Premium Member Swimming Pool For the Dog

A swimming pool for the dog?
My husband acts like I am mad.
Does he not remember my manmade bog?
A delicious pool for the most pets I ever had.

Premium Member she’ll be right mate

plying females with manmade bait ~ is not an animalistic trait 

beasts instinctively lie in wait ~ a misogynist will dope its date

Hieroglyphics of Heaven

Serpents in Egypt engraved images for each being
Unveiling the lack of discursive reasoning in the heavens
Not manmade patterns to represent sounds and reasonings

Premium Member Sunlight

Sunlight filters through heavy fog
Stillness wraps each chilled tree  
Noise floats upon fog's damp air
Manmade sounds a symphony

fall's angular light illuminates.... golden ginko's leaves

My Storm Has Calmed As a Result of You

my storm has calmed as a result of you
my lightening is now charitable due to your influence
my wind is now easygoing thanks to your astonishing gift of love
i am now a quietly humble rainfall with a shy, southern charm
you are the immovable umbrella that now protects me from all the manmade elements

The Destroying Mission

Being saved from bombers attack a boy was looked after
In a manmade small hole of underground shelter
He peeped out of it to be sure about whether  
More bombs were loosed from fighter
To destroy rest of the houses
To shatter rest of the hopes
To burn rest of the plants
To kill rest of humans
To ruin civilizations
With all nations.

Valentine

VALENTINE

Vanity says not to be alone on this day
Ask yourself is it necessary to be in love
Loving someone it takes time never a day
Ever stop to think even in love is lonliness
Today is another manmade commerce day
It is important to make each day fill of love
Nothing more important than taking time
Every single day should be valentine day

When

There was a time when we,

you and me,

had been it seemed 
 
more than all the world.

When you did fill me with that strength

that makes men gods.

Or better.

But it was nothing more than love,

a manmade thing that lets us think

there’s more to life than earthly strife.

And we, 

just for a moment had forgot 

what true life is

and what it's not.

Manmade

fog weaves silence into the cool morning,
consorting with cousin clouds 
as treetops sway and sigh

a lone spark ignites
flames that spread like bold disease   
while smoke-smog smothers
skies that cry acid raindrops 
onto graves of bark and ash

highways part the trees...
another cigarette butt
tossed out the window

Premium Member All My Adventures

     Though I traveled the world 
       I never did find
     aught but vacuous
       women and wine

     Distant shores 
       promised gold
     panned for weeks
       then got rolled  

    Wonders of nature
       thrilled me not
     manmade marvels
       I quickly forgot…

    A fitting end to 
       all my adventures
    Woe is me ~ I lost
       my dentures

Lies and Truth

Amidst the millions
If not billions
A refusal to admit
to a truth one must commit

for lies among the fogs
concealed the truth
all embedded in logs
awaiting a next move

no one hears
for it is to much to bare
all less fearful of God
rather prefer to hang on an evil rod

testing God's natural Truth 
against  manmade lies
when the bucket of flies 
Opens the world will split 

In two.
Form: Rhyme

Arzhang, the mirror of sublime wonder

Arzhang, the mirror of sublime wonder 
Not the manmade clamour of a corpus 
But beauty to make all split asunder 
Beauty: Purposiveness without purpose 
To prove to all trapped life, including us  
To ascend past the black clouds of reason 
To the Pleroma, with its sublime sun 
The source of every beauty in the all 
Arzhang, the art of Mani and the Son 
Sensuous semblance unveiled, heaven’s call

Premium Member Overwhelmed

when i am stressed
overwhelmed
my life spins out of control
always chasing my tail
feeling tossed about
no matter what i do
no matter how i try
my life still spins out of control
i’m nothing but a slave
to all powerful master
*time*
my heart my soul
my spirituality
are at their weakest
literally
bowing to the wrong masters
revering manmade gods

Progress

PROGRESS

A plastic sun, paper moon, painted sky of blue
End will come very soon no matter what we do
Manmade plants, not so nice but real ones never grow
Have a go toss the dice, one above and six below
Odds all fall against you, no one wins today
Some try but only just a few, yet no one gets their way
Our world is no use anymore even man can be replaced
In time the human substitute will be a brand new metal race

Premium Member A Kept Ode

Lighthouse
shines reflective sea lapping
rocks plus skipping a house mouse.

Stoic
structured aperture aiding
scarred fought homeless heroic.

Sullen
elements outstretched expanse
points a critter to lull in.

Manmade
contraption whirrs about as
a little varmint evade.

Compass 
nils bearing takes point
unexpected practices.

Keeper
mermaid purged surging wave,
tempt failed, saves a dreamer.

Premium Member Law of Nature

Earth around me felt the lightning
Trees trembled, their new leaves bravely hanging on

Wildflowers, innocence awaked in beauty
Shined their light in gratitide

Ground mice, dodging the strike
Sought warmth in familiar covens

My hand, my own hand, part of the earth
Stroked the grasses within reach

The air filled my nostrils with a sense of humid calm
Far more peaceful than any law, manmade

Far more peaceful

Than any law

...Manmade

Fluttering

Slight of movement
minute fluttering
flicker over my stomach;
as imagination takes
on passing butterfly's wings.
It's the beginning of one very new.
An early germinal stage,
the foundations of something
so much bigger to come....
Rudimentary hiccups 
of one so slight.
Invisible behind my bump grows,
an immature being -
I've seen it 
at scan stage.
Underdeveloped,
a miracle -
all manmade.
My future,
my hopes,
my dreams.
My child.

Otherwise

You look like someone I used to love,
just like that child I loved, even the grey 
morning knows the child is alive inside
somewhere.  Why don’t you reach for her,
reach out your hand just now, see if she
can reach an outstretched hand back
to you and be alive together again.
For a moment be free of everything
else that intrudes on that little girl
and you, who are always a child
in the eyes of the laws of the universe,
every old god, manmade or otherwise.

Fluttering Darkness

Fluttering darkness, take wing. Malignant talons, take life. Oblivion wings, take light. Pluck from the shade, this foul feeling manmade, without a reason or rhyme. Execrable expression of earthly emptiness, Detestable display of dauntless devotion, Perverse parade of practical pretence, Irreverent instance of intrepid insurgence. "Only faith may absolve you" But "darkness", launching into freedom's embrace, need not be forgiven nor freed
