Anguish In the Rain

Anguish in the Rain

A dream coming towards true manifestation
A scream from the north of my past life commiserations
My spleen venting forth through my expressive incantations
A green man distorts the inter-planetary visitations 

Capitalist nightmares and human rights violations 
Contortionist cartoonists and contrite salutations
An eccentric hot air balloonist with too many invitations
An inventive scientist marooned on the edges of an opium plantation

Vaccinations that cure, protect, paralyse and maim 
How can this be a world where it’s possible to stay sane ?
Who at the very core and top will stand up and take the blame?
When it comes time to admit it and call out their names 

Proof of the burdened a heavy load to carry 
Sleuth of the words and the age you see fit to marry 
Truth that’s absurd that encourages one to not tarry
A prince that’s disturbed- let’s not mention Harry

Fortune requiring a kingdom of heaven waiting 
More tunes acquiring the excitement of children anticipating 
White full moons desiring into astronomy participating 
A bride at high noon retiring before the groom starts celebrating 

ThetMongolian Empire conquering all that you know 
A sure remand of prisoners waiting on death row 
A crude demand on limitations of perspectives of the masses 
A blatant reprimand on an adolescent out of place like a fascist 

Retribution for a heinous crime 
Institutions of grief and melancholy and time 
Constitutions of relief and the universal mind 
Elocutions of belief that express the divine 

An utterance of regret as the pain becomes unbearable 
A stutter I’d forget if my jacket was wearable 
The nuclear aftermath of life in Chernobyl 
The sum of the whole of the parts all in total

The Warrior Heart

It has bled several times,
And healed again, 
It has been scarred various times,
And mended again.

It has gone to the healing waters,
Overrun by its wave,
Streamed in its flow,
Washed from its grime and debris.

It has withstood the storm,
Shaken by the violent winds,
Its boughs swirled and trembled,
Its foliage was lost and returned.

It has gone on a voyage,
Fraught with nettles and briers,
Wrestled phantom beings,
Taken its bequeathed belongings.

It has made its return,
Reminisced on its conquest,
Scripted lines and stanzas,
And pulled together the curtains.

Premium Member Jesus Accomplished Salvation Completely

It all happened 2000 years ago
Jesus Christ son of God incarnate
lived on earth the perfect life
showed the way to heaven's gate

God's will was to bruise His son
using various means with evil men
a roman cross was ultimate means
planned from eternity God knew when

There Jesus paid the perfect sacrifice
for the sins of those he chose to select
the full weight of it was on Him
salvation's price was His to collect

But at Calvary's cross Jesus Christ spoke
His very last words before He did die
bowing His head having completed His task
sinners salvation accomplished the last cry

Jesus did then give up His spirit
it is finished rings out to all
the world is now forever changed
Satan's plan eternally forever to fall

Jesus accomplished salvation completely
the son of God is the saviour of grace
sin is vanquished to death's fall
so heaven awaits it's chosen race

(When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, “It is finished,” and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.') John 19: 30 (esv)

Premium Member Mystical Lake

Turquoise blue glittering water of a mountain lake 
Showing activities of various fish with their grace
Efficient floating of exultant duck families through their loveliness
Reflections of surrounding views’ brilliant displays 

Narrow dirt trail weaving through thick green woodlands 
Giant rocks and peaks stand tall with wide open arms
Varieties of massive firs and pines pack nearby land
Colorful sprays of delicate wild floras on adjacent track

Opulent grandness of Mother Nature’s majestic charm   
Bursts of sweet melodies of birds’ songs
Awe-inspired heart filled with immense joy
Cheerful mind and awareness at large

Premium Member Mystery Seeds

her biological clock was ticking fast 

but everything else was on lockdown

mail order had become her last resort

the sperm bank came to the rescue


mystery seeds arrived in her mail slot

she had not ticked all the small boxes

as she was an equal opportunity virgin

‘use freely and do not return to sender’


experimental design was the message

she prayed for immaculate conception

inserted the mixture of various donors

and awaited for nine Amazonian moons 


‘triplets oh my God’ the universe was kind

dissimilar skin tone and allusion to peace

Premium Member MIRACLES WITHIN MIRACLES

My realization of Miracle on 34th Street that came to life
My years working for Macy’s Corporate at the Flagship Herald Square Tower
It was the Macy’s and Gimbel’s competitive era
The miracle started with Macy’s was planning a big advertising campaign
The story begins with a Macy’s Buyer and Gimbel’s Buyer having lunch
Both Buyers asked the same question of what was happening at both companies
Macy’s and Gimbel’s were foes
Being both dominance on Herald Square back then, and Macy’s still is
They always had to outdo the other
As it turned out, the Macy’s Buyer told the Gimbel’s Buyer exactly what was happening at Macy’s
So how, Gimbels heard about the advertising campaign that Macy’s was going to illustrate
For Gimbels that was an appreciate
Strategy beat to the punch
Gimbel’s presented Macy’s advertising campaign making it there’s
This made Mr. Edward Finkelstein, Macy’s former CEO President frustrated
Mr. Finkelstein had another theory with another idea
Counter attack being that Mr. Finkelstein had someone spy on Gimbel’s to see what they were planning
Ready, aim and observe

