Premium Member Radio Silence

And the radio silence is making me cipher my feelings
Into higher words beyond the expression of meanings,
Making me loosen my grip on reality through new thinkings.

Premium Member The Past

a thing beyond,
once kept close
now
an aberration
a cipher
in patterns of dust
in the 
       sweepings
of my yesterdays,
a happening
that has become
history

mighty great heavens
                                maze of specked stars cipher of

Got back up

2:43 AM

618 strangers
watched me bleed ink.
One bought hope
at 2:43 AM.

I was the scam.
Now I'm the verse.
Get back up.
Read the rest.

Call

How many times can one stare
at the cell, hoping to induce a call?
She promised she’d ring later, but
it hasn’t chimed its siren song,
and I wait here in the dark, melting
into the couch, the stone-cold cipher
a mute testimony to indifference
and a lonely heart.

The Snowflake

She dances at the edge of my mind 
That little frilly dolly, coy and shy 
With cipher weight she slow unwinds  
leaving me with a desire to fly   
as she melts away and turns to nigh

The Difference

Always a thought bothers me.
How the winner should behave
with stuffed ego?

A cipher this side, 
or that side, makes a huge difference
in life.

Some solar retribution
of Yohimbi ?
A victim could wait.

Two severed arms
lay on road, still spurting blood !

Unravel Led

Unravel led

I am resolved
to solve
the mystery
that is you.

Each breath
you take
I calculate
and compute.

I will decipher,
clarify and unfold
each piece of the puzzle
that you hold.

You are the cipher
for me to disclose.
I will no longer analyze.
You heart I unroll.

Premium Member So Little Time

A little diddle time To write loathsome rhyme Restarts your sensing fine Some dig a mine to cipher Parlayed a broken cause You stumbled on my clause Dement recusing paused Tears on your wishing wiper Another line you cry? We breathe a final sigh An aging lullaby From diapered to a diaper

Neuro

Your mind is an open book,
A museum piece on display
For the world’s prying eyes
To gaze upon, judge, pulling
Apart each gyrus as though
Scavenging your thoughts. 

But you forget that not everyone,
Strange or familiar,
Holds the cipher that decodes
The jumbled text sprawled across
Those vast, weathered pages.

Premium Member On That Day When All Is Dark

For Ananga

        On that day when all is dark

When I wake on that blackened day
Though I wake to find no day
I will burn a flower on my tiny finger
And cipher the heart of the yelp

Life Explained

Life is a cipher
One I cannot define
It baffles and confounds me
Whenever I ponder mine
The highs can be heartwarming
Though fewer and fewer these days
The lows are so very alarming
Often seen through a mystical haze
Oh bring back those wonderful moments
I pray to the Powers that Be
Go away, you looming black clouds
I beg you, stop following me!

Meaning

Life is there but missing the meaning
Breathing yet being cannot sense.....


My soul is asking this cipher illusion
Panthom is remaining unanswered...

Bursting with pain i am crying
And slowly slowly dying.....

Deep down in my throat the last note is dwelling
And uttering can't you come one and say.....

I am the meaning........
I am the meaning...............

Only After We Rehearse

Only after 
We rehearse insanity
The brutality that man found profanity
A man volcanity
Fatality in urbanity 
Medication mentality 
Humanity has inanity wrapped around trees
Posts of light
Cipher reality 
Reveal morality
Funky vitality is rather groovy 
I cannot feel my mundanity 
You can touch it.
We here can hear we
Only after
We rehearse formality.

Cipher

i'm all for
what do you want

but when the
specials are
more noise

my seat
becomes
more than

avant garde
regardless
of my up

bringing
bringing

me right back
to this page
where i'm

connecting
the dots and
got caught up

where to go next
following freckles
with my tongue a

mong all these
others from
shoulder

to where
they take
me further

don't your
tattoos
point to

some
where
else

Remnants of Indifference

Bits of pieces,

Scattered around,

To pick them up,

is what must be done,

 
Shifted about,

The broom sweeps,

What left underneath,

Is none of my concern,

 
Scoured away,

Evanesced by each beating minute,

Concealed far apart from my sight,

There is nothing to be noticed,

 
Cipher left behind,

Nullity lingers here,

Nothing was here,

Indifference, it never was.

Premium Member MYSTIQUE OF THE NIGHTINGALE

Oh nightingale, 
you rise like a small anointing in the dusk,
your voice a trilling psalm of love and lament.
You carry the mystique of prayer on your wings,
a feathered liturgy drifting toward the listening sky.

Oh nightingale, 
you sing from the chalice of stillness where God whispers,
your syrinx a cipher of creation teaching silence to awaken.
You carry ancient wisdom in your throat,
a feathered oracle scripting prophecy on the wind.

A Fool's Account

Fraud and deception of the affluent eyes
Toss my purpose aside and let me hemorrhage humiliation
Drops of unappreciative pain plaster and soil black  
Cackles to hide my mammoth of hurt
Echo through a maze of sovereigns and numeric cipher

I’m a non-significant member of manuscript
An unknown, a recluse, a bother
Gauche trials of loss and fray
Matter to none who play the game
Yet in our tightly packed world

The Joker is always included.

Winged Lure

In the depths of the abstruse pages 
A quill transcribes fathomless thought
Feathered ideas guilelessly tethered to
Existence with a black ink onslaught

The same plume that once lifted its own maker 
To heights undreamed of on the ground
Disembogues reflections of speculations 
On white pages that are now confound

A blank slate now full of words
From those who have come before
leaves us to cipher fact from fiction
At the confluence of winged lure
