Go Far

8/6/17


Success or failed
Heads or tails
The beginning or end of the trail
Have or haven't yet set sail


At times it may be so bizarre
Go ahead try to go far
Doesn't matter if you do or don't send a postcard
And if you own or work with a show car
I'll find you with or without sonar
Then break right through your own guard
Whether I did or didn't use a crowbar
Since you were involved in making folks starve
You will be dealt the most harm


Not a split second later
On either side of the equator
Send you to the so-called 'creator' 
Or 'maker'
For trying to endanger
The planet and nature
That is inexcusable and beyond major
Why is why you will soon be another one for an undertaker

Crown

"Crown"



My eyes are on you
Blue Sky
From where I stand
my eyes are grass green 

silver cut 
grass green 
sharp and hungry

My lips are persimmon sweet
ripe and dripping words 
thick and smooth 
like warm honey

My mind is open wide
like your eyes
Blue Sky

sharp 
sonar seductive
dark and strong
as black tea

echolocation 
bouncing against 
your body

wings beating
wet waves 
against your hot skin
Wings spread wide

I am Awake 
all yours
upside down 

Fever rides you
I break you in
wearing your crown
your skin glistening

From where I lay
my eyes are 
silver cut 
glass green

My eyes are on you
Blue Sky


(LadyLabyrinth / 2020)







"If music be the food of love, play on; 
Give me excess of it, that, surfeiting, 
The appetite may sicken, and so die. 
That strain again! it had a dying fall: 
O! it came o'er my ear like the 
sweet sound That breathes upon
a bank of violets, 
Stealing and giving odour..."
Act 1 Scene 1 
Twelfth Night




"Enough, no more.
'Tis not so sweet now as it was before.
O spirit of love, how quick and fresh art thou,
That, notwithstanding thy capacity
Receiveth as the sea, nought enters there,
Of what validity and pitch soe'er,
But falls into abatement and low price
Even in a minute. So full of shapes is fancy
That it alone is high fantastical."

Hannah Stodel

Hannah suffered from being bullied at school, 
So turned to the Royal Yachting Association;
Born with no lower right arm in 1985 cool,
She originally sailed a mirror, neat motion. 

Initially she didn't like disability sailing events, 
But Andy Cassell, a British Paralympic sailor, 
Directed her to them, so she put her cents, 
Into sonars, larger boats with a team factor. 

She joined with John Robertson and Thomas, 
And gave her all in the mixed sonar contests, 
Where she won 2 silvers and 2 bronze bases, 
And also 3 golds at the Disabled World jests. 

This was between 2003 and 2015 Melborne,
Starting in Athens, going on to Sonderborg, 
In Denmark, then to Perth, Australia born, 
And then to Medemblik in Holland, a gorge. 

Then came Weymouth which took them onto, 
Melbourne, and from there Rio they made, 
Where the trio created a ninth place portfolio, 
Which thrilled them nonetheless with blade.

Why I will always love the Radio



Always been a big fan of the Radio

TV well my Mum couldn’t careless

Would confess fonder of the caress

Tireless wonder finesse of “the wireless”

Always on ever since I was an embryo


In the Honda & then in the Nissan

Over yonder in gazebo we'd listen

Rejoice ponder familiar voice glisten

Our sonar condor no similar frisson


Views criss-cross across the entire globe

Stations who do news will inspire a probe

Rascals liar lair laid bare debacles disrobe


Swayed stoking stroking amuse every lobe

Kaleidoscopic topic musical made strobe

Dismayed why choose to be a radio-phobe?


Homegrown seeds sown cultural parlophone

Smoothed grooved & moved by that tone

Velvet timbres soothed never ever alone


Over years wistful relationships does hone

Not prone to drone or moan in the zone

Wink don’t think my love is overblown

Hits flits skits fits sits on its media throne


Well this is not my first Marconi rodeo

Tip top drops from all the latest crops

Greatest track stack never stalls stops

Daily diet from the quiet no not paleo


Word play riot foray from the Deejay

Won’t tip toe or be some Pinocchio

Hooray helps me get through the day


Ego glow feels like just for me.. my beau

Know with VPN zen then even when away

What it does bestow.. a hero like Horatio

Which's why I do crow so about the RADIO!

