Premium Member Death By Murder

Murky water left to drink
floating particles of death
Erie presence leaves discontent
As something wicked floats in it.
The bone chilling chilly wind doth blow
off Lake Erie with flurry snow.

Late at night off cold dark shores
Shadows of a floating barge
Clouds of soot from steamers clogged
Pollutes the air with killer smog
when something wicked this way blows.

Perverts creep on angry streets
Children homeless are their prey
desperately at the mercy of
She gets plucked like a sweet ripe plumb
as something wicked this way comes.

There were no herbs, left to purge her
This was strictly death by murder
Blood dripping from their lips/
Every scary thing they fling as;
Vampires odors fumigates,
the evil deeds, their gluttony brings.

They've Desecrated the graves of men;
Though we stand by, we cannot extend,
at least a stick to beat the bush;
Or make loud noises and pretend;
While something evil this way spins.

Premium Member The Root, the Tree and the Branch

The path progresses in a linear manner
like a fallen tree trunk 
branching occasionally.

Perpendicular cousins gauntlet
the peripheral borders.

Winter’s extreme nudity
revealing an earthly crust,
a spine of granite;
a body desiccated of life’s fluids.

Yet, the sparse, angular, forms 
retain their own beauty,
dance in the shifting light.

Upon the path man progresses,
upright as the gauntlet of guardian trees;
perpendicular as they;
arms branch, fingers twig,
calling down the gifts of Heaven.
Summoning.

The path girdles the Earth.

Within the trunk of man 
arteries  branch, capillaries twig;
and bones boulder spines.
The fluids of life flow in jewel tones,
dancing in the shifting light.

The Earth progresses, orbiting,
girdling the sun as the Moon girdles it.
Golden steamers of gas reach from the sun
upward and outward on the path
occasionally branching.

bouzouki, lyra, laouto, and daouli

Soft-shell steamers (pissers) are best prepared by steaming with aromatic liquids like white wine, garlic, and herbs, cooking for 5-10 minutes until shells open. Clean them thoroughly in salted water, then steam and serve with melted butter and the broth, discarding any unopened clams.

Premium Member Death By Murder

Death By Murder: 

Murky water left to drink 
floating particles of death. 

Erie presence leaves discontent. 
As something wicked floats in it. 

The bone chilling cold wind doth blow 
off Lake Erie with flurry snow. 

Late at night off cold dark shores 
shadows of a floating barge. 

Clouds of soot from steamers clogged 
Pollutes the air with killer smog. 

When something wicked this way flows 
poverty on desperate corners pose. 

Perverts prey on angry streets 
Homeless children on which they creep. 

Desperately at the mercy of, 
as something wicked this way comes 

Young ones get plucked,like sweet ripe plumbs 
As something wicked this way comes 
. 
Contaminated, where no herbs could purge her 
Strictly becomes death by murder. 

Others with blood dripping from lips 
Every scary thing flung and flipped 

No caring soul feels to investigate 
As vampires odors fumigate 

There's no friend to even extend 
a stick to beat the bush or defend 

The evil deeds that ignorance brings 
desecrates the graves of all good men 

We make loud noises and pretend; 
While something evil this way spins. 

The screams are loud but know one heard her 
Ignored are cries upon lake Erie's  borders  

Spores that spawn.. these deaths by murder.

Premium Member Steamers

The water lulls, soft, warm,
salt-sweet like dew on bronze skin.
In chains the boat at anchor rocks,
cradled in a summer sea.

Water accepts us, frail, human,
each rise of sultry sand beneath the waves
a blossom of delight. Suited to an
au natural moment; we wade.

Barely receiving permission to be 
bare, our legs and arms wave and waver
beneath and through a languid sea.
Ten toes curl and prod seeking dinner.

The water in its abundance yields, 
each mollusk's breath rises a stream of
silver bubbles exhaled marking their bed
leading the diners to their dinner fare.

Love Affairs

I've had love affairs throughout my years
 so many I can't count beyond the parting tears.
Not many in my youthful primal fears
 but as I grew they did rise amidst my heart's cheers.

Not just chemistry or physical infatuation
 they drifted in my dreams without hesitation;
each set my body afire in self cremation.

Double 007, my James Bond dreamers
 drew out my breath in blinding steamers
where I hardly paused for slow  heart beaters.

In reality, I blush, the truth be said
 only one lover was ever taken to my bed
and in the arms of the intense embrace
 I won the love afffair's best race.

Should now I catch the mirrors reflection
 the face I see upon inspection
is yours standing next to me
 the continued love affair at seventy three.

Premium Member On Tending the Great Ancestral Fires

ON TENDING THE GREAT ANCESTRAL FIRES

Here lies the residue
Of an old fire
Long gone
Dry—Ashes 
Left to the whelms
Of raindrops to dampen
Into a useless mush—
Or for the wind to blow
Aimlessly to nowhere;
Wet and immobile
Or blowing dry in the wind,
Useless are cold ashes.

Here, scattered among the warm ashes,
Lay hot remnants of a once great fire
Gone untended—abandoned as.
Often, tenders of great fires are released
From their duties by the thirst of death;
Others are just scared away.
Be whichever it may, great fires
Cocoon themselves in charcoal hued embers.
Charcoal hued embers—steamers of raindrops
And lovers of re-birthing winds of ignition.

Come chilled children;
Movements are like unsettled ashes
Of social interchange; revolution,
Like volcanic embers of transformation.
Come cocooned children;
Let us gather and stoke volcanic embers
That we may metamorphose in the presence
Of the Great Fire spirit of our ancestors—
Least we devolve into the staled mush of ashes.

Sectionals of Comfort

Images of black and white
were placed close together
with colored photos
a deal for it's contrasting
effects.
The depth and urgency of
the themes
were starkly juxtaposed with
painted images
that fused art and photography.
Universal peace and universal anxieties
about love devotion and companionship
mirrored and echo'd the themes of
togetherness. Music theory  describe
the relationships between
musical notes to create scayles and chords
it made the filming of the imaging more
interesting
several individuals were fascinated with the thought
of weaving there favorite songs into the favorites of others
( this all started over a conversation where; the usage of dehydrated Steamers and potatoes was a novel idea to make produuction scayle waffles)
to create a story of something that
never happened
but told a story of creativity: snippets and sampling sounds of older
songs to these images
caused us to write a script for a full length film.
