Premium Member Unspoken Politics

What a sick monster of a man creeping 
around with no morals ramming sick agendas 
Inside twisted ideas down peoples throats
 
All the time smiling in his deeply disturbed soul 
paying his thirty pieces for the ferry man 
Your entry unto the devilish domain 

He disguises himself falsely as caring about people
when the suffering lie on trolleys unattended 
As the homeless keep rising 

Selling off state owned assets without consent 
from the nation he should be prosecuted 
under high treason of the state 

Face the life sentence appropriate to such crime 
Under the eighth ammendment our nations law 
was passed and still stands tall 

We are the land of saints and scholars 
A generation of God's seed 
We will not be involved in such a disgusting pact

One with blood as it's signature 
which has been addressed by this countries kin 
in the constitution clearly written as an unlawful act

He should be imprisoned to have such a biast mind 
closed to the reality of home truth against the living in God's holy book 
his only written words arc of his seed and covenant


Remembering the Days...

Remembering the days
when I was loved by friends
while memories are vividly seen,
as if they are woven into reality...

Living in the past,like a dreamer,
won't change a thing;
In spite of distance,
I still find delight
in their joyous faces;
deep wrinkle and gray hair
are the enemies I can't fight!
I'm getting older by the day,
as an awareness 
and earnest warning
not to dispose of this age,
but to learn daily from it! 

Trustworthy and reliable friends,
I would like to possess
your strenght to cope
with an unspeakable tragedy,
a loss or a doleful defeat;
are you like me:   twisted by dissent,
judged and treated unfairly
or completely misunderstood?
One can't be too demure or innocent
to let those facts control your destiny;
if confidence and self-descipline
aren't instilled within the adolescent years,
hurt,rejection and impelling sorrow:
lift up hurdles you can't bring down
with the speed and force of an arrow! 

Remembering the days
we conquered life's joys
with the zest of warriors;
remembering the days
when the enthusiasm
made us high-spirited
and indulge in pleausures
that cannot be described...
to go beyond the unforbidden limits,
to know what laid ahead of us...
raptured by an ingenous realism!

Admired and missed friends,
it should be joyful to remember you all,
good friends always offer solace...
when words seem not to flow
and thoughts are locked up in deep silence;
here,with lively and subliminal visions,
I cross the void between
absence and distance...
to be a part of you again!

Premium Member Let Us Face This Attack Head On

This world prefers to live under the shadows 
in order to hide its truly evil daily works.
confronting these misplaced loyalties begs answers 

Communications literally has taken position centrefold promoting hate 
many Holy shrines have been desecrated 
objective extremists call for the removal of crosses 

There should be a voice of concern now condemning such force 
is this the generation spoken of where education alters our children's minds 
through perverted literature trying to destroy innocence 

The final attack on truth has become an obstacle filled with facts 
political correctness has long damned itself lying constantly 
and we stand curled up in silence unable to speak 

Wide awake can see with clarity inside the powers of this planet 
in those that has gone to war against the light of God entering teachers 
for to protect our little ones giving good example firstly 
from this ugly twisted democracy and saving them before they fall victim 
Is it time again to lock your doors and mark them with with the blood of the Lamb

Premium Member Twisted Bitterness

He sinks further into bitterness 
with each sip of oblivion....... 
slurping....gulping grudges and blame 
with every malicious mouthful. 

He remains suspended in cynicism; 
hurtling missiles of misery mixed 
with murky twisted memories in an 
attempt to justify his tangled truth. 

Untruths in reality, but his realism 
is unreal.....swishing, diluted by 
the destruction of hate; imbibed with 
one more beer or glass of Merlot. 

How sad this man frozen in animosity. 
What a waste of precious time. 
Life languishing in antipathy. 
Pathetic intemperance....... 

Put that bottle down sir - 
drink this instead, savour it, 
smell the bouquet, Beaujolais... 
swallow the future, and spit out the past.

Premium Member Minuet At Dawn

At horizon’s crest a faint light arcs
its thin line widens from across the sea
she flutters maiden wings from her nest
on a rocky crag near a twisted tree. 

Warm light dances with shadows at dawn
amidst white quartz lines and sandstone cliffs
a young gull flies with confident wings
his sinews are strong as he glides through the rifts. 

Sea salt air mingles with pungent scents
as pounding tides pulsate along the shore
his guttural cries echo all around
she hears his sibilant sounds and wants more. 

Drawing her wings, she ups and takes flight
lifting her head, croons a soft, soothing song
swiftly he swoops to her side to dance
flying in tandem, they greet the new dawn.

