Premium Member Ball And Chain

There was a big party for smiling groom
Ceremonial before his wedding at noon
The men celebrate 
The smallest handcuff made
Is the wedding ring he will wear will soon

Cardinals



I saw the cardinals today
Clad in ceremonial crimson red
Tiara tufts above their heads.

Silken sheen on satin capes,
Looking down from lofty perch
Of nest in apse of nearby church.

Premium Member A date with sunrise

i invite the freshness
of the mountain air
to fill my lungs
inhale replenish
and clear my thoughts
as i quietly await 
the ceremonial rising 
of the majestic sun

Truth Whisper

Sinking alone in deep despair
I hear to truth whisper
Where Impermanence of beings
Is ignored as ever a bliss
And truth buried ceremonial
To invite happiness immoral
Such falsity of worldly affair 
Can one ever be altruistic?

British Ceremonial Guard

She guards her heart with more than fine steel,
And combination of sorts.
To break the face of a stern-faced guard
Is almost considered a sport.
To see a rock wall shed a tear,
As impossible as it may be.
Emotion hits the hardest with words
And it waves the hardest in seas.

An Initiative Lurk

When you fail to entertain ask someone for voluntary work.
to learn about boring, to apply a healthy jerk,
Don't hurt anybody, build climax, wisely and warmly,
Patience can promote you when you have an initiative lurk,
Believe me, you shall seek an appointment for ceremonial Kirk.

Premium Member Home Is Where the Heart Is, Isn'T It

Always in black, Fr. McShane
raises cathedral hands and intones,
‘our brother is finally home.’

Absolved of the fight to contain
a lifetime of tears
in this ceremonial splendor

I just have to wonder.  

His Nikes are ‘home’
in the walk-in closet,
aren’t they?

Stonehenge

Eerie beauty and mystery
Permeate gray stones
Forming a temple,
An observatory, a timepiece
For Britain's earliest arrivals
Who left ancestors buried
In pagan mounds awaiting
The Anglican God.
By moonlight the Druids,
Wandering the grounds
Once their domain,
Performed ceremonial rites 
Not revealed by the ages.

Unsung Hands

How can you unsee an etched wound ?
The name will tell the moon.
An empty sky now calls for
the rains.

What was it-
the ceremonial farewell ?
A dependable pain now starts
pulling out the sharpnels from the body. 

You may call it
meaningless. My poem now
moves between the stings. Somebody
was going for a merciless kill.

Premium Member At last the Demond unbound

The demon bound
through the years
grew wise,
found it a ceremonial thread.

He tore it
lept with hysterical joy,
the numbing bondage
no longer confined him.

He danced in newfound glee
yet wondered,
"What a fool, I have been all along,
to let this thread bind me.

Free at last,
with wisedom gained
a changed life began -
a wiser one.

Musical Submarine

Musical submarine 
Down South
John Lennon, toilet paper and comb
Hendrix put down his guitar
Hummed and sang  rrrr, brrr, dooo

Ride of the Valkyres
At the Royal Albert Hall
Nearly four thousand players 
What a buzz in the place
Good vibrations

Africans before them
Ceremonial noises

The Wind

The February full moon stirred
A wintery blustering
Wind that roared through the neighborhood
Like an out-of-control freight train.
The stark, naked trees swayed wildly
In a ceremonial dance
While low-growing tree branches touched
Intermittently the ground
In swift, servile genuflections.
Then for an abbreviated
Lull, an eerie silence prevailed
Within this moonlit quietude
Until the winds bellowing voice
Was heard echoing its return.

Women Know Which Men To Marry

Women know which men to marry
And Normal Woman won’t tarry;
To keep praising her Sir Barry
But it’s going to be Larry,
Barry to keep giving her Garri
To keep enjoying it Larry…

And she’d keep flirting with Harry,
Who her great burdens does carry;
Ceremonial thanks to Zorro
Who in her behalf would borrow,
Promising creditors morrow
But bed-time sleeping in sorrow…

Poor Zorro who does hard soils harrow
And watch over sows that farrow.

Long long ago in a land far away Was this slave girl named Gedophamee Worked as a prostitute to earn some dough Name was pronounced “Get-offa-me!” At an athletic festival in Roman times Male athletes performed in the buff Preventing arousal while they competed They imbibed and downed other stuff At the opening gala ceremonial parade One lady exclaimed “Oh! Limp Dicks!” Ever since that momentous occasion It has morphed into the “Olympics”

(Gentle Summer Rain)

Listen to:
light pouring silver gray
enriched thoughts fall from the sky
complete path towards-
Blissful, Delighting Peace
small ceremonial rain dance.
------------

Gentle therapeutic rain
on a warm summer day.
falls of heaven on my skin 
lovely healing memory
smiling tears 
embracing promise land
means of escaping
utopia in a cloud
Solace-
light mist paints the Earth

"Drizzling summer rays."
Swimming in sunshine, rain.

When the Earth Was Young

Smouldering charcoal smoke drifting
Heady mead distilled  from  honey...
Whethered white skin tropical sea
Gleaming sun  path  on  the water
Rising up out of the ancient ocean
Bronze  sheild  glinting in the light
Celtic metalwork deep in the earth
A hundred million years ago under
the sea was the great sacred stone
Ceremonial patterns of swirling line
Druids  little  hamlet  thatched  roofs
were bathed in the suns reddish light.
Freshly baked bread  crickets at night.