Superstitious

Sensing the atmosphere for omens.
Signs of impending, cusp and verge.
I ping and curl, scrape to drudge up-
internal program and hit send 
and hope for good vibes return "not the end."

I have become a lightless diode.
A buzzing lamppost in the neighborhood
of victimhood and it's backstreet node.
A useless burnt out core in off mode.
A robot running over castles
premade in the sand. 

I try to read between the lines, 
decrypt the Oracles plans behind,
the fulfilling jinx it has in store foe me.
Stars aligned.


A telepathy mainlining, a pulse headlining freakshow.
Of kinetic belonging, or safety net I used to abide in
long ago.
When the world had justice and overseer 
and endearment-
enthronement-thoughts of the faithful.

I long for the ether of a hint, 
graft me in with your marrow, splint, in the know.
Don't leave me high and dry,
Alone and crooked, wicked bent.

Odious clouds and signature mounds.
Terra-blyte your foretelling, 
Either a warning or a telling of blue skys color turning.
Ether, of any which way the wind blows in my mind. 
A private message, rather stalking., 
as it stands a topography cone of cold stand.
Your best made plans, for me
for the tasting, cast of shadow.
forecast, menacing.
Bound to be set in stone, found rather mocking.
Injected in-guest-guessing an after the fact thing, 
for me.

You read my fear as I fill
a prescription of
my self fulfilled prophecy,
 rolling the bones 
with fate's hands.
I hear there's power in the knuckles,
the joints, the suggestion of glands.

Just. Faint whispers,
whisking by
warning-arrows
with no flame-
no spark burning for me. 
Just a whisker filament, fading to the darkest
sharade of gray, hit parades.
To shade my own guilty sense of judgment. 
Of putting my trust in false things.
With their superficial gradient of monochrome;
night rainbows,
overlooking Styx river country home
aside a brick road leading all the way to Thunderdome.


My sonar/feeler brain finding it's way 
in the dark like a worm in the dung.
In someone else's element.
With no taste for mental or spiritual atonement.
Or the taste of Hope's spark on my tongue.

Stephen Thomas

Stephen used to have sprinter Richard Whitehead, 
As a team member when he did play ice hockey, 
Before he became a sonar sailor, the water to wed, 
In disability sport, the key was his sporting degree.

He played for the under 18 Wales rugby union team, 
Because he lives in Bridgend, from Ogmore Valley, 
Then he contracted meningoccal septicaemia, deem, 
‘Cos this amputated his legs to make everything ok. 

His ice hockey team did well coming third in Turin, 
And in Athens at the World’s his team got a bronze,
Then in Beijing they came sixth in that hot condition, 
But was disappointed at London by penalty neons.

Premium Member Scottish Lore

Haggis hype
Bagpipes bleating like unshorn sheep
Tartan theatrical - military tatoos
Scotland cloning Dolly the Sheep
National pride - Robbie Burns, poet, bard of Auld Lang Syne
Highlands of ancient rocks, rift vallies
         natural beauty, layers of worth

Loch Ness, geologic scooped, water serene
Nessie settled in depths, unseen
         sonar detection elusive
         marine monster of geeky charm
         conjured in gift shop puffery 
Nessie hat, Dragon like, tucked above protruding ears

In Edinburgh's historic streets
Whiskey fed men, burly, bearded
       strut
       wrapped in kilts
       traditional garb
       plaid, pleated, blessed, dressed
       in woolen scratchiness (avoid a public itch)
       
Breezy kilts wrap manly legs menaced by 
       thigh high thistles
       Scottish reach prickly
No matter
Scots men, image strong
      (ignore the thistles and street whistles)
       brimming swagger like malt liquor
       skirting scavengers in exploration peaks
       men in kilts (minimalism denied)
       protectors of the realm
       unafraid
       to let it all hang out



Poem composed: March 10, 2021

You Can Feel Them On The Wind



        Umbilical umbrellica of umbral phantanes
"Anjelsmoth Banjitreel Naievae"
These are the spasmodic words you cause in me, 
dare to ascertain in my exotic condition 
of your cusping contain

My darkroom carotodomy gastronomy 
of infrareds and lightwinds, rushing in, 
scouts of wrath seeking the four ends

As you pet pet pet care snap twang, mend 
"your pretty thing"

