Premium Member Retrograde
I am a retrograde, who never says goodbye To my old greener grass, to my bluer sky I live within the past, still the time goes fast Each day’s a circle line train, each round’s the last The news I watch today I’ve seen times before The music I prefer must be the one I know I wouldn’t ask...

you … whisper me - regular intervals, but brief, dim … softly skipping … like echos from a shadowy wood the words trouble my spirit with their dark gravity soft-speak fingertips burning flesh for passion’s sake etching their truth more fiercely than blood … your desire about me, circling but in opposition contrary to my norms - antimatter alchemy a carnal conjuring pressed tenderly to ear my world made mute with...

Time In Retrograde
On the edge of November sighs the end of October steps aside, the roses no longer in bloom as they did in the warmth of June; come the winter of our descent into timeless age well spent as memories overtake our souls and hearts remembering what drew us close then set us apart; Slip away old grudges and...

Retrograde Liberty
You’re a consumer pawn on the cargo chessboard, being merchandise moved by the mighty, free-market bellow powers-that-be: The Babble Tower titans of industry And the fawning, vote hopes that you have is advancing conveyor belt backwards The packaged progress that you ballot bought is expired, retrograde liberty It’s so commercially uncool to be a grin shill, shiny used tool — a patsy...

Premium Member Faerie Wonderland Retrograde
Beyond the wispy, secretive slick and silent faerie wonderland Forthwith and within, and among the angels, are mindful mountains, Protecting the delicate,feeling-forth creatures, who slumber amongst the roses. Roses of colors not experienced on this planet, because these rose colors are reserved for when humans reach heaven's gates, and not to be seen until. Shimmering, delicate wing-tipped creatures, lie among...

''Retrograde Wind''
Listen to the wind,as it speaks gods' command.Feels cold as it blows through my hair.Look at the sand as it drifts by at a fast paced cyclone.The smell of vapor,as the storm approaches.Wind carries cautious concern....
