Premium Member Thought of the Day

if our mood be easily altered
by a small shift in the matrix
are we not as yet stagnating 
hypnotised by ego’s cheap tricks

Premium Member Zen Mode

slow fire, temperature altered
discern the trigger point
does it not precipitate
moment to moment

why then stupor

There once was a turtle named Myrtle
Stuck in a plastic ring girdle
It altered her mass
Into an hourglass
Leaving her deformed and infertile.

Suburban Sidewalk

An ancient hitching-post survives
Too strong and stable to tear down;
The horse-drawn cart no more arrives,
For Time has altered Man and town.

So many cities
flattened by angry waves
wind-borne suffering.

Deception
     By Dane Smith-Johnsen

Altered perception.
Magicians' illusions are
Cunning deception.

Thank you, sorry, maybe neither,
I am the altered, for better, for worse.
Lovestruck, hateful, always either,
Confirming confusion: whichever comes first.

She Did

from the coast of Coco
through the red dust of tanga
i traveled to start over
something happened at Mombo
i saw her
her beauty altered the course of my life

New

Life passes by, 
enters into a new reality each day;
each instant becomes altered.


Have we changed?

No Words For Love

UNSUPPORTED CODE 
Image Day's altered in your likness,
 lungs filled to witness mere moments
of heaven
Love only a dream awoken would be
a nightmare
 UNSUPPORTED CODE

Premium Member ever wonder

Was the sun the catalyst
For altered pigments
Narrowed eyes

Genetics
Moving through the cycles
Of nature’s perfection

The moon a silence
Rocking us all to sleep

Wouldn'T Know Me

Wouldn’t know me 
If you saw me
I’ve changed
Altered my ways
And state of mind
I’m over being like that
Over that exterior
I’ll give you my interior
If you’d only ask

Belief

New
Altered
Perspective.
A change of pace.
To believe or not believe this new life?

Letting go of a past that haunted me.
Could this be real?
Or a dream?
Have hope.
Faith.

Premium Member ---Ecstasy Well Met

brilliant laughter
swell the heart of desire
red lipstick kisses

pretty pouting mouth
gateway to infinity
engulf the rising

altered twining souls
rest fed within the joining
ecstasy well met
Form: Senryu

In Comma

Peaceful and relax
At rest but traverse freely
Altered consciousness

Will to access all
Suddenly achieve by thoughts
Radiating oneness

Empathy ignites
As parameters extend
Embrace love without.

Coo coo for CoCo Puffs
Ridicules, silly and all that
Ascending unto altered realities
Zealous lousy I await my fitting for my straight jacket
You see
HUH??????????????

Ardent Love

Welcoming flowers for you
Ever faithful ever sure
underneath an altered heart
Lies an ardent love

At night and during the day
Sweetly smiles enhance your face
Teaching me the way to love
Bound in pious vow

The Altered Land
………………………………………………
There is another world in my dreams
A dream where only I know to walk alone
Beyond control… beyond my means
Yet the altered land belongs the place I call home

Of a Whimsical Nature

Of a whimsical nature 
Moments are fickle 
Situations can be altered 
Life can be totally unpredictable 
Things that seem certain 
May blow up in your face 
Always be on the alert 
Just find a way to make your case

Her Love Touch Embrace and Kiss

transcendental energy of bliss
altered state of consciousness
her love
divination and healing
her touch
rite of passage of the 
wounded healer
her embrace
retrieval of the lost soul
her kiss
