Premium Member I'm Not in Kansas Anymore

(Mimic the song..."If I Only Had A Brain" by the Scarecrow from The Wizard of Oz)

I could be so independent

So lavish and resplendent

Just a player in the game

I would wield mighty powers

And be mesmerized for hours

If I only knew my name

Oh nothing's getting clearer

This stranger in the mirror

Every day it's just the same

I don't think I'm Richard Nixon

It's my brain that needs a fixin'

If I only knew my name

I must have washed up on the shore

I'm not in Kansas anymore

Tell me who am I to blame

Am I a winner or a loser

Am I sober or a boozer

If I only knew my name 

Who's my father and my mother

Have I sister and a brother

To remember is the aim

Was I born just an orphan

Or was I metamorphin'

If I only knew my name 

Were there starlets I was meetin'

Or did I take a beatin'

A sad history or fame

Did I grow up in the gutter

Only eating peanut butter

If I only knew my name 

It would be an inspiration 

If I got an invitation

By the Queen or Royal Dame

All my senses would be tinglin'

When they crowned me King of England

If I only knew my name 

Would I do it all for spite

Is it wrong or is it right

Let me tell you it's a shame

Do I love 'em or I hate 'em

Is that my one ultimatum

If I only knew my name

I would wave my country's banners

And practice proper manners

Not to do so is so lame

I would call no gal a heifer

Or a guy a mother effer

If I only knew my name 

Am I a true brainiac

Or a total maniac

This confusion I must tame

I may need some absolution 

In a mental institution 

If I only knew my name 

From the summer through the fall

I kept trying to recall

But the memory never came

Am I coming am I going 

There's just no way of knowing 

If I only knew my name 

When I stand I'm dizzy still 

There has got to be a pill

Guess I may go down in flame

This must be some strange disease 

Won't somebody help me please 

If I only knew my name

Well I feel so out of place

I want to join the human race

So now I'm here to stake my claim

And I'm hopin' and believin'

That one day this fog is leavin'

If I only knew my name

Naked

Almost as natural as when the wind blew
Almost as close when I am to feel
Against a nakedness beneath if I knew
For a reason remains when striped is to be real

In a world when I haven’t the place
I live therein forgetting myself too soon
Of dreams to be an ever to forever chase
Haven’t I the life in dire need of fortunes?

However today... some self I have come to find
Some self to once again once more realize
A rediscovering perhaps evermore left behind
Yet a discovery as slowly as surely... dies

And as true as my form had since begin
I try to understand the need for an entrapment
Yet to find no result for an ultimatum to mean
And bearing untrue will I secure my retirement

Today... I felt the wind blew
Closer then I would like to feel
Blowing away a self I knew
And once more shall I begin as real

Death of a Virgin

Death of a Virgin

I lost my virginity...to another woman, like myself. I am a Lesbian.
I cracked my knuckles as the prosecutor began to beam away from me.
I am a virgin whore.
Those thoughts continue to trickle down my mind. My husband was open.
He was an imaginary person in the about of a dream. My thoughts run rampant.
There is no time for folly; no time for clearance. My heart is sinking...and then...
I embrace her wet lips and begin to devour her bosom.
Her love was as strong as it was unwavering: the perfect vestal virgin suicide.
Like making love to a man but better, but not a dog, and yet, but not a ravenous
beast either...
I feel content here writing these words: the presuming words, presumptuous. As in,
pre-SUME. As in Virgin suicide. As in. Perfect harmony. As in, Virgin prostitution.

My walls are filled with love-making. I feel the cold warming up into splinters and it 
nips into each pasture like a dew of a dawn of a reindeer or a doe nipping at wintery
trees into the solstice after Springtime had just arrived.
The battering cold was predatorial, and masculine, as the artificial rod from which I was 
thinking simmered down into her and made her moan, fiercely.
I lick the remains like the jaws of a lioness after it kills its prey, constantly tasting its blood.
Its womb was worse, a virgin woman's, and I, its paternal partner.

How elaborate a thought this was. How to color a treat. To reconcile my ultimatum. Remaining
absonate, eternal.

What a Hiding Place Prevents

as i reveal my secret, 

you make Beauty Grow 

i shake as you begin to see me 

a New Love for me grows in 

the clarity of your heart 

  

as introverted as i usually am, 

you begin to see me for the first 

time within this period of ultimatum 

a Renewed Permanence Inspires a 

New Crystal Clear Foundation 

  

the re-energized warmth of it all causes 

our multiple exhalations to be deep.... 

influencing the return of the Essential 

Jolliness 

  

it is then that i pull out the BIG PRESENT 

from my magic hat of imagination 

i watch with bated breath as you 

try to investigate my every look and 

posture while excitedly ripping the paper 

and the box at the same time 

when you finally look down, i, with a 

slight hint of emotion murmur Merry 

Christmas, My Love 

  

your reply....and later, your response.... 

is what makes Loving You all the more Worthwhile....

When wearing white becomes a crime

I’ve missed out on pub table conversations
the shocked laughter and gasps
The feeling of validation that they seem to get
from confessing 
and every time I feel ashamed and childish 
you stare back at me.


Hurt. 