Similar and Different Levels

6/8/16


Not everything you'll get
Back on my bull
I ain't the one to fold quick
Had days of nothing but ice cold grits
Regardless just trying to live life to the fullest
No time to spend at any pulpit
And I will never stick to the same old script 

Listen
Don't get it twisted
I'm not a buddhist, muslim or a christian
I believe in wisdom
And facts not fiction

Now what is the meaning in all these hieroglyphics
I'm interested in the specifics
But nothing religious
Near the Atlantic, Arctic, Indian, and Pacific
From the start to finish

With my vision
Many things were overlooked and hidden
Even when I stuck to the mission
Underneath skies that were blue, grey and crimson


The sediment falls and settles
Above and below flower petals
And buildings made of metals
On similar and different levels

Give or take
I think we could relate
I make mistakes

Premium Member Frenemies I have a Few

We hate each other's point of view.
We beg to differ to avoid a blew.
We reach across the deep chasm divide,
To sit for a time on the other side.

Yet we are friends, despite all this,
Content to pretend that ignorance is bliss.
As we set our differences aside, 
Hold space to hear and let our feud slide.

We enjoy this game we jointly play,
Where trust and doubt have their way.
We frenemies are both foe and friend
With an ironic paradox that will never end.

So, let's drink to ties that bind
Us together, twisted, and intertwined.
As friend and enemy threads over-sewn 
To interlock our relationship set in stone.

Lost Ski Mountains

For fifteen years the peak has sat fallow,
abandoned to time as trees and bushes grow,
driving by always evokes a sigh in me,
long ago this hill was where I learned to ski.

But the industry is not what it once was,
snowmaking and insurance drove up the cost,
this place where families once spent the day,
now sits shuttered, slowly rotting away.

The old lodge has lost half its windows,
its siding faded by the sun's harsh glow,
there’s a giant hole up on top of the roof,
and graffiti sprayed by some drunken youth.

Lifts still stand, but all the chairs are down,
stacked in rows, rusting on the ground,
the cables now vanished into the trees,
paint is peeling, the lift shacks all moldy.

Laying nearby, twisted and half-stacked,
as if subjected to medieval torture racks,
sit piles of broken, old snowmaking pipe,
now simply scrap, glinting in noon-day light.

Saddest of all is the half-visible ski trails,
now covered in saplings, young, health, and hale,
where once me and my sibling fiercely raced,
where more than once I fell flat on my face…

The white swath of beauty clad in snow,
that once adorned this peak’s long slopes,
now grows in like pasture gone to seed,
it's become a place where mosquitoes breed.

It may seem bizarre, to some out there,
mourning for the cold and frozen air,
but this place once meant so much to us,
now given over to saplings and rust…

…sigh…

Abstract World

An Abstract World..
Of which..
Surrounds..
Vivid colors so bright 
The eyes cannot ignore the vision..
Eyes feasting on a masterpeice 
Beyond beautiful and breathtaking..

Reflections of pure magnificence..
Twisted and mysterious representations of existence..
Falling into the abstract world..
Where lies the unknown..

Submerged in awe..
A wonderland of bliss..
A magical awakening..
A maze
Twists and turns 
Floating happily..
Flying in abstract..
A mystical journey awaits..
Thrillseekers drenched in excitement..

Santurated in the hidden and unhidden..
Embellish in an Abstract World..
Where lies mysticism .. 
In an inner world beyond beautiful..
Beyond breathtaking..

Premium Member Mercy Street

Fish scale sequin  
Burn unit skin  
Glittering in the blister  
DNA altered by radiations kiss  
Chromosomes twisted like transistors  
Sunlight falls around the sister  
She hums her prayer in the morning dew  
In gardens beyond the walls  
Where patients cannot crawl  
To puff on cigarettes

She walks the realm of the undead  
The absent minded  
The ones out of body  
Floating between the wards  
Geriatrics and psychiatry  
Pop the pills and pray for peace  
Luminal states glowing in the crease  
She thinks that is where God might be

She waits with the diva in sequins  
Burnt to the shins  
Removed of all sins  
The priest left hours past  
She looks into the poor girls eyes  
Waits for any sign  
Lightning in the sky  
Iris at night  
Sleep too bright

But shepherds are rarely seen  
In this quiet realm  
Where the only sound  
Is the beat of the machines  
As they pump out the last signal  
Total eclipse of the heart  
Gone too soon  
Never to part  
Words recorded on rings  
In ceremony  
In spring

The world turns on a string  
Cosmic and stretched thin  
Will they remember  
The summer of loves surrender  
When the girl who came from the street  
Died in the heat

Journalist captures the kiss  
Riot in the street  
Rue Misericorde  
Mercy Street  
Emergency needs

Nun closes the eye  
Coins for the ferryman  
Cross over the river  
Cross to the sea  
She gives the body to time  
She leaves the bedside  
The sequins fall to the floor  
The diva has been here before

Forty hours in the sun  
Eyes burned from the light  
She saw it flicker  
Saw it fade  
Not ready to end the phase  
The shift  
The drift

The moment at the door  
Three times knocking

She tries to see  
Who answers the door  
Who waits  
Who wakes  
Who stays  
Who suffers the silence of remaining

She waits her turn  
Spinning the wheels of fate  
Dancing along the periphery  
Of destiny

Is she the guide  
Or the obstruction  
Clear the channel  
Empty the cell  
This is the moment no one will tell  
But she remains  
To gather up the dust  
When the moment is rust
