
I apologetically, grudgingly (ha),  
painstakingly, unwittingly... poke,

when mine broadcast 
red by anonymous folk
admittedly poetically trumpeting ambiguity
overlain donned with high falutin cloak
peace be with thee courtesy this bloke.

Electronic date/time stamp permeates
within copious, illustrious,
and porous corpus callosum
hemispheric spongy sinks

mister re: mysterious as Sphinx
validation indubitably backfires
invariably induces loosed
unicellular sized rat finks

cerebral blackout courtesy
one to many drinks,
envision sucker punched by
rockin sockin robots one named

Muhammad Ali t'other Leon Spinks,
or gordian knotted cognitive kinks
bajillion befuddled blinks,
albeit feeble analogy methinks
to render genuine concomitant

convoluted, mangled, twisted... (think
Möbius strip) sentiment
specifically linkedin with
sincere appreciation meant
pertaining to this gent

despite slight trepidation
as faux Geico petsmart agent
forced celibate nun sensical chap
considering entering convent
cloistered existence remaining

days of my life get spent,
where "15 minutes
might save me, not so shabby decent
15% or more on car insurance."

Paraphrase aforementioned Matt Speak
more easily succinctly understood,
versus gibberish as ????????
(i.e. the word Greek spelled in Greek)

essentially long in the tooth fella
self anointed literate sheikh
feeble flattered fungi with
average mushroom shaped physique
trends towards playfulness

in tandem with harmless streak
merely acknowledges how his unique
self expression oft times 
tongue-in-cheek
experiences giddiness at unsolicited
positive feedback versus he/she,

who doth bitingly, flagrantly,
outrageously, witheringly... critique
modesty misunderstood equivalent
of poetic (peekaboo) hide and seek  
to Dani body hook ken find me 
game to reveal me re: hide and seek.

To love and be loved
But not with just any love

I pray for you to love and be loved
With compassion and joy
Inspiration and imagination
Warmth and passion, a hunger
For the expression of adoration

I pray for you to love
With a heart that hopes
For the moments to be filled
With endless laughter
Glorious thrills
Lights in the eyes
Who are filled
With elation

I pray for you to be loved
With an encouraging heart
Someone who knows how
To give generously
Without a doubt
Filling the soul with music
Songs that bring out
The child in your heart

I pray that you love
With all of your heart
Through the good and bad
Through struggles and bliss
Throughout every sentiment

I pray that you are loved
With every blink of the eye
From someone who feels inside
That love is so alive it arises
And reaches for the stars
Collecting fireflies in Mason jars

I pray that you love
Completely and fully
With a sense of serenity
And fulfillment that comes from
Being blessed with tenderness

I pray that you are loved
So much that you smile
When your heart feels the blessing
Of having such a loving acceptance
Grace that knows no completion

I pray for you to love and be loved
Without any hesitation – completely
So that you’re fully aware of the twinkling
That fills the eyes like stars in the sky
Lighting up the earth with pure joy
A feeling that there is only love
To pour out from your overflowing soul

I pray you will always know LOVE

small trumpeter waves wash ashore
the sea grins with ease
children scamper on the beach 
                                like search lights that never rest 
                                                                in one place
buoyant surf beckons, 
               gravitational pull to choppy splashes

skin bronzed children rush the waves, 
                                       an explosion of liberation
                        their squeals to rival passing gulls
theatrics to run in and out of cold
    as hot rays of sun melt reserve
    instant sheen of glee
till frozen toes dig into warming sand

childhood innocence pristine
                         like polished shells on a shelf
                                in pink-white shades
                                spiraled secrets
                                of the surf spilling
                         ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

safe ashore
soothing presence
         adults watching 
                     the fresh faced playfulness 
aged side-step from currents' undertow
                     to sense risk 
                     from surf surges that toss one to the beach
                     lives in a rising swell
                                     wounds of immersion
                                     the burden of seasons
                      
                     July's brooding heat of sentiment 
                     to recall untroubled times
                     a tide into memory
                     when memory resists waves
                     like castles fortified in sand

                     till gulped by the sea

Kindness - POTD

POTD 2 July 2018

Humans are capable of ‘Changing their State’. At times, a stressful, negative fusillade can be encountered from an individual wishing to subvert a person for whatever reason.  

