There Is But One Word

Warning - Mature.

Sweet night, a blanket made from scented space - holds this would-be poet in its arms.

Tightly - yet with care.  Caring - yet with passion.  Smiles her heart.  Trembles her dreams.  Hides them silverine in moments indescribable.  Night caresses her spirit with unspoken thoughts, echoing from places foreign to her understanding. 

From time taken by liberties, he waits, stubbled chin resting in broad cupped palm.  He longs for her. Needs in the flame of passion's roar to fly that time long laid in stone.    

Clouds drift.  Days flee.  Eons wreak weather to endless confusion.  Creatures fall within time.  Fossils lie crushed in their past.  Ocean drowns land.  Land erupts from water. Breathing rents the air.  One step.  A second.  Knees buckle.  She waits in her wondering why and what. 

Hidden within cloud where the highest mountains touch the sky, the man sits.  Alone, he is, wrapped in silence.  He groans, wanting.  Weeps.  Prays to the gods, calls to the elements.  Weeps more.  

A sound, gentle, soft said, drifts space.  Man hears.  Wonders.  Frowns.  Understands. Wanting becomes pain.  He groans.  He moans.  He laughs!  Somewhere, she sleeps!   

A rippled breath  gasps my palm,

floats 'tween fingers flexed,

darts space behind my ear, laughs my neck

caressing thoughts I've not yet dreamed..

what language now,

what meanings, what delight,

pray tell? 

you touch me with a hint of
honeyed power -

oh sybarite -
wrap me in heat so high I sizzle in my sleep..
look me.. sheet rushed aside I wait,

I moan, I sigh
to float 'tween fingers formed too much,
intentions still unsure but now.. oh now..   

you lean  forward
closer..
closer..
inhaling deeply..
sensing my gender
sighing -
sighing yet more

until.. 
temptation dared
and passion flared

I soar, I fly,

thereby -

thereby
however perceived
evol becomes reality
turned inside out upon its cap of what you will
emotions motion..

tumble in 
turn and 
turnabout,
spinning words, knitting language into shape..

explorers of such subjects
binding heart to hope and - yes
exotic inamorati all, 
lie bed or floor or chair or shore
let loose that secret word
that spell - that lost civility
from A past where and when

when

one word
once found
once felt
once shared
was is forever..

love

Darkest Fear

I wake to see a wall
Made of matter so bright
That it's pitch black
First I see the gray wisps
Floating and hovering above the mass
Then I see the arms
They are red
They pull away from the dark mass
The dark mass that is it's body
And they reach
The arms grab all they can
Pulling everything into the hazy black
Consuming all
Stepping closer, I am confronted
I do not run
Overcome with fear
Then I understand
First I smell it
The smell of meat
On a barbeque
Roasting in a fire
Then I see it
The bodies of people
Scattered across the floor of my room
How did I not notice this?
Instead of running
I try to stand
But I am already too weak
And I sink to my knees
Fear is up
Terror is down
Fear is right
Terror is left
Fear is inside
And terror is outside
I know I can not escape this fate
So I wonder how
How did this black haze get such 
strength? 
It started off small
Growing bigger with each person
Every victim it killed
They each were scared
Fueling it
Until they burned in the fire
Causing their fear to go into the air
Then spreading like a disease
Catching me
I caught it
I got sick
Sick with fear
But I have to admire
This haze's fury
It goes on without end
Ambitious to get us all
And it does
It will
Eventually
Then I realize something
If I run from my fear
I will run forever
Never getting away to a safe place
Then I develop a new emotion
Curiosity
I want to learn more about this
So I put my hand in my bed
Using all the support I can get
And I stand
I hear a soft hissing
As I know it is talking
I just don't understand yet
I want to learn this language
Leaning in, the hiss and sizzle
Become clearer
Louder and louder
Beginning to make sense
The arms reach out again
This time they come for me
They grab me
They start to pull
I am tempted to resist
To get away
But I know the others
The dead cowards
They tried to run
And just look where they are now
So I decide I will be different
I want to be a first
So when the wisps lick my ankles
I jump
Right into the black mass
Into the arms
They hug me
I feel the warmth
The fire is bright now
And I understand it
The fire wants me
I let it have me
And then
I burn, too.
I wake to see a wall
Made of matter so bright
That it's pitch black
I recognize this
And now I understand
I have to run.

