The Ballet

old post from last year.....

"Music Maestro," the conductor turns-
 The curtain rises and the ballet begins,
People sit on the edge of their seats-
Tasting the sweetness of the violins-

Dancers make not a single sound,
As their slippers touch the stage,
The audience, still, gazing forward,
Quite intimately engaged-

The music pitch is soft, then loud,
Creating a somber mood,
With cabrioles, jetes, arabesques, plies,
An ambiance of mystery, the dancers all exude.

Painting a captivating canvas,
Gracefully moving, white sylph-like silhouettes,
The "Prima Ballerina Assoluta" twirls,
Executing perfect en-point pirouettes-

This ballet tells the story,
Of how a peasant girl, from a broken heart, dies,
Her last dance - a spectacular performance,
Brings tears to the audience's eyes.

Nearing its dramatic ending,
Dancers complete their last entrechats,
Spellbinding, flawlessly done,
A standing ovation for them all-

The music stops - the Maestro takes a bow,
The curtain lifts, then falls,
The applause of the audience demands,
A number of curtain calls-

Ballerinas retreat backstage to celebrate,
Their "Prima's" last dance was today,
Inside, the dancers weep softly,
Outside, people praise the ballet-

(alter knit lee titled: vita in oculis nudato)

goo goo gaga I wanna yell
cuz, synonymous 
     with other wordsmiths, 
     or...well
whatever will eire'n burr, 

     a sought after creative 
     passionate pursuit aye tell 
ye a boot me own aha...eureka insightful 
     revelation explaining 
     ma quotidian writing spell,

and phalanges skitter 
     across qwerty keyboard 
     at light in an attempt to quell
onslaught tidal wave crashing 

     upon me conscious state pell mell 
which tsunami flood spongy 
     heady gray matter with hell
over high tide heals assailing, 

     bruiting, clobbering this fell
low inducing (me) to play 
     Handel's Semantic Water Music 
     on the smallish piccolo cello

which Sirens of Tighten, 
     (who just appeared out of thin aire - 
     cuz scriveners can resort 
     to prestidigitation to make appear

any necessary entity 
     without rhyme or reason), 
     anyway, this sylph sea Oceanids nymph 
     i.e. mermaids didst dee clear
 
particularly via 
     barely audible verbal communication 
     sotto voce en dear
ring gently beckoning 
     affinity this modest heir

to secret himself within secluded lair
whence, an automatic 
     erectile flickr, kickstarted, 
     levitated, and manifested

an instantaneous jubilant kik 
     lobbed me near
this seductive, sedulous, and sedum 
     scented sir experienced hypnotic stare

charming froto into trance scandent state
as if by magic the tubular 
     testicular proboscis didst inflate 
aptly serving as modus operandi flagellate
thus proving a "happy ending" against being celibate.

CRAZY ANGEL

He is good-don't take him away
He is loud, don't silence his noise.

He is talking when you’re talking.
when you are saying your say.
Crazy angel, takes care of everyone but himself.

Always going way out of his way, to protect and direct:
At your feet; He holds the lantern, 
this has always been his pattern.

He won't let you stumble nor go astray, 
no judging others as he lights their way.

Too good he is, his heart is a cliché' ...
"A heart like gold": That is to say:

He is loud, don't silence his noise; 
He is good-don't take him away.

When the plane is going down,
"who must get the first mask", 
I asked- "you, or the baby in your lap"?

Of course, he said "the baby". 
But that answer was wrong:
"Who'll save your baby, and everyone else
if you are the last one, that is unmasked”?

We may be left at the mercy of the Sylph: 
The first law of saving others, Is to first;
"Save Oneself".!!

Premium Member Sylvan Forest

Quiet, the leaves drip from slender woody fingertips
as shadows cast spectral dreams that breath through misty lips.

In the deep the Sylvan rests against the hoary staff he grips
and feels the ancient magic flow between the rune filled tips.

Taken from a Willow tree on summer moon's eclipse
from gnarled knots, the life it gives, his body freely sips.

Across a knoll he slowly strolls like honey as it drips
as hungrily he eats a fruit and buries all the pips.

From which will grow new tender shoots and supple grassy whips
offering once more to him the sustenance he snips.

The world he knows mysterious and old, his life but an ellipse,
going round and round he trod the ground on his lonely trips.

When he meets the Mountain Lions he bows from bended hips
to show respect and fealty for their regal mien and kingships.

And too, the venerable and stately Oak respectfully he dips,
but as old friends, they laugh and smile with jokes and clever quips.

Evening comes through tired eyes as through the sky the sun rips
tearing through to rainbow hues in brushed on colored strips.

As the night exudes from day, the dark oozes like chocolate dips
in which the fairy, sylph and sprite flies, sings and skips.

But, at the end of each sullen day beneath sweet buds he slips
Folded in their tranquility and ever loving friendships.

Premium Member The New Me

 Doctor said I must lose weight
Sugar banned a thought I hate
No butter or cheese except low fat
My body will morph fancy that.

Off to gym in new sports gear
Going to sweat daily for a year
You think this is fun? your quite wrong
'Till I Collapse' my favourite song.

Each night exhausted I take a jog
Dear heaven above it's such a slog
Bedtime drink warm skimmed milk
No easy task to look like sylph.

Months rolled by still hitting gym
New way of life am now so thin
Resisting temptation I'm in to win
Aerobic trainer whose name is Slim.

My springtime blood did flow a river’s rush  
in stream bed’s cradle anchored to the land  
as dreams rode jet streams to the cirrus strand.
I grew beneath the nimbus, thunder-lush
but autumn’s dry-leaf-drought did bring a hush…
though soul, a snowy owl, not stuck in sand,
as slowly stilled my river came to stand —
my thirst now nursed by rapture of the thrush.