Gimbel’s had their plan so sophisticated and complex that Macy’s own couldn’t figure out, but presented only a portion the best they could
The Gimbel’s plan didn’t come out the way Macy’s encountered
Macy’s loss on that score
Later that morning at precisely 10:00 am, Mr. Finkelstein had email sent to everyone at Macy’s that we are not to discuss any Macy’s business with Gimbel’s
Miracle defeat in devastation of disappointment
Nonetheless, miracle seen through both companies of Macy’s and Gimbel’s
My yesteryear back
I worked in Mr. Edward Finkelstein’s Executive Office at one time assisting Veronica, Mr. Finkelstein’s Secretary in various Typing projects
I took a Typing test at Macy’s and tested at 95 words per minute with only made on error
Because of that, I was asked from time to time to assist in his office
M. Edward Finkelstein is deceased
Miracle through being competitive
My history in exploring
My story
Miracles have it for all to remember
They can happen anywhere
Miracle on 34th Street
Upbeat and neat

If Tomorrow Is Truely News

I can’t do 
Anything 
without you
There’s nothing 
I can do 
without you 

I know you think I’m me
But I’ve been pretending to be
Opened the door 
Before I knew you were leaving
My first foster mother and adopted brother
It’s a world of harsh reality
Left it to my feet to discover 
“Trust no one”
Especially if snakes don’t speak 
“You don’t even utter”
No cold cuts, no bread, only peanut butter
Maybe a taste of  honey on days we couldn’t play
Child hood was just not sunny
Hated church
The pastor and anything biblical that lurked
Hated photos
No cheese, no smile, not even a smirk
Held my pillow to my face and refused to breathe
At the time life could do nothing but hurt
Never fell in love
Not a passionate flirt
Family visits and various social workers 
“Please I’m not going to hurt you”
Never mind the damage has been done 
Never could revamp the fun
Grew grim, my soul got bleached in the sun
Nine years old and I just want to see mom
A friend , a single compassionate face 
Bitterly my beloved tears taste
Not born of a supreme race 
Days I’d go without toothpaste 
The struggles I’ve over come
The scars you can’t see 
The image you love
I can no longer be 
I worthless, I get it 
I’m poor and things are getting no better
But I haven’t misspelled a word in this letter
Worth nothing more than soiled rags
But I did it, I made it to 22 
Without hustling, drugs, or getting tagged 
My tears in your basket, that’s all I had 
No property value
“smoke marijuana” get out of here
Cant let these detectives and there ideal logy foul you 
She’s a pretty girl but I can’t give her the world 
Maybe a cold drink and a romance that won’t sink 
Hold on to that, I’d miss you if I blinked 
I changed my life at twelve
Put yesterday on the shelf 
And held on to myself
I have no identity 
I’m made up of what I learned from others
No mother, no father
I shouldn’t have made it any further


I can’t do 
Anything 
without you
There’s nothing 
I can do 
without you

The Fashion Zebra

I am a flake. 
That is the term for people that do not follow through. 
It may not be fair. I have spent my whole life avoiding the title. 
I crossed every tee, dotted all the eyes… 
and followed rules real, and make believe…
Now. It no longer matters. 

I am exactly what you see. 
I write about the weather, cooking mushrooms in broth, 
the underwater zoo in Williams, along with other various,
worthy subjects of interest to no one. 

I carry a phone and often use it as a coaster. 
It brings me messages once or twice a month 
and does not honestly believe me, 
when I say, “your fired”.
Alas, I still have a landline, to find it, 
when I am yet, desperate for its call. 

I wear pj’s to the market, my bathing suit to the post box. 
I paint murals and laugh at the way leaves fall from trees, in patterns. 
I am not longing to grow up, get married, have kids, nor put things into order. 
I want to splash in pools, taste ice-cream made from green tea and hunt for spiders.
The world is no longer full of boundaries to be broken, 
They have been erased. 
Completely.
I am free.

Envy On Humans

Opening the unseen doors 
of nature
Humans came into this 
earth to reign
They came in like a 
vibration of sound
Like a crown on the head of 
the time
They came in just like a 
welcome song
Which stars from above had 
composed
When the nature welcomed 
them with joy
Though empty to deliver a 
welcome party
Far away almost thousand 
light years away
May be when the Gods 
were not yet born
Having fallen apart like a 
huge burning lump
Which fell off from the sun 
to cool as Earth
When life sprouted on the 
earth in molecules
When life came up as a 
stage by stage show
When a song generated 
from the breeze on hills
A song of adoration was 
sung to praise the Gods
From the processing of the 
atom to molecules
Life was given to man like a 
song given to sing
When the nature showered 
its blessings as gifts
When dusk became 
romantic partners of man
When the world wore the 
robes of the rainbow
Man made sculptures called 
life in various types
When made different doors 
to enter to enjoy life
When nature delivered 
seasons to amuse in life
With richness from the 
bounty delivered by Earth
With wings of assumptions 
the Earth stood in joy
Seeing the Gold being 
reaped in full abundance
Sun started getting wild 
with rage and sheer envy
When the eyes of Venus 
became blood red in anger
They started sending 
messages in the wind and 
rain
Commanding to send the 
humans to them to work
To make their planet also 
place like earth in beauty
