Premium Member And Now For His Nexttrick

He defies gravity
He defies energy
He defies the atmosphere
He defies normalcy
He defies trickery
He defies natural disasters
And now for his next trip.
Oops…..

Fear

Fear is an evil demon that

Erodes your sense of security, comfort, and safety

As well as hampers your ability to function

Ruining any chance you have of normalcy

Starve

I know what society wants me to do. 
And I know how to do it. 
I just don't want to do it. 
The normalcy that's been normal for so long starved my soul. 
And I am not starving it anymore.

Wander

What lies beyond your eyes is an
Abundantly amplified sadness that is
Nibbling of off the darkness that 
Destroyed your dreams and
Erased your trust on normalcy to
Regret and walk aimlessly in life.

Premium Member NORMALCY

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Morning coffee spills~ a sigh, the rag’s slow waltz across last night’s dinner plate. Such small disasters stitch the soft fabric of normalcy.

Productive Member

What has happened
To the possibility
Of a better future 
Filled with normalcy
That the younger version
Of the self had imagined
That the future self
Would live within as
An a productive member
Of society

Premium Member Spirit Lady

Unknown entity
Making herself known,
To a nice family
In subtle, sweet ways

Frightens no one
Leaves little gifts
Feather or coins
As a kind hi

Normalcy
Of spirit
To family

Inspires
Brings love

Sweet

Nineteen Never

you
that glowing moonshine
parallel to your reflection
cheerless
but
antic
whispering : unofficially nineteen never
we chase perceptively astounding normalcy

Premium Member A Long Road To Normalcy

Coronavirus takes a stab at cancel culture.
       So much for "back to normalcy" 2022; Omicron...
             has put a lump of coal in our Christmas stockings.

What If?

Voice
Speak
above
my mind's yell
and sooth my heart's speech,
before reasoning is valid
and simplistic normalcy overturns these weak hands,
loosing chance of knowing, being stuck with horrible repetitive thoughts of: what if?

Second Life

Reality beating you down
SL allowing you to act like a clown
No recriminations
Just use your imagination

Possibilities are boundless

Act out your fantasies
There is no place for normalcy in this realm of roleplay and dreams

Stepford Ice

‘Normalcy’
has its
depression
built in

Mundane
and ill formed
life hiding
from sin

Each day
like the former
unseasoned 
and bland

With time
in the freezer
hope frozen
— and canned

Premium Member The Red Mirror

classic cran companion tunelessly twirlingly retiring
noiselessly in normalcy ,
lambertia on the glowing stairway
and whispering sunberry reflection
with prim parallel pass .

With Trump Normalcy We Hope

With Trump Normalcy We Hope

With Trump normalcy was an ascent,
What did happen to him as of recent;
We would hope,
Stop being dope;
Do become someone who is decent.

Wonder what the possibilities are
and will he ever?

Predator Vs Prey

Sitting
Waiting
Watching.

The prey has felt no
Fear.
It carries out a form of normalcy.

The predator
Stalks
The prey. This is the moment.

Dead now-
The prey is no longer alive.
Predator wins.

On to the next prey.
On to round two.

Premium Member Blue Springboard In My Kitchen

A blue springboard in my kitchen, 
A pink parachute in the bath.
I keep my parents guessing
Oddities stir my daddy’s wrath.

My total lack of normalcy
And my goat hat with the horns
Keeps them from regular visits
Giving me many peaceful morns.

Never Forget: Twenty Five Years Ago

Sweet September morn Fall's freshness Natural normalcy was all around us 
Soon something shifted, shalt not 
Killing came - Monumental Madness 
Hate hit our twin towers. 
Pierced Pentagon caused fiery flames 
"Let's Roll" rested in farmer's field

Comic Stature

The irony of mother nature
Posed with forefathers of Africa
Is the stature of comic posture
When proud butterfly in beauty
Dances on defecation of ugly donkey
Seeking the normalcy of natural reality
From obnoxious comedy of derogatory ignominy...

Baggy Elbow

Baggy elbow
Whisking a wow
Flapping & flopping
Constrained by conforming
With ambition

Baggy elbow
Blowing a bow
Swinging & swagging 
Hung from haggling
With normalcy

Baggy elbow
Trying a toe
Cracking & creaking
Tired from trusting
Itself

N Never to return and give us pain
E Ever grateful we will be, to return to normalcy

Last Crimson Swirl

Drowning in self degradation
Deliberate affliction is exacerbating 
Crystalline facade dulling senses 
Normalcy, forgetting our consensus


Score, decennary years within  
point, swirling under skin
Finality, deaths creeping in
Exodus, my last syringe
