Premium Member Beauty Found Within

Beauty Found Within

What are you talking about that I am nobody.
I traveled deep and far
I came back with the ability
to see all the beauty within
Do not tell me I am ugly because I sin
I found myself while living in the life I deny
trapped in a pit, never did i think I would win

Give me a chance to explain myself
I destroyed all the beauty i once knew
Pushed it deep behind a wall rejecting reality
Living as a lost soul feeding myself on the weak
Roaming all alone
Spiting on this world, torching  my own will to love
God I put you to a side
That is still a book I am working on
The knowledge i once new, i through it all away
Living like a fool
to the worlds destructive ways
Trying to balance  out my life
I closed the doors to receive the perception of every way
taking a deep look I fell to my knees
opening the door to help the ones in need

God it makes me so mad to know
we always put the worlds blame on you
The death of the world is just another beauty
to the life we will have on the other side
The evil we have with in, is just a wake up call
To receive the things we choose not see
blinded by the truth that does not add up at all

Inner beauty buried by my own rage
I felt so  trapped,  somewhere inside
Crying to let her  out
I suffocate her  with my tongue 
Chanting for me to open my mouth
Now I take an oath to never betray her again.
nor  lock her  in the abyss inside of me
My beauty now overpowers the bite off the apple.
In which was taken from  us in the beginning of all  time

A small simple reminder,
That will sooner or later surface the outside
never in my wildest dreams did i imagined 
my beauty would  exposed for all to see
Now that i am strong i will stand up for myself
With God given gift I will also stand up for others
With my  beauty that has bloomed like a rose
I will take that beauty and share for all to see
I will walk where my senses  are needed  
you will follow just to get to know me.
With the reminder so simple as can be
To look, to feel, to perform, is a wake call upon self-image
I found my  beauty which is far more dangerous than vanity
the VALUES of life are the beauty given to me : )

Forewarning

12/5/20


Forewarning
It's only morning
But my day starts off far from boring
Usually up by 6 AM, not snoring

Weather getting colder or warming
Clouds in the sky forming
Soon to be storming
Thundering, and pouring
Nearby rapids that continue roaring
Birds in the sky soaring
Above houses with wooden or tile flooring

She acted like she was adoring
Then quickly was ignoring

Meanwhile I kept exploring
And scoring

Originating from the sourcing
As folks were still warring
It's rather abhorring

Did not get it done or was performing
My energy depleting and restoring
As time continues coursing
I found this life rather rewarding

Folks starving or gorging
Staying silent or reporting
Didn't always go according
To plan, but my own path I was always forging
The temperature scorching
People torching
Over one more thing
It's petty and useless, like hoarding

Did or did not get it in a recording
Was either false or accurate reporting
Against it or supporting

Cricketing Nirvanas and Nadirs

“Heady heights..bright neon lights..giddy delights

Arsonists torching the Indian empire

Reputations scorching..awash with brilliant whites

Gilded generation ire… spoils soiled in an oily quagmire

Sailing the conquest crest..Kiwi veneration..scaling Test Everest

Perturbed…wondrous walloping to disturbed lolloping..absurdly dire

Otherworldly umami of the Barmy Army tsunami

Marauding sneers trumpet.. foolish career nadirs..retire

Ghoulish gravity..devoured by a glutinous abyss

Bazball belter depravity..sensationally soured bucolic bliss 

Hoodwinking..hasten Black caps helter skelter sinking

Downed & drowned in a bottomless basin..stinking 

Hilariously or nefariously bombastic 

Bellicose blows vicariously fantastic

Lambasted & larruped..willow wizards’ blizzards

Scary..leery…Kiwis dreary..wary..weary

Boisterously babbling record book pleasing Brook..

Febrile lairy timber & turnstile teasing fairy

Frazzled dreams bedazzled by pyrotechnic memes

Peacocking cavorting with shocking ripsnorter slaughter

Lampooned buffoons marooned…as Jaffas deliriously spill.. festooned just like Seville

Bazball booming batting baritones..delicious blooming blossom

Vicious..nailed..pernicious.. flailed like an impaled pesky possum

Stranded in a leaking latrine…Baz branded..reeking of what could have been

Outrageously courageous…ridiculously sublime at the same time

Flat track thuggery fortuitously free from spin skulduggery?

Cosy club snubs…mandarins’ selectorial sins?

It’s coming home..it’s coming..in Welly on the telly..what we have seen

Prodigal Bazball from South D has already well & truly been"

Restless

I can't sleep, I twist and turn… memories keeping me awake… I am restless... sleepless nights... I am living in a nightmare...I am haunted by your face …I can't stop crying ...tears ...tears...I have no peace ...so many shattered promises...will I ever get any rest?

You have your perfect sleep next to your new queen and I am here twisting and turning... I have no comfort here…twist and turn ...memories...thinking of you with someone else breaks my heart, it keeps me up every night...so restless.... twisting and turning ...my restless nights, haunted by your face…it keeps me up every night...what a nightmare...I am living in hell... burning fire …the flame torching my heart ...I just can't sleep...so restless…twisting and turning…will I ever get any sleep?

