IMPULSE #7


Decadence dreams decay
Fiery flames fling foray


Last lazy light lifting
Odd ocean oomph oozing

A conscience blindly ignored,
complicates the simple way,
through this unethical foray,
and stops progress forward.

All 
is finite
or infinite
the scientists say

Laying the
trap
that supports
their foray

If either
is neither
is or
something more

Entrapping
our freedom
and handcuffed
— unsure

Living an eternity
  with each given day

The calendar a slave
  to the present foray

This moment at hand
  the only time you’re ordained

Exploding at once
  —over and over again

Living an eternity
  within each given day

The calendar subservient
  to the present foray

The moment at hand
  the only timeframe ordained

Exploding at once

I lied to do a GCE History
saying it was okay to proceed
on the adage of my Year Head
only then to get a grade A
Its hard to be unaided dyslexic
when I ask myself now
would GCE English Language
have been acceptable for an equal foray...

Heat laden dust 
 fluff scorch searing 
desert plains---
     earth seems aflame; 

gust twirl 
   it's stinging grains, 
rays of sun bake 
 minds of us who dare & 

foray hamlets that 
   know not rain, too 
tame austere in name...

Let's talk about peanuts or more specifically pee nuts
All you elderly folks know where I'm going with this smut
Frantic middle of the night foray
Walking into other people on your way
Cursing, holding their parts, holding back the flood ...

In this silent foray
Mystic music started to play
That was soothing to ears
A calming balm for the heart
Simple truths revealed
Complicated lies thrashed
To the mystic tune, heart beats danced
Just some moments, revealed all that is
This venture into silence, my greatest adventure...

You find them in early morning
You bless them with the setting sun--
jewel drops on spider's web.

At night, star webs spray light like sun,
sun of a far off world, sun life
spinning a travel foray
that we sip like water,
that we drink like dream food.

Eggs of Blue, spring is upon us Turdidae
Of that first clutch, how many will you lay?
Aspiring from your chest a Phoenixes display
Odds are twenty-four months before they decay
But those who survive that first fateful years foray
For five or six years their spring songs will play...

Dawn is coming night is gone
There be 24  hours in a day
Spring summer mornings crickets break out in a song
Robin's and sparrows join in the foray
For you see this nature's harmony not wrong
Daily nature song

Feathered ornaments delight
Softening the darkened night
We’ve seen what many saw before
While there was an open door
Down the streaking light foray
Softening the dented day
Cacophony, increasing sound
Warring, calling all around
Candid blessings soft reprise
Will His touch make us more wise?...

Let's foray, let's foray
Let's foresee the success of our nation.
To becoming foremost
The foreman is on the roll
Let's pray to our forefather and foregather 
The army is foregoing
Let's forefront the other
And forget rivalry
Let's foray and foregather 
To give a foregone conclusion.

August breezes will soon give way
To blasts of cold from old North wind,
Only briefly autumn holds sway,
August breezes will soon give way
To September’s chilly foray.
Is there never a peaceful blend?
August breezes will soon give way
To blasts of cold from old North wind.

Oft do I feel I should censor my mind,
Spill the ink on the cloth that my words lay,
Snatched by the Raven 'fore I finish my thoughts,
Mistaken by others that read as a foray,
Naught do I mean to cause an attack,
My emotions doth escape without thought,
Unhappiness apparent they will say,
Though the truth is adverse to what they sought....

Oh, what powerful lights on a sable sea
Sugar crystals sprinkled on all ebony
Back to the ground, eyes up to sky
Plant me like this, the very day I die
In a glass coffin on the world, display
My eyes to the stars, as comets foray
I pray to heaven if this be how my soul is condemned
In looking up, my words on angels garments hemmed...

So soft 
The touch
 Silk as much
 Fabric array does fray
 What can I say
Covering my lot 
in the foray 
Cotton to stay
 Folding in the wind 
So soaking in the touch
 You love so much 
Soft that's such
 So cradles a bath covering the touch is all that's left
So caress

Day of the Dead?
Is it something he said?
America misled.

Deceived at the top,
Easy to eavesdrop.

Lies all around
Our confusion compound.
Shall the truth be found?

Made in USA:
Undercover foray.
Everyone has their say.
RIP Native Son.
Trump's reign is done.
Our country has won.
Send him off on the run.

Cavalry chivalry;
Splendor cadillac ;
I'm sure love 
For you shall;
Not to be ignored;
Beloved you are my 
Beloved;
And heated bliss;
I must insist;
I 'll seal our hearts wish;
With the Velvet kiss;
Splendor a cabaret;
 I love you so this day;
What a beautiful foray?

I said you couldn’t hold me,
I told you I must scold thee.

Play tight and I will break free,
Play off and I must stroke three.

Twisting, writhing, jerking,
Shooting J’s and smirking.

You should be at work; box and clerking,
While I am here, going berserking.

Game is on today,
TOLD you I must slay.

Lebron-like in my foray,
Jordanesque in my ballet....

Standing at the edge of the bay,
I imagine a watery grave where lie
Remains of an old Spanish galleon
Laden with silver coins encrusted
Barnacles and unsalvaged treasure,
Where once the buccaneers partied
After a successful foray in a placid sea
In those moments I dance a sarabande
As my vivid imagination runs amok.

Such a wide range
Wines for a change


Pink fruity wine
Sip goblet fine


Red blossom vine
Now wine and dine


Dry white wine taste
Gulp in fond haste


Champagne froth here
Bubbly new spheres


Coffee wine swirl
Brown cuppa world


So many treats
Booze on a beat


Waltz wine foray
Sampling sips play
