Baqreid the 2nd Eid

This day to celebrate the supreme sacrifice
of the ancient prophet Abraham
This day to ponder and reminisce
that divine substitution of Ismail for a ram! 

This Quranic and biblical factual story
shall never diminish in its age-old glory

That superb reliance on and compliance with the will of God
eternally for man to learn from and applaud.

Upon his awesome trust in the unseen, let his kind marvel
and of submission, devotion to God bestow him a laurel

And now for the sake of mutual unity and festivity
first let all of humanity
release their doves of peace
and let them fly freely, unprovoked, unrestrained
with olive branches in their beaks

such that when angels who predicted
forever feuding humans
look down they see instead
6 billion or more two fingers up
in a huge mass of humanity
signalling for and meaning to keep the peace! 

But mind you, world peace is to be everybody's goal
so let no one leave space for any loop-hole.
EID GREETINGS everybody.

Premium Member 4th Grade Music Room

Under her guidance, we stood at attention
Like a row of young soldiers, reciting the anthem
"Oh Say, Can You See?".. was a warbled contusion,
that could shatter your glasses, disturb other classes
out of tune, out of rhythm, but with avid enthusiasm 
it could rattle the rafters of our little school

And with childish delusions, we thought we were cool!

As we  stood in the room
she would move down the line
with a frown in the depth
of her leathery brow.  She would bow
till her ear matched our voice
and her hand would be poised
with two fingers that cued,
keeping time with the tune.

She would grit all her teeth
bite the inside of cheeks
Such a serious task!
it was all that she asked
that we please.."DO YOUR BEST!"

When we mastered, at last
She would gasp, then exclaim
as we sang each refrain,
mixed with tears, she would clap

I remember it now...
Here I stand in this row
with my hand on my heart
as the first strain imparts
Yes, I know those old words...
they'll remain part of me
'til the day that I die
"O Say, Can You See?"...still familiar to me

But no..............I can't see....
             with fresh tears in my eyes...

     Has intuition become, an educated guess 
  Improvisation needing impromptu readdress 
 Think fast on one’s feet, after making a stand 
 All at sea, seemingly tripping across dry land 

      Peculiar situations, we find ourselves in
      Facing the music, for causing such a din
    Take it on the chin, whilst giving back cheek
  You make me smile, lying through broken teeth 

     Gestures signals, often mean to confuse 
     High five, fist bump, handshake refused
   Gesture two fingers, up yours, sign of peace
   Sweating profusely, through effort or unease

   Dichotomies, divisions, never black and white 
  Passive aggression, turns into malicious spite
    Break a leg, for the performance of one’s life
  Jack in the box, ripper springs out with a knife

       Mixed messages, better not jump the gun
 Gut reactions, stand your ground, should I run 
      Playing it cool, whilst turning up the heat 
   Shake hands before a game, meaning to cheat

     Sticking out tongues, in contempt, no a kiss
       Crying in sadness, tears of ecstatic bliss
     Such is life, such is death, come friend or foe
   What’s going on in our mind, do we ever know

For Those Who Choose To Stay

all that i want for you is our peace
all that i want for you is our peace
hands are tied and young
can't you see?

Where will we go when there is no journey to embark
People only exist as shadows alone in the dark
you can pray and i'll do what i can to get by
Maybe one of us will see another day

Have you ever just taken a breath and enjoyed yourself
I'm beginning to see, who is winning in me
The lenin and fees, a ginuine breeze 
He continually believes in the falling of leaves

all that I want for you is our peace 
all that I want for you is our peace
Hands are tied and young 
Can you see?

two fingers apart, a crescent down the center
at times we admire the pleasantries of a mentor
I'm out on my heels, it seems i only stand for splentors
People are warmest when the sun fails in the winter

Candles dim, yet we continue to carry them
It takes mass production to handle film
soldiers and platoons channel the wind
in the end we were merely only men

all that i want for is our peace
all that i want for is our peace

Premium Member Fairy Dream

Falling magical dust 
Like on a cloud carpet 
Once upon a dream unfolds  

I dreamed 
In the smallest 
Of flowers 
Looking into the most 
Beautiful cup 
As the sun smiled 
I saw your face 

A sprinkling 
Between two fingers 
I give them to you 
Tiny little princess 
Fairy dust sparkling 
Who has the sweetest eyes 
To die for 

Melting in the deepest chambers 
Sweet like cotton candy 
Wishing away 
With the fairies 
On the scent of 
Her heavenly musk 

Enchanting like spell bewitches  
In the aroma of a thousand blooms 
Into the most wonderful dream 
You do enter
 
In a drop of morning dew 
The carriage 
To fairyland 
The air leaves still 

Breathless whisper 
On the wings of the heart 
Everything about you 
Floating in the mind 
Fluttering to my feet 
is beautiful angel 

The soul sparkling diamond blue fire 
colours beyond words timeless 
Bouquet the light 
circling around you 
Into the most amazing 
Dream world 
The greatest fantasy 
Ever known to man 

As I put my lips 
To the lily trumpet 
I blow music 
In a kiss 
I found 
My paradise 

To live 
in the fairytale 
You have found 
Your dream 
In dreaming 
They always 
Come true


Premium Member Duct Tape, Balin' Wire and Super Glue

I must admit that I ain't very handy with hammer and nails,
And am hopelessly at sea when figurin' technical details.
As to fixin' things with fancy tools, I haven't a clue,
But I'm a whiz at usin' duct tape, balin' wire and super glue!

