Galvanised Atmospheric Innovations

Galvanised Atmospheric Innovation 



Urban atmospheric galvanised creatures 

Turbans that are stratospheric turning into teachers

Burdens that are esoteric and one of my personality features 

Certainty that is generic as you’re hiding from the preacher



Stacks of written words surrounding me like an army of white confessions 

Hacks that have been heard among pleas reaching for heaven

The exact and the absurd combine to form an episode of regression 

Detract from the conserved and you’ll find a place in the recession



Renegade observers of the globalised extortion 

Serenade reserves of the nobalised contortions 

Parade of preservers combine to culminate a fortune 

Charade of community creates a new social contortion 



Wondering through terrain reserved for someone more emotionally robust 

Pondering on ethics, integrity, morals, hope and trust 

Sundering onward without knowing that your dependent on the physical laws of thrust 

Plundering the earth with greed, deception, fame and lust 



Multi dimensional landscapes that defy 6D comprehension 

Conventional borders that correlate around the suppressed retention 

Intentional reasons to confiscate the technology from the children 

Presentational permeation that deny the attempts at prevention 



Recollection brings a firm debate of colourised convention 

Predilection for one to consummate the end of their detention

Introspection sometimes obfuscates the clarity of invention 

While circumspection can just eviscerate the purity of one’s intentions

I Netted Mosquito Magic

I Netted Mosquito Magic ™

(near microscopic totally tubular proboscis 
gave one local bummer, a bloody respite this 
summer, hence....aye goot good wry min 
reason tubby a tuneful hummer.) 

No sooner than getting 
     weltanschauung after getting bit 
from female blood-sucking insect,
(which critters actually 
     considered little lord of the flies 
comprise family culicidae)
a most amazing 
     extraordinaire inoculated me 

with short lived surprise talent, 
which got this 
     American male infected 
with three hundred seconds 
     of super human impeccable skill
short-lived feat found 
     body, mind or spirit 
capable to transcend natural

limits of  usual abilities,  
     infusing this ordinary guy 
with an unpredictable
supreme titillating, stupefying, 
     resounding, hair-raising, glorifying, 
fleeting, entertaining, 
     daunting, catapulting, bedazzling, 
amazing stints possessing, 

     thy being from invisible source
thence when expending said 
     burst of tremendous spurt, 
per awesome bout of mental, 
     physical or spiritual bags of tricks 
eclipsing mortal prowess 
     with stratospheric wow 
     fear less factor 

ultimate fatigue found 
     this bloke supine 
and unable to summon forth 
     one iota of strength.

Gravitation Defied

Even now, Pigeons stool surprised 
     while ensconced in dovecote
whose twittering translated as coo coo not bright
asper Icarus aiming for mythic cull magic did excite
     popularized notion to take winged flight

And for twenty first century mortal to wax poetic  
     this January 2018 bitterly, brutally day and night
Stymied sans principle 
   contradicted laws of Physics 
   soaring to limitless height
Away from temporal axon light

Into the infinite cosmic dendrite
Realization to soar above heavenly vault 
      spectacular sight
Brainchild of anonymous genius minds 
      left stratospheric legacy 
     To witness awesome might
break away, sans gravity 

     tacit Obeisance acknowledged 
     this hundred year plus anniversary
     Aero planes success got off the ground
     Pardon saying may come across as trite
More than a century elapsed 
   since machines first attempt to remain aloft
     Man made invention glittered silvery white

Beauty, grace and poetry in motion 
     excises Luddite trace
     Despite countless fatal crashes 
     Tragedy to those loved ones lost in fiery plight
Invisible ethereal essences dwell 
     and hover some place 
     Occupy a netherworld housed 
   with fellow nymph and sprite

Return to Earth to deliver miracles 
   and prevent near disasters
Although many a skeptic 
   may ascribe phenomena to luck despite
Angelic visage impossible to dispute quite.

