Premium Member Seattle Passions

It's not easy to give up a dream.
In fact, I can't do it.
The burning hunger never dies
Even as the times and locations change
Into horrifying masks,
Irrecognizable from your short-sighted expectations.
The stupefying trick of life being: You propose a gift to yourself.
In return you get the blending colors of your painted dreams;
The self-alterating unconscious,
The man behind the wheel who has no notion
Of a wheel in front of him.
He's too busy dreaming of the moment 
He drives the car into the open green day
To realize there's never
Been a lack of motion,
A lack of a wheel,
A lack of an open road.
You dream in black and white
As you live in profound color.
A magnet to passion
Entangled as you are 
By a lurid and wondrous grief.
The grief of infinite options
As you turn the wheel once again:

Here plows you through your garden of troubles
Smile and rejoice and love man's holy rubble.
You dream your own magic. 
So stay true, keep bold, 
And declare your own flag.

And, yes, it may burn through the night.
But the night is cold, and dark, and good.


Most Mind Boggling Mysterious Mortal

Mystification prevails stupefying yours truly
befuddled, he blindly stumbles along rocky
pathway illusory impediments strewn helter
skelter intangible obstructions hinder access
psychological barricades effective impasse

detains, deters, detours manhood maturation
manumission manifestation materialization
linkedin, when permanent submission arises
beckoning corporeal leaden entity into avast
eternal realm, where material disintegration

promises venerable salvation releasing angst
strummed plucked fretful existence denied
utmost exploration sequestered soul hermit
tickly sealed courtesy custom made NON-
GMO supercalifragilous expialidocious

airtight, vacuum sealed with trademarked
matts scott good housekeeping approval
lifetime achievement award maintaining
quasi pristine mint like condition afford
double (FREE for the taking) full refund

if dissatisfied with stutt...tut...tut tearing
functionality, yet batteries NOT required
and assembly unnecessary, but maximum
remaining life usage, asper garden variety
mutant requires preservation within sterile

bubble, lest exposure to human contact are
rouse dormant (latent) propensity breeding
biologically pre programmed predilection
to propagate species, this despite low libido
level, thus Memorial sale steal (actually no

expiration coincides with natural longevity)
slight depreciation before cessation arises,
which I project - little less than half life of
ordinary Earthling, whose quixotic, poetic,

ecologic, plus conscientious ethos promises
greater fulfillment, sans spirit, mind, and
body versus being addicted, hypnotized, or
tranquilized by latest technologic contraption.

lives clogged with gadgetry
          like drains on overflow
young minds scurried atop tech pitchforks
                                          that never know a garden
hand extensions clutching spectacles of risk, 
                               cat airs or lost direction
sites that numb and slacken awareness
        like selfies that nix the problem of real-time
                                                 interaction

web meandering connections
that blunt kooky-cool love
midst screens clutched in hands like roses
because one can't perceive layers of worth 
                                                                 beneath
where influencers babble in throwaway buying
under a stupefying list of 'likes'
under images of self interest

sometimes tic-toc addiction, time distracting
to steal showtime moments like trees 
                                 pressed against a multi-colored sky
                                 or the under valued stillness of
                                                                           reading

oh to chew up the grid of "cells" that flicker 
                                               the world in
                                               luminosity,
                                               stark
                                               and fraying

Premium Member A Fluttering of Wings- Part Ii

Please Read Part I before reading this! Thank you! :)

Days and nights merged
Into a stupefying timelessness
How long had it been
Since she had burned his flesh
With her body
Since she had burned his heart
With her escape

He caressed the white feather
Pulled it across his lips
Smelling the scent of her
That lingered
Cursing himself for being a fool
For taking the chance
For believing

He angrily brushed
At the lone tear
That escaped from his eye
A mournful pilgrim 
Searching for redemption
Across expanse of his face

At that very moment…
The silence was broken
By the faint sound
Of fluttering wings
That grew louder
There at the door
Of his gilded cage

He didn’t trust himself to turn around
But he trembled...
He trembled when he heard the sound
Of the closing of the door
And the turning of the key in the lock
Still he did not turn around
Her scent spoke to him
Of her ever nearing closeness
Till it enveloped him
And her warm breath
caressed the back of his neck
And then…before he could turn around
His still rigid form was enfolded
In the fluttering of her wings

Eileen Manassian Ghali

ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE ASPHALT stupefying vision





If the people against, the true deniers
could change life
and rebuild the world, they:
Would erase all progress
that exists today,
and return to a nonexistent "glorious
time" of the past...
they would create a world of their own...
where the strongest
would command everything...
There would be a democracy
only for them, where they would determine
who should and who should not...
where permissiveness would reign
for proselytes and dura lex
for the rest...