Tho' it's somewhat unwieldly and it sure ain't too ornate,
Balin' wire can be used in an emergency as hinges for a gate!
'Tis perfect for securin' the droopin' bumper on my automobile,
And for supportin' the saggin' muffler, balin' wire is ideal!

No doubt you'll bond at least two fingers together, 'tis true,
But, Oh! The myriad of things to be fixed with super glue!
'Tis good for repairin' artificial teeth when in a pinch,
And for mendin' broken shards and earrings, 'tis a cinch!

How can we ever thank the feller who invented duct tape enough!
It holds the universe together!  Life without it would be tough!
It'll patch anything, gag a spouse, keep a man's toupee in place;
Why! It was even used to repair Apollo 13 in outer space!

With these marvels of the modern age I can tackle any situation,
Fixin' things with simple application and heady innovation.
Why should I be thwarted usin' nails, screws, staples and such,
When duct tape, super glue and balin' wire are my sturdy crutch!

Premium Member Gray Day Theater

Late spring  
	and the opening gasps 
	of summer’s blazing promise 
	bring whirling dark clouds, 
	horizontal rain, 
	fierce weather, 
	warning horns, 
	my blackness, 
	horizontality, 
	downright mean melancholy,
	and warning signs
	worthy of attention.

	I much prefer lazy storms 
	that I can listen to 
	at night in bed 
	after I’ve closed my book 
	(a defense mechanism
	so that the day doesn’t end
	and I’ll not have to live today 
	again tomorrow). 
	It’s neutral in that dark dark,
	my ears fine-tuning my mood, 
	thunder a tympanic counterpoint 
	to the forgetting I know is coming  
	with the assistance of 
	my nightly psychotropic, 
	without which I don’t sleep, 
	without which I 
	descend into despair. 
		
	My familiar,
	outside of me,
	sits patiently 
	in the chair across the room,
	legs crossed casually,
	cigarette dangling from
	the first two fingers of his left hand,
	waiting for dawn, 
	knowing that the overcast 
	will return tomorrow,
	and I’m his again.
	
	During these shadowy times 
	my dreams are the old ones 
	of failure and inadequacy
	of such intensity 
	that I force myself awake 
	to make them stop, 
	my pounding heart 
	and short shallow breaths
        lingering. 
	
	Oddly though, 
	bright days don’t always bring 
	an equivalent measure 
	of pleasant dreams,
	say, pastures of flowers, 
	faces I love,
	chocolate,
	tints of sweet colors. 
	Instead there is nothing, 
	and I wake knowing only that
	while I slept 
	no psychic comedy played for me, 
	no balance or compensation offered
	for the drama of gray day theater.

Hunger

The feeling of dread as I hear,
“Come for dinner.”
All I can truly think about:
“How many calories?”
“Will I gain weight?”
I’m truly scared that this is my fate.

Sitting in front of my toilet,
Two fingers stuck down my throat—
It’s a good feeling,
All I can do is boast.
I haven’t eaten in weeks;
It’s not foreign.
Is this really my calling?

They always say to me,
“You need to eat.”
But I don’t want to indulge
Into any delicious treat.
It’s too fattening.
Fat.
It’s my biggest fear to gain those pounds.

It’s scary, so I won’t eat.
After a while I couldn’t eat,
And it led me to no sleep.
Keep.
It’s not hard to keep words like these a secret;
In this world, beauty is all I believe in.

Grievance.
I grieve for the old me,
The one who didn’t care about food troubles,
Or the fact that I want a McDouble.
But I can’t—
I truly can’t.

It’s a struggle to not eat.
I swear it’s killing me.
I can’t stomach it.
I’ll be like this forever...
Well, I’ll just have to dwell in it.

Premium Member On second thoughts

When instinct becomes 
an educated guess
And improvisation 
demands quick redress
Like thinking on one’s feet
if too drunk to stand
Be found all at sea
throwing up on dry land

Twisted situations 
we find ourselves in
When bundles of joy
reek original sin
Smack on the butt
for showing a bit of cheek
Do everything perfect
be labelled a freak

Gestures, signals, 
often appear to confuse
High five, fist bump 
a sweaty handshake defused
One or two fingers: 
the bird a sign of peace
Kneel with respect 
submissive purr on a leash

Diversions, promises,
never black and white
Passive aggression
silent treatment for slight 
Jack in the box, ripper 
jumps out with a knife
Break a leg, for the 
performance of his life

Police warning: never 
mess around with guns
Gut reaction sparks a 
stampede, or the runs
Playing it very cool, 
whilst feeling much heat
Praying devoutly, 
burnt at stake for deceit

Sticking out one’s tongue 
in contempt, no a kiss!
Sigh of relief 
they were just taking the piss
Such is living, such is death 
come friend or foe
On second thoughts 
syllabic verse, or sh!tshow

once upon
a time
i dreamed
in the smallest
of flowers
as the sun smiled
i saw your face

a sprinkling
between two fingers
i give them to you
tiny little princess
fairy dust
who has 
the sweetest eyes
prettiest of smiles
to die for

melting in 
the deepest chambers
sweet like 
cotton candy
wishing away
with the fairies
on the scent of
her beautiful musk

enchanting like spell
in the aroma 
of a thousand blooms
into the most 
beautiful dream
you do enter
the air leaves

breathless whisper
on the wings 
of the heart
everything about you 
is beautiful
colours beyond words
bouquet the light 
circling around you

into the most beautiful
dream world
ever known to man
to live 
in the fairytale
you have found
your dream