Premium Member Liking Miss Fancy

A chipmunk fell under my spell today.
I am magnificent, so of course, it was not totally unexpected,
plus chipmunks have always been attracted to me.

She immediately recognized me as a mystical, magical, Komodo dragon, 
and she wanted to tell her relatives, for she liked being the first with the news.
You know the type.

I could have none of that, being the only Komodo dragon left, in generations
of magical, mystical dragons.  If she told, I might disappear forever, and then who would save the planet?  So I brought her to my dragon lair, and we had a bit of a chat.

Her name was Miss Fancy, and she was all of that; eating her sandwiches with her pinkie up. She had never tasted peanut butter banana sandwiches before, and let me know how great they are.

Komodos do not eat that kind of food, being strictly carnivores, but I resisted every urge to eat her, and it worked.  Miss Fancy promised she would not tell anyone about my mystical, magical side, which she and only she had seen, so I released her back into her meadow with her friends.

Almost as soon as she was released she began travelling door to door, and I suspected she was not merely delivering May baskets.  I turned invisible to listen, and was astounded at how many people laughed at her for thinking there was a real Komodo dragon.  None believed, and she was the laughing
stock of Chipmunk Village.

I cannot tell you the relief I felt for I had grown fond of her, and did not relish torching her with my mighty flames, for a chipmunk is not much of a bite anyway.

Premium Member Lake

In the depths of Mt Rainier fire stirred,
The earth around trembled in dire anger,
As the fiery spirit Elf wandered
In the depths of the spouting volcano
Exuding thick feculent, fusty smells,
And from the volcano's top, exuded
Ash, smoke, flaming rocks and burning lava.

Dare a human female refuse Elf?
Not that he loved her as Indians love.
His fervid lust for her knew no limit.
His anger increased beyond all known bounds.
Rising to the top of the volcano,
Elf hurled fireballs, torching the forests,
So that poor humans flew towards a lake.

There they prayed to their good God to save them.
A large stone fell into the volcano
Burying Elf and his hateful fire.
A fearful blizzard formed and rain and snow
Filled the volcano until all was calm.
A large lake formed and a lovely island
Rose majestically from the waters:
A seventh wonder of Columbia.

Premium Member KOMOREBI

       KOMOREBI

        Pushing dense bush walking in pathless forest
        under tree canopy, continuous.
        At dawn sun rays penetrating at best,
         torching dark tunnel , making luminous.

       Sunbeams filtered by leaves and foliage
       interplaying sheen and shade to astound.
       Komorebi  cast on dappled image
       forming lovely lattice on forest ground.

        Komorebi caused by leaf lamina.
        Pretty patterns to adorn forest floor.
        Sunlight is sieved by leafage patina.
        Wonder and dreams of sunbeam to adore.

        Morn glow of Komorebi ! End of night.
        Dark shadowed tunnel on opacity,
        finding flash of thin shafts of twinkled light.
        Profound pure pristine tranquility .
        
        When sunlight shines through tree in environ
         Contrast of light and shadow to receive 
         on re-energised radiant ion,
         Komorebi  to charm at morn and eve.

             54, 000 California Acres Lost




            While you're snug in your pajamas 
            Or having French Toast,
            Californians are being evacuated
            before they roast!
            The winds at sixty,horrific miles an
            hour.

            Torching homes and trees in beautiful 
            Sonoma County as they burst.
            Wine country, Napa, closing all its 
            all schools,
            As the Sonoma fire growls and is more 
            Than cruel.

            Millions living without any power.
            Please say a prayer or, three!
            For those on the run, trying to get
            free.
            With winds at sixty miles per hour,
            the footage shows, 
            I bow my head in prayer.

            Not comprehending the such hot, red, 
            vistas.
            But on my knees for my fellow
            Californians in flight..
            My unknown, brothers and sisters!

Premium Member crime of passion

"murder me"

she whispered ...
lips pressed to my nape -
soft-nipping skin
for her betrayal of husband and
family meant as much …
we both knew the sacrifices
and we accepted the cost that instant
then, and for the scandalous
time to come …

she was lost in me -
straddling, pressing … and I, lost in her
so rooted that I was becoming
her in flesh - in all senses …
nothing mattered anymore but
passion and its pyre
torching all in its torrid wake -
all that had mattered
'til then …

it was a horrid
thing for her to speak aloud -
to place in such dire phrasing
yet it was ALL I wanted -
all that I needed and cared
to hear … "murder me”
she whispered again, pressing down
"for I am nothing now ...

“but yours."

Premium Member Where Frozen Embers Still Burn

Where Frozen Embers Still Burn


Frozen, in a darkened moments cold,
preserving, youth denied its growing old,
flames that severed psyches cord
arson at the hands of those who “serve the lord”.

Living in an ice block embered hate
all that might have been numbly laid waste
locked both in and outside of the gate
homeless amid the “keepers of the faith”.

Deafened by the pealing of the bells
sentencing a child to lifeless hells,
carrying the weight of sinner’s sin
because they told him it belonged to him.

Embers, that were tended, fueled with rage
warming, ever slowly, livings flame
refusing to be locked in clerics cage
torching the lie “I was to blame”.
