Premium Member Ho Hum’s Quadrant

 Quiet quibbles with silence and hushed wind’s quackery.
Have nonsensical need for an ice cold daiquiri.

Chicanery of leafy season, coursing slowly,
before its blustery countermand uplifts wholly.

Monotonous quarrel needs a quaff of arctic air,
an unquestioning brisk of maple burning its flare,

Like brandy, in quiescent afterglow’s flirtation,
ho hum’s quadrant equips me for intoxication.

I’ll not be a crone, with quaking bones, beneath a pad
of sunset quilt. I’ll be cold. I’ll brave it. I’ll go mad

with cacophonous joy, kick the crispy depth of leaves.
Removal of sequacious grin. Broad smile Fall retrieves.

Arduo Adro

from where I am I see the holy field (I wanted to skip this stage, you know... stop getting impatient whenever I see little yellow flowers on the surface of the earth, never hear again the poisonous distant voice that calls, submit myself once and for all to the depressing hammer of the day and pay more attention to the height of the buildings in this city). 

the steep lane and the cypress trees are two, three hundred meters away (this quadrant on the timeline no longer allows you to smile, everything is annoying or irrelevant: children, money, televisions, barking). the holy field would convey calm and peace, if peace and calm reigned in the heart of what they call inside. 

going up the lane so many times to say goodbye, one fine day you will be there (let me know if you also immediately imagine the quiet and placid horizontality, gray birds languidly flying over our terminal rectangular geometry, sunny afternoons of a death that has no end). 

Is it the irreversibility of the solemn procession as it leaves the chapel or the heartbreaking gravity stamped on the wrapper of that moment that must make you think very carefully before leaving?

Desper

thursday night
twenty seven degrees
if you want to know i'm sad
but this is quite normal
because in this quadrant of life
there's a taste of old insomnia
a one way ticket
a meaningless fall
descent dark landscape view
who paved this street already knew
who would walk for it
and what kind of stones to use
to cause maximum agony


Muted Midday

Naked pure newborn Eden, unashamed
                Soles step intrepid on spongy moss 
                Quadrant of tropical dapple claimed 
                Fruits in Winterless heart's emboss 


    Limbs mingle, indulged by marquee manuevres 
           Ponder labyrinth piths without hindrance
    Sultry poetry compiled among canopy soothing 
            Canoe traverses untold as fingerprints




                22nd April

               To Kingsley

Archrival

1st verse

Unless I'm holding true
if I'm not loving on cue
I cannot function
I lie here with conjunction
woe I cannot fight this
I care as do I miss you

2nd verse

I imagine this almost constant
your words I'm glued to quadrant
though at times they're cruel
I've allowed you to rule
oh I wish I didn't
I love you as a sweet fondant

Chorus

I'm constantly waiting on your arrival
we're not on the same path of survival
I can't even form a sentence
you've got me in repentance
so I'll continue longing
for you my arch-rival

Chorus (repeat)

Everything That Breathes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lR8BaGbOoL8


As I watch the daisies pushing up towards the July sun 
I hear a song of joy being sung, for my heart alone 
They own an ethereal beauty and innocence that 
reminds me of a time when I was young like them 
Beautiful are their golden faces, and their stems; 
Those majestic trees that spread their leaves so high 
remind me of a golden era of wheat and plenitude 
strong stocks and verdant greens is all I saw ;
Cascades of sunlight falling like curtains on my willow 
leading me to longing for scent of flowers on my pillow
If I could freeze the vision of my yesterdays enmesh 
I think I'd frame it with my quadrant mind , alas 
everything that lives returns to mother earth 
everything that breathes , deserves rebirth 
and as I watch the daisies pushing up towards the July sun 
I hear a song of joy being sung, for my heart alone.


Hollow Space

Our universe is practically hollow space
Our dimension is made of hollow space
Our quadrant is essentially hollow space
Our galaxy is largely hollow space
Our solar system is full of hollow space
Our planet is lined with hollow space
Our structures are hollow space
Our cells are filled with hollow space
Our atoms are all but hollow space
Our fundamentals are waves- just hollow space
Our bodies are of hollow space 
Ourselves- created from hollow space
Our Hearts and Minds are hollow space
Tell me, what are you and me?