Lady Gaga so aptly describes this in her video clip above - and she should know through experience. 

Kindness is a sentiment no one can ultimately reject. 

Hard to do you say?  - It’s easy. 

Firstly, refuse your alter ego permission to react immediately. 
(Your alter ego is programmed to protect your from a ‘painful’ situation)

The brain is a Bio-computer and can easily be reset to ‘Default’ by breathing into your abdomen (not into your lungs), - hold and then exhale, each action performed slowly to the count of 6.  


Accusatory fingers pointing ~ eyes glowing hate
Seeds of venom spewing forth slanderous lies
Jealousy in all its inglorious green eyed splendor
Wool clothed wolves with undetectable smiles

Any tick of the clock it creeps up upon you
Evil plays no favorite it’s any man’s game
Seeming to push you up that stairway of victory
Then perniciously denigrates ~ disavowing any blame

Damned if you do ~ Damned if you don’t
Kindness perceived as weakness gets cast out the door
Tendencies to vacillate creates chinks in your armour
Resolutely walk the tight rope ~ lest your knees hit the floor

Eyes wide shut to the Evil all around us
Detach from this Chaotic Web in which we dwell
Be the Peace that ceaselessly penetrates the darkness
YOUR prerogative is to choose either ~ Heaven or HellPOTD 2 July 2018

My Testament

Just want to make a committment;
it ain't an argument
but it is to augment
my most valuable agreement
with my Father, Creator of the whole firmament.

It is not a compliment;
but I want to use it to complement
my most intimate sentiment
which I always break, at my own detriment
but now, I seek an eternal settlement.

In any event, Lord, I repent
of any involvement in violating the sacrament;
involving a present status of undefilement
that my unseen foes want to dement.

Lord, this day I write this testament
from the bottom of my heartm I relent;
never will I fall back into the dregs of bewitchment
but will press on; with this, I seek Your Consent
which is all I need that will my eternity with You cement.

Premium Member The Agony

Why do we have such trouble
          trying to explain
the height of ecstasy 
          and the depth of pain
when to you I am connected
          the blossoming of joy
where upon it being severed
          hollow emptiness deploy
 
 
I hear your cries in the vagaries of night
but your distance           prevents the healing of your plight
your pain has saturated     every cell in my soul
but only can the embrace           of Love make you whole
 
My heart aches          to hold you to my breast
to see you lifted          like a kings treasure chest
wish you could see          in mine eyes your own reflection
and take away that you aren't precious          misconception
 
I have never spent my time          tearing you apart
but sought those qualities         shining in your heart
who keeps telling you         with a derogatory voice
that you're valued less           than any other choice
 
I have loved you            from the day we first met
my promise until the end       I'll you not forget
I exerted to support you           every drop of energy
though would have rather     had you very close to me
 
There is no treasure           over you I cherish
count them as nothing    that my Love should perish
an espoused sentiment          will not a tummy feed
I had to work          to roof and clothe your need
 
The only family at the time          that cared for you
two grandparents          who tried to help me through
they saw to it       every school year you had clothes
and when I lost them          how my sanity then froze
 
I'm required to forgive          those who threw us away
and the father           who never supported you in anyway
also the men   who hide those who violate
until our God by Christ          does away with hate
 
Sometimes in Life          there is no indication
the path required                 will receive its vindication
I already know every place         that I have failed
and my own inadequacy    which upon I've railed
 
Someday perhaps          You will understand
Gods requirement     to care your needs demand
if I hadn't been alone          might've been easier to stand
and in myself          what I've lacked not to reprimand 
 
1 Timothy 5:8
But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith
 and is worse than an infidel
