Premium Member Naomi At the Christmas Tree

My seven-month-old daughter, beside herself
with swirling fascination, has unfolded
her tiny arm a bridge for Christmas elves’
safe passage, unconcerned she’s being scolded
by Papa Grinch - who’s clacking away at this.
From my perspective on the less-festive couch,
I cannot see her sparkling eyes witness
magical animation, but I’ll vouch
something’s ‘bout to go down, based on a smile
and ding-a-ling giggles; her angelic face
lit up as though nutcrackers march awhile
icicles melt the seams of man-made space
where a dad’s unaware this innocent time
(just for me) gift wraps Naomi’s holiday crime.

Premium Member Noise

Notice nice noise
Verbal verse voice


Thrill thoughtful think
List laughing links


Belief bakes bread
Rich rapture raids


Fresh fragrance fair
Dream daring dare


Line lively lines
Vouch vibrant vines


Fling fable form
Nice naughty norm


See sensuous sights
Live lovely light


Write wonder works
Juice jumping jerk


List lovely looks
Buy blooming book


Mull moving make
Trust toilsome take


Play pines pure proof
Truth telling truth


Cite clever crook
Bring baking book


Empty each eat
Finder's fond feat


Gain gracious greed
Flatter force feed


Sign special say
Dreary dream day


Mime mellows mime
Time telling time


Charm cunning choice
Values verse voice


Play precious poise
Numb bulling noise

(Dedication: For Courtney Vinch, Keep faith in yourself.)

--------------------------------------

Come find your true place as love seeks you too;
Open mind and heart to know that time heals;
Urge your radiant face to fond cheer that coos;
Rise as feelings start to attract goodwill.
Now feel what you feel in mindset you own;
Etch a new story that helps you be free;
Your know love can heal if your heart is known;
Verse scripts you can see allows joy to be.
Inch steady slow steps and create your map;
Niche your soul treasure in what your heart knows;
Cheer is your own flap to cast your kind trap;
Here you can measure what your desires show.
Believe in your fate that love now reveals;
End of pain relates your life trend you fill.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Learn to be cheery despite the harsh pains;
Open your heart more to simple pleasures;
Vouch for less moody the sordid refrains;
Embrace your sweet core with childlike treasures.
Wish upon a star to be your delight;
Ignite your feelings with sun burst splendour;
Love catapults far in inspired clear sight;
Life is yet willing to grant you grandeur.
Do what feels just right, embrace help that comes;
Empty the old gall and start new right here;
Sweet days follow nights to balance old sums;
Indulge and install your grand tale of cheer.
Go on and grab joy with grand thoughts lovely;
Now let your dreams toy with faith that's lively.

Ride To a Nuthouse

Now I am sitting alone in this
Funny wagon with my boom box
and minding my own business
along with a bunch of numskulls
who thinks I am a nutcase like them—
What a drag! And they think we are
all going to a Funny Farm where
they take those who go bananas!

But I know better because
I am good and dandy--
One hell of a cockscomb dude!
All I am doing is 
bamboozling them for now,
Behaving as if I am one of them—
These dolts, dim-witted blockheads!

But, YOU, who’s reading this,
can vouch for me, won’t ya?
Why? Because you are as cool as I am,
It takes one to know one!

You catching my drift, ain’t ya?

Six Ways From Sunday

The topic at hand was Jack's carbuncle;
but all I heard was this absurd reply,
Jill sighed, "Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle".
She hung up the phone as fast as pigs fly.

A carbuncle is one huge, giant boil.
Jill claims she observed a bright gloriole
resting 'top Jack's head, entwined in a coil;
his recessed eyes forever on a roll. 

Pain in Jack's head and eyes had been spreading
slowly across his face from ear to ear, 
while skies outside held a monkey's wedding.
Sunshine and showers made a rainbow appear.

Jack couldn't see it but this word's from Jill -
Opening the window, touching his head,
rainbow brought healing from their window sill.
Jack's eyes opened as that carbuncle fled.

Magic smells of petrichor, Jack will vouch
caused his cure in a miraculous way.
He testifies of damp dust on his couch.
Both know which's right, six ways from Sunday.  

*a gloriole is a halo

Premium Member Her Truth Is Not the Truth

She makes up the stories about things of the past, 
She lies about how things occurred, 
Happily rewriting stories of how life had played out;
History she tries to reword,

To make her the one organising the fun, 
How he would obey as she said,
To make her the carrier of the moral high ground, 
Now others are gone, sick or dead,

But what she can’t see, about these little facts,
Is that I, too, was there all along, 
And can vouch for the actual truth of this past, 
The truth exposing her wrong,

The quarrels and defiance, the lack of foresight, 
The spite to frustrate, to make sad,
The hindrances that she’d put up all the time, 
To stop the fun times that he had.

How

3/3/15



Remember we take responsibility on our own account
As of now
How?
Could you have any idea what I'm about
If you just listen to what came out of another person's mouth
Especially if it was negative and rather foul
Then don't you dare have a cow
Before giving me a chance to disprove the doubts
Not that I'm worried about having to verify or vouch
And with that I'm out


Stomach continuing to growl
Time to get some chow
Preferrably kung pao

Cruising around the town
To familiar and unfamiliar grounds


Enjoying the moment atop the mountains and the profound
Amount of clouds

Aiming to rise higher with less fluctuation than the renowned DOW
And if not, I'd still be proud
For trying instead of giving up and holding my head down

It's not allowed
Don't cross the line or move out of bounds


Like a wolf, I like to stare up at the moon and howl
Before continuing on the prowl
With senses and vision sharper than an owl
Never blowing my cover or making a sound

Sometimes I burn up so much loud
All by myself or with a crowd

Hunting Vacuum

Speaking to the clock
"tick-tock..tick-tock..."

The Cold breeze whispered in her ears:
"Kill and I will clot..
Like a cherry on top,
Thou shall suck the ruptured spleen
Taste of blood, thine eyes shall gleam.."

She grinned in mockery of their fears:
"yes Master! I read your chimes,
In my alleys, wisdom sublimes
Into the smoke, of a stale corpse
My rhymes are written in ruby drops.."

Night has fled beneath her eyes
And there, she stood by her prey:
Thorough, and her hair was dark
Conscience seldom would embark
Her psyche, she had no doubt
Loved the redness on her pout..
The glee that death had given her
Made her fly into the azure,
Choice of knives, 
Choice of lives,
Or raw, she liked her meal
Broken bones, 
With fleshy robes 
Alive! It made her feel:
Fingers dripping blood,
She licked the floor..
For more,
Poor prey! she kept it still
As she devoured to the heart..

The Cold Air embraced her in a passionate kiss..
Esctatic shiver in the icy trance,
She had her dessert:
Eyes that lolled on the couch,
She plucked, as per her divine vouch,
Time had passed, without a glance..
 
She leaves the night for the damned
Until hungry again.

Premium Member A Place To Lay My Head

Oh for a place to lay my weary head
To seek a haven from the stormy strife
With certainty to give my love and life
And know that I’m adored on sacred bed

Oh for a place to lay my body down
To disrobe of the doubts and naked lie
In opulence of love to gratify
And have true kisses for my head a crown

Oh for a place where doubt dare not appear
Where I can be the one and only dream
Where passion’s not a trickle but a stream
Where arms of love hold all that heart holds dear

I’m wearied from my search for blissful rest
My armor weights me down, my fears assail
From rended heart breaks forth lamenter’s wail
The hope of love from me the world did wrest

Give me a place upon your chest to sleep
Ensure me that your love will steadfast be
Vouch safe to me your ardent constancy
Then with your lips set seal and promise keep