KarmaSupra-Natural endear- in me how spooning 
feeds bends at my thrashing and gnashing of teeth 
where your purring thickens in my auditorium, 
arouses condition,
echoes in sonar picture perfect verbatim, 
ruins in salvatore partition

Your light-wound 
Is it a seizure, a leash
Tourettes syndrome, speaking in tongues?
What is it called, may I know-
I need a name, give me your true name-
and what aim, what precision archery, 
what kind of game are you hunting?
Bondfires burning in the Valley of the Kings
Stuck Pig, squealing and turned by your spiteful 
rotisserie of baneful spit you leave to dangle 
as an apple on your lips?
Mountain Ram, braving the rocks and the heights carelessly of crash-ward depths?
Did I lock horns a moments long locked 
on a linger and caught in a snare 
of your primal mating ritual of Astuan?
Challenge your beckoning finger
talons of Vulcan Eagle to soar me to the heavens, 
how did we get here? 
Why must I be your icarus of daring -
savage amusement, knowing 
I cannot outstare the burning sun
The melting in your wax museum, 
peepshow coliseum, of the lost, you are the acost 
of my 'verted musement again and again and again

Libra is scaling taxation, purgatory perdeum owed- 
to the shades of Shangri la,
I'd say we, you and me are more than even, 
Nefertiri
Will our clashes ever die?
Our gashes ever sustain or lusts 
or take the darts from our eyes?
We a gleaming the cube and porpoising the rift 
on the lips of
evermore, Eigypsed in the swollen rains 
with chariots on fire

At the steppes of our estranged world, 
of the law, of desire

...You can feel them on the wind...

Premium Member Goodbye Sun

Dedicated to the Officers and crew of
USS Columbia (SSN 771)

Goodbye Sun

We are welcomed by men in 
immaculate whites
Through a hatch
we descend a steep ladder
into "The Last Slider"

From a narrow corridor we enter
into the brain and nerves
of this vessel- 
To my untrained eye the confusion
of cables overhead is bewildering
This black ship of stealth
tracks the world outside,
silently invisible itself

Rows of monitors, sonar devices
high powered periscopes
all with a myriad of buttons to push-
A marvel of technology -
yet men are the heart and soul
of this great ship

They are Submariners

They say goodbye to the sun
for months on end
Week after harrowing week they spend
day after day on grinding drills
where the only thrill is their daily meals
Systematic, methodical
They are human- in a ship of war
but a ship that exists for freedom

The Officers guide us through each section
The ship at rest has released them
from an endless commitment but
with a practiced eye
they are still attuned to every detail


Commanders almost prescient
so in step with every procedure
they can sense malfunction in their sleep
I notice the commitment to excellence
I note the pride behind the
preparations for our inspection
Blue curtains with the ships insignia
are drawn on bunk beds
Shiny copper engine parts, clean bright paint
reflects the values of those who
keep their vessel, ship-shape

Now I stand in the nose where the
weapons rest
The metal tubes look benign
for all the power they contain
Ironically in rows, directly above,
the crew's bunks are located-
in tiers of three -even sleep
 is regimented
Photos of family are the only
human touch in
this dark, black, whale 
of a vessel

The sense of duty for each individual
seems overwhelming
There is a spirit of complete trust
between them
This is a world for honorable men

"Victory is Silence"
I try to imagine daily living
the self-containment
the steely discipline
the choosing to go forward in the face of
uncertainty
Precision and man - morphing
The pact between Submariners is
absolute. 
They move as one.

Premium Member Their Pleasurable Pool

Hot summers day
By the swimming pool
My love and I
Drooling for cool

Splash, were in
Mucking about
She's teasing me wicked
Flashing in pout

Underwater we dive
Chasing lovers
Touching, clinging
Revealing each other

Naked we are
In delightful swim
A sense of want
She and him

They swim to each other
Their lips meet
Bobbing, kissing
As their bodies greet

The serpent rises
To her lair he seeks
Receptive desires
Swimming pool deep

Pert she becomes
Piercing his chest
Excitement of two
On he she rests

Waves of delight
Caress each other
Reaching out
From their kissing smother

Harmonious joys
Their sonar sound
In loving grind
Translucent found

Resonating passion
Surface carried
Adventurous hands
So loving, varied

Their internal flumes
In joyous mix
Their kissing caps
Eyes transfixed

From the pool they climb
Each other they dry
Still absorbed
Together they lie