White Noise

Blat , Blat
Sporadic gunfire firing back
Our way of life is under attack
And what I mean by that 
Is protect the Oil Refineries 
Protect Democracy freedom of speech 
Protect the Banks & Institutions 
Call the order to Fire Back at Will
Give them a taste of their own medicine 
Shoot to Kill
Kill Bill
&
Jack & Jill

Whoosh,  Whoosh
Mother nature's dirt is swirling on the breeze
Red Sand
Burnt Yellow's 
Orange Haze
The winds ablaze with Corparl Punishment 
Doled out by the Ministry of Environment 
If 1 is to believe the Kamikaze Pilot
Who just punched another hole into the earth's atmosphere 
Put down your Aerosol cans 
And travel bans for Airplane's 
And Rocket's 
Unless there Private hired in the name of
Spreading the Gospel according to
Renewable cleaner Green Energy 
Ride your bike not your car

Drip , Drip
Torture Tap
Pop the Champagne Cork 
Who cares if the reservoir runs dry
Let the poor drink cake
What else would the poor child have to fill up her day
If moved closer no longer was it a chore to collect water
Sell them gun's instead to play with

Sizzle,  Sizzle 
Bacons at an all time low 
It's now even on the Big Mac
Triple Stack 
For Beef is apparently now very bad 2
Lest us all become Vegetarian 

Father was a Coal Miner 
Out of work and down on his luck
Since progress decided to shut down the mine
Bad choice of Career 
How is Daddy now going to pay for his Beer & 40 Fags

His Father before him was an Old Fashioned Cowboy
Driving Herds of Cattle across the wild plains
Powered by Bourbon and Bean's 
Rancid and saddle sore
So too 1 day did progress for him come a calling 
Putting an end to his self worth and way of life
And with it his family taken on his journey into Alcoholism 
A violent man he became 

Relics of a certain decade 
Products some say Collateral damage 
When the Wheel's of Industry Stop
The Silence is deafening 
It's like the sound of a knife falling in an gunfight 

Shhh , Shhh
Quiet Please
The Library is now in Session
And so begins the Mine for Knowledge 
Speak of only Truth ,  Hope and Courage 

Don't be taken in 
Don't make the same mistakes History has taught us
What has War ever brought us but death
Fight rather for us than against us

Why be a Tourist ?

When you could be a Guide ? ?

Striking It Rich

Never attempting of striking it rich,
whenever my cravings give me another itch,
I'm used to a quite and simple life:
enjoying good food and sharing a coldl glass of wine 
when relatives and friends drop by;
why be someone you weren't meant to be?
Any millionaire around the globe,
sipping champagne desiring what I love?



With my beach cap pulled down, 
so that my short hair doesn't sizzle and change color,
as my light skin turns to a golden tan;
yes, I thank God for a breeze cooler than a fan!
Whole afternoons are spend on this pristine beach,
with a waterfront that a Californian will envy,
to melt away that old cliche' of vanity;
come down here...the East Coast is a wonderful shore! 



Low class, middle class and the upper one,
all share this unquenchable feeling,
to lay on the salty sand and begin to dream;
Am I talking non-sense or tackling the zest for living...
that this society has been unawarely denying??
 


Striking it rich is a temporary fancy,
imagining the possessions money will buy,
and many untaught temptations will materialize;
some will die by snorting deadly coke,
others squandering it on mistresses and hookers...
God, how the human spirit is corrupt  and consumed by lurid
and unhealthy desires that once were out of reach!  
And hopefully someone will ponder this,
to wake up to this gruesome, and parlous reality
and spend his or her fortunes wisely! 



