Escapism

Foundation.

If you could escape this world, would you take that risk?


Escapism 

As if cursed by the son of perdition

As I go about my new life's mission to gain admission to her realm

With Aphrodite's dead ringer who whispers songs of exquisite rendition

Praying a lone arrow from Eros bow will strike, drawing gasps from the angels watching

High in the midnight sky 

As I breathe in her sweet aroma and passion filled scent, like pure oxygen 

And feel regal like a king
Like King Solomon 

As her aura captures my soul like a moth is attracted to a flame

So now all dark nights appear so long and so black

As the shadow people slowly advance
Whispering my name 

For they know I have been changed by someone so radical.
As I entered the Fifth Dimension one strange night 

Looking to finding a love so sacred and magical
But that's the magic of searching for the fantastical

For as sure as winds seduce trees by subtle caresses 

As the world wakes each year in a new spring and fresh life begins

I write this before I go to the Hidden Forest

Where the White Ash stands

Where green ivy hides the entrance to her lair, and other slaves play music, while chained to metal stands

With the smell of incense on patrol in the electricity filled air

Ready to invade lungs and take control

It's ten to two in the morning and I have to appear at four

So if I don't come back, I leave this for you to know I'm fine

Keep the house 
Car and money 

For I'm going to a new place where fear no longer exists 

A place I hope welcomes me in

Just pray for me that I don't 
lose my soul and become just another flesh slave 

Chained up playing music in her band

A prisoner trapped forever in her cave

As she sits or stands
On her golden throne singing with her crimson red lips

You're now mine
Now get in line

Your time will come play

For now, you're caught 
And can no longer run away

For you're now just another one of my familiars

One in a trillion 
No longer a civilian 

All this I know for a German called Schiller

Told me over the internet
Told me to come over

Told me I'd be a member of a wolf pack serving a queen in The Great In-Between 

So here I am

Pray for me 
Ma ***

Forever yours
Your son

Tiger Claws

I own the personality of a human extrovert 
you can call me Majesty for I have steadiness of paw 
when it comes to hunting I can be quite overt 
as vocal as a crow's caw caw 

I am tiger, hear me growl and roar 
as the largest feline in the world, I always stand proud 
solitary by nature I take care of my cubs with adore 
but don't stand in my way or you'll hear me nice and loud 

I am a sentient being at the brink of extinction 
due to the fact they want me for my pelt, meat and body parts 
when they take spear in hand and come into my jurisdiction 
it is then that I flair my nostrils and eat my counterparts   

unless you threaten to kill me, I wont pull out my tiger claws 
when I am observing I often strike a tall majestic pose  
but if you can smell my musky scent, then your standing too close 
the fact is you need to keep distance, its as plain as the tip of your nose.

Premium Member Barcelona

Another terrorist atrocity has happened again
This time it was Barcelona and that my friends is Spain
My heart felt love goes to those affected
These terrorists need found and dejected

Stay alert everyone they may strike anywhere
Be vigilant and stay aware
They have hit London and Paris
They call themselves ISIS

They have tried to install fear to us all
But their the only ones who will fall
They will not win their religious fight
Peace and tranquillity that’s what’s right

There tactics have been very similar
Killing, hurting with a van or a car
Driving at speed in built up areas 
Targeting innocent bystanders

These people really are cowardly 
I just wish that they would see
They have been totally brain washed 
Reasons and thoughts turned to slosh

Sending healing thoughts to all people there
From the western world we really care
The terrorist should be behind a large fence
For indiscriminate acts of murder and violence

You are the scurvy of this earth
Your radical beliefs buried under turf
You can not see that you won’t win
What you do is a really a  Sin

So ISIS we won’t take it anymore
Face up to facts you’ve lost your war
Go back home and leave our shores
Violence and murder we don’t adore

