The Pain of Enticing Ice

Th'pain of ice is th'lacquer o'stife
To th'begg'd bane, stilled, thawed
Caught'n satin fame, dragg'd towards
Th'Blood of a sadden'd kiss, 
"To this"
"To what o'this"
Seen 'nstead of 'nfringed love
The blade, call'd catharsis a dove,
"To this" 
"To what o'love"
Fraught, unthought shove
Fame fall'n still, dripp'd 'n drench'd f'love
Bade blade ripp'd the blanch'd flesh
O'th'pure goers' eternal rest
Lay hereafter, for'ver after,
Goeth detestable

Premium MemberPrelude To A Fairy Tale

Once upon a time
over the hills and far away,
near the sea there lived
a viridescent princess. 

She gazed at the waves
which seemed to appear so royal.
Still, they have freedom
that grace the scullery maids.

Rushing to the edge 
stopping short of going forward.
The story of life. 
Her crown seemed to possess her.

Forced to become rogue,
battle the storm below

Covid Prelude to a Seminal Moment


Most Free thinkers ought then to agree,
that this 'Cabaal' has always been, 
Quite sophisticated, hidden 
Although very devious utterly, 

Yet openly subversive, 
With its insipid evil methodology..

Were Trump to return 
and Biden resign,.. 
Albeit though by stealth 
of an ulterior design
Their owners in Luciferian Banking decide.. 

So, a ruse, Good cop/Bad cop 
notwithstanding, 
What then

    On his way to another Super Bowl
       Patrick Mahomes is on another roll

    He does just barely enough to win
       And then displays that silly smug grin

Premium MemberA Preamble Ramble

Before we play, let's preamble with the entree,
Enjoy the soft shoe shuffle, before the souffle.
Dancing tipsy, on tippy-toes, to belay and delay the mainstay.
It's a wily whisper of words, a teaser to savor in foreplay.

To amble and gamble, to begin with the starters on show,
Unscrambles the egg, but won’t scramble the glow.
For it's only a

Premium MemberPRELUDE TO LONELINESS

We let time go by thinking that we will remain the same.
As we were together each day became a change within itself.
The change within us gradually occurred.
Separation was not our plan.
What we did not see or try to understand that our spirit was not the same.
Dividing us a sharp precise division leaving us not as

On Phantom Pain  (Prelude)


When an illness
    — such as blindess or dementia —
Descends…
Then
Which direction of the heart
Will you choose
To mark the  rising vibrance
Of each new day’s stark, 
Hopeful radiance…?




** This is the prelude to a poemstill in progress, describing/defining phantom pain.

best to do right now

Premium MemberHeavenly Prelude

As Christian worshipers, there is a special place where we meet
together and offer our God worship that's personal and free.
Although buildings constructed for God's business are also primary,
The prime function and purpose happen in a place called the SANCTURY.

In the SANCTUARY, there is seeing, hearing, and feeling.
In the SANCTUARY, many are experiencing healing.
There are myriads

Premium MemberPrelude To a Misty Morning

Last night in the garden, I bent on one knee,
Proposed to my love and she agreed to marry me.
I picked a crimson rose and placed it in her hand,
the hand that would soon wear my wedding band.

Wettened by the mornings dew 
Closely spaced where rows of roses grew 
Footprints stained the cobblestone 
Where my love

Kisses As Passion's Prelude

In passion's realm where hearts entwine,
Where desire ignites with every sign,
There lies a moment, sweet and true,
Where kisses pave the path anew.

Like gentle raindrops on a parched land,
Kisses quench the thirst, hand in hand,
They speak a language, soft and divine,
Whispering secrets, bodies intertwine.

Upon the lips, a tender embrace,
A prelude to passion's fiery chase,
They dance in
