Premium Member Chapter 116 -- Damian Delilah Mallory: Food Celebrations and Sickening Preoccupations

Today September 10, 2046 was
Matthias and Shadir's day. Dolly
Came to wake Molly from an empty
Plate dream. "Wake Molly girl!  On
Your feet honey I know you're hungry."
Molly laid in bed stretching, "Okay
I'm up! Ugh! What time is it." Molly
Shielded her eyes from the sun  shining 
Through the vast panoramic window.
"11o'clock come on I cooked. Hit
The shower stank rose." Dolly pulled
Her from the bed and pushed her
To the shower. Molly jerked away.
"Alright!! That's...I'm okay. Good job."
Go check everybody else. Let me 
Be." Then she started the shower as
Dolly left.  Delilah began inventory 
When Mallory was done with her
Shower and full final morning preparation.
Molly came to Dolly, "So What's in
The pipes for today."  Dolly reported 
"First I'm doing Inventory, securing our
 food supply."

All Will Be Well

"All of us are on a journey and the answers are unspoken"

                         Quote by _Constance La France 

All will be well in near future 
If I  keep coming close to you darly
Because I understand your importance 
In this journey of life.
I keep trying my best to break a big  way 
As you can see this small  
Progress through my capacity 
As a man of good visions. 
I will seem hypocrite
 If I  don't recognise 
Your importance
 To me publicly
 And keep praising you secretly.
You can be the only 
Reason to live in this small city 
May be I could be visiting big world cities.
Keep sharing advices
 Answer my preoccupations  sometimes
 But living with you under the same roof, 
 It is  my best prayer to God.

Premium Member The Starting Point

THE STARTING POINT
the trail
 merely a device
the counterpart
featured
the obvious
 in the human heart
 entirely physical
hiding from reason
yet adhering simultaneously
yet
deservedly forgotten
condescending
but
  corresponding
to a love interest
with opportunities
so prominent

the truth
  dallying
   in atmospheric
 preoccupations

NOTE:THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE without grammatical symbols the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and respond thus making the form a two way interplay and often a unique interpretation by the enigma so derived

Premium Member Brucke An Inner Necessity

preoccupations 
     with paradise
sans
   illusions
    yet       in retreat
beyond
the artwork

this spur to create
an inner
       necessity

the starting point
devoid
       of content
yet the soul
      is     
        visible
the unspoilt
revealed

beginnings
become
the
     end

Premium Member Now I Lay Me Down

Now I lay me down to sleep 
          with the satisfaction 
       that I've dotted all the Is,
          crossed off all the Ts;  

    and I've checked all the boxes 
        on the accomplishments 
     of the day. So I bury my head 
       on the pillow with gratitude, 

anticipating the dawn of a new day.
      Today is done. I'm free now;
 untethered from woven tapestries 
       of what-might-have-beens.

             I have piece of mind.
       I've resigned from gnawing 
         preoccupations of unmet 
  prospects and unseized moments.

         Those I'll hold in abeyance.
      I lay me down to sleep tonight
        with a prayer that tomorrow 
    will be a better day, a brighter day.

Premium Member Let Yourself Go a Surreality

come to the beginning
                a vague     riddle
                an open obfuscation
                with
                    little context
         the who     what     when   how

primitive themes
                   of the unconscious
                   preoccupations
                      with the misshapen
              changed
                 no longer lucid
vaporous
        designed to
                         surprise   provoke

floating glimpses
           bizarre    twisted
                             tentacles
       unsettling    juxtaposed
in
   miniature
               doodles&
                       swirls

Premium Member It's Heaven When I Sleep

Weary at the end of a long, punishing day.
         It's heaven when I close my eyes to sleep;
     tightly-held preoccupations and woes drift away
        as I slowly sink into a calm, bottomless deep.

      Such a liberating escape, finally counting sheep.
    Off to dreamland, I go, and Morpheus leads the way.
       I wish you'd come with me, and off we'll creep
   to a peaceful heath in my dream where butterflies play

Premium Member Centennial Milestone

Born January eighth, nineteen thirteen
No champagne, no birthday cake
No celebration or even a banner
Only memories of a party
That might have been
January eighth, two thousand thirteen

Taken too soon
You would have reached a hundred
What your eyes have seen
All the progress you witnessed
For better or for worse
A century ago

Impossible for us
To even imagine
How times were different then
With so few fancy cars
Different priorities
And preoccupations
A different era
A different world

Happy hundredth to you
Cheers. Love you. Rest in peace
We’ve tried to move on without you
For better or for worse