Premium Member Sun Ra, Celestial Architect of Sound,

The universe waits in silence for no one
Only for Sun Ra to take a close-up
Sun Ra, celestial architect of sound,
 a cosmic voyager, beyond the norm,
In vortices of thought, a meditative storm.
a wonderland of free jazz flight,
Colorful vibrations in the cosmic night.
His music makes your bones swell with the future's call,
 . ancient Egyptian mysticism, science fiction for all
This American jazz composer, bandleader, and keyboardist
Made Futuristic tones that transcend it all.
Outside the way out, yet straight ahead, cool 
A jazz bop universe, where dreams are bred.
Freight trains of sound, smokin' rails,
Saxophones wail through cosmic tales.
Marshall Allen’s stratospheric cry,
Afrofuturism in the sky.
Experimental, theatrical, space-age attire,
Sun Ra’s universe ignites with fire.
In the same breath as Trane and Miles,
Monk’s melodies and Dizzy’s styles,
He’s the captain of the stars,
The architect of time and space music
The red planet, space travel, and a mystical life in the cosmos
Did Sun Ra think in holographic time?
A master creator, sculpting the void,
Freeing cracks in space with love employed.
Egyptian science fiction, love, peace, and art,
Sun Ra’s music is a cosmic healing vibration
Earth was just a classroom for his plan,
To show the world the good in man.
Saturn rings sing in harmony,
Guiding us to eternity.
Sun Ra, the cosmic pioneer,
His sound, the future’s frontier.

In every note, in every space,
Sun Ra’s peace and happiness in the universe’s shining grace.

Chaotic kaleidoscope 										
fantastically aware,											
brilliant symphony 											
dazzling in the air.	
									
Combinations from 											
the prism of light,										
engaged entangled 											
with their own flight.

Stratospheric starbursts, 									
whispering winds, 										
haunting howling, 											
where it all begins.	
										
Radiant eyes, 											
eclipsing the mind,											
luring all consciousness 									
emptiness left behind.

Gracious gratuity 											
gifting in kind,												
endless motion 											
in the stillness of time.
										
Enlightenment enriched										 
from dark depths, 										
Sprouting illuminations 										
in spectacular breadth.

stage fright

Stage Fright
This has been a long Sunday it started off with two toasts with cheese and the glucose rose to stratospheric, insulin is needed where the heck
Is the bloody needle, mlg if you please followed by a thundering heart and unwanted anxiety, I have tried to overcome for over 60 years
In my younger days, I tried to overcome my nerves by drinking whisky as a calmer which made me annoyed with anxiety-riddled myself 
My wish was and still is to be a brave person, who is able to express himself with confidence But, no deal baby, I ended up alone in a room
It is not like I don’t know what caused my total lack of confidence, our dysfunctional family was poor and I was literary farmed out
I was fourteen years old when I was set free to get a job as an errand boy in an office of nice people, who made me feel loved and wanted 
Somehow, despite my nervous hands and clumsy manners, I was able to get an education, which was well-paid, in the Norwegian merchant navy 
Later in life, I was in the café trade both in Britain and in Norway a business one has to be social and I had the hope to be cured of awkwardness
Finally, I sold out and went to live in Portugal where I bought a ruined house, fixed it up, and for years lived alone with a dog as companion 
My dog died, and my aloneness became ghostly until I met a woman and my life changed, but my nervousness didn’t, but it didn’t bother her 
I look back on my life and ask how the hell, did I managed this, with a lump of fear in my stomach nervous hands, and a lack of self-confidence 
The house on the prairie is sold, and my rustic dream is over, what the hell man, stop worrying about where to live tomorrow
 
As I sit in my chair, I stretch and feel, without hesitation pleased with myself, a voice utters, you are a jerk, now, take Elon Musk……

Premium Member It is to be

Staring into the stratospheric abyss 
Cumulus clouds swiftly drift along.  
As I stand at a dusty precipice,  
The white-hot heat of the sun beating down,  
Microscopic gravel crunches beneath questioning feet.

