Premium Member Grim grey gaunt '

With lank longish hair, of virtue most spare
Hollow cheeked, with joints that creak..An elderly evil proponent of deaths i see there is a reek a pungence of cadavers in such abundance, he knows not where he has buried children a'plenty Grandfathers their
Wives, but then for satan he strives.' He must at least rank as a liutennant skull and
Cross bones on his pennant, a trace of accord..He has trodden the boards floors he is invisible on the black squares.' And will never give up his share.' He mooted for
Guvenor of Gaza, no other i dare could
 Show such brass neck.' Of tony blair, who will
Be, no doubt? flexing his ropey old pecs.'

Alignment

 
 
crown petals unfold for lofty Light
fontanelle gaping softly smile
Centre Point’s hole blazon mile

pineal connects as conical way
to galactic edenic binomial rays
loosens ovuliferous scales honed

thyroid equalises, tongue relaxes
cylinder opens larynx true blue
speech becomes intended hues

heart softens atria, ventricles 
valves linking doors of paradise
protected golden it rhapsodises 

coin-line verticle-horizontal spherical 
solar plexus flowers monumental near
mystical super might no incidentals 

feed flows smooth for tantric beats
sacral seat in creativity knowing heat
power is orange action satisfaction 

rooted into Earth mooted primordial 
authentic estate mirthful immemorial 
aligned connection very refined

Forget regret, riffs on what ifs

Forget riffs of regrets

But

To the hilt
We tilt to 
Inbuilt lilt
A guilt quilt
Can jilt & wilt 

But

No tiffs with what ifs
Won’t let you fret
Circumspect.. I find
Older you get
Bet..more honest…more kind

Care more..know more
Late bloomer rumour
Embraces candour...humour
Respect velvety vagaries
Traces of reflect

Suspect future’s the tutor
Detect serendipity the suitor
Evolution..glints of revolution
Pip that convoluted New Year’s tip

Genuinely don’t genuflect
No sorrow...deflect hints 
Of mooted rebooted resolution
Suspect Tomorrow might 
Be your best day yet!

I/you
is/am/was
a soldier of 
fortuitous (mis)fortune

a quiet
puddle 
piddling in
southerly sloth

a gnarly ghost 
galloping in 
whirling ~ twirling ~ swirling
electronic sandstorms

!---)))>>>--->>>)))---!

adrift in tortured time
submerged in 
the timeless slime of 
gaslit dumpster fires

a hypersonic tsunami
of repetitive rage
revolting within & against
a cadaverous cage

light is muted
visions are mooted
delusions get uprooted?
an unfortunate creature soldiers on

Status sitting 
Involved mooted
Tracking aloof 
Under above 
Altered intact
Twisted direct
Inside outside 
Open enclosed 
Neutral biased 

Normal haywire 
Ordered manic
Resolved unsure 
Measured abstract 
Attends misses
Loving loathing 

Always sometimes 
Loner teammate 
Loser trooper 

Friendly hostile 
Ugly stunning 
Callous caring
Killing healing 
Evil gentle 
Depraved saintly 

Utmost lowest
Pleasing psycho

Remember when couples would sit and gaze into each others eyes?

Remember when you could survive hours on your loved ones' smile?

Remember when you'd talk about your shared desires and past memories?

Remember when you could laugh and giggle on a journey for miles and miles?


Pixels steel the window views

Words are written they're not mooted

Screens fill the travelling mind

Ads, Gifs, Apps is what you find

Immediately IT takes control of you

When your mind could be drifting on natures' view.

COPLA 85 INVOCATION : This Bad Guy World

If the aim’s to nullify conflict
How could evolution be willed :
Sheer accident

Since species are subject to roles strict
Just to keep each entity drilled :
None come out spent

If the idea was mooted first
Then set to plan by innate laws :
What’s the purpose

Just to assuage Creator’s thirst
To see how we obey His powers :
Meaninglessness

I’ve a face for the radio well suited
And a voice at it’s best when its muted
I’ve got knees that are bony
I am ever so moany
My opinions are frequently mooted

But do not be put off by this verse
For I’m sure you could do a lot worse
I’ve a manner that’s kind
And I think you will find
I look lovelier from the reverse