How they hark at what they deem to be your innocence
Shake their heads in disbelief 
As if wearing white was a modern day crime 
past the age of eighteen. 

I lay at night, silk sheets holding one body 
being watched by you 
 you say


But how I long to be held
Soft lips marking their territory on my neck 
Patterns that look like battle scars 
Souvenirs that confirm my maturity 

But what’s to happen one December night 
when your leash finally falls apart?
Me and another left alone in the purple palace 
my childhood etched far away into the stars 
What do I say when they ask to see my Kingdom?
All the possessions I haven’t taken 

Will they take pity on my poverty? Lead the path away from home?

Or will they leave and you return 
as before 
reminding me that I am not deserving 
at least not yet

I must remember the clock has no ultimatum 
there’s no shame in not letting go
but that won’t stop me from feeling

eternally alone.


Memory Houses Soul Asylum Vestige

Autumn ultimately unveils it all, 
Basking in bold bohemian design, 
Pastoral poets’ inspiration shrine - 
Enlivens lavishly before the fall. 

Winter ultimatum trumps with chill swing - 
Impetus frozen by a frigid muse - 
Sublimating into slumbering blues, 
Melting away under the spell of Spring.  

Spring’s ultimate pizazz wafts in the air, 
Awakening the passions of pristine - 
Romance’s timid touch from hues of green, 
Blush to blossom under Summer’s hot stare. 

Summer struts with an ultimate demand - 
Party for all disciples of the sun -
Sweet sweat of dog days in the languid run, 
Til Autumn takes a precedented stand.

Lawrence Part the Fourth, In Action

There’s civic unrest in Neasden
Which has become a mini hell
The vapours from all those camels 
Has caused an awful fruity smell
The citizens are angry and are
Marching off to Westminster hall
Now the novelty has worn off
They’re blooming sick of it all
In spite of the good intentions
Of Lawrence and his crew
You can’t housetrain a camel
And the streets just smell of poo
It’s a simple ultimatum sent 
To Tonee ol Georgie’s Vee Pee
Get them moved blooming sharpish
Or next election we’ll jolly well see
They’ve held a cabinet meeting
Old Two Jags came as well
To listen to those pleas
About their urban hell  
They’ve reached an honourable 
Compromise and Lawrence agreed
He can fulfil his patriotic duty
By going anywhere there is need
So if you are on the channel tunnel
And you think you’ve blown your mind
Because you could swear you’ve just
Seen a camel’s fat brown behind
It’s only Lawrence and his people
On security and safety patrol 
Dedicated and dutiful
To the very soul
When a patriot’s a patriot
No task is too great 
In the cause and the name 
Of the safety of the state
And as Lawrence sometimes mutters
As he enters the tunnel to ride through it
For VeePee Tonee and Her Majesty 
Somebody has got to do it
And back there in little Neasden
Things once more are going well
Thanks to the absence of those camels
And their gradually fading smell

The Gothic Candle Holder

The Gothic Candle Holder


She was abubble with much excitement. 

It was only a few hours until 
trick-or-treating. She couldn’t stay still. 
Floating, spinning round like a dill
in the living room, made her feel a quite ill. 

She parked onto the dark oak mantelshelf 
of foliate decoration she was used to.
While she waited on the mantelshelf 
feel sound, to 
feel like herself, she went over her tricks. 
She had more than two tricks. 

One called “Pull My Candle”.
When a child did that, blood (to them, OOOHHH!)
spurted out into their eyeballs. Handle 
that they couldn’t! 'OOOHHH!'

Some threatened, ‘I know KUNG FU!
Do you?'

The Gothic Candle Holder would laugh
and laugh
until the child, and their parents with no care, 
slammed the door on her. They were so square!

‘Yes! Yes! Can’t wait a second now
to do that!’ she ejected, feeling better now. 

But this Halloween she never 
got to do her clever 
scare. Her Gothic Candle Holder grandpa Neaps
gave her a very serious ultimatum: (heaps)
either balance for all of Halloween my heaps 
of gold teacups or, move out for keeps.

She chose the first.
On the inside, she was raging! No Halloween trick-or-treating! She almost burst!

Premium Member Commandment Battlement - Part Four -

Trumpet the ethos of these wading warriors with the hollowed bones 
of their panygeric prophets,resonating triumphant tones,
to forever honor,protect,& perpetuate the valor,virtue,& victory of this Holy Order,
the irridescent echo seeps from their Father's tombs,
for what extent shall I blaze myself and minions in the arrows path,
so to coddle an intangible hope made of a prayer's dope,
or in a mind where a prevailing vision roams,
nay, to avert that macbre nightmare of having my People's progeny becoming the pigmy
of a teething tyrant who condones the perversion of civilization's tomes,
a coalesced consciousness consummated by the last bastion
with a vigorous vigil on this Christmas Eve,
solemn and sacramental the emotion is which this of our hearts 
the Almighty exhumes,

A dispatched soldier ploying as scout,remote, waiting ignorantly to be smote,
a far but not forgotten armored satellite being selfless,
his vanity enemy's threat consumes,
an unbridled but composed offensive of a triplicate terror delivered
by an indefatigable knight ,
an ultimatum presented simply but also strictly,
one at least his assault maroons,
