Premium Member A Quaint Tale

               A tale
       laced with arcane, 
   readers hiccup through it;
Quaint text they cannot decipher 
            peeps out.

great-tailed grackle

great-tailed grackle
struts across the wind-dried lawn
cackling secrets.

he squawks his madness
jibbering arcane folklore
for any to hear.

Premium Member My Romantic Dream

A romance of dancing in the warm rain,

While locked in a lover's embrace.

A silent vow of  love arcane,

Whispering eminent joy to the human race.

Premium Member Not My Vision

A surreal thought:
Sonorous corridors are murmurous minds.

An arcane thought:
Gorgeous means dazzling
but sounds unrefined.

January

the cold wind of January
there were no birds
only old brambles
and an ending of a song
months of drizzle
impartial to the sun
the arcane wind raffles
pelted with pebbles
flowers bitter confetti

Premium Member Happy-Snappy Birthday Jane

Jane, Jane
You're so mundane;
Your cackle, your laugh  reminds me much such
As of a champagne
Your voice makes me queasy
And yet you are feisty
Though this message
May seem arcane
Happy, snappy birthday Jane

The Papers

The purple lands
reading the daily papers
following others leads
A message from your editor
The Sunshine is low
the air rarefied
but every friend is now your enemy
no matter the end
and the rest is mere interest
across some arcane wind

Cinematography of a Memory

Oblivious to arcane mishaps
That molest the bones established by society
The echo of her tattoo sings of a great depression
Each time the memory surfaces,
A twisted grin is born
Perhaps this could be the preluding window to existential purgatory

Acorns Fallow

Acorns fallow
where do squirrels feed
Snowdrops late this year
The seasons awry
and still we feel the cold
as the arcane wind barricades
itself amongst the pummelled fence
Here a strange madness begins to find out
its root of dreams
amongst the dying trees

blue of the waves

The stretching of nimbus
arcane  into the neigh
the grateful dead laugh
into the dark
half lying 
with mouth open
where the sons of the glen
take you into the Sun
over broken barricades
mounds of high light appear
into the blue of the waves
kiss winds spark

Premium Member Eternal Flame

From dust to dust 
Earthly body must return
For eternal life
The soul must learn

Do no harm
Much love to emphasise
No fear just calm
The soul will rise

Discover all that is arcane
When we pass from here to there
The pinnacle eternal flame
Before we leave wisdom to share

A Palace of Pink

Femininity claimed her loveliness fair
As stood their castle aside the arcane sea
Brushing the tiny tangles from her soft 
Silkened hair and our eyes did meet...
This waltz amid the silent silver glass
Meant to be's her endless love, reflects
Our lips they meet; kisses, a palace of pink.

Starlight

The starlight from the past
reaches our eyes.
When was that moment,
that brief sidereal glow?
When that shining wake
really slipped
along the galactic boundaries?
Light, distance and time
are showing their arcane
and we astonished are observing now
what formerly happened.

Bitter Nightshade

Bitter Nightshade 

Too late now for an Intercessor--
My red, Luscious, Bittersweet berries 
Have done their work...and I'm Quiescent...
Ambivalent to your Tactile ruse 
Seen as the Quintessence and Arcane. 
Your Flamboyant tryst sealed my Immolation.

Shadow River

Beneath the bright, white, flight of the water finger-bones stir mud. Each digit a buried metaphor for lovers that had once written on clear skies. There in the turgid dark they create words from shadows, dark slow swirls, an arcane scrolling only dead-fish may interpret.

But She Looked So Lovely Under the Lights

Each time that I see her
A switch is stimulated within me
So arcane yet freakishly alluring
And like a tiger hunting its prey

I chased her pirouetting shadow ever so enthusiastically
The taste of it quite addicting in a hopelessly romantic sense
Tirelessly becoming the axis on which my beliefs lie

We the Arcane

We, the Arcane, plod along,
Our faith keeps us strong,
If folk listen to us,
There'd be Peace, no fuss,
Far better than a bomb,
Prayers unite with aplomb,
Peace now! Damn right!
No need to get uptight,
Cost annihilation,
Faith leads liberation,
our faith keeps us strong,
Humans, plodding along...

Arcane Factories I

Arcane Factories
Along the windswept wasteland
broken bones of humanity unimaginable 
a Tyranny in the mind's eye
bleak landscapes of industry churn
spires reaching to torch heaven,
huge towers of jaded glass,
soaring to the zenith 
breaking fire of crimson waves
pouring down 
to hells foundations.

So-Called

So-called civilization
busy in searching of pure nectar
Where water can't quench the throat of the poor

Nowadays
So-called movement for hygienic civilization-
an asylum of mental disease
Where two times foods rights a day 
are hoarded in the arcane abdomen of the capitalist

Bajou

you gave a bajou
and the summer rain
toppled and confused
we left under our own accords

In the morning
we recanted,
sitting in misery
you said you never loved us


we tried to stroke our bruised egos
but the arcane wind was chaffing,
with the rest of your friends
we sweetly languished 
unkissed by the dawn

Magic

I could use a little magic tonight
some sorcerer to sympathize
and with his kind arcane words
conjure a spark so I may finally
find my way to some lovely land
lucent with Panglossian light
after doleful decades stumbling
solitary and blind in the bitterly
brumal dark fearing with each 
step I will fall and fail to rise

Tree Words

The woods have been gathering here
for generations,
they bring their faithful rings
scored into aged ligneous skins.

The language of the trees is arcane,
it arrives from deep ancestral roots.

Tree-words turn green while still in the seed,

those seeds grow
until they sing like bells
chiming with the earth-turning sky.