Box Set Bingeing

When it comes to

What my definition is

Of a good night in

Which and what

Box Sets I want to binge on

These are my preferred favorite's

Placed in no particular order

Boxes of

Beer

Cigarettes

Take-away

Chocolate

Sweet's

Chip's

Painkillers to quell the morning hangover
bound to follow tonight's festivities

Doggy treat's to keep my furry best
friend mutt quiet

Because he deserves a treat as much
as I do

Bacon , sausage all things greasy 
full English breakfast ingredients

To soak up all the booze settle my
stomach and make me feel 
half human hopefully again

Box of tissues to wipe the dribble
and sick away from my mouth

And also use to clean up whatever I spill 
mess I make and leave behind in my wake

And finally the most important box
of all

A box containing my last will and testament
and a fire extinguisher

Just incase I die before I wake

And the certain someone sent to rescue me 

They themselves do in fact on the odd
occasion smoke as well

Inadvertently strike up a cigarette to
calm their shaking nerves

Then need a fire extinguisher to put the
flames and me out

Because although I may be long 
dead passed on my final breath

I am still 100,% proof here in spirit form

Just as explosive or combustible

As a Box of say

Fireworks

Or

Dynamite

The Queen Of Emeralds.

Thy mothers name is victoria! So full of strength and love!

Thy mothers voice is that of a songbird, spirit is of queen of storms.

Thy mothers passion is of furious pain that paints the sky red of dawn's light to twilight dusk!

Thy mothers tears nature and bring forth growth from the frey!!!

Thy mothers love is of nurturement, tiss has the ability to heal even the most detested wounds. 

Thy mother can fly with the wrights and right almost any wrong!

Thy mother has predilections of a tigress! Not one of you may touch us or hurt us without the strike of her hammer!

Thy mothers breath is warm as a hearth and her heart furious like a valkyrie!

Thy mother can turn women into men and men into children and back again!

Thy mothers beauty is as the fountain of youth and never stops giving even when drained dry!

Thy mothers heart is her children that to which i am first of eight!

Thy mothers strength is our unity, my siblings and I, we are her song of storms.

Thy love is for thy mother and my brothers and sister! Happy mothers day mom! Your breath ,your strength, your everything is ours and we are yours, we make legions from your womb.

Premium Member The Tear Wiper

The Tear Wiper

There was one, who called his friend a few days ago.
He shared with him a dream he thought he should know.
His friend gave attention as he, in a serious tone, began to say:

It was cold and snowy in the East.
It was windy and wet in the North.
It was cloudy and stormy in the South.
It was dry, sunny, and mild in the West.

By next day, out West, ocean tides rose 20 feet high.
Several states along the Mississippi were flooded up North.
The Eastern Seaboard shivered in 15 feet of snow from Delaware to Maine;
And, an unbelievable 7.8 earthquake shuddered the Deep South.

All of these dramatic events happened on the very same day.
By noon, the whole world was filled with sorrow and dismay.

There was no forecast, and without watch or warning, the weather spoke.
It was not an invading army nor a terrorist strike; but America did choke.
It was an earth shattering day when everyone everywhere took note and awoke. Not a Hollywood movie, but it was clear to all; this was neither nightmare nor joke.

It was noted that one family up North had taken shelter under a strong and tall oak. The children played as they sang, talked, and prayed; also in a book, they wrote. Then suddenly, they all stood together; and a scripture they did quote.

“And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes:
And there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying,
Neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.”

i love you ...

to the cold marrow, i do
beastess of black
the art of you, ritualistic, raw
all your names wrap me
savage, winged and wondrous …
tempt me, tepid dragon
i dream of the pursuit
wrought in timeless space
wispy, winding the world
biting my tongue with bitter citrus
or dripping with rhythmic, parenthetical
perfection …
dance for me -
break at the score, residue-righteous
engendered non-generically
come, venerated venom
and strike true -
crimp, shine, bubble, breathe
sing my veins ...
hot, horrid harlot of the haggard heart
neuron-nasty and aflame
a receptor conflagration, reborn
divinely devilish …
i - Mad Molly's sullied son -
curse you with all i know
and woo you with my innocence, lost
i nail you to a cross
of considerations and care
only to worship your ruin
the lion's paw to your Androcles, merciful
acid tears to wash your feet
and blood …

to bind.

