Some Different Kind of Lost Heaven

"Some Different Kind of Lost Heaven"

Every once and a while
she would surface 
from that brackish 
dark place 

as a nightingale sings
in the deepest pockets
of a Woolf, the rocks
heavy notes, are removed 

and like Persephone
escape doesn’t arrive
freely, but burns for some 
slight duration, listing selvedge

staggered freedom found
spreading wings wide
along the unsteady horizon
the sunrise lights her song

‘til the dark horses
of Pluto rampage in 
steal her back out of time
to place of labyrinth twined

in fields of Elysian poppies
dreams put to sleep 
behind closed eyes 
some different kind

of lost heaven
where forever is night
where the lost 
Nightingales sing

(LadyLabyrinth / 2022)

“I thought how unpleasant it is to be locked out; 
and I thought how it is worse, perhaps, to be locked in.”
(Virginia Woolf, The Voyage Out)

“I feel so intensely the delights of shutting oneself up 
in a little world of one’s own, with pictures and music 
and everything beautiful.”
(Virginia Woolf, The Voyage Out)

“I want to write a novel about Silence," he said; 
“the things people don’t say.”
(Virginia Woolf, The Voyage Out)





Persephone. 
Pluto.

Cereal Killer

She ain't nothing but a cereal killer
She's murder with a gallon of milk
If you need convincing, Cap'n Crunch is still missing
And that Chocula guy is down for the Count

She ain't nothing but a cereal killer 
Gets her Kix pulling off her Trix
As she bids them Cheerio being more in the know
Than a bowl of FrankenBerry buried below Honey Oh's

She ain't nothing but a cereal killer
Winning them over with her Lucky Charms
No way to deny she eats them alive
As she Frosts Tony the Tiger like Corn

She ain't nothing but a cereal killer 
Finds pleasure in the Shredding of Wheat
Using Fruity Pebbles to go along with her evil
As she spoons out her dirty deeds

She ain't nothing but a cereal killer
Easily making history out of Rice Krispy treats
What ever you do keep an eye on her Fruit Loops
That kind of crazy nobody needs

Premium Member Glenn Hughes Appreciation

Glenn Hughes has been performing
For over 50 years
He is the Voice of Rock

Glenn has been in many bands
Finders Keepers, phenomena, Deep Purple
California Breed, Voodoo Hill, the Dead Daisies
Black Country Communion, Trapeze,
Black Sabbath and more

He has many studio albums
And has also been in collaborations
With thrall, robin george and joe Lynn Turner
To just name a few
But be sure to check out his two albums with
Tony Iommi

He regularly goes on tour
And is now doing a deep purple tour
Burn, getting tighter, sail away, Stormbringer
Are just some of the songs he’s covering

Glenn loves his fans
And he writes about the human condition 
His songs are very powerful

Each month I run a Glenn Hughes inspired
Poetry contest 
Can you write something so grand?

As long term aspiring

an imponderable quandary

     most likely experienced

     one pesky bugbear
that just dawned, (within the mind

     of this former tony

i would bet mine

unequivocally established writers

     to thy unique flavonoid flair
with words this scrivener displays,

     where oft times decrypting
     (mine block chain) dost jam
     at least one cerebral cog and gear
no matter how far away from me,

     this mind can telepathically hear,
colorful epithets, thus
     seriously considering donning,

     driven by a harsh grammatical taskmaster,

Premium Member Tony the Pony's Little Princess Part Two

TONY THE PONY’S LITTLE PRINCESS 
PART TWO

Two weeks ago, we got a very excited call 
From our friends on the farm,
Tony’s sexy young lady, 
Shady,
Had given birth to a small
Beautiful baby pony,
She was named Charm!
Over the following week they sent
Us many a Whats App, with photos galore,
My heart sung, this longed for event
Had finally come, Tony a father, proud
To his very core!
Our friends knew how Tony and I 
Had bonded,
As he had stood under the cedar tree,
And knew that I really, honesty
And earnestly wanted
To be the first to know, I shrieked 
With glee!
Tony and Charm posed for a photo
Which duly, was forwarded to me.
I was so happy and proud of Tony, Shady
His lady, and Charm,
Who would live a wonderful life,
On Betty and Bill’s farm!
But we are planning a trip 
To visit my god-daughter,
Yes, that was the privileged title
Given to me, I wanted to flip
My lid!
Can you just imagine, how awesome
It will be, 
To see
And meet Charm!
But what present do I take to
A two month old pony, your input is vital!
Perhaps if you wish to comment
You could advise me what to 
Give Charm,
Tony’s little princess, who lives a carefree 
Life With her mom and dad on
Our friends, wonderful farm!