A flood of overwhelming emotions washes forth,  
Whilst a broken heart is drowning.  
The last words you spat at me, stuck on repeat,  
Play like a needle scratching a broken record.  
Cupping my ears, I try to shut out the incessant noise,  
But it just ricochets like emotional shrapnel,  
Piercing into my tormented psyche.

Reliving the vital few seconds of a scene gone so wrong—  
Have we somehow traveled past the event horizon,  
Becoming an implosion of complete annihilation?  
As the wind whips past, sending ripples through the air,  
I frantically search the debris for answers.

Grasping at particles of dust—  
Invisible atoms of desperation.  
But they're unattainable.  
It is to be our downfall,  
Just as a resolution to this inquest  
Disappears with the sun  
As it wanes over the mourning horizon.

Premium Member Whispering Truths

As the turbulent determinations
          of everyday vigor

bellow through stratospheric circumstances
          dancing amongst the clouds

you calculate life's extravagances
          twisting beyond hierarchies

as leaf covered branches
          twitter in space.

Gusts of wind orchestrate
          like synchronizing ballerinas

flowing within music
          strumming delicate harmonies

on roads less traveled
          pecking at your brain

into rebel territory
          determined to stem irrelevant

while you savor circumstantial
          realities beyond comprehension.

Masquerading through conventions
          you enjoy the day's delicacies.

WTF



A curse that’s worse than the pandemic

Greedier populist verse became totemic

No halt of their catapult assault systemic

Seedier social media game now endemic


Whether it be some chanting panting cleric

Will ration all compassion not really angelic

Always decanting another ranting hysteric

Doubts planting the enchanting evangelic


Oligarchy malarkey their tarnished polemic

Climate fires rage but won’t call the medic

Derails with varnished tales any academic

Preening demeaning all left leaning satiric 


Dystopian & myopian totally Machiavellic

We burn they’re still lippy well it’s generic

With their heinous intravenous hypodermic


Even if taciturn with boring name like Derek

Yearn for return of hippy trippy psychedelic

Not dippy all learn nature can be mesmeric

Don’t spurn love soars above stratospheric

Tired of Feeling Sleepy Today August 17th 2019

Tired of feeling sleepy today - August 17th, 2019

Lashed with fatigue,
eye cannot fend off lethargy
hazy, hot, humid weather zaps
mental physical, and spiritual energy
even men of cloth
various and sundry clergy.

Undoubtedly summoning Parson Brown
currently out of season,
though stratospheric demand
for his person now
unprecedented as summer
dog days force physical slowdown,

nonetheless he would
experience immediate meltdown
booked solid throughout
"Winter Wonderland,"
when deep freeze
doth make clampdown,

no matter sung by masses
with uncertain reason
caroling 'bout said enigmatic figure
heard in every hamlet
or sprawling boomtown
belted clear as bell 

o'er nor'easter howl
undeterred by polar vortex windblown
chilling atlas shrugged 
off undaunted facedown
weathering arctic blast
making snow angels

comfortably numb jollity reverses frown
even elderly folks
sport about though grown
spry stick figures shoveling tunnel
courtesy white blanketed lockdown
"careful ma am" not
to fall on keister or crown.

Presence of said parson
linkedin with spate
of blizzard conditions and
Frosty the Snowman,
whose power to bring society
to standstill will not abate

proof positive to commander
in chief who cannot extricate
whether from climate, and trumpets
what he doth cogitate
dismissing global warming -
calling out "end of debate"

twill usher doomsday, cuz he
and trolling henchmen skate
on thin ice, and whose
dawdling crass, base
actions only accelerate
day of wreck conning

when most species will
lack mien ways to acclimate
all the more rhyming reason
to bid mortality adieu
and slumber permanently
battened down hatches
with me sigh ease oompa loompa mate.
