Premium Member Break the Mirror

     She sat on a chaise longue waiting for the big revelation 
after years of therapy she still hadn't healed that part of her 
that was  unconsciously broken beyond repair;
A lifetime of failed relationships and abandonment
had taught her not to trust her feelings nor her choices. 
In this darkened room what did she hope to attain?
a semblance, a re-enactment of her past life, perhaps then 
she would finally break the mirror of deceit and discover the truth.

     He sat there talking to her softly, guiding her deep into hypnosis
noticing the way she wrung her hands as if trying to endure
Upon deeper inspection, he noticed red marks on her neck 
when she told him about the gallows and how she was hung,
from a Dule tree long ago in Great Britain;  
Past life regression is not easy, nor is Re-integrative Therapy. 
When she opened her eyes he whispered softly,  
"Anne, I'm Sorry"

Art and Prosecco

Nude draped across *Chaise Longue like a pharaoh,
Stained with cheap coffee from the expresso,
Take-outs growing mould beside my cello,
It reads ‘Buyer’s Dream’ on the sale memo,
Landlord shrieks for rent in high *falsetto,
“Maybe next week”, I sing back in *mezzo,
I pour a long-cracked mug of prosecco,
Next doors jazz flows, Nina Simone’s echo,
That paints the canvas bright gold and yellow.


* Chaise Longue – A long chair
* Falsetto – high-range singing voice
* Mezzo – ‘middle” in Italian (middle range for female singers)

Running For a Hope

Life, still in the cradle of yearning
For a course of hope along which
Wanna run on to the spire of wishing
With facing fires and foes on the way,
But whopping hope halt the way,
Kills the soared longue to fore
And runs itself to finding a hope

Though creeps through the way it faces,
 Yet the hope with which it wishes
 To come along, can't be stepped


Nonetheless, it just wants on a vector
As a hope outside to make itself victor,
In what he itself has dreamt for and
Made true what others hope from it

La Tombe d’arbre – Translation of Oodgeroo Noonuccal’s « Tree Grave » by T. Wignesan

Quand-t-il s’était parti, notre défunt,
Au-delà pour le Monde des Ombres,
Pendant que nous poussions des gémissements,
Nous lui avons enrobé dans d’écorce d’arbres,
Et nous lui avons porté, en récitant
Notre chante de mort lugubre,
Vers sa tombe dans un arbre isolé
Au bord de la Longue Lagune.

Même quand nous sommes bien éloignés
De nos feux de campements éparpillés
Nous ne l’oublions jamais
Ni de jour ni de nuit
En faisant face à l’endroit où il sommeil
Sous la lumière d’une lune blanche,
Au bord des eaux scintillantes
De la lagune silencieuse.

Sont déjà oublié ses exploits de chasse
Et les chansons qu’il avait composées ;
Le pauvre gars tout seul,
Il aura surement de la peur
Quand les vents de la nuit chuchotaient
Leurs aires d’épouvantes
Parmi les chênes marécageux hantés
Au bord de la Longue Lagune.

Longue Bruxelles En Direct

Longue Bruxelles en direct! 

Nous avons besoin de se battre,
Et pénibilité réagir,
Sans retenue ni hésitation,
Et blâmer dans l'agression.

Islam et la foi doivent aller vers le bas,
Ils doivent se résorber dans la renommée,
L'islamophobie est plus crédible,
En raison du terrorisme indélébile.

Il y a quelque chose de faux,
Avec la chanson répétée de la religion,
Qui assimile les radicaux,
Qui sont les criminels potentiels.

Il protège les réactionnaires,
Et les fonds des armées Jahidi,
Nous demander de tolérer,
Le délégué plus libéral.

Nous devons indiquer les lignes,
Des pins sincères de la foi,
En se félicitant de certains,
Et en interdisant l'un.

Incompatibilite

incompatibilité

il ya le risque
que lorsque vous avez décidé
de passer du temps avec ledit
individu
qu'il serait un gaspillage
de votre propre temps
dont vous avez seulement
un montant qui ne peut pas être
réapprovisionné ---
certes, le temps passé
peut être mis sur le compte
«l'expérience»,
du moins c'est la façon dont on
peut le vendre à eux-mêmes
lorsque vous allumez de nouveau dans le
miroir pour ceux longue
moments
quand la réalité de
mortalité
vient chanter son air ---
mais il vraiment suffisant?

idéaliser la situation,
debout par le vieil adage
"mieux d'avoir aimé et
perdu ... »,
pointant les doigts à
ceux qui décident que
cette manière prescrite de
l'acceptation sociale est
tout simplement pas pour eux et
au lieu qu'il s'entendent comme
les bêtes cornées que nous
sont, tout en sueur et orgasmique
dans le soleil d'été,
meulage à l'autre dans
l'herbe, dans un téléphone
stand ou sur une table dans le
arrière du bureau --- soit
ainsi, le résultat final est le
mêmes.

The Meteor - Sofa People

THE    METEOR - SOFA   PEOPLE

Sofa pyromaniacs are skilled to put it mildly. 
Fueled fiercely by gasoline (as is fitting)	 
Or by kerosene burning wildly,
They enjoy a fire to warm their sofa-sitting.

In anger are the flames incepted on the two-seater?
Or by simple accident of cigar or match?
Maybe the cat stumbled over the gas-heater
And then sat nearby to warm and watch?

But however the inferno got started bright,
What caused its plunge to earth
Like a shooting star or meteorite?
Did people push it, for malice or mirth?

To manhandle a burning sofa is a skill  -
Out of a window eight floors up.  If that’s their aim
They’d have to get it balanced on the windowsill
Before igniting the flame.

Oh the joy in their eyes :
Just push - and see the sofa incandescent
Recede and diminish in size
On its plunging earthward descent.

Then the son-et-lumiere display
From the crunch and splitting sound  -
And oh the splendor bright as day
As the glowing hulk meets the ground.

And passing viewers catch their breath
From this Viking-funeral excitement;
And from their close brush with a fiery death  -
Crushed by a hot chaise-longue into the pavement.

Premium Member Chaise Longue

With you,each day
in the quiet,pray
For you I wait each day
while you go into the 'fray
On my own alone
I laze the day away
Without you,I doze each day
how long I never say
In the sun I fade
your covers so deftly made
To me,exhausted you return
a faithful friend,so taciturn
With me,you take great delight
later,as you bed down, for the night

~a Searing Tradition~

Autumn’s tortoiseshell sky
reclined across mountain’s chaise longue,
content to linger
while night stirred and rose.

A tangled weave of broken limbs
lay like nest for dragon’s sleep,
and they came, draped in woolen armour,
quilted masks pulled high
against flailing artic wind,

virgin warriors, wide eyed
tasting the wild adrenaline,
anticipating their conquests flesh
as it roasts in dying embers
of funeral pyre.

Now from the cart
frozen in fear, they carried our victim.
Alabaster skin reflecting flickering brands,
no sounds escaped his painted smile
when we placed him, like a king
upon his final throne.

A circle of stony stares
let murmurs slip,

“Remember, remember the fifth of November
gunpowder, treason and plot.
I see no reason why gunpowder, treason
should ever be forgot... “