Conflicts would be resolved
with bullets by those disguised
by power...
To the rich friends, everything...
all power, all glory...
To the poor... all honor
of serving the powerful with
promptness, servitude and quality...
IN BED, TABLE AND BATH!


Sans Scribbling Scrolling, Scrounging Scrunching Scrying Scribe Section Sixty

the following quite quirky epistle may not exhibit the ordinary characteristics of poetry, but i decided to share this self made challenge (where every word begins with the letter "S" - no explanation can be offered why such self cerebral torture imposed, nor what motivated me to focus on the nineteenth letter of the english alphabet at the exclusion of other noble vowels and consonants.

Premium Member The Fair

The car door opened 
The first thing I saw 
Was an explosion of balloons, 
More than I’d ever seen 
In my entire nine-year life.  
For the first time 
We were at the fair 
I leapt from the car 
Feet running before 
They hit the ground, 
Knowing I had to see 
Everything, 
Do 
Everything, 
Taste 
Everything 
In just two hours 
Before the long trip home 
And, I did!!
The drive home was filled 
With dizzying, dazzling, 
Stupefying memories of
Excitement, movement, 
Colors, noise, 
Tastes, 
People, 
Rides.  
I had taken in 
As much as I could 
As fast as I could 
Leaving scarcely room
For a breath 
Now I finally let it all out 
By throwing up 
In the back seat 
With a loud, “Brrraaaggghh!!
As he pulled the car over 
My father mumbled, 
“Never again”, 
My mother whispered, in reply 
“Never again”,   
I scarcely heard them 
As I shouted, 
“When can we go again??”!!

Premium Member The Gods Themselves

oh dear heaven ...

how impeccant
how subtly innocent and eager
are you truly as oblivious as you seem?
oh, I am sure of otherwise

or would there not be so much unsullied skin laid bare -
so few garments that thus adorn the masterpiece?
utter innocence, burning in the motion of your stride ...
a fortuitous feast of flames for the common

the gods themselves feign deference to such fair symmetry
and barter the heavens for but a grace of your shadow
you are pristine virtue, annotated ...
you are torturous fare for the plain and fallow

and envy for even the inimitable
innate sensuality trickles from your feathery brow
to your Lilliputian toes, (painted bubblegum pink)
tracing an unblemished dermal landscape

that any hormone-hewn human would consider a dream destination
you exude a connate allure, inexplicable
enchanting even the stars -
sky weeping in exquisite anguish for sake of your fluid movement

saucy, exposed hips
tossed with coy yet libidinous intent
their immaculate and fluid rhythm
catching in chests like a cardiac event

pulling the breath from lungs around you like taffy
(and not returning without discerned effort)
every gaze in your line swinging in matched tempo
stupefying all within your affect ...

a mass hypnosis inspired by your walk alone
ponytail braid and pink ribbon sway in opposite tempo
adding to the sassy attitude
eyes, pure white arctic spheres

with polished onyx centers
set to possess the soul, should they find your focus
faultless, blue-white smile
framed by sugar plum lips, shaped to perfect bows ...

oh dear heaven
such resplendent rapture should they whisper your name
such divine intoxication should those eyes affix yours
the gods themselves are sobbing ...

the gods themselves.

Be Aware and Enjoy Life

What can be more beauteous than nature
The sky, clouds, flowers, mountains, greens
The water bodies, birds, animals, insects, aquatic life
The sunrise, the sunset, rains, dew drops.....
Master painter has painted with wonderful strokes a stupefying surrounds

What can be more melodic than the sounds of nature
Chirping of birds, rustling of leaves, whooshing of winds
Burbling stream, splashing waves, pitter patter of rain drops
Sounds of laughter, babbling of a baby

What can be more joy giving than a feeling of peace
When you hear words I love you!
When people around care for you
When others assist in need 
When you bask in knowledge that God loves you
When you understand you are a portion of him

Can anything equal the joy of living in present
Enjoying through senses all multifarious scents, sounds and scenes
What can equal a dandy food eaten slowly with relish
Abundance of joy we receive 
when we are aware of all the sensations experienced by our skin
When our senses are not concentrated in mind
When mindlessly enjoying the moment

To be euphoric we only need to be aware!
