Atlantis

Still
Here in
Atlantis,
Mother of pearls.
Iridescent; being pregnant with light,
A world rebuilding - waiting to hold you.
Resurfacing:
Sea the sun,
Finding 
Home.

Oceans

Swimming in oceans beyond our own understanding. 

Like Atlantis lost in a portal of astonishment.

Mortals forever wandering on-wards lost in the mountains of existence.

Premium Member Do People Still get Born with Tonsils

Do people still get born with tonsils
Or have we evolved past that stage?
Why were they there anyway?
Maybe for when we were mere-creatures
Mermaids and mermen
Swimming in Atlantis


Great White Wedding

I married a shark yesterday; 
we went to Atlantis to stay -
she showed me the sights
(between lots of bites)
as Plato was running away...

My Starseed

Come with me, my starseed
Unveil the mystery of Atlantis
Feel the ancient to the core
An angel told me we belong

Atlantis Per P D

deep within we know its true, under the water bloody blue, the Atlantic choked with mud, down she went with an awful thud, what Plato said was true... Atlantis is true blue... Don Johnson
Form: Ballad

From a 23rd Century Text

The gates of Time yawned back,
And let the Western seas attack,
Hurling tidal waves
That turned the towns to graves.

Atlantis sank before—
And then the California shore
Settled out of view
Below Pacific blue.

Angel of Atlantis

jagged heart hidden
behind hazelnut stone
wicked riddles rolling
inside angelic lips,
petite powerful tongue

connect our souls
my milian, mermaid
princesses don’t belong
under water forever;
even angels rebel

Zionic secret society
Mystical secrets 
lost city of Atlantis
Aliens embarking
What is to become of us?

DaVinci code and psychics 
Rembrandt and Lincoln 
Free Masons and lodges 
Raven terrorizes Poe
I am humbled

You'Ll Get a Rise Out of This

The rise of Atlantis
For this I don't want you to miss

Coming of the new world
With Justice dressed as it's girl

An apple from God's slate
Filling the hunger for ones plate

Safe harbor to now call home
Empowered by minds that love to roam

Atlantis is out there somewhere, it's common logic Falling out of favor with the deities, it submerged in the Atlantic To be discovered one day Possibly it's not far away My real name is Charles, Greek for “Plato”, common knowlege

                    Lights of Atlantis 


                 brightest evening star,
                 flirts with no shame to the sea, 
                 sea gull winks at me.

My Blonde Dream18

Your hair is like Atlantis, mystery behind mystery. Your eyes are like Atlantic, wave over wave. Your body is like a Matrioshka, beauty inside beauty. Your voice is a rose garden,clung in fragrance. But I have nothing to give You my heart sorry for all the shortcomings.

Lost

the roots of my soul run deep,
deep like the river in the mother land of African

my mind is complex,complex
 like the mazes of Britain 

my future is vague, 
vague as religan 
my strength is great ,
great like galieath 

my love is lost 
lost like the city of Atlantis

Atlantis is gone. Great land in the Atlantic. Now you are a memory. Civilization, you were the epitome. You now lie under the sea. O great mother land. Colonizer of the world. What nature has done to you! Because of your sins, destruction swept you away. You will never rise again.

Prince Namor whose off the deck; Whom am I to descend and at what cost; Surfaces on to this timeless wreck; Unable to find one's way; "Help! We're lost!"

The Eagle

Once the eagle flew proud
Reaching upward
Attempting to catch the stars
Unafraid she soured
Ever searching
Death has entered the door
No freedom will she find in her wings
Fear and dread are all she sees
No more shall she hope
Discover has died in her heart
Atlantis is no more a dream
The city which crumbled in the ocean
Is now lost forever amongst the clouds

Hall of Records

Sponsor Paula Swanson Contest Name I See Beyond... Hall of Records I see beyond the will of thought, The Hall of Records yet, brought forth, Zahi Hawass, Egyptian searcher, The underground channel, Is there sought. But it will not be found, Till resurrected one is bound, To claim the world’s history found, Of the world that we know ought, Atlantis is brought forth…

Wish Upon a Star

Why try to catch a falling star?
At best, it’s a foolhardy notion,
I rather stand in front of a car
Crawl up to the highest peak
Sail the seas and Atlantis I seek 
And set the clock of fate in motion,
Or cower behind a lie, frail and meek
And drink myself silly in a bar!

Apotelesma: An Ode To the Stars

Oh, sweet stars above,
Allow me thine embrace;
For there is not
a more pure nor 
More wondrous
Presence
Than that of the heavens;

My world,
Inspired by thee,
Is slowly consumed
By the rising ocean of color
Slowly, slowly,
Thine depths are veiled,
Slipping silently as Atlantis.
Yet I know 
Without a doubt
Thou shalt return
To envelop me
In thine starry brilliance
Once again.

Premium Member Dancing With Roses

Dancing with roses
In the garden of the dead
High above Atlantis 
And below the heaven's 
Is where they lay their heads
Their beds are made of grass
Growing up from the earth
The creatures in the garden
Have succumb to their own
Lusty thirst
But with all the rotten misfortune 
That plagues their precise lives
There are still a few 
That want to renew
The garden's
Way of life

Premium Member Carolyn's Birthday

CAROLYN’S BIRTHDAY

“You must believe!” she says
“The evidence is clear.” says she
“In that broad mysterious deep
Somewhere
Down there
Are palaces    docks    pyramids    a crystal
All that once was fair”

She looks at Earth today
Warning all    in her kind way to
“Heed the fate of Atlantis days
Love the land    not the gold
Save the miracles God hath bestowed”

Happy birthday, dear Carolyn