Constellation Prize



The muse time travelers fatefully freewill say,
this love of ours was written long ago in the stars
But presently, my earthling feelings
is Venus empty
Got no romantic future happening ...
on another orbital losing spin
Just a tinfoil head man 
listening to the upper UV wave band
Alpha Centauri hoping for a constellation prize

Then out of the delta quadrant, 
I heard a string of “pings”
A supernova force, binary stellar voice — 
Projecting a holographic image of a robot face,
it was mechanically screaming wildly at me:

Danger, Will Robinson!
Your heart is gonna get lost in her space,
and there ain’t no outer limit to this pulsar pleasure place

The cosmic choice given
was a “Love Theory of Relativity”
Grab hold of the quantum bond
and let the cold fusion burn nebular deep

That’s how it time continuum is
when you meet the Orion woman of your galactic dreams
Constellation prize instantly arrives
on a solar wind flight “faster-than-light” transporter beam 

Danger ... passion overload, Will Robinson!
Your heart is gonna blow pure crystal dilithium,
and there ain't a single symbiotic soul to repair the hole

Eight Sided Snowflakes

New baby angels float in turquoise gowns
Come down slow like opened parachutes 
On eight sided snow flakes in Alaska
Where sun light plays with ice on trees
With colors creating crystal glowing dreams

Angels come in peace from far off galaxies
From newly created universes from beyond
At the edge of quadrant five where time began
Where holy forces congregate with dark matter 

Brilliant beacons of hope travel on light beams
At light speed to find a home with fallen snow
As children find the wilderness in innocence
Exploring the unknown 

Woven through eternity in the fabric of time
Children capture snow flakes in their mind
Play with angels hidden deep inside each one 
Parachuted down from heaven on eight sides

Triple Digits

7/8/17

Triple digits
Not just talking about riches
Better mind your own business
And keep your distance
Before you start sleeping with the fishes

Never should it ever be forgotten
There is only so much time allotted
Regarding anything cosmic
Whether or not it
Involved aeronautics
Better get on this
To be honest
If it was what you truly wanted
Near and far from what is labeled as haunted
I never once thought I had it all in my pocket
I'm just coming in faster than a rocket
And comet
Across any quadrant
Trying to earn respect and profit
By using more than skill and logic

I just can't be stuck
Never really had much
Whether or not it had anything to do with bad luck
I'll man up
Regardless of it it's easy or that's tough
I'll move far past stuff
And earn every last buck

Premium Member Beam Me Up

To delta quadrant the Enterprise is assigned
 But captain Kirk has long since resigned
 But he'll let you know
 Cheap places to go
 As he does ads for priceline

 Spock is light years from Mars
 You can see him twinkle from afar
 He still shines bright
 His logic is right
 He's found a place among the stars

Sulu was exposed to too many gamma rays
 And was taken to sick bay
 Scottie beamed him down 
 to a nice resort town
 Where he spends happy days

 But I must admit
 Scottie has seen it fit
 To remain on high
 Circling the sky
 He was beamed up into Earth's orbit

 Uhura worked with NASA for a while
 On a mission that was worthwhile
 She still recalls the bliss
 When she and Kirk did kiss
 And it makes her smile

 Dr. McCoy made no "bones" on what he would say
 His humor probably cured many in sick bay
 If he was overworked
 He'd tell Captain Kirk
 "By golly Jim I'm beginning to think I can cure a rainy day!"

Fester

I think Christian fundamentalists tight, 
Know the word fester as if it’s right, 
When they’re only claiming to plant, 
A seed to nurture you in your quadrant.

Stars

For they were akin to stars
Brightest in their quadrant
Lovers in every regard
Bound to be apart,
it was their curse, their struggle, their fight.
For they knew, if broken from their yoke,  which in an eternity so rare
Spelt destruction, calamity, night.

Mum Cake

Put:
A spill of oil
An excessive shower of water
A clump of main substance
A quadrant of eggs
Some mistakes
Some naughty words
A spillage
Allow to bake for too long
A wonderful Mum cake – perfect to touch and to taste

Mathematical Love

Dear Love,
I may not be good with 
words
because my English
is not fluent, but What I feel 
deep
inside my heart
persuades me to express 
myself
mathematically. Every time 
I see u, u
simultaneously divide my 
life into
two equations. Because my
feelings for u cross -
multiply on a daily basis, u 
inspire
me to be greater
than zero. Your smile keeps 
me in
touch with the
special angles of my heart. 
You
make me feel relaxed on 
the X-
axis where Y is equals to 
zero. When I come
across u, I feel like I'm 
turning like
a parabola and
meet you on the turning 
point
where I can utter 3
words to you. Words that 
describe the mid point
of my heart. Without u my 
heart is
like a semi circle.
Because
u stole the other half. I will
appreciate if we could come 
together and solve for x so
that we both
stop to be vertically 
opposite and
start to be
corresponding angles. I 
know u r
intelligent enough to 
understand that when it 
comes to
trigonometrical
world, we r all positive in 
the first
quadrant.love you so much