Easy Place at 1015 A Conversation between a Prince and Krishna

Prince: Being in a place of unrest is rather confounding to the nature of the location when others describe the environment. For our person of the scholar’s cloth there lies the stone of fire and the pillars of the traveler.
Krishna: Pillar one teaches the person how they should live. This becomes a journey of looking into different states (beliefs) and applying them as living principles. 
Prince: The dropbox of common dogma for one is not needed for the other. The dogma is detrimental as it denies the words of the Son. The dogma states about networking but destruction is the key to understanding when they apply their beliefs. They have been the classical, and modern Moral Orel’s in society.
Krishna: Pillar two is about standing for knowledge and learning to see people from the Locke perspective with the understanding of Maslow, Adler, Freud, Erikson, Spinuzzi, Bacon, Copernicus, Galileo, Pratarelli, Weber, Mohammad, Yeshua. 
Prince: The knowledge pillar is the most critical to finding the answers to everything that is a problem of conformity, social disruption and foolishness. Maslow spoke about the hierarchy of needs in humanity. Siddhartha Gutama knew about this and called it Nirvana. Adler believed in holism as an understanding of the people. Tony Cassidy would write about this in 1997 from an environmental perspective. Everyone else would use the mind and universe to answer questions about our place and actions in the grand tapestry.
Krishna: Pillar three is about the knowing of the Self and not relying on others for the interpretation of the Self. Hearing the words of others should only be heard and not a full rewrite of the person. Not everyone will like the speaker as they choose to live in their excrement.
Krishna: The stone of fire is the love, dedication that helps them endure everything. It is the embodiment of Odin’s eye, the blood of the divine, the tears of those that can never be quenched by only one person. The stone is the testament to those that have been part of the journey. It tells of those that have betrayed the scholar. 
Prince: All of this was learned at a place called Easy Place, where everything was a central hub that nearly overtook its name to becoming the ‘Forgotten Valor of the Soul.’  
Krishna: The other pillars are of a different time for the traveler and of other statuses.

Sorry jay Townsend Johnson

Premium Member King Pleasure bebop jazz singer

King Pleasure bebop jazz singer vocalese hipster/
 a legend he was/
 a master at writing lyrics to solos of jazz instrumentalists such as the lyrics to Charlie Parker's "Parker's Mood"/
 His scat singing was genius along with improvising on melodies and his ability to use his voice as vocalese in bending the pitch of notes as an instrument/
  man, this cat was way gone/
 Pleasure's vocal dynamics was scat sing sorcery/
 in the pocket to his jazz cool new hipster jazz talk/
 his sax like phrasing on lyrics went to another level and beyond the great Eddie Jefferson/
 now dig this you jazz boppers/
 King Pleasure's big jazz hit was "Moody's Mood For Love" lyrics by Eddie Jefferson written to the sax solo on "I'm In The Mood For Love" by James Moody/
  the mighty hipster King was a master at using vocal inflection on words slicing through the night and sung at the speed of light/
 rhythms collide on his phrasing to the bebop lyrics to    Gene Ammons " Hittin The Jug" was renamed by Pleasure as "Swan Blues"/
 King Pleasure had a direct influence Mark Murphy, Al Jarreau, Jon Hendricks, and the Manhattan Transfer singing group/
 look out people cuz at the time King Pleasure was steppin’ into a new jazz sound swingin'  jazz vocalese with ease/
 Pleasure was somethin' else man/
 a jazz cat with a new perspective on jazz singing to the highest jazz power/
 he was a new edition to the way he blew people’s minds
  his lyrical light shined so bright/
 he wasn't a throwback/
  he was the new jack of word speak scat vocalese with ease/
improvising on the beat as his words wrapped around into a tapestry of sound/
every phrase a hip journey of Pleasure on King's treasure of jazzy notes speak/
in the realm of jazz his legacy profound/
King Pleasure knows no bound

Memory of Kerwin Rae - The man with a Mission

In Memory of Kerwin Rae - The man with a Mission

In loving memory of Kerwin Rae, who left us unexpectedly just days after celebrating his 50th birthday.

Kerwin was a remarkable figure—a motivational speaker, business coach, and virtually Australia’s own Tony Robbins. He reached millions, both in 
Australia and globally with his inspiring guidance, especially those facing ADHD and dyslexia, challenges he knew personally.

This video holds a special meaning, as mystic coincidences unfolded during its creation, including a heartfelt share from Elizabeth Rae, his grieving mother, on her channel. Elizabeth, herself an acclaimed author and coach on ‘Women in Stress’, (womeninstress.com.au), has touched lives through her own journey and work. It is an honor that she reached out. 

We are deeply touched to know that this video, with lyrics inspired by Kerwin’s teachings, was played at his funeral a few days ago.
Your comments here and by clicking above on my YouTube channel, where we share a brief of his life, would be a comfort to his mother, family, friends and followers. 

Your shares could bring hope to someone in need, when reflecting on Kerwin’s enduring influence through the lyrics, as well as uplift and give people purpose  in a world riddled with strife.

Thank you
