Premium Member Mystical Moments

the unconscious
      a source of images&actions
      in disguise&gestures
      with slips of tongue
interpreted
      with
         simile&metaphor
       of
          libidinal desire
listening 
to the unsound
                    made loud
                    opened
                    out of view
id&ego
         expanded
         frustrated  freed
         impulses exposed
         as
           universal symbols
         from
           the repository of memory
          the fiction
              of dream&myth
transitioned
       into the realm
                  of reality
INSIGHTS
a delight to mediate
              on green pasture
        beside
             quiet waters
on a profound
         presence
                   pivotal patterns
rich
emblematic repetitive
           to stimulate&arouse
                           the intellect
delight the muse
             to pen
                 fetters freed
constraints&traits
enigmas &illusions
                          magnified
     made
       manifest
                 again

Premium Member Camelot

O Camelot! O Camelot!
The winds have changed, the land got hot!
Though dromedaries are quite neat,
A bactrian's hard to unseat,
And so the knights still joust a lot.

At banquet feasts, the men are found,
And like the table, they are round.
The reason they are heavy-set:
Girls now see knighthood as a threat;
Who lives life chaste and honor-bound?

Sir Galahad, a handsy lad;
His boasting made the maidens mad.
Now saddled with the cursed #metoo,
Chivalrous days of riding through,
He gardens, in his armor clad.

And then there is Sir Lancelot
Sad, as he aged, he weirder got.
Exchanging quests for lowly toils,
He traveled far just lancing boils,
Relieving pustulence and rot.

And Arthur lost what he held dear:
His lovely bride, his Guinevere
The evil witch, Morgana Fay
Transitioned her without her say,
And as a knight she does appear.

O Camelot! I just cannot
Believe the damage time has wrought.
And now the lady of the lake:
A charlatan, a fraud, a fake!
Ran off with Merlin, on his yacht.

Dear Mom,

As always, you are truly right
The world has lost sight
Of what truly matters— 
Genuine human connection, kindness..

Indeed, we've all become disconnected 
From not only each other but nature itself.
 Like a shadow cast upon a wet painting 
The future is losing, present gaining.

I noticed, the race is always on
It's not where we stumble, but where we're bound.
I've seen the straw, her flare is gone
Her words, once solace, now a machine gun.

As you wisely imparted
Look not where you fall, but where you tripped 
My ship was wrecked, my heart was stripped 
Stripped of true emotions, left with hate.

True —time, like the tide, waits for none
In mere months after you're gone, I've transitioned
The man you foresaw, weathering storms
Now glimpses the shore, a new future reborn.

Consideration

I'm not the kind of man that common consideration would consider
I consider what to follow and consider myself a leader
I have tickled few fancies and caught eyes just as few
Of vast worlds I have slightly known, but I could be that small world they never knew

I am developed and not just conditioned
I have changed and not just transitioned
Christ in my heart guides and transcends
Leading me away from swaying trends

Therefore I am a man among men
Though I could be a man like other men
Christ alone is my chaperon
In every road I take on

I would love to claim to be the best but I'm just me
The best and only me you'll ever see
I therefore am content and I don't contend
For I comprehend that my cause awaits me to attend

The Season Person

The season person comes around for a time and then has to leave 
It’s not personal, so don’t take the absence as something done lightly or with ease 
The season person just can’t stay forever, as it is time to sail 
Because there are so many people living with anger, agony, sadness and despair 

People ask about the season person, to see how they are doing as they rarely ask for help 
At times they have a wide variety of skills, you could label as an apprentice or a temp 
There to help those whose mind are in critical condition 
Often times, put in multiple devastating life-scenarios to relate to the mind to know how it was formed and transitioned 

The season person, is not for the faint hearted 
As they often revisit what kept them in so much darkness 
As they are often pulling others out and learning where it all began, where it all started
Realizing why others became so lost, so confused and so guarded 
If they are not careful, their own darkness can latch on to them again, it can swallow them up over and over
Making their life like a pendulum swing motion and remaining alone as they need time to recover 

You may never hear from the seasonal person again 
As they learn more and experience more, they are forced to level up and energy can become more intense
Believe me when I say they will always care about you 
And you will always have a place in their hearts and can always reach out if you are feeling a little blue

Premium Member Night Drone

Parts of me lay scattered around now 
Wailing and misery from the nursing home 
A cup of ice water
Maybe a spoon of ice cream 

My only attempt to sooth her

Nights uninterrupted seem
Like a spaceship entering another realm

Rushing to the phone

Pleading for relief
Frantic, I call for the night nurse

Calling back in 30mn praying for

A calm voice

My day planned to scour groceries 
And deli's
Hoping for the perfect creation 
Or taste she craves

Updates from her care team
Always the same hated word

Declining 

My girls secretly know
A picture of my grandchildren 

Brings a smile to the corners
Of her mouth

My car knows the short drive to her
A fast-entry spot awaits

Peaking at her daily letters to dad

18 years, everyday the same first line

"My darling, I love you, I miss you
Please bring me home"

A dozen journals, now stacked
By my bed

The quiet of the night drones on

Your home now Mom 

And forever in my heart

"Hold a place for me mom"......

Life changed, faces changed climate changed and surroundings changed.

Seemed like I transitioned too, but apparently it wasn't so true.

Deep inside, I still wanted the same things, 
to the core I was manipulated by the very strings.

From outside I was another version, 
but somewhere I knew it was only a diversion.

Along the road, waiting when my heart says to stop, 
blur out everything but you, edit your life and crop.

One day, I did hear a feeble sound, 
long gone ray of light was again found.

Starting then, it was me against me, 
since then it hasn't stopped, made me free.

As the strong winds pull me back,
my heart's timid voice pushes me forward on the track.

Won't ever let this voice fade out, 
for this is the thing I can't live without.

Premium Member Hummingbird Man

Every hum
How sweet
Rhythm the sound
Franklyn Greene the man
Had his own demand
Lived to proof
Enthused
True Sportsmen
Solid foundation
Hourglass timed out
Whispers from the distance
Distances far and close
Yesterday’s past
Tomorrow’s everlasting
The one day came
Followed by soar
Beyond the eyes of the world
Descended and transitioned
I will always remember
Encouragement gained
Honor in the Blakie call
Embrace from Brotherly to Brotherly
Heart driven with every beat
Every talk was a treat
Every joke had a laugh
Peace, Comfort and Tranquility
Thank you for your friendship
This is not goodbye, but until we meet again
Blakie waves
I promise I will behave
Blakie out

Travel

It was this world’s most popular word people use for a fancy trip they take “Travel”

My definition was a mile’s journey taken from one place to another in life 

I moved from painful events as I transitioned into all sorts of places
My happy ones filled with flowers 
My sad ones filled with anxiety and depression making this journey all worth it like four seasons as each one has its beautiful definition 

I used the travel word as I verbally went through counselling to align my soul with my body, mind and spirit and crossed over the road less travelled

Many people travel using different travel mediums such as cars, busses, planes, boats and the likes 
With me, it is always different and blossoming 
Nothing like what others use to be transported to their destinations 
With me, my travels are always my life experiences 

I had variations without even thinking about my own moods, but as a writer 
I needed to know just when to double my final consonant and when I should not 

I deviated from my practice only when I used this word “Travel” no matter my stress pattern as my final consonant doubled 

With this word came determining factors of places, memories and friends I made along this journey