I muse about this skin and skins worn past, 
rebirth perhaps… a dolphin of the seas. 
This river turned a ripple wanes tonight
surrender of what’s mortal… not the last. 
My sigh the sylph that finds the Pleiades —
this breath I shed, a winter’s wisp of white.

Premium Member Her Soft Canal

The powder of white sand holds her flesh
close to his musk pelvis
as she gasps with the murmured waves
trembling on the coast
of a fragrant mouth against a manly tongue,
and they lay on hidden grass
in an old Ipanema cove
where rippling strokes fondle
the east and north of her sylph-like
curves: amidst the liquid Brazilian dusk,
her flowing hair sinks from the lapping
of crest in rhythmic grinds;
tanned fingers exploring
a soft canal of a nymph's heightened pleasure…
by the sea- bend,  he pulls her creamy thighs
like a driftwood sailing
afloat upon each quivered abandon
while they melt under balmy trees…
without the need to speak.

The Beau On the Cutie Pie

Soothing, lissome; render the facsimile of its
Heart; Such a spright with adore imbued.
‘Er pelt’s so sleek; as petite fry’s 
In its nurse’s, gentle and suckling: 
The only Cutie-pie on my heart.
  
Realism in its mettle glints joie de vivre,
As doeth molten chaste gold in the forge; a
Knoll of whose acme other inamoratas feign. Such
An Alkebulan nymph of finest of lustre imagined:
The one and only on the heart.

Nymph of great splendor so priced,
Guarantees anew that adoring even more I stay; 
Or peril I at rivals shameful losses, awaiting
My heart’s intensely pricked – broken: 
As if it weren’t the only Cutie-pie on my heart. 

Beauty as embossed on it and in
Every milieu envisioned, of itself no ill utters;
Making it the solo etch on this conquered heart,
And of those who in split or full, fray pro-reign
Over the one and  only on the heart. 

Hells all abhorrence merited, it deters! 
Anti-doting each time desolation's endured, 
Thus, it insures my glee agst perils viable; 
Agst rivals in places – a reassuring haven:
The only Cutie-pie on my heart.  

In its blissful eye’s such an unfaked
Love that soothes like no cool draft does;
Optically reassuring in such ways it’s my  
Venus, the finest of icons in the realms of adore:
The one and only on the heart.

Every songbird that hums its tune,
Yens for the arpeggio worthy the hymn for
One sylph in a million – for its admirers reverie;
‘Until fatality do us part’, in their self-deceited yen
For the only Cutie-pie on my heart.

Premium Member Graceful

The trick is to be grateful when your mood is high and graceful when it is low. Richard Carlson
 
____________________________________________________________

Who lives fully? Oh, such a sight to foresee!
A life so valuable, so graceful, and so carefree
With every passing day, raw insights mold.
A quilt of tales, a life worth relating to gold

In such an enormous and chaotic universe.
A tremendous grace symphony, a karmic verse
Unspoken dancing with exquisite footwork
Heart and intellect are enthralling for the network.
 
In this ethereal universe, grace rules supreme.
Witness the riotous swirl of an opulent dream.
Akin to a swan in still waters, it glides with ease.
Through every swirl and turn, it aims to please.

In this refined world of demeanor and charm,
Where cuteness finds its place, in a grace arm
From inept souls to those with aesthetic eyes,
Let us witness the antelope's lithe sighs.
 
With gentle gestures and a voice serene.
A language of grace that's seldom seen
Their eyes orate volumes with every glance.
A silent communication, a cosmic dance

With gazelle feats, their steps lilting
In refined motion, willowy and beguiling.
No cumbersome stumble, no swallow of pride,
Fluent and slender, glide with a sylph stride.

Consort kindness, from sullen to refined,
Irreligious views, swapped by goodwill, bind.
In this world of amnesty and dower grace,
Blest with piety, they effortlessly embrace
 
In the intricacies of every choreographed zest,
Imbue the essence of what it means to nest,
Kindness and pristine passion can transcend
All quests and discordances are keen to mend.

A stance of graceful behavior, a testament,
Might love and respect, and how are meant?
To steer us through life with dignity and grace,
To induct a realm where clear heed bears place.

New Grounds To Shrink a Kiss

I could feel the rhythm of my obscure 
thoughts in sync
sturdy scrutiny, into the mirror
I glimpse deeply in the 
reflection of the nymph
somehow I outwit the quixotic 
hold of the sylph,
frightened to my demise, 
tons of strength fills my belly,
blinking lights, driving under the influence of my mind

You!
you ruined everything,
I'm not in the position to connect
or link to you no more,
no! I'd never use me this woefully 
i’d never use me this poppy
but you did!
you Did!!
you stopped before we even proceeded

You were my everything,
my everything!
still you mortified me horrifically 
you neglected our tryst,
don’t! 
don’t try convincing me to feel better,
you built my moments yours
left me in the cold

I remember every lie you notified me with,
crushed my hopes with thunderstorm,
pushed my stoicism without no thinking, 
rejected my Lips and kiss like cancer,
I curse the day I thought forever,
you moved me into inferno,
let me inquire one more time

Do you ever think of me?
shhh! shhh! lies! lies!!
I stridently oppose those professed fibs 
they seem untrue
wait! my confusion is your continuous lifestyle 
in untruthfulness  

You split my bosom in seconds
left me in 2
I detest you!
I detest how you lived without me
I hooked you when you cut down

I smiled when they jested
held you by the kneels, put you right back on edge
still, you picked the nerve to pull out on me
you quit on me?

Exploiting yet preying on me?
how do you feel?
no! do not dodge

Respond to me, how do you feel now?
did you think you could live without me?

Ugh, this sunrise encounter is terrible 
with you here

i’m Completely 

Buggered Now, You Should Forget Me.
