Premium Member Lovely Suppositions

i have kissed beneath summer’s sweltering
fragrance your array of spackled decay

in lovely gardens; sweet roses weltering
plundered and plucked; an incidental lay

beneath your satin I have run my fingers, 
trembled as famished breasts groped my 
own; your mellow poetry still lingers
imperviously enriching - and when i try
to kiss another i feel your haunting roots 

encroaching my tingled thighs and i shake
beleaguered by your lavender; heat shoots

through laboring reeds sprouted mistakes
pale panhandlers passionately proposed

then by your tender 

i’m awaiting... (so you suppose)

Premium Member Ancient Sage Gnome

The ancient sage gnome of many colors
Flashed rainbows as he entered the forest
He was like a prism, dazzling the woodlands
As he walked, sunlight bounced off of his cloak

Who is he? A mushroom king asked his queen.
She had heard of the ancient sage gnome
However, no one told her what to expect.
In her weirdest suppositions, she had not envisioned rainbows

I think he is the ancient sage gnome, she guessed.
That can’t be right, said the mushroom king.
For his wife was notorious for jumping to conclusions
Without benefit of facts.

She was totally right, however, neither asked.
So, neither ever knew.
Guessing for the rest of their lives
All their other guesses wrong.

Premium Member If-A Dedicated Verse To Mckensie Peterson

Hypothetical supposition
If is such an enormous word 
it's so loud and heard 
beyond realities real if I had known 
if for so long
 I would not have uttered it out of my mouth
 may even thought wrong
 I don't understand the questions ifconditional clause
 in the event of that despite the possibilities
 what up why is that no matter whether it comes or goes 
if is the biggest word ever spoken and here goes
~
If a condition stipulation,  what's the question 
many ifs allow and answer
I express a strong condition either in if
an order or command 
unto the condition
If is in a conjunction 
and or is a noun most used as conjunction
 to connect two clauses
Hypo thetical super suppositions
 if it's such an enormous word 
it's so loud and heard beyond reality is real
 if I had known it for so long I would have not 
uttered it out of my mouth,  so I spill
~
The one thing that I know
 that it do if can will or might happen or so to be true
Messages questions wondering wonder hypothetical superposition the biggest word you ever heard is...- IF

Premium Member If I Ruled the World

so many unknown variables to consider for such a tasking pursuit

a conditional ‘If’ but what if ‘whether’ reigns in a supreme challenge

conjectures battle refutations and synapses blocked in surrender

as long as suppositions succeeded in their hypothetical contemplation

the world may as well be flat and circle unhappily one of its moons 


the ‘I’ would be futile a self negating deprecation on auto-destruct

and endless loop of no Self on a path to nowhere and nothingness

not of Buddha like Nirvana but hell on earth as we know it  too well

a spinning confusion of gravity with levitation spared its flight of fancy

when meditation and pondering could not lift the soul above the mind


‘ruling’ that wishes to overcome suppression domination and power

appears a futile concept when freedom should be the ultimate aim

of course anarchy holds its merits but people cling to being governed

by false leaders fake news and an insatiable need for crude abdication

in an attempt to cast responsibility and shred all courage and hope


‘the’ poses the question of this or that where and when whether at all

a simple adverbial adjective refusing to rest on quiet incomplete duty

bereft of solitary meaning and such an imposter of clarity and precision

no stand alone metaphor of context and contingency lost in the process

but the planet needs answers and I do not give up easily if besieged


is there a ‘world’ out there a compass and globe in my restless attempts

to understand question emphasize deconstruct and give a sweet home

to live up to its promises and dreams as opposed to terminal decline

word has it that there are only illusions betrayal and survival of the fittest

engulfed in delusions conflagrations raging inferno straight from its core


‘I’ if it was able to resist compartmentalization of Ego Super Ego and Id

might not want the elusive generational torch snuffing out a last breath

maybe I am overthinking under emoting and have surrendered in vain

to lost beauty and a vacuum of distant echoes of an unforeseeable future

therefore I conclude that if I was the ruler I would ask my kids for advice

Premium Member Audacity of Man

What splendid creatures God has formed.
I think of whales who swim above the silt,
giants of the sea that are cruelly harmed,
harpooned from life by men without guilt.

An industrious creature God has made
in the miniscule form of the worker ant,
hustlers gathering, never rest in the shade
while lazy people complain in angry rant.

What grievances men perpetually bemoan
with their fingers ever stretched for a handout.
In line for freebies while holding a new cell phone,
taking what they can; that's what they're about.

No notion or thought that giving is the better way.
We're the greediest animals this planet has ever seen.
Whales could easily crush the biggest ship in the bay,
and ants are busy keeping their home safe and clean.

Is there some lesson to be learned from ant and whale?
They lack free will and we can't hear what they speak.
Ants and whales commit no crimes sending them to jail.
Is it no wonder then,  the future of mankind is so bleak?

Land is man's home, but we invade the depths of the sea
where whales swim and feed exactly where they should be.
What fear would mankind have if it had been God's decree
to let whales come ashore to roam among you and me?

What thought do we give for stepping upon little ants?
Even the red ones don't bother us until we annoy them.
If those insects took revenge and crawled up our pants,
would we have new respect and avoid living in mayhem?

You might think my words are ridiculous suppositions
but take a moment for some serious contemplations.
Whales don't hunt us; ants live in underground conditions.
Doesn't that make us a world of aggressive nations?
