Peering In the Windows

Peering in the windows,
Of those lives I barely see,
Except when tokens are procured,
For rides, intermittently,
They look at me, I look back,
Nothing severed or taken,
My pith, unimpaired,
And by them, unmistaken,
Do they think that my life,
Should be transformed to theirs,
With foreign exclusions,
And tainted, quaint stares,
Their subtle indifference,
No case dares to appeal,
Embodies the essence,
Of a world they call real,
So they ask with green eyes,
Should I now switch with you,
Would that make my self-worth,
Somehow, progressively true,
I glance, to respond,
That neither is needed,
Because as tolerance failed,
Manipulation succeeded,
We both yearn to validate,
Our courses of being,
Amidst choices of learning,
And preferred ways of seeing,
For now, the windows are closed,
The Santa Anas, they're blowing,
And those lives which premiered,
Have no interest in showing,
We will then pause to wonder,
If the sill might be locked,
Therefore sealed from exposure,
And no chance to be mocked.

Boston Legal

Boston Legal raises jurisprudence burdens of proof to a more realistic level
Observant fans of Bergen, Shatner, Spader, David Kelley could be seen as rebels,
Savoring games of assault and battery on real life large and small actualities
Testifying every act negligent or malfeasance and trivial  grotesque fatalities.
Opinionated obscure minds, open up objectionable hearts and bankrupt eyes
Negligently embracing the politicians easily spoken but perjured lies.

Larceny  lessons  from history's changing more lenient laws is unmistaken
Evidentiary episodes expunge the human condition without real exoneration.
Guilty grievances gain feelings of raw emotional desire for monetary recovery
Arresting allegations appealing callous affidavits of due process inspired discovery
Legal litigations of ridiculous actions sequester every man's cross examination.
 

For  - Your Favorite Habit-Forming TV Show - poetry contest

Thank you David E, Kelley- creator of shows like Ally McBeal and Boston Legal. you stinker.

Descending,
  I manipulate and manoeuvre for the updraft
  Spluttering,
  I spiral down, then briefly up again, to glimpse a glowing sky
  Flapping,
  I fall forever faster, flat-eagled
  Plunging, 
  I watch the unwelcome gloom envelope my horizon
  Tumbling,
  I twist, turn and turbulate, ... then the thudding thump
  Gasping,
  I groan and exhale, a noiseless moan
  Curling,
  I recoil as innards become outward form

  Emerging,
  a base inside-out creature crawls and creeps
  Tasting,
  the tongue-tied intestines and the unseeing socket eyes
  Groping,
  a gruesome grub befriends the worm and slurps the slug-slime
  Engorging,
  as flaunted members flail blood and flick licky, sticky fluid
  Reforming,
  dim visions populate carnal shapes with awful movement
  Gaping,
  a fearful half-formed and startled face averts its gaze
  Residing,
  in deep gutter niches... these are my companion dwellers

  Wallowing,
  I sniff a redolent upswell of dank fissured earth
  Disturbing,
  I scrape, cleave and wipe away a smear of covering soil
  Trembling,
  I sense a warmth of body, a stretching of exotic wings
  Enquiring,
  I mutter clumsy overtures and crude enticements
  Retreating,
  I hear unmistaken rebuke and a sigh of disappointment
  Imploring,
  I elevate my utterances and seek a further hearing
  Caressing,
  I feel a welcoming and forgiving response

  Pulsing,
  the creature's cocoon gives way to nebulous female form
  Ascending,
  at first a cherub woman smiles playfully down on me
  Transforming,
  a stimulating and sensuous siren cavorts and teases
  Uplifting,
  wings gather me in for a swooping flight of fancy
  Revealing,
  from above, her intimate view of dwellers in the hinterland
  Coaxing,
  she fills me now with empathy and understanding
  Alighting,
  my body-mind lies prone beneath her

  Tingling,
  I feel her form and thoughts slowly enter and encompass me
  Exploring,
  I arouse and we gently probe between lips and sphincter
  Delving,
  I follow our rhythm of kiss, taste, touch and thrust
  Wandering,
  I experience our ambiguous male and female desire
  Playing,
  I laugh at how we tickle our innocence and sophistication
  Loving,
  I know for delirious moments what it is to be another
  Consumed,
  lost in coexistence with a like- but more extraordinary- mind

That Other Life
                 by Odin Roark

Click

Even with flip-flops
The ground’s touch
Goes unmistaken

You’re only a child
But you have traveled this road often
You’ve picked flowering weeds
For your mother
Watched them whither
In waterless bottles

Beneath your mud roof
You’ve held closed your eyes
Wishing for better times
Like now

You’ve squatted your body
Ever so gently
To sleep
Like now
Awaiting the morning
 
You’ve stared all night 
At a starless sky
And another life
Like now

You’ve not wanted to uncurl
The comfort of remaining tight together
Just you 
And your dreams
Seems so…

But this is different
You open your eyes

There’s no need to wait
The sun has risen
The wind is drifting sand
Atop your flip-flopped foot
That never moved
Remaining still
So very still
While you wondered what 
The second click never heard
Sounds like

But now

You try to smile
You know it must be safer over there
That other life
Away from roadside clicks
Improvised hatred
You don’t yet understand

Your eyes rise from your foot
Last thoughts are of your brother always grinning
Just before he moves his crudely carved queen
His checkmate grin

You close your eyes
You wish you could 
Take back your last move

Premium Member Pan Pal

Best kitchen utensil, invented by man -
By far favourite, fantastic frying pan! 
Be it onion, French toast or eggs and bacon, 
My fancy taste buds, drooling unmistaken. 
With a light and magic touch of oil drizzle 
Lamb loin is seared to savoury sizzle. 

Veggies' blend roasted on a pan, to die for, 
Never boil them in water, plain wilted bore! 
Ah, pancakes, my goodness, grandma's homey treat, 
Made with love and care - will knock you off your feet. 
And last, not least, ultimate joy of French fries, 
With extra depth - all times blessing in disguise! 

I know with healthy eating habits I'm screwed, 
In regards to fried carcinogenic food. 
I should have dumped my pan pal long time ago, 
But in denial, I just can't let go. 
Way too late to contemplate of what I should, 
It’s panned into my identity for good!

Premium Member Rain, Steam and Speed, JMW Turner

and in their cold 
          condemning eyes ~
I am forever framed 
      as flawed fragments 
bolted to the brutal beginnings,
oblivious to the wings of an end...
yet the intrinsic ink of my soul
knows not the art
of stirring superficial stars 

 ~ fear not my antique antlers
caressed with copper compassion,
     I am not their synonym
       for emotional emptiness ~

let me breathe away
from counterfeit lies
pretending to be holier
than the highest of halos,
tainting truth with
tomb tongue-twisters 

I choose to follow the rain
before the rising
of opalescent light ~ 
I seek streaks of sleep’s
sweet silver steam
blurring the smoke
above the veiled valley
of murky melancholy ~
traveling through the mists
of memories and magic...

I am tied to the unarmed
acceleration of alchemy,
an ambience of adoration
where poetry is resurrected ~
reconstructed amongst the
rushing resilience of rust...

I am the maternal momentum
of the mystical movers,
an unmistaken metaphor
for what sighs within the
magnetic embers
of locomotive silence,
rapidly ringing the sounds
of the sky-draped sea ~

trace this track of serene tears...
I taste time as 
         the ultimate revealer
of what beautifully remains ~
deep in the depths
of delightful devotion,
no longer a grey amongst
the steel of stolen secrets…
