helplessly I rise...

what's behind my door?
until you knock
loud enough for me to hear
you'll never know ~
it may be worth the risk

Absolutely beautiful
celestial diamonds
encourage flickering
galaxies heavenly invitations
joyfully kindling
lucent moonbeams
nascent overtures
perhaps quietly reflecting
spiraling tints
upon vibrant
worlds...

Never let intelligence
Get in the way of good judgment
Never let excuses
Inside your dreams
Never let the refusals
Cancel out the invitations
Never let tomorrow
 —destroy today

Long forgotten song,
Drifters find a home to rest,
Narrow road revealed.

Invitations here,
Penetrating barricades,
Summer rain unveils.

Your Arms wide open,
Mending scars from ancient days,
Faith has no limits.

Turning down every invitation…
the invitations stopped

Ensuring the freedom I always craved,
alone inside my thoughts

Misunderstood and misrepresented,
my feelings misconstrued

And needing to live within myself
—no enmity toward you

Some of China's Daughters sit in line,
their tongues in bubblegum
they knot their hands
in their skirts
and pop!
bubbled invitations inside
their legged tomb
and then toss
their mirrored face
in bins
and bury those eggs till they are black!
and a delicacy of
the China express:
the female cancer....

Your Tiara

 105 rhinestones glued into cheap elegance
 Trying to be more
 Silver plating, like your mind, chips
 Magical and awkward
 Worn to pressed dinner parties
 Invitations and assigned seating
 Little metal clips securing you your class
 So dangerous - Only a pin to hold you

GARLANDS


A garland is a beautiful thing
It can be made by a host of many 
Flowers, paper, greenery and twigs
Many for parties, weddings and gigs
Using for celebrations is all the rage
People have them on their invitations
But some are hung around the neck      
As used in a local custom of welcome

Other needs are cast aside;
Phone calls unreturned.
Invitations all denied;
Friends become concerned.

Two weeks’ time is not enough;
I’ll never get it done.
Guess I’m just not up to snuff,
But then, is anyone?

Three times longer than the rest,
Too wanted to renew;
I’m loving it, but I am stressed – 
My library book is due!...

THE ALABASTER BALL

Earth sent invitations
To a danse one night
Requesting all invited
Please – to come in white.

The glass-coached clouds assembled
And the Ebon Sky
Banked its brightest fire,
Snuffed each candled eye.

Then the Winds belled music
Set a whirling pace
And down the Heavens
Waltzed the Snows,
In their finest lace....

It's fall
the end
winter it's just 
days away
last leaves
fall around and die
sending wet invitations
for their melancholic funeral
calling all the angels
to come
but they're gone
maintaining a low profile
waiting
for the next spring
late may
when the little flower 
will born
again
and again will bloom
through tearful eyes
the little maroon
flower......

Lavender infusion,
Straight to the heart,
Beautiful purple,
Florets,
Aroma for life,
Pleasantly pleasing 
Arousing perfumery,
Fragrance soothing,
Silence and serenity,
Calming!
My sweet 
Scented elegance, 
Lavender!
Taste of your kisses,
Romancing invitations 
Messages flowering,
Attracting and desiring,
Sending letters,
To your one sweet love.

Breathtaking build up
With Santa’s coming
Hoping for snowfall
Christmas caroling
And season’s greetings

An endless list
So much to do
Festive details
Invitations

Midnight mass
Excitement
In the air

Did it~
Survived

Whew!

Ocean waves murmured in his ear
   Tales of adventure and buccaneers
Wind whispered softly through a tree
   Free yourself; come play with me

Sun's bright rays pierced his heart
   I'll light the path to your sweetheart
Cirrus clouds' wisps and curls whizzed on by
   Beckoning him follow Heaven's sigh

Nature beckons, extending invitations
   We ponder her writing, her adjurations...

Body shirts and platform shoes
Discos and push back dos
The Bee Gees Staying Alive
Do you get the Disco jive 

Countdown on a Sunday night
The latest tunes brought to sight
Toranas Chargers and Fords
Your choice Australian accord

Clothes so bright there was no hiding
Invitations that were so inviting
The 70s were the decade for me
Still single and so fancy free.

Within today's giftee's coup d'etat
Gratitude receives no big hurrah.
      A gift was expected
      gift cards are accepted
But thank yous are not a rule of law.

Announcements/invitations - aides memoire.
Sending thank yous will define who you are;
       when "re-cog" breaks through
       it's not ALL about you.
Appreciation makes the giver a star.

 "Re-cog" - recognition

The conspiracy bent..

Lives seem twisted and separations canyons..

Apocalyptic schedules have passed disappointing..

Family dysfunctions rampant and searing..

The suffering implodes..strong triggers are these

Begging the discovery of..simply appearance..the 

Passing of jagged dark stories..which have

Managed to transport many to oily blackness..

Invitations issued for a nighttime dance......

Omnium-Gatherum
By Tom
8/9/2019

Omnium-Gatherum is merely a collection,
Of persons, or sometimes, motley things.
At times others presence causes me abjection,
And variety rarely makes me, feel like kings.

I enjoy others, but generally from a distance,
And give few invitations into my personal space.
Sometimes they’ve crept in, through insistence,
But they’re never allowed, my tenets, to debase.

Birdsong

Skies of the brightest blue
Uncluttered by pollutions
Birds circle overhead
Looking for a place to roost
Males with their bright colors
Looking for a mate for the spring
Chirping into the cool valley air
Songs of greetings and invitations
They echo off the trees and mountains
Combining into a symphony
Males and females meet
They sing and dance into the early evening
Joining together in an ancient ritual
And life begins again...
