Everyone wants to play god,
and in turn it turns them into the devil.
Yet no one wants to play the devil,
it might make you god.

Premium Member Obstacles

every obstacle
creates 
a barrier
every barrier 
a fence,
every fence 
a hurdle
this in turn 
begins building 
a wall
ran out 
of obstacles
the end

Weakness

we hide
to prevent others seeing our weakness
but in turn that makes us weak
we should stop hiding our faces
and face the truth that lays in front of us

Premium Member Medusa Is Loose

You were a close friend. 
Until my viewpoint differed from theirs.
Your tiara turned into snakes.
Envenomed my peaceful place.
In turn, I gifted you a mirror.


Call of the Cardinal

I heard a cardinal call today,
Up in a tree not far away,
And though I could not place the tree,
I joined him in his solo song,
And he, in turn, sang back to me

bring me this, bring me that
to lazy to grab his hat

He created the day, ruled by the Sun
Beneath His feet, He placed the Earth,

Amabilities Between the Sun and the Moon

The sun runs to the moon,

            to offer her a luminous day...

           receives in turn from her naked friend.

Together we dance lightly to glide,
In turn you're the earth, I'm your moon in full stride.

beyond the clouds that bring in dusk
beyond the light cast by the stars
the moon will grace us with benevolence
and we in turn will speak in whispers

in P town
tune in turn on and party down-
in P town
far out cats on purple haze
white lab rats lost in the maze
yeah,them was the good ol'daze

Reconciliation

He married a lady he could not keep, she in turn detested the guy she could keep. And both stared at fate, refusing to arrange life's love puzzle, because the word 'sorry' went on vacation.

Laughing

My heart shakes with joy,
My cheeks sheen superbly,
My eyes stressing out,
When i hold no gloom.

I set my life at a save pace,
Everything around at peace,
An unexpensive feedback to life,
In turn an addition to live.

“Like minds think alike.” Why is that? Are we connected, somehow? Our brains blue-toothed to each other. A telepathic togetherness. Enlightenment is possible. Tune in. Turn on. Connect.

Transparent

Transparent

Beginning to finally see clearly
Surface and layers peeling away
Each in turn a memory remembered
Forgotten, now re-emerging fresh and new
Familiar yet somehow changed 
By light tempered through time

Upon a Bed of Petals

Upon a Bed of Petals

upon a bed 
of petals, lay ye down
ambrosia lent
filling the senses
in pungent resistance

the unfurled rose
petals stripped in turn
a lovers gift
with heavenly soft scent
permeates the room

Miss Translation

she thought 
i said limbo
and started
to dance

arching her
back back
farther and
further as

her hips
twisted
and turned
in turn i lowered

the imaginary
bar even lower
just so she could
show her flexibility

Untitled

Reflections of the past
should be embraced.
Whether good or bad,
they increase the focus
while still at this place.

It is up to us from which
memories do we build.
In turn it brings forth
within us which was instilled.

Each Morning

The misty blanket morning dew
Has lain upon my lawn
Before my window, agape in view
I rise, I stretch, I yawn
The distant sun now blinks an eye
To signal of the dawn
As I, in turn, give it reply
As I rise and stretch and yawn

KNOWLEDGE OF SELF


An enemy, 
A friend in waiting
Could be
And 
A friend 
An enemy in the
Offing, 
All depend on our knowledge
Of others
That in turn depends
On 
How well ourselves we 
Know!

Premium Member Matching the Much

If I never asked for much then Much would never ask the same of me. But it is late and I am tired. Perhaps tomorrow I can match the Much I ask so much of and in turn the Much will ask much less of me.

Premium Member Power Manipulation

Politicians are manipulated by bankers, lawyers and big businessmen.
Politicians in turn manipulates the mass population.
Whenever I hear terms such as "democracy" and "freedom,"
I hear things that don't truly exist other than an illusion.