Premium Member Burning Flesh Part 1

Things begin turning around and very 
slowly they take a nasty foreboding twist
as Hell's Dragon has not breathed yet 
a deep burning fire melting red his eyes
dripping blood upon fury and destruction
pumping inside the uncontrollable fire 
equal to that of a thousand steamboats 
and only he sleeps in the dark dungeons.

Chained and suffering in utter Hellfire
chained in untold torment and anguish 
unleashed he would burn your heart no less
in a flash—while scorching all to nothingness 
fried black from the deepest ashes falling
cold silently sleeping with wings on fire and
chained to love’s weakness as the dark fables say:
Do Not Call Upon This Beast—He’s The Devil’s Own.

Hell’s Dragon stirs inside with tongues of flames
lashing with the pains of hate to strike all now
leaving hottest cinders and funeral pyres a plenty
it’s now the Devil’s very moment to unleash His Evil, 
His Demon Dragon upon the saintly and the pure
and the precious doing their good works and all
and unsuspecting of the malevolence awaiting them.  
  
The Devil enters afresh the earthly plane once more and
releases His Dragon to inflict harm and to upset
God’s celestial equation of peace, harmony, and light—
bringing death, destruction, and retribution to all in
its flight path while breathing out the harshest and
cruelest and hottest flames of fiery perfidy in the 
name of Lucifer—Himself laughing boisterously at God
all the while not knowing the coming angelic answer.

The Almighty Lord works indeed in the most mysterious 
of ways and He will not let his Fallen Angel Lucifer (or 
“The Devil” on Earth) have His way by murdering 
innocents through His Dragon proxy only too willing to
serve His Master to bring horrible hideous death to all
of mankind who fall within its flight path and intention
to inflict the most treacherous and dastardly plan of
of unmitigated death and horror ever to be unleashed.

Once active, my muse has gone on strike
I said come back, she said go take a hike!

I tried dipping my pen in dark ink
hand on brow; I’ve attempted to think

I began writing a very sad sonnet -
ended up with a second rate nonet!

Next I thought I would write a fun verse
t’was not funny it sounded quite terse

Guess my muse has just drifted away
I think she’s gone on a long holiday!

Now abroad she is on a sojourn
and I wonder when she will return

Till then I’m a part time poet
I’m bereft and I really know it!

Music

Salve for the soul in healing sound 
Rhythms balm spreads in division
Lifts the hour high
Explodes the troubled mind to calm 
                                                                                                                 
Birds Interpret song on wild notes 
Orchestrations with crescendos fly
Rise with symphonic melted hearts
Murmuring violins, strings together, meld

Overtures dawn with the song respond
Repeating every measure operatic
Movements operate on scores created
On levels not recorded simply on their merit

Far from civilization primal saxophones blast  
Jazz discordant jungles awake inhabitants
Afraid, stir in the fields, collaborate
Instruments strike a wonder cord, relax  

Falling rain that drops one note away
Stay up any way
Try not to reason with the rain
On pastures pure meandering

Rock and roll misgivings earthquake the dead
Bring them back to life with melodies
Raw streaming strings and drums, melodic sounds 
Listeners never miss a beat, good enough to eat

Green waves of grass will laugh in harmony
Grow closer to an open concert stage               
Quiver for an instant explanation
One that never came
 
Nearer than you will ever be
To solid ground in symphony
Feel a mystery evolve unsolved 
Far from the here and now

There is something in the air not there, perhaps salvation
Far from the common cold, almost a religion, not quite a song
In musics realm, tilted towards the left, the brass section
Trombones for sure to settle the final score finale