What good people will do for the betterment of the deprived ones?
First give them love from the heart, then help them financially...
that's the smart way caring, of planning to strike it rich;
what's the use of looking at your glittering gold,
and not giveit  away to help anyone whose thirst and hunger
show in the sunken eyes...waiting for someone to feed their bellies!



If I ever stroke it rich, I wouldn't be here enjoying this sunshine, 
but I'll get out there and search for the needy and helpless ones,
and stop the selfishness and madness that money provides;
if I share my good fortune with them, others will follow my example,
and a real change will take place...no poverty everywhere in our world!
Follow me, and search for everyone alive...to give them back their precious life!

Anytime Is Good For Loving

Anytime is good for loving .



                                It is a good time to love 
                                now with the mountain peak 
                                bulging forward steely 
                                and the late afternoon sun 
                                piebalding out a pink 
                                like a body flushed 

                                It is a time good for love 
                                spread out over a table 
                                tomatoes red-cheeked
                                against aubergines 
                                knobbed purple 
                                with the sizzle of unions, 
                                garlic and a trace of cloves   
                                cornering the giddy secret 
                                of detergent 
                                somewhere 

                                Love would be good  
                                as  the garden- corner darkens 
                                around the rose`s virginal white 
                                and the fathomless mouths 
                                of the hibiscus trumpets   
                                simply red 

                                Timely would good love come 
                                with the gibbous head 
                                of the moon bulbing 
                                over the mount 
                                over the still mouth of the rose 
                                rooting in the dark flesh 
                                of the brooding black earth... 

                                Surely ...                               
                                It`s a good time for love 
                                like any other.

Four Stages of Fire

1. INCIPIENT
the smell of burning body helps me sleep at night
i'd rather ignite this spark in my stomach than shove bread down my throat
singe this hollow home
choke these lungs with bone dry soil so nothing can grow
and maybe they brainwashed me
or i did it to myself
but all of my dreams lead to being skin and bones
the humming of crackling wood whispers 
"starve"
i listen
the humming of crackling body whispers 
"this is all your fault"

2. GROWTH
this skin is getting too hot to live in
i, the embodiment of a fire breathing dragon
i hunch over
choke on second hand smoke
and misconceptions
there are so many ways to feed into desperate
too many ways to swallow yourself whole
i let this esophagus sizzle and cry
i lie arms spread naked on the bathroom floor catching my breath
a slab of meat thrown onto a cackling grill
fatty and full of blood
sized up and bitten into
violated by my own opinions of beautiful
where bitter
where acidic
where a dysmorphic enemy does not linger
nibbling at my tonsils


3. FULLY DEVELOPED
i am engulfed in flames
these charred hands stain my body with words like 
"bony"
like "thin"
like "sick"
this flesh can't escape the freezing creeping up on my being
the trembling of limbs
the chattering of teeth 
is a physical trophy
"congratulations!" you are one flicker away from broken
winter almost melts me
christmas and thanksgiving
piles of food fresh like flesh mocking me
rotting in front of me
a mirror image of my organs and intestines
abandoned and squeezed
some sort of puzzle 
pieces twisting and breaking
i sit quietly
they ask "aren't you hungry?"
i don't tell them that it is too late for this fire to be put out
or how often i dream of drowning

4. DECAY
a guilty arsonist
i toss my lights and my matches
sweep up the ashes
what is left of my home
and i start building
i blow out the candles
shove my hands into the wreckage and chew it up
i won't spit it out this time
i fill myself up
i introduce myself to my reflection
say,
"hello. i am healthy"
say,
"i've missed you"
a phoenix flies over a body she burned
a city she burned
a world that she burned
says 
"go. go find out what happiness tastes like"

