Premium Member Sandpiper Pausing---Again

Sandpiper Pausing...Again

What times are these
where hearts run hot and cold
ceaseless conscience alerts
remind us of steel girders fallen prone
entombments sealed
their distant voice remembered well

Compassion's lens peers through
this fallen metropolis of micro-flesh
this glass transparency
engulfed by forsaken smoke
knowing today's ethereal
descends as heart's residue
embracing darkness recalled
clock hands stopping
media rushing to air-time
yet never to be out of date

Silence remembers
fused tragedies
crumbling worlds
bodies falling
hearts broken

Yet
learning comes hard

More violence breaks the silence
cacophonous pandemonium
empty shell casings bouncing
pop pop pop pop pop
children's pleas
teachers' bravery
first responder's sorrow
parents traumatized
grievance everywhere

Sterility reigns
Washington defers
barbarity's extended abyss
the next tragic moment to define
insensitive that irresponsible behavior
will spawn new memories
destined to awaken vanquished yesterdays

Like a video game of archaic gulosity
certain chameleon passions remain insatiable
indecisive apathy-driven appetites
fuel congressional obstruction

While at the shore

A sandpiper pauses
beneath remembered ash
echoed violence
unredeemable screams
floating atop societal trade winds
seeming to be never forgotten

Like other creatures of blood that flows
eyes that see
ears that hear
hearts remaining conscious
knows not cowardice

Even a bird understands that

And so...

Even as the sandpiper probes away
its discovered sustenance hard fought
its needs remaining small
congressional appetites of power and greed
continue sated only with constituency expectation
indulging in anticipated 2013's gluttonous reward
thinking the next tragedy but finger food
the next gun sales windfall a payback for re-election
answering the next challenge of moral impotency with...

Not a problem

Not a problem

Premium Member Dragoon Ash

Eloquently you entered my world 
Cold hearted warm tongue sweet words
Smooth moves divine cajoled linguistic 
Loved by all my heart throbbed to you
Dragoon of cold spawn of hateful worship
Inequities you knew your trivial path
Flesh cold unforbidden dripped from
Your bleeding lips large teeth and jaws
A practiced Dragoon who had splayed a 
World of wholesome Angels in half
Dreams broken , tears , shattered worlds
And you a beast unrelinquished strong
Dark whole devouring all that remained 
Pure and loving you will perish in the 
Knowledge that I will never forgive you
Black ,shadow,damned you are forever.
Goodbye fledgling from hell black ash
From hell you shall burn for a million
Years for I will shun you forever Dragoon Ash

Premium Member Only She Could Deliver

The Birds And The Bees
Honey tasters and givers
Immaculate creatures that natures delivered

Beautiful colours these gifted with wings
Insects so small, some with a sting
Ringed or hooped to their body shaped
Dancing on the breeze, hovering above buttercups
Singing and humming their chorister songs

Above and surround are these gems on the breeze
Nocturnal are some to our eyesight they please
Dawn till dusk they patrol through their trees

They have been here for many a year
Hopefully they'll stay and no longer fear
Ever hopeful that man in his decency will adhere

Buddies we can become and grow into tomorrow
Eternally natures beings who will no longer sorrow
Everlasting memories for generations to follow
Someday to new worlds on the spaceship Apollo

I Summon You

Oh great divide you stand to look at me 
while I on bended knee grope for you 
between this world and the next 
we are like ocean book ends , 
meeting in the center of the Universe ;

Oh great depression you are killing me 
offhand remarks ingrained in my psych
your a wedding band on my finger 
and joy can never ring  us
when our hearts meet, we suck air ;

Oh great divide why can't we feel  
the day we married we had the flu  
between our worlds there is no next 
we are like rivers running wild 
meeting only through the great divide 

Anger, I summon you then squelch you, 
what is a broken heart to do, I ask you?

