Gratification of Senses Adagietto

His tears faded away
with the most concerning
image of tommorrow ever
seen
modern usage of a Jollux
man. Spearing to victory
or so he seemed
as he speared up
 meat and cabbages
for the supper he
had planned.
It would exclude his wife
who wished him
to look to something more
healthy
as he would only smile
at the sight of fat and richly
savoring treats.
He used the term
Beef-witted to decribe her
as she only liked to
shame him
might she find support against him
with snoutflairs
aannd consorted people
"those who wished us apart:
mind you they seek tresure
and lack the concern for your
well being"
he told his wife as she
looked lustinhly at the folk
on the hot busy beach.
" might a need to be apart
from me find you with the studs
here watching you
My Darling?"
She frowned and spoke of his
wonderings as trival and him
as crazy: knowing that he
only wished her to
trusted and true to him

Hard Words

A picture I will paint
	a story I will tell
and make it perfectly clear
	exactly what I would have it be

lines drawn straight and hard
	words that images show
misunderstanding cannot be
	exactness is the key

planes with corners square
	angles sharp that define
colors I will state
	that I would have you see
	
sky of hummingbird blue
	grasses of the emerald green
wind biting frigid cold
	sharp sunlight spearing down

cinnamon fills the air
	flowers are Jasmine’s and Rose
soft grasses tickle the feet
	birds songs clear do sing

hot black ribbon of asphalt shown
	mirages dancing in the heat
rumbles of roars far away
	wind does ripple curled hair

no room to imagine
	no sight for you to see
what images with in you are
	there is no room to be

you will see what I would show
	imagine not what you would see
my colors of red blue and green
	not your favorites be

my scents you will smell
	my favorites and everything
there is no room for you
	your imagination lies dead

Ebony blackness of cold iron
	hard strength of titanium be
winds that rip through tender flesh
	sharp knife’s the cut the mind

of your thoughts I do not care
	or of what you would see
your imagination I care not of
	or of what you would see

somehow this cannot be
	this I cannot be
these words I’ll never write
	it is not what I would be

soft wonderings half spoke of
	hints of sights unseen
leafs carried upon the breeze
	to wherever you would be

I’ll let your imagination flow
	your images fill your mind
what ever you would see
	I’ll try to lead you there

Premium Member Crossing a Continent At Night

Down a runway skybound
to cross a continent, 
see from a window
a city fall away
with bright beads 
strung along a coast,
then turning inland, 
clumped townships 
shrinking to solitary lights
sunk far apart
into hours
of featureless dark. 

Disconnected
from the earth,
let the mind paint
the blank distances 
and wander landscapes 
of Namatjira's hills
and ghost gums 
and photographic stills
of outback towns
and along railway lines 
spearing the horizon 
where a big sun 
hemorrhages 
into an evening sky.
 
Then settle back
and allow a familiar picture 
to arise from behind closed eyes
of light patched office towers
and stacked apartments
with tall derricks 
puncturing the night
as it slides by
in soundless haste.
And way below, 
playing out on some
inner screen, follow
stuttering road signs
and arteries of red tail lights
leading to narrow alleys where,
as if funneled into an ear,
you hear the sound of sirens 
being dragged
along hot, crowded streets.
In time, let the noise abate
until faces dissolve and life
slurries back into a thick
air conditioned hum.

Doze a little
then try to unpack 
the images collaged
across the hours.
Nothing adheres.
What had once 
held together seems  
to fray and fall apart. 
Feel a slight unease
as the engines begin
to throttle back and comence
the slow descent. There,
bubbled on the horizon,  
see the glow of city lights
drawing in a converging arc
of flights like moths.



Notes.

Namatjira refers to great Australian and First Nation painter,
Albert Namatjira (1902 - 1959) famous for capturing central Australian landscape including the iconic Ghost Gum, a species of Eucalyptus tree. His work speaks to a deep spiritual connection to the land, something held by his people for well over 40,000 years.
Poem refers to flight across the continent of Australia, East to West, approx. distance 4000 km.

Premium Member So Many Personalities

So many voices, some pulling, others pushing, one spearing.
I feel the spear, and know she will not stop until I acknowledge her
What is it? 
What do you want?
She gives me some directives knowing I will rebel 
and rebuke them.
She never gets her way.
She wants me to do things she knows I will not do.

I hate medicines! I tell her. They do not affect me like others.
Leave me alone! But still she persists. Two are pulling, one is pushing.
She is screaming, shrieking, wailing, keening in my ear.
I take a couple of blues and a pink, 
to try and fool her.
She knows what I am about.
For she is in my mind’s folds and recesses.

Another personality shows up.
A new one.
What the hell.
I thought I knew them all.
Crap! Crap! Crap! Crap! Crap!
My hands are shaky.
If she is another spearing one, 
I give up.
I cannot do this any more.
I have tried too long already.

I am Sherenna, she says, seductively.
Hell no. I already got rid of Dixie, my other nymphomaniac.
I close my eyes, trying to drown them all out.