Premium Member Perfect Pancakes For Contest

Oh gosh, what memories pancakes brings back to me …
As a child I used to make them every week for my dad
He adored them but I never ate them! It’s been many years since I made them 
Lets see if I can remember the recipe for the batter

Carefully weigh out 4 oz plain flour, add in ¼ teaspoon salt
Sieve this into a bowl. Make a well in the center
Then carefully add three medium sized eggs 
Do make sure they are fresh and you scoop out any bits of shell
You don’t want to find anything crunchy in your pancakes!
Use a hand whisk or electric whisk to incorporate the eggs then
Gradually add ½ pint milk (or milk and water combined)
Whisk until you have a silky smooth batter with no lumpy bits
Now the important thing is to put the batter in the fridge
Leave it to rest as long as possible ideally at least ½ hour 

Then you need a medium sized frying pan, drizzle in a little cooking oil
Heat the pan until it is fairly hot but not smoking 
You don’t want to have clouds of acrid smoke and have to ring the fire brigade!
Pour in a little of the batter  It will start to sizzle and splutter
Tip the pan to spread the batter and make a thin coating
Cook until the underside of the pancake is golden brown
And the top is covered with bubbles
Now comes the fun bit…
You can simply flip the pancake over to cook the other side
BUT if you are daring you can try tossing it in the air …
hoping it doesn’t stick on the ceiling!
Disaster can strike if the pancake misses the pan and ends up on the floor…
I was never brave and always flipped the pancake over
Once the pancake is golden brown on both sides slide it onto a warm plate
My dad always ate them sprinkled with sugar and zesty lemon juice
But you can use any topping you desire even savoury ones 

Dad would roll his pancake and eat it in slices
Whilst he was eating the first pancake 
I would continue cooking until the batter was used up
I’d make sure I added a little oil before cooking each one
You don’t want them to stick
If you are making a batch of pancakes you can cover them
Put them in a warm oven until you have finished making them all
Enjoy!

No objection to cold weather, but

No objection to cold weather, but...

ah jest wanna boomerang 
back into the womb
versus being threatened 
courtesy beastie boy gang
beating me to a pulp 
after accurately discerning 
being scared less pang
suddenly imagining myself 
buffered, and buttressed 
within zen Sibyl 
prophet table Chinese philosophy 
known as Yin and Yang.

No matter birth canal
long since got breached,
countless scores of years
I quickly grew
impossible mission to plunge
(think Nestea commercial)
headfirst back into utero,
haint got any got any
handy dandy blues clue,

nonetheless said wish
I broach to you,
whether ye reside in Baku
Guangzhou
Kalamazoo
Kathmandu
Peru
Thimphu
Timbuktu.

Sudden pang roared awake
nsync like blazing saddles
hot enough to sizzle steak
torpid, humid, and
arrid extra dry to take
breath away analogous vacuumed
courtesy fire breathing dragon
chilling parched scales in great lake
already this doubting

Thomas doth hanker
for global warming yore
less than six months ago
geesh for goodness sake,
when Earth did bake
triple digit temperatures
no thirst could slake,

thus intravenous feeding
in tandem with trach
still inadequate to brake
yours truly did pine... for chill
against dehydration, ah only to wake,
when came the morrow,
where Jack and Jill
sweat buckets, this

before they climbed uphill
akin to madding crowd
clamoring, thirsting, gulping...
every last drop
essentially emptying damn
immense reservoir spill
futilely swilling parched lips till...

Old cranks shrugged off
exceptionally hot weather, and did scoff
younger generation's creature comforts
old geezers recalled
back in the day
as laddies and Tom boy

lassies did slough
no trespassing signs
skinny dipping after they shuck off
clothes giddily swinging
atop highest bough
playing hooky averse

learning would ever payoff
pitying other kids in school
former gathering rosebuds...
around lunchtime hunger
relishing stealing stroganoff
under nose of Mister Groff,

one former German World War II,
who colluded with American "boys"
despite heavily decorated luftwaffe
and posthumously honored
Veterans day getting last laugh!