Premium Member Love Is Immortal

Unmask this night, let our love transpire
A free and wondrous kiss with love's embrace
Allow finger's passion to boldly trace
As we enjoy our night dreams sweet desire
To paint beautiful pictures to inspire
The moon's soft glowing light will brush your face
Treasured memories  time will not erase
In dim light of night our love will conspire

We'll appease hunger with our mouth's consent
With soft whispered words from love's craving song
A warm breathless universe to explore
Until time has slowed to capture its intent
We'll drift away in worlds where we belong
Two prisoners in love forevermore

Premium Member Just Passing Through

Age crept upon me like a quiet thief
Reminding me of time's silent passing
Another Autumn, another dead leaf
The moment's concern seems everlasting
To conjure the year my mind was aware
A child's brain with its singular thought,
When tomorrow a distant dream to share
And childhood was playful minutes sought
As joy and anguish scrolls through my mind
They remind of adult worlds I've lived through
When turmoil of history made us all blind,
And tears we all shed were a darker blue

  Dreamed a thousand dreams on time's endless shore
  Saw them washed away as history's captor

Echoes of a migrant bird

Oh my dear migrant birdie,
Have you crossed the hills so sturdy?
Tell me, what have you studied
Of all those migrant paths so hardy?

Hey, my dear buddy,
While crossing those mountains mighty,
We get tired and sweaty,
Yet we never stop our flight.

Oh my dear traveler bird,
Have you crossed the oceans wide?
Don’t you fear the towering tides?
Tell me more about the ride.

Yes, my dear cutie, the ride was very creepy.
My vision blurred in the midst.
I cried and tried, but my flock got missed.
Before nearing the shore, there were too many twists.

Oh my dear whirling beauty,
Having crossed countries thirty,
What scent has stayed within your mind?
What would you wish to smell again?

Hey, my dear dreaming dude, 
there are umpteen scents that delight,
But one still lingers in my brain, and one I never wish to smell again,
It's the scent of blood from the fallen in war’s cruel fight.

Oh my dear migrant birds,
I love how you are whirling the world,
Upon hearing the catastrophes of many worlds,
Which is your favorite word?

Oh my dear favorite girl,
We whirl and twirl and curl,
Of all the words we hear and call,
I can say peace is the dearest of all.

The Game of Thrones

O Self Righteous Mew Martyred Lost

Dragons breath, and roasted lots 
amongst the spit and gradually heated pots
 crows, counted among the cost,
counting zeros,
onesies and Aftermath of Astral Thoths
Line by line
 into perdition we go deeper into the plot of plots

Into
Penitance, no
Penance, yes
Lusts succulent-grows
In laboratory tests

We
Like Moths to a drain
Of
Energy unsleeved
Perceived
Of misconceived pipings; insane; synergy; 
             creams never veined 
Of suave salves, dealings of those 
that have only vain, not the have nots but
half wicked flames
                                  Unwritten names
 half hooved of Baphomet and the
Long-Toothed of his stage and scream


The storm born, we shall ride
that dark ride
In the precipitation of filth, 
             catching mud in our eye
Rebirthed, stalled, aborted by skanky sway, 
of breastly milk
 of I am soaked wet in a dream
 Of the Worlds reasonings why Apathy and Pride

dressing-undressing after the honeymoon

onesies and Aftermath of Astral Thoths
To self, a barrier in microscopic scop
A true Virus inbred by DNA STD of
a sinful nature and closed mind
To all but skeaze
Are we rebirthed anew, awry
Eating our own tale of condensation carriers,

Premium Member The Oceans Live


Over the waters blue, the night winds sigh, 
          the breakers roar.”
                    _ by Lord Byron  

Beneath the moon, Earth's living oceans breathe
with pulsing tides and swells that rise and fall.
The iridescent blues on rolling waves
add mystery, as night winds echo sighs.

Large breakers roar and crash upon the shore
as gusty winds push forward frothy waves-
displaying unleashed power over land;
a force that dominates beyond control.

So like another world, our oceans seem-
with depths to places down below huge waves;
where creatures large and small in secret worlds
explore their universe- to us unknown.

What lies beneath of life we've never seen
or life that was- now buried deep below
where land was once- but seized by ocean's might;
commanders of this Earth- these oceans are.

Beyond our skies- unknowns bemuse our minds;
neath ocean waves rests knowledge still to come.
On land, we in the middle share a loss
in finding answers to these mysteries.