Premium Member Ghost Orchid, Violet



"Ghost Orchid, Violet"

plumes of purple blue
like a burning bruise, spear through my mind
the heart waits for the fall Evermore
with open palms it’s bright core forever calls

the light is blinding like a Ghost 
and it holds its fresh petalled orchid stretched out to me, 
petals opening the folds of a mind’s ever present dream unfolding
from a shrouded poem, dark embers brightening, a small story glitters

the essence of roasted paper rises
clean and sharp it turns each guache passage
you can hear the pages flip nonchalantly
notes of ink lift the senses like a seductive perfume

plurals write their orchid meanings stretched 
volatile pink yet vulnerable across the page
like a revolution violate turning slowly, then,
lights dim and flicker with terrible speed

plumes of purple blue, notes sing blue purple
like a bruise, spearing through my mind
piercing the heart that waits for its fall in strange accords
with open palms the bright core immersed in its evanescence calls

perceived at the shorter end
of the visible light spectrum
a shade of purple with a blueish hue 
turns to you, stares you full on

the watchers behind their screens
sit and squander it all
they that think they know it all 
bathed in virtuous better off than all

in the end Love 
like a ghost orchid calls 
like light for lost ships
from some distant shore

violet, it shines,

like the heart burning 
its hot bright flame
that dream 
that calls you further in 



Candide Diderot. ‘25

Sunlight Breaks

a cold bitter wind
	with stinging drops of rain
bits of bitter cold
	blowing into my frozen face

slowly my steps go
	up the hill of man-made stone
my warmth is torn from me
	by the coldness of the world

steel gray clouds race overhead
	fleeing upon the wind
hiding warmth of the sun
	all lies frozen about me

crystals of ice with cutting pain
	now blow into my face
and the wind more bitter now
	does cut me to the bone

dry brown leaves skitter by
	with the sound of tiny claws
borne quickly upon the wind
	their life all stolen away

dirty snow in shadows lie
	about clumps of brown grass
scattered across the land so wide
	where my path does lie

my steps do slowly drag
	to the summits peak
where my weary eyes gazed down
	to the long road that before me lies

the way twists back and forth
	no straight path is for me
slowly across frozen land I must go
	seeking where I would be

before me does the land fade away
	under frigid gray clouds
that the road I pass upon
	continues on below

in the distance I can see
	bright light spearing through the sky
upon the mountain peaks so high
	rising over cloud shrouded land

I do quake in the journey's length
	the many steps so very long
if I'm to reach the patch of light
	I see so very far away

weariness does leech my strength
	fatigue does weigh upon my frame
hope does fade with each weary step
	taken on this gray day

would that one could simply stop
	this journey then set aside
another path there be to take
	to another place to be

yet does light before me shine
	upon the mountain peaks so high
though they lie so very far away
	on the path that I cannot see

The Lantern of My Soul

Writers Quote: A Lantern Soul Adrift His mercy & compassion 



Ignited by the light of His compassionate heart 
I walk through the mazes of life like a soldier without a gun 
spearing evil with my radiate sword of old 
Bible verses non-thumped, engraved on my heart 
a memory eclipses settles deep in my mind 
a life time of flint blade motions of valor spring into action 
when the chalice,  is threatened by dark matter...
Filling my cup with aureate blinding rays from my that I belong 
to Him and only Him...
My lantern is lit every morning and it is lit every night 
it is even lit during my consecutive, precautious, daily aerial flight.

Premium Member Big Foot and I

I strolled appease through the tall underbrush 
admiring the tall lush green trees and 
the tranquil mingling sounds of the seen and unseen creatures

I glance up into the heavens and admire 
the tall green spearing pines as it rebinds 
into a canvas painted ocean of blue, 
scattered downy white clouds 
and the sun radiating from behind
with birds in a V-formation flying in place with grace
The wondrous mountain range with the tall timber embrace

We meet under the rock shelter behind a beautiful waterfall 
hidden under the fallen timber and pine branches 
The sounds of the roaring crashing waterfall
descending and  plunging down into a blue plungpool
forming  white foam and rainbow vapors

I rush to his waiting arms 
Wet and shivering from the water mist of the waterfall
I look at him with a flirtatious seductive tease
and arouses his blustery Sasquatch fury
 
We embrace  till our heart melts into each other as one
in the concealment of the hidden shelter
behind the sounds of the waterfall 
and melt into love

The Poets Flow

my emotions bleed like a turnicate unfastened 
my thoughts flow like wine, crystale off a glass end

the words that i spew surge from my heart 
and the shadow of the pen dances in the dark 

the candle sways with each breath that i take 
words flow like waves initiated by quakes 

phrases swim like schools of fish in my mind 
populating the oceans with species called ryhmes 

the light from the candle flickers when i bleed 
as i run the blood of my emotions across paper with speed 

quick with thoughts from the subconcious they flow 
amazed by the words placed on paper bestowed 

lightening fast and quick on the draw 
careful not to lose the words in my mind that i saw 

spearing each verse with percision and skill 
conveying each thought on paper by will 

bleeding with thoughts hemoraging with emotions 
as poets write thoughts they flow just like oceans

Just Thinking

Just thinking of places and times
I had laid my heavy head
So far removed from silk sheets
And a warm comfortable bed

Just thinking, on dreams i had  
In raging storms kaleidoscope like
Behind fluttering shut eyes with tears
Spearing through, grounding a paper kite  

Just thinking,of an expressions seen
From above or below distant and far  
The colour of eyes, lost in that moment
Brewing the droop propped up on a bar   

Just thinking, just thought remembered
Forgotten just slipped away from my head
Curtains now closing, lessening light
That time and thought we constantly dread.