Evil Comes From a Mother

I was so young and i mowed the lawn,
Whoever thought it was us that id grow to mourn,

We hit it off well and truely too quick,
You became pregnant, a son i would pick,

We broke up when he was 6 months, you said it was time,
You moved in with your parents, and i stayed at mine,

Our dogs were so big but they just got the scraps,
And skinnier and skinnier till they almost died in my lap

It broke my heart and it was so hard to deal with,
But our love was not real it was all just a myth

We were engaged and so happy back then,
you told me you werent coming back till god only knows when

Two and a half months have passed since you moved back home, 
And im waiting and waiting just like a garden gnome

I was finished and i knew that it was all done,
So now it is your turn to go and have fun,

We screw and we screw but dont tell your folks,
I know you dont care so you ask for more pokes,

Your parents got into your ear and caused you to be miserable,
Our relationship will not rekindle there is no more sizzle,

So more and more garbage you will get fed,
Now you wont let me see my boy, i was misled,

It hurts me so much but you just dont care,
So long as the child support gives you something nicer to wear,

We book in for mediation, it was over at sunshine,
And you lie about everything as if i had done time,

You are being unreasonable you are not just,
So they say to do leagally assisted you know its a must,

We book in and it wont be for several months now,
But you cancel 2 weeks before your a damn evil cow

So i go out to Abbotsford to get four new piercings,
But when i come back no son or any listenings,

Im unreliable for my son this is what you say,
Now i cant even see him no time of the day,

I want a dna test to make sure you were true,
But then you get angry and dribble some poo,

When i speak to some solicitor to get this fixed
He says no worries throw 6 grand in the mix

Since ive seen my boy its been over a year and half
The time the moments ive missed out on god i hate this path

For the pain she has caused, i should have worn a rubber,
It really was that simple not to make this thing a mother

Premium Member Voyage

Written: March 28, 2024 For Constance La France Contest

Quote: (The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.) Marcel Proust
 
                   __________________________________

Slumber unwinds within crinkled cellophane,
Enigmatic visions come to life and sustain.
Geometrical shapes skin to pyramids, expand,
Cruising fairies sing through shimmering sand.

Hey, Captain! Ferry sails across any hurdle,
A searing streak splits the sky as a starved squirrel.
A prize is won, dock shuts, and crowds cheer,
At night, memories of you come back so near.

Delicate spiderwebs hang as stars in the sky,
Mozart hands waltz ivory piano keys sigh.
Galaxy emits a lambent, milky-white light,
Tapestry Highways sails by my a quilted sight.

A cosmic queen embarks on a cynosure journey,
Slicing over a glistening ocean during night mercy.
Colorful pathways in the sky are formed by sea swirls,
Mermaids glide fluffy waves of glistening pearls.

Behold a sturdy sail, a tough and bold ship, oh heart! 
As bleak as the gnomes at dawn, it's time to depart!
On deck, the skipper is fierce and red-dripping,
Meanwhile, my soul lingers in frigid buds snipping.

Captain! Rise and hear chimes; to you, a flag raised,
You gained fights and flights, and doves amazed. 
The ship has sailed safely and fulfilled its voyage,
He gulped distance, sea, time, and buoyage.

It was a time of jubilation and feelings of love,
During spell hour, they shone brightly from above.
Dived in the chaotic bliss of love, this waned,
In a misty past, the spirit soared and stained.

Rivers rush down slopes, and peaks loom tall,
Rafters ride via waterfalls as bridges never fall.
Deer graze in fields, and craftsmen, work away,
Sweets and meals sizzle on burner, made to stay.

Chili, pasta, beans, and maize are all we need,
The Alpine guy eats grits, Angus, and meat, indeed.
Riders hold on tight with flying manes and fish dives,
West Virginia alpine star twinkles and jives.
