Premium Member Olookaylani

Tropical, ocean tides, that flow and seek
Blue sea sparkles resplendent with foam peaks
Soft music strums, magicked the stars delight
To shimmer and wink in the sky, so bright

In to the water, a fisherman falls
Death stalked and beckoned to the coral halls
Sweet Olookaylani, you came for me 
Siren mermaid, sleek, glorious beauty

I muse in you, my love, do you hear me?
Ukulele sounds drift enchantingly
Are you the light that flashes yes, I sea
Sweet Olookaylani, come back for me

Moon glows, bioluminescence, salt sprays
Love longs, warm breezes, blow kisses your way

Premium Member Giants Afoot-

"Lo, there be Giants under foot
In just a moment I'm going to face my Giants
 I am just an ant on a hill Looking around me for the foot of danger 
I hear the swift sounds of the wind 
As the foot comes down around me almost on top of me
 I running flea I let my six legs compel me 
Scaffolding like a leaf in the wind I flee 
Beware the foot of the giant don't become complacent compliant
Be defiant 
For if he steps on you 
You're through it's the end of your world our world
 I decided myself to hide in the cabin caverns beneath the Sun the moon the stars Disguise tunneling away from disaster and let not the monster giant be my master"

Bridge Over Troubled Water

My troubled waters ran deep.
I could not sleep.
My heart throbbed in awful pain.
Then you were on the phone again.

From Australia twice a day.
Every day that fateful month.
I hovered between life and death.
How much worse could it get.

Soothing, comforting sounds you made.
Saying "Please don't be afraid."
Loving me more than words could say.
You build my bridge day by day.

Blood is thick and you knew me well.
I was close to the edge, you could tell.
"Stay alive for my sake!" you begged.
In that moment I was saved.

Beautiful sister I owe my life to you.
Now my troubles are so few.
I crossed your bridge onto dry land.
On that day you grabbed my hand.

I Am the Warrior

In a time when the oceans drank up the land

and kings ruled the earth by the warriors hands



The souls of millions embellished the battle

Minions in armor mounted and saddled 



Death came swiftly with the swing of the blade 

Children forged in blood the way real men were made 



Weakness and fear were trampled into the ground 

and the clashing of steel overtook the battle cry sounds 



but as time goes on needless to say 

the warrior is no longer needed today 



I see only cowards being portrayed 

Vessels without honor where emptiness strays 



The definition of man has changed completely indeed 

but the warrior remains the last of my breed 



The warrior remains........... remains in me 

I am the warrior

Who Seperated Lives

Have you ever seen the twlight,
Beyond horizon,
Above the reachable eyes,
Having stood same for all
Of all around the world.
For all it's veins longing for the sight.
Have we ever lived soulfully-
For all the days until the end.
Does nature ever divided lives,
By differentiating its presence,
And distinguishing it's color from one to another person.
But why does the world divides lives for ever
Caste, Creed , Color and Race.
Filling veins with gush of hatred-
From one to another
And filling hearts with selfishness.
Do we to care for the loss of one another
If we are rich enough to see the twilight
If the others ever cry at the sky
If the others die for the lack of living lines.
Should we all care for our neighbors
If they face a difficult living.
If we see the vision of the world
Should we all live alike and lead;
Behind us all of timely massacres
By managing lost lives beyond our walls;
It is possible to reach the vision of our lives-
If we foresee the torture to other losses too.
"come with us" we say to the world
Behind us which lacks in knowledge,
Which leaks in it's construction of goodness.
Sound world perhaps
Sounds our health,
Sounds our happiness,
Helps us in our inevitable future.
It is possible to reach the sky
At least for once
For all of the world and it's men
To feel great
For having reborn this day!!


Anna the Prophet

I have this friend; a really great guy.
Always happy; always spry.
And then one day; he stopped and sighed.
His lips moved twice and his smile died.

I said "What's wrong", and I got real worried.
Until he told me of his ex who scurried.
We both got mad and it got mean,
but before we left;
nick-named his queen.

At first I listened to what he said.
But soon the swears had reached a head.
Only now I knew what he would scoff at.
We both yelled "Down!" to
ANNA THE PROPHET.

She talked about Jesus and of his dance.
Talked about locust and took a chance.
Shocked and surprised with each worried glance.
Made strangers as fast as United States' France.

She said let's be friends and left him alone.
Still calls him for coffee by way of the phone.
And if this sounds sweet, special or kind.
It's to drive her to work or she'll lose her mind.

My friend is a Saint and won't turn her down.
Hurting her feelings would knock off his crown.
And when they drive by, you'll tease them for sure.
But not for a coffee nor being too *****.
For turning their heads, in light of a tear.

My friend is a man; so don't be his judge.
All of his stories come with great grudge.
I know he is weak and tell him to stop it.
Not for a woman.

Saturday's Blizzard

There's little or nothing to do,
it's a February rainy day,
Danny molds Batman out of brown clay;
snow is melting after Saturday's blizzard...
I spot a hopping lizard
chase a scary hoopoe!

I strum on my steel guitar
a new melody unique and sad... 
who knows it might be a symphony
with the simplest melody;
I'll add lyrics, thinking they are swords
that scare and defeat vicious warlords!
I play it on a snowy night in January
when no sounds are heard
and thoughts aren't muffled...
by the presence of a gentle wind 
that doesn't scatter the snow and goes far 
to caress with its cold breath a jealous star!

There's little or nothing to do
on this rainy February's day,
this guitar keeps me company
and strumming its strings,
it gets me through this long Saturday's blizzard;
nobody will wake up: they are chasing dreams,
nobody will see my monotony...
but Jessica who listens sends me a Kudo!

The Weight of Whispers


Wondering 
Up and down
  The halls  
With each fresh step a new class  
Filled with sounds of papers being passed out
  Students on their phones  
Pencils under too much pressure, 
and Groans of laptops
 As I continued to walk past each class
  I heard them
  My head started filling up
Filling up with all the possible things I could have done wrong 
Now with each not so fresh step  
Being a little heavier  
Eyes 
All on me  
When I walk by they become a lot louder then they were before  
Why are there voices weighing me down? 
Why do I care?
I know I have done nothing wrong. 
So why with each step, did my feet feel heavier and heavier 
When I finally made it to where I was going  
I turned back  
To look into the eyes that were connected to the voice 
 But when I turned back  Nothing  
Not a single pair of peering eyes on me  
Not even the faintest whispers 
 Everything just  
Gone

Music To My Ears

When my beloved lost his battle bravely fought for many years
All alone in deep despair each day I drowned in my own tears
Then one spring morn, just before dawn, I heard the sweetest song
A blackbird singing his morning chorus, such joy not heard for so long

The song he sang had many words, expressing his love he waxed lyrical 
I felt my beloved had sent me a gift; it was truly my morning miracle
And sometimes during summer evenings for his final curtain calls
His singing calms my mind like soothing sounds as water falls

He came to me a week ago, such a welcome springtime surprise
For winter time so dark and lonely a season I often despise
I had missed him so through winter’s snow and anniversary tears
Now thrilled my morning miracle brings music to my ears

Traditional Format

Compassion’s finger strums another note,
he listens as the angels start to sing,
recalling lines from what apostles wrote,
indwells the spirit held by Heaven’s king.

Succinctly spoken leaving soul in tune,
the gifts we need are never under trees,
mosaic mustard seeds lit by the moon,
aspires our gaze and prayers on bending knees.

Submits himself to love and sounds of grace,
mistrust no longer drowns and mutes his heart,
united song with Christ, him to erase
so many sins in mercy to impart.

In essence, life and hope beyond today.
Contrasts the world, as it dissolves away.
